Talk:Nicholas Meyer

message: I've removed a good faith edit by an anon user. He says he saw it on a DVD commentary, and I have reason to not take him at his word. However, the section needs a lot more citation than it currently has. Specifically, the bit about the fan favorite and the crediting of Khan's success. the other stuff needs reliable citation, too.
:::Direction Style	
:::Meyer is widely regarded by Star Trek fans to be the best director used on the films, and is largely credited for the overwhelming success of Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. He insisted on a very military and action packed feel, describing it to be like "a high seas adventure." On Star Trek The Undiscovered Country, he insisted also that the corridors and sets on the Enterprise be shrunk to make it feel more cramped, military and like on a submarine. His methods have been largely succesful. He also takes great detail in directing actors in scenes and takes. During Star Trek filming, he said that he made William Shatner do takes over and over again so he would act more naturally, and less over the top.

thread_title: Removed section

message: The article as-written was so heavily focused on Star Trek that it glossed over the bulk of Meyer's career. I have rewritten and reorganized the overview and added a far more detail on the subject's career. I also removed some bits that are trivia about the Star Trek films which can be found under entries about those films but which are irrelevant to the career of Nicholas Meyer.
I need to add additional citations, but must do some research in order to do so.

Talk:Donation Land Claim Act

message: Should there be a section in this article that addresses the racial impact of this act? It ensured that white Americans (and part-White Native Americans) could homestead, but denied that privilege to African-Americans and others.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.144.208 (talk) 04:13, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: If there are reliable sources discussing the topic, then yes. I personally doubt this particular act had a big impact, and that it was the exclusion law prohibiting African-Americans in general that would have had a bigger impact. Given the DLC was only for a short time and the majority of immigrants came after it expired would tend to point to other factors, but that is my hypothesis.

message: Can anyone find a decent cite for the verdict in the second trial? As I understand it, he was aquitted of kidnapping but convicted of detainment.

replies: text: I have found newspaper articles that say he was convicted. To me, convicted means that no mistrial was declared, nor that there was aquittal. I do not know much about the aquittal process though, can someone be acquitted after they are convicted or only before? Is 'detainment' the same as kidnapping as the newspapers say?

thread_title: Acquittal

message: User:Themightyquill has tagged this article with a relevant objection "canada's version of lindh?" more than a year ago. User:Smackbot for some reason labeled it as December 2007, despite it being posted in June 2007. This is in reference to latter part of the introductory sentence:
:"is sometimes described as a traitor, Canada's version of John Walker Lindh".
This was part of the original article which was created by IP User:209.105.200.88. While the subsequent editions by pseudonym Wikipedians have been properly sourced, I do notice that this original submission was not. I am not sure if this editor has continued to edit Wikipedia under a proper name, I have left a message in hopes that they might notice and confirm this. Since it was not properly sourced, we do not have a source for the statement 'described as a traitor'. Similarly, we have no source for him being compared to John Walker Lindh. Due to the lack of sourced, and no one stating this in particular, nor being able to check the source of the original poster, I am deleting that latter part of the introductory sentence. If anyone objects to this, please post a source of that label and that comparison. I am also removing the NPOV tag since this was the only objection that themightyquill described in regards to the article's neutrality. My guess is that he did not want to remove it himself, but wait for a second editor to second his objection. I am, and am being bold in taking the initiative to remove it. I will contact quill to see if they're okay with the removal of the tag or if they want to add it back in regards to other NPOV objections. Tyciol (talk) 23:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Spelling in Canada

message: I've been trying to find the size of the river's full drainage basin with all tributaries. This would be mostly in the US, except the final bit in Canada as well as the far upstream tributary of the North Fork Flathead River. My searches have resulted in several different numbers from seemingly reliable sources. I'm unable to determine right now which one is best, so I'm posting them all here (value: source (comment)). Also note the units (sq mi and sq km) are given in the order first of the actual value cited. Listed by size given:
*: Pend Oreille River Drainage (I'm nearly positive this does not include the Canadian portions)
*: The Rivers, Balance of Power: Hydroelectric Development in Southeastern British Columbia (Although size in km2 is given first (as 62,678 km2), the parenthetical size of 24,000 sq mi is identical to the value given by the first source here (Pend Oreille River Drainage), which does not seem to take Canada into account. The rounded sq mi figure of 24,000 compared to the precise sq km figure suggests they took the imnh.isu.edu figure and converted it)
*: Seven Mile Project Water use Plan, BC Hydro (Clearly takes the lower Canadian portion into account and is the only source listed here that actually mentions the Flathead River. Gives the Canadian portion as "less than . I think this may be the one to use)
*: Water Quality Assessment of Pend d'Oreille River at Waneta, Ministry of Environment, Canada (Not clear about the BC Flathead River portion, and oddly slightly different from the previous value given by BC Hydro. Gives breakdown by country as US: , Canada: . BC Hydro gives a much larger figure for the Canadian portion, suggesting it does take the Flathead River into account, yet its total basin size is smaller!)
*"about" : Focus on Pend Oreille Watershed, Washington State Department of Ecology (Appears to take into account at least the final Canadian portion, but unclear whether the Flathead River portion is included. Also "about 26,000" is lacking in precision, suggesting it was rounded to thousands of sq miles)
Having typed all that up, I got a better sense of it and am going to go with the BC Hydro figure. Let this talk page serve as why that source was chosen. Pfly (talk) 03:26, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Nicholas Winterton

message: I made an edit to the expense story only to found it reverted. I hope this new attempt is more appeasing Nev1. The only remotely controversial part I would guess is that you may argue that the story doesn't warrant it's own sub-section. With the level of public interest in expenses at the moment (cf. notability) and the Times headline "Expenses row: Tory reveals all", BBC headline "Wintertons broke expenses rules" and the citation itself from the Telegraph, I would disagree.

Having known him personally, I would agree with the first, but I am not so sure about the second. It seems he might have had a wide humanistic culture.

Talk:John Day River

message: Hello Wikipedia users,
I just removed the following passage from this article:
"The practice of a federal agency requiring person to obtain and pay for a permit to navigate the river is seriously called into questioned by the Oregon Admission Act of 1859, which specifically states, "... said rivers and waters, and all the navigable waters of said State, shall be common highways and forever free, as well as to the inhabitants of said State as to all other citizens of the United States, without any tax, duty, impost, or toll therefor." This is not only a federal statute, but is also codified as a state statute [11 Stat. 383 (1859)], and is a term and condition of statehood."
First of all, it's off-topic.  Second, it's OR (a user's legal theory about use permits, not citing any precedent or case).  Third, it's non-grammatical ("seriously called into questioned").  Since this passage does nothing but distract from the subject of the article (the John Day River) I've taken it out.  Note that this deletes the citation of the Oregon articles of statehood...not that it was a relevant citation anyway.WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:49, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
