message: But that is extradiegesis. It would be diegesis if the James Bond theme existed in the same universe that James Bond exists in, and if it were, again in that world, known to be attached to either MI6 or James Bond. Of course in our world the theme is attached to Bond, but in our world Bond is not an actual secret agent. The joke works for us, extradiegetically. It could be construed as diegetic if there were a famous movie spy, call him Jim Cumber, in the Bond world, whose theme happens to be the same.

message: The article says: "Guerilla warfare against the Portuguese in Guinea (not in Cape Verde, however, as logistical reasons prevented an armed struggle on the islands) began in March 1962 with an abortive attack by PAIGC guerillas on Praia." 
This is strange, since Praia is in Cape Verde (it is the capital).
The article says :"Portugal was on the verge of bunkruptcy".
this is not accurate,Portugal was doing quite well economicaly even with three war fronts. A coup de etat happened mainly because of career issues within the army and not because of bankruptcy.

Talk:Cheerleading/to do

message: * Would like to remove the heavy bias towards the US cheerleading image by adding a disambiguation call.
There is "traditional" cheerleading as in a following of it's origins. Cheerleading and pleasing the crowds at an event as  entertainment during a lull.
And there is competitive cheerleading which is a series of championships to find the most skilled squads and to promote the technical skills of cheerleading, which is itself the event.
The two are very different.

You kindly edited a page about the [River Chew] changing the sub category of British Rivers from River Chew to Chew River - however there is no page in Wikipaedia for Chew River & I have no idea how to do a redirect if someone looks for Chew River to show them the entry for River Chew.

Thanks for that. All I did was to ensure that the existing River Chew article appeared in the Category of British Rivers filed under the letter C for Chew rather than the letter R for River.

replies: text: The last sentence of the Article section, Preliminary medical research, does say that noni juice may affect physical endurance. However, an objective scientist would likely conclude first that noni juice would have no effect at all, as the scientific process to arrive at a conclusion of effect on endurance performance requires accumulative evidence, resembling the evidence-based requirements for health claims on food labels. There are two preliminary studies cited in the Article indicating a possible effect on endurance. Proof based on rigorous physiological variables defining endurance requires much more evidence than provided by one study in mice and one in humans, both far too preliminary to conclude any effect exists. --Zefr (talk) 15:17, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
