message: The bibliographyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Bulmer#Casca_series_.28as_Barry_Sadler_.5Bhouse_name.5D.29 of Kenneth Bulmer states that "Panzer Soldier" (Casca #4) and "The Mongol" (Casca #22) were actually written by H.

thread_title: Cascas not written by Barry Sadler

message: I found an article that states he only wrote the 1st two Casca books and ghost authors were used for the rest.  This is big deal.
Thomas Feller claims: "The twenty-three books in the series sold more than two million copies, although Sadler himself only wrote the first two and ghost writers authored the remainder."Feller, T. R.

message: I see no citation regarding Sadler not authoring all of the novels written during his lifetime.  Without those citations, such statements should not be in the article.
Vidarrwolfslayer (talk) 15:42, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where is citation/source for claim that Sadler did not author all of the original novels? 

message: I read them when they first came out, and besides being poorly written, the events/timelines covered contradicted/overlapped events and times in the Sadler written books.  There was absolutely no way Casca could've been there (#s 23 and 24) when he was here (Sadler books).
So, why no mentionof the time and location conflicts?

Template talk:Musical notation/Archive 1

message: There's no reason every possible note length should clutter up this template. I've created a new page called Note value which should replace it. In fact, I'd vote for redirecting all the names of the note lengths (e.g. crochet, sixteenth note) to Note Value. All those articles are pretty much identical information, and the note values only have meaning in relation to one another. This would make room for some more things we could add, like Measure and 8va. --Wahoofive 06:42, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: No disrespect to the subject or compiler of this entry but I would really have to question whether this person has achieved sufficient distinction to deserve his own Wikipedia page. There are a lot of lexicographers and linguists out there. Of course there are no specific Wikipedia:Notability guidelines for lexicographers, but if he were an academic I suggest he would not make it. Also I suggest there is little enough independently verifiable info to make a worthwhile page (which is a clue in itself). Flapdragon (talk) 11:27, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

It should be available pretty freely at libraries in Australia; might be an interesting different view for you on events that you do obviously know well.

The Wikipedia article cuts off at 2012 and misinforms the reader "this trend towards slower traffic movement has ceased and traffic speeds have remained more stable". This is not the case. Speeds are going down year-over-year and delays are going up. Except for 2003-2006 and 2012, congestion has gone up year-over-year since the introduction of the congestion charge.

thread_title:  I'll do it 

message: There are many multi-million dollar firms that provide "strategic communications" consulting to corporations, political campaigns and non profits. Hell, you can major in it at a top ranked journalism school!

See:http://www.kucareerhawk.com/s/762/index.aspx?sid=762&gid=1&pgid=953
Strat Comm is best thought of as a sub-discipline of public relations and/or public affairs. In fact, it you were to judge importance strictly by the amount of money spent, I have now doubt that the military aspect of this practice would be DWARFED by the commercial aspects.
All that said, when you read this line:
"Focused United States Government efforts to understand and engage key audiences to create, strengthen, or preserve conditions favorable for the advancement of United States Government interests, policies, and objectives through the use of coordinated programs, plans, themes, messages, and products synchronized with the actions of all instruments of national power"
...you can pretty much just swap in Cause X for USG or national interests. I don't care if it's Exxon Mobil or the World Wildlife Foundation, they're all thinking like that when they build their communications strategies. It's a hell of a lot more like politics than "information warfare".
