Talk:Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act

message: Recently, a new chunk of info regarding China workers in Singapore going on a so-called "illegal strike" has been added, to supposedly give an example of the Act in use. I don't see how this should be included in this article. I'm sure there are many examples of the Act in use; why choose this one? Also, look at the recentism of tis piece of news. Is it historically significant to be added in? Does it have enough due weight? I think not. This article primarily focuses on the act itself. As an alternative, methinks a better way would be to transwiki the part about the China worker illegal strike into Wikinews, and we can hook the Wikinews link somewhere in a "See also" or "Further reading" section. What do you think? Thanks. Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 12:13, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: First off, I have changed the subject heading as it comes across as derogatory and insulting to Chinese nationals. Please avoid using such language. Secondly, I do not see why this particular incident, which has already resulted in one conviction under the Act, should not be used as a very good illustration of the Act in use. The information amply satisfies the ten-year test, which asks: "In ten years will this addition still appear relevant? If I am devoting more time to it than other topics in the article, will it appear more relevant than what is already here?" The information will still be relevant in ten years' time because until this year these provisions of the Act had not been invoked for decades. Moreover, the information, which is only one paragraph long, has not been given excessive emphasis compared to the rest of the article. I feel strongly that it should remain in the article. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 15:55, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  On a related note, I've moved the writeup about the incident to the bottom of that section. Before my edit, it was right smack in the middle of the section's writeup, which is bad structuring. Zhanzhao (talk) 19:26, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I had placed the information after the description of the provisions of the Act under which the workers appeared to have been charged, but I have no objection to the current location. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 06:12, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Baltimore Terrapins

message: I'm removing the sentence "This precedent set in this case has not been deemed to extend to other U.S. professional sports, making it seemingly both anamolous and anachronistic, as major league baseball is now a multi-billion dollar industry, but later Supreme Court decisions have failed to overturn the precedent, nor has Congress acted to change the situation."  Not only is this an editorial statement, the opinion of the writer, but it's not entirely accurate - the NFL has at least some antitrust exemption.  SixFourThree (talk) 21:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

message: : Most of the professional baseball teams in Baltimore have been called the Orioles, in reference to the Baltimore Oriole bird. 
It would be valuable to learn and add whether "Baltimore Terrapin" was then the common name for a species, at least regionally, as Baltimore Oriole was the common name for a bird species, standardized beyond the region. (The bird has lost its status as a species.) Alternatively, was "Baltimore Terrapin" then a common name for that dinner dish which Fannie Farmer put in the 1918 edition of her text on cooking under the name Terrapin a la Baltimore.

message: The section Definitions contains this passage:
"Let X be a Banach space and let L\colon D(L)\rightarrow X be a linear operator with domain D(L) \subseteq X.  Let id denote the identity operator on X.  For any \lambda \in \mathbb{C}, let
:L_{\lambda} = L - \lambda\,\mathrm{id}.
"A complex number \lambda is said to be a regular value if the following three statements are true:"
[This is followed =by three statements depending heavily on both \lambda and L.
Therefore complex number \lambda satisfying the three conditions is not merely a "regular value".
It must be technically defined as a regular value vis-à-vis L.
Sure, we can just call it a "regular value" as long as we're talking about a fixed L.  
But for the sake of an encyclopedia article, we need to tell readers the correct technical term for such a \lambda vis-à-vis L. 2601:200:C000:1A0:8459:386D:315C:95BC (talk) 03:36, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Seattle Rainiers

message: I'm watching a game on KPTV Fox 12 Oregon right now, Bottom of the 3rd at 16:57, 26 May, 2012 (current score, Angels 0 Mariners 0). The game is being played Seattle Rainiers in a red uniform at home vs Los Angeles in a blue uniform. The article talks about the Seattle Rainiers well in the past, but not in the present. So, what am I looking at on television, then? It seems to me that the article needs to be updated for the present by somebody in the know. As I mentioned in the scores, the actual teams playing are labeled on television as Angels vs Mariners, but they're wearing blue Los Angeles and red Rainiers uniforms.<BR>

Talk:Atlanta Crackers

message: Removed from the end of the "Origins of the name" section: "Their name was attributable to the term given to the Georgia cattlemen who drove cattle in the Georgia/Florida area in early Georgaia history.  The name "Georgia Cracker" was definitely derived from that(many historical references if one looks), and when the team was formed, they became The Atlanta Crackers.  Has nothing to do with "Jimmy crack corn".  As for the Black Crackers, several ideas come to mind.  Likely whites owned the teams, black players probably didn't like the name, but had little voice and wanted to play ball, and political correctness was unheard of in that day."

Talk:51 Birch Street

message: This is a good subject for an article; it's the sort of notable-but-obscure subject that Wikipedia is such a great resource for learning about.  But I have a problem with these two sentences:
What begins as an intimate, autobiographical story, soon evolves into a broader meditation on the universal themes of love, marriage, fidelity and the mystery of family. Unlike some other recent memoir documentaries, such as  Capturing the Friedmans and  Tarnation, it does't reveal terrible secrets or extreme dysfunction. Instead, 51 Birch Street explores more subtle forms of repression, secrecy and denial, and confirms that marriage is also among the most complex and mysterious.
This sounds like the words of a movie critic, not an encyclopedia editor.  Reading it, my eyes starting dancing around looking for evidence of a citation or quoation marks indicating where it had come from.  If this is a paraphrase from a movie critique, it should be cited.  If not, it should be replaced with language with a more appropriate tone.  Thanks.  Shaundakulbara 01:44, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
