message: Someone started a policy debate concerning the use of source code in articles, that seems to directly impact this (and possibly other Database articles).  See below for details:
I have opened a debate on the use of source code and other examples in Wikipedia articles. It seems that many pieces of example source code etc. currently in Wikipedia violate Wikipedia policy, so we need to either clarify or change the situation. Depending on the result of the discussion, this may result in a number of source code examples being summarily removed from computing articles!

thread_title: mea culpa

message: Having read many articles on the matter I found the version prior to 30 March 2014 to lack neutrality and put forward claims that are not substantiated in the writings.  I do not have time now to correct all of the factual errors but have dealt with the three most blatantly unsupported allegations.
1. That it was the Japanese who first attacked the Aboriginals
2. That the Japanese had raped multiple Aboriginal women as a catalyst to this event.
3. That McColl had raped Tukiar's wife on Isle Woodah.
The last example was the most telling.  While at trial one witness said that Tukiar had told him that, others recount different motives and both the alleged victim and other Aboriginal women witnesses denied those events then and in first hand accounts years later (Ted Egan's book Justice All Their Own).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carpentarian (talk • contribs) 14:57, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: "teach the Aborigines a lesson", though referenced, still seems to be verballing from a POV writer. At least the verballing isn't being done by a wikipedian, though. The phrase "it should be noted that" was removed, but the implication associated with it seems to be somewhat original research. If "punitivie expeditions" are often violent, ideally there should be a reference saying so. Nothing seems to have changed with regards to "it instead became a turning point towards reconciliation". Thanks, Andjam 08:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Apologies - some of those were mine during my early days of wikipedianing (is that a word?). I hasten to say they weren't my views! They were quoted and I should have given the citation. I'll see if I can still find the reference, and then put it back, because I think those quotes are quite useful to understand popular sentiment at the time. But I totally agree - they shouldn't be there without a context.RayNorris 10:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: More and more photos have been added to this article over the last several years, giving it an increasingly cluttered look that makes it difficult to read, particularly for people with visual impairments. At least several of these image additions appear to violate Wikipedia's Manual of Style/Accessibility standards which urge editors to "Avoid placing images on the left hand side as a consistent left hand margin makes reading easier" and "Avoid sandwiching text between two images or, unless absolutely necessary, using fixed image sizes." The History section of the article is particularly cluttered and hard to read. At this point, several images need to be removed or repositioned in an image gallery in order to bring the article back into compliance with the MOS and make it more accessible for Wikipedia users with visual impairments. - 47thPennVols (talk) 00:39, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Disciples of Confucius

message: There is some difficulty with taking texts written by scholars of a different era and presenting them without change as Wikipedia articles.
I have gone through and changed Legge's romanisation to Pinyin, not without difficulty. I have not changed occurrences of Bo (usually 伯 or 白) to Bai, although that is the current practice. Where Legge has referred to 'the present dynasty'. I have changed the text to 'Qing'. I have also deleted references to other pages in what appears to be a larger book. If there are errors, I hope that more learned Wikipedians can come in fill the breach.
The larger problem of making these changes is that the article is now neither the original Legge text, written in the context of its time, nor a fully modern Wikipedia article.

Talk:Hypothetical disaster

message: I definitely read something on Wikipedia about "superhurricanes" that could theoretically form over superheated ocean water in the event of, for example, a volcanic eruption just under the surface or a meteor strike. I can't find the article now, but it would be the best bet for making "Super Hurricane" legitimate. 
Other aspects of this article also seem ill-thought-out. For example, while a firestorm might devastate a small area, it would be nowhere near the scale of an eruption of Yellowstone Caldera or the outbreak of World War III. There needs to be some sort of scale applied.
Anyway, cheers and good luck on the article. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 05:06, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
