Look for this article for example. I am not warring but your revert is compleately wrong--مصعب (talk) 11:45, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said, please read MOS:DAB. Nowhere on the page Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen does it even vaguely suggest that it is known as anything other than DSMZ. As I said, if you think the target page needs "fixing", then please go "fix" the target page before changing the disambiguation page.

Talk:Codex Theodosianus

message: I have removed the following two paragraphs:
The Codex decreed that pagan schools, temples, and games were forbidden, so that pagans would no longer have the opportunity to sin; 
"...the pleasures of the theaters and games are to be kept from the people in all cities, and all the thoughts of Christians and believers are to be occupied with the worship of God."
-
It is assumed this quote is taken from C.Th. XI.vii.13, which actually orders the games and theatres closed on Sunday, as well as "Epiphany, Easter, and Pentecost" - not banned altogether

message: there are a lot of articles like this, including the publishers own article, that constitute partially walled gardens on the edge of the giant park of literature. lots of back patting here, and while the writing is, of course, cutting edge, and the cover art, publication methods, and the communications network is up to the minute and whip smart, there is often no indication of notability. please, if you like this work, and want to add or improve articles on this kind of small press writing, find anchors for your articles, citations in some sort of peer reviewed journal, newspaper, magazine thats halfway between underground and commercial. anything. the drum beats, but the deaf cannot hear it. we need a surgeon to bring back our hearing, perform a miracle please.

Talk:Baron Dudley

message: This is off by four barons; it was created 1342. See Complete Peerage. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 05:05, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article follows Burke's peerage, and probably other works on the peerage.  Burke states that John de Sutton (died 1359) received a summons in 1342 only.  By later usage, this would make him and his heirs barons by writ, but I suspect that was not the contemporary practice, and that the Complete Peerage has applied later rules anachronistically.  I have dealt with this matter by adding the 1st baron's ancestors to the article as predecessors.  These predecessors were barons by tenure, since they held Dudley Castle by barony, but they would merely be classed as feudal barons.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:43, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Outreach/June 2007 Newsletter

message: I'm disappointed that recent (past 6 months) edits to the spoiler tag have taken some of the "pith" out of it. It used to say spoiler warning: plot or ending details follow, or words to that effect that alerted readers that reading the section would spoil any surprises. (E.g. MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, SLEUTH, THE OTHER, WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION, THE CRYING GAME, MEMENTO, THE PRESTIGE, et al). Now the new, softer, mushier wording is indeed redundant with a Synopsis section. (Although some might not think so, I do agree that the spoiler warnings bracketing any and all plot/synopsis sections were a carbunkle. I'm glad to see 99% of them go. I just wish there wasn't such bitter resistance to the few reinstatements where editors felt they were appropriate.) So ... how do we highlight spoilers in a film article? There are those who strongly argue that encyclopedic articles on fiction works should discuss any surprises or elements candidly, and readers should know this. I'm don't make such suppositions about either our articles or the reader. We can't in my view; any kind of reader with any depth of interest will come here. The least we can do is be open about what is presented. 
That said ... are there any ideas or suggestions on "wrapping" the spoilers in the few fiction works that hinge upon big surprises in a new way? We don't want to condescend to any reader, but since the anti-spoiler advocates dislike that form, is there a way that we can gently inform the new WP reader that ... "reading this synopsis will disclose plot twists which may disrupt your enjoyment of the work." (My feeble definition of a spoiler.)  TIA, David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 21:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:United States trademark law

message: There's an incredible lack of sourcing on this article, but specifically if anyone can find a source for the section that says "Failure to "police" a mark by stopping infringing uses can result in the loss of protection."
I would be very grateful for it --148.100.153.116 (talk) 03:37, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Failure to police a mark does not necessarily result in the loss of protection. However, it does weaken the rightsholder's position over time. D could claim that P had "slept on their rights" and inexcusably delayed taking action, so D could make a case that the claim is barred based on laches. Alternatively, a mark may become generic if it begins to be used to describe the product rather than the source, and whether a rights holder vigorously polices its mark is informative on the matter. That's my theory on why Coca-Cola still has a TM even though "cola" has become a generic term for soda in a number of states. They're highly litigative. Arttechlaw (talk) 22:06, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:French ship Pélican (1693)

message: Were there two ships "Pelican"?   Canadian Etienne Trudeau's son, Maj. Francoise Trudeau, Sr., who in 1702, built old up-river Mobile's (Alabama) first fort. In 1704 he wed, old Mobile, "Pelican Girl" Jeanne Louise Burel. Her "Pelican Girl" sisters; Genivieve Burel wed Canadian Claude Trapagnier, and sister Marguerite Burel wed Gilbert Dardenne. All from Canada to Mobile. All wed 1704. Their father was Canadian Etienne Burel, old Mobile's first inn keeper and escort from France to Mobile, with his Canadian "King's Daughter" (by first marriage to a soldier) wife Marguerite Roussel Burel. Burel had been banished from Canada because he said it's leader was corrupt. A hearing in France, found in his favor, and thus being in charge of the "Pelican Girls" to old Mobile. Actually I think two other ships accompnied the "Pelican" and he was not on the "Pelican", per se. Jim Southport, North Carolina.
:Another point is that this article states the Pelican's career was over in 1697, when she was grounded after the Battle of Hudson Bay, but in Old Mobile Site another Pelican is mentioned in 1704ish, with a link to the pre-move title of this article (1702).  Either there were two ships, or they repaired this ship (and this article is incomplete).  Further research is needed.  --J Clear (talk) 01:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Federal Reporter

message: I'm not updating the page because I believe personal research is banned, but the prediction for the 4th series starting sometime in 2025 is probably in need of updating. The time between Vol. 1 and Vol. 50 was about 600 days. This has dropped considerably since then. The time between Vol. 550 and Vol. 600 was a little over 450 days. Extrapolating outward at the current rate of publishing, accounting for a modest acceleration, puts us at late 2017 as an earliest case, early 2019 as a latest case. Of course unforeseen changes in litigation rates over the next few years could affect this in both directions. sam (talk) 14:05, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Katherine Phillips detention incident

message: This page should not be deleted as it describes the pitfalls of teaching overseas if a teacher comes into conflict with a student from an influential family. Unlawful detention of overseas workers is a violation of human rights and articles like this which illustrate the dangers serve to benefit humanity at large. Further, this article is a helpful reminder to American ex-pats that they should not depend on their embassy to assist them when they are being unlawfully detained.

MrZaiustalk 11:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Its great she got out, but now it seems like an old minor news story and should probably be deleted, based on WP:NOT#NEWS. She is known only for this one incident. Someone could renominate in a month or so, to see if anything develops out of it. While looking for addition sources for the article during the AFD, I found several other articles about abuse of teachers in the country, but the others were not about angry and influential parents getting even with teachers. They were about 30-something year old Egyptian female teachers confined to crummy barracks with a strict 10 pm curfew and no visitors, like they were students in a 1950's girls school. Many female teachers are hired from Arabic speaking countries and have complained about their treatment. This could perhaps be merged into an article about the educational system in the country, or allegations of abuse of non-Kuwaiti workers, in order to have an article with an encyclopedic subject. Slight news coverage of one rough period in one person's life just does not seem to go beyond a filler news story. Edison 17:08, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

text: It does seem like it would make more sense to discuss this and other topics in the context of Human rights in Kuwait, just from a practical perspective and to give perspective. This article's short enough that we could trim it down by just a sentence or three and fit it there, and use that as a basis from which to expand coverage of specific incidents where the rights of foreigners were infringed upon by the Kuwaiti government, while hopefully maintaining a worldwide perspective and covering their status vis a vis south asian and pacific workers.

Talk:Spanaway, Washington

message: "Spanueh" is not "Hudson's Bay" spelling of "spadue", but simply an earlier spelling of it; Lushootseed underwent a sound shift in the nineteenth century where all normal nasal vowels (m, n and their variants) were replaced by stops (b, d and their variants). This is reflected in many other words (especially place names); for example, the "m" in "Muckleshoot" and "Duwamish" is "b" in modern Lushootseed. Hudson's Bay just happened to be the company active in the area when the old pronunciation was normal. In modern Lushootseed, only certain mythological characters (especially Raven) use the nasal vowels, much as in modern English only Shakespearean and KJV biblical characters normally use "thou/thee/thine" or the "-eth/-est" verb endings.
On another anachronistic note, in 1899 there were no "motorcades" to Mount Rainier. Check when motorcars became prevalent, and either change the date referred to or the mode of transportation. --Haruo (talk) 17:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Both of these anachronisms appear to date from a single edit, the only one ever done by User:IamJean, on March 25, 2010. Since IamJean is probably not to be found, perhaps someone else would be so kind as to correct this part for him or her. It seems likely the unsourced 2010 "research" on the etymology is unsourceable, but the n > d sound shift is well documented and should be sourceable. --Haruo (talk) 20:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
