thread_title: A note

message: I put a stub template on this article; I personally would like to see some more examples, including hand games from previous eras and different cultures.  And as well as more links to hand game articles, I think there should be mention of who plays such games, and why; for example, Rock, Paper, Scissors is often used to decide who goes first in another game, and variations of Pat-a-cake are played either as a bonding experience between mother and young child, or as a playground game in elementary schools.

thread_title:  Expand this article 

message: Maybe it was just within my family, but we used to play 'Hand Castles'. There was never a winner, but it was great fun to fill a gap between courses during a meal, or afterwards, while seated round a table. One person would put their hand in the centre of the table, palm down. Then the person to the left would put their hand on top, etc, until everyone had both hands piled up on the table. Then the bottom hand could be extracted and placed on top, etc. Eventually it got faster and faster until the hands were just a blur and the sequence fell apart. I can't believe it's unique, but Google hasn't found me any other reference ! I'm sure I have played it since childhood, outside the family. It can be played using a knee if no table is available (There was a reference in a Charlie Chaplin film, seated in a theatre "A Night in the Show @7:00"). I think I've seen it stacking fists too, instead of open hands. Maybe not notable, though ?--195.137.93.171 (talk) 00:13, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any link to the above discussion about deleting the article?
I'm wondering how to revisit deletion. It's been a long time and it hasn't been expanded. Also, I don't see any real cohesive properties of Rock-paper-scissors and Mercy_(game). They're both played with hands, but ... I just don't see it. And there's no references indicating that game-study people or game-book people are anyone see this as a category either. Absent something like that, is this just a neologism which should be deleted? CRETOG8(t/c) 15:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm not sold on this one.  This is part of a set, most of which could likely be merged with the geographical pages, like Geography of Greece.

Talk:Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

message: Re: "In addition, most Native Americans and Asian Americans throughout the US still had no constitutional right to vote due to citizenship restrictions, while Black women had no constitutional right to vote due to their gender." (removed here)
That paragraph & the paragraph following it are about ways in which people ostensibly covered by the 15th amendment were still disenfranchised. The article already discusses poll taxes, literacy tests and intimidation as continued barriers; it should also mention racialized barriers that prevented Native Americans and Asian Americans from voting. In addition, as the article stands now, "poll taxes and literacy tests ...instituted across the South" are described as "effectively disenfranchising the great majority of blacks," without any mention of the fact that Black women in both the North and South (i.e., a majority) were disenfranchised by their gender. Although poll taxes, literacy tests and grandfather clauses did not only affect Black voters, they are relevant in this context because of the practical reality of what these restrictions meant for large numbers of Black citizens. Gender-based restrictions are also relevant for similar reasons. Siragitkey (talk) 03:26, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:List of official residences

message: This looks like a nice, systematic page. On closer inspection, however, it is rather confusing.
To start with, the current title—List of official residences—suggests, not surprisingly I believe, a list of residences (or dwellings—the current Wikipedia redirect). "Residence" as opposed to "workplace" I suppose?
Secondly, a definition of "official" is missing from this page, too.
s.v. Brazil:
* Palácio do Planalto (presidential office)
* Palácio da Alvorada (presidential residence)
In what way is the presidential office relevant for a "List of official residences"? As far as Austria is concerned, Heinz Fischer does not live at the Hofburg; he works there.
Any suggestions as to how this page could be improved? 02:23, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
:Well, to answer your points one at a time:
# the current title—List of official residences—suggests, not surprisingly I believe, a list of residences (or dwellings—the current Wikipedia redirect). "Residence" as opposed to "workplace" I suppose? Secondly, a definition of "official" is missing from this page, too.
#:Both of these can be answered by the fact that the name for such buildings is, officially, "Official residences". There is, in fact, a stubby article called Official residence.
#In what way is the presidential office relevant for a "List of official residences"? As far as Austria is concerned, Heinz Fischer does not live at the Hofburg; he works there.
#:Good question. But the answer is - referring back to the first answer - is it officially described by the Austrian government as an official residence?
#Any suggestions as to how this page could be improved?
#:The obvious was is the one I'm proposing both on this article's page and on Official residence - that the articles be merged. That would give a definition of what an official residence is, followed by the list.

thread_title: Mediation again

message: In an attempt to put the article back on a footing of good quality sources rather than the previous arguments due to Ciz, I've just added two sections.  One's on violence, because I do think this needs to be in there, and the other is a summary of some of the better known research which is cited in the talk pages.
I have summarised the research and if there is a lot more on that to add, it can go in a separate page, which was proposed and not argued in talk archive page 1.
Meantime, could someone (I mean, someone who understands NPOV) review the article as it now stands, and let me know if anything should be done to ensure the page remains NPOV now?  Just to reassure me that what is there, although verifiable and accurate, is not somehow unbalancing it. FT2 21:26, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Research - request for neutrality check

message: In view of the fact that 
#Ciz has little idea of Wiki policy and has shown this for some time now
#The article has had to be protected from vandalism by Ciz several times now
#Progress on the article is stalled by the inability of Ciz to grasp basic wiki concepts such as "logic" and "rational impersonal discussion"
#Mediation was attempted and failed
#Within minutes of adding academic mainstream material to the article Ciz's responses have been:
#:* Delete/revert  
#:* Add comment in article body "Dont compare gays to bestials"(twice above, once in article body same link) 
#:* Label academic research "crap"(above)
#:* Weasel words(above, "Most gays...")
#:* More POV/weasel words, this time added to the article itself( "unless you believe having sex with animals is abusive in itself, as most do")
To which one can now add
::* Removal of evidence and citations from above list, including the complete deletion of the last point in toto. 
I am inclined to take the matter of Ciz to the Arbitration Committee, with the request they order that Ciz will be banned from this article.
Please vote below if you would be supportive, against, or have other opinions on this matter at this time.  Note that ArbCom does not in fact require a consensus to accept a matter, so this is more a "straw poll" of feeling. (Sock puppets and suspected sock puppets, including unknown anon IPs, may be ignored)

Would support if it was taken to ArbCom:
* Support. FT2 20:03, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)
* Support. And in fact, given that Ciz has neither made any other contributions nor shown that he's even willing to accept Wikipedia's guidelines and principles, I'd support asking to ban him completely from Wikipedia, too. -- Schneelocke (cheeks clone)  20:21, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Psychoactive drug

message: I respect that there are mentions of Timothy Leary in this article, since he was one of the most important figures regarding drugs in general, but this specific chapter (regarding set and setting) is inappropriate in this article since it has to do with psychedelic drugs specifically, not psychoactive drugs generally (that defines a major difference between the two actually, since your set/setting don't matter when you seek your desired effects by biological means (i.e. by using non-psychedelic drugs) but are tremendously important when using psychedelic, which have subjective effects and are not biologically euphoriant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.207.135.35 (talk) 20:53, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Earl of Dunbar

message: There is an inconsistency with the numbering of the Earls. Articles exist on the 7th, 8th, and 9th; are they really the 6th, 7th, and 8th? Compare the list of Dunbars in the Earl of March article.
The Clan Cleary () seems to have done its research -- they used Clans and Tartans of Scotland and Burke's Peerage -- and I've changed the article accordingly. I'd link to it, but there are these damnable frames that pop up even if you enter the URL for a specific page; you'll have to search the site for "Dunbar" or "Gospatric" to find the information I used.

thread_title: Sir Clive?

message: I feel the reference to Lloyd's "poor captaincy" during the NZ tour should be looked at. Firstly to look at this tour in isolation from a twenty year international career does scant justice to Clive Lloyd, secondly the statement that many NZ cricket fans still dislike Lloyd is opinion not fact, as is the statement that he displayed "poor captaincy" in the first place. There is no objective judgement of "poor captaincy" so this cannot be neutral, it's simply the authors view. Most importantly it completely ignores the incompetence of the NZ umpires which caused huge resentment amongst the West Indian team. This section should either reflect the cause and effect relationship of the dreadful umpiring and the West Indies surly behaviour or it should be deleted. As it stands it's not neutral. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Danw88 (talk • contribs).

I've checked the Oxford History of Ancient Egypt & Georges Roux, Ancient Iraq (3rd ed.): neither mention Tiglath-Pileser receiving a gift of a crocodile from an Egyptian king, nor do the primary sources translated in my copy of ANET.

Both regard the nahiru, which seems to be translated into "Blower" as a whale. It cannot be a narwhale, because they live in the artic. It must be a sperm whale, because its teeth are important enough to mention.
