message: I went to work for Atlantic Marine as a cost accountant in March 1981. It was not founded in 1980. The company had been around a while. Founded date needs to be corrected.

Talk:Baker High School (Alabama)

message: By far this is a great, formal article. Being a former student, I feel as though I can add more updates. One thing that I have noticed, would be the lack of sources. This article could use more citations for the building and history information. Another flaw, would be the lack of information behind the population growth over the years. More should be discussed on the capacity levels and the growth of students since 1903. The story behind the principle, in relations to Causey Middle School, should be provided as well. 
I also think that this article can use some information about the athletics, clubs ,and organizations that are provided at Baker High such as:
* Dance Team 
* Robotics Club
* Archery
* Football
* Basketball (recently made it to the final 2 in the state of Alabama from the previous basketball season)

Talk:Trinitarians

message: The founding-intention for the Order was the ransom of Christians held captive by non-believers during the time of the Crusades.
:It`s certainly true that the founding intention was to free Christian slaves, but this has to bee seen in a broader picture then just the time of the crusades. Slavery of Christans (and other Nonmuslims) was a problem before the crusades, during and long time after the crusades. Also not only Crusaders where captured and or enslaved. It was a development that culminated in the conflicts during the 16 and 19. century. Barbary States see also: Arab slave trade 62.178.137.216 (talk) 18:44, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

See the Mosaic St. John de Matha had installed in Rome at St. Thomas in Formis for an account of the vision. (See The Order of the Holy Trinity and Captives, by Andrew Witko, Krakow 2008)"

thread_title:  Text relating to image (I think) 

message: This issue was raised over a decade ago but has not been adequately addressed. The article reads:
::The founding-intention for the order was the ransom of Christians held captive by Muslims, a consequence of crusading and of pirating along the Mediterranean coast of Europe.
As pointed about another user (in 2009!!), the enslavement of Christians did not begin with the Crusades and Mediterranean piracy began long before. I propose to change it to read something along the lines of:
::The founding intention of the order was the ransoming of Christians held captive by Muslims as a result of piracy on the Mediterranean and later crusading.
This keeps the general sentiment of the original text but also makes the history clearer, and stops it from being a mere copy paste from an outdated version of the Trinitarians' website.

Talk:Leninets-class submarine

message: I've seen this error at many Western authors. The Romanian gunboat Ghiculescu twice depth-charged L-6, before she was ordered back to the convoy and the hunt was continued by the German sub-chaser. It is not certain the chaser even achieved anything, probably L-6 was sunk by Ghiculescu's blows after a while, or if the UJ did finish her off (which would explain the confusion among Western authors) it's still not right to neglect the role of the Romanian gunboat. 79.118.114.58 (talk) 14:12, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Lapland Air Defence Battalion

message: So the name of the unit - and consequently, the article - is a bit of a mess right now. The current information on the Jaeger Brigade website calls the unit "Rovaniemi Air Defence Battalion". The article name is "Lapland Air Defence Battalion", the lead starts with "Lapland Air Defence Regiment" and the Organization section calls the unit "Rovaniemi Air Defence Battalion". I propose to rename the article to "Rovaniemi Air Defence Battalion" and to use that name throughout the article, except in the (currently) second sentence, which provides the history as "Lapland Air Defence Regiment".

Talk:Lasca

message: Most probably, Lasker just has adapted old Russian game of Bashni(Towers, Башни) also known as Stolbovye shashki (Столбовые шашки. lit."draughts with pillars". The Russian game is played as a variant of Russian checkers(8x8 board, men capture backwards, kings are long-range) and in a book printed in 1875 it was already mentioned as an old and well-known game (see Башни или туры//Сборник игр для семьи и школы. Ред.Вал.Висковатов. Издание А.Черкесов и Ко, 1875 г. С.Петербург.) Pre-existence of the game in Russia could also be palpable in a tradition to represent a king piece in regular checkers as a man turned up side down and not by covering it with another piece.

Talk:Chartered accountancy

message: This article simply repeats the list of professional bodies in the Chartered Accountant article. The fact that the two lists differ simply serves to show that having two parallel articles is bad. How can we justify an encyclopedia that has contradictory articles?
Further, the first sentence is - I think - untrue -
"Chartered accountancy is a distinct profession of accountancy"
:Is it? I don't believe it is. Accountancy is the profession. 'Chartered' is the designation some accountants have. If you looked at a chartered accountant and any other kind of accountant you would not see a difference in what they do.
I think this article should redirect to Chartered Accountant as it is redundant. AnthonyUK (talk) 10:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Michael Walford

message: Two questions come to mind. 1-if he was often called "Micky Walford", does this amount to the common name he was known by such that we should name this article that? Second, is Micky a common enough nickname for Michael that it does not need to be in quotes. The example given in Wikipedia biography manual of style is use William Henry Gates not William Henry "Bill" Gates. The counter example is Elizabeth Stamatina "Tina" Fay which would suggest that here we should either use Michael Moore Walford or use Michael Moore "Micky" Walford, it depends on exactly how you read the references to this issue in the MOS. Here is the full statement "It is not always necessary to spell out why the article title and lead paragraph give a different name. If a person has a common English-language hypocorism (diminutive or abbreviation) used in lieu of a given name, it is  presented between quotation marks or parentheses within or after their name.

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.

The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.
