message: I see that the ODNB lists him as Thomas Phaer, so it may be better to merge into that spelling (even though this article is the longer).

Template talk:Brooklyn

message: So far I like the Cyclone best. Ebbetts Field creates a bit of an impression as if the template is about historical neighborhoods. ~ trialsanderrors 00:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm glad you noticed and commented. I think the Cyclone picture is great, but it was so hard to figure out what it was at the small size of the template. The old picture of a Park Slope neighborhood winter scene just didn't say "Brooklyn", as the Empire State Building or Times Square does for Manhattan, or the Unisphere for Queens. I'd love to find a pic of the Parachute Jump at Coney Island as an icon to represent Brooklyn, especially now that there's the whole program of lighting it up at night. Alansohn 01:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: it's maybe not immediately obvious that it's the Cyclone, but it creates interesting abstract curves that invite the viewer to click on the picture. I did a pretty extensive search when I set up the pictures for the template but Brooklyn was the hardest. The Parachute Jump would be a good one, the other one I was thinking of was Woodie Guthrie's house on the Mermaid Avenue cover. But I couldn't find any good pictures for either of them. ~ trialsanderrors 01:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

text: The current pic is a view towards Brooklyn of the Brooklyn Bridge. I had the Parachute Jump on for a while, but I don't think it's as iconic, and it doesn't have the mass to really get the point across. The Cyclone was a good idea, but I think the picture we had was less than ideal. A picture of folks going over the top of a hill on the ride would be much better. Let's play with it and see what sticks. Alansohn 01:49, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Armadillo Run

message: The section titled 'The Cole Porter Method' makes very little sense to me. The citation given is to an Armadillo Run  level, which is hardly a citation at all. I did import the level into Armadillo Run, and observed a scenario where the armadillo is lifted up using cloth and a counter-weight. Is this the "Cole Porter Method" ? If so, why is it called that? If someone can clean this section up, that would be much appreciated. Thanks Afrank (talk) 17:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Kevin Barrett

message: Kevin Barrett is noteworthy in that he proficiently presents serious questions about the events of 9/11, which the mainstream media has all but buried. Now more than ever, America (and the rest of the world) need true patriots to stand up against an increasingly tyrannical government, one that has used and continues to use 9/11 as an excuse for everything from the Iraq war to the decimation of our
liberties. Results of a recent Zogby poll showed that over 70 million Americans want a new 9/11 investigation. Mr. Barrett does not represent a fringe group. He represents a huge, and ever growing segment of American (and world) citizens. - Alex Carson 24.59.154.9 12:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:True Buddha School/Archive 1

message: This page only set the view from the believer
This sect has been a debate
----
To "WangHaoDe":
I would like you to read this article first:
http://news.com.com/Wikipedia+and+the+nature+of+truth/2010-1025_3-5979331.html
WangHaoDe, you engaged in spreading defamatory information, just like in that article, when you wrote
* More likely this is a new cult founded by Lu Sheng-yen
* True facts on True Buddha School, and then linking to the shc site
First, it's obvious that you do not like True Buddha School. Sure, several Taiwanese groups charge that True Buddha School is a cult. So what? That proves nothing. It's just a bunch of groups that are engaging in slander, not something the Buddha taught his followers to do.
The shc site is so bogus. There are pictures of the inside of a True Buddha School temple. Guess what, those are all pictures of publicly accessible places, so anybody could go and take those photos. It just proves that she's been inside the temple. Big deal, so has numerous other people. Her criminal and civil cases were both dismissed by the local district attorney, so her claims are not credible. If you don't believe me, go check out the court records in Washington state's King County to see for yourself. In fact, this shc issue has been discussed several times on Talk:Lu Sheng-yen, including posts by shc herself and someone who knew her personally and saw what happened before she started her lies.
So since shc is full of lies, what possible reason could there be to bring it up? To damage the reputation of Sheng-yen Lu and True Buddha School, that's what the reason is. 
Maybe you didn't know that her claims are all lies, but if so, why did you believe it? Probably because you don't like True Buddha School and Sheng-yen Lu, so you are all too-willing to believe something negative about them; so you spread this negativity to damage their reputation. Are you proud of yourself? Is this what Wang Hao De teaches you to do, to defame others?

Talk:Invasion of the Cape Colony

message: Hearsay or fact?  William, Prince of Orange traded the Dutch settlement at the Cape of Good Hope in return for protection of the Dutch royalty following fear of French-incited revolution by the Dutch commoners or, as happened, a Napoleonic invasion of the Netherlands.  The British sent a naval force to present the terms of the exchange, but were met with resistance because the Dutch settlers had not yet received news warning of the contract from the Netherlands.
The suicidee William Gordon refered to in the article above was the person after whom Gordons Bay was named.

message: As part of a push for a Good Topic I will be tidying up a version of this article in my userspace over the next week or so. I note that aside from vandalism there has been no serious activity on this page for some time, but if any one has concerns, questions or comments please do get in touch. I may also redirect this article to a new title reflecting the fact that it covers the whole of the invasion, not just the (very small) Battle of Muizenberg (which in any other context would barely be a skirmish).

replies: text: I have now completed this tidy up, comprehensively expanding the article, completely resourcing it and making general improvements. I have also moved it - the article as it stood covered more than the minor skirmishing at Muizenberg anyway, and the new version covers the whole campaign.

Remarkably, Gallagher was able to use the same two chords (Em G) in the verse to Don't Believe the Truth's "Meaning of Soul" and create a completely different effect - the song is an aggressive rocker rather than a tender melody.
Meaning of Soul's verse uses G major and E major not E minor. No wonder the Liam creates a 'remarkably different sound', they're not the same chords, not to mention the chorus which has 2 new chords. Also "Songbird" has a 3rd chord played between the G and the Em, something with an F# in the root i think (not sure i haven't played it).   --Heavy Man 02:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC

Talk:Independent Examinations Board

message: I am somewhat doubtful about the claim in this article that the IEB was formerly the Joint Matriculation Board. To my understanding, the Joint Matriculation Board became the HESA Matriculation Board (or technically, the JMB was replaced by the HESA-MB). - htonl 02:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I have more information from : The JMB operated from 1918 to 1992 when it was dissolved. The functions of moderation, examination and certification were transferred to the South African Certification Council – now known as Umalusi – while the function of determining minimum thresholds to degree study was taken over by the Matriculation Board. I don't see how the IEB can formerly have been the JMB, then? - htonl 02:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I got an older version of their site out of the Internet Archive (at ), and this is what it says: [The IEB] was registered in 1988, originally to make up for the loss of the Joint Matriculation Board’s Senior Certificate Examination and deal with the threat of inferior and segregated examinations being imposed by the nationalist government. So maybe it would be more correct for the article to say something like "It was originally created to replace the defunct Joint Matriculation Board, due to fears of interference in examination standards by the apartheid regime." - htonl 18:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

text: In my view this information (i.e. that which can be supported by citation) should be added to the article rather than removing other information (supported by citation).  Paul Beardsell 10:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

text: It is important to remember that the JMB issuing its own exmas irritated the four provincial (i.e. White) Education Departments.  There were also 9 (or 13) non-white Education Departments.  There was always the suspicion that the exams were not equal in difficulty, or that the results were otherwise manipulated to comply with apartheid philosophy and prejudice.  Answer this:  WHY WAS THE JMB DISSOLVED?  That it took some time for the IEB to become fully functional does not contradict what the article said.  Paul Beardsell 10:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
