message: I find it hard to believe that Miami has the largest community of South Africans outside of South Africa.
For example London has 45,506 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London#Ethnic_groups UK 2001 Census Data). Whereas the whole of the US apparently has 45,569 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_immigration_to_the_United_States#Population US 2000 Census Data)
Anyway, untill we have an actual source, I don't think it is worth naming the largest communities. Pablo Alto (talk) 04:38, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:National Institute for Latino Policy

message: The article simply describes the work of an important 25 year old institution in the Latino community in the United States like any other institution. It is a nonprofit civil rights organization and it is written in a similar style to entries for similar organizations in Wikipedia, like the NAACP, etc. Also, please note that none of the publications or services listed are for sale of fee --- all are available for free. Could someone be more specific about how this is advertising or biased so we can make revisions?
I removed the POV tag because it seems covered by the Advertisement tag. Is this correct?
With the editorial changes made, I think the Advertisement tag can be removed.
I went through the Guide to Layout and tried to make sure the article conformed to it. I then removed the Wikify tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prpolicy  (talk • contribs) 03:59, 23 August 2006

Talk:Michigan Territory's at-large congressional district

message: I had modified this list of representatives to correspond with the style from other congressional district articles.  See, for example, .  Also, even for non-voting territorial delegates, their district home is known.—Markles 18:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I'm not sure how that became the "standard" format. I think the notes column is unsightly and I still don't really know what the district home column is supposed to mean. I'd rather the years split into two columns, especially when using full dates, to help align the dates better. I'd also like to include the Congresses served in, or at least the range of the Congresses served in. older ≠ wiser 21:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I admit by "standard" I really mean the other district articles I've worked on. Some of the "List of United States Representatives from Foo" articles also use this format. (See, for example, List of United States Representatives from Massachusetts).  "District Home" is the member's hometown when he/she represented the district.  This is often helpful to indicate where the district was when looking at a long list of Reps when the district's boundaries have changed.  If, however, you'd rather leave this article your way, that's fine with me.  Wikipedia is all about collaboration.—Markles 21:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem. I didn't mean to sound snippish. I admire the work you've done on a lot of these congress-related articles. A home town indicator may be useful for actual districts, where the boundaries shift about every ten years or so, but seem less so for at-large districts (and actually, you might want to add a note or something explaining what home district means, since it isn't exactly obvious).

Talk:Redstockings

message: While I think Candi Churchill added some good information to this article, I'm a bit unsure about some of the things she removed and hence have re-added them. The first was on Redstockings influence on No More Nice Girls, which I thought was important for historical context. Perhaps it belongs elsewhere in the article, but deleting it entirely was uncalled for. The second was the statement "The Redstockings were more influenced by Marxism than were other radical feminist groups". I've read some of Redstockings early writings, and that seems like an accurate statement to me. Even if Redstockings weren't strictly speaking Marxists or socialist feminists, they seemed to have a kind of "feminist materialist" perspective that is noticeably more influence by Marxism than would be the case with cultural feminism. Peter G Werner 03:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The anthology omits a controversial report on Gloria Steinem's involvement with a liberal youth group that was later revealed to have been funded by the CIA. This publication created a lasting rift between members of Redstockings and feminists who were close to Steinem
Why would their not publishing a report disreputable to Steinem cause a rift with those close to her? If I am misreading this then it likely needs to be rewritten, cause I read good.

message: A new bill, essentially identical to the 109th Congress's H.R. 698, has been introduced in the new (110th) Congress:  H.R. 133.  Given that a bill of this sort is likely to be introduced every two years (in each new Congress), I question whether it's really a good idea to have a separate Wikipedia article for each such bill.

Talk:Israel Israeli

message: unaware of this. usually the term is "ploni" / "almoni" or... "man dehu" perhaps. Never heard of Israel Israeli. Amoruso 04:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. In Israeli law the use is Ploni Almoni (based on book of Ruth). recommend Afd. DGtal (talk) 13:02, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

text: Let's put this in order:
* Although the Book of Ruth has "ploni almoni", in modern usage these words are used separately and "almoni" means anonymous.
* "Ploni" in modern usage is a generic, but is kind of rare.
* In legal discourse, they use the names of the sons of Jacob from the bible. So to describe a case, the first party would be called "Reuven", the second party "Shimon", and so on.
* I haven't seen "Israel Israeli" used except on sample documents. So government website might show a sample passport or driver's license with the name "Israel Israeli", and credit card companies might show a sample credit card with that name. It's sort of a generic name. But I haven't heard it used in any other context.

message: This literal translation is unhelpful. While it is true that French word chasseur originally means 'hunter,' in this context it means 'light cavalry'- being a contraction of the term ' chasseurs a cheval. ' 
' Chasseur ' was co-opted as a military term in the C18th in the same way that ' jäger ' in German and the English 'ranger' were. All were terms for professional huntsmen used to refer to marksmen, skirmishers, and light troops in general. 
The translation is, in any case, redundant as the opening sentence with links is self-explanatory. It is better removed
