thread_title:  Married to Meghan O'Rourke? 

message: This article is written as if it is a promotional biography describing the journey of a very smart boy who won a spelling championship and then went on to become a writer for big magazines. Details such as the subject's junior high school, no matter how fancy some may think it to be, seem entirely irrelevant. The biography section was also written to make it appear as if the subject has a PhD, but the subject's own CV reveals that's not true: https://english.yale.edu/sites/default/files/surowiecki_james_-_cv19.pdf. --KellisCorn (talk) 15:44, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links 

message: The term dirty talk contains negative anti-sex POV, in the same way as terms like nasty, filthy, lewd, bad do when applied to sexual matters. These terms are correctly identified as dysphemisms although some choose to use them as euphemisms to repress more objective expression. I contend that English speakers are free to choose between objective and dysphemistic expressions, and though use of the latter may be (regrettably) embedded in some people's POV, they are not necessarily "imbedded[sic] in the English language" as Simon Speed has commented above under Painting Cuddlyable3 08:31, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Euphemism / dysphemism 

message: The title "dirty talk" is an appalling title for this article: in other languages, this subject is called by names like "love talk". Moving to erotic talk, a synonym which is in common use. -- The Anome (talk) 12:01, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

message: While the French language link leads to something like a translation of the English page, the Japanese link goes to ワイ談 page, which means "sex topic", "erotic topic" (for example bros trading sex stories).

Talk:Roll Call

message: Is this an encyclopedia article or a PR piece? Unreferenced opinions like "If you need to know Congress, you need Roll Call," cherry-picked quotations from readers, and section headings like "The Roll Call story" make it read like the latter. There are no references given that aren't affiliated with the company and this casts doubt on the credibility of anything in the article. Please rewrite the article with material from independent sources. Sources affiliated with the company should only be used to provide pertinent facts and not as evidence of notability or the merits of the newspaper.--RDBury (talk) 01:01, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

If the 2011 law had simply been repealed, then Summer Time would still apply part of the year, which doesn't seem to have happened.

message: Rgvis,
it has nothing to do with general acceptance, it is a regular issue in which the terms are clear, what you tried to suggest with your sources, is fairly represented in the article (occupational admnistration takeover), however sovereignity did not change, it was suggested it should return to Romania but has to be confirmed by the peace treaties (1947). Indeed the article you linked there is sourced when the Hungary signed - 20 January 1945 - that they withdraw from those territories.(KIENGIR (talk) 21:09, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: For now, I will not continue to dispute the date, but the discussion remains open, as long as the argument with the Armistice from January 1945 does not bring any new aspect to the issue (the text does nothing but confirm what has already been established in September 1944). So far, the article does not refer to any source that explicitly indicates that period as 1940-1945. (Rgvis (talk) 10:17, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No, in 1944 the provisions were set to be decided in the peace treaties, while in 1945 Hungary signed to retreat behind the 1937 borders and also removing such laws from her legislation which would conclude the opposite.(KIENGIR (talk) 00:07, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

text: For this situation, the main statement of the September 1944 Armistice is as follows: "The Allied Governments regard the decision of the Vienna award regarding Transylvania as null and void"; that is why all referenced sources interpret that Hungary held Northern Transylvania until 1944 (and not 1945). I will wait for sources regarding your interpretation. (Rgvis (talk) 19:14, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The Allied Govenrments had no authority to make decision over a sovereign state's territory, especially what they regard or do not regard is not decisive regarding this question (especially, when the state was not involved).

TL;DR This article should at least mention that the topic is now considered scientifically to be bullshit.
