thread_title:  Use by the axis to trick allied anti aircraft. 

message: Just noticed that at the end of the article it links the Z symbol to the Eastern Military District, should it not be the Western district? The Z is for ‘zapad’ (запад) meaning west and the V for ‘Vostok’ (восток) meaning east! I could be wrong though! 2A00:23C8:5512:FB01:401B:9F8:D23A:84E9 (talk) 17:56, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Russian ‘Z’ symbol 

message: Content cut as 'not invasion stripes,' notably from Russian invasions in Czechoslovakia and Ukraine have been restored to Identification friend or foe under a new heading for low tech systems. I may edit the heading to highly visible painted markings, or something similar. I would still argue that if you want to cut Czech and Ukraine you should cut everything from the cold war as well, as invasion stripes specifically referred to the D-Day invasion.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bridges and Tunnels/Assessment

message: Thanks for starting this, although I don't agree with the suggestion that "important" relates to "famous" or "well-known". I think there are some bridges not at all well-known (e.g. the Trezzo sull'Adda Bridge) but which are very important historically or technologically, and which merit good articles. Also, there is a need to cover articles about bridge-related topics other than bridges e.g. :Category:Bridge engineers, and the importance system should reflect this. -- Kvetner 19:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Siege of Calcutta

message: In the section "First Wars," the first sentence was originally a sentence fragment, whose parentheses included that the French created and spread this rumor.  This claim was unreferenced and a bit wordy, so I removed it.  If anybody finds a truthful reference, they can add this claim back with a reference.  -BlueCaper (talk) 14:32, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: French creating British-invasion-of-Bengal rumor: Unreferenced, so Removed

message: The article directly attributes fault to the Nawab of Bengal, characterizing him as rash/impetuous/scheming/unjust in his actions against a colonizing force, further framing the British as passive/reactors to aggression/victims.

text: *And to answer your question left on my talk page, I would consider someone uses an essay that's not even a guideline, much less policy, as reason to invalidate votes in an AfD to be Wikilawyering in spirit, if not by the literal definition.

Talk:Nuclear Regulatory Commission

message: The controversy section says in general that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is not tough enough on the Nuclear power industry. I can't help but suggest that this is blatantly unbalanced and omits most information and points that could be contrary to whatever narrative the author(s) wanted to portray about the NRC and Nuclear Energy. There has not been a "Major"(as in damaged the health, not threatened the health, of thousands of people, like the Chernobyl accident, for example) accident in United States history. One might say Three Mile Island was, but scholarly and official findings disagree. Since the Nuclear Regulatory commission is responsible for all nuclear power plants in the United States, this shows an amiable track record that is not reflected in the article. Rather, it seems to be a mouthpiece for anti-nuclear rhetoric which is  supported by predominantly anti-nuclear sources. For example, the Union of Concerned Scientists is cited extensively, even though its starkly anti-nuclear. According to a Harvard University analysis,  Nuclear Energy poses much less danger and has caused less death than all other forms of electricity generation. This article seems to focus in on potential risks of "slacking" by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, despite the fact that because of the Nuclear industry's strict regulation, the United States has shut down a sizeable number of Nuclear plants and not a single major accident has taken place.
Therefore, I propose redoing the Controversy Section, first by shrinking it to remove redundant points and text, and then adding a PRO-nuclear point of view to make the section more neutral. For example, the section could discuss the role of the NRC in failing to act appropriately in communicating what was happening during Three Mile Island. Another point could be raised about the NRC's role in the Nuclear Industry's decline. Before making a change this big(I'm a new contributor), I'd like to know what other contributors think.

Talk:Piaroa people

message: This article contradicts itself throughout.  Top section reports that the Piaroa do not murder each other, but the bottom section talks about what happens when they do.  I'm inclined to believe the bottom section, but it has no citations while the top does.  Are they the idealized egalitarian society of the top section or the human but probably more egalitarian than most society of the bottom section.  Citations for the bottom section and a tempering of the introduction would greatly help this article. Mertseger (talk) 23:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

text: I have now read the section in its entirety. If you read the section, you will see that some lines contradict grossly the account of the anthopologist referenced here.

message: In this article "canceled" is defined as, in general, a show that gets its plug pulled because of poor ratings. But then we have links to pages listing shows canceled in various years. The 2009 page lists Lost as having been "canceled."

Talk:The Witch House

message: Why does the caption call the house the "Roger Williams house" when it was Jonathan Corwin who lived there? Ljosa 12:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: It should be prominent in the article that locals and tourists alike routinely refer to the nearby "Witch Museum" as the "Witch House", although it is actually an old church with no connection to the events of the time (and not even a museum, really).  Many of us call the real one the "Corwin House" as a result.
I'd even add a link for the Museum's wiki, despite how tacky/inauthentic the place is.  Or perhaps a disambiguation page a la "Witch House - (2) a colloquial name for the Salem Witch Museum".  The two are inextricably linked in local speech.  66.105.218.38 (talk) 07:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I could put a number of tags on this but people don't seem to like the tags. I guess they have been used as a weapon of revenge too often. Right away I noticed the extensive plagiarism, but I am not sure who is plagiarizing whom. The article quotes large chunks of the web site without attribution. That site is given as a reference but the reference section is improperly formatted. Regardless of who copied whom, the web site is not an encyclopedic reference. There are no encyclopedic references. One of those refs sells the Witch House without giving us any info. I promised to look into the houses but I am not going to undertake the rest of it, at least not in the near future. This paper gets an F.

thread_title:  bad link 

message: I have removed the following sentence from the lead section:
From this talk page it appears there has previously been controversy about this statement, so I wanted to explain my thinking. 
The key issue with this statement is that it is unsourced. To the extent that editors may have added the statement based on their
own experiences as users of Perseus, that would constitute original research (with possible WP:NPOV issues).
For the article to contain any statement about Perseus' availability, it must be based on published reliable sources.
An additional concern is undue weight. This was previously the fourth sentence of the lead, coming before such basic information
as the scope of Perseus' collections. If sufficient sources do exist, it would probably be more appropriate to discuss availability in a 
section later in the article.

The text certainly makes it sound like Wharton's absence from the race was a direct response to Marimon's accident; I'm open to correction but nothing I've found has suggested it and a source would be good.
