message: I have removed the following text from the article as some is based off of an obvious bias, and some is the author's personal opinion.
"These drunk idiots are currently beefing with D4L over the snap dance, Franchise Boy member Buddie says that their career is over either way if D4L takes over the snap dance or they run out of dances to invent. He then states for that reason the whole south rap is done if people can't put their heads together and come up with a new dance for the world.
Dem Franchize Boyz, a foursome, is comprised of Jizzing on Men, Partying In The Shower, Pimping Male Groupies and Budweiser. All four artists are from the Westside of Atlanta, where they sold their bodies on the street, just to make ends meet. The group was formed while they contracted AIDS from reasons unknown as of yet.
In May 2006, they collaborated with An Actual Artist, someone who must have been stupid to even collaborate with them, on the urban remix of her hit single "Say Somethin'". The remix single will also have video, along with the single's digital release on June 20, 2006. The remix was produced by Jermaine Dupri."

Talk:Weighting curve

message: Despite my objection to merging two good pages have been reduced to one article of nonsense. The title of this article is 'Weighting Curve', not 'A-Weighting', and as such it should say what a weighting curve is. Does someone out there think that the A in A-Weighting is the indefinite article or what? A-weighting is just one of a set of curves in an acoustics standards document. A weighting curve is any weighting curve, and weighting curves exist for everything from sun exposure to gamma radiation, as was originally made clear. It's like merging 'car' with 'Morris Minor'! A-weighting is just one example of a weighting curve, but a weighiting curve is not A-weighting. I don't know how to put this back - anyone able to restore the original pages? --Lindosland 13:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This page is now nonsense, as a result of merging two pages 

message: I've now reconstructed this page and A-weighting to overcome my objections above. Recognising that the temptation to merge might have originated partly from the fact that the A-weighting page actually described B,C and D weighting too, I have attempted to clarify this fact on the new A-weighting page, where I explain why it would not be appropriate to call it 'A,B,C and D weighting' (no one would search for that!). Nevertheless, that page is specifically about a set of acoustics weightings only, and this page is about weighting curves in general, which can apply to many areas. --Lindosland 15:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The article mentions "sweep tapping" as Romeo's trademark technique. There's indeed a technique that could be called "sweep tapping" - which means just extending sweeps with an additonal tap or taps. Maybe Romeo does that too, but this "sweep tapping" name is often used for his tapped string skipping arpeggios. It may sound like sweeping because both are used for arpeggios, but as a technique it is completely different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.120.63 (talk) 16:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  2005/2006 Leadership Discussion 

message: Whilst the page is now under protection, I would strongly recommenend that the section pertaining to the 2007 tutorship appointments be completely re-edited, if not removed entirely. The article is unnecessarily POV and holds no relevant facts as to the history of Burgmann College, which is arguably what this page is intended for. Speculation and what "many students" believe about the capacities of the principal are unneccesary for a description of Burgmann College and its history, and the lack of substantiated evidence speaks volumes for the editor's personal opinions. To abuse the service of Wikipedia in a way to give voice to the "rumours" that the editor wishes to make known discredits not only Burgmann College, but the Wikipedia community in general. -- LordVader06, 28/10/06 15:11
:I agree in relation to the 2007 tutorship section; it should be removed.  I do not agree that ALL of the 2005/06 section is non-NPOV (see my comments above) but parts of it are in breach and should be removed. Stan Hope 11:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I echo these sentiments. The entire 2007 section (and really the 2005/06 section) is an overblown POV. I should say, I agree with a lot of it, but it is simply against everything that Wikipedia is to include rumours and evident spite, particularly in an article which - to my mind - is already pretty questionable in its existence. 150.203.236.178 05:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think the 2005/2006 section is reasonable as most of it at this point refers to real events or at least reasonable speculation about a past event that is quite important in the college history. The 2007 section is silly as it is far more POV and there is no point in a Wikipedia article having dubious speculation about the future (only references to past event). In addition it drags in criticisms of people who cannot reasonably be said to have chosen a public position in which they must endure public scrutiny. --komencanto 12:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Kom people (Cameroon)

message: Nice to see a Kom article.
Since there should be No Original Research in Wikipedia, some references should be added (like oficial publications of Cameroon, Maps, historical and geographical books and the like). A separate article about the Kom language should be added, referenced from here. There are lots of language articles in Wikipedia setting a standard for how this should be done.
I have removed the term "tribe". The term "tribe" is often used when refering to Africans, as well as the term "dialect" when referring to African languages. This is wrong! I regard this to be racist terminology (I don't imply the author of this page was a racist, it is just a bad habit). Try using it on Europeans thaan you will see how funny it sounds: "The Germans are a large tribe in northern europe. They speak a dialect belonging to the germanic language family...".

message: I removed the following sentences from the article:
:"Kettles were also available in various sizes, ranging up to those holding several gallons. Filled with sand or water, these too could be used for training. When athletes started making purpose-built equipment, they also kept the name."
They were apparently about the similar etymology of the word "kettlebell" (even though the word "kettlebell" itself was never actually used). I replaced the removed sentences with the following sentence:
:"The  etymology of the word "kettlebell" is similar." 
If the etymology of the word "kettlebell" that I removed is indeed true, perhaps it should be added to the Kettlebell Wikipedia article instead. SoccerMan2009 (talk) 06:59, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: In his book From Babel to Dragomans,  Bernard Lewis explains as follows:
:Here we have an early form of what later, in English, came to be called 'dragoman'. A meturgeman is a translator; the word is very old, and goes back to Assyrian, where ragamu means to speak, rigmu is a word and the taf'el form indicates one who facilitates communication. This word meturgeman, also turgeman, passed from Aramaic to Hebrew, to Arabic, to Turkish, to Italian, to French, to English, and many other languages. It occurs in Italian in the form turcimanno, no longer used in modern Italian. In French it becomes truchement, in English, dragoman and drogman. The Hebrew word Targum is from the same root.

message: The final sentence of the opening paragraph of the "rebec" article ends with a dubious assertion. This sentence reads: "Played on the arm or under the chin, the technique and tuning may have influenced the development of the violin and the extended technique of banjo." [emphasis added] This is not supported by the literature and, frankly, makes no sense. The rebec was a Medieval European instrument and the banjo was developed in North America at least a century after the rebec had died out. On top of this, it is unclear what would constitute "extended technique" for the banjo.

Talk:Hinokio

message: "Hinokio" appears to be a 2005 Japanese film featuring a young boy with an unspecified, possibly contagious illness (Ali McGraw Syndrome, perhaps?) and his friendship with a robot, who embodies the sympathy and courage that his schoolmates lack.  The theme is familiar enough in Japanese cinema: humans need tech to teach them to be more human.  Therein lies the importance of the film, as an example of an idea that, right or wrong, has shaped much of 21st century Japanese culture.  However, the first post's claim that "Hinokio" is an "ass cast" is much more intriguing.
"Hinokio" promotional website - http://www.hinokio-movie.com/trailer.html
:Not too sure about the illness, but it's not contagious.  Just bad things have happened to him recently, and he's essentially become a recluse.  Luckily his father is still there and very loving of him (though he has trouble expressing this at first) and gives him a robot with which he can recommunicate with the world.  There's not really a 'friendship' between Hinokio and Satoru, because Hinokio is Satoru, as he "pilots" the robot from his room.  So the kid-robot-friendship theme wouldn't apply.  The movie instead is about someone rediscovering his feelings and being able to put a tragic past behind him.  --Crisu 07:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The fact that a landlord is basing someones credit score on weather they rent to them or not; Is not only discrimination but also none of a landlords business. Thats the risk they take as a landlord. fact is is that sometimes people Loose their jobs or get sick and can't pay their rent.  Life happens and that s the reality of being a landlord. But for landlord s to openly discriminate against a potential renter based on becoming score is only morally wrong but technically It's illegal, yet somehow they are getting away with it and one seems to care or are completely unaware that it discrimination. This needs to change and it need s to change now! And if anyone has been affected or denied a rental has to reported to the human rights tribunal and bring it to justice. Bottom line your not applying for credit or a loan or mortgage or a car loan. Your applying to RENT a housing unit.
