message: As noted by Plmoknijb several years ago, this article needs help. I've taken a few whacks in the past, but it still reads more like a resume than a Wikipedia article.

thread_title:  "External Links" Problem Solved? 

message: Now that José Andrés has United States citizenship (per the reference in the lede), WP:OPENPARA indicates that his nationality should reflect his current citizenship. Thus, the lede should refer to his American citizenship. I reverted a change which removed the reference to American (in "Spanish American"). WP:OPENPARA also states that his past citizenship should generally not be mentioned -- unless relevant to the subject's notability. In this case, Andrés' style of cooking (Spanish) is important, so I think it's fair to also include "Spanish" as well. Comments? --Larry (talk) 18:26, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Phú Quốc

message: The article isn't written in the style of an encyclopedia article due of the writing style in general, because the article seems to read like an advertisement for the island's products, and because the article suffers from numerous grammatical mistakes. Take this passage, for example: "Visitors to the pepper gardens will be captivated by the "itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny peppercorns" of patient growers while at fish-sauce workshops, they will be amazed at the sight of dozens of bulky barrels being lined up and waiting to be packed with fresh fish. You will be tempted to try a few pungent green peppercorns and half a spoonful of the tasty salty fish sauce."

message: Whoever this individual is who's going around adding Cambodian place names to articles on Vietnamese subjects is doing so in a sometimes sloppy manner.  This is one of those cases.  Putting aside for the moment the question of the merits of adding that information, in this article, this person has in effect presented the CAMBODIAN name as the VIETNAMESE, and the VIETNAMESE name as the CAMBODIAN.

message: Who exactly had them burnt? Wasn't it Henry VIII, the so-called initiator of the English Reformation or whatever it is that it should really be called? Normally, when you are dissenting as the intellectual dissenters for rational reasons, the person who requests your "rationalization" for that purpose does not burn you alive... So, regardless of the myths that have been created subsequent to the murders of these men, the English Reformation could not have for the same reasoning given for the other Protestant rebellions - although the similarity of pursuing mating decisions beyond the authority of the Church (which at the initial period was Catholic), may be the common thread for all of the "reform" or "Protestant" movements, alongside the consequences of book publishing and the expanded access to religion presented in the indigenous vernacular... It becomes more an issue of "home rule", then religiosity doesn't it? Suzerainty and all of that? Stevenmitchell (talk) 09:36, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Neutral Point of View

message: It's wrong to say "The idea is to reach ... the person's Thetan." because a person doesn't HAVE a thetan, he or she IS the thetan! Further explanation from: http://www.scientology.org/gloss.htm#t  
"thetan: an immortal spiritual being; the human soul. The term soul is not used because it has developed so many other meanings from use in other religions and practices that it doesn’t describe precisely what was discovered in Scientology. We use the term thetan instead, from the Greek letter theta (Theta), the traditional symbol for thought or life. One does not have a thetan, something one keeps somewhere apart from oneself; one is a thetan. The thetan is the person himself, not his body or his name or the physical universe, his mind or anything else. It is that which is aware of being aware; the identity which IS the individual."

message: I am announcing a conflict-of-interest with myself being the primary contributor to this site for the Navajo Nation Zoo.
I had 'inherited' the Navajo Nation Zoo's wiki-site after taking the director position at the Navajo Zoo in May 2010. It had been almost a decade since the site had been created, and a lot had changed in that period. I felt it my obligation to provide update to the site in Spring 2018. My intention with Wikipedia was solely to maintain the information on this site, but who knows...I may add a few things here-and-there to other zoological pages.
It should be clearly noted that: according to Wikipedia standards, I am not a un-biased contributor the Navajo Nation Zoo. I have an obvious conflict-of-interest in adding information to the wiki-page for the organization for which I am employed. But, after many years in this role, I figure there is no one else that will be keeping this page with current, accurate information. I am doing this solely to be sure that the Navajo Nation Zoo wiki-site is maintained as accurate; I am not receiving any monetary compensation for doing so.
If you find anything inaccurate, biased, or otherwise not in keeping with Wikipedia standards because of this conflict of interest, please let me know and it will be corrected.

message: Alexander was margrave of two principalities, Ansbach and Bayreuth. Both ultimately became part of Bavaria:
*In 1806 Prussia ceded Ansbach and the Principality of Ansbach to Bavaria in exchange for the Bavarian duchy of Berg. From Ansbach#History
*Soon after it became Prussian (1792), French (1806) and finally Bavarian (1810) From Bayreuth#History.
The sentence In the German original about these events is not very clear (a typical example of the convoluted way some Germans express themselves, tucking everything into one sentence). A literal translation does not make sense here: rather, the historical context should be re-examined and reworded accordingly.  Andreas  (T) 14:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
