Talk:Reza Moridi

message: His birth place nor his origin is mentioned in any one of the sources, neither here in English Wiki or Persian Wiki. If no sources are presented in near future I will have those sentences removed. --74.12.102.194 (talk) 22:49, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear 74.12.102.194 (talk), your concerns are valid and duly noted. Modiri’s birth place is correct. However, his ethnicity is what had been misrepresented before the corrections made. Although he was born in Urumiah, Iran but he is an Azerbaijani. I have done some research, and included some of the most credible inline citations as you could find in the biography of the living person, Reza Moridi Liberal MPP, Canadian politician.

message: As there seems to be a dispute over "Controversy over cronyism and government grant" section, I open the topic here. If users have recommendations about making the article more neutral please make your suggestion. Maybe add some new sources refuting the current sources. Farmanesh (talk) 00:06, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Weasel words like cronyism have no place on wikipedia. Furthermore, the section added appears to be a POV attempt to depict the subject of the article in an unduly negative light. Especially since the source listed is about an opposition politician making an accusation. Mr. No Funny Nickname (talk) 14:25, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree this needs to get a more NPOV tone with additional resources. However, as the current version does have sourced material I do not think you should just go about deleting them without trying to improve the material. As of now what I see is that you are just plainly delete resourced material with a blanket NPOV reasoning. Feel free to add more sourced material to make this NPOV, but don't just delete sourced material without any other attempt to improve the article. I will wait few days so you can have enough time to bring new sourced material, after few days I will bring back the currently sourced material. Farmanesh (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Rhea Pillai

message: than in the article.  I've made a few changes, standarding the English, but not the content. 
:Rhea pillai has her own personal life but latest news about her and Manyata is really very disturbing for those who respect her as a Teacher of Art of living, if you can't follow some basic morals in your personal life how can you guide someone else as a teacher?  Money should not be such a big issue in the life of a person who has dedicated her life as a teacher.  All the time Sanjay Dutt cannot be wrong, he has shown maturity for a long time as a ex husband.

Talk:Richard B. Handler

message: For the record, I agree with the removal of the "analysts opinions" and the vast linkfarm in the "Related Articles" section. The analysts' quotes are so long that they'd likely raise copyright issues and should be removed for that reason alone; besides, Wikipedia should summarize what third-party sources say, not just repeat two of them wholesale - not that those sections did cite the actual sources. Regarding the links, some of those related articles may well serve as sources for this article, but then we should summarize their content, not just add a link without context. If someone wants to try his hand at summarizing them, they can be found here. Many of the sources I checked mention handler only in passing, though, often in "... said Handler, CEO" style.

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Lewis Model]] 

message: According to a study conducted by Lars-Olof Delsing and Katarina Lundin Åkesson published in 2005, mutual intelligibility of Scandinavian languages is approximately 50% on average.  Based on the results of this extensive study, it is contentious to state that knowing either Norwegian, Swedish or Danish automatically infers the possession of the other North Germanic languages. 
The study also contains detailed tables on how native youth from different Scandinavian cities performed at the tests on how well they understand other Continental Scandinavian languages.

Talk:Richard Fontana

message: This is not the first time I've made edits to this article (of which I am the subject), and I am painfully aware of Wikipedia's discouragement of biographical article subjects editing articles about themselves, but I wish to comment on the main change in phrasing I have made in this edit. When Bradley M. Kuhn initiated this article in late 2007, at which time we both worked at the Software Freedom Law Center, he described me as "a free software and open source lawyer". While I have tolerated this description up until now, I now consider such a label to be insufficiently precise or meaningful to be justifiable here. One may find the term "open source lawyer" in some minor use, but all it seems to mean is "a lawyer with some interest in legal issues arising in the context of open source software and related matters", or perhaps a lawyer who dabbles in work relating to open source in some way (which itself could mean many different and disparate things). I am not sure analysis of prevailing usage would support even something at that level of precision. It is also inaccurate, in that in my current role at Red Hat, in my previous role at SFLC, not to mention in the several years of active legal practice that preceded my employment at SFLC, my work has been far broader in scope than what I believe may be suggested by the phrase "a free software and open source lawyer".

message: No sources were shown for this article. 
The Wikipedia article as it stands is almost sentence by sentence like the 
second, uncredited article on Murderpedia at http://www.murderpedia.org/male.B/b/biegenwald.htm.
(The first article is a copy of the article from Wikipedia itself.) This second article borrows liberally
(although without any credit) from Michael Newton's book <I>Hunting Humans: An Encyclopedia 
of Modern Serial Killers</I>. 
I have attempted to give credit for such of the facts as I can find in the few reliable sources
that are readily accessible using a search engine. But there is a lot of color in the story that
someone got somewhere, and I have not located a reliable source.
There are several unreliable sources that tell the tale (unreliable because they give no indication of
how the author got the information) but they could prove useful in a further search for good authority:

message: I do not believe this flag is relevant. Looking at the page edits, most were obviously done by the artist himself over a long period of time.

Talk:Richard X. Heyman

message: The article fails to mention that Hayman was a member of the Doghboys in the 60s.  Cosequently, when it mentions that he "went solo," the statement is baffling, because there is no mention of the prior band that he was in.  The article makes it seem that, in his current work with The Doughboys, that he has never played with them before.  He was a crucial member of that band in the 60s.  The way the word "legendary" is used does not sound objective.  It could be changed to "regarded as legendary," etc.
I made these necessary changes.  I have slightly changed and improved the wording to sound more encyclopedic and read more smoothly.   My additions about the Doughboys in the 60's are based on information provided in the Wiki article, "The Doughboys (New Jersey band)" (we should try to list more sources in this article).  I also made mention in the sentence in the heading (which appeared to be incomplete, ending in a comma) that he is also a musician. Garagepunk66 (talk) 10:40, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I have moved it to a separate article entitled Storthes Hall Hospital to allow proper expansion. The full name of the hospital was Storthes Hall Hospital rather than Storthes Hall. Indeed if you google "Storthes Hall" you will find the primary topic is now a large student village accommodating 1,300 students. Many of the links to the Storthes Hall article () are associated with students from the University of Huddersfield accessing the article. But I completely agree with you about the importance of retaining information on the hospital. Nothing about the hospital has been lost - indeed I have significantly expanded the information about the hospital (including infobox, more categories etc).

Thank you for providing this information.
