Talk:California Penal Code

message: The heading on this page refers to section 211 as "armed robbery." Shouldn't it just be "robbery?"
:You're probably right.  The section says "force and fear," which implies that it can be robbery by mere threats, such as the old trick of using a finger or candy bar.  --Coolcaesar 08:25, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Famous code numbers

message: Shouldn't this little editorial be placed in an article about the Three Strikes Law?  If that.  The category of "most controversial section" does not seem appropriate here.  Moreover, many of the sections are in some way "controversial."  By what measure do you determine that section 666 is the "most controversial"?
:Its constitutionality was reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court and it has been the subject of multiple voter initiatives. You can't get much more controversial than that.  In contrast, I haven't seen the Court reviewing the constitutionality of most other parts of the Penal Code lately.  --Coolcaesar 19:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Thin section

message: For the medical use of thin sections, see histology, which includes a detailed description of the preparation of tissue thin sections using a microtome. How widespread is the use of the actual words "thin section" in medicine? It is the commonly used term in mineralogy. Are there any doctors in the house? Jon 12:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: IMHO, red links are not problem. It just tells to reader that these articles are not yet written but links which direct reader to wrong place are serious problem. Such links are one of the biggest weaknesses of wikipedia and makes me sometimes quite angry. For example, I write an article to Estonian wikipedia and want to make an interwiki links but there are only silly redirect page here which directs to totally different term. Red links are slowly disappearing because new articles are written every day but if we follow policy that we don't make red links, it means that new articles won't be found and improved after they are created because nothing links to them. Let's say that reader wants to know what is "optical mineralogy". So he or she clicks the link and reads about mineralogy which won't answer the question. It means that such link is useless and should be either removed or replaced with link to article about optical mineralogy, although it's not yet written. Maybe someone who knows that field very well will notice that red link and will write something. Siim 14:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gold Coast

message: The African Gold Coast wasn't just the name of the British colony. Among Portuguese and Dutch traders it was known by that name before it was a Britisch colony, because of the rich gold trade there. Also, I suspect that many of the current 'Gold Coasts' (though maybe not all) got their name from the African region, which had a widespread reputation. I propose moving Gold Coast (British colony) back to Gold Coast and moving the disambiguation page which is currently at Gold Coast to Gold Coast (disambiguation). — mark ✎ 12:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I came along planning to disambiguate the links to Gold Coast, but quickly noticed that virtually all the articles that link to Gold Coast (around 200 of them) actually want Gold Coast, Queensland.

Therefore I propose to rename this article "Gold Coast (disambiguation)" and to redirect "Gold Coast" to "Gold Coast, Queensland". Colonies Chris (talk) 14:29, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed move (revisited) 

message: The colony history of Gold Coast begin i 1821, with the English colony. Before that, we must call the precolonial time of the Gold Coast. The different european traders cooperated with the local people, payed some tributes, were allowed to stay and build their forts. It is therefore not historical correct to talk about a Danish, German, Dutch, Swedish or Portuguese colony. It is wrong. --62.101.248.112 (talk) 21:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Gold Coast (British colony)

message: In West-Africa, Gold Coast wasn't just the name of the British colony. Among Portuguese and Dutch traders the region was known by that name before it was a Britisch colony, because of the rich gold trade there. Also, I suspect that many of the current 'Gold Coasts' (though maybe not all) got their name from the African region, which had a widespread reputation. I propose moving this back to Gold Coast and moving the disambiguation page which is currently at Gold Coast to Gold Coast (disambiguation). — mark ✎ 12:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting idea, but I think I disagree. The number of "Gold Coast"s around the world that have no obvious direct correlation to this colony is pretty big and if we did as you said, we'd have to have a long italics note at the top for people seeking those places, saying This is about the west African colony; for the Queensland city, see ..., for the Florida city, see... for the Long Island, USA, area see ...  etc. etc. etc. - DavidWBrooks 13:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The note wouldn't have to be long at all; how about This is about the region in West-Africa; for other uses of Gold Coast, see Gold Coast (disambiguation)? Anyway, the West-African region may or may not be the best known Gold Coast, it isn't just a colony so the current name is wrong in any case. Maybe Gold Coast (West-African region) is an improvement. — mark ✎ 15:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ah. Just to make sure I understand, you say that even back in colonial times, "Gold Coast" was a name used for areas other than those controlled by the British, so this article heading is misleading, or needs to be linked from an article about the whole Gold Coast region? - DavidWBrooks 16:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The article Portuguese Gold Coast that seems to fit that area, although it's very stubby. Perhaps you could expand it? Note that *this* article is about only the British colony, not the area's history before or since then. - DavidWBrooks 22:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Contradictory information 

message: There are numerous references to "Ghana" and "Ghanaians" in the context of events prior to independence. While there was a medieval Ghana, the relationship to the colony is loose.

Talk:Security dilemma

message: To honor the refinement of this stub I propose the following overview.  I'm also working on a sourced history including Thucydides, Hume, Waltz, Jervis and others. The spiral concept can be included in the body.  It may confuse a reader who is not introduced to the basic concept of the dilemma as such:
The Security Dilemma asserts that both strength and weakness in national security can be provocative to other nations.  If a nation is too strong, this can be provocative since “most means of self-protection simultaneously menace others” (Jervis, p 63).   On the other hand, if a nation is too weak, “great dangers arise if an aggressor believes that the status quo powers are weak in capability or resolve" (Jervis, p 58).  Thus, directly and indirectly, both strength and weakness can upset the balance of security in international relations.

thread_title:  Intro Re-Write 

message: A response to IP 46.208.68.242 
Good point in the notes of the edit page.  Yet, by deleting the intro paragraph from February 2011 (see note above), we are losing an important insight by Jervis into the essence of the dilemma.  While the security dilemma may be used today to discuss miscommunications, a dilemma by definition is “a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones.”  Jervis does indeed indicate—as a seminal author of the original meaning—that being too strong or being too weak both present problems—thus the dilemma.  Authors could evolve the meaning of the dilemma to be choices between “too strong” and “just right” but that is not how Jervis lays out the dilemma.  I recommend returning his concept to the introduction as spiral theory only captures one (popular and important) aspect of the dilemma as described by Jervis in his own words.  I’ll wait for comment before reverting back to the quotes from Jervis.--pjm (talk) 04:43, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: (First comment)

message: Research indicates that the original name of this article "Stalag Luft VII-A" was in error. The VII-A would indicate an army operated  camp located in northern Germany in Germany Army District (Wehrkreis) VII.
This camp was located in Silesia (Schlesien) which was Wehrkreis VIII.
However Stalag Luft were operated by the Air Force (Luftwaffe), not the army, and were given simple numbers, such as the famous Stalag Luft 3. There has been confusion between roman and ordinary numbers. The Luftwaffe used ordinary numbers 1, 2, 3 etc, rather than I, II, III.., but there is confusion in the literature.
This camp was actually called Stalag Luft 7.
