thread_title:  Spell BALM not BOMB! 

message: It's not clear to me how these designations were determined. Certainly where I come from "pray like Peter" is traditional and "sing like angels" is not. But the very idea that one is in an overarching sense traditional and the other is not bespeaks a lack of understanding of the folk process, which rules supreme in the vast majority of spirituals. --Haruo (talk) 15:43, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Traditional vs. Alternative 

message: I love the old hymns and spirituals, they put Truth to rhythm and melody, they sing of God's mercy and judgment on the wicked and freedom for sinners through the saving grace of Jesus's redemptive work. Africans did not come across the Atlantic already knowing Jesus, the concepts of atonement, the healing that comes from Him--they were taught it by merciful, lawbreakers who recognized the horror of human slavery, the abomination it was before the Lord, the lost condition of these people. And the world gets the beautiful, sometimes mournful, sometimes upbeat songs of hope that sustained a people until they would be freed from chains of slavery as well as from the chains of sin. 2603:6081:2107:6E97:495:36AD:BBD2:619D (talk) 13:00, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:1500 metres world record progression

message: This distinction between manual and electronic timing is misleading and should be dispensed with. For one, it makes the assumption that if a time was recorded to the tenth of a second, it was manually timed. This is not necessarily so. The true distinction here is when the IAAF required fully electronic times for records, in 1981. Some of the previous records were electronically time, some not.
Also, some times were more properly recorded to the fifth of a second and should be rendered as such. To do decimal equivalents implies a level of accuracy which was not there. Canada Jack (talk) 17:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:University College Boat Club (Durham)

message: "The club blades are cardinal with a white chevron. The oldest college clubs in Durham all feature a white chevron and cardinal is the colour of University College."
Surely the only two colleges which use a white chevron are Castle and Cuth's. Hatfield CBC is older than SCSBC and does not feature a white chevron, neither does SJCBC or SCCBC, which is also quite old by college standards, so it is just coincidence that two old college boat clubs have white chevrons and there is no real basis for this statement?

thread_title: Content disputes

message: Before the committee deliberates (it's too soon though), it should keep something in mind. AdilBaguirov tainted my Wiki-experience, he had me and Eupator almost banned. He attempted with his socks to drag Marshall and Vartan into revert wars to have them restricted. He was mostly responsible for the first AA1, and his influence was even responsible of AA2, and now a third arbitration case. Some Armenian users have edited much less or have stopped editing altogether because of him. 
So when judging my "harassment" towards Ehud, it should have this in consideration. I also caution it to pay more close attention to Grandmaster’s evidence, he is distorting everything. For example I never accused Elsanturk of being Adil, I said that there is evidence that he is implicated (I meant meatpuppeting for Adil) but dropped this as I tried to restrict it to Ehud. - Fedayee (talk) 17:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Fano-Fossombrone-Cagli-Pergola

message: I removed the Italian Republic flag (of 1946) icon from the Infobox, in accordance with several sections of WP:ICON; specifically (quoting),
* Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many....
*Flags make simple, blunt statements about nationality, while words can express the facts with more complexity. [Fano was part of the Holy Roman Empire, the French Republic, the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, and the Papal States.] 
*Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure [including some bishops], event, object, etc. Political boundaries change, often over the span of a biographical article subject's lifetime. Where ambiguity or confusion could result, it is better not to use a flag at all, and where one is genuinely needed, use the historically accurate flag.

message: For the record, the above move is not supported by policy.  The proposal claims it is based on WP:SMALLDETAILS, but that section of WP:AT specifically allows for small detailed differences in titles like the dash in Bon-Bon.  The only exception "may not be sufficient if one article is far more significant on an encyclopedic level or far more likely to be searched for than the other."  No evidence of one article meeting this criteria was provided, much less that this small detail disambiguation in this case is not sufficient (begging the question... not sufficient for what?  It's a different title - how is that not sufficient?) --В²C ☎ 20:33, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Marco Spallanzani

message: This article is a loose translation of the biography printed on the back flap of Spallanzani's Ceramiche alla Corte dei Medici nel Cinquecento (1994).  I created it because when I tried to find information on him (both through Wikipedia and Google) I came up entirely dry, and Spallanzani is the foremost authority on Medici porcelain.  It wasn't until months later that I managed to actually get my hands on his book and figure out who he actually is.  There is a reference to him in the Medici Porcelain article citations - I will try to link it, if I can figure out how, but am never very good at these things, and so would love some help!!  
Also, there were two things that I had a little trouble translating:  ricercate suppellettil which I translated as "much sought after furnishings," and presso which I translated as "by" [presso i Medici e le maggiori familglie...  = "by the Medici and the most important families"].  If anyone would like to tweak these word choices, that would be great - my research on the terms came up inconclusive!  Thanks, Isocephaly (talk) 17:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
