Talk:Family room

message: In the U.S., a living room is where people entertain guests.  It is better decorated and has better furniture and normally there is no TV in that room.  A Family room is where the familty spends most of their time.  I think the British usage may be different.  In Britain there is a concept of Drawing Room which is equivalent to the U.S. living room. I have a suspicsion that a British Living Room is the equivalent of a US family room.Skapur 05:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen that getting these merged is perhaps a lost cause, but let me point out again that a merge doesn't mean that the terms are equivalent.  Merging is for the benefit of readers--so you can explain the subtle differences in one spot, instead of hoping the reader can figure it out.  And as a lifetime resident of the US, I can tell you that the distinctions you draw simply do not hold up...the terms are perhaps sometimes--perhaps usually--used that way, but not where I live, which is definitely in the US.  What we really lack here are sources.  NickelShoe (Talk) 16:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: These are completely different concepts.  What you are proposing would be the same as merging Parlor and would lead to the same kind of ambiguity.  Perhaps some kind of list of typical residential rooms and their functions would be useful so that subtle differences between Parlor, Living Room, Family Room, and any others could be explained in detail there.  Just a thought. My experience is the same as Skapur's, that the Living room is for guests and socializing while the Family room is for private time and television. -- M0llusk 05:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Popé

message: This article says:
: Popé is one of the Native Americans who were accused, arrested and tried for practicing "sorcery" in 1675. Three of the men who were found guilty were taken to their respective villages; two were hanged. One hanged himself before the Spanish could. The remaining 44 were publicly whipped and sentenced to prison.
Something is missing here. The article says that Popé was "accused, arrested and tried". But it doesn't say whether he was found guilty. Isn't that the most important fact about any trial? Why isn't it mentioned here? And if he was found guilty, the article should say what his penalty was. We are only told that 2 were hanged, 1 committed suicided, 3 were sent back to their villages, and 44 were whipped. It's interesting to know the penalties that these other men received, but why aren't we told what penalty Popé received?—Lawrence King (talk) 23:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: request for lang preservation info

message: I think that the language revitalization page could benefit from the types of documentation done on the language, particularly about the Swadesh List recorded on 2010-09-21 in the document repository held in San Fransisco California.  We could include a link to the Wikipedia page for the Swadesh List, or a general explanation of what a swadesh list is like this: A Swadesh List is a list of words recorded in the language recorded in order to get the general “gist” of a language.  It is normally recorded in IPA.

Talk:Jack Thompson and the Jacob Robida murders

message: Who is this Thompson character anyway?  The article about him doesn't give his first name or say who he is, and its title is  misleading (in that, apparently, he wasn't invovled in the murders at all, only the investigation, though how precisely is unclear).

Talk:Washboard (musical instrument)

message: I have no experience editing pages, but have some information I think would enrich the topic of musical washboards.  
I just returned from Louisiana cajun country where I picked up a washboard from Tee Don Landry who has carried on the process of frottoir production that he learned from his father, Willie Landry.  Willie was the metalworker who met Clifton and Cleveland Chenier and made what is likely the first frottoir, based on a design Clifton drew in the dirt.  I spent an hour with Tee Don at his home on May 7, 2007 listening to his recollection of this history, and observing the shop where he carries on the tradition of handmade frottoirs. 
Further documentation of these events can be found on Tee Don's website at .  From there, you can also follow the link to , which not only details this history, but also describes and documents the acceptance of 2 of Tee Don's rubboards into the Smithsonian's collection.  On this link, further links are referenced that provide additional documenting sources.
Finally, I would also recommend including one of New Orlean's contemporary musicians in this article.  Washboard Chaz is a highly respected artist in the New Orleans area, and a repeat performer at the New Orleans Jazz Fest.  The Washboard Chaz Trio includes a harmonica player and exceptionally talented blues guitar player of the Mississipi blues tradition.  What makes him of added interest to an article on musical washboards is the fact that he makes great music utilizing the simple laundry-style washboard, as demonstrated on his website,  
I hope this info will be useful to someone with more experience editing Wikipedia pages.

Talk:The Yacoubian Building

message: The articles states that Taha's organization is modeled upon the Muslim Brothers. I disagree because I don't think that the military organization described in the novel is close to the activities of Muslim Brotherhood. In the 90's and now, the MB seem to be more into political activism than violent terrorism. I think the novel's organization is closer to more violent groups like Jamaa Islamya or Jihad, which were mainly responsible of the terror of the 90's. By the way, the camp's chief talks about his organization as the "Jamaa". Jamaa is a word meaning something like community or unity. But this could be an element to think that the described organization is actually the Jamaa Islamya.
Depending on your reactions, i may either delete the reference to MB or replace it by Jamaa Islamya.

Talk:Michael Ledeen/Archive 1

message: He advocates "total war" in the service of democracy, a view some critics disparage as "totalitarian".
Find me where he advocates "total war."
:This is actually partly a mistake, a quote from a fellow neocon was misatributed to Ledeen. Check Disinfopedia entry :
Ledeen and the 'total war' misattributed quote
The following quotation has been widely misattributed to Ledeen: "If we are going to win a total victory in the war on terrorism while deterring other major wars around the globe, we will first have to rid ourselves of our aversion to total war. By 'total' war, I mean the kind of warfare that not only destroys the enemy's military forces, but also brings the enemy society to an extremely personal point of decision, so that they are willing to accept a reversal of the cultural trends that spawned the war in the first place. A total-war strategy does not have to include the intentional targeting of civilians, but the sparing of civilian lives cannot be its first priority... The purpose of 'total' war is to permanently force your will onto another people group... [T]otal war pits nation against nation, even culture against culture."
In fact, the quotation is from another National Review columnist, Adam G. Mersereau [3]. Ledeen is justifiably angry about the misattribution, and blamed a Brown University professor, William Beeman, for it [4]. Brown has admitted the error and apologized [5]. The misattribution has been widely repeated on the Internet [6].
However, Ledeen has advocated total war, although not in such offensive terms. In a 2003 essay for the American Enterprise Institute, he wrote: "There is every reason to believe we will succeed in revolutionizing the Middle East, for we have always excelled at destroying tyrannies.... We wage total war, because we fight in the name of an idea — freedom — and ideas either triumph or fail." [7]
