thread_title:  Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 16 November 2018 

message: Apart from being completely unsourced, the entire section seems to contain an excessive amount of trivial details that would be appropriate in a fanwiki site, but not in an encyclopedia meant to give an overview of the topic. The 4th paragraph seems like it might be salvageable - IF any reliable sources can be found to back up this info. As it stands, it seems very much like the entire section is original research, so I intend to remove it. Please discuss here if you have a problem with this approach, before reverting any changes, thanks. Ewen Douglas (talk) 00:41, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  External scenes on film? 

message: It appears someone has deleted large portions of this page without discussing and coming to a consensus first, for example the *entire* section about the "Prisoner" DVD releases over the years, which details which episodes were in each release, has simply been deleted since I visited this page just weeks ago. I suppose that the possibility of this kind of vandalism is a weakness of just anybody being able to edit Wikipedia pages, but deleting this much content just seems extreme to me. I tried to find the edit and revert it, but I was unable to. 
Perhaps someone else can restore this content? And if the original editor/vandal still wants it mass-deleted, the they can discuss it here and come to a consensus before making any other mass deletions?

Talk:Andrew II of Hungary

message: " After a drawn battle with the Turks on the Jordan River on November 10, 1217 and fruitless assaults on the fortresses of the Lebanon and on Mount Tabor, Andrew started home (January 18, 1218). On the way home, he negotiated with King Levon I of Armenia, the Emperor Theodore I Laskaris of Nicaea and Tsar Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria and arranged several marriage contracts between his children and the courts he visited. When he was staying in Nicaea, his cousins, who had been living there, made an unsuccesfull attempt on his life."

Talk:Übermensch

message: I think the word you're looking for is: "Christianity."
The text says:
"Nietzsche refers to this crucial paradigm shift as a reevaluation of values.[8] According to Nietzsche, the moral doctrine of Catholicism had become outdated."
My understanding is, the only purpose of the word Catholicism is to differentiate it from Protestantism.  (Before the Protestants they were just Christians.)
This implies that Nietzsche thought that the moral doctrine of Protestantism was just fine.
It's also interesting to keep in mind that in Nietzsche's time, even more so than today, the word "religion," was almost synonymous with Christianity & the other Abrahamic desert religions, —to the  audience and world he was speaking to.  I have to wonder if he would use the same terminology if he were writing today?  --Doug Bashford 2607:FB91:7986:6207:7025:4DFF:FE62:35E8 (talk) 07:22, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Catholicism??" 

message: This article gives too much emphasis and prominence to Mr. Safranski's ideas and interpretations. One might even be tempted to think that it might be a not-so-subtle attempt at self-promotion of his own ideas and work. There is nothing in Nietzsche's writing which explicitly mentions or promotes, directly or indirectly, the concept or practice of either eugenics or artificial selection. Nietzsche's concept emphasizes qualities of character, not biology. His descriptions of the "Last Man" similarly describe character traits, not biological ones. By putting too much emphasis on Mr. Safranski's interpretations, the article draws an unreasonable amount of attention away from Nietzsche and, more specifically, the theme of the article, and puts the spotlight on a different author espousing unrelated ideas. 73.8.2.185 (talk) 15:23, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Belief in evolution  

message: For example, using the argument that most Americans support the death penalty as an argument for the death penalty is an appeal to the majority and does not logically support the argument.
Sure it does, for those who take the position that law is supposed to represent the will of the majority. GreenReaper 07:50, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That whole section looks a bit tacked on, and I'm not sure that it adds anything to the article that isn't stated in the first section.

Talk:Choline

message: I'm trying to make a case for evolution. I'm trying to locate information on where choline is stored in the human body. According to the NIH health professional fact sheet for choline, choline is stored in the human liver. I would believe most choline in the human body is stored in the human intestines and some in the kidneys along with the liver. I'm looking for this information online, but am having difficulty finding it. I know that animal intestines are composed of a large percentage of choline. Same with other organ meats. I just need some nutrition text book or verifiable research that can be posted as a reference to show that the vitamin like substance free choline is stored in the human intestines or phosphatidylcholine choline for that matter. If you find this information, could you please add this detailed information on the choline page. Thank you! 69.176.9.135 (talk) 15:32, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
