Talk:Sean Sellers

message: Since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Roper v. Simmons, the constant repetition of "a crime committed under the age of 17" makes no sense.  It gives undue weight to the fact that Sellers' crime occurred when he wsa 17. The Court in Roper established 18 as the "bright line" at which the death penalty may be constitutionally imposed.  In order for the Sellers case to make sense in light of subsequent legal developments, it should be placed in the context of Sellers. Otherwise, the article engages in one-upmanship:  "I was executed for a crime at a younger age than you were! Nyah!"  In the context of anti-capital punishment advocates, it makes little difference whether Sellers's crime was committed while he was 17, 16, 11 or 5 years old.  He was underage and the penalty for the crime was cruel and unusual punishment (it is argued).  18 or 17 doesn't matter in that context, either; the Court's ruling in Roper set the bar at 18. Leonard Schockley's death is no more notable for his having been 16 when he committed his crime, and Scott Hain's no less for his having been 17. - Tim1965 16:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 17 vs. 18

message: Citing an online source for such an important statistic as "22 people executed since 1976 whose crime was committed while under the age of 18" is inappropriate.  Additionally, the Death Penalty Information Center is hardly a neutral source (much as I agree with their goals).  A published source such as a federal report, peer-reviewed journal article, or newspaper article would be better. The Sellers article is already close to being NPOV, because it comes close to reading like a polemic against executions and executing those who committed crimes while under the age of 17 or 18.  And the article's emphasis on Sellers' age comes close to violating Wikipedia prohibitions on undue weight.  (Strong critics of this article might even suggest that linking to a strong critic of the death penalty, like Death Penalty Information Center, is more like an advertisement. It's akin to an article on conservatism linking to the Republican Party Web site for definitions, or an article on astronomy linking to a group which advocates more funding for astronomy.) I strongly suggest that editors seeking to make changes (especially those outlined here) pick the most neutral, verifiable, published sources possible to back up their claims. - Tim1965 01:11, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Slamannan and Borrowstounness Railway

message: I have been trying to make this article more comprehensible to general readers. (There is more that needs to be done). 
I provided a geographical map and relocated the diagram further down the page: I feel that the diagram is difficult for most people to follow, and the casual reader might be deterred from reading on. I hoped that a geographical map would be more encouraging.
Since my edit, the diagram has been repositioned, but there is no discussion or explanation here. I don't intend to descend into a reversion war here, or hair-splittting arguments, but it would be helpful if that editor could put forward the reason it is considered important to have the diagram at the top, and not further down.

Talk:Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway

message: The closure dates given in the article are wrong, but unfortunately I do not know the correct dates.
The article says that Peebles-Symington was closed to passengers on 6 June 1950, and that "final closure (from Symington to Broughton) was on 4 April 1966."  But Peebles-Symington is the whole line, so the Symington-Broughton section can not have closed thereafter.  Also, I remember seeing the trackless trackbed near Peebles some time around 1960, and there were certainly freight trains betweeen Symington and Biggar after that.
I think, but I'm not sure, that Broughton-Peebles was closed (completely) very early, possible pre-war, and that passenger services Symington-Broughton continued until the early 50s.  I know that freight from Symington to Broughton continued at least until 1964, but I can't be more precise than that.

Talk:Saniat Rmel Stadium

message: Sania Ramel o Saniat Ramel es el nombre de una barriada pedanea de Tetuán, en Marruecos. En la primera década del siglo pasado se construyó allí un aeropuerto para utilizarlo en la guerra de Marruecos y España. Este aeropuerto llegó a quedarse como aeropuerto de la ciudad hasta hoy.
En los años del Protectorado Español de Marruecos se instalaron cerca del mismo unas bases militares con un cuartel de automovilismo y otro de artillería. Cercanas a esos cuarteles había unas viviendas, la mayoría ocupadas por familias de esos militares, que llegaron a constituir un barrio, el barrio de Sania Ramel.
En noviembre de 1955 desembarcó en el citado aeropuerto el rey Mohamed V, recién obtenida la independencia para su país.
Frente a las casas que hemos citado, al otro lado de la carretera que llevaba de Tetuán a Río Martín (la playa más cercana a Tetuán y al aeropuerto)y al propio aeropuerto, había unas naves muy grandes, unos hangares destinados a cobijar el parque automovilístico de los cuarteles citados. En la foto adjunta puede verse (aunque la foto es mala y antigua) parte de una de esas naves y la carretera inundada por las terribles lluvias de 1956.

As well as more information on size, grid coordinates, archaeology and history, we could probably have considerably less about wallabies.
