Talk:Current political events of Venezuela

message: Something needs to be done with this article as it is one of the oldest articles marked for cleanup. The article simply a summary of already existing articles. This article should either 1.) actually contain current events, which would probably mean there should be a portal for the subject instead an article, 2.) change the article title to 'List of political events in Venezuela, and re-write the article or 3.) propose the article for deletion.

replies: text: I would suggest a deletion without prejudice. The three alternatives above are fine but, as it stands now, the article is nothing but a lot of unreferenced facts that can be found (often referenced) in other articles. The article also acts as POV fork as it seems you can write anything here without providing refs. If someone considers WP need an article on this subject s/he would better start from scratch.

replies: text: Anyone seeking proof can find it by using Google to search on the words "James McHenry slaves". In the first document listed in the search I ran, the Archive of Maryland's Biographical Sketch on McHenry shows 6 slaves in his possession as of 1790 and 10 slaves upon his death in 1816. Other sources that confirm McHenry's slave holdings include the National Parks Service and a paper on JSTOR by Karen Robbins, who authored James McHenry, Forgotten Federalist. Robbins's book also confirms McHenry's ownership of slaves; while I could not access the book, reviews on Amazon.com mention McHenry's association with slavery.

Talk:Alick Downer

message: When was this guy Premier of South Australia? Timeshift 03:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: On 12th June 2014, this article was moved from Alec Downer to Alick Downer.
The reason for this is because the spelling Alick is more widely used in documentation.
Examples include his entry into the Australian Dictionary of Biography. In addition, Downer wrote an autobiographical book called The Downers of South Australia and the author on the book is Alick Downer. There is no mention of the spelling Alec.
I have had access to his archival collection at the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library, and although I have not viewed every piece of the collection, I did not find anything with the spelling of Alec on it. This might be the typical spelling of the name, but I do not think it applies to Downer. All of the family documents I have viewed use the spelling Alick, and staff at the archive encourage use of this spelling.

thread_title: Messy equations

message: As much as this article represents common views of the finite element method by held by many structural engineers in industry, it has several glaring omissions and shows poor understanding of element properties and connectivity. Midside nodes are added to increase DOF for lagrangian shape functions only, not for elements using legendre shape functions. Nodes do not "drag" the element, but only serve to define connectivity. Contrary to popular belief, displacements ARE defined continuously throughout the entire domain, not just the nodes, and the extraction of displacement within an element is not interpolation! Higher order elements are not treated by this article, in which continuous derivatives can be obtained at any point within any element anywhere in the domain without interpolation. The sin of reduced integration is not mentioned, nor its bad side effects. Please see http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Finite-Element-Analysis-Computational/dp/0470977280/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1312818953&sr=8-2

Talk:Paul Hasluck

message: When the Prime Minister Harold Holt died in December 1967, Hasluck was determined that the Treasurer, William McMahon, of whom he had a very low opinion, should not become Prime Minister. Although he had no great ambition to be Prime Minister himself, he put his name forward mainly to provide an alternative to McMahon. But many Liberal MPs saw him as too old at 64 and too conservative to compete with the Labor leader, Gough Whitlam, and they chose the younger and more aggressive John Gorton.
:This gives a very inaccurate picture of what happened.  It excludes any mention of John McEwen, who was actually PM between Holt and Gorton (albeit not for long), and his crucial role in ensuring that McMahon did not become PM.  Afaik, McMahon was not even a candidate at the January 1968 election at which Gorton was elected, because McEwen had publicly stated back in December 1967 that he and his Country Party would not serve in any coalition government that was led by McMahon.  The January election was between Gorton and Hasluck, not between Gorton, McMahon and Hasluck.  The Hasluck-McMahon mutual dislike was certainly part of the overall picture, and it might have played a more significant part if McEwen had not snookered McMahon in December.  But he did. --  JackofOz (talk) 01:04, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello! 
I will hopefully be contributing to this article as part of my class project! I will be making some minor additions to the second intro paragraph which will include a brief mention about the production of immune cells directly in the CNS. 
I will hopefully be adding more content under the Cellular physiology heading that is marked incomplete. In the first paragraph of this section I will include information on cytokines and their role in coordinating responses between the immune and nervous system. This also includes an example of cytokine binding to interleukin receptors and the resulting sensation of pain.  I will also be going over some general information about the physiology and cellular processes behind neuroimmune actions to dangerous stimuli, necrosis, and inflammation. 
I will also be starting a new section called Neuroimmune responses. In this section I will branch to two subheadings which include withdrawal reflex and reflexes to pathogens and toxins. These sections will include information about their respective reflexes and how the neuroimmune system is involved in them. 
I will add any more relevant information as I do more research on this topic. I expect to post these edits between April 5 - April 8. Looking forward to working with other Wikipedians on this article! Gandalf122 (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:The Hundred Days of the Dragon

message: I am hesitating with this plotline:
A Chinese scientist invents a serum combined with a metallic mold which allows to change the look of a face. The first test is undergone by a Chinese agent because the Chinese government plans to takeover America by infiltrating and substituting all the Officials at the White House. During the campaign trail, William Lyons Selby is gunned down and replaced. And his duplicate is finally elected.
This is my question, Should I precise the term "chinese" or not? Is not this offending for the chinese?

text: Having just watched the DVD of this episode: the episode implies China, but simply says "an oriental country." We could say the country is China, but add that anti-chinese attitudes were commonplace in the west at that time. Perhaps a brief mention of this attitude needs putting in. PS - this episode was broadcast a year after the first Manchurian Candidate film, which needs putting in. Totnesmartin 18:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Many of the Wikipedia episode guides list Monsieur Vincent's webpage as an external link. However, the link is broken. Clicking on the link will give you a "Page non trouvée" (Page not found) message. All of these links should be deleted. Another note: anti-Chinese attitudes may or may not have been commonplace in the West in 1963, but one should remember that it had been only 10 years since the US had fought the ghastly Korean War with the Chinese, and that the Chinese government of the time was agressively anti-western. China's communist government had executed millions of its own citizens for political reasons, and was pursuing a policy aimed at expanding its system of government into neighboring countries - hence the plot. (I'm old enough to remember the way China used to be.) Another way to put it is the old joke: Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're *not* out to get me. Therefore, I think it quite appropriate not to add any latter-day, hindsight-is-20/20 attempts at explaining its context (which would constitute original research anyway), and to leave the page the way it is - avoiding controversial opinions and sticking to only facts about the episode, as seems to have happened after your 2007 discussion.Rodney420 (talk) 15:01, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
