Talk:Windham County, Vermont

message: NaCo is incorrect in its 1779 date. 1779 is when Vermont was created with 2 counties (Cumberland and Bennington). In 1781, Cumberland was split into three, including Windham. Is there any other source that corroborates 1779? The 1781 date is confirmed by several history books (     ) --Polaron | Talk 03:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, Vermont was created with Cumberland and Bennington in 1779. In 1781, Cumberland was split into three counties, Orange, Windsor, and Windham. BUT Windham(former Cumberland) was not re-created, but rather renamed in 1781, and its creation date is the same as Cumberland's. That's what I got from NACo.--Crzycheetah 03:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

text: The fourth link that you provided, also talks about Windham being renamed rather than created. So, some say 1779, while others say 1781. I think we need to state that in both articles.--Crzycheetah 03:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Couldn't we equally say that Orange or Windsor was Cumberland renamed?  Overwhelming weight of the sources provided here seems to say that Windham was newly created, or that Cumberland is extinct — are there any other sources that support the renaming idea?

replies: text: I don't think we could say that because the formation year for both Orange and Windsor is 1781, I have not seen any other year anywhere. As for Windham, , , , , and  state that the county was formed in 1779(the same year Cumberland was formed).

Talk:Clackamas County, Oregon

message: Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
I noticed the "History" section described neighboring Washington County as "ruling-class" and then went on to strongly imply that Clackamas is a stronghold of conservatism.  The implication was easily taken further to imply that Clackamas is in a kind of political revolt over the elitists next door.  I did a quick reword, but a complete rewrite would be more appropriate.  I also checked the facts, and income levels between the two counties are virtually indistinguishable.  In fact, Clackamas has a HIGHER per capita income by $1,000 and a poverty level nearly a full percentage point below Washington's for the general population (see "Demographics" on both counties' pages).  Calling Washington "ruling-class" is the stupidest, most idiotic thing I've read in quite some time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scamper (talk • contribs) 05:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Wu resigned in Aug 2011, are we just waiting till the special election in Jan 2012 to change this?
Also, under Tourism just what qualifies as an "attraction"?
The Columbia River Maritime Museum is a small museum by "city" standards and Fort Clatsop qualifies as an attraction that likely has national awareness but this neglects other features likely to be known to the world at large like the end of the Lewis and Clark national hiking trail and the western end of the TransAmerica Trail for bicycles as well as The Goonies filming location (among many other films) in favor of mentioning locations that probably only benefit from the proximity to the beach and Portland/Salem as well as ignoring tourism events like the Hood to Coast marathon, Fisher Poets fest or similar.
Not trying to be a jerk but I doubt "Uppertown" Astoria has any play outside of Astoria much less a national or world attraction for it's firefighter museum or 2.5 mile trolley line...
I mean, not even a mention of the Column?
Odd...
Can I change this w/o ticking folks off?

thread_title: Resolution on Zionism

message: At the conference, Yasser Arafat interpreted the Arab-Israeli conflict in terms of racism:
... We hope that the Conference will be a major historical turning point in the world to rid us of all forms of racism. Palestine is tormented by racial discrimination, occupation, aggression and settlements. I hope this Conference will say what is right in the face of the bloody tragedy which is a racist, colonialist conspiracy of aggression, forced eviction, usurpation of land and infringement upon the Christian and Islamic holy places. This conspiracy has thwarted all international instruments. The Government of Israel has usurped our rights, land and natural resources, and taken over Christian and Muslim holy sites. They have stolen our water. They have made refugees of many of our people and prevented their return. ... Our people face the most intense military campaign of a Government that insists on a military solution. This brutality and arrogance are moved by a supremacist mentality that practices racial discrimination, that adopts ethnic cleansing and transfer, and that protects the daily attacks carried out by the settlers against our people. Our tortured people, faced with the harsh treatment, looks at the Conference to stand by us. The continuing acts of racial discrimination call for a strong support for our people in its legitimate struggle for an independent state with Al-Quds as its capital and the right of return for our refugees. We still look forward to the return to the path of peace and to achieve these legitimate goals with a just, comprehensive and lasting peace for all the people of the region. 
I'm not sure what he means by a "supremacist mentality" on the part of Israelis  running a Jewish state, that does not apply tenfold to Arabs running Islamic states. Is he saying that all states in the Middle East should stop discriminating? Or is he saying that Israel alone discriminates? --Ed Poor

message: Much of this dicussions deals not with a word but more like an anti-statement made by people who find out that they themselves deal with the proposition but are not targeted by the proponent.

message: I'm on the Wikipedia typo team and trying to eliminate duplications of the word 'the'.  Most are routine or because of an interposed link.  This one is a little different.
However, it is *not* correct to duplicate or repeat the definite article 'the' when it precedes 'The Dalles' or any other name, title, or term with 'the' in its name.  We sing The Star-Spangled Banner, not the The Star-Spangled Banner.  New York City is comprised of the Bronx, New York, Kings, Queens, and Richmond counties, not the The Bronx, New York, Kings, Queens, and Richmond counties.  (People also go to the Bronx Zoo, not the The Bronx Zoo.)  South Holland contains the Hague metropolitan area and other areas, not the The Hague metropolitan area.  And Wasco County is properly comprised of the Dallas Micropolitan Statistical Area, not the The Dalles Micropolitan Statistical Area.
And for amusement, see The The Dalles, OR?, written a bunch of years ago.  It doesn't give an answer, but I bring it up because the writer works for the New York Times – not the The New York Times.

message: "Washington county has been a stronghold of the Republican Party, who have consistently registered a majority of voters as members ever since its creation, despite Washington County's evolution from a farming economy to a suburb of Portland."
The above statement is POV and needs to be re-worked if it is to be included. The term stronghold is a value judgement that does not fit in with WP:NPOV, and honestly really is not that correct. As a long time Republican registered and voting many times in elections in the county (not in three years now) I know that GOP registered voters did outnumber Dems in 1994 when I covered the primary for a civics project. But it was a small majority. Further, the fact that Dems keep representing the County in Congress (Wu the Klingon man to Furse to Aucoin) would tend to disprove any stronghold (and yes, I know WaCo is not the only county in the 1st district). So if you want some sort of GOP v. Dems thing, make a section Political Affiliations, and make some charts with sourced numbers, and just the facts, no POV. Aboutmovies 05:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
