replies: text: Comment: when the request was made, on 6 November 2005, this page was simply Ellington and the editor had a fair point. However if we look here we see that the page about the village was moved away from Ellington on 27 May 2006, thus answering the request. The note added today is therefore not regularly needed, with all due respect, as the confusion has been lifted. I propose to remove it and hope that this is OK.

thread_title: Disambiguation request

message: In a series of edits today,  added a "Notable residents" section whose sole current occupant is the self-admittedly dodgy churchman Keith O'Brien.
Whilst I can see that he is a notable resident, I do not understand why an article about a village requires the level of detail that we now have on O'Brien. My view is that it would be quite enough to have the first sentence, "Keith O'Brien is a cardinal accused of predatory sexual activity.". All the rest should be - and indeed is - in the article about the bloke himself. I feel that it is inappropriate here. Best wishes to all DBaK (talk) 20:29, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Johnson-Forrest Tendency

message: New here, so I'm unsure about etiquette.  
Some mention should be made about Grace Lee Boggs, in many ways as important a figure in the JFT as both James and Dunayevskaya.  Also missing is a sense of scale; though secondary literature on the JFT is virtually nonexistent, my reading into the primary documents at the Reuther archive would suggest they never numbered more than 100 individuals.
But my main complaint is that the fragment fails to mention the JFT was a sectarian group that split apart, and split aggressively.  I've long kicked around the idea that the Johnson-Forest Tendency at once displayed the best and the worst of the US sectarian left.

;Biological effects
In contrast with some other steroids with a methyl group in the 17-alpha position, the liver toxicity of oxandrolone is low. Studies have shown that a daily dose of 20 mg oxandrolone used in the course of 12 weeks had only a negligible impact on the increase of liver enzymes. As a DHT derivative, oxandrolone does not aromatize, and thus does not cause gynecomastia. It also does not significantly influence the body's normal testosterone production (HPTA axis) at low dosages (20 mg). When dosages are high, the body reacts by reducing the production of luteinizing hormone after perceiving endogenous testosterone production as too high; this in turn eliminates further stimulation of Leydig cells in the testicles, causing testicular atrophy.

message: AAS is a common initialism for "anabolic-androgenic steroid". It's convenient because the term "steroid" refers to a far larger class of chemicals, but "anabolic steroid" gets unwieldy and becomes confusing when we're discussing (for example) anabolic-androgenic ratios.

Talk:Italian Democratic Socialist Party (historical)

As far as I know, "Partito Socialista Democratico Italiano" should be translated into "Italian Democratic Socialist Party," gramatically.

Talk:Otto Kerner Jr.

message: User:M dorothy added the following to the main article:
:Kerner was prosecuted by the Richard Nixon Administration. His real "crime" was writing the Kerner Commission Report, which offended the Nixon Administration. In addition, he described the disorder surrounding the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago as a "police riot".
I do not believe this adds to the article in a factual, relevant and verifiable way for the following reasons:
* While it is true that Jim Thompson was a Republican appointee as U.S. Attorney, there is no reason to believe that the prosecution was controlled by the Nixon Administration.  Do you have any support for your allegation?  If the prosecution were politically motivated, it seems much more likely that the goals of the Illinois Republican Party and Jim Thompson's political aspirations would have played the largest roles, not some grudge of the far-off Nixon Administration.
* The Kerner Commission was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967 and delivered its report in early 1968.  Nixon was not elected until November, 1968 - long after the report was released.  Why would the report offend the Nixon Administration?
* You say "he" described the disorder in Chicago as a "police riot."  Actually, the report of the Kerner Commission did state that the attacks by police on the demonstrators, bystanders, journalists and photographer amounted to "what can only be called a police riot."  It would be good to add that information to the current article on the Kerner Commission but it has little to do with Governor Kerner himself. Although he was the chairman of of the Kerner Commission, there is little evidence that he had much to do with the actual authorship of the Commission's report, as your sentence seems to imply.

thread_title:  Kerner Commission 

message: On July 31, User:Tomtptb added the following to the main article:
:I was counsel to Kerner in this case. There are numerous errors. First, Mrs. Everett never admitted bribing Gov Kerner. She said the opposite in the trial. The conviction was based on the testimony of William Miller who said that he offered shares of stock to Kerner and said that it was for him to "look on Mrs. Everett favorably" The conviction had nothing to do with getting throughways built for her track. There was no evidence that racing dates were changed. Kerner reported the stock gains on his tax returns. He always maintained his innocence and maintained that he was offered a stock option, which did not violate any Illinois law. Kerner and his counsel also always maintained that the prosecution was engineered by Richard Nixon and his attorney general John Mitchell because Kerner's victory in 1960 carried Kennedy into the White House.
