Talk:Ombudsman against Discrimination on Grounds of Sexual Orientation (Sweden)

message: This article was turned into a redirect to Gay rights in Sweden without prior discussion. Most of the content was pasted into that article. While gay rights certainly is the main subject of interest for HomO, I find the restructuring somewhat problematic for several reasons. One is that it could be argued that HomO's area of responsibility is somewhat bigger than simply "gay rights". Another is that HomO is a government agency and some information about its structure, administration, and budget seems out of place in a "Gay rights" article. Also, placing Gay rights in Sweden in :Category:Swedish government agencies is outright wrong and simply confusing. Upholding the difference between the office/agency and the rights they supervise will make categorizing much easier. Alarm 22:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't believe this article needs to be updated, as its reliance on 19th century sources is legitimate, as its subject is ancient Greek philosophy.

thread_title:  Updated overview 

message: Would some members of this WikiProject mind taking a look this article? It underwent a major expansion recently and lots of the content seems too detailed and perhaps a bit :WP:UNDUE. There are various formatting and syntax errors as well as well as quite a bit of :WP:Namechecking, but it's the overall tone and excessive amount of sections (some which seem redundant (like "Prestige" and "Awards") or not really warranting such detail (like "Website redesign") that makes the article (at least in my opinion) a bit promotional in nature. Someone obviously put some time into expanding the article, but perhaps they tried to add too much. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:30, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Quiet Revolution

message: Originally, the second paragraph of the Secularization section said, “[e]fforts at modernization were held back by the conservative views of politicians and the Catholic Church's position on education.” I removed that part, because it is an editorial statement. (It is doubtful that the conservative views of politicians had much influence over the level of economic growth, and the Catholic Church’s insistence on parrochial schools did not necessarily mean that the quality of the education was bad. Such statements would have to be proven.) I don’t think anyone doubts that economic growth in Quebec was relatively slow in the postwar period, but we would need a citation, and the causes are almost certainly more complex than the paragraph originally suggested.
To fix the paragraph properly, we would need to find an economic study on Quebec in the postwar period, and then citations from serious historians or economists as regards the causes of this lack of growh. If we find a scholarly work that reasonably argues that either the policies of the Union National government or the educational practices of the Church contributed to this lack of growth, we can cite it here, but my intuition is that the causes are actually broader than that.

Talk:Ernie Els

message: I assume the amounts in the board are expressed in US dollars, right?  This needs to be made clearer (it doesn't suffice to mark "$" in there, since in many countries there's no automatic association with US currency).  Furthermore, I wonder about the accuracy of those numbers.  As the very article states, Els plays all over the world, which means that he gets paid in several different currencies.   Converting all those into one single total, expressed in one single currency is not that simple (in fact, top players regularly complain about it).  Is there a trustworthy source behind those numbers (the PGA? Els's official website?).  In order to avoid this type of doubt, it would be better to quote the origin of the figures.  Regards, Redux 00:52, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a wikilink to the US dollar article, but I think the number of people who would be in doubt about which type of dollar is meant when winning figures are quoted for a US based tour would be rather small.

thread_title:  Wine 

message: I haven't attempted to edit a wiki before and am not doing so now, but reading the Wikipedia article on Ernie Els yielded an isolated statement in the Background section that Ernie was a 'self-proclaimed avid cocaine user'. This potentially libelous statement was unsubstantiated in the rest of the article and a google search came up empty. I find it hard to believe that Ernie is big into coke. In any case, it needs to be substantiated beyond what the article offers.

Talk:Floor numbering

message: So, what's the US convention on "Lower-ground floor" (LG)?  In the UK, this is where there is something useful below the ground floor, e.g. an office lobby, a shopping area below ground level, etc.  In many cases, there is a "basement" level below this.
*I don't always pay much attention to this, but I think the U.S. analogue is "Lower level" (LL)--Pharos 20:22, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This numbering (from 1, with the ground level usually being 2) seems to be common practice at universities, including in Australia (where we generally follow UK practice of G,1,2,3...).  I imagine it's because the first digit of room numbers at universities tells you which floor the room is on. FiggyBee 23:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I highly disagree with the assertion that the American convention is always to label the bottom floor as '1' rather than 'G'.

Template talk:Incomplete list

replies: text: User:Lulusword: I just tried viewing an article using the template with the "mobile view" link at the bottom of each Wikipedia page and it displayed properly. I would have thought that I could view the issue that way; I don't see why it would be any different to actually using a mobile computer-phone.

thread_title:  Mobile version 

message: When the whole page is an incomplete list, where should this template be placed? It doesn't look correct when placed as a top tag because it's always small, and small ambox is expected to be seen under a heading. Maybe it should be changed to only default to small ambox but to allow full size too for top-tagging. I've seen it placed at the bottom of standalone lists (one recently) for this reason, which is obviously wrong and non-helpful. —Alalch E. 22:04, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

message: In the lede it's Loretta Szwed, in the infobox it's Loretta Jane Swit. Herostratus (talk) 04:42, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Crickets, so let's see. The sources saying "Szwed" are either Wikipedia mirrors or unreliable. However, unreliable or not, the ones that seem to not be mirrors do say Szwed. They must be getting their info from somewhere. (they may still be getting their info from us and just rewriting it tho). So who knows. BUT, according to the article, her parents were "Lester and Nellie Szwed". If that's true, I would guess -- guess -- that it's unusual for a baby's surname at birth to be anglicized when the parents haven't done that. So I'm going to assume that it's "Szwed". I mean, we have do decide/guess something as it's no good to have two different birth names given in the article. Thus I changed to infobox and kept the lede.
