Talk:Battle of Yunlin-Chiayi

message: I have been contributing extensively during the past few months to the various articles dealing with the Japanese invasion of Taiwan (1895), and have found no evidence whatsoever to support the claim that there was a Formosan victory at Yunlin on 1 and 2 September 1895.  I have described the military operations in September 1895 in the Background section to my article Battle of Chiayi.  There was indeed some fighting around Yunlin in early September, but it ended, as usual, in a Formosan defeat.  The notion that the Japanese were driven out of Yunlin is absurd.
Unless anyone can provide some evidence to support the assertions in this article, I intend to propose it for deletion.

message: The last sentence of the opening paragraph states that US 202 is the only route from NJ to CT without passing through the city. However, Interstate 84 in New York and U.S. Route 6 in New York, while not entering the jurisdiction of New Jersey, both reach very, very close to the border near the tristate monument, and in I-84’s case, it is literally inches away from NJ. US 6 might be too far from NJ, but I-84 has an exit that connects directly to the northern terminus of New Jersey Route 23, providing access from an I-84 ramp, giving another way between NJ and CT. I don’t know if that counts as a second road, but it should add something to the end of that sentence, something like “… (although other roads through NY come very close to NJ)”.

Talk:In Flanders Fields Museum

message: 1.  there was a big article in NYTimes printed late edition on Wed., Nov. 26, 2008.  i'm sure it's available behind the annoying big-brother "garden wall" at nytimes.com.  the article might assist in expanding this stub.
2.  in the newspaper article, the original name of the museum is provided as "Ypres Salient Museum."  article not clear on when name change occurred but i inferred it is a relatively recent change.  thus, i think wiki aricle should include mention of original name.  perhaps museum's website (http://www.inflandersfields.be/) can clarify.
3.  the current name in the newspaper article is styled "In Flanders Fields Museum" (with no possessive as styled in this wiki article).  i'm not overly familiar with the "famous" poem In Flanders Fields, but the poem's wiki article is also styled without possesive.  the museum's website itself (http://www.inflandersfields.be/) also has no possessive.  the possessive is probably an errant typo.

replies: text: I support Acidtoyman, and the article title should be corrected to "Kawane-honchō", or maybe "Kawane (town)" instead, as there is Kawane,_Shizuoka in the same prefecture. Many cities/towns in Japan, including this example, are called  (and elsewhere ). In this sense, it does not make sense to abbreviate honchō to hon. 
* The official website for the town writes they are Kawanehoncho: http://www.town.kawanehon.shizuoka.jp/en/default.asp

(Bring page into compliance with WP:MOSDAB.)
The above-captioned revision made numerous changes and introduced one grammatical error. Corrections were as follows:
*"In most cases, place the items in order of usage, with the most-used meanings appearing at the top and less common meanings below." -- WP:MOSDAB
*The items were not in this order after the above revision. Frequency of use on the internet was used as the criterion for determining "most-used meanings," and the items were re-arranged in that order, following multiple advanced searches with various search engines.
*The previous order is felt to have been more logical, but we will comply with your interpretation of  MOSDAB.
*The explanation of October being the tenth month was restored, as this is a common problem for people who are bilingual in English and Spanish.
*The removal of bold-face for the initials of the various acronyms and abbreviations is felt to be an unnecessary loss of information which decreases readability of the article, but will be left as is for the moment.
*Documentation of the use of the phrase "Official Conspiracy Theory," as demanded by previous editors, was removed by this edit, but will be left out unless again demanded by a future editor.

Talk:Dwight L. Armstrong

message: This seems like a good article, but it badly needs to be referenced correctly. There are some inline cites, but much of the material is not cited. The Criticism section, in particular, needs refs that aren't blogs.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 05:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: There have been some who have considered the hymns of Dwight Armstrong in a negative manner. As Armstrong was not professionally trained, some of his writing lies outside of traditional harmonic part-writing, some of which the editors of the 1974 and 1993 editions of the Worldwide Church of God hymnals attempted to correct. Others have drawn attention to the subject matter of the hymns. For example, the texts of some of the hymns come across as self-loathing on the part of the worshipper. For examples of such observations, see the following link: http://www.theseekerblog.com/?page_id=104 (titled "WCG Hymn Reviews"), the content of which was written by someone who had grown up in the Worldwide Church of God.
Some have expressed the opinion that Armstrong's hymns are not "Christ centered". One should keep in mind that the majority of the hymns written by Armstrong are drawn from the Old Testament, some of which do indeed draw upon messianic passages from the psalms. Examples of hymns drawn from messianic psalms include Why Do the Nations Make Plans in Vain? (based on Psalm 2) and My God, My God (based on Psalm 22).
His hymn "Go Ye Therefore Into All the World" is drawn directly from the gospels of Matthew and Mark. Others believe that some of the texts were intentionally chosen in order to create fear in the worshippers.
---------
I had added a link to my blog, which detailed most of the more popular hymns from the Purple Hymnal, but the link to the main blog was deleted, and a link to discussion on one particular hymn, "God is My Rock My Salvation" was included instead.
As I stated in the discussion thread that grew on that particular post, my aims were solely to present the fear and misery and self-loathing (as stated in the comments above) that singing the hymns over and over, week after week (and sometimes day after day, depending how religious the household), had on its members.
I was born and raised in the Worldwide Church of God from 1976 until 1996.
Oh and by the way, Ambassador College was not an accredited university until the mid-90s, it was a bible college specifically for the Worldwide Church of God. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Purplehymnal (talk • contribs) 02:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Desi (disambiguation)

message: the Dési were also an Irish [Celtic ] clan
The Desi were a Clan of Bregia in Meath. They were exiled from their lands by Cormac MacArt, the Ard Rig at Tara. In the story "Inndarba inna nDesi" it is told how one of the sons of Cormac named Cellach raped a niece of Aonghus, the Chief of the Desi. When Aonghus heard of this he went before Cormac and called for justice. Cellach denied the charges and, in a rage, Aonghus grabbed a spear and slew Cellach. In the fray , Cormac lost one of his eyes to the butt of the spear wielded by Aonghus and therefore lost his kingship as well. A man could not be King who was not perfect, and the thrust of a spearbutt had caused an imperfection in the King and caused the position to be given to his son Caibre. The Desi were driven from their lands. Some settled in Munster while others were driven out of Ireland altogether into southern Wales.

Talk:Kennedy and Latin America

message: Suggestions for improvement:
1. This article is mainly about the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missle Crisis. Is there anything on this page that is not already said in those respective articles?
2. The section on Kennedy's legacy, once again, mostly refers to these two incidents. Is there anything that can be added to describe Kennedy's legacy in Latin America at large, which I believe was supposed to be the point of this article?
3. The article seems to present a one sided view that the Alliance for Progress was mainly a sham to protect US interests with a "facade of humanitarianism". This doesn't seem like NPOV, and does anybody know if it is indeed an accurate representation, i.e. if there were any concrete results from US aid? I know that Kennedy is generally remembered fondly in Latin America, and has even appeared on postage in some countries.

This product was developed into a "whip car", a tethered vehicle which could be manually swung in a circle at high speed. Nitro- and gasoline-powered tether cars with .60 cubic inch miniature engines capable of speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) were quickly becoming popular.
