Talk:Joseph Alsop

message: Alsop is listed among LGBT writers, yet nothing is writen about his sexuality in the text.  I think something should be added and the information cited.
:Good point. Now added. Steve Casburn 04:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Alsop's homosexuality

message: I think more discussion of Alsop's political views in the post-war era, beyond a passing reference to Vietnam, is merited.  By that time, he had begun to develop the embittered and sardonic attitude today associated with neo-conservatives and is truly one their godfathers.  Moreover, during the 1950s his vituperative anti-communist polemics at times were of a piece with the demagoguery of Joseph McCarthy, most notoriouysly in Alsop's attacks on General Stilwell, and to a lesser extent General Marshall, as part of the "Who Lost China" hysteria of that period.  His connection with JFK may seem paradoxical, but actually it is not as Joseph Kennedy had developed similar views after having had an early falling out with FDR and was in fact a close friend of Joseph McCarthy, with his son Robert serving as his Senate counsel at one point.Tom Cod (talk) 06:51, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cold War Liberal

message: In David Halberstam's "The Best and the Brightest," he discusses Captain Joseph Alsop's three-part series in the "Saturday Evening Post" called "Why We Lost China" as a turning point in the red-baiting of China hands that took place in the McCarthy period.  He writes, "The Alsop articles began the process of legitimizing the issue:  twenty years later, both Davies and Service could single out the articles as a key to the turning point; the "Post" articles took the issue from the radical fringe and gave it a respectability where it would be adopted by a Republican party badly in need of issues.  It would be valuable to the Republicans but it would also be material for McCarthyism, and of the darker chapters of this American century " (pp. 115-116). 69.250.196.12 (talk) 21:52, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Exercise Talisman Sabre

message: This article is very one sided and not neutral. When I get some time, I will add information rebutting and balancing the environmental/activist POV. There is more information on the defence websites and from others who have been involved with TS that better explains the exercise.
For starters the "Peace" activists:
1> Can't even spell the exercise name. It's Talisman Saber. (US Spelling)

thread_title:  POV issues 

message: Since the exercise name switches off depending who's running it, I noted it in the lead and suggest referring to it as Talisman Saber in general, and then using the appropriate spelling when referring to a specific exercise. So for example Talisman Sabre 2007, but Talisman Saber 2009, and then Talisman Sabre 2011, etc. (Brianrusso (talk) 10:21, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Matt Bernstein Sycamore

message: It's been my understanding from other pages on Wikipedia (Jan Morris springs to mind) that Wikipedia uses the pronoun and gender the subject prefers/preferred. I came to Wikipedia to learn more about this author, so I'm hardly an expert, but judging from the website and biography, this author currently goes by Mattilda and uses the female pronoun. On the other hand, there's some indication elsewhere of identification as a 'gay man'. Without having read any books by the author (in particular, the one on gender), I'm somewhat at sea, but I would hope someone who has read more of Sycamore's work might weigh in with wisdom and/or opinion.

message: Officially, Vinings, Georgia is UNincorporated. It is NOT a part of any city and is an unofficial town, recognized as a Census-Designated Place by the US Bureau of the Census. It is NOT counted as part of the population of the City of Atlanta. For those do not understand, US Zip codes are assigned for postal convenience; they are not official. That is why Vinings can use "Vinings" on mail, if the people choose to. People in Vinings do not vote in the City of Atlanta and do not pay taxes to the City of Atlanta.

replies: text: I have changed the date to the 30th of November.  I believe that this is the intended date simply because most of the information taken from the DANFS has to be transcribed, and perhaps in a ship's log somewhere it reads something to the effect of "last day of November", and hence someone along the line simply forgot that November only has 30 days.

message: I have redone the introduction, but now more information on Trial Balance needs to be written. Go for it! - NilssonDenver (talk) 22:16, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need to expand this article 

message: Trial balance is no other than a statement that shows only the balance of account. By this, authority of business can see the balance of account at a glace. Secondly, a accountant of business can give a trail whether the book keeper keeps the account correctly. This is not a compulsory part of accounting. It just helps the accountant to verify the errors of double entries. Besides it helps to make financial statement in the ease way.
Remember it  trail balance can only pick up the mistakes of double entries bookkeeping.

thread_title:  What is trial balance. 

message: A trial balance is a list of all the general ledger accounts (both revenue and capital) contained in the ledger of a business. This list will contain the name of each nominal ledger account and the value of that nominal ledger balance. Each nominal ledger account will hold either a debit balance or a credit balance. The debit balance values will be listed in the debit column of the trial balance and the credit value balance will be listed in the credit column. The trading profit and loss statement and balance sheet and other financial reports can then be produced using the ledger accounts listed on the same balance. 49.126.100.119 (talk) 15:15, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring

message: I believe a better translation is "Law on Preventing Hereditarily Ill Progeny"
:Maybe, but this is the "official" translation offered by the Reichsdruckerei at the time. --24.147.86.187 13:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Since Reichsdruckerei was never a judge of good English, and that whole state no longer exists, that's not a good enough reason to use a word like "hereditarily", which just plain sounds un-English. A native speaker would be much more likely to come up with "… Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Disease". (Although nowadays the word "genetically", pronounced with four syllables, would probably be preferred here. Anachronistic? The word "genetics" was coined in 1904 or so, but only became popular later.) — Wegesrand (talk) 12:21, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Wieland–Miescher ketone

message: It is interesting to follow the history of this name reaction. In 1985 Professor Agami and associates were the first to name the proline catalyzed Robinson annulation the Hajos-Parrish reaction (Agami, C.; Levisalles, J.; Puchot, C. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun.  1985, 8, 441-442).
In 1986 Professor Henri B.Kagan and Professor Agami (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986, 108, 2353-2357) still called it the Hajos-Parrish reaction in the Abstract of this paper.  
In 2001 Professor Kagan published a paper entitled “Nonlinear Effects in Asymmetric Catalysis: A Personal Account” in Synlett 2001, No. SI, 888–899. In this paper he introduced the new title the Hajos-Parrish-Wiechert reaction.
In 2002 Professor Benjamin List added two more names and introduced the term Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction (B. List, Tetrahedron 58 (2002) 5573-5590).
The first announcement of the reaction appeared in 1971 in the patent literature as follows: Z. G. Hajos, D. R. Parrish, German Patent DE 2102623. (29 July 1971).In this Patent the isolation and characterization of the optically active intermediate alcohol 6 (bicyclic ketol) has been described.

Talk:The Mall, Lahore

message: We very frequently find MALL roads in cantonments. The historical reason is that MALL road was a division between married accommodation and living lines. So on one side, there used to be military units living lines along with administrative areas. On the other side, it used to be married accommodation for British Officers and troops. Dotted with bungalows and messes on the eastern side and lines on the western side. Indian troops were not allowed to cross the MALL road. That is why it was called MALL road since it stood for Married Accommodation and Living Lines road.

Talk:Sanai

message: According to an analysis by Peter Armenti at the Library of Congress, there is a reference to Hakim Sanai's poetry at the end of the 2017 film The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro, and I think that this merits a mention in the Wikipedia page for Hakim Sanai. In the final scene of the movie, the narrator recites a few verses of poetry without specific attribution. There is a Library of Congress pagehttps://blogs.loc.gov/catbird/2018/03/who-wrote-the-poem-at-the-end-of-the-shape-of-water/ in which Peter Armenti makes the well-advanced and convincing argument that the poem appearing at the end of The Shape of Water is an adaptation by Guillermo del Toro of a translation made by Priya Hemenway of an original poem by Hakim Sanai. I'm not sure how this would be best incorporated into the article, but I wanted to put this connection on the record somewhere.

:Hi Simon, as the person who proposed deletion I'll also have to concur with the merge (a redirect to Loughborough University).  The precedent is the William Morris AfD; halls at Lufbra aren't notable in the same way as Oxbridge halls.

You already have a Faraday website for your prospective students where you can put anything you like.

Talk:Latin alphabet

message: As the title says, I was thinking that maybe this article should be renamed to something else to better distinguish it from the modern Latin alphabet. Especially since I noticed that quite often on articles that should link to the modern Latin alphabet, quite often people simply write Latin alphabet but because it instead links to this one without them knowing it and so for that I proposed this, together with adding a redirect when it's written "Latin alphabet" to the article "Latin script", which is about the modern one, since very often, when they write that, they actually want to link to the modern one and not to the ancient one, at least for what I noticed. Just to use an example this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin . But I'm unsure if it'd be a good idea and so I wanted to ask for opinions. 94.38.156.219 (talk) 09:17, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
