Talk:Blame It on Lisa

message: Lisa says Ronaldo was her penpal first, but when he stopped writing, she had to resort to calling the orphanage, and they coerced her into giving donations, and that's how the phone bill got so big...
So they go to find him, and when they do, Ronaldo says he got a new job and he would've written Lisa about it but he didn't know what state she lived in...  so how was he writing her before?

Talk:National Council of the Resistance

message: The aspect I'm still confused about is this. At the start of the article, it is suggested that the purpose of the CNR was to improve the coordination of guerilla activities against the Nazi occupiers. Then the article goes into great detail about who attended the first meeting, but says nothing at all about whether the group was successful in its original purpose: organizing the assorted resistance movements to fight the Nazis more effectively. Instead, the article talks about the "programme du Conseil National de la Résistance", which essentially was their blueprint for how France could be governed after the Nazis were thrown out. So did the CNR drastically change its focus after it was formed? That's the impression the article gives, but it doesn't state it explicitly, which I think is awkward. On the other hand, if the CNR really did play a role in organizing strikes against the Occupation or the Vichy regime, then some of its specific achievements in that regard should be mentioned. --Mathew5000 20:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Nian Rebellion

message: "The modern Chinese words Xin-Lai (信賴) and Xin-Ren (信任), meaning believe and trust, may come from Lai Wenguang and Ren Zhu, leaders of the Nien Rebellion."
Come on, how likely is that? 
信賴 and 信任 are perfectly formed words, and not recent additions to Chinese vocabulary:
宋˙沈括˙故信陽軍羅山縣令陳君墓志銘：「仕于邦，則當劇處繁，能以多為約，人信賴之。」
(for non-Chinese speakers, 信賴 here is used in a text from the Song dynasty.
I am not familiar with Wp editing, but I see that this flight of fancy originates from Hans yulun lai, who was banned from Chinese Wp; who has been repeatedly accused of vandalism, and incoherent/unsourced editing; and who created several pages which were marked for speedy deletion.
So I suppose that simply erasing this paragraph would be best. 81.57.148.99 (talk) 21:27, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of 信賴 

message: There are two names for the event in Chinese:捻亂 is used by Qing dynasty and ROC, and 捻军起义 by PRC. The difference represents different views on the nature of the rebellion. Since PRC praises rebellions against non-communist governments, it's called 捻军起义, where 起义 means (just) revolt. ROC and previous dynasties condemn rebellions against governments, so it's called 捻亂, where 亂 means 'riot'. Both historical perspectives should be reflected. I used different Traditional vs. Simplified names to show the difference. If there is a better way, I'm open to it. Simply showing the name used by PRC is POV. --Happyseeu (talk) 21:47, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's a particularly big deal. "Rebellion" (捻亂) and "uprising" (起义) are pretty much interchangeable in English. Native speakers don't read any particular nuance into the specific word used—rebellions, uprisings or revolts are seen as identical events.  Philg88 ♦talk 06:04, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that here it is not in fact a "particularly big deal," though I would do so on the grounds that "rebellion" is pretty much standard in English scholarship and is not controversial. In some other cases, however, the difference between "rebellion" and "uprising" does make a difference, as in Boxer rebellion which I and a number (but not a large enough number!) of editors maintained was a misnomer and misleading and preferred "Boxer Uprising."ch (talk) 06:24, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:List of rebellions in China

message: This list seems to be only for major rebellions. I made small stubs for the Small Knife Society rebellion and the Red Turban Rebellion (1854–1856), which I hope someone with more expertise than me will expand. I'm not sure whether they are sufficiently "major" to be added here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:03, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure the major ones were just added first. There's nothing wrong with mentioning smaller revolts, althoughper you wouldn't want to go into wide-ranging detail here. Just include the date and scope and link to the main article. — LlywelynII 00:39, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  How major? 

message: I have no idea why this completely arbitrary date was chosen, but it's not helpful. I, for instance, came looking for the Rebellion of the Three Overseers or Guards during the early Zhou. You could make divisions between "Royal", "Imperial", "Republican", and "Communist" China, but how would that be more helpful than just keeping a single list? (If the number of revolts during the Eastern Zhou means the page would balloon in size, use links and turn this into a bullet list or chart. It's a bit silly to duplicate too much information here anyway.) — LlywelynII 00:39, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I hate to blank content, but the existing glosses of these rebellions are at best unsourced and duplication of existing articles; at worst, they're badly-composed exercises in POV splinters. Anyone else agree with me that we should remake this page into a bullet list or table?

message: Mid-America Federal is on this list, but I wonder WHICH Mid-America Federal this might apply to. Mid-America Federal Savings & Loan dropped the "Savings & Loan" from its name in the 1980s (after the S&L scandals of that decade) and renamed itself into MidAmerica Bank in the 1990s. It's still an independent entity, with a parent of Mid-America Federal Bancorp (and traded under MAFB), and corporate offices in Clarendon Hills, Illinois. The bank is not large, and has taken over a couple of other Chicago area banks, but is a decent regional "player" in northeast Illinois and southeast Wisconsin. --JohnDBuell 01:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Since when does the acquired company take over senior management from the acquiring company?

Other than the retention of the JP Morgan Chase corporate name, what was kept? If I take over your firm, I don't fire myself and make you the head of the company, do I? In the game of corporate takeovers, how does the loser become the champion? Stevenmitchell (talk) 07:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to "conventional wisdom" the answer to this question is that it was felt by Chase management that Bank One's people had a much better handle on the retail banking business while Chase's people knew the investment banking business.  It was recognized that the retail side of the business was vitally important to the merged entity.  Bank One's people were put in charge of the retail side of the newly merged company and, indeed, many Bank One retail customers felt that the merger was seamless and were not disturbed by the "feel" of dealing with the merged company.  As for Jamie Dimon, if memory serves correctly (and the article on Jamie Dimon in Wikipedia is not clear on this), he rose to the position of Bank One's CEO out of Bank One's investment arm, such as it might have been, after leaving Citigroup, and his previous investment experience may explain why he was chosen for the leadership of JPMorganChase.

In any case, as to move the spaming of ALTTP's talk page:
Technically there's the same problem with "Elebits" which is released LATER in Europe as "Eledees".  The problem is handled by having the main page at the English title of first release, with redirects from the other names to that page.  Same with "Bully"/"Canis Canem Edit" (the latter following the former in release).  (Unfortunately, I can't find an example of a game which hit Europe first then came out stateside)  Since "Magentica" is the name released first in the English world, it makes more sense to have that as the main page, with "Shunkan Puzzloop" redirecting to it, but using both names in the article proper.  (and referencing any reason for the name change).  Also as per WP:UE pages should named after their English names, even if localized and not translations. --Masem 23:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
