Talk:Bell hooks

message: I noticed that there is no mention of hook's buddhist beliefs and its influence on her life. I plan on fleshing out an entire section about her journey and experience with Buddhism as well as the specific influence it’s had on her life and her work. Buddhist thought has influenced and shown up in many of her academic and activist work. I will also include details of her identity as a Black Buddhist and its importance in her writing and personal life. I will use the article “bell hooks, Black Feminist Thought, and Black Buddhism: A tribute” Medine, Carolyn M. Jones Medine. “bell hooks, Black Feminist Thought, and Black Buddhism: A Tribute.” Journal of World Philosophies. 7 (Summer 2022): 187-196.as well as hooks' interview with Helen Tworkov from 1992 to detail hooks’ discovery and incorporation of Buddhist theories.Tworkov, Helen. “Agent of Change.” Tricycle, 15 Dec. 2021, https://tricycle.org/magazine/bell-hooks-buddhism/.

thread_title:  Additional section on hooks' Buddhist beliefs 

message: The article switches from referring to her as Watkins, to referring to her as hooks. It looks really sloppy and inconsistent. We need to pick one and stick to it for the whole article. Jozsefs (talk) 11:13, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I think the article currently does a really good job at handling her name. Both "Watkins" and "hooks" appear in both the first sentence and the infobox, as is appropriate. Otherwise, she is only referred to as Watkins in the Early Life section, with the article switching to using hooks at the point of her adoption of the pen name and then consistently using hooks after that. All this strikes me as for the best, including for readability. CAVincent (talk) 05:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

message: I reverted the infobox status from "vulnerable" back to "least concern" as the infobox relies on a single source for that criteria and using a status from a different organisation just for this species doesn't make sense.

thread_title:  subsidiary viscountcies 

message: : you reverted my removal of "The Hon.", which is a MOS:PREFIX, on the grounds that this is a page about viscounts anyway. While true, MOS:PREFIX lists several exceptions, which doesn't include "this is a page about another related title". I'm sure you could incorporate a mention regarding The Honourable#United Kingdom in a sentence somewhere, but I think it bloats the table and goes against the spirit of MOS:PREFIX, which is to avoid stuffing Wikipedia articles with prefixes and honorifics beyond what's strictly necessary. Thoughts? Pilaz (talk) 15:24, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have strong opinions on this, just thought it made sense to use here. It at least conveys a small amount of information, since it indicates that the person is the son of a Viscount (or other peerage) though the table specifically notes the relation of anyone who isn't the son of the current holder, so including Hon. doesn't really matter for most entries on the table. Anyway, feel free to revert me if you want, I just figured that since the MOS said "generally avoid" that this article probably fit within the exceptions, probably under commonname, since most of these people are only known due to there titles, and the peerage publications generally use titles like honourable. Emk9 (talk) 19:53, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That makes sense, I hadn't thought that readers might be interested to be able to identify whether the heir of a particular viscount is a son of the current viscount. I think the idea behind MOS:PREFIX is to avoid repetitive bloating of the article with titles, so I'm going to try a WP:BOLD edit with a note linking to The Honourable#United Kingdom and removing all "The Hon.", since the color indicates that.

Talk:A.N.S.W.E.R.

message: > an umbrella group consisting of many antiwar and civil rights organizations.  
Isnt it problematic that this description a little too bland?  The NAACP or SPLC is a civil rights organization.  
Their founding members belonged to the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party (WWP) and most if not all of WWP's ideological tenets are mirrored by ANSWER.
ANSWER is: pro-Iran, pro-Yemen (ie, Houthi), pro-Venezuela, pro-Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua.
They are pro-North Korea. They eschew "US imperialism" in South Korea, ignoring Chinese/Russian imperialism in North Korea, blithely ignoring that, without US intervention, the entire Korean peninsula would be a Kim-dynasty dictatorship instead of the current status quo.  eg, they cover "Kim Jong-un’s New Year Address and the Prospect for Peace" and talk wistfully about "unification" (under a North Korean regime).
They are anti-Ukraine (they are "anti-war" yet they are strangely silent on PUTIN's war on Ukraine, starting the war, continuing the war, aggressively taking territory by means of war). Which is to say, they effectively want Ukraine to be, to return to being, a client state of Russia.  The below link could have been taken from a Russian state source:  
https://www.answercoalition.org/ukraine_questions_for_the_u_s_antiwar_movement 
They are anti-NATO. Their stance is word-for-word that of Russia's, decrying how menacing NATO is while ignoring Russia's invading and annexing: Ukraine's Crimea, Georgia's Abhazia, Georgia's South Ossetia, eastern provinces of Ukraine proper.
This organization has the look and feel of a pro-Russia front group. All foreign policy initiatives of Russia are suspiciously promoted. No criticism at all of Russia (or its proxies) are present. ANSWER's National Director Brian Becker is a constant presence on Russia's propaganda channel Russia Today.
Much like the Comintern appropriated left-wing topics of civil rights, immigrant rights, and unions, while liberally injecting pro-USSR/Communist ideology, ANSWER of today appears to use similar techniques. 
ANSWER is not simply "an umbrella group of antiwar and civil rights organizations."

message: Mountaineering and climbing are mutually intersecting sets. As per the definition mountaineering include subsets of:
* outdoor climbing and traversing via ferratas – intersected with the independent set of climbing;
* skiing – unrelated to climbing.

message: I have never seen the act of using a via ferrata lumped in with mountaineering, and recommend omitting it. Mountaineering typically eschews the use of fixed hardware in all but the rarest cases—e.g.,where the danger is significant (fixed ladders on major peaks) or the hardware is a remnant of older expeditions or attempts that cannot be taken out of the rock (jammed cams on a technical climb or old pitons). The use of via ferratas is likely to occur on popular hikes in well-developed tourist areas, by contrast. 2601:280:4000:3D:CD8:ED66:F4A1:3AE0 (talk) 12:32, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
