Talk:Patrick Tower

message: Sergeant Tower is still serving. I've not updated the infobox with his current particulars as frankly, I'm not convinced it is not
*a breach of military security, and
*an invasion of his privacy
My opinion would be that he would be the best judge as to whether or not he felt comfortable sharing further details of his current service life on the Internet. In any event, a remarkable soldier who is still doing great things for the Forces and his country.Michael DoroshTalk 20:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Tacuarembó

message: Gardel is French, not Uruguayan. See Talk:Carlos Gardel#Birth certificate.. There used to be a controversy on Gardel being French or Uruguayan, but no longer: the birth certificate is a definitive evidence that finally settles things.

text: Actually, the investigation was led by one Argentine and two Frenchs, so it isn't an Argentine trick. If it was an Argentine conspiracy, the birth certificate would have been found at some hospital at the "El Abasto" neighbourhood :) And yes, to consider that the controversy is alive we should have authors, not common people, disputing the birth certificate (as they would have to actually provide proof or a solid reasoning for doing so).

thread_title: An article in need of assessment

message: I think this article entirely misses the point. A political entrepreneur means someone who demonstrates political entrepreneurialism which is a recognised term in political science to denote a person, often an outsider, who sees and exploits a political opportunity or creates a new form of political mobilisation (cf 1 or 2 or 3 or 4). It does not mean a politically-active businessman, even if the same term is sometimes applied as a joke (like 1). Only the former is notable —Brigade Piron (talk) 11:17, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Bernard Lee

message: When I first saw this article, I was surprized to see that some random editor had placed Bernard Lee under the catagory titled "Gay Actors". As a big fan of the James Bond series and an admirer of Lee's performance as "M", I had to find out if this was true. However, during my research, I could not find any solid evidence (not even in the biography section for Lee in the Internet Movie Database) that Lee was actually a homosexual. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that the inclusion of the "Gay Actors" tag in this article was probably either the result of vandalism or malicious rumors and I felt obliged to remove this controversial tag. If anyone had any solid proof that Bernard Lee was in fact gay, please provide actual references before re-adding this catagory back into the article. Thank you!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaiser Taylor (talk • contribs) 10:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Then please provide the evidence in the form of citations.  In the absence of anything in the article to support him being gay, there is zero justification for having him in a gay category.  "Well-known" does not amount to any form of evidence.  For now at least, the category is being removed.  --  JackofOz (talk) 01:01, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Dunkirk (1958 film)

message: I've changed such obvious Americanisms as 'made it' and 'movie' in accordance with the British English tag. 
I've also changed "When Herons motor seizes up" to "When Herons engine malfunctions" because a) 'motor' in this context is (I think), American English for 'engine' and b) 'seizes up' is pretty terminal. I'm no mechanic, but if anything mechanical 'seizes up', I don't believe anyone can 'effect repairs'

thread_title: New article

message: i think the promotion of seated meditation as a vehicle for 'whatever' does place springwater and packer still in the zen orbit, so comparisons with zen are not unfair. one can see an ipso facto transmission given to her leading disciples which is another almost unique zen charateristic. 
i have often wondered about the utility of seated mediation, but now think its just part and parcel of the zen 'package' and its not necessary to separate it or try and seek some resolution, whatever the utility of zen was, it passes with progress and so too with seated meditation. 
if its a technique, you have to ask for what and after years of observation i would have to say its singularly unsuccessful Osip7315 (talk) 04:56, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Britten’s Children

message: Bridcut uses the term "paedocrat". This article labelled Britten as a paedophile. This is a highly charged term with several meanings. It has a very strict literal meaning of one one who is sexually attracted to children (which is undeniably true of Britten). It is also seen in contexts such as "he is a convicted paedophile" (seen in the The Times recently). Thus the term is used in the media, to mean a criminal act (which the book does not accuse Britten of performing). The book treads a very careful line (and the author has done a brilliant job in doing so): this article must respect that. Bluewave 19:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi - I don't recall the use of the word paedocrat, but I've added a new para taken from p 237. Tony 14:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I took out the paedophile phrase from the sentence "Bridcut provides ample proof that Britten was sexually attracted to young boys, in other words a paedophile, but is similarly able to show that it is unlikely that Britten ever stepped over the line of propriety and molested any of the boys." If the term "paedophile" is used in its strictest sense, then it is simply a restatement of the earlier phrase "Britten was sexually attracted to young boys". However, the term is sensationalist (something which Bridcut studiously avoided) and is used in the media to imply criminal behaviour (which Bridcut does not suggest). Bluewave 10:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Bridcut did avoid labouring the fact, but he did mention it (as per the quotation) and in a summary of the book I think it is fair to put it in.  Is it not important to recognise that Britten was a paedophile, but that some/many paedophiles are not the predatory types portrayeed by the media?  An encyclopaedia should be free to use words in their correct context.  In English Law, the words paedophile and paedophilia never appear as offences.  It is a condition; it is not illegal.  I have not reverted your edit at this stage as we may get some other Wikipedians adding to the debate and let's wait to hear what they say... Tony 17:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

text: OK. Fair point. Happy to get other views. Bluewave 18:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just did a quick search for "pedocrat" and turned up nothing. It may well become a word in the English language someday, but for the moment it is of no use to us. So I would be of the opinion that "pedophile" would be a useful term, as long as we make it clear that he was an ethical pedophile. As an aside, I have recently come across the term "pedosadist" (again, not much on Google) but if it ever takes off it will be helpful in differentiating between people who hurt children and people who love children without harming them. (Funny, you'd think it would be an obvious distinction.) Haiduc 23:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
