thread_title: Cleanup

message: If there is some reason this word/concept applies almost entirely just to the UK, the article should say so.  Otherwise, it needs much less detail about the UK, and much more info about the rest of the world -- and more discussion about the evolution of the concept over the centuries.-69.87.204.41 22:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I have edited the article to clarify that the amount walked is the equivalent of vertical feet. Otherwise, it sounds like they walk at an easy pace for less than an hour.

thread_title:  earliest and latest dates 

message: We're told in the lead that 
: These devices are no longer used for power or punishment...
and i usually try to avoid  in the lead. But that reflects many colleagues' preference for keeping reading of the lead as effortless as feasible, and the ease of documenting facts mentioned in the lead indirectly, later on, by referring to (if not necessarily repeating) the fact again in a later section, often where the same source needs mention in discussing consequences of the fact.   In this case there are IMO three reasonable end-points:
# Mention something, later in the article, e.g. dates when legislation or explicit policy effected each of those cessations of use in some major regions, with a reference or refs that verify both the bare fact and some dates
# Find a source we agree is reliable in spite of it not itself providing more detail. (I'm imagining the UK's Inspector of Gaols and Prisons, in her memoirs, saying her personal inspections were thoro enuf that she would have found them, but they'd clearly been destroyed before she complete her first full tour.)
# Cite reliable evidence that they were used somewhere, and a reliable source who's failed in the effort to find any specific end date.
I don't consider omitting mention of either or both of those uses reasonable, and i do consider keeping my noref tag in the lead secn indefinitely to be reasonable (but not an end-point).--Jerzy•t 04:01, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Vineyard Church of Columbus

message: Hello,
I have made some bold edits here in a neutral point of view (NPOV) ( I hope). It would be ideal for this article (in a neutral format such as Wikipedia) to appeal and be read by all kinds of people without being a platform for proclamation of a certain perspective. I have attempted to both put Vineyard theology in context of mainstream Christian belief and also to highlight its strengths. If you find that my deletions are too critical, please comment and we can discuss. I did attend this church for several years but I do not claim to be an expert. All the best.Brian0324 19:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

message: A little over a year ago, I merged the relevant content of this article into the article on Rich Nathan. This article as it stands does not pass the notability requirements for Wikipedia (see WP:NOTE). So, unless the notability of this church can be demonstrated outside of its notable pastor (who already has an article), I propose that the redirect be restored because the article on Nathan contains info about the church.Brian0324 (talk) 14:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

At the risk of having a discussion with myself on this - I'm not sure that that is enough to establish notability for a church.

thread_title: Legal origin of the regions?

message: There was recently a change in the areas of the regions listed in the article. The previous source was . The current source is the 2006 Census, which writes this:
*Land area is the area in square kilometres of the land-based portions of standard geographic areas.Land area data are unofficial, and are provided for the sole purpose of calculating population density.
The Census data are consistently higher, and the difference is too big to be explained by errors in measurement. The fact that every number is higher in the federal data makes it unlikely that that it's a matter of boundary changes. Is it possible that land-based is intended to convey that coastal waters, etc., are excluded, but that lakes and rivers are included? Joeldl 08:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
