Talk:Sidney Poitier

message: I question if its accurate to say Poitier was a 'major star' during the Golden Age of Hollywood (which would be the 30s to the 50s). Not really. He was definitely a major star in 1958 with The Defiant Ones but primarily his major status era was the 1960s onwards. 2607:FEA8:5CA1:8F40:FC88:61B9:29F9:AF4E (talk) 20:33, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Unsure how to reply to this feed so I’m just going to have to edit and hope you don’t mind reading it like this — The American Film Institute recognise Poitier as as of the Top 25 Actors of Classical Hollywood Cinema (aka. Golden Age of Hollywood) so it would be completely wrong to discount this. The same stands for Sophia Loren. She is now the only remaining living person on the list of 50 stars — see here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_100_Years...100_Stars — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradonwiki (talk • contribs) 14:59, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

I dug a bit and found this 1997 article that clarified that Poitier would not live in Japan but would "act as ambassador from abroad" as the Bahamas does not have an embassy in Japan.

Talk:Land trust

message: Hello,  I found some problems with this article and thought I would contribute my notes to someone who might rework the Land Trust entry.
First, the last sentence of "Community land trusts" doesn't make grammatical sense.  In fact, it's not really clear what the author is trying to say with the sentence at all.  
Where I am doing my research is conservation land trusts.  The author notes that 6.2 million acres of land are held by conservation land trusts.  That's not completely accurate, that number just represents the number of acres held by local and regional conservation land trusts (which is stated in the article he/she cites).
http://www.lta.org/aboutlta/census.shtml
This next article has a few numbers on national conservation land trusts, but speculates that complete and accurate numbers aren't available.

Hope that helps.

Talk:Balance disorder

message: Had a member of the family who had this disorder. Although harmless, it can make you feel very sick. I did some research on treatments, which I hope could save some other families some grief. In one case I know of, the exercises didn't work, as there was a large object in the ear, which "broke off" causing the effects of Vertigo to be there. This was remedied by sluicing one of the ears, and removing the object directly. Wallie 18:07, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Not only this, but in Vertigo and in Dizziness I was wondering if some information can be put on the act of spinning, be it on a chair, on a swingset, or just standing and spinning.

Talk:University of Georgia

message: This part of the article is largely unsourced; the references are only to other lists and don't convey information of encyclopedic value. There are Wikipedia pages which list Greek life at any given university or college; this is not the place for them. I propose deletion. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 06:01, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a British/Australian retired university professor and know little about Greek life in USA universities, but I did, long ago, spent about 5 months at the University of Georgia as a visiting professor so this article is on my watch list. It seems to me that information about Greek life is by its nature very difficult to source well. I therefore agree that anything to do with Greek life should be deleted as having no place on Wikipedia. --Bduke (talk) 07:57, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your comment. I agree. Actually, none of the better Wikipedia pages about universities include lists of Greek life, but you find such lists on a lot of underdeveloped pages. The problem lies in the lack of sourcing but also the lack of truly comprehensive Greek listings and, finally, simply mentioning the name of a fraternity doesn't really contain much solid information. When was the house founded, how man students belong, what role did/does the group play in university life? Those would be the more relevant topics. I will wait a few days and then delete. --Melchior2006 (talk) 13:33, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:New York City/Archive 2

message: I shall bring up once again the issue of the name of this article.  While New York City may not be the official name, it is a much less awkward article title than New York, New York, which is rather silly in any case.  Mexico City's official name translated would be "City of Mexico".  Even more so, Guatemala City is not officially called that (the word "City" or "Ciudad" does not appear in the name of that city).  So far as I am aware, the capital of Panama is simply Panama, but we call it "Panama City".  By the standards of this article, the last two, at least, should be Guatemala, Guatemala and Panama, Panama.  So why not New York City, again? john 08:47, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Talk:William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse

message: Sorry for poor, sketchy English and lack of references, I'm quite tired.
The nature of nebulae was not known in Rosse's time.  Galaxies and galactic and extra-galactic gas clouds were not well distinguished. It was not until he made his observations with the telescope he made (the largest in the world until 1917 when the American 100 inch Hooker telescope at Mt. Wilson Observatory was built) that "spiral nebulae", as they were at first called, were known about. To put this in context: it was not well determined that anything existed outside our own galaxy due to the limitations of contemporary methods of measurement using parallax of stars, and prevailing opinion was that we were near the centre of the galaxy.

Talk:Constantin Brunner

message: It is not strictly correct to call Brunner an assimilationist, as Jayiq does in his most recent edit. Brunner called himself an "emancipationist", meaning that he wanted Jews to abandon outward observances while maintaining their spiritual distinctiveness. I won't revert this, though, because Brunner's careful distinctions can seem insignificant to the unversed, and I don't want to get involved in comparatively trivial disputes. I prefer to leave this to Jayjq's discretion and good will. Barrett Pashak 19:10, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the 1971 Jewish Encyclopedia "As part of his theory of society and the state, Brunner argued for total assimilation of the Jews, and staunchly opposed Zionism."  Obviously the author of that article disagrees with your position.  In any event, abandoning outward observances is assimilation. Jayjg 19:25, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: I cleaned up the page in accordance with the guidelines MOS:DP and WP:Disambiguation. I removed several entries for phrases that contain the word "tom" as part of a larger phrase, such as "TomTom," that nobody would reasonably search for as just "Tom." I removed entries for articles that didn't include any indication that the topic is referred to as "Tom." I removed entries for things that are called "Thomas" instead of "Tom." I also removed the "Famous Toms" list entirely, because there's no criteria for which Toms are "famous" enough to be listed there, and I think there are literally hundreds of people on Wikipedia named Tom who were not currently listed and I'm not going to spend hours of my life compiling a fairly worthless list of people named Tom.

thread_title: A little more context

message: There were a few minor problems with added text (notably these theories are not in the same language as PA, since they cannot have multiplication as a function symbol).
I've also polished the article a bit more, and while it is clearly incomplete, I think it isn't a "cleanup" article any more, so I changed its status to "stub", and I think it doesn't need much work to leave this status.
What needs doing:
* The language of Willard's systems needs to be given formally;
* Solovay's arguments showing totality of varying classes of function leads to the diagonalisation argument needs to be outlined, together with a reconiliation with the pparent contradiction of some of these;
* The construction of the tableau sentence;
* The change in arithmetic complexity between PA and this system should be described (ie. many Pi-0-1 sentences of PA are Pi-0-2 sentences of Willard's system);
* References: JSL paper, FOL75 paper, Solovay's negative results.
Hope to get around to it soon ... ---- Charles Stewart 12:31, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
