Talk:Earthquake cloud

message: Earthquake_cloud → Earthquake_light — Regarding this issue I strongly disagree. This are two distinct phenomena, eventhough the cause is most likely the same; the effects cloud/light are evidently different in nature. That merits two separate articles, unless a more comprehensive article integrates them such as Earthquake_signs for instance. Abestrobi (talk) 00:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I also disagree with the merge (Oppose). Earthquake clouds are not the same as earthquake lights. Earthquake clouds involve not only the rainbow-coloured clouds, but other phenomena such as rapidly-appearing clouds, as well as five distinct types of clouds visible on satellite photos, sometimes stretching for hundreds of kilometres, are also considered earthquake clouds. Also, earthquake lights and clouds are not always seen together, and books that I've read often talk about one and not the other, or keep them seperate topics. Also, the book I'm reading suggests that earthquake clouds may come as much as 103 days prior to the predicted earthquake. The photos from the Sichuan earthquake suggest they are the same thing, but there are still many different types of what are said to be earthquake clouds, some quite different from the ones observed. Earthquake lights can also come as a bright sky glow at night, or it can also happen during the day. Historical records suggest earthquake clouds can also appear like a long thin line, or appear as coloured bands of clouds with thunder and lightning that lead to excssive rain, or long-lasting snake-like black thread-like clouds that appear out of nowhere.

message: I think it is important that the article references that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is only recognised as a state by Turkey. Without this information, there is no indication of why the event was controversial in the first place. Simply stating that TRNC is recognised by only one state is simply a statement of fact, putting the controversial event in context. I don't believe including it to be POV.

I generally oppose the addition of "Christmas (November-December)" type information to radio station info boxes, particularly in certain formats - such as AC - where it's not all that uncommon. It's different if, say, a Rock station all of a sudden starts playing Christmas music and there is reasonable speculation (AllAccess.com, RadioInsight.com, etc) that the station will emerge from the Christmas format with something entirely different. In instances such as those, sure, list something like "Christmas (stunting)". StrikerforceTalk 21:55, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

*The line "Seemingly overwhelmed by the defense team, and often fumbling objections and the introduction of evidence, Darden may have been intimidated by Johnnie Cochran, a significant figure in the African-American community." clearly shows a non-impartial view of Darden's work, introduces unsupported conjecture and even appears to take a pot shot at a dead man.  I am standing by my removal of it.
::Hey untitled, perhaps you're unaware of what's been written about Cochran, including by his ex-wife? Cochran was diagnosed by a psychiatric professional with narcissistic personality disorder. He was the overachiever type. He had an enormous amount of influence within that community and outside of it. Cochran intimidated a lot of people, including some of those most close to him. So maybe you shouldn't pontificate on a subject you're clearly ignorant on.
