Talk:Andrew Wyeth

message: I made a number of edits to the article, so I thought I would summarize what I did,
* provided citations for uncited content, rewording content from the cited source
* under "Works", I made two new subsections, "Windows" and "Portraits"
* moved paintings from "Other main paintings" to the relevant subsections (like Brown Swiss to Kuerner Farm)
* Bibliography and sfns for Duff references (there were at least three different types of citations)
* Grouped items "In popular culture" so that it's easier to read / comprehend
* Cleaned up items in "Further reading" - eliminating sources already used in the article and eliminating duplicate books / versions
* Cleaned up "External links" - eliminating links that don't provide much or additional info, removing dead link, and grouped a bit. Moved two links to "In popular culture"

message: Hi, the article was previously using the IAST spelling of Śailēndra which IMO, is confusing. Ś is romanised further to Sh which is also used by reliable sources instead of Śailēndra. Thanks. --Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 16:54, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes the Shailendra is also correct and used in Brittanica. Yet, the common spelling of this dynasty in most of english language sources (books, journals, news etc.) is Sailendra without any "h" or written in "Ś". In Indonesian we even have also equally valid spelling as Syailendra, yet I think we should stick to common most simple spelling instead of favouring certain Indian/Sri Lankan/or certain Indonesian versions/spellings (Sh or Sy). Plus, I think it is weird to have Sailendra dynasty article, but having the Shailendra spelling all throughout the article. Gunkarta  talk  18:18, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Other user already moved the page from Sailendra to Shailendra. And after careful thought, I think the spelling Sh (although less common in most of literatures) is actually right, more close to the original Sanskrit spelling. Cheers. Gunkarta  talk  11:04, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Jehovah's Witnesses/Archive 12

message: I think that all the concerns about aggressive door-to-door prozelytizing should go together. David.Monniaux 17:26, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prozelytizing 

message: I find this wording a bit too general:
"They do not accept the modern theory of evolution of species based upon Darwin's theory of natural selection."
The modern definition of a “species” is very specific (this is explained in w54 1/15 62-63) and I’m worried that the statement could be misunderstood as stating that Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t believe that variations can occur within animal kinds. This would conflict with some of the information provided by the faithful and discreet slave class. For example, under ‘Ark’ in the Insight book, the second paragraph under the subheading ‘Ample Carrying Capacity’ explains how the hundreds of thousands of “species” of animals today could be reduced to comparatively few family “kinds” that would fit into the ark. (g88 12/8 24-27 explains why this still conflicts with the theory that life evolved from goop since family “kinds” cannot breed together)
Also, the term “the modern theory of evolution” encompasses some important mechanisms, such as that of genetic drift. What I’m saying is that the MODERN theory of evolution no longer refers to the theory that everything evolved from goop, but can also refer to the process by which variations are formed within animal kinds. It’s a bit like talking to someone about the trinity; sometimes, when people say, “I believe in the trinity!” they may simply mean that they believe in God, Jesus and God’s active force rather than meaning that they believe that all three are one and the same.
My rewording is as follows:
"They do not accept the theory that all species on Earth evolved from one source of life."
This is more accurate than the previous wording. I also removed the references to Darwin and Natural Selection as they are redundant.
:Sigh, Darwin was a person, Natural Selection is a process. They could not be redundant as they are different things! - --DannyMuse 22:43, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Talk:CFRB

message: "The station, like most talk radio stations, was historically conservative, but has increasingly become one of the most liberal major talk radio stations in North America".
As much as I hate to open up what generally turns out to be a big can 'o' worms...huh??
CFRB has moved somewhat to the left by adding liberal hosts such as John Moore to balance conservative hosts such as Bill Carroll, but I'd describe its position as studiously balanced. The CRTC, after all, technically requires that broadcasters present a balanced viewpoint. Note also that Michael Coren (gasp) is back, which is not exactly going to win them any points with most liberals. -Dhodges 00:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I agree with what you said about Vicente Amigo. However, what we need to consider is, to whom we should dedicate our appreciation in changing the way flamenco guitar been played? No one can ever deny that Paco de Lucia was the one who revolutionized flamenco in a way which no one did before. Plus so many young guitarist started following his foot steps and imitating his style.
I personally admire and love Vicente's style and music, and there is no doubt that he is one of the top flamenco guitarists today..no doubt.

thread_title: VFD

message: Since I ended up being involved in this minor confusion, here's my account of what happened:
#SqueakBox nominated this article for deletion, saying it's redundant with Politics of Honduras.
#I pointed out there was no need to use VfD for that — SqueakBox could simply do a redirect.
#SqueakBox agreed, did the redirect, and withdrawed his nomination (by asking for an admin to close the discussion).
#I closed the VfD, since it was withdrawn (AFAIK admins are not needed to close simple cases).
#Wilfried Derksen reverted the page to a version without the redirect.
I believe this is not a VfD problem; it's just a normal discussion about where the content should go. The unanimous consensus was to keep (redirect and merge are just special cases of keep). If needed, the discussion can go to the talk pages. Wilfried Derksen did nothing wrong by reverting; there was no consensus then, since the VfD had been (albeit implicitly) withdrawn.

And since the english translation omits the "Revenge" moniker for the early chapters, those should probably be removed as well.
I thought this would be appropriate, since Wikipedia seems to favor official english translations in favor of fan-made Japanese ones. Plus, the chapter page links to ISDN pages for the official Dark Horse books. --Marcg106 17:08, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
