Talk:Cyril Toumanoff

message: Hi Kober, I wasn't able to find much biographical information about Toumanoff but as it stands now the article is unsourced, The source that I provided which you removed only said "Born in St. Petersburg of an old Armeno-Georgian house...". I'll readd it in this context. It would nice to have a source for Georgian father/Russian mother though, regardless of the language of origin of the reference. Apparently Robert H. Hewsen has written an article about Toumanoff after his passing but I wasn't able to find it.-- Ευπάτωρ Talk!! 13:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Echoing the points of Zuroff on the earlier book, Braham is criticizing Kranzler's account as one sided and uncritically promoting the activities of Orthodox rescuers. It seems like the book got a lot of popular acclaim, but the  only review on JSTOR is from an Orthodox Jewish journal, and overall I can't see the evidence that the book was influential in mainstream academia.

replies: text: But it doesn't say that the account is one-sided, or that it uncritically promotes the activities of Orthodox rescuers, or that it isn't accurate, or that it didn't get good reviews.

Talk:John Witcher

message: I cleaned up this article somewhat and added an infobox, but have limited time. I don't have access to the West Virginia resources needed to complete it, nor the Eicher book on which this article had previously relied. Thus I don't know whether the correct page number is 577 or 767. I also saw a grave for a Frank Hereford Witcher born after the Civil War around 1872, and don't know his relation to Vincent or this John, nor this John's relation to Vincent. The Civil War divided families, especially those from this mountain region. Oddly, Vincent practiced law after the Civil War in Utah, before moving back to Virginia, and this John Witcher lived in Salt Lake City after 1891. I don't know what the Utah Commission was, although I have seen references to the involvement of several West Virginians with it. Jweaver28 (talk) 00:19, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

message: Greeting editors!
I just flew in (and are my arms tired!) and took care of the clean up needed on this article. It may not be 100% done, but hope you will agree it looks much better than before.
Before adding or re-adding any content to this article, allow me to make some big suggestions based on some past experience I have had:
1. Go visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools to get a feel for what Wikipedia is looking for in articles about schools. There are a great many things that you can research and include, but there are many things that you may passionately feel are important, and simply don't belong in an encyclopedia article. Remember, this is not your school's homepage ... it is an encyclopedia article about your school.
2. Specifically check out:  What not to include. This section outlines things that, even if you think they are important, will likely get deleted eventually, and would likely not hold up if the article gets sent to arbitration. Among the things not to include are events of short term importance like who caught a winning touchdown, this year's prom theme, how far the team made it in the basketball playoffs (unless it was like a top 4 finish or something like that), the names of coaches or teachers (unless they are otherwise notable -- and it appears you have two award winners who are), this year's spring musical, etc, etc. These are all either unencyclopedic, or are matters of short term interest.
3. Consider having this article reassessed by either the folks at WikiProject Schools, or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Louisiana. They can be reached by the big links at the top of this Talk Page. People associated with the project will assess the article, and will give suggestions for improvement. This may help more specifically guide editors as to what needs to be added and what needs to be removed.
Best of luck! LonelyBeacon (talk) 16:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Black-capped parakeet

message: Considering how so many wild parrot species suffer from the pet trade, and how parrots often don't receive adequate social and mental stimulation in captivity, I feel uncomfortable about the wording of the paragraph in the intro of this article promoting black-capped parakeets as "great companion animals." Also: there are no sources quoted.
Here's how it is now: "In aviculture, these birds are known as black capped conures. As the quietest of the conure birds they are popular as household pets. They can reproduce in captivity and can also mate with the green cheeked parakeet to produce hybrid offspring. They have large personalities and are highly social, making great companion animals."
Instead, the paragraph could mention that they are often kept in captivity as household pets without jumping to subjective opinion (that promotes something that may be harmful to many birds). The easiest way would be simply removing the 2nd and 4th sentences. What are people's thoughts? Savaging (talk) 14:33, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Go for it. I don't think that the black-capped parakeet is a particularly popular pet anyway?
