Talk:The Speech (fiction)

message: "...wizards are advised not to curse or lie in the Speech."
Are they advised not to, or is it impossible?  I thought that it was impossible to lie in the Speech.
--Dani 01:22, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: IIRC it is effectively impossible to lie in the Speech simply because what you say becomes true…hence the strenuous discouragement. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 10:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Advised? 

message: "The Speech is an idealized language found throughout modern fantasy/science fiction." [my emphasis]
Without specific references to other terms for a Universal or Common Tongue, throughout is an overreach; the article mentions only three authors who have used specifically a language referred to as the Speech in the creation of their worlds. 
The text could be expanded to include references to the Common Tongue in fantasy and science fiction, and the usefulness of the assumption. Throughout would then be an appropriate description as it falls into the same category as Faster Than Light (FTL) or warp drives which are necessary to get from place to place in space-oriented SF. As such, it could also be a part of an article about the common assumptions that are often made in the genres of fantasy and science fiction: 
* Old Earth was used up and discarded.
* Humans have spread across the galaxy.
* Old Earth exists somewhere but its location is lost in the depths of time.
* Magic exists, as do magical beings.
* There are portals from our reality to other worlds if we only know where to look.
* And so on.

thread_title:  Can I say 

message: I am marking this article for cleanup. I don't really know where to begin on it, but for example, Nigeria's spot on this list at first stays loyal to the topic, then skews strangely and without rationale into Nigeria's debt cancellation programs.
And nations and events seem listed at complete random. There seems to of been no real work done to make this article flow well, I wonder if it wasn't written piece by piece? Regardless, it really needs a whole re-write. And, more than anything, some purpose.  Scryer_360 (talk) 02:09, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd agree on the need for a total rewrite, I've tried to at least mention some of the early quota agreements, this article should be more about that kind of stuff. I'm not sure the peak oil stuff really belongs here at all, not that it's unimportant but petroleum politics goes back way before peak oil was even dreamed up. And the tone is all wrong - for instance, the article currently implies that Iraqi oil played no part in geopolitics until 2003, when in fact it dominated much of British activity in the region throughout the 20th century, going all the way back to the Mesopotamian campaign of WWI.

thread_title: Neutrality

message: In case you weren't already aware, with semi-automatic citation tools like WP:Reflinks: "The templates created automatically by the tool need to be reviewed to ensure that they are accurate, as they are often not." For example, in this article, you just posted titles & accessdates for several ref links that no longer exist, since the tools blindly followed re-directs to entirely different webpages that don't even resemble the cited information. In many cases, you can recover deadlinks and find the right webpages with quick searches on archive.org and/or google.com; but you should always make a habit of visually checking any ref links that you update, to guard against introducing so many errors.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Añoranza

message: I haven't looked at Anoranza's edits in detail, but I do agree with him that, in the interests of neutrality, we refer to events by their colloquial names rather than their propaganda names.  Notice how 2003 invasion of Iraq isn't located at Operation Iraqi Liberation.  Besides being chosen for propaganda purposes, the military opreational names are not used by other countries involved in the conflict and will be almost totally unknown in countries other than the United States.  Someone from Australia might reasonably be expected to find Iraq War or 2003 invasion of Iraq.  The articles are already located at these appropriately neutral names, so they should be referred to correctly from other articles as well.  --Cyde↔Weys 19:12, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comment by [[User:Cyde|Cyde Weys]] 

message: I have interacted with Añoranza once, on the AC-130 talk page. Having observed the discussion and watched the user constantly assume bad faith, I posted a single, neutral comment asking the user to at least consider working with other users and to assume good faith. I pointed out that the comments seemed like attacks. In the last example an automated revert, flagged by VandalProof, earned another revert from Añoranza, with an edit summary reading "revert, please stop misleading and offensive edit summaries and do not delete neutrality warnings".

replies: text: Oppose: I don't think Añoranza's proposed move is a good idea.  Ideogram filed the RFA as "Añoranza", and the ArbCom voted to accept it on that basis.  Añoranza is certainly free to argue that Zer0 is the villian in this story, and the ArbCom can decide to issue some kind of sanction against Zer0 if they agree, but I don't think there's any basis to change an RFA once it's accepted.

Category talk:Olympic competitors for the United States

message: I noticed that the category is getting extremely large as it is, so I was proposing that we add another category, Olympic basketball players of the United States". I went ahead of myself and added it, but didn't want to cause too much damage, so I stopped. I think it would be more efficient to use a seperate category. I am not going to do it anymore, because like I said I don't want to cause any damage.

Talk:1999 Saskatchewan general election

message: You don't remember the Channel Lake hearings in the Legislature's Crown Corporations Commitee, including the calling of a number of witnesses including Jack Messer, Laurie Portigal, etc., concerning the affairs leading to the botched sale of Channel Lake Petroleum and the subsequent dismissal (with $300k severance) granted to Jack Messer, a NDP political appointment?
It was front-page news in Saskatchewan in 1998/99 and the words, "Channel Lake" will yield a lot of hits on www.legassembly.sk.ca/Hansard .  And if you search Google (or your favourite search engine) for the old Saskatchewan Party website, you will see many press releases.
Also, in 1998, there was another scandal at SaskPower that figured into the election, concerning the locking out of utility workers, and then actually legislating them back to work.  These were all election issues, and were some of the major reasons behind the NDP only winning a minority of members in 1999.

Talk:Gamemaster (board game series)

message: Questions about the Article
Why would an article for Milton Bradley's Gamemaster series have no list of the games it included, besides links at the bottom of the page? I came to Wikipedia and this article saerching to find some information about the Gamemaster line and the games included.
I added a list of the games that were introduced in the Gamemaster line, and I suggest adding a short description of each of the games.
Also, why does the article go in depth about Axis and Allies, when Axis and Allies has its own article, but any other game is neglected? The titles and links "Avalon Hill" and "Hasbro" appear with no information about Hasbro's buyout of MB, or prior introduction, which i found confusing. If I remember correctly, the Gamemaster series was discontinued quite some time before Hasbro acquired MB (in the early 90s), and therfore really has/had nothing to do with Hasbro. 25 June 2006 Evan

message: The New York Post is well-known for being a sensationalist tabloid and has been involved in numerous controversies regarding their reporting.  Just look at Wikipedia's own article on the publication: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Post.  IMO, this is in no way a reliable enough source of reference for a Wikipedia article.  I have removed three sentences that exclusively use The New York Post as a reference, and removed it as one of the references in another sentence.  Also changed "several" to "at least two" in "Controversies" section, as it is a more specific number and there were only two ex-members in the references cited that made the specified allegations (see: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words)
