Webster simply didn't know what he was talking about, or else deliberately chose to present a false analogy. His logic is valid in terms of ordinary contract law, but not of feudal relationships - which are what have passed down into this sort of constitutional and international law. With those, it is not like contract law at all. Contract law roughly says that the keeping of a promise is exchanged for the keeping of another promise, but feudal law says that the making of a promise is exchanged for the making of another promise, with the keeping being separately enforced and independent of the keeping of the other. (There is the possibility of a loophole, in that each promise may itself say "...provided the other promise is kept".) All this comes from the fact that there is no outside supporting and enforcing framework, unlike contracts within a polity. PML.

message: Which article are you evaluating?
Music video
Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose music videos to evaluate because I'm interested in music videos, and music videos can visually bring great visual and auditory effects. This article tells the history of music is bland development and some excellent and famous music works, more people can understand what is music video.
Evaluate the article
Firstly, the article is so detailed and dense, as well as the long span of history, that young people may have less knowledge of these aspects that it makes for an easy read. This article could have been streamlined with music videos and historical developments for each time period. Secondly, this article is relatively neutral and does not appear biased in any way. Finally, the sources for this article are all through different articles as well as articles from different time periods.

Talk:Gamma-ray burst

thread_title:  Add the light curves of all known grbs 

message: In the section on 'Energetics and Beaming'
:"Assuming the gamma-ray explosion to be spherical, the energy output of GRB 080319B would be within a factor of two of the rest-mass energy of the Sun (the energy which would be released were the Sun to be converted entirely into radiation).
:No known process in the universe can produce this much energy in such a short time."
I find "within a factor of two" to be problematic. Since it could mean higher or lower by a factor of two? Also, in the original paper it isn't clear how a calculation of the energy of this GRB would be performed under the assumption that it is a sphere. 
I also find the "no known process" troubling, since event GW150914 (gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole inspiral) released 3 solar mass rest energy equivalents in 0.2 seconds.

thread_title:  Wording 

message: It doesn't say anywhere what exactly the units in the Y axis are in this image. It just gives arbitrary figures with no context. Even the description asks what units it's in. Which should be a red flag.
I think if this were presented as a text edit (hypothetically), with content of equal quality, and lacking or cotext, it would seem likely it would be questioned at the very least, and likely removed. But, please correct me if I'm mistaken in this presumption.
There are other potential issues, like the graphs all beimg wildly different scales, which can be misleading. But I think the lack of any proper units for Y should be enough.
I would suggest fixing the graphs so they're at least logarithmic or something to get them all to the same scale,, if possible. It's very interesting information and it's a shame it isn't more accurate. But, unfortunately, without even knowing what units Y is, it seems it would be best to remove it outright.

thread_title: Untitled

message: (I did not want to add this, since I am not even a math student, and I could be wrong on some points. But I believe that this approach will help many, many more readers understand the concept. I hope someone with more statistics knowledge could read it and consider adding it, instead of the current crows example. Note that my example also contains crows ;) )
West Hill Highschool has 422 students. The principle wants to know the average grade of the students. Fortunately, all the grades are written down in a protocol, and he can easily calculate the average. In this case, the set of all students is the population. 
He also wants to know what the average weight is for the students, but this is not written down anywhere. He could ask them all to show up for weighing, but it would be a timeconsuming process. Instead he takes a sample of the students (population), i.e. a subset. With a sample of 50 students, he is able to do a reasonable estimate of the average weight of the all students (population). 
In the highschool example, he knows exactly how many students there are, and if worth the trouble he could actually examine each entity in the population. But in other cases, the population can be of unknown size. E.g. the number of crows in a county. And even if the size of the population is known, it can be impossible to collect data for every entity. 
Knowing the size of a population does not allow us to make better estimates, but it allows us to better know how much to trust in our estimates. Statistics is not simply about giving estimates, but about calculating the probability of different prognoses being true. Say we have made an estimate of the average weight of the crows, by weighing a sample of 25 and the average weight was 1000g. We might then estimate the average weight of the population to be 1000g, and claim, that the average weight of the whole population must be between 900g and 1100g. If there is a total of 30 crows in the county, that gives our claim a high probability of being true. However, if there are 50.000 crows in the county, the probability of our claim being true is smaller. 
There are also populations that are infinite. Say we want to measure the mean temperature over a year. The population is points in time in that year. We could do measurements, every day, every hour, every minute, etc. But even if we make a measurement a million times per second, we still have not covered all points in time. 
The terms sample and population make most sense in relation to eachother.

Talk:Valkenburg, South Holland

message: Is there a legal difference in town and village in the Netherlands?  --rmhermen
:Historically there has been a difference. Now it is a mainly a matter of size: in Dutch a small built-up area is called dorp (village), a large one stad (town or city). However, small places which historically were stad are now stadje (little town). Nowadays there are no legal differences. The bot that produced most articles on municipalities in the Netherlands did not make these distinctions and used 'town' in cases where 'village' is more appropriate.
:In Dutch the word 'plaats' (place) can be conveniently used to avoid bothering about the distinction.
:Patrick 09:55 Nov 15, 2002 (UTC)
::Perhaps you should change them to city then because "village" and "town" are roughly equivalent but contrasted to the legally different "city" in most places I am aware of. Also "town" sometimes refers to the completely different concept of "township". --rmhermen
:::Seeing it historial, some Dutch places do have "stadsrechten" (city- or townrights), other don't. A place with a population more than 50.000, they call a city. Lower than 50.000, they call a town (with cityrights) or a village (without cityrights).--Ortjens (talk) 18:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

message: In 2016, U.S. President Barack Obama said, "Ray Charles's version of 'America the Beautiful' will always be in my view the most patriotic piece of music ever performed—because it captures the fullness of the American experience, the view from the bottom as well as the top, the good and the bad, and the possibility of synthesis, reconciliation, transcendence."
Looking at the quote source, you find this:
“American history wells up when Aretha sings. That’s why, when she sits down at a piano and sings ‘A Natural Woman,’ she can move me to tears—the same way that Ray Charles’s version of ‘America the Beautiful’ will always be in my view the most patriotic piece of music ever performed—because it captures the fullness of the American experience, the view from the bottom as well as the top, the good and the bad, and the possibility of synthesis, reconciliation, transcendence.”
Makes me think everything after the hyphen is referring to Aretha's 'A Natural Woman' and not 'America the Beautiful.'
