Talk:Screen quota

message: When countries with quotas relax their quotas, it opens the market for U.S. made films, because the American film distributors do not offer individual films, they sell contracts committing foreign presenters to screen whatever crap they send. American filmmakers then have a pre-committed market for poorly made films that don't sell well domestically.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 13X.215.511.31 (talk) 17:30, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't it be written USA or the United States instead of "America"?

Can you imagine if it would be "between Korea and America"? I know americans (south americans) who don't like this use of the word. 82.131.124.38 (talk) 16:41, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Using the word "America" instead of USA or US 

message: I stumbled upon this article today, only to realize that this article's severely outdated. The two most important areas of improvements are:
* Outdated information: Much of the "current" information is from 10 years ago and is therefore no longer relevant.
* No mention of recent developments: It lacks any mention of the Chinese screen quota system and tax rebates and the French subsidy scheme.
Perhaps I'll take some time to update the article. Holler at me if you don't see any updates by the end of this year.

Talk:Woodhaven Junction station

message: I'm proposing a merge because it seems pretty obvious that the extant-if-closed underground station was the direct replacement and rebuilding of the surface station from before the line was grade separated. The supposed difference in placement is uncertain as it is, and even if accurate was a difference of just a few dozen yards.
Plus the idea that the current names are accurate is sketchy. The underground station signage has always read "Woodhaven". The station was known as both simultaneously, and it's not a valid and sufficient distinction between the two.
Between that and the dates of replacement, it's clear to me that the pre-grade separation version is just an earlier incarnation of the same station. I think the existence of two articles is trying to make a distinction that doesn't sufficiently exist, and that readers would be better served by a single article that covers the entire history of the various incarnations of the station. oknazevad (talk) 16:24, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm reading it as Woodhaven being at 87th Street, and Woodhaven Junction (confusingly, later known as Woodhaven) being at the Rockaway Beach Branch crossing near 100th, and that before 1939 they coexisted (see the ETT here). If that's the case, they're sufficiently different (and 3,000 feet apart) and shouldn't be merged. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:07, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Bernardo Sandals

message: This article is fundamentally flawed. The vast majority of their sandals are made in Brasil and have been for several years. Like many post World WarII shoe companies, from Amalfi to Bandolino, to Ferragamo, Italy dominated the art of shoe making. Many of the sandals Bernardo imported were generic footwear that was imported by Edison Bros. Stores Incorporated as well as many mass merchant shoe importers. The only thing specific about the Bernardo shoe was their attention to quality. Their patterns and design came from the many small factories throughout the Tuscan area.

thread_title:  Untitled 

message: I wanted to come back to this, should someone put it in again, later.
One editor wrote, about templates they were changing on the article, "Left the other two, cause it is still like 'hooray for them!'"
The problem is, that isn't a neutral position to take. To quote Jimbo from 2003, in a mailing list piece cited by No original research:
There's a popular view of bias in journalism, held more in practice out of laziness I think than held as an actual theory of bias, that the way to be unbiased is to present both sides of an argument without prejudicing the discussion for or against either one.  "Some say that the earth is round, others say that it is flat... Our approach is more sophisticated, I think.
''
The problem is, unless there's something citable that shows something isn't "hooray for them!" then that's how it is, and how the article should be written.  We shouldn't be aiming for the present bias for balance.  We should be presenting what we know in a neutral way.  There are some things in the world that are an unqualified good.  If there are qualifications, then quote 'em and cite 'em. :) Hal (talk) 01:23, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rename 

message: The statement that "the theory has been discredited" applies only, if at all, to the single 1999/2000 tests.  The crucial claims focus on 1977, when the Rawlings ball was introduced, and 1993 and 1994, when many believe a "juiced" ball was introduced.  There is some feeling that the 1999/2000 tests at UMass were a straw man, to deflect attention from the longer-term issues.
Not addressed here at all are the two sets of examinations that came to very different conclusions, one ("URI research team finds compelling evidence of livelier balls in Major League Baseball") at the University of Rhode Island and the other ("Looking Inside Baseballs for Home Run Secrets") with the assistance of Penn State's CQI Imaging Lab.
And there is the evidence of baseball's stats themselves (see, for example, my own page,
"Actual Baseball Effects of PEDs"), which show sharp, sudden discontinuities in batting power at those points.
I don't want to just bull in and insert stuff on the article page, but these things need to be recognized somewhere there.

Talk:Gaoyou

message: The battle of Gaoyou in 1945 was the last as well as the most intense and difficult battle fought between the main forces of the New Fourth Army and the Japanese Army after the surrender of Japan. It has great strategic and historical significance.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender.
On September 2, the signing ceremony of Japan's surrender was held aboard the battleship USS Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay, marking the final victory of China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
September 3 is the Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
On September 9, He Yingqin presided over the surrender ceremony at the auditorium of the Army headquarters in Nanjing. Ningji Okamura signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender.
What many people don't know is that World War I broke out after this. This was the Battle of Gaoyou, which was the last battle of Chinese Resistance against Japanese aggression. On August 15, Japan surrendered unconditionally, but the Japanese troops stationed in Gaoyou City in Jiangsu Province were still fighting in the final corner. Gaoyou is an ancient city, the geographical position is superior, is located in the central China liberation area south line. Located on the east bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Yangzhou is controlled in the south and Huaihe is strangled in the north. It is the main road connecting North and north Jiangsu by water and land. It is known as the "iron lock of the canal gate", and it is always a place for military strategists.
On December 19, the Central China Field Army commander Su Yu personally deployed and commanded, launched the Gaoyou campaign, and recovered Gaoyou City in a week. This battle is called the last battle of the Anti-Japanese War.
The New Fourth Army to accept the Japanese surrender of the largest surrender ceremony held in Gaoyou city, the Japanese commander Iwazaki Dazuo holding the Japanese roster and munitions, ordnance register solemnly handed over to the New Fourth Army on behalf of Han Nianlong.
The site where the Japanese invaders surrendered to the New Fourth Army has been announced by The State Council as the second batch of 100 national memorial facilities for the War of Resistance Against Japan. Cinnooo (talk) 18:58, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
