If Amerigo Vespucci`s account is to be believed, the expedition reached the latitude "South Pole elevation 52º [S]", in the cold latitudes of present day Patagonia, reaching inhospitable seas and shores (or islands), before turning back, but this is still a matter of controversy.

Talk:Miss Marple's Final Cases and Two Other Stories

message: Robert Barnard remarks that the book included stories mainly available in the US prior to this posthumously published collection in the UK. Yet the Publication history section notes only the publication in magazines in the UK, which is confusing. Looking for Strange Jest, I found it was first published in This Week (magazine) in the US, three years before appearing in The Strand in the UK. If I assume that the quote from Barnard is true, then more of the stories had first publication in the US, not listed in the Publication history. I modified the text in the article to reflect first publication as magazine stories in the US, but did not add the magazine to the list under First publication section. This website here lists the stories and has a link for more detail on each story, including first publication in the US, either This Week magazine or Collier's or a similar US magazine. The official Agatha Christie website (the new one or the old one) does not mention the publication in magazines, only in books. Is this website an acceptable source?  --Prairieplant (talk) 18:23, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Mistah Leary – He Dead

message: While what Kurz did was in part characterizable by "going native", it's more important to the characterization that Kurz manipulated the resources of his company and the native culture of his surroundings to assume a position akin to a demigod; this sort of domination is not a normal component of "going native".

Talk:Scott Layden

message: While there are some scattered citations, this article reads poorly. Basic facts about the subject are not mentioned. For example, when and where was he born? As this point the whole thing seems to be about his tenure in New York and not really about him. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 20:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Still, the focus on his tenure with the Knicks seems a little POV to me. He must have held other jobs. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 13:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I was the one who did the research about Layden, and wrote the paragraphs that are shown here. In retrospect some parts of this article do sound POV such as the statement, "Layden's next transaction is considered by fans and basketball analysts as one of the most frivolous contracts in league history." when talking about Allan Houston's contract. But there are many sources out there that can back my statement up, with more research. I tried very hard to be as unbiased as possible, but there is solid evidence that Scott Layden specifically signed/traded for players who were members of his father's former organization the Utah Jazz, with no regard to how absurdly inflated their contracts were or how average the players were. Still, he did hold other jobs and this is only a SECTION of what an article about this man should be, if anyone out there would like to add to this, please do. Rpgman456 16:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ureteral stent

message: It's not necessarily flexible. Rarely, we use metal stents, particularly for malignant obstruction. I have therefore amended this. Jfbcubed 20:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stent flexability 

message: I'm moving the following here from the section at stent on ureteric stents in an effort to streamline that article:
:Indwelling times of 12 months or longer are indicated to hold open ureters which have been compressed by tumors in the neighbourhood of the ureter or by tumors of the ureter itself. In many cases, these tumors are inoperable and the stents are used to ensure drainage of urine through the ureter. If drainage is compromised for longer periods, the kidney can be damaged. The main complications with ureteral stents are dislocation, infection, and blockage by encrustation. Recently, stents with coatings (e.g., heparin) have been approved to reduce infection, encrustation, and, therefore, the frequency of stent replacement.

replies: text: Yes, I meant the lead and what I called block is perhaps more properly called a section. Yes, I would like to remove the positive identifications with John of Kolno and definitive claims regarding his origins, although I'm not talking about removing or editing the historic sources. Presenting identification theories like John of Kolno (Polish) or Jon Skolp (Norwegian/Danish) should be left to a dedicated section, similiar to the speculation section the article has now. I had thought I should add a background section to give some historical background information, but as this is an article about a person perhaps that should be left to the expedition section. The infobox also has to go, I think. It is speculative. I just think the later speculation should be contained to a section where it is clearly presented as later speculation, not dropped in throughout as gospel. -- Nidator T / C 17:07, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Rather, it appeared to be material about Freud's views on religion in general. As interesting as this subject may be, this is not an appropriate article for it. Content that does not specifically address Moses and Monotheism is only indirectly relevant to the topic of the article and may be removed per WP:UNDUE. My removal of your addition was not vandalism.
