Talk:Gardner's Art Through the Ages

message: I have taken the SPAM accusation to the book's discussion page:  []
Respectfully, --Art4em (talk) 06:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To elaborate on my edit summary.... While my concerns about spam remain, there are other reasons for removing the material from this article that are not relevant to the speedy deletion discussion at talk:Drawing Upon Art: Workbook for Gardner's Art Through The Ages (LG Williams). In particular, this article is about "Gardner's Art Through the Ages". This is therefore not the place for an elaborate treatment (half the article!) of "Drawing Upon Art", by an unrelated author. Furthermore, this is particularly the case when, for the moment at least, "Drawing Upon Art" has a detailed article all of its own. If you are genuinely interested in improving this article, rather than promoting your own, my suggestion is that you would make a far more valuable contribution if you were to spend some time building upon this article to improve its quality and comprehensiveness. You might even see fit to use "Drawing Upon Art" as a reference! Debate (talk) 09:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:February 2007 in sports

message: I notice that someone has been changing the order of teams in the Rugby Union Six Nations results from the proper order in which Dale Arnett and myself put them (always home team first, then the visitors) to "winning team first" at wherever the game was held. Note that this practice is normally applied only to American sports. For rugby, football (soccer), etc, worldwide the order is ALWAYS home team first; this makes mention of where the game was held unnecessary. -- Arwel (talk) 18:17, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an article that puts together results from different sports played at different countries. The conventions of writing scores varies from sport to sport and from country to country. People who read this article may not be aware of this and could get easily confused, so I think a uniform writing style is needed here.--Nitsansh 00:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't. I wouldn't dream of editing all the American Football scores so that their format is consistent with pretty much all the other sports played worldwide, and I would hope that other editors would respect the traditional ways other sports present their results, too. For rugby and soccer, unless something unusual happens, there's no need to say the match was played "at x." because everyone who follows the sport knows which stadia are normally used for international matches. That said, today's Six Nations rugby match between Ireland and France is noteworthy because it is the first time the GAA have ever allowed Croke Park to be used for a "foreign" (non-Gaelic) sport, while Lansdowne Road is rebuilt. -- Arwel (talk) 01:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You should never assume that people who read this page are regular followers of the sport in question and know its particular buzzwords.

replies: text: In North American sports, when scores are organized by home-and-away as opposed to winner-and-loser, the home team is always listed second. That's because in baseball, the home team always bats second. I personally prefer that system to always putting the winner first, but it obviously would not work for European sports. So it would be hard to use a single system without violating the standard scoring practice of one set of sports or another. -- Mwalcoff 02:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Jacques Peyrat

message: Like his predecessor Jacques Medecin, Peyrat has been a controversial force in local politics in Nice, both dividing the local mainstream conservative right and outraging the local far left on a number of occasions. Much of the criticism aimed at him has surrounded his practicing a "politique de prestige" at the expense of the interests of the local people. Furthermore, and although nominally a member of the RPR (and later the UMP), he has also been both adept at the use of the coded language favoured by his former party the Front National, and also more than willing to play on the patriotism of the electorate in a similar way to the FN, notably on issues such as immigration and security. A more or less conservative reaction has been at the heart of much of his discourse, even after he joined the RPR: reaction against centralised power structures (including the Department and the Region); against political correctness and the radical left “liberal” media; against illegal immigrants and minority groups who don't assimilate more generally; and against “liberal” values and their manifestation in modern society. The fact that he has been able to do little to actively or "radically" change many of these things has not stopped him from railing against them in a way which has revealed his political origins and occasionally tended to overshadow and even undermine the proactive policy initiatives which have also been occasional features of his time in office.
This stuff might be true, it might not be, but its un-sourced and unencyclopedic... but the information might be useful, so I've put it in the talk page. Cheers V. Joe (talk) 16:56, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
