Talk:Post–Armenian genocide timeline

message: * 1973: Karekin Yanikian - an Armenian of 80 years, whose family was decimated during the 1915 massacres - killed two Turkish diplomats. From 1973 to 1975, other crimes were committed against Turkish interest by the "Yanikian Commando," whose mission was to brake the silence behind the 1915 events, and was a reprisal against the Turkish government's attempt to deny its past.

Talk:Piarists

message: Let's see.  If you check the Britannica, [], the official Piarist father's website www.scolopi.org, and even a count check on google (calasanz gives 33,600, calasanza 1,040), you see that the official, accepted name is Calasanz.  Now, there's also another point to be made.  He was born in Peralta de la Sal, Calasanza is the name of a castle near where he was born.  I think I make a good point as to why the name should be Calasanz.  But I'm not into rv wars, and I prefer discussions.  If I am wrong I'll accept my mistakes, but if there's no good reasoning other than the catholic encyclopedia, then i'm reverting to Calasanz. Cjrs 79 14:33, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Child Sex Abuse Scandal? 

message: There's a flag of self-contradiction in the article.  My guess is, it's about this:  Early in the article we read that the order got papal approval in 1617; then just after that flag, we read that it got papal approval from Gregory XV in 1621.  So what gives?
What gives is that there's precise wording.  Joseph Calasanz "had it initially recognized as a religious congregation by the Holy See on 25 March 1617".  And then "The congregation was made a religious order 18 November 1621".  A "religious congregation" is not the same thing as a "religious order", and "initially" is not the same thing as finally.
Ironically, 1) There is a mistake.  Paul VI was a 20th-century pope; indeed, Wikipedia ("List of Popes") tells me the two relevant popes should, for those dates, be Paul V and Gregory XV.  2) There is also a mistake in the flag.  It says to see this page, but what I'm writing now is the first thing that's ever been on this page about this bogus claim of a self-contradiction.
I'm not fixing either of these; I'm curious to see whether the flagger ever comes back, sees this, and has a reply.  I agree the wording as is is a stumbling block, and "appears" to contradict itself, but that could've been fixed easier than such a flag.

Wikipedia talk:Viewing and restoring deleted pages

message: I'm not sure where best to ask this so I'm starting here. Suppose an article has been deleted and then undeleted using selective revisions. Suppose further a revision that was not restored not only contained an addition (personal information) but also removed some text. Would the resulting history make it appear that this text had been removed by the editor who had been next to change the article? 
* innocentuser: 02:00. Very nice prose and bad information 
* baduser: 01:00. Nice prose and bad information 
* gooduser: 00:00. Nice prose and a reference
If it is just the 01:00 revision that is not restored, would it look as if innocentuser had removed the reference, added the bad information and be seen to have left an inadequate edit summary? Could the admin have removed "bad information" from the history without removing the other parts of innocentuser's edit? Or am I on the wrong track: is it diffs and not revisions that are stored?

Talk:Problem

message: "a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired"
I don't agree with the above statement since a problem is already a problem irregardless of the awareness of any individual. Example: if a person does not aware about "Global Warming Problem", does not mean that "Global Warming" is not a problem and not affecting that particular person. It is already a problem for that particular person, he/she just does not aware that it is also his/her problem. Thus, a problem may already exist before anybody realize it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yyjo (talk • contribs) 11:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: In regards to the : "An unremarkable hut, not notable." is fairly accurate however there is an exception, one of the aspects which make this hut special is that it is one of the few Australian Alpine huts which is accessible by car.

would not have given permission to duplicate his material on Wikipedia.

Talk:Sinyavino offensive (1942)

message: Overall, I think this is a B class article. I have a couple of suggestions for further improvement:
* expand the lead to summarise the article completely;
* format the References section with  template;
* (as per the comment on the [Request page]), I think the article probably should be renamed from Operation Northern Light to either "Battle of Sinyavin" or "Sinyavin offensive";
* you could try to add a few more wikilinks to some of the units involved if they have articles, or maybe create some stubs if they don't exist and if you are really keen.
* possibly add a few more citations (e.g to the last sentence in Soviet subsection of Background; last sentence in Stalemate September 10-19 section; and first and last sentences of Aftermath section).
Anyway, good effort so far. Thanks for your contribution.  — AustralianRupert (talk) 22:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

text: You can change the article name, by moving the article. This can be done by clicking on the "Move" tab at the top of the screen when viewing the article and then typing in the new name that you want the article moved to. This will then move the text to the new name and create a redirect from this page to the other (take a look at Wikipedia:How_to_move_a_page first, though). In regards to the second question, I can't see any problems with that if you're keen to do so. — AustralianRupert (talk) 15:43, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I've changed the header around; the focus of the article is the Soviet offensive, so that should be mentioned first.

Talk:Mothers' Union

message: This article is short of references (there is just one) and it does read rather like an advert, as has been suggested. However, this is hardly surprising, as such articles are likely to be written by insiders. Unfortunately, the external link most relevant to the history (the archives) is inoperative. Is there no serious printed history which could be cited?
One paragraph stands out as not by the principal author(s):
:The Union has a very functionalist ideology,[citation needed] and for many years divorced and separated mothers were banned from membership.[citation needed] The self-contained, caring, internalising nuclear family, with women accepting community-imposed social duties, remains an ideal.[citation needed]
While this may very well be true, it reads like a personal opinion and strikes me as unencyclopedic. Moreover, it is unreferenced. It fits in so poorly with the rest of the article that I am inclined to delete it, but I have not done so yet. Is there an MU insider out there with an opinion about this?
