Talk:Republic/Archive 6

message: There are a number of clearly interlinked definitions of what is a republic.  Perhaps the most straightforward is that republics are any states that are not monarchies. This meaning can apply to all manner of states from democracies to totalitarian dictatorships. Republicanism can thus refer to any movement opposing monarchy.
:"Perhaps the most straightforward" is bad wikipedia writing. see wikipedia:manual of style. "Perhaps the most straightforward is that republics are any states that are not monarchies." is unreferenced POV.
In the early modern period philosophers developed a view of what is the ideal republic.  They saw the ideal republic as one based on popular sovereignty, civic virtue, and mixed government.  This meaning is often contrasted with liberalism. A republic can thus also refer to a state that matches this ideal, even if it might be a monarchy. Thus some states belonging to the British Commonwealth, like Australia could be described as republics, but they are not conventionally so labeled.
:deceptive writing as if classical authors had not also developed several views of what is the ideal republic. And as if early modern philosophers developed a single view. And as if mixed government is one single form of government.
In the United States a third definition developed that sees republic as a synonym for representative democracy.
:See Wikipedia:POV - subtitle "Country POV". I don't think "representative democracy" was developed in the US alone. And deceptive as if "representative democracy" is a definition for republic.
::Introductions by neccessity make generalizations, but I have improved the text somewhat.  Also representative democracy is a defintion of republic that is widely used in the United States. Please read the "republicanism in the United States" section.  - SimonP
:::Of course it's about the best way to "summarize" we are discussing. On first sight your improvements seem to work better, but see also my reply to the next section. --Francis Schonken 14:49, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Download (band)

message: It's kind of astounding that so much of this article was written without more than a single inline reference. I've done a first pass trying to regenerate references for what was written but there is plenty more that can be done. The first few sections in History treating on the first releases could use some clean up in form & content in addition to references. regardless, there are now a suitable number of references to justify removing the citation warning. -- t_kiehne (talk) 07:02, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

message: What separates IDM from Techno?  I've always thought of artists like Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Boards of Canada to be IDM, and bands like Download (in III and Effector) to be Techno.
What I think separates IDM from Techno is that techno is basically electronically created beat music, where IDM is techno with more emphasis on percussion and ambience and less emphasis on the synthetic sound.  To me, Download is Techno in III and Effector because even though they have a relatively noticable ambient quality in parts of their songs (ex: Flight of Luminous Insects), they still sound mainly synthetic and their percussion isn't the main theme of the music like it is for Autechre and Aphex Twin.  Of course, I'm using "percussion" loosely here to mean any sound with high attack and a harsh sound, as opposed to a relatively normal attack that the beats in III and Effector have.
:I would have to agree. If you check out several sites, they'll label some albums Industrial/IDM, and the ones you mentioned get Techno.  I would definitely say Download is more IDM than anything. cEvin Key did come from Skinny Puppy so he has the Industrial/Post-Industrial background which comes through on his albums.

message: I like the template.  It imposes order.  I think people should be careful that they don't put too much information on each list.  A couple additions I would like to see a sort by power (which is my biggest request).  That would really i.d. the biggest stations of a state.  I would also like to see ownership category.  Both of those items are easily available by a query of the FCC
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/fmq.html
And the results can be manipulated via Excel to quickly drop into wiki format (and easily updated going forward).  I would have gone ahead and done that myself at least for the power but I want to ask first.

Talk:Bloody Valentine War

message: [I'm coping this text from the discussion page of Second Bloody Valentine War, which can be seen as a sister page to this one, so the same should apply.]
I think this page should be an accurate chronology of the war. It should be narrated from a neutral point of view, something of a historical narration. As such, it should contain:
*an introduction to the war
*a chronology of events, main battles, alliances, turning-points
*the outcome of the war
*eventual treaties (if any).
For every event there should be the date and the place. For the battles, there should be info about the battle itself, such as deployed units, rules of engagement and the outcome. 
This page, on the other hand, SHOULD NOT contain any of the following:
*any reference to single episodes, mangas or other source material; this is a chronology of the war, not a collection of synopses
*any information about the single characters, where not directly pertinent to the war as a whole; there shouldn't be an entire chapter for someones decisions/actions unless consequential to the whole war
*any character's personal life events; these should go either on the Cosmic Era list of characters page or on the appropriate character's own page; these are not historical events
*single dogfights between various gundams; these should be mentioned only when relevant to the entire battle (which is often the case), and shouldn't be described in too much of a detail (such as listing every move); if some dogfight is particularly unique, it should be put on the page of the defeated unit, under the fate subsection, not here
*technical explanations of any kind; there are plenty of pages describing any possible ship, mobile suit unit, weapon and technology. 
Please feel free to add your point of view, so we can all put toghether a set of basic rules and compose a nicer page.
Thanks to all.

thread_title:  No synopsis, please  

message: While looking through this article, I've noticed that while it's pretty good, it's lacking a bunch of easily obtainable details, along with more general background information on the war itself.  I mean, pretty much every article I've read on Wikipedia has a section that talks about the causes in some depth...why doesn't this one?  Thus, I'm going to be expanding the article a bit in the near future.  If anyone has any problem with what I add, just say so and I'll explain my reasons for adding it. --Pkmatrix 19:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

The closest to being a source meeting WP:RS would be The Incredible Scofield and His Book, and that only makes mention of Untermeyer as not blackballing Scofield's entrance into the Lotus club.  Regardless, it is nonsense to suggest that there is some kind of Zionist conspiracy amongst Wikipedians.
