Talk:Jomo Kenyatta

message: On 22 August 1978, Kenyatta died in the State House, Mombasa. As a result of the UK's longstanding experience in state funerals, the Kenyan government requested British assistance in organising Kenyatta's. McKenzie was employed as a go-between,
How could McKenzie have performed this three months after his assassination? Timrollpickering 11:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: A very fair point. The Kenyan government had been planning Kenyatta's funeral for about a decade, and thus they had employed McKenzies's assistance several years prior to his death. I have amended the prose in the article to reflect this. Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:23, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Funeral arrangements 

message: @ Hi, it seems that the information concerning one of Kenyatta's wives, Grace Wanjiku, is missing in the body of the article. It's a bit perplexing for the reader because you have four wives in the infobox, but then in the body it's only claimed that he had three. Could you kindly fix this? Thank you.

replies: text: Well spotted, Mimihitam. We do mention the third marriage in the first paragraph of the "Presidency of the Kenya African Union: 1946–1952" section, but at that juncture we don't actually give her name.

thread_title:  His personality 

message: There is a possible confusion in where Jomo Kenyatta was working in the UK during the World War II. All the indications are that he lived near Storrington, however the article states he was working Linfield, which is some distance from Storrington (19 miles). However, to the north of Storrington was a market garden company called A.G. Linfield and Sons. This would be more in keeping with the rest of the narrative. There are a number of local histories that attest to the fact that Jomo Kenyatta was employed at A.G. Linfield. Nshimbi (talk) 08:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Flag of Western Australia

message: Any idea why they reversed the swan?  My guess is to make it face the union jack rather than trying to "escape" it, but it's only a guess.
Another suggestion is that in the 1920s, the state nearly seceded from Australia, so perhaps that's why it looks westwards.
:My assumption is that the swan facing the fly was fine for naval use, since the ensign on a wind-driven ship will flow forwards. On land, a flag carried on a staff will flow backwards. If usage shifts from naval use to land use, the swan will seem to swim the wrong way, which may be why they changed the flag. --Palnatoke 22:52, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Swan

message: I suspect that the website that is referenced itself is lacking references. 
A quick search in Trove pulled up three articles that discuss the swan direction. 
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article52938935 - Nov 1953
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article52939910 - Nov 1953
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article52936774 - Oct 1953
As can be noted, there was no clear consensus in 1953 about which way the swan should be facing. As such, to say that it "changed" in 1953 is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.30.234.37 (talk) 04:23, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Helicobacter pylori

message: I am surprised to discover that this has featured article status. The introduction fails. The first paragraph, at least, should be understandable by educated people without having to follow links. Perhaps it was only assessed by specialists. In compliance with the FA status, I am pointing this out on the talk page rather than flagging the article as I had intended. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 23:25, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with Humphrey Tribble - this page has changed beyond recognition from its FA promotion. A major cause for concern is the change from H. Pylori as page name described to the addition of a medical condition infobox with Infection added as the page name, with no such change to the page name itself. This was carried out with no discussion in 2017.  The encompassing use of Infection is not only misleading but wrong. Infection is evidently only of concern when it is chronic. The page needs to go back to describing the bacterium for which an infobox has been placed further down. Information regarding the effects of infection can easily carry on as previously.--Iztwoz (talk) 16:49, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Rick, if you're reading this... how, if at all, can we reconcile this article with the existing East Los Angeles, California article?

thread_title:  Title's meaning 

message: At least in the remake, aren't there two car wrecks?  I seem to remember Nick recovering and congratulating them in front of his Greek friends for saving his life.  That wasn't for getting him out of the bathtub in time, was it?  (I've only seen the remake twice, and the last time was nine years ago.)  Rlquall 17:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ugh. The summary of the plot misses an important element, which is clear to me even though I haven't read the book in many years. Frank kills Nick -- & succeeds in making the crime look like an accident; however, when Cora is killed in an accident, Nick is arrested, tried & about to be executed for a crime that he did not commit. The theme of fate vs. free will also issignificant in this book: at one point Frank rejects Cora's plot to kill Nick & runs away -- only to lose all of his cash gambling at a truck stop, & finds himself returning to the diner where he acquiesces to Cora's murderous plot. Emphasize these plot details, remember that this book was written at a time when it was believed an appropriate punishment would always come to every criminal and the title becomes quite obvious: one might duck the first delivery fate has scheduled, but there will always be a second attempt to deliver. -- llywrch 19:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two car wrecks? 

message: Fair summary but maybe it misses a couple of salient points? While Cora is away at her mother’s deathbed, the rat-like Frank seizes the opportunity to start an affair with another woman. And though Cora and Frank escape justice for Nick’s murder, they are then blackmailed over the confession.

message: I am new to Wikipedia.  I saw that someone had a link to a page about yard sales, so I thought I would edit the page and put a link to my site which is about estate sales.  My site is a commercial site.  I gather that commercial sites are not allowed since after I made that change, someone removed both links and then kind of threatened me.  I had linked to my main site page.  Would it better to link to a page that describes what estate sales are, numbering systems, estate sale etiquette, etc?
I am assuming that this is probably the wrong way to ask about this but since I didn't see a way to contact the user, I thought this might be ok.  Please let me know where to post if this is not right.  Here are the sites that I referenced above:   EstateSales.NET is the main site.

message: (If withdrawing a recantation of one's confession is a "cant" or a "cantation").
As long ago as 2010 some anonymous person removed the obvious observation that he was very likely given a good going-over by the NKVD after his misbehaviour in the witness box. Most books state this to be the case.
I think I read once that he was nursing an obviously dislocated arm during his second spell in the witness box, suggesting that some version of the strappado had been used.

All I have is a personal guess that (given that Melekeok seems no more unique an area than the rest of the island and the new capital building stands fairly alone) the government may be trying to construct a new (possibly planed) capital away from established population centers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.113.212 (talk) 01:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Queer

message: A relatively small syntax correction, but nonetheless an important one.
The use of the term 'several' in the paragraph relating to "Criticism" has a diminutive effect. A synonym for this word in this context would be 'few' which is misleading. 
Indeed, the article then goes on to say that use of the word queer "marks a social and political divide in the LGBT community" which is no small thing.
I therefore propose changing this word to 'many' as it better communicates that this is an issue of greater significance and controversy within the LGBT community: 
"many people and organizations, both LGBT and non-LGBT, object to some or all uses of the word for various reasons."
For context, there are far more people who identify using the more traditional terms gay, lesbian or bisexual than queer – see official UK Census 2021: 
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/culturalidentity/sexuality/bulletins/sexualorientationenglandandwales/census2021

Aristotle making zero assumptions in his ontology serves to minimize experimental bias. Not only are there hundreds of academic citations, but his name is in the title!!
