message: I removed the statement that Sadler served prison time for the murder of Lee Emerson Bellamy, as there was no source. Googling "Lee Emerson Bellamy" got me one non-wiki entry that referenced Sadler, which said he was acquitted. Seems contentious.

message: Something I've wondered for quite a while: While it was not unusual for SF soldiers to receive the Combat Infantry badge, (even if their primary Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) was not Infantry, most of them held an Infantry secondary MOS qualification), it is unusual for someone with primary MOS in the medical field (Sadler should have been a 91B3S at the time (now 18D) as an SF medic) who served in direct combat NOT to have received a Combat Medic Badge. The same conditions needed to qualify for the CIB for the Infantry types would qualify a medic for the CMB.
Any one know why the late SSG Sadler is shown with the CIB?

Talk:Zarzuela

message: The first line of the article indicates that the correct pronunciation is "/θarθ'wela/ in Spain, /sars'wela/ in the New World". I agree that the IPA characters are right, but I believe the syllable breaks should be different, that is three syllables instead of two: "/θar'θwe'la/ in Spain, /sar'swe'la/ in the New World". I must admit I've never had this word come up in conversation with a native speaker, but based on my college Spanish phonetics classes, I think the current version is incorrect. Experts/natives please enlighten me. Draeco 22:22, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you are correct. When I ran across it, only the Iberian pronunciation was given. I added the American pronunciation without really thinking about the syllabification, just substitituting "s" for "θ". I'll fix that. - Jmabel | Talk 08:24, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Mostly translated, except for a phrase or two, but there is a bit much material that is in here twice. Also, we are inconsistent about whether to italicize zarzuela.

message: Is the argument to prove atoms expressed in its best form?
As it is, there several gigantic logical fallacies involved.
First, if something could be divided into infinite pieces in theory, it would still be practically impossible to do so. Infinity is a theoretical concept, not achievable in such a limited system, and having properties which render the comparison of a mountain to a rock irrelevent. You might as well prove that multiplication does not exist by multiplying zero by infinity.
But, even more importantly, if we accept the flawed "infinity" argument, it does not prove that things are made of distinct atoms, only that there may be some finite smallness to which the (perhaps otherwise continuous) matter can be reduced. A sort of Planck's length of matter size. It could be purely smooth and continuous, but simply not break smaller than that. So there would only be dynamic, conditional "atoms" created by any effort to break matter up infinitely. They wouldn't represent atoms which pre-existed the effort, and atoms put back together might fuse into one truly continuous material, in whatever way they got into that continuous state before being broken down in the first place. 
If the argument can be expressed in such a way as to address these issues, that should be done in the article.  --Kaz 21:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

*Lamm and Kath, in particular, were uncomfortable with this turn of events.

Talk:Battle of Freeman's Farm

message: There is a major problem that has developed with the structure of the Saratoga articles over the years since they were initially written. The issue is that of "forking". Suppose that a person wants to add or correct something about the Battle of Bemis Heights. There are several possibilities: he or she might edit the Saratoga campaign article, or the Battle of Saratoga article, or the Battle of Bemis Heights article. That person might not edit all three articles, and may not even understand how the three articles relate. Multiply this by the many editors who contribute to the articles over the years, and you get diverging accounts of the battles and expeditions.
One way to avoid this is with "Wikipedia:Summary style." Make it clear when the "see main article" notice is used that what follows is a summary of that topic, and that additional information should be added to the "main" article, in order to avoid forking.
Additionally, there may not be a need for a "Battle of Saratoga" article at all, since all that information can be divided between the "Saratoga campaign" article and well as the two battle articles. This will prevent confusion and further forking.
Because my time is limited, I have no intention of making these changes myself. I hope someone reading this will attempt to reorganize the Saratoga articles to make them easier to understand and edit, and to prevent forking. The fact that I must add this notice to four or five different articles is an illustration of the problem. --Kevin Myers | (complaint dept.) 19:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: "A possibly unwritten secondary mission of the Voter News Service was to provide election results as quickly as possible on election night—a point which came to haunt the VNS in the 2000 presidential election."
"Possibly"? "Unwritten"? This is all just conjecture then, if its only "possible" and if it is "unwritten" its also unprovable and cant be sourced.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.224.197.195 (talk) 22:46, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section: "Role in the 2000 presidential election" 

message: The article says VNS was formed in 1990 and cites Forbes Magazine.  However, the article's External Links section has A House Without Doors which says "Though VNS had changed its name regularly, its headquarters are still at 225 W. 34th St., New York City, and it has been the exit polling arm of the big TV networks since at least 1972."
I suspect both statements are correct in that VNS operated under another name prior to 1990.
It may be worthwhile to merge this article with National Election Pool which seems to be the same concept under a new name. --Marc Kupper|talk 04:51, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Italian Radicals (disambiguation)

message: I have created a disambigation page at Italian Radical Party, which distinguish between the Nonviolent radical party and this one. However, it is wrong, I think, to name this article "Italian radicals", since this party is not the same one as the party founded in 1955. This leads to confusion, such as Marco Pannella redirecting here: it should redirect to the Partito Radicale entry. Since this article apparently doesn't exist yet, I won't make a redirect to the Nonviolent radical party, because that one was founded in 1989. So, this means we have three different parties, and only two entries. Hopefully an Italian could help us here. Tazmaniacs 00:58, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Aaronic priesthood (Latter Day Saints)

message: Significance of the Aaronic priesthood in mainstream Christianity
The Jewish priesthood of the Temple period is, for most Christians, primarily of historical interest. In the book of Exodus, God ordained Aaron and his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar to be priests for the Lord. According to the Law, only descendants of Aaron, or Aaronites, could be priests. The priest's role was to intercede before God on behalf of the nation of Israel. Within many Christian traditions and beliefs, the new covenant established by Jesus, and later the destruction of the temple, brought this period to an end.  
The priesthood also has been invested with metaphorical significance in Christianity. Jesus is considered to be the culmination of the High Priesthood. The Jewish priesthood has therefore been seen as a type for the priesthood of Christ, as the Jewish sacrifice was of Christ's sacrifice. By his sacrifice as Priest he reconciles God to men, fulfilling the old law.
