Talk:CSA

message: If the goal of the organization is to help a user locate the correct disambiguation, then I don't know enough about how other people search, other than by scrolling down the list looking for the appropriate category, or perhaps for those who look to the right, glancing at the hyperlinked table of contents.
If we are trying to plan out categories, then I propose 
Consumer
This then allows these two that are inside Other
to collapse into Consumer, and perhaps be under business (but that is not yet a category):
* Community-supported agriculture, an alternative socioeconomic model of agriculture and food distribution
* Customer Service Advisor, a job title.
Would that really help someone locate the item more efficiently?

replies: text: Arkona (in Latin letters) is the commonly used name for this band in the English-speaking world. Per WP:COMMONNAME, the English Wikipedia uses the most-frequently used name of a subject for its article titles. Also, band names are never translated but only transliterated to the Latin alphabet where necessary. That is why German bands and others using Latin letters appear with their original names in the article title, but e. g. the Japanese pop band Ketsumeishi has a transliterated title.

Talk:Out Skerries

message: Anon user added :
:The name Outer Skerries is actually wrong, the Out is not short for Outer it is actually derived from the old norse Ut which means East. The Ve in Ve Skerries is deriverd from the old norse for west. The Ve Skerries, are (unsurprisingly), off the west coast of mainland Shetland. The term The Skerries is a term which is used, but is also slightly incorrect. The correct term is just Skerries. This mistake is also made when naming Shetland as a whole and the nearby Orkney. These are very often called The Shetlands and The Orkneys, but no locals would use these terms.
This seems to be correct and I have made amendments. --JBellis 17:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is this right? The Norse for "east" is Austr not ut, if I mind rightly. Either the English is a corruption of this, or someone is confusing two Norse words. Both etymologies work, for slightly different reasons. --MacRusgail (talk) 15:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have always believed this to be the case because it is often quoted locally in e.g. tourist literature as the etymology of the name.  See for example visitshetland.com.

Talk:Satire VI

message: What's the source for the fact that the "custodes" quotation is the epigraph of the Tower Commission report? I haven't read that report, and I can't find it online; the only references that I know of for this fact derive from Alan Moore (writer of Watchman). Certainly the link in the article  does not say this (so I will remove it). So I'm a little worried that a mistake by Moore has become an urban legend through comic fans; it was disconcerting to come to Wikipedia for confirmation and found that there was none. Even if the report is not online (it would be nice but we can't have everything), is anybody willing to say that they have read it and will therefore take the personal responsibility to cite the report itself as the source for this fact? (In the meantime, I'll put in a link to an interview  where Moore talks about this.) —Toby Bartels (talk) 08:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tower Commission? 

message: No citation is given for this opinion: "While women are prone to temptation, Juvenal casts men as agents and enablers of the feminine proclivity toward vice. In the written Roma of the Satires, men will even impersonate eunuchs to get unmonitored access to corrupt a woman (6.O-20-30)." Is this a standard view, or simply the editor's? I for one don't see it in this light. This is not simply a description of what any reader can see is in the satire, but an interpretative view, so I suggest it should have either have a citation or be omitted. And why call it "Roma" rather than "Rome" (unless it is a reference to Fellini perhaps)? Kanjuzi (talk) 15:34, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Yes, Claire apparently had a problem with how she was portrayed in the book, and wanted her name out.  It makes no sense, as everyone knows who she is anyways.

I suspect that overzealous pursuit of NPOV is the culprit. If this article had been run in a proper journal of reviews the reviewer would have taken some position and there would be less of a muddle.
