Talk:Historic Compromise

message: I find the use of the political party infobox not suitable for this article. The Historic Compromise was not a political party nor in any way similar to a political party that would justify the use of this template. It was merely an ad-hoc cooperation without any form of common organisation, programme or leadership. This case is unlike the relatively stable pre-election alliances that were usual in the 1990s and 2000s (House of Freedoms, The Olive Tree/The Union), that had at least some form of common manifesto, campaign, joint leadership and vaguely defined political alignment (either centre-left or centre-right). For the same reasons, the "Electoral results" section seems unsuitable. It suggests that the partners of the Historical Compromise had run these elections jointly while in fact they were rivals and only saw themselves forced to cooperate after the election for the supposed good of the country. The same arguments apply in my opinion to the cases of Organic Centre-left and Pentapartito where I would like to remove the infobox template as well. Ad-hoc government coalitions (or, in the case of the Historic Compromise not even a real coalition, but merely an informal agreement) should not be confused with fully-fledged electoral alliances.  Please feel invited to join the discussion. --RJFF (talk) 10:32, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The Oxford Handbook of Italian Politics  https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-italian-politics-9780199669745?cc=us&lang=en&# delimits this (and the other related time periods) as their own chapters in Italian political history. For this reason, I think that the party coalition infobox would be appropriate, especially for comparing to previous or subsequent ruling coalitions. Bergmanucsd (talk) 10:42, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I completely agree that this was a period in Italian political history. But it was not a political party or similar to one. Please note that we are talking about the political party infobox, not one about political periods. The Historic Compromise had no leaders (each of the partners, of course, had its own leader, but there was no joint leadership of the Historic Compromise), no headquarters, no common ideology, so most of the political party infobox parameters are not applicable anyway. --RJFF (talk) 10:51, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  2001 Open Victory Speech 

message: Wouldn't it be worth adding in a discussion of some of the reasons mooted by commentators for his collapse in form from 2001. I've heard everything from things like 'he lost the fire in his belly' after finally winning a major, to his having severe back problems. And what might account for his partial and patchy 'return to form' in recent years (e.g. 2nd place in U.S. Open recently)? Surely some people out there have written some high quality, well-sourced articles on his loss of form. Isn't the loss of form almost the central interesting thing, the central mystery or enigma, about this player once tipped for greatness? As such, if anyone knows of some quality articles that can be used to source it, a section specifically on how and why he lost his form is a must for this page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.34.59.134 (talk) 19:29, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

File talk:PicassoGuernica.jpg

message: The article Suffering covers the whole range of all possible sufferings. Guernica has this unique quality of depicting subtile and conspicuous mental and physical suffering in humans and animals.

message: On the Cardinals' web page, Eckstein is listed as 5'7", which matches what's on the Wikipedia page.  But, the "listed" heights in baseball are typically exaggerated.  Based on the players I've met, it seems they are consistently exaggerated by 4 inches.
Eckstein is listed at 5'7", which probably means he's really 5'3".

Talk:Rasho Nesterović

message: The article was moved one year ago without any discussion. During the last months, IPs tried to move the article twice which I interpret as a renaming request. He is known as "Radoslav" throughout the world and that's his official Given name. There is an article about him in 9 different languages, but none of them calls him "Rasho" in the title. And, even worse, in the English-speaking world noone would call him "Rasho Nesterovič" – why use the č which isn't part of the English alphabet while spelling his First name in a way no Slovene would do? So, if you kept his nickname by which he is known just in the US, then the article should consequently be moved to Rasho Nesterovic (or would Rasho Nesterovich be a more consistent transcription?). The current mixture of American and Slovene spelling does not make sense at all to me. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 11:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course we are, but the question is wether it is used more commonly than the Given name, and in case of any doubt I'd prefer the latter. If we took Saša Vujačić as an example, Rašo Nesterovič could also be a possible title. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 10:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:David Faber (politician)

message: I am not sure what his meant here by the statement in the lead section "lowing his failure to win reelection in 2001, he became an author". This seems to imply that he contested and lost his seat at the 2001 United Kingdom general election, but this is not the case. Faber certainly did not stand in Westbury in 2001 and the Conservative Party held the seat. Indeed it says later in this article that  "Faber stood down from parliament at the 2001 general election, to be succeeded by fellow Conservative Andrew Murrison". Equally from an online search I can see nothing to suggest that he was deselected or lost a contest to be the Conservative candidate. Thus the statement appears to be wrong.
