Talk:Clearing House (EU)

message: This article looks like bullshit... at least another source would be good. --Sterio 16:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Added a similar source without need for sub. Thing is about obscure groups with names similar to 100 other orgs is that it is very hard to google. Oh and would you kindly not use language such as "bullshit". - J Logan t: 17:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Conspiracy theory? They're normal news articles and it is hardly something dramatic or shocking that it must be untrue. And they don't "refer to each other", they just contain similar material as one is more reliable news agency but when the article was put up it was locked so the other one was there for people to read.- J.Logan`t: 17:08, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I've already stated, ARMA is there because EU observer was subscriber only before. What grounds do you doubt the EU Observer article? It is hard to find this through a normal google because a) its small b) its secretive c) it has a very very common name and d) it isn't used by that name in most places.- J.Logan`t: 09:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Now who's guessing, how can you even judge if it is poorly sourced when you don't know the sources? And you never do with news articles. You've been making your own assumptions about this from the start, many articles don't even have one source supporting them but no one disputes them like this - fact is it is 1-0 so far and even if there is a problem with the name, its something which is more than nothing - something else might come to light and then it can be worked on - can't you leave it be?- J.Logan`t: 08:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Song credentials 

message: I've been in contact with Butterscotch, particularly on the subject of securing a Free Use photo for this page.  (I've contacted Cas and Terry as well, Butterscotch is the only one to respond so far.) One of her comments was that the page name, particularly the "singer" part, was not really appropriate.  This echoed some thoughts I had been having.  Her suggestion was "Butterscotch {beatboxer}".  I had been thinking either "Butterscotch (entertainer)" or "Butterscotch (performer)".  Anyone have any thoughts on what the page should be named, or objections to renaming it at all? - TexasAndroid 14:46, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that 'Butterscotch (performer)' sounds good. I was actually thinking about creating the article with that name. I just wasn't sure, so I went with (singer) instead, hoping that someone would suggest a more appropriate title. --Credema 18:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Performer" sounds good. Badagnani 00:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page name 

message: I know that Julienne Irwin was eliminated before Butterscotch, but does that really put butterscotch in the third place or was it just a random elimination out of the three contestants that did not win? That is, was the elimination order based on the number of votes which a contestant received, or was it in no particular order? --Credema 06:11, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that Jerry was referring to the Top Three after Irwin was eliminated, and Top Two after Butterscotch was eliminated, I'm pretty sure that the elimination order was not random, but did indeed reflect the voting results. - TexasAndroid 11:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Third place? 

message: Butterscotch played a minor role as a beatboxing taxi driver in Helge Schneiders 2013 film "00Schneider - Im Wendekreis der Eidechse" (transl. 00Schneider - In the Tropic of Lizard).

Talk:Undergraduate gowns in Scotland

message: Several edits over the years have changed the caption for the Dundee gown to a St Andrew's gown. While the colouring in the image is poor, it is clearly a blue yoke rather than maroon. And, as the uploader of the original photograph, I can certainly assure contributors of the accuracy of the caption. --Breadandcheese (talk) 01:42, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Dundee gown

message: That's a poor citation based on a student's review of his university:In the summer, you often see Japanese tourists getting their cameras out in the hope of catching some St Andrews students strolling through in their striking red undergraduate gowns. Apparently they are such a bright red as this was originally to deter students from entering brothels! The wording takes this as fact when even the student qualified it with  'apparently' . Suggest the editor find a better source.  Rgds, --Bill Reid | Talk 16:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:LGBT rights in Myanmar

message: The section "criminal code" states that, given the current political climate, a change to repeal Section 377 is unlikely.  This statement was added in September 2007.  However, this assertion is not actually supported by the citation provided, which does nothing more than provide the text of Section 377.
Nine years later, it's easy to say that this statement was accurate, but it may be problematic to identify a clearly neutral source that can support whether or not this is true at the current time.  Perhaps the statement should just be changed to state that the law has not been repealed in spite of the efforts of particular groups advocating for such a change. Fabrickator (talk) 07:03, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The text seems to quote the law, but is not marked as a quotation. The wording seems strange. Does section 377 really read "Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse with any man, woman or animal..."? That would outlaw heterosexual intercourse. I found another version that has "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" (whatever that is supposed to be) Seems more likely but it's from 2004 and not an authoritative source.--92.214.176.241 (talk) 18:59, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Tee hee!  Seven years later and I am back at this article.  I came across this Times of India article about Section 377 (under Indian law).  However India has modified the law, that obviously is independent of Myanmar's current version of Section 377. Fabrickator (talk) 04:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

--75.172.93.132 (talk) 10:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is thinly-sourced, and instead contains what appear to be reminiscences of viewers.  To make it encyclopedic, I am removing several large phrases that express deep personal POVs, like "In its day, the show was as central to the popular cultural fabric of Maryland as eating crabs, watching the Orioles, the Colts, and the Preakness, or crossing the Bay Bridge to go to Ocean City on Summer weekends." and "Deane played a more eclectice mix than Dick Clark" KevinCuddeback (talk) 15:38, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ

message: I recently changed this article considerably. I removed a paragraph at the beginning of the article that was copied and pasted from the ALJC website. I added headings to individual sections, and I added various bits of information from the Articles of Faith and the Church Website and I referenced them. References are still needed for the the church numbers, and the information in the "Foreign Missions" section. If the person who added this info could also add references, that would be great.

Talk:Students for Bhopal

message: I recently deleted a lot of material from this page (see my edit), which was restored by another editor (see here).  My reasons for deleting were not arbitrary and remain a concern.  Most of the material is not about the organization "Students for Bhopal" but rather about the disaster itself and the greater response to it.  There are contentious assertions that require independent reliable sources for verification.  And there are links to web pages selling books which aren't even about the Students for Bhopal organization.  This is all inappropriate content for this article.  There is a Bhopal disaster article where some of this information may be more appropriate if it can be adequately sourced and written in a more appropriate tone.   I'm not particularly married to the version I created, but we do need to address these issues.  Is there a better suggestion for a way forward?  -- SiobhanHansa 16:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Loviisa Nuclear Power Plant

message: Source in Polish Polska ("Poland") daily newspaper, (qualifies as a reliable source) my translation of one paragraph :
"The reactors are working - only, somwhere else"
This way the plans to build the nuclear power plant in Żarnowiec were buried forever. With the closure of the building site thousands of expensive instruments ment for the power plant became usless
The majority of them including, two out of four reactors were scrapped. One of the remeining reactors was bought for a symbolic price by a nuclear power plant in the Finish town of Loviisa - where without any breakdowns it is working till today. The second reactor was sent to the Paks Nuclear Power Plant in Hungary"''
But other sources do not agree:
One scientist who writes that he worked at the ŻArnowiec nuclear power plant :
Ofcourse, it is not true that the Loviisa NPP or any other NPP operates an entire nuclear reactor bougt from the Żarnowiec site. But many other impotant elements of the reactor and other nuclear elements, which were bought as "full value" parts to be used in the NPP, may still be used in the Lovissa NPP and other NPPs.
So the entire "Polish reactor" story looks like a Polish urban legend based on some facts. Mieciu K (talk) 21:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
