Talk:Kunio Yanagita

message: I added a link to an external article about Yanagita Kunio at the bottom of the page, in hopes that it'll help in expanding this stub.  I'd suggest adding a few more of his works at the end, especially ones that have been translated and published in English.  Also I'd like the article to mention a little more about 1. his interest in literature (especially Naturalism and his friendship also with Mori Ogai and Kunikida Doppo), 2. his intellectual influences (kokugaku and western ethnology, for example), 3. his key ideas (other than "the common people" (jomin)), and 4. his legacy (including his students and the subsequent "Yanagita booms" in the 1930s and again in the 1960s among left-leaning Japanese intellectuals.  I'll wait for a while to see if anyone has any suggestions/critiques. --tak 14:18, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

message: the olive ridley sea turtle is an endangered species so if you kill one it is illegal and you can go to jail. It has a interesting shaped shell because it's almost like a mountain.

Talk:Gay beat

message: I created the article, and I don't think it should be moved to public sex because it describes a specific type of public sex (the other article is too general), using a specific word that is likely to be typed into the search bar (beat) if someone was looking for information. I created the article because I searched WP for 'beat' in this context but nada. 
To my knowledge, the word 'beat' used in this context is less common anywhere else ('cruising ground' seems far more common in the US and UK), and in Australia is the only word used to describe these places. So, I think public sex should link to this article, but it should remain distinct. I also intend to expand on it (hence the {stub}) when I've got time to do some more research.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Acetic Acid 2

message: In full realization that I will be accused of being the "anti-Fun" police, I am moving the extraneous material from the RFA here.  Please bear in mind that, despite the fact that we are very open and flexible at Wikipedia, it is important to maintain a degree of integrity in the adminship process.
Once a nomination has been made, others who support the nomination are invited to place messages supporting the nomination in the "support" section.  They do not belong in the nomination section, no matter how heartfelt they may be and regardless of whether the person expressing support would perhaps have liked to nominate the user in question themselves, or for that matter jointly with another user.
I have also moved some "oppose" votes here that were made in jest and later retracted when it became clear that there was genuine opposition.  This has detracted from the clarity and seriousness of the process, and while adminship may still be "no big deal," it something that is deserving of a degree of respect.
In light of the fact that other irritating RFA trends have started out as isolated incidents and then become running (and tiresome) jokes, I am removing these in the hope that future RFAs will be treated with the respect they are due.

message: Cut from article (with reluctance):
:The article drew criticism from advocates who thought the concept of totalitarianism was being used to tar the far Left with the same brush as the far Right (see Cold War).
I don't know what this means. Probably because the political spectrum terms are so hard to pin down. 
Kirkpatrick wasn't saying Hitler (far right) was better than Stalin (far Left). Both were pretty bad, weren't they? I'll have to find a copy of her article - not just an on-line review of it to check - but I think both Nazism and Communism qualify for Kirkpatrick's neologism "totalitarianism". The Merriam-Webster definition of "fascism" mentions:
*the forcible suppression of all opposition; and,
*the regimentation of society
(That's from memory, so let's check www.m-w.com later.)
Kirkpatrick wasn't saying that ALL left-leaning regimes were bad, and that EVERY right-leaning regimes (whatever "right" means) are good. Was she? Uncle Ed 17:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
