message: No one denies that it was part of Georgian cultural sphere and quite likely a significant part of the population was ethnically Georgian, especially  - to the extent that we can speak of ethnicity in 9th and 10th centuries. However saying that it was a Georgian medieval state requires sources that explicitly define it as such (and not mention it in passing). Alaexis¿question? 15:51, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:The Mind Parasites

message: This book sounds as if it's theme is similar to Ayn Rand's philosophy "Objectivism."  Is there a connection?  I understand the author had many philosophical themes in his work.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justinjuicebox (talk • contribs) 20:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Relation to Ayn Rand's Philosophy of Objectivism? 

message: Unfortunately the material recently added (and excised 12-16) did not describe the plot but rhapsodized about the book and its impact on one reader. WP is not a blog! I greatly admired this book when I read it long ago (as I did The Outsider and The Occult). It really deserves a well-written plot summary, one that will encourage more people to read and appreciate it. Too bad that admirers haven't managed that yet. Twang (talk) 06:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Corporate liability

message: I have removed this section because sovereign immunity is not an element of liability, but of jurisdiction to adjudicate. In addition, almost everything that a corporation could do that would give rise to liability would not be covered under the restrictive theory of sovereign immunity, which is accepted by nearly all states. See Restat. 3d of Foreign Relations § 451:
Under international law, a state or state instrumentality is immune from the jurisdiction of the courts of another state, except with respect to claims arising out of activities of the kind that may be carried on by private persons.
Thus, unless the corporation was engaged in activities different in kind from those undertaken by private persons (such as espionage, terrorism, etc.), sovereign immunity would not apply. I believe that these circumstances are sufficiently rare that sovereign immunity does not bear mentioning here. Though the Restatement summarizes how international law is incorporated into US law, the European Convention on State Immunity (1972) also codifies the restrictive theory, as do the British State Immunity Act of 1978, Canadian State Immunity Act of 1982, and Australian Foreign States Immunities Act of 1985.

Talk:Tourist Season (novel)

message: Now that Jimmy Buffett has passed on I took a listen to “The Ballad of Skip Wiley”. This really doesn’t seem like typical Jimmy Buffett fare, and I wondered why he recorded it. It has all the hallmarks of a theme song for a movie, one that never was made, perhaps because of its controversial topic. Is there any information that indicates that my hypothesis is true?

message: I see that someone recently added content to the article from http://www.peterfrancisgeraci.info/. Unfortunately, we cannot accept such content, for a couple of reasons. 1) It seems like the site was produced by someone closely associated with Geraci. Our conflict of interest guideline advises against such material. 2) I have no idea if the person who added the content even has permission from peterfrancisgeraci.info to do so. I suspect that they do, but all I have to work with is an IP address, so I think it's better to be safe than sorry.
That said, I'd very much welcome additional information on Geraci, especially about his accomplishments  beyond the infotapes. I only ask that such content is cited to neutral sources.

Talk:Music in the Stone

message: The album Music in the Stone does meet the requirements as a notible album as the terms say. It actually meets it in more than one way. It has an artist who later went on to do more notable work (more than one) who are also featured on Wiki, it was also releated in a 10 year ongoing project by Burren Action Group to raise money to prevent development of Mullaghmore.  This album was available for purchase for more than 9 years, making it part of a long running charity, and not of little note.

message: I've added some external links, but I'm not ready to remove the prod tag. First, two of the links, although somewhat useful in establishing the use of the term, contain ads. Second, the term seems to be used with at least three meanings:
#A dog with separation anxiety
#A dog that prefers to be near its owners or other people, whether or not it exhibits symptoms of separation anxiety
#A dog that remains close by the left side during the obedience "heel" exercise
Part of me says "delete the article"; another part says "leave it, since it can serve the function of disambiguating the meanings, and someone would just re-create it anyway".--Curtis Clark 17:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As it is a slang term, the presence of multiple related but distinct meanings is not that surprising.  I don't exactly know whether this can be expanded or whether it should be transwikied to Wiktionary and then re-prodded, but I'm contesting the prod notice (as the reason "unreferenced neologism" has been addressed and also because the prod tag expires in 2 hours), with no prejudice (at least on my part) to re-prodding if the article is transwikied.  -- Black Falcon 21:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Late answer, but anyway. I think the point of that statement is to give the reason why little is known: his reign is period of chaos and disintegration. When people fight wars, civil wars, war with rebellious provinces, this tends to reduce such activities as putting stylus in a piece of clay to write history.  This is an important point to make, because otherwise readers think Wikipedia is so incomplete. Jcwf (talk) 03:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Vicarious liability (criminal)

message: I remove the following statements from the "History" section, because I thought them to be either NPOV or academically unsupported:
*[Imposing vicarious liability on employers has] remained a tempting common law possibility: I don't think this statement is NPOV.
*the greater the monitoring and control exercised over the workers, the more an employer assumes the risk of the worker's conduct: As willful blindness generally does not vitiate a mens rea element, I find this statement unlikely to be true.
*[rational employers] might choose not to supervise and plead ignorance of their rogue workers' activities: I think this is connected to the previous statement.
*The problem is that, as the insurance industry developed, employers could transfer the risk for an ever smaller premium payment and ignore the threat to capital. This was included under what is now risk spreading, but I think it is logically inconsistent, as it enhances the ability to risk spread. It might be a better fit under exercise of control, but I think my addition of  the final sentence takes care of the point.
*This is a distribution of loss or "risk spreading" justification and assumes that, when there are many customers, the price increases will be minimal. The assumption may not actually be justified if there are few customers or the business is close to insolvency.: I do not believe that the primary assumption is necessary, the secondary point is only true if the customers do not have "deep pockets", and the third point does not see much in practice as the party would not be worth the cost of suit.
In addition, I am unsure that the entire block at the bottom of this section, even as reorganized, merits inclusion in the criminal article for vicarious liability. It really seems to describe the justifications for imposition of vicarious civil liability. I will wait for more consensus before wholly removing this, however. Danculley 05:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Wilberforce, Baron Wilberforce

message: I heard something to the effect that the English courts have effectively overruled every major decision that came from Lord Wilberforce.  I am curious whether is this is true and if so whether it is commonly believed that this was done as a deliverate disavowal by the courts of everything Wilberforce did, or is simply a coincidence of the changes that have affected recent English common law.  If true it would make an important part of the article.  If it is not true, the fact that the rumour is circulated might be important in and of itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Joshua Bearden (talk • contribs) 05:19, 16 January 2007
:It isn't true.  Although some of his judgments have been superceded (Anns v Merton, William & Glynis Bank v Boland) the majority of his key decisions are still accepted as good law (IRC v Ramsey, Quistclose, Securicor).
