message: I have removed the history section. It was copied  directly from the library's website. http://ppld.org/history-ppld  The site provides no information about the copyright on the site content which makes this a potential copyright violation. Although the editor adding the material states he or she is the Web master for the site, that is not sufficient proof of proper permission.   Furthermore, the material is also somewhat promotional. - Whpq (talk) 15:26, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Warren Court

message: The use of "underrepresented" and "overrepresented" in the section on "Reapportionment" are subjective and imply agreement with the finding of the court, rather than a description of the subject. The article should discuss, or reference, alternative interpretations of "representation", particularly in a bicameral legislature. See the Federalist Papers 62 (summary at http://www.gradesaver.com/the-federalist-papers/study-guide/section18/, beginning in the 3rd paragraph). I'm afraid I'm not really qualified to do more than recognize the issue, as I do not have a background in the law.

message: I am cofused by the last paragaph of the section Brown (1954).

thread_title:  4.1.1 Brown (1954) 

message: Under "Warren's Role" (summation paragraph sans subheading):
"Hugo Black and William O. Douglas led the opposing faction".
Cites reference 20, Michael R. Belknap, The Supreme Court under Earl Warren, 1953-1969 (2005) pp. 13-14.
Under aforementioned heading, "Decisions" subheading: "William J. Brennan, Jr., a liberal Democrat appointed by Eisenhower in 1956, was the intellectual leader of the faction that included Black and Douglas."
Cites reference 22, Powe (2000).
Minor points of contention:
* The apparent inconsistency (if not outright contradiction) regarding which Justices played a leadership role in said faction (and how, when, etc
* The framings have trappings of original research, bordering even editorializing.
* Powe (2000) seems to refer to that year's edition of Lucas Powe, Jr.'s The Warren Court and American Politics, whereas the 2002 edition exists as what is now reference 5. This suggests that the article is in want of source harmonization. 24.47.6.27 (talk) 23:50, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Not sure if I can simulate a correct pronunciation in English; for my ears it would be: Kot-se-boo. It is correct that the combination "ue" usually means the German Umlaut "ü", but in some cases (e.g. in North-east German) the use of the vowel "e" marks a prolongation of the partner-vowel.

Talk:Pascal Sébah

message: That the redirect for Sébah & Joaillier leads to Jean Pascal Sébah's article is entirely nonsensical. Pascal, his son, his partner Polycarpe, and the firm Sébah & Joaillier are all significant enough, with enough source material, to warrant individual pages. If not, they ought to be consolidated under a distinct article for the Sébah & Joaillier firm, which would include biographies of each of the three figures. I will therefore be moving the Sébah & Joaillier redirect into its own article, given the likely lack of activity from other editors on this topic. yaguzi (talk) 07:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Kenneth J. Gergen

message: Kenneth Gergen is indeed notable, but this article asserts rather than demonstrates. I've wikified it a bit, by de-hyping, but more should be done. For example, I've removed "what has been dubbed 'the crisis in social psychology'" because no documentation has been provided as to who so dubbed it. Also, the article itself is poorly documented -- the link goes to a Swarthmore website rather than the journal it was published in.
Other than that inappropriate link, there is no documentation to his quotations, etc. It would be a shame for WP to delete the article because of this, so I hope someone (else) who knows his work better than me will provide proper citations to quotes and more specific documentation throughout.

message: I have commented out the following sentence: "Buckley was Provincial Solicitor in the Executive when the Provincial Parliaments were abolished in 1875."
I've done this for the following reasons (not any of the reasons by itself, but in their combination):
*the sentence is unreferenced
*Scholefield (1950) lists the members of the Wellington Executive Council on page 236, and Buckley is not on that list
*the sentence is factually wrong, as provincial councils were disestablished in 1876. Schwede66 18:43, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

I read the book The Irish Giant and the scientists did dig up the skeleton but admitted they could not make a reliable estimate of his height, due to various issues.

Someone also added this article to the "Latvian people stubs", but all we know is that he was born in Latvia. Does he have any affiliation with Latvia?

replies: text: He was not only born in Latvia, but after studying abroad, he was influential in intellectual circles in Latvia in the 1930s. For example, he was important for transmitting the ideas of José Ortega y Gasset in Latvia. Like his wife, Zenta Mauriņa, he also wrote in the genres of essay and short story. He also was a culture editor for a wartime newspaper in Daugavpils, and active in the cultural circles of Latvian émigrés in the West after WWII. —Zalktis (talk) 14:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Patrick Stirling (railway engineer)

message: I'd have thought that an engineer who had designed a record-setting steam locomotive would be quite notable.  Additionally he was a member of a remarkable family of engineers (see Wiki-links to relatives who also have pages).  Maybe as an alternative to deletion, all the Stirling family members should be grouped into one page. Any offers to do that?  The fundamental issue I have with historic biographies is that the snippets of information are widely distributed, often amongst many individuals, and take time to come together as a collaborative construction. If articles are quickly recommended for deletion because they aren't perfect at the outset, then they never get off the ground. MaltonMan 14:45, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tailed frog

message: I am confused about the use of the term primitive in this article. The family is called primitve because it is the sister group to all other frogs, but it is not clear that the actual characteristics described as primitive are in fact shared with the common ancestor. In particular, it seems unlikely that the particular antibacterial secretions of this family were primitive and lost in all other frogs - it seems more likely that this is a derived characteristic. The source presents these chemicals as derived characteristics that have undergone evolution within this family.
It seems that because the family has been denoted primitive that all of its charactistics have been assumed primitive. I think it is questionable to describe a family as primitive because it is a sister group to a wider group (are the chelicerata primitive within the arthropods, for example?). I don't know if the number of vertebrae is a primitive characteristic as is claimed in the article - this would be interesting, but the assertion is made without any reference.

Talk:L. F. L. Oppenheim

message: The part where "citation needed" is marked after the remark on its influence as of today, I guess that one could mention virtually any book on international law and there is bound to be a reference to Oppenheim's. From the pile of books that I have by me the book is mentioned in Dieter Fleck (ed.) The Handbook of International Humanitarian Law, 2nd edition (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008); Dino Kritsiotis, "International law and the relativities of enforcement" in James Crawford and Martti Koskenniemi (eds.) The Cambridge Companion to International Law (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012), p. 245-268; Catherine Brölmann, The Institutional Veil in Public International Law: International Organisations and the Law of Treaties (Oxford: Hart Publishing, 2007); and I could go on and on but I got struck by apparent laziness. Hence, I do think that there is no particular need for a citation here nor is it missing. The only way to show its importance even today would be to account to all the scholarship that has found inspiration from the Oppenheim's in its numerous editions. Surely, it is no longer a standard textbook on the matters but it still deserves its place in the annals of international law.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.232.112.207 (talk) 19:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Larry Laudan

message: It is a shame that one of the best epistemologists of our time is portrayed here as a mediocre figure with some average achievements.  
All who have read Laudan would agree. He is obviously the only surviving dinosaur of the golden era of epistemology, the era represented by Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos, Feyerabend and, of course, Laudan himself. Here I'd like to outline a draft plan of what should be said about Laudan:
1. His problem-oriented epistemology in more detail. Comparison with Kuhn and Lakatos. (Progress and its Problems, 1977)
2. His reticulational model. (Science and Values, 1984)
3. His metaepistemology. The VPI project: testing the rules of scientific change. (Scrutinizing Science, 1992)
4. Laudan after VPI project: legal epsitemology.
This is very raw. Todo: elaborate.

Talk:Paul Henri Mallet

message: as a Mallet-Prevost family member currently living in the states, Paul Henri did not die in Geneva, he died in New Jersey, where he escaped. Multiple family records indicate Paul Henri was actually sympathetic to the revolution, sold all but one of his estates, and joined the republican army. He served as a high ranking officer in the republican army during he war of the first Coalition. however since he was a member of the aristocracy, he was rejected as he decided to assist his fellow members of the aristocracy escape france. An Order was put for his arrest by Marat, so he would flee to Switzerland, and then to germany. He would go to holland, then to england, and then to NYC. He would settle down in Alexandria, modern day frenchtown, and bring his family over from france. While most of this is family records, and is somewhat backed by actual records, we do know for a fact he did not die in Geneva. Garvey64 (talk) 16:45, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
