Talk:Karakul sheep

message: it seems strange that instead of saying something like "used for meat," this article repeatedly says things like killing the ewes and eating their flesh.  What is the standard on Wikipedia for referring to human consumption of animals?  I suspect it is less graphic than the wording used in this article  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ertw1357 (talk • contribs) 00:37, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia isn't censored for taste, if that's what you mean. And we aren't supposed to be trying to make things be appetizing by avoiding mentioning frankly the fact that Karakul sheep are slaughtered for eating, that's part of our neutrality policy, and being a reference work. However, meat isn't the only thing Karakul sheep are kept for, by any means. If you want to make the article more balanced between the different uses for the breed, that's a great idea.

message: In this article an editor had written that Tajik was a dialect of Persian. If wikipedian editors decide collectively that Tajik is a dialect of Persian, than that decision should first be reflected on the Tajik language page and then systematically changed across the entire wikipedia site. For an individual wikipedia editor decide that a "language", and Tajik is defined by linguists in Tajikistan and across the world as a "language" (though I'm sure there are many dissenters), is now a "dialect", is a violation of wikipedia's NPOV editorial rule. We can't have a page that says "Tajik language" and then else where on the site editors are changing every mention of Tajik to "dialect of Persian".David Straub (talk) 22:51, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

The link to the SPLC gives the entire text of the memo and no commentary on it, while the link to Crawford's book excerpt (which incidentally I never removed) provides only a short quote from it and plenty of partisan commentary from the author.

There's no reason why it shouldn't remain in the Lake Macquarie article, which isn't large (12kB) and it makes sense to keep it there so readers don't have to go looking for information on the island elsewhere. The island is part of the geography of the lake so should be mentioned as more than just a wikilink, which would mean that the two articles substantially duplicate each other. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:47, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Celina, Tennessee

message: The inclusion of the town in the category Sundown towns in Tennessee was challenged at the Help Desk here. The ip listed a newspaper reference which I strongly suspect refers to the same community of African Americans described in the 1878 Evening Star story used as a source in this article. I note that the Evening Star article is a second-hand account, and it is perfectly consistent with an attack on the neighboring African American enclave rather than their being forced from Celina. Since I could find no other reference to Celina as a sundown town I removed the category. I did not remove the description of the attack of the neighborhood, and have no problem with restoring the category if it can be sourced.

Talk:Fred Davis (snooker player)

message: While the article says "Davis was invited to compete in the 1991 World Masters, where he lost to Steve Davis 0–6. This was Fred's last TV appearance in a competitive match", the article for that tournament does not include Fred Davis in its results section.
