message: Having had to revert this twice in a short period I thought I might mention it here: the German for cricket is Cricket, and not Kricket as two bots have now erroneously had it. See (and note the spelling of) the Deutscher Cricket Bund website. Loganberry (Talk) 23:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  It's just not Kricket! 

message: "A bowler delivers the ball toward the batsmen, using what is known as a bowling action: his arm must not straighten at the elbow during the delivery. If he bends his arm in any manner, it is an illegal throw"  From this excerpt, it would appear that the bowler's arm can be neither bent nor straight; as a non-cricketer, I am confused. Escheffel 23:45, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The bowler's arm may be either bent or straight - what is not allowed is for the arm to straighten, i.e. to become more straight than it is. If you throw a ball normally, notice how your elbow starts bent, but is straight when you release the ball. That is what is not allowed. Typically, a bowler keeps his elbow locked straight and rolls his arm over his shoulder. -dmmaus 23:52, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

text: And to make things even more complicated, scientists recently discovered (through analysing video of bowlers) that it is practically impossible to bowl without some straightening of the arm. This led to the ICC changing the rules to say that straightening of up to 15 degrees will now be permissible. Some bowlers are given even more latitude. The Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan is unable to fully straighten his bowling arm and it took an ICC investigation to clear him. His article has a very good explanation of the controversy involved.  Lisiate 23:57, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Persecution of Heathens

message: I'm not any form of pagan myself (agnostic, thanks), but, upon seeing the title of this page, it struck me as mildly insensitive. "Heathen" has traditionally been used as an outgroup slur by Christians to denote those who are perceived as "non-Christian", comparable to the Muslim use of the term "infidel". Moreover, it's also a fairly vaguely-defined term: Are "heathens" simply polytheists (this would include Hinduism, then, which already has its own persecution page)? Are "heathens" specifically pagan polytheists adhering to a reconstructed European pantheon and spirituality (this would exclude historical use of the term)? Are "heathens" simply non-monotheists (you could make arguments for ancient Judaism as a henotheistic faith, Zoroastrianism as a dualistic faith, and there's the ever-present Roman Catholic Trinity Issue)? Are "heathens" followers of a non-Levantine religion, spirituality, or philosophy (everyone except for Christians, Jews, and Muslims, and then there are issues of non-normative Dharmic religious sects that have incorporated certain elements of the Abrahamic religions into their own practices and beliefs)? What about non-normative elements of Abrahamic religions, like the early Christian Gnostic sects that were heavily persecuted by nascent Pauline Christianity—do they count as "heathens"? You can begin to see the problems with the word. Now, maybe enlightened pagans out there have set about reclaiming the term, but there are still issues with the application of the word "heathen". Can't we find a better title for the page? Or possibly create multiple articles for more specific application in pertinence to modern Neopagan religions and sects, differentiating from the older "heathen" faiths?

thread_title:  Unnecessarily Offensive and Vague? 

message: In a way this article is already splitted and serves as a disambig page for Persecution of Roman religion, Persecution of Ancient Greek religion and Persecution of Germanic paganism. However, it also acts as a holding place for persecution of some minor religions that so far don't have their own pages. // Liftarn
:we can link to Bwiti (but the statement was unsourced anyway): not every subtopic needs its own page, this can easily be discussed in the article on the respective religions. dab (𒁳) 09:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am against splitting for the moment, mainly because there are articles on Persecution of Christians and other major religions and I don't see why there shouldn't be this article too. The fact that the circumstances were very different in different places and times will become evident as the article is expanded. Since after AfD the page is to remain, we should concentrate on improving and expanding the different sections. Appropriate references to sub-articles should be given at each point. We should return later to the question of whether this article has any coherence in itself.Itsmejudith 14:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge from [[Rana Walker]]

message: Rana Walker stands on her own and is not just about 'starting over'. If you google her name several websites come up. Her own website describes : "Rana Walker is an experienced mental health therapist and wellness coach. For more than 15 years, she has created wellness experiences, facilitated workshops and lectured domestically and abroad. Her overseas travels, and residence in Ghana, West Africa, have laid the groundwork for a far reaching worldview." 
I think the article Rana Walker should not be merged and instead be listed as a stub and offer the community the ability to build her page. 
It is the same with Iyanla Vanzant, Rhonda Britten and Stan Katz. They all share similar capacities that Rana Walker held while on 'Starting Over.'

Talk:Naughty chair

message: This article looks rather POV to me. Though I am not a child psychologist and I don't want to argue, I think that this article is one-sided and negative about the naugty chair. The article states all disadvantages of this diciplinary method but no advantages. It is not wrong to state the disadvantages, but list the advantages as well. Dividing the article into a lead and chapters about the workings of the method, the advantages of the method and the disadvantages of the method would also made the article more readable. Opinions about the naughty chair can be stated on specific forums on internet sites dealing with parenting; Wikipedia wants to be a neutral encyclopedia and is not a forum.
