Talk:Jane Roe and Richard Roe

message: Hey, what is this all about???
Common Law says that we have the right to face our accusers; all of them. So how is it that Richard Roe is the name of an "unnamed plaintiff"???
:Anonymity is used to sheild the litigant's identity from the public, not from the defendent. For example, the defendent in Roe v. Wade was Wade County. -- MiguelMunoz 08:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Wade was NOT Wade county. It was Henry Wade, the District Attorney of Dallas County. If you go to the article on Roe vs Wade it would tell you that. Henry Wade also has the claim to fame of being involved with the Jack Ruby trial for the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald as I believe it. Please research facts before posting information.--Kirkoconnell 23:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

message: To the question why use such names when you have to face your accusor, the answer is simple.
In cases where the plantif or defendant are either unknown or would face undue public or crimial backlash, the names are changed to protect them.
Mostly for Doe's, a co-defendant could be charged with a crime and their identity may not be known and ergo the government is forced to refer to them by the name Doe.
As for Roe, plantifs can also be unknown, like in video cases where someone is burnt alive. They may not be identified but if a crime is witnessed they can be listed, but in most of these case the government would be the plantif anyway.
Roe is mostly to protect people from blacklash, as was the case for Roe vs Wade. If the identity was known at the time, death threats and possible attacks would have surely endangered Jane's life and therefore ruin any case.

thread_title:  Why the use of "Roe" and "Doe"? 

message: I had always read that, in Roe v Wade, they used the name "Jane Roe" not because she was a plaintiff, but because there was already another active case in the works with an anonymous litigant known as "Jane Doe." Does anybody have more info? -- MiguelMunoz 08:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The Boy Scout Club of Barre, Vermont

message: The Girl Scout Council of Vermont covers all of Vermont except parts of eastern Vermont. There are 60 towns in eastern Vermont that belong to the 50-year-old (in 2008) Girl Scouts of Swift Water Council, headquartered in Bedford, New Hampshire, but with several other regional offices, and serving girls throughout NH and eastern Vermont. Although Girl Scouting has been in NH for 94 years, 50 years ago several councils merged to form Swift Water Council, named for the fast-running Connecticut River which runs between Vermont and NH.
This will all be just a part of history in 2009, when Girl Scout Council of Vermont and Girl Scouts of Swift Water Council merge to form one new council, part of a nationwide "realignment" process of Girl Scouts of the USA (of which we are chartered organizations)to streamline operations and open up more opportunities and choices for Girl Scouts. Under rules from GSUSA, the girls themselves will come up with ideas for a new council name and vote on it.
Girl Scouts of Swift Water Council has almost 14,000 girls in NH and eastern VT, who are supported by 4,200 trained and dedicated volunteers. The mission of GSSWC is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. See www.swgirlscouts.org for more information, and to find updates on the realignment process as it occurs. 75.68.59.255 (talk) 00:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Dmitry Pozharsky

message: Is it possible that the death date was the 20th and not the 30th? I quote from an email to the helpdesk:
:"The date of death of  Dmitry Mikhaylovich Pozharsky (Russian: ???´???? ????´?????? ????´?????, Polish: Dymitr Pozarski) (November 1, 1578 - April 30, 1642) may be stated incorrectly.  I have a photograph of a memorial in the Suzdal/Vladimir region of Russia which doesn't state a name but shows the following dates surrounding the profile of the head of a helmeted man:  1.11.1578 and 20.4.1642.  This is presumably a memorial to Dmitry Pozharsky. --Christopher (John Christopher Hall, [Jr.])"

thread_title:  Stable Hill 

message: This article needs more non-plot information. If anyone should be inclined to work on that, here are some secondary sources to use which came up in the deletion discussion:
*A Guide Through Narnia:P. 214 has plot summary and 3 sentences of analysis, linking the Stone Table to paganism (and similar symbols in another of Lewis' books) and the veil in the temple. In additon, p. 159-160 has three paragraphs, linking it to Old Testament Law and how it has to be overcome for salvation in Lewis' Christian world-view ("the Stone Table will crack ... What a marvelously succicnt expression of New Testament message of..."). P. 165: comparison with the communion table, + more plot summary from Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is not yet in the article.
* The Good Guys and the Bad Guys - Teachable Moments in the Chronicles of Narnia: Also relates it to the veil in the temple, but goes beyond A Guide Through Narnia in explaining its symbolism. Compares it to the stone that rolled away from the tomb at the Resurrection of Christ. "On a yet deeper level", like A Guide.., compares it to the Law, but more specifically the Tablets of Stone and what that signifies. And in just one sentence compares it to the cross.
*HISTORIOPHOTY IN THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE: Linking it to Golgotha
*The A-Z of C.S. Lewis, a better source for the word origin, already present in the article.
*: Association with "white magic".
*: Technical treatment in the movie.
*Copley News Service
*Virtually Sacred: Myth and Meaning in World of Warcraft and Second Life about a different but definitely related Aslan's How.

thread_title:  History source? 

message: Recently an edit to the word "Naufracia" in the article's rendition of the town motto was undone by "Ajd". The reasoning for the undo was..."more likely that the image of the town seal is low-resolution than that the town motto contains a misspelled Latin word. "Naufragia" is correct." I would suggest that edits should be undone only on the basis of thorough research rather than "more likely". Although the spelling with a "g" is correct modern Latin, the town of Sandwich chose to use the ancient Latin spelling with a "c". My family has resided in the town of Sandwich since it's founding in 1637, being directly descended from both Edmond Freeman and Benjamin Nye. We are quite familiar with the history of the town seal, the motto and the correct spelling of the Latin used therein. One can refer to "Sandwich, A Cape Cod Town" by R.A. Lovell, jr. or simply visit the Sandwich town hall to confirm that "Naufracia" is the correct spelling.Sandfree (talk) 15:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I was surprised to find that the History section made no mention of the Boston & Sandwich Glass Factory, a major economic force for the town in the 19th Century.

If it warrants expansion, I think a page on Deming Jarves would be good?
I also see the discussion about the early part of the history. I like lrsears proposed revision and would support it. 
I do have a question about the motto. I know that the seal has the Latin motto, but as a former resident I remember being taught in school that the motto is "The Oldest Town on Cape Cod". Should that be incorporated somehow? What would be a good method to determine what's proper to cite?

Talk:Far East Council

message: I don't know what better title to give this. I was in Far East Council for two years as a scout back in the 1980s. I was always a little confused as to why Far East Council included the Philippines and Thailand when it did not include Hong Kong, which is close to the Far East Council Headquarters in Japan. This has gotten even wierder with the addition of Singapore without adding Malaysia.
Was the original basis for Far East Council *only* those countries where there were troops run by the US Military as part of the BSA presence in the area? This would seem to cover the six in question. (The US Military having had larger presences in Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines in the past than today). I don't think the BSA units in Singapore are US Military run. 
Any ideas?
:I think it has to do with how closely-allied a nation or political entity is. For instance, Indonesia is also part of the DSC. Because HK was someday to be taken over by the mainland Chinese, I think that is why it was left out.
:: I guess that's sort of close, because only a strong ally would have had a military presence. But I don't think HK beging taken over would have been an issue when the council was formed in the 1940s. I wonder if Vietnam was in FEC in the early 1950s... Naraht 08:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Boondoggle (disambiguation)

message: Boondoggle as a slang term applies to a state of work or activity; It may refer to a meaningless job or position that pays money not justified for valueless results gleaned from the activity; Services or activity performed that have no commercial value. Example: "The state department of human affairs is a boondoggle". The positions granted are particularly given to friends, relatives or to people possibly as payment for favors given to a ruling polititian. Relating to a physical plastic boondoggle product, this term also could describe the result of a mindless activity, one that has a series of repetative motions and the finished product has little use or value. It's only purpose for existance is to show that a person was involved in a project to create it, everyone wants to know what it is used for, and nobody can explain it's use because it has no use;  A task of no value given to a person for the sole purpose of assigning a task to consume a persons time. Maybe the name was adopted as a slang term because of what the actual plastic boondoggle represents. Boondoggle making is a task or activity assigned to boy scouts for the sole purpose of keeping them occupied with a quiet project. Weaving a boondoggle for an hour or two at the direction of a scoutmaster keeps the boys quietly occupied perhaps to allow the scoutmaster a break from dealing with rowdy or unruly behavior.Arniewolfe 01:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
