Talk:Liberal parties/old

message: I merged the articles liberal parties and worldwide liberalism (I created them both) into one article and deleted paragraph which are allready in the article liberalism. In this way it fits better in the series on liberalism. Gangulf 20:43, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: The reworked list will be published very soon. In this list the following parties are not listed anymore:
*Bermuda:
**National Liberal Party: defunct party
*Cyprus:
**Democratic Party (Dimokratikon Komma): claims not to be a liberal party
*El Salvador:
**Liberal Democratic Party (Partido Liberal Democrático), defunct party
*France:
**Democratic Energies (Energies Démocrates): not a party
**Coalition of French tax payers (Rassemblement des Contribuables Français): seems to be a one man party close to the extreme right
*India:
**Indian Liberal Group: not a party (might develop into a party)
----
Coalition of French tax payers - see http://decrypt.politique.free.fr/partis/rcf/index.shtml . This is a leftist resource, which easily labels right of centre parties as "facho", and as it is itself situated in extreme left, it calls even moderate right as "extreme right". However, even it recognises that Coalition of French tax payers is liberal, not "facho". Compare to some other right of centre parties.
:But what makes it a liberal party. The mentioning at this site that it is a liberal party is for me not good enough. What is the program of the party? I have serious doubts -- Gangulf 15:15, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: The Uses and History sections were cut last year, and moved to the R. tinctorum page.

Talk:Cecil B. DeMille

message: Why note parenthetically ‘adopted’ for Me DeMille’s children? That suggests a distinction’s needed when that’s neither necessary nor appropriate.

message: In the following passage:
::After the release of DeMille's The Godless Girl, silent films in America became obsolete and DeMille was forced to shoot a shoddy final reel with the new sound production technique. Although this final reel looked so different from the previous eleven reels that it appeared to be from another movie, according to Simon Louvish, the film is one of DeMille's strangest and most "DeMillean" film.
to what film does the second sentence refer?  I suppose it must be either The Godless Girl or the film mentioned before this, The King of Kings.  But to me it's ambiguous.  Riordanmr (talk) 03:48, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Rhombus

message: Hi! 
My last edit request section seems to be deactivated... 
Please add the missing expression of the rhombus height h in terms of the rhombus side a and any vertex angle: 
 h = a \sin \alpha = a \sin \beta  ; 
it can be sourced by the following website, where it is featured: 
Furey, Edward. "Rhombus Calculator"; CalculatorSoup, https://www.calculatorsoup.com - Online Calculators. 
Then, please add the missing expression of the rhombus height h in terms of the rhombus inradius r : 
 h = 2r  ; or:  r = {h \over 2}  ; 
it is just mentioned in the little caption under a figure of the article: 
"The height h is the perpendicular distance between any two non-adjacent sides, which equals the diameter of the circle inscribed."

thread_title:  Rhombic icosahedron: Two types of rhombi? 

message: Is there a source for the notion that the word "diamond" is sometimes used specifically for the rhombus that has a 60° angle, rather than as a synonym for "rhombus"? In any case, not all diamonds on playing cards do have this angle. And the rhombus with a 60° angle is not exactly a "projection" of adjacent faces of an octahedron. Rather it is the 2D figure you get if you rotate one of the faces about their shared edge until it is coplanar with the other face. It is a part of a 2D net of an octahedron. So the opening paragraph needs some amendment. Vumbin (talk) 22:17, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Vumbin that the reference to octahedral projections is not correct. Also, playing card diamonds do not generally have 60° angles. On the other hand, I think the reference to "diamonds" having 60° angles is from the usage as a polyiamond, where it does have to be 60°. This opening paragraph needs editing. --seberle (talk) 22:08, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Possibly not notable enough to deserve this article, but I hope you don't use this as a precedent against games. CHL 23:35, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

text: Comment: FWIW, I'm not against game coverage per se, but I'm against breakouts of items from games.  To me, a new and separate article is justified only when a thing is sufficiently different from its master subject as to need separate discussion, sufficiently notable as to be sought outside of its master context, or sufficiently involved as to need the space.  That's why it looks like I'm "against" Big metal box and other game items:  they should be discussed in their natural context.  I usually vote merge and redirect, if it is substantial, but something like the 2 paragraphs of player races found in the manuals just isn't encyclopedic content. Geogre 00:37, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Constitutional history of Canada

message: Perhaps the opening paragraph could explain why the article only deals with what is today central Canada (Ontario and Quebec) until 1867, and why it doesn't deal with any constitutional history of Canada before 1763.  The first point, for example, is relevant to the history of representative democracy in North America, considering the NS Legislature.  The second point, for example, is relevant to the history of women's voting rights, since when the British conquered New France women had the right to vote (under the same restrictions as men, with the added burden of having to own the property in their own name), and so Quebec women became the first women in the British Empire with voting rights, which was removed with the Act of Union and only restored (to women in Quebec) over a century later. In other words the previous legal and constitutional realities did not simply disappear with the Conquest. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 19:18, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
