message: I have removed a chunk of text that was copied directly from Cheri Gaulke's site (http://cherigaulke.wordpress.com/about/). I believe it can be repaired, but do not have the energy to do so at the moment. Any takers?
Though Gaulke has moved away from performance, the feminist art strategies that she helped to innovate in the 1970s in southern California continue in her work. Her art continues to be a vehicle for social commentary and as a way to tell the stories of individuals and groups under-represented in society. She works in a variety of media, but mostly video, installation, artist’s books, and public art. Such projects have included a video in collaboration with lesbian and gay teens, a photographic wall installation about lesbian and gay families, a video installation with Latino teenagers about the L.A. River, and a video installation about kids’ perspectives on a river in North Carolina. Gaulke has completed three public art projects—a Metro-Rail Station in Los Angeles that tells stories about an oft-ignored urban river, an outdoor sculptural piece for a library in Lake View Terrace, and three stainless steel and glass glowing “Pillars of Community” for the City of Lakewood, California. [1] A black granite memorial honoring the service of Filipino WWII veterans was dedicated on November 11, 2006 in a park in Historic Filipino Town, Los Angeles, the first such monument in the U.S. [2]  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthistorygrrl (talk • contribs) 07:41, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

not in breach of the policy on WP:NPOV?  It's presenting the use of these, erm, implements as not merely acceptable but to be encouraged -- that's what "best practice" means.

thread_title:  Oldest? 

message: Only thirty days after the founding of the Shakespeare Club, on 7 January 1947 a similar initiative called the Louis Couperus Vereniging (Louis Couperus Society) was formed in The Hague. At the end of the same year an other similar organization was founded in Rotterdam. The notion that after Amsterdam the following initiatives where founded as chapters of the Amsterdam initiative, is wrong. Each had it's own articles of association, without any organizational reference to the Amsterdam initiative. The only thing they had in commons organization wise, is that the people involved where part of several local initiatives. People from The Hague where part of founding the Amsterdam initiative and the same vice versa. The COC Nederland history was written from an Amsterdam-centric point of view. Also the original articles of association of the Shakespeare Club, which actually date from after the founding of the initiatives in The Hague and Rotterdam, make no mention of 'chapters' in other cities, nor the Amsterdam initiative being a national initiative. That these local initiatives later united into C.O.C. is a different story. The Wikipedia article has no references to relevant literature. For example, for my information I refer to the books "Den Haag en haar homo's/lesbo's" by Coos Wentholt and Erik Bakker in cooperation with The Hague City Archives, Publisher "De Nieuwe Haagsche", March 1998, ISBN 9072766431. And the book "50 Jaar COC Den Haag" by Erik Bakker and Luc Pruijn, published by "Nederlandse Vereniging tot Integratie van Homoseksualiteit COC afdeling Den Haag", April 1997, ISBN 9090103775. And a digital copy of the articles of association of the Shakespeare Club that I retrieved. --oSeveno (User talk) 13:08, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Dunst (performance group)

message: (Moved from my discussion page - --Sasper (talk) 14:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There seems to be a misconception of the word 'network' here. I never intended 'television network'. I changed it back because Dunst (television) was misleading. They are a network of individuals (now an association). For some months, they ran a TV programme on a local cable channel. This was not one of their most central activities nor what they are most known for. I think if one reads the article it is clear that we are not talking about a television channel. If the paranthesis is violating naming conventions then another suggestion is welcome. You are welcome to replace the word 'network' with something else that means an informal association of individual artists, performers and activists. I don't have English as my mother tongue so I'd rather not pick the word. --Sasper (talk) 14:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "Boutique firm" is pretty generic.  An i-bank specializing in high tech M&A or a partnership of architects focusing on luxury hotels would each lay claim to the term.

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I capped "with exception" to show at what part it doesn't make sense. 
If it's saying the word "boutique" should apply to any size of law firm including large ones, then how is it that a few large boutique law firms are EXCEPTIONS to this rule that encompasses them ???
Maybe the writer meant to use a different sense of word than "apply", like to instead start this sentence by saying:
Law firms should be KNOWN AS boutiques as long as they focus on particular areas...[rest of sentence unchanged].
"Boutique should apply to those firms that focus on particular areas, regardless of size, though they are typically smaller, WITH EXCEPTION to a few firms such as Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner or Fish & Richardson with over 400 attorneys.[1]"
I just don't know which it is because I don't have information about this topic. Someone pls clear this up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moon822 (talk • contribs) 12:16, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Talk:William "Hootie" Johnson

message: I made a slight change to this article. The previous version noted that he had been criticised for his policy on excluding women from the Augusta Club, 'despite his progressive social record'. This 'despite' seems clearly non-neutral to me - Wikipedia biographies should not be defending their subjects, simply stating the facts without judgement. (Besides, it's a bit of a non sequitur: it's quite possible for someone to have a 'progressive record' in one respect and not in another, so that isn't really relevant to the Augusta controversy.) I removed the clause, and kept the details of his 'record' in the article but renamed them to 'other history'. Robofish (talk) 21:06, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Nicely done.  As I recall, the construction that you removed closely followed the source from which the Cleghorn comment came.  Either way, your version works well! 842U (talk) 01:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Triconodonta

message: Did they lay eggs?
:Since living monotremes lay eggs, I would think it's more likely that triconodonts also laid eggs if they split away from the main line of mammalian evolution before the monotremes did, and more likely that they didn't lay eggs if they split away after the monotremes. But don't quote me on that because, in the first place, there's no reason that I know of why triconodonts couldn't have evolved to be viviparous independently of marsupials and placentals; and, secondly, egg-laying might not have disappeared until after both monotremes and triconodonts had gone their separate ways. In other words, I don't know. And I'd be most interested if anybody does think they have the answer! Gnostrat 04:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Mathew5000 has asked me to have a look at this article, and I decided on some changes to address the following:
(1) Observing that "very few groups of non-Therian animals" (everything from sponges to symmetrodonts!) have any chance of being called mammals does seem to be stating the obvious. Just a little.
(2) "Many other extinct groups of Mesozoic mammals are now placed just outside Mammalia proper, at least according to the cladistic definition of the word "mammal"." First, there's a conflict between two usages of "mammal" within the same sentence. Secondly, most of the Mesozoic groups that have ever been classed as mammals are actually still classed as (crown-group) mammals under all of the current proposals. Finally, there's a lack of neutrality (no doubt unintentional) in describing one controversial proposal as the cladistic definition. Some groups are indeed no longer included in Mammalia by some cladists; it depends on who you read. We currently have at least three competing definitions of Mammalia: crown-group (the narrowest), traditional (equivalent to Mammaliaformes), and Benton's (=Mammaliaformes + Sinoconodon + Adelobasileus). But the way it was phrased here, you would think the crown-group approach had won the argument — the latest word in cladistics (there are no other worthwhile definitions than cladistic ones). And you wouldn't know any different if you only referred to the Mammalia and Mammaliaformes articles, either — those will also need fixing up at some stage. Gnostrat 04:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Satellite DNA

message: Why do we call the repetitive DNA as "Satellite DNA"?
The term "satellite DNA" was coined because repetitive sequences tend to have base compositions that are different from ordinary DNA sequences, thus having different densities when subjected to buoyant density centrifugation.  Sequences rich in G and C have higher density than ordinary DNA while sequences rich in A and T tend to have lower density.  When subjected to buoyant density centrifugation the repetitive sequences float above or below the bulk of the DNA and graphs show peaks that separate from the ordinary DNA sequences.  This term arose in the early 1960's and was influenced by the new phenomenon of man-made satellites orbiting the Earth, with the smaller satellite DNA peaks forming analogous entities on either side of the larger bulk DNA peak.  There are also "cryptic satellite DNAs" with repetitive sequences that are not significantly biased in base composition and therefore are hidden because they have buoyant densities similar to the bulk of ordinary DNA sequences.
