message: I'm on Holıday ın Turkey as I type thıs, but couldn't help myself from checkıng wıkıpedıa whıle I was checkıng my emaıls. I just wanted to say I'm lıkıng the evolutıon (see what I did there?) of thıs artıcle at the moment. The idea of splitting the criticism section up into relevant segments seems good to me. I shall contribute more to the article when İ come back from holiday, but for now İ just wanted to say well done, and İ'm sure you will be hearing from me soon ;) Aaarrrggh 12:59, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Category talk:Philosophers by continent

message: The concept of continents leave outisde islands, archipelagos and so on, where philosophical thinking can grow as well. The current definition affects, for example, the categorization of Category:Caribbean philosophers, which in the present moment is a subcategory of North America philosophers, an absurdity. In portuguese wikipedia we applied a bigger concept of philosophers by region of the world, which can be better approximated to such kind of spatialities.

Talk:Harold Ford Sr.

message: I would surely like to see a reference for the ballot box story.  I know one part of it as is currently in the article is erroneous, the Shelby County Election Commission was never all, or even predominantly, Republicans, in 1974 or now; Tennessee law requires a majority on each county election commission to be members of the legislature's majority party, which from then until now has been Democratic.  (Until the election of the first Republican governor in a half century in 1970, they were required to be members of the governor's party.)  I would like to see evidence of this, such as a citiation to a newspaper article or some other reference.  Rlquall 02:44, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: :No Tennessee election commission is or ever has been all-Republican.  Until 1971, the law declared that there would be three members from the majority party and two from the minority party, with the party of the governor being the "majority", which worked well from a Democratic standpoint, as all governors elected between 1922 and 1970 were Democrats.  In 1970, Republican Winfield Dunn was elected governor, but a Democratic majority was returned to the General Assembly.  Almost immediately upon its being convened in 1971, it voted to redefine "majority" as being the party with a majority of both houses of the General Assembly combined.  This has been a Democratic majority until the present.  Thusly, there has never been an all-Republican, or even Republican-majority, election commission in Tennessee.  What the Shelby County Election Commission may have been at the time is all-white; i'm not really sure of its racial makeup at the time.  I'm correcting this, but will admit that it is possible that one or more white Democrats of the era might well have preferred a Congressman of a different party but the same race to one of the same party but a differnt race; however that's a diffent matter than the erroneous story given here up till now.

Talk:Centering diphthong

message: This article should be renamed to centring diphthong, because the majority of non-rhotic dialects use these diphthongs. Non-rhotic dialects are: southern England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and New England. And the majority of these dialects use BE spelling. -- Mark 03:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Boston accent also uses centering diphthongs and they use American spelling. So, I vote to stick with centering diphthong. Centering diphthongs can also exist in rhotic accents though, for example, many Northeastern U.S. accents have /e@/ in fast, can't, dance, mad etc. in contrast to the /{/ in lad, cat etc.
But they (Bostonians) are the minority not the majority as I stated above and so this article should be renamed. They (NE US) are also the minority, if in fact they actually use any centring diphthongs. Also please sign your name. -- Mark 03:47, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
