message: The following link listed in the External links refers to a completely different David Webster:
* Details about the Wouter Basson trials
The David Webster discussed in this Wikipedia article was an anthropologist who died in 1989.  He was "was murdered by covert forces of the Apartheid state."
The David Webster discussed in the linked article about the Wouter Basson trials was an American lawyer who worked WITH covert forces of the Apartheid state, and who was alive in 2000 (as discussed in the link, which deals with the court cases of 2000.

Talk:Chick Corea Elektric Band

message: I bought this CD from a local shop when it was released and it was one of the very first CDs that I ever bought. I was about 20 at the time and mad on Hi-Fi component systems, and I'd recently bought a Denon DCD-700 CD player and needed something to play on it. When playing this CD a mysterious 'emphasis' light would be activated and I had absolutely no idea what it meant. I remember that the CD player's manual did not explain what emphasis was, only that CDs recorded with emphasis would activate the emphasis indicator! I continued to use the same CD player on and off for 15 years (I was moving about a lot and it spent some time shrink-wrapped - and still is!) and I haven't noticed any other CD activate the emphasis indicator.

message: The comment "(he does not play any solos on the album)" has a slight negative connotation that downgrades the contribution of Jimmy Earl to the album.

Talk:Scenario paintball

message: 11:05 11 DEC 2006 (EST)
I'm going to start working on "fleshing out" the scenario paintball article.  It's pretty short right now, doesn’t elaborate on some various details of scenarios, gives of a "milsim"ish feeling (of which the vast majority of scenario paintball isn’t about), and frankly there's a lot that could be added.  I’ll be slowly updating and rearranging the scenario paintball page piece by piece, as I get time to do so. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to send them to me via my talk page or post them in this discussion.  
One suggestion I’ll make is for the milsim aspects of paintball (military simulation) to get their own article.  It’s a part of scenario paintball yes, but only on a small part and deserves its own article.  I’m not extremely qualified to create such an article, but could start on the basic framework if needed.

:Good idea about separating milsim paintball. However, it'd just be a stub as is, so it would probably be a better idea to just wait until there's enough milsim information to have at least a couple paragraphs. ~ Maximilli, 18:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Scenarioball Updating

message: On the issue of a merger between the articles paintball tank and Scenario paintball, I do not think it'd be a good idea. This is because of one reason - scenarioball is not the only type of paintball that uses tanks. Woodsball uses tanks as well. Merging the Paintball tank article with Scenario paintball wouldn't reflect that. It'd appear that tanks, and for that matter, other mechs and vehicles, are only used in scenario paintball games, which is, of course, incorrect. That's my two cents. ~ Maximilli, 19:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cost-plus pricing

message: I don't know how widespread the phenomenon is, but here in Dallas we have "cost-plus" grocery stores.  They have "wholesale prices" marked on the groceries, and a chart showing how much they'll mark up.  The markup is huge on small purchases, and smaller on huge purchases.  The end result is that the consumer has no idea what the actual price is until they get to the register.  These stores are exclusively located in low-income urban areas with a large proportion of residents who either have no other choice (the nearest full-service grocery is typically several miles away), or don't use their own funds for the purchases (relying instead on food stamps and WIC).  I would certainly like to see some NPOV information on the subject.  --Robertb-dc (talk) 21:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Oppose - It may lead to the article on Biddestone being dominated by information regarding the football club, rather than the village. Most other towns with significant football/sports clubs seem to have a separate article, this allows for a level of detail for the sports club which you probably wouldn't want in the town's article. --User:Fatherivy 12:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Harold Shapinsky

message: A recent edit by Shapinsky added a link to the Wikipedia article on J. S. G. Boggs to the External Links section.
I removed the link because its relevance to the subject wasn't clear.  Boggs isn't mentioned in the article; he's another artist written about by Lawrence Weschler, who also wrote about the subject, but I'm not sure how that justifies a link.
If Boggs is directly relevant to the subject, then a description of that relevance could be added to the article.  Also, we should only link to Wikipedia articles using wiki-links.

Talk:Thibaw Min

message: I am concerned about the way this page had been mutilated between the original write and what I found today. I guess this is the problem with many editors and fewer writers. The article as it stood no longer made sense, had been reduced to a stub and had clearly had large chunks removed without much consideration about the coherence of the article afterwards. Accordingly, I went back in the records and reconstructed this wiki using some earlier content and I have improved the referencing for the restored portions to make their referencing adequate. I fully accept that there are parts of this wiki which still require further referencing but that does not mean those portions should be instantly remove. This is a wiki about a long dead but importantly final king of an important country, accordingly it deserves a bit of love and affection but we also do not need to be as strict as we would for a living person.

King Thibaw himself gave an account of the reasons for his overthrow in a testimonial he wrote from exile for Esoof Cheroots (a brand of Indian cigarettes) and quoted by C. L. Keeton in his book King Thebaw and the Ecological Rape of Burma:
My late father, the Royal Mindon Min, the golden-footed lord of the white elephant, master of a thousand gold umbrellas, owner of the Royal peacocks, lord of the sea and of the world, whose face was like the sun, always smoked the Esoof cheroot while meditating on his treatment of the bull-faced, earthswallowing English.

Talk:Origin theories of Christopher Columbus

message: like many pages devoted to historical controversies, this article does not read as fully in keeping with NPOV to me, and in several places veers into original research.
 
for example, sentences like "Another doubt remains to be settled: can we be sure that all of the documents cited concern the Christopher Columbus who was later to become Cristóbal Colón, admiral of the Ocean Sea in Spanish territory? The list of contemporary ambassadors and historians unanimous in the belief that Columbus was Genoese could suffice as proof, but there is something more..." sound like an argumentative essay in favor of one interpretation. I don't understand Wikipedia pages as being places where controversies get settled--that is "original research." 
Many other parts of the piece *do* honor this distinction. I am not saying, and I don't believe NPOV or No Original Research require, that all the theories be stated as equal; it's clear that one theory is much more widely-believed than all the others, and the page should reflect that. but sentences like the one I quoted, and the use of evaluative words like "dismissed" and "fanciful" in phrases like "Ferdinand dismissed the fanciful story" make it sound like this page itself is meant to be the definitive assessment of the various claims, and that isn't NPOV and sounds too much like original research. It isn't up to Wikipedia to decide whether Ferdinand's claim was "fanciful," etc. this needs more quotation from third-party sources, less evaluation from the page authors, IMHO of course.

2) There is already a table which shows villages in Malta in the Malta article. I do not see the need of such existence of a page, considering hyperlinks to detailed articles on the towns are already in the Malta page.
