Talk:Queen's Pawn Game

message: A reference was asked for "In the 19th century and early 20th century, 1.e4 was by far the most common opening move by White".  I added one to Watson, pg 87; I hope it is good enough.  He says: (1) the majority of top players use 1.e4 more often than not, and (2) 1. e4 e5 dominated for many years, but he doesn't say which years.  Somewhere I've seen what would be a better reference, but I can't remember where.  Bubba73 (talk), 02:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Koreans in the Arab world

message: Like most ethnic group, Korean doesn't have a plural in English dictionary. In Merriam Webster, Korean, is defined as native of Korea. There's no entry of Koreans. Likewise, there's no plural of Indian(s), Chinese (Chineses) Japanese(Japaneses) etc. Therefore, to move Koreans in the Arab world to Korean in the Arab world, which is more grammatically safe and ethnically acceptable, shouldn't cost much or hurt anybody's feeling, I hope.

Talk:Mike Teague

message: There are a number of examples of POV and unencyclopedic style of prose in this article. They have been fixed a couple of times but these changes have been reverted by (I suspect) well-intentioned editors who are unaware of Wikipedia guidelines and practices. Therefore, for future reference, here are some examples of POV/unencyclopedic language which I am changing:
* "Teague had drifted out of the picture for England until storming back" - "storming" is an emotive word and is not suitable for Wikipedia in this contect.
* "...back into Lions contention as an ever-present for his country in 1988-89" - this sentence makes little sense as the first half relates to the Lions (a multi-nation team) and the second half refers to his place on the England team. Needs rewording, but I can't as I don't know exactly what is meant.  
* "The Lions won the series with two victories built on the platform of a hard-nosed forward effort that had the West Countryman at its heart." - "hard-nosed" is a little POV/overly colourful and "had the West Countryman at its heart" is not acceptable without reliable sources backing this view up.
* "He shored up the lineout and set a barn-storming example for his team-mates to follow" - "barnstorming" is far too colourful and subjective a term for Wikipedia.
* "His pub is a shrine to Gloucester and his own rugby achievements" - says who? A reliable source is required. And the use of the word "shrine" is again far too colourful for Wikipedia.
* "programmes, jerseys, boots and balls jostle for space with faded photographs of Gloucester teams dating back to the 1800s" - "jostle" and "faded photos" are decidedly colourful/poetic - again not suitable for Wikipedia.
Also, section headings should only have their first word and any subsequent proper nouns capitalised - all other words should begin with the lower case. Therefore the "Club Career" section needs to be renamed as the "Club career" section. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(capital_letters)#Section_headings for details.

Talk:Voluntourism

message: --CopyToWiktionaryBot 02:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  2007-04-23 Automated pywikipediabot message 

message: I removed the following text, as it was not written in the formal tone one would expect from an enyclopedia.  Perhaps it could be rewritten into something encylopedic:
"Why should I pay to spend time vacation time working?
Good question! You are not paying to work; you are often paying for your accommodation, your flight, your meals and to fund the project you are volunteering on. You will certainly get a lot more out of your holiday if you give something back, and that the volunteer work will open you up to experiences which normal tourism doesn’t offer you.
 
What kind of people is it suitable for?
EVERYONE has something to offer! You don't have to be a builder, carpenter, medic or engineer to help. Even such basic things as visiting an orphanage and spending time with the children will have a massive psychological benefit to those you visit. Every person will be a valuable asset to the project and every person has their part to play.
Shouldn't this be left to the Governments and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)?
Assisting global development is everyone’s responsibility – not just governments and professional development organisations. Obviously, governments and NGOs are important players, but we cannot excuse ourselves from our responsibility to our global neighbours. 
Many NGOs can only use people if they are able to commit to long period of time (usually many months). Some voluntourism organisations offer those who can only spare a few weeks the chance to contribute and help on a short-term basis, providing very necessary help and support, without which thousands of projects may not be able to continue in their development."  --Xyzzyplugh 14:40, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Risk financing

message: “Risk financing” as defined in Wikipedia as a business matter is not correct. Risk Financing is also a consumer and business matter in that it affects almost 100 percent of the American population.  
Risk Financing is the exact language that should be a mandatory class taught in High school and higher education. Risk Financing aka “Insurance” 
Risk Financing means the financial preparation to fund unwanted unexpected events. Risk financing is more often referred to as “insurance” which to almost all Americans is some nebulous word that is almost impossible for consumers to define. Risk Financing however is clear in its meaning.
The industry of “insurance” uses words that are vague like the word “policy” All insurance policies are actually legal contracts, and consumers will not purchase Legal Contracts but the will a policy because it sounds better.
