Talk:List of people from Macon, Georgia

message: Despite Attorney Roy Miller notability isn't verified I changed the description from "having the word n-word deleted from a major dictionary" to "having the word "nigger" deleted from a major dictionary". 
I did this firstly because the euphemisms made the sentence confusing, as he mostly likely didn't delete "the n-word" from the dictionary, but instead deleted the word "nigger". 
Secondly I did this because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and should thus threat everything from a neutral point of view, even if it describes something bad, vulgar or wrong. If we start to censor words and concepts just because some people finds them bad (or in this case: hopefully everyone that doesn't have a good reason) Wikipedia will start to lose its truthfulness and reliability as a neutral source of information.
The change should also conform with these policies:
*Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_censored
*Wikipedia:Offensive material
*Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch#Vulgarities, obscenities, and profanities
*Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch#Expressions that lack precision#Euphemisms
*Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
Lastly. As I'm not native to American history or culture and the English language I'm unsure about the exact word "the n-word" is referring to. I chose this word based on the article n-word. Can someone please correct it if I made a mistake?

message: *I would be broadly against a merger. I think it could be done well, but the SFS's page needs so much work before throwing a whole page up into it as a section or subsections. I note how SFS-Q has its own dean, its own clubs, and its own admission policies.  I think if you merged them you would constantly be saying "And in Qatar... there is a cricket team" or something, as there is little in common other than the parent organization. I worry that because the SFS page lists a fact about the SFS, lets say that it was founded 1919 or that Aznar teaches there, readers might assume that was also true for Qatar.--Patrick Ѻ 20:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Page title 

message: This could do with some more research.
The 12th-century claim is rather unsubstantiated. 
The 1482 charter exists, but all it does is complaining that everyone is marking swans illegally, and therefore restricting the right to mark swans to rich land-owners. Swans marked by others are to be seized, and half of the swans so seized are to be given to the king. 
That's it, no claim concerning "all unmarked swans on open waters" or similar, and no Vintners or Dyers.
I assume more information could be found in Ticehurst (1957), but it's only available via snipped view on google books. 
In any case the internet is full of false information on this, which is aimlessly copy-pasted around. I am sure the BBC News got the "900-years history" from Wikipedia, and we are now using that as a source for Wikipedia. This is why we cannot use journalism for references: journalists have learned to google, but they do not care to get it right, they just take whatever sounds good to them and move on. --dab (𒁳) 08:17, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

message: i don't see why floating cities only refers to Buoyancy.  What about cities that actively hover or fly through the air by technological or magical means.  Cloud City for example relies on active technology - not buoyancy - to keep it flying.

message: I've performed the move as consensus was clear.
But I'd like to now ask some questions about the scope of the (renamed) article.
Firstly, does it cover water-borne cities and islands? If so there are a couple of ones I can suggest:
* Mekonta, the Treen capital city on Venus in the Dan Dare serials in Eagle magazine
* The natural floating coral island discovered and claimed by Scrooge McDuck in one of his Carl Barks authored and drawn adventures
** The story is The Floating Island, first published July 1959  Andrewa (talk) 02:35, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm thinking it should have a separate section for water and air floating cities. There is an article on real-life water cities, so it is definitely a notable topic.

To all Woodstock folks, there is lot of history here that is missing, i.e. the performer who set up the stage was Will Hoppy, which was continually built upon during the event, there was an alternative event where several major acts performed nearby, some even went over to the Woodstock site, Johnny Winters band bus circled the site several times but never stopped to play. Futu Futu and Melanie did. The Dharma Bums from NYC came up to play as did David Peel & the Lower East Side.
