thread_title:  How painful? 

message: There's no shortage of factual information out there about this and other torture methods, so shouldn't be a problem to source an article like this properly using decent reliable sources and avoiding a patronizing tone of bias. And with all the quality sources available out there, there's just no excuse for using blog entries as source material. Laval (talk) 03:15, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The blog entries appear to have been removed. I've been looking hard and I'd argue there is, in fact, a shortage of academic sources on this topic. If you have found some, it would be helpful if you could post them here. I've removed the tags because I've altered most of the lede paragraph to reflect the thoroughly sourced UN Istanbul Protocol [] which describes: A) the need to check for nail removal in alleged torture victims, B) "When the nail matrix is burnt, subsequent growth produces striped, thin, deformed nails, sometimes broken up in longitudinal segments. If a nail has been pulled off, an overgrowth of tissue may be produced from the proximal nail fold, resulting in the formation of pterygium," and C) the practice of inserting wire or other objects underneath the nail bed. I couldn't find anything about the efficacy of nail torture, in fact most sources seem to suggest that (like most forms of torture) it doesn't tend to produce useful information. There are some good sources describing its modern use (or the threat of it) in the context of the War on Terror (a bit ironic if you think about it). This article could still be improved - somebody was a little too m-dash happy, IMO. Also, I'd like to propose moving this article to De-nailing or Nail removal, as those seem to be the terms most frequently used by the sources. <> Alt lys er svunnet hen (talk) 04:50, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Salvatore D'Aquila

message: The sources listed on this page show two different years of birth for Toto, 1873 and 1878.  Additionally, I found an alternative source not listed here that shows his year of birth as being 1877.  His tombstone has the year 1878 engraved on it.  Unless a more definitive source can be located I would offer that his tombstone offers the most (and my apologies for this) concrete evidence of his birth year.  Hammersbach (talk) 15:14, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: , in my experience birth years on tombstones are often wrong and are unreliable for determining birth if there's a conflict of dates. The 2014 Warner article used for the November 7, 1873 birth cites the index of the Palermo birth records for the birth date. Footnote #131 of that article uses D'Aquila's 1918 WWI draft card and his 1912 marriage record for citations of D'Aquila's addresses in those years. The earlier marriage record lists his age as 35 or an 1877 birth while the later draft registration lists his birthdate as November 9, 1873. I also looked up his death certificate which lists his age as 52 or an 1875 birth if he was born in November. The Palermo birth index citation date used by Warner and his fellow authors would probably be the best to use, since it would be closest to his birth.   Libertybison (talk) 00:04, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Year of birth?

message: I just removed a photograph of mafia gangster Saverio "Sam" Pollaccia that was incorrectly identified as D'Aquila. It is a cropped image from a photo of Pollaccia on page 212 of The Origin of Organized Crime in America by David Critchley (2009). The caption clearly identifies him as Pollaccia. Unfortunately, the Google Books page of the book won't show photographs from the book, so if you don't have a physical copy of the book you will not be able to see the photograph. But I found another photograph of Pollaccia, on this article webpage here. This webpage says this other photo of Pollaccia comes from a 1924 edition of the Chicago Tribune. A comparison of the two photos look like it's the same man, although the 1924 photo of Pollaccia in a courtroom doesn't have him wearing a hat. Libertybison (talk) 21:26, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Bar Professional Training Course

message: Entry requirements for the course are listed as 2.1 or a 1st with a GDL. This is wrong as it's 2.2 for both LLB and GDL, and the citation backs this up. Obviously, this makes the article incredibly misleading and could misinform people desperate for information to inform their career paths. It must therefore be amended immediately.

text: Firstly, read WP:SEEALSO, if something is already linked in the article it shouldn't be in the see also section. Also while UoL does have campuses in those cities according to Bar Standards Board not all of their campuses run the course. It's factually innaccurate to keep those in.  Also there are tonnes of sources detailing the low percentage of BPTC students who get pupillages, why are you saying it isn't true and makes no sense?

Talk:Netroots Nation

message: Hi, I came here by a rather odd route (through WP:CCI) and I was dismayed to find an article that sounds just a little too positive. A sentence like "Through its annual convention and a series of regional salons held throughout the year, they strengthen their community, inspire action and serve as an incubator for ideas that challenge the status quo and ultimately affect change in the public sphere" is so positive that I almost want to mark it POV. The description of Bloggerpower.org as "a non-profit non-partisan organization" is probably technically correct but seems to be rather generous given the overtly progressive nature of Netroots Nation. Again I don't quite want to mark it POV, but I do think it's unencyclopedic. As a consequence of this, I've put a  template on the article. Would someone be willing to revise the article so that it sounds a little more, well, stuffy? Ozob (talk) 06:57, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act

message: Perils of the debt-propelled economy from economist Henry Liu.
There is a circular link among deregulation, debt, overcapacity and bankruptcy. Deregulation has created a havoc of bankruptcy in the airline, health-care, communication, energy and finance sectors. Derulation permits predatory pricing in the name of competition, which often leads to monopolistic consolidation within industries. The surviving giants then take on massive debt to acquire vanquished competitors and to expand capacity in anticipation of increased demand and soon reach a point where increased sales do not increase net revenue to offset low margin. Once a company is trapped in the whirlpool of debt, a downward spiral of low prices and shrinking revenue will push the cost of debt beyond sustainability, leading to bankruptcy. This is known as the bursting of the debt bubble.
In March 1980, the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act (DIDMCA) was enacted in the United States. It was a deregulation initiative by the administration of president Jimmy Carter aimed at eliminating many of the distinctions among different types of depository institutions and ultimately removing interest rate ceiling on deposit accounts. Authority for federal savings and loan associations to make risky ADC (acquisition, development, construction) loans was expanded, which ended up with the savings and loan (S&L) crisis five years later. Deregulation of airlines also began under Carter, leading to recurring waves of bankruptcy.
