Talk:Blanc-Sablon

message: I noticed on a copy of Samuel de Champlain's 1632 map of New France that he labels one section "Terre da la Brador". Does anyone know what "brador" means? Is it a reference to a person, a group of people, or some plant/animal in that region that he recorded? 
The Labrador article suggests that the name comes from the Spanish explorer Lavrador, but this fails to take into account the use of the French article "la". SCS AP US (talk) 14:47, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Federal Rules of Evidence

message: I'm removing the warning that the article doesn't represent a worldwide view of the subject of the federal rules of evidence.  Everyone should feel free to replace it, but please provide an explanation as to why a United States law should be explained from a worldwide perspective.  The worldwide perspective seems most appropriate for more general articles, such as terrorism, sexuality, economics, etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.179.185.137 (talk) 16:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Australian "improvements" 

message: The Leganza wasn't even remotely full-size. It was too light (3000 lbs), too short (105" wheelbase, 185" length), and it especially didn't compete in the E-segment. Heck even the standard D-segment cars had more significantly powerful engine options and luxurious interior features. Daewoo was out of shape like most Korean brands at the time. The Leganza could barely hold a candle to a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla. 2600:6C50:4000:27D0:FD42:E7C9:173B:B817 (talk) 07:35, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Shetland literature

message: The base of this article seems to have been taken from the now defunct Shetlopedia, and with that site being a smaller, more self-contained and less rigorously referenced site, the tone and perspective of the article doesn't match Wikipedia's guidelines. This article could do with a bit of an overhaul on the prose sections to bring it up to scratch. I will be making some minor alterations in line with the somewhat recent name change of the Shetland dialect page, however my knowledge of dialect literature is pretty poor to be honest, so someone with better knowledge on this front may want to take a look at this. – Griceylipper 🐗 (talk) 16:24, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Japanese art/Archive 1

message: I'm curious as to why Japanese modern and/or popular art (you know the drill, manga, anime, video games, etc.) is practically not in this article. I think it's really imnportant -- individual Japanese popular artist studio websites are spread liberally all over the internet. It's a big thing. I know that these new forms have huge pages dedicated to them, but I'd still like a justification of their large abscence from this article. Thanks. --Zaorish 22:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, for my part, I simply took it upon myself to clean up the spelling, grammatical, stylistic, and formatting issues of the article, and I consider it very much a work in progress. Also, while I definitely agree that modern art deserves a section, there is really nothing to be said about Japanese modern art that covers the entire movement - no broad, sweeping generalizations that one might use to analyze the "modern" type of art. We can certainly provide some examples, and some links, but for every style or artist we name and discuss, I can practically guarantee there's going to be someone else who's doing almost exactly the opposite.

Talk:Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief

message: I have reverted:
:The code is often mis-described as a set of 'standards'. In fact, the code sets out key principles to guide behaviour in humanitarian response. The code does not provide any way of reconciling contradictions between the principles. Nor is it possible to assess performance in an objective way against the ten principles. 
:There is currently a lively debate about standards and accountability in humanitarian work. For example the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership - International (HAP-I) is currently developing key standards.
It would be a good idea to have a criticism section but would need references.  Besides HAP-I could discuss other initiatives as well, i.e. Sphere Project.--Joel Mc 06:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:MonsterVision

message: The show underwent multiple changes throughout its over nine-year run. Initially, the program revolved around a claymation-style moon character names Pendro S Harwood, who narrated the often themed-nights, and served as the de facto host. Harwood was a disgraced director whose films were rejected by Hollywood. He took on the guise of the claymation Moon and invented Monstervision to block TNT's broadcast of classic movies to show monster movies instead.
Where does this "harwood" backstory come from? I know the source provided afterwards was listed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mwnshTuyN8), but nowhere does it confirm the following "backstory" given concering the claymation moon character that was the mascot of the block upon its inception? is there any official "Monstervision" meterial that provides this backstory? otherwise, i call it being fake. i have blanked the paragraph out, and prepared to replace it with a more generic paragraph without the (possibly fake) backstory.

In all examples I can think of, the sigular of the noun is used as the adjective with the main noun only being marked as a plural. Let us let this sit for a bit longer before we change it.
