Incidentally there are twi seats 5Individual Voters° for election of Non Matai.
Also some of the data is out of date and incorrect eg its ii Tupa Tamasese Tupuola Efi (don't know if some jerk has deleted my entry or not on that)and he is now a member of the Council of Deputies.

The word "but" in there reads like "conversely [...]" It'd work if you were about to say that she WASN'T successful overseas. I suggest changing the above sentence to the following:
"She was initially successful on the Polish stage. And after emigrating to the United States (and despite her poor command of English), she also succeeded on stage in America and London."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:8500:6A40:5199:7897:61A6:716 (talk) 01:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Category talk:Ecoregions

message: Can we assume that every island is an ecoregion? I'm tempted to put :Category:Islands as a subcat of this cat, and then remove all the islands from this cat. —Ashley Y 02:24, 2004 Nov 15 (UTC)
:I don't think it's that simple, tho' it probably depends on how you define ecoregions--at this scale, I'd say clearly not. On a more granular scale, relatively large, somewhat isolated islands like Sri Lanka or Iceland might be considered distinct ecoregions. But I really doubt each island of the Azores, Galapagos,  Hawaii, or Maldives is its own ecoregion, but I don't think each entire group is necessarily one single unique ecoregion, either. And coastal groups like the San Juan Islands seem likely to have some overlap with either neighboring islands or groups, and/or parts of the mainland coast. 24.17.48.241 18:06, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Sports (Huey Lewis and the News album)

message: Looks like this paragraph is fanboy and not encyclopedic.  Thoughts?
The sound quality of the 1990’s “Re-mastered” edition has been a topic of debate amongst Huey Lewis enthusiasts. Criticisms of the re-release allege that the sound engineers pumped up the bass and cut back on the high and midfrequencies, resulting in the whole album sounding bloated and muddy. Another pain point tends to be the remastered vocals on “The Heart of Rock and Roll” being slightly out of tune. The general consensus is that the re-release is great for the bonus tracks but is actually of inferior sound quality. The mid-range tones are not there like the original album. The 1980’s CD that is sought out by fans is Chrysalis Records Catalog # VK 41412 DiDx 76 Barcode: 0 4411-41412-2, Manufactured in West Germany. The original pressing has a crisper sound, and a better balance overall. It’s well worth searching out either the original Chrysalis CD or the out of print 24K Gold MFSL audiophile issue CD.

Talk:Causal theory of names

message: : Causal theories of names becamse popular during and after the 1970s as a result largely of work by Saul Kripke and Keith Donnelan, and were eventually expanded to other parts of language, such as natural kind terms by Hilary Putnam.
: The theory is usually advocated by philosophers who deny (1) that most proper names are disguised descriptions (as Russell held), and (2) that there is anything like a Fregean sense attached to a proper name (for example, Saul Kripke, the originator of the theory)
Two problems with these passages.
1. Saul Kripke does *not* endorse a "causal theory of names." The development of the causal theory clearly owes a tremendous amount to Kripke's arguments in Naming and Necessity, but in N&N Kripke explicitly denies that he is offering any comprehensive theory of naming whatsoever--let alone a causal one. This may be a minor point for the purposes of this article; but it is a major one for Kripke's own philosophical method.
2. Putnam's "Meaning of Meaning" was clearly important in making the case for a causal theory of (at least some) natural kind terms. But this was not an "extension" of Kripke's work into areas that Kripke had not already touched on: a very substantial part of the lectures that became Naming and Necessity were already devoted to applying something like his account of proper names to natural kind terms such as "gold" and "water" (and fictional natural kind terms such as "unicorn").
I've edited the first sentence a bit to reflect Kripke's work. I don't know entirely what to do about the first point, though, so I wanted to throw the question out for further discussion. What do y'all think we should do to account for Kripke's reticence about theorizing?

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Netoholic/Evidence

message: I am concerned that Netoholic used IRC as a medium to make decisions regarding significant changes to the page. Though not directly related to the page in this section, Netoholic has stated that "both sides are talking on IRC" (was to do with the In the news edits) . There is no accountability on IRC as logs can be forged (if they are kept at all!). I'm not saying that he did this, I'm merely pointing out that talk pages are to be used for resolving disputes. I beleive that this article was discussed on IRC and decisions were made there.
I have also found Netoholic unwilling to use the talk page. When he did decide to try to use the talk page, it was to remove some disputed text (which, ironically, I find to be somewhat dodgy myself) . In my opinion, this was not done to assist with debate but to try to remove the text in order that people forget about it. However, I am well aware that my opinion is not assuming good faith, so this comment may be disregarded. What I will say is that the reverts that Netoholic has done on the page have caused a great deal of controversy and caused a great many people to become annoyed. He appears to have taken the whole be bold philosophy too far and has made changes that I find to be unacceptable. Removing whole sections numerous times after being requested to take them to the talk page (see above) is quite bad, IMO. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:01, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
