Talk:Community service

message: Community service IS sometimes the same of volunteering. Some people do use the terms interchangeably. Whether I would or you would is irrelevant: people do it. When you see a description of a fraternal organization doing community service, what's meant is volunteering, not mandated service. For that matter, when you see a description of such an organization doing public service, it's meant as volunteering, rather than the strict definition that's on the Wikipedia page for public service. Look in news articles, articles about volunteering, discussion groups for managers of volunteers, etc. - you will often see people making the distinction between volunteering and community service, while you will see others equating the two.

thread_title: Yes it CAN be volunteering

message: Hello Wikipedians, 
My team and I will be working on expanding the "Personal benefits of serving" section, "Court ordered service" section, and the "Religious reasons for serving" section (for now). We're working on this article for an assignment, and I'd appreciate some feedback on our changes. We'll be adding more context or pieces of information that were missing. For example, the "Religious reasons for serving" doesn't really cover any other religion besides Christianity. That doesn't really offer a "worldwide" view when only one religion was covered. 
Some information we'll be adding (not in-depth):
1). More context on how court-ordered community service looks
2). Religious reasons for completing community service 
3). Other benefits or reasons for doing community service while remaining neutral. 
The list will continue, but this is what we have so far. I'll be linking the changes to this comment once they're made. Soldswons (talk) 00:03, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

message: I believe the section titled 'Scandal' fails the second part of Wikipedia:Reliable sources and undue weight. This is an incident covering three months in 2021 in a history section that is supposed to summarise 759 years of the College.

Talk:Extensive farming

message: For some strange reason the article seems overly focused on Australia and on the Murray-Darling Basin.  This article should be made more universally relevant.  It should also be renamed to Extensive Agriculture, and the agricultural elements of the issue should be brought to the fore.  Herding and animal husbandry are less relevant to the study of extensive agriculture than are questions of yield, inputs, fallowing, etc., all of which are part of a trajectory between intensive agriculture (the effort to obtain higher yield per unit of land by increasing inputs such as labor, fertilizer, capital improvements) and extensive agriculture (in which the individual productive unit may expand landholding to increase yield per unit of labor, more or less).

message: i removed this passage:Unlike intensive farming, which must use chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and pesticides to produce a large proportion of crop per unit area to cover the costs of high property value, extensive farming is practised on low-cost land and therefore does not require high maintenance such as chemical stimulants.
extensive farming is not identical with organics, but a rather vague term for agriculture on big surfaces of low productivity. that does not mean that there are no chemical inputs, even though they might be lower than in intensive farming.trueblood 12:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Abortion

message: I broke up the section on media and advocacy and moved the racial commentary under its own header.  Is this an improvement?
Revised: "Keyes has repeatedly spoken in themes of race and racism, often accusing others of racism."  This is a silly exaggeration.  (Jesse Jackson, et al, would give Keyes a run for the money in the racism-accusing department.) 
Following that statement were examples of the alleged accusations of racism.  The accusations regarding media racism were easily verified, sourced, and corrected.  The paragraph below no so: 
*In 1987 Keyes reportedly accused Deputy Secretary of State John C. Whitehead of racially insulting him and then quit his post there. Media reports also claimed Keyes accused the Republican National Committee of racism in 1992 when the GOP did not give him a prime speaking spot at the Republican National Convention (the RNC later gave him 2 speaking spots). Keyes would apparently again accuse the GOP of racism when they pulled their support for his trailing candidacy for the Senate in Maryland.   
Unless the above can be verified and sourced, it likely falls under the exaggeration category typical of this page, and deserves the axe (or at least more tweaking).  The words reportedly, claimed, and apparently were added by me to give some balance to the unproven statements.  There is always another side to the story.  That is missing from this paragraph (and from much of this page, for that matter).
I have spent the day cleaning up this page from its slew of inaccuracies, wrong dates, quotes used without context, positions on issues actually reversed, and editorializing. I would like to see the important facts surrounding this public figure expanded, and the irrelevancies and obvious pot-shots reduced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.41.173.145 (talk) 09:36, 22 June 2005 (UTC)
