message: Should the title read BOY Scouting in the USA, to differentiate between lists of BSA regions and councils and GSUSA councils? (signed User:JohnDBuell).
No, we've intentionally made it gender-neutral as several have expressed that as we will be including earlier nonBSA movements, that Girl Scout local articles should somehow be tucked into these state articles. No idea how to visualize this done, but as yet there are no local Girl Scout articles. Chris 21:43, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This article, as it is now, is mostly just a listing of the councils and districts in Michigan, while only a small minority of it is actually about "scouting in michigan". Might it be better to move the list to a separate article ("List of BSA Councils in Michigan" or something)? Another alternative could be to just list the councils, and leave the districts and most of the council information for their own articles.

message: Does anyone else agree that there is too much unsourced text in the article? Also, surely the middle paragraph in the Bootle by-election section is surplus to requirements and should at the very least be shortened: after all, the feature is supposed to be about the "continuing SDP", not about disputes between Labour and the Monster Raving Loonies. Finally, regarding the right hand box: the notion that the original SDP had a "centre left" ideology is questionable in itself, but the suggestion that the continuing SDP was also centre left really does stretch things a bit far. Many of its members went off to join the Tories in 1992, and their leader endorsed a vote for the Conservative Party in that year's general election. In fact, the reason for the Owenites' refusal to merge with the Liberals was precisely because they regarded them as too left wing. Multiculturalist (talk) 09:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Slavery 

message: Baseball is the only sport held to be exempt from the anti-trust laws.  Football, hockey, etc., are not.  This needs clarifying and correcting in the article.
The article also reflects a misunderstanding of how the reserve clause operated.  Typically, the player signed a one-year contract.  Under the contract, the team "reserved" the right to require the player to play for one additional year, at a salary equal to not less than 90% nor more than 125% of the previous year's salary.  With this sort of provision in place, most players signed another contract for the next year, which, of course, also contained a reserve clause, so, in that sense, the contract went on forever.
Messersmith, et al., however, decided NOT to sign a contract for the next year.  They merely played another year, pursuant to the terms of the old contract.  When that additional year expired, they contended that they were free.  The matter was submitted to binding arbitration, and the neutral arbitrator ruled in their favor.  In my mind, that was always the proper construction of the reserve clause, but no player, to my knowledge, had ever approached it in that manner.

thread_title:  PD 

message: The date (1977) and reason for the film falling into the PD is explained here. It is an Internet forum post by "Bob Furmanek" whose name can be found frequently on Wikipedia. Furmanek claims personal knowledge of the film history. He says: 
:Africa fell into the public domain because the rights were purchased in the early 1950's by an independent distributor in New York (Robert Haggiag) and he became quite wealthy from his other film interests. He failed to renew the copyright in 1977 because he had no interest in the film. When I tracked him down in the late eighties, the original nitrate elements had been un-touched since 1953, and most of the original camera negative was decomposed. I was able to transfer the fine grain to video, and I personally paid to have a 35mm safety dupe negative made from the nitrate fine grain. The film is now preserved on 35mm.
Although a forum post on hometheaterforum.com is considered a self-published source (WP:SPS), "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." Furmanek is an established expert about the film's history because he obtained the original and had it transferred to a new medium.  Furmanek is also the author of Abbott and Costello in Hollywood (1991, Perigee Trade) further establishing his credentials and reliability. As such I believe this source is reliable-enough for this to be included in Wikipedia.  -- GreenC 14:22, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

as I could not find any of this information on the US Copyright Office web site.  If someone could post a link to prove this I will reinsert the information, but the dozens of legal domestic releases on VHS and DVD from multiple companies clearly shows that this film is public domain material.
