Talk:Monkey tennis

message: Hello Chilikid! I'm interested in your Monkey tennis article, for obvious reasons! An article with this name was previously deleted for being non-notable, although it only related to a pub-game from Lee-on-Solent. Yours seems far better. Do you have any sources you can cite for this use of the term (apart from the Partridge-reference: I know about this one)? Cheers Monkey Tennis 12:36, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I Entered Monkey Tennis to see if it would come up as an adopted phrase and was pleased to see it had been. This is one of the more likable aspects of this website regarding the egalitarian aspect of it (despite the rather pompous and self important attempts by some 'full-time hobbyist' editors). They should place a notability tag over their own heads really.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Le Gibbon (talk • contribs) 06:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Catalan negationism

message: Hola! Viva Catalunya! but... there is no doubt that Franco tried to rewrite history, as such you can talk of historical revisionism (the distinction between historical revisionism and historical revisionism (political) is, to my knowledge, of no scientific value...). But, negationism? See the talk page of negationism: this is originally a french term reserved to Holocaust denial. I fully agreed that they are more than one genocide, but think that negationism, for the time being, is primarily associated to the Holocaust. Why not change the page name on "Historical revisionism (Catalunya)"? As such, it would go in neatly with Historical revisionism (Japan)... Kaliz 13:28, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical revisionism

message: I have been working on the article historical revisionism (political) and looking for examples of negationism, so far I have found only two clear examples via Google which are not directly related to Holocaust denial:
* Negationism is the denial of historic crimes. The word is derived from the French term Le négationnisme, which refers to Holocaust denial. It is now also sometimes used for more general political historical revisionsim as in:
** Dr Koenraad Elst Negationism in India - Concealing the Record of Islam (1992). 
** (PDF) UNESCO against racism world conference 31 August – 7 September 2001 "Given the ignorance with which it is treated, the slave trade comprises one of the most radical forms of historical negationism."
Currently a Google on ["Catalan negationism"] returns about 25 English pages for "Catalan negationism" all of the AFAICT this article. Unless there is a verifiable reliable source which uses the term "Catalan negationism" it should be renamed as Wikipedia should not create neologisms, see Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms --Philip Baird Shearer 20:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:James R. Newby

message: I have reverted the edits made by 168.184.243.83 because they chopped material in the middle and accidentally ended up with nonsense.
I realise that this anonymous user probably felt that the information about Newby's father (whose name is not given in the book from which I sourced the article) was irrelevant. 
However I wished to preserve the information about both Newbys, which, if Newby is giving an accurate unembellished account of his father and himself, seemed significant for African-American history/biography.  The book is rarely to be found, even in libraries, so this article will be the only place where this information is readily available.

Talk:Home front

message: Help needed please for WWII British legislation concerning industry, transport and land including requisition.
JYK
====Origins of the phrase "home front"====
According to this article the phrase was not used until WWII, but in fact it was in common use in WW1 and the OED cites an example from Punch the year after the Great War ended and many others from the 20s and 30s. A quick search of a Canadian newspaper database reveals several thousand instances of its use in major dailies in Canada from 1939 to 1941, for instance.
===German economy not mobilized===
This passage, which states that the German economy was not mobilized for war until 1943, reflects a very old understanding of the Nazi economy, though one which became so deeply entrenched in WWII literature it persists in many popular histories of the war. But since about 1982 it has not been a defensible position: all economic indictators are that the Nazi leadership put the economy on the war footing very early. However, armaments output was low because the economy was poorly organized and production techniques were outdated. In addition, all the recent evidence suggests that the Nazis used women in the labor force at a rate at least as high as the U.S.
===Civilians not involved===
The first paragraphs states that prior to the 20th century civilians were rarely considered military targets. Obviously this is incorrect. For much of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries European states, when fighting each other, refrained from slaughtering one another's civilians. But in the ancient world, throughout medieval times, into the early-modern period, the name of the game was rape, pillage, and plunder, and of course this was true even in the 17th to 19th centuries when dealing with non-Europeans or rebels.

Well I'm not that sure it is (simply mispelt) - both spellings occur quite frequently alas, so as with Ratcliffe, Radcliffe lets cater for people arriving from all directions please  Better that than have lots of separate articles blossoming. (But I agree that Du'r is the Climbers' Club spelling and they were usually careful on these matters. So if you consider you know more Welsh than the originator of the redlink I used, please alter but provide redirects for alternative) spellings).Better still, add some content or a picture :-)  Bob aka Linuxlad 17:08, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The redirect would of course be left; there's no question about that. And I guess I do know more Welsh than that red link's creator: Clogwyn Du'r Arddu translates as black cliff-face of the plough (probably; there are several possibilities that I can see for "arddu"), and is a contraction of "Clogwyn Du yr Arddu". "D'ur" on the other hand is just nonsense, although an understandable mistake for someone who doesn't know Welsh (i.e. almost everyone). --Stemonitis 18:23, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Dunblane Cathedral

message: Most cathedral buildings currently used by the Church of Scotland have always been scheduled state monuments and therefore it is not "unusually" to belong to crown estate rather than the congregation. The Glasgow Cathedral  of Saint Mungo also fall into this cathegory.
The ownership of most Church of Scotland buildings is vested in the Church of Scotland General Trustees, whilst some are vested in local trustees. (Outside of the Scotland, the Church of Scotland Trust has the same function.) Glasgow Cathedral and Dunblane Cathedral are Crown property - the ruined section of Dunkeld Cathedral is also Crown property (unlike the section used for worship.) Ruined cathedrals no longer in regular use for worship (such as Elgin) are Crown property and maintained by Historic Scotland. St Magnus' Cathedral, Kirkwall, is also unusual in being owned by the people of Orkney, through Orkney Islands Council. I do not know who are the trustees of St Giles' Cathedral (Edinburgh) and St Machar's Cathedral (Aberdeen). In most cases, the graveyards surrounding historic churches are owned and maintained by the local councils. --Matthewross 16:30, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
