Talk:Ranking member

message: The current division of Ranking member and Ranking minority member is based upon the incorrect assumption that "ranking member" always/correctly refers only to a member of the majority party and that "ranking minority member" always/correctly refers to the ranking member of the minority party.  In fact, the distinction is not so clear cut, as at least one Congressional Committee (the United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs) and at least one State (Iowa) use "ranking member" to refer to the ranking member of the minority.  Given the overlapping usage, addressing both sets of definitions is better accomplished in a single article. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 21:42, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Reapportionment Act of 1929

message: The Wiki link that lead me to the Reapportionment Act of 1929 in the entry for the House of Representatives stated that this Act fixed the number of members of the House to 435, yet I did not see any mention of that in the entry of the Act.  Doesn't that seem like an important part of the Act?  Did it not do that?
 believe it has to do with the wording of the law ("Act"), which says, in part:  
 the number of Representatives to which each State would be entitled under an apportionment of the then existing number of Representatives
the then existing number of Representatives being 435.
The necessity that the districts be of generally equal population was not set up by acts prior to the Reapportionment Act of 1929. That requirement was set up by the Supreme Court case Wesberry b. Sanders (or Reynolds v. Sims, a state case) later in the 60's.
"Reapportionment Act of 1929" (or just "Reapportionment Act" or any other flavor of this) is not an official short title--it's never been enacted as such, and Congress's subsequent amendments didn't cross-reference it by this title but just "the act of June 18, 1929 blah-blah-blah."  I hate it when people make up these titles for legislation and get them accepted as though they were official (like the Freedom of Information "Act," which is really just one section of the positive-law Title 5, and the Administrative Procedure Act, which was technically repealed when Title 5 was recodified).2601:204:D502:1837:61D7:5855:2E10:6DF (talk) 19:23, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Can I propose that this template move articles into a category other than Category:Wikipedia articles needing context.

Talk:Blanquism

message: The Luxemburg quote is presented as being a source which equates Lenin's revolutionary theory as Blanquist. However, the closing comment, "to assure the success of the revolutionary conspiracy, it was considered wiser to keep the mass at some distance from the conspirators" doesn't really seem to apply to Lenin, as he proposed a leadership with "eight workers to every two intellectuals" (Appignanesi, 1994, Introducing Lenin).
- Lindsay
Lindsay, I should also add that the final quote attributed to Lenin doesn't really seem to be a repudiation of Blanquism at all. It seems moreso like a warning that Rightist Social Democrats, aka Bourgeois Socialists, use this term as a perjorative term and to steer clear of such statements. If anything, he is repudiating the Social-Democrats for using such language.

Talk:Tsushima-Fuchū Domain

message: It appears to me that we may have a problem with the names of the clan daimyo listed here; I don't know where this list originally came from, but it has no dates or other indications of what order it is in. It may have been taken straight from the Japanese article (:ja:対馬府中藩), but there too we do not have dates or references, and the list does not appear to coincide properly with that at the article at Sō clan. I noticed this in particular while working on the article for Sō Yoshitomo, who is the first daimyo of the Edo period. Nevertheless, our list of daimyo (this article) does not seem to mesh with our list of clan members (the clan article).
It's a rather obscure topic, and while I intend to look into this myself at the school library, my own sources say very little on the clan and are thus of little use. I would appreciate any help anyone might offer. LordAmeth 01:34, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Amazon Light

message: I see this article was proposed for deletion due to a claimed lack of notability. I'm not so sure it should be deleted without prior discussion. My reasons follow.
*Amazon Light has been discussed on metafilter (where it was even posted by creator Matthew Haughey).
*It has been mentioned on boingboing.
*It has also been posted on digg.
*It attracted enough attention that google lawyers sent it a cease and desist mail.
*Amazon Light 4 won a Technical Achievement award at the South by Southwest web awards in 2005.
*It is currently included as one of the Special:Booksources booksellers, which links to this page. I found it a useful link, not knowing what Amazon Light was when I saw it in the list (this is how I came across this article today).
*google returns 150,000 results for the phrase "Amazon Light" (with quotes). This is quite substantial even if many of these are duplicates or can otherwise be discounted.
I am therefore removing the prod tag. --David Edgar 16:58, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries

message: So why does this page point out Obama’s Michigan “no votes” but not the fact Hillary lost hundreds of thousands of votes because states held undemocratic caucuses?  So Hillary won the Texas popular vote…but lost the much smaller turnout caucus and Obama ended up with more delegates out of Texas than Clinton. And the notion Obama’s strategy was to focus on the Texas caucus and ignore the popular vote is absurd. Obama benefited greatly from undemocratic caucuses and when Bernie Sanders benefited from them in 2016 Democrats realized they needed to get rid of them—because caucuses are just as undemocratic as superdelegates. So Hillary won the popular vote and any discussion about Michigan should also include Texas and the fact caucuses are now seen as undemocratic. Clam chowdah (talk) 00:43, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
