Ministry of Silly Walks (talk) 22:58, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rienzo and Fascism 

message: Article is rife with both unbecoming point of view and lack of references. If the authors deem themselves as to possess the style - though neither the quality nor the eloquence - of Edward Gibbon, whilst not using any references to substantiate points, the end result becomes an unreadable mess of judgement. For example:
"He then seized, but soon released, Stefano Colonna and some other barons who had spoken disparagingly of him. But his power was already beginning to wane, as this sudden exaltation intoxicated his understanding, and exhibited feelings entirely incompatible with his elevated condition."
The first sentence may well be okay, but needs to be referenced (I believe Gibbon, Vol.6). The second sentence is a beautiful judgement (if, again, by someone unnamed), but remains entirely inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. Instead, "Contemporary writers (c.f. ref) believe their release was evidence of his waning power,..." &c., would be considerably better (in the context of modern times encyclopaedia). My apologies for ranting about this without actually improving the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.3.103.7 (talk) 09:05, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:West Qurna Field

message: Hi
can someone help me to understand what this sentence exactly means:
 The field was closed to Western firms due to years-long sanctions.
Is it about the past when (Oil for Food etc) or is it about the 2003 and after era? What does "closed" mean? Closed is the word which is confusing me since the field now is open again? I think a lot of people with bad English like me got problems, but the young people in my age usualy don't visit pages like this, unfortunately... Greetings from Europe :) Kilon22 (talk) 13:17, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Mapaville, Missouri

message: Mapaville is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Missouri. It is located about halfway between Festus and Hillsboro on Missouri Supplemental Route A. This area is believed to be the home of infamous bandit Jake Dallas, of the Cole Box gang, which robbed stage coaches and trains. The gang is best known for their gunfights with Sheriff Kyle Proemsey and his deputies including the hot-tempered Ryan "Quick Draw" Murphy. Although Dallas and the Cole Box gang were eventually gunned down by Proemsey and Quick Draw, their loot was long believed to be hidden beneath what is now Pure Pleasure Adult Superstore in Herculaneum. This rumor was proved erroneous (on all accounts) in 1985 when a large Discovery Channel Expedition to the site revealed nothing. A government cover-up is suspected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.86.161.46 (talk) 22:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mine La Motte, Missouri

message: Nothing I've ever read about this region makes me think that there were actual Spanish colonists here.  It was under Spanish dominion at times, and there was a Spanish governor at Ste. Genevieve.  But Spanish involvement never went beyond administrative control here; it was all French.  One or two adventursome Spaniards wouldn't justify stating that the minerals here were exploited by Spanish and French colonists.  Nor does de Soto's passing by two centuries earlier have any relationship to colonists.  My deletion can be reverted with proper citation, which I'd find to be interesting reading.  --Kbh3rdtalk 23:48, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Philadelphia, Missouri

message: According to the Wiki definitions, I think it's no longer a stub.
Palmyra's entry is about the same size.
I'd like to get a table of contents (TOC) and geographic info.
Something similar to but much simplier
than the Quincy page.
WIKI may do the TOC - sounds vaguely familiar...
I think I can come up with some of the geographic data,
but if anyone knows where the center of town is and has a GPS unit,
that'd get the longitude, latitude and altitude.
I think history would be a good place to start, for example, I have no idea who
the Glascock's were or who Pearl was?
Pearl Glascock owned a Shell gas Station in Philadelphia for about 60 years.  He lived in a large 2 story brick house that was made of brick from the old Philadelphia college.  Before the town had electricty,  he had a generator that furnished power to the town.  Mr Glascock died in 1976.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.47.105.152 (talk) 03:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Plato, Missouri

message: I'm excited to know that the US Census Bureau is about to release its 2020 US Population Centroid location.
 
I believe that this data release will be notable because it will show an historic slowdown in centroid movement, probably the slowest since the 1910-1920 period as an aging population, ongoing economic difficulties, and the impact of the pandemic work to reduce both the means and reason for Americans to move. 
Using a method validated in predicting the location of the 2010 US population center, my estimation for the location of the 2020 centroid is: 37.410844 N; 92.364605 W. 
This position is 12.83 miles/20.65 kilometers southwest of the 2010 centroid. 
This spot is located in Wright County, MO, about 10 miles southwest of Plato, MO and 13.63 miles northeast of Hartville, MO. It remains closer to Plato than Hartville, but I’m thinking that the Bureau may opt to name Hartville the center given its symbolic name. We’ll see soon. 
Judging from past performance, this estimate should be within a mile or two of the official position (that’s the best I can do because I’m working with state-level data). I’ll let you know exactly how far off once the Census calculation is released. 
Best,

Talk:Ukrainian hip hop

message: I left this "Musically, Ukrainian hip hop is heavily influenced by Jamaican reggae, French hip hop and Ukrainian folk music, resulting a very tuneful and mellow sound, which makes it quite different from both Russian and American counterparts." in the article, but it should really be sourced.

thread_title: Requested move

message: There are major holes in the information here.
For one, there needs to be an "Arrival of RAMSI" section, explaining the lead up to intervention. Explaining the causes for the conflict provide useful context (and from a good source), but it is not laid out adequately, and needs more explanation.
Secondly, there is quite a gap between the arrival of troops and their reduction. What RAMSI were actually DOING needs to be discussed.
Thirdly, the overwhelming success of the mission needs to be at least mentioned. RAMSI is probably THE example of successful humanitarian intervention.
Yeah. I'll probably try to incorporate these things myself in the near future. But if anyone wants to add something that needs work, go ahead. --Matthew Proctor (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 02:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Romanian hip hop

message: While political themes are dominant, I have also been able to pick up on a backlash against tourism in Romanian hip hop.  In a country that is actively seeking the tourist dollar, it is natural that the youth culture would give criticism to the marketification of its history and culture.  Romania currently holds the lands from where the Vampire legends come, and some very tasteless attempts have been made to market that fact to tourists.  Thankfully it's not the norm, but it can be quite offensive to Romanians.  My Romanian isn't perfect, but I can understand enough to know when someone is saying "Tourists go home" or some such phrase in a hip hop song.

thread_title:  Errors 

message: "Due to the liberal policy of the BSD license..."
The article states nvi differs arcoss BSDs due to its license. I doubt this is the actual reason.  I would guess the real reason is more that primary authors, as the article notes, are not actively maintaining nvi.  Without a maintainer to merge in changes from various sources, fragmentation will naturally occur.  And, I note, this will occur even if a more restrictive license (but one which still allows creation of derived works), such as the GNU GPL, is used.
Of course, this is just conjecture.  Not fact.  But then, so is the stated reason in the article.
I recommend the reason be deleted.  Kdz 03:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Photo?

message: Duplicate article that I changed to a redirect. See if there's anything in here that can be put into this article.
Owen is a two-year-old hippopotamus that was orphaned by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. At that time, Owen was a baby hippopotamus living near the Kenyan coast. As the tsunami hit, baby Owen was caught by the waves, separated from his mother, and washed out into the Indian Ocean. Facing near certain death, he was luckily rescued by wildlife rangers in the waters near Malindi.
On December 27, Owen was relocated to the Haller Park wildlife sanctuary in Mombasa, Kenya.  Soon after being placed into his enclosure, the hippo discovered the giant tortoise also housed in the space.  The tortoise, named Mzee and estimated to be between 100 and 130 years old, did not accept Owen at first.  Yet Owen continued to follow Mzee, and within days they had taken on a mother-childlike relationship.
