Talk:David Bridie

message: David Bridie is included in the Camberwell Grammar School Gallery of Achievement so he went there rather than Camberwell High School or perhaps his secondary schooling was shared between these schools.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Athleticprowess (talk • contribs) 21:03, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Attended both: Camberwell High School (1979) and Camberwell Grammar School (1980): see here and here. But both sites claim he has won seven ARIA Awards. Its is likely that this total includes those won by his groups rather than on his own as an individual. In any case, I'm not sure of using either site in the article as they are Primary sources and not reliable.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:48, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Negative affirmations 

message: There is a right to "affirm" rather than swear oaths in United Kingdom law.  This right has developed since the 17th Century ( An Act that the Solemne Affirmation & Declaration of the People called Quakers shall be accepted instead of an Oath in the usual Forme   William III, 1695-6) and is now embodied in the Oaths Act 1978.

thread_title:  Affirmation in Law 

message: ===Affirmation in logic===
"In logic, an affirmation is a positive judgment, the union of the subject and predicate of a proposition." The meaning of this sentence is not apparent to a lay person.  The article on logic doesn't cover this term.
The sentence comes from Britannica 11th ed: "AFFIRMATION (from Lat. affirmare, to assert), the declaration that something is true; in logic, a positive judgment, the union of the subject and predicate of a proposition; particularly, in law, the solemn declaration allowed to those who conscientiously object to taking an oath. (See OATH.) .

thread_title: Affirmation in logic

message: "In law, an affirmation is a solemn declaration allowed to those who conscientiously object to taking an oath.  An affirmation has exactly the same legal effect as an oath, but is usually taken to avoid the religious implications of an oath. In some jurisdictions, it may only be given if such a reason is provided."
There is a new separate article on this topic, referred to in Affirmation (disambiguation).  The remaining sections in this page are all about personal development or somesuch and need considerable sorting out.

message: I do not have a problem with criticism about the band included in this article, but statements like these:
Abingdon Boys School has been heavily criticized by many Rock fans in Japan due to T.M. Revolution being a J-Pop star rather than someone who has more experience in the genre.

replies: text: I understand your distress.  When I first saw the page's title I assumed it would be about the school.  However, someone from your IP expressed their unhappiness by vandalising the page, and then vandalising my user talk page when I reverted the vandalism.  I don't think such public misbehaviour reflects well on the school, do you?  As for the legal issues, I don't think they should be your concern.  Perhaps you could bring the matter to the attention of the school authorities and have them look into it, though I'd be surprised if they could do much.  As for Wikipedia, may I suggest that you put together a decent page about the school itself and then put a link to it on the band's page? Philip Trueman 18:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Today, June 6, 2008, the International Energy Agency launched "Energy Technology Perspectives 2008" http://www.iea.org/Textbase/press/pressdetail.asp?PRESS_REL_ID=263.  The press release states 
The Agency’s leading biennial publication responds to the G8 call on the IEA for guidance on how to achieve a clean, clever and competitive energy future. The book is built around three sets of global energy technology scenarios. These are a Baseline (business-as-usual Scenario), a range of ACT Scenarios showing how CO2 emissions could be brought back to current levels by 2050, and a set of BLUE Scenarios outlining how they could be reduced to 50% below current levels. ETP 2008 also contains global roadmaps showing how each of 17 key advanced energy technologies would need to be developed and deployed to deliver the ACT or the BLUE outcomes. Our current path is not sustainable.

Talk:Stanton Street

message: While I understand Anonymous57's urge to make the Wiki citable, there is a great deal in this world that is verifiable but not citable.  City guides, innumerable articles of no individual special merit, and the day to day experience of 8 million New Yorkers are sufficient, in my opinion, to support the reality of Stanton Street.  The simple act of jotting down what thousands have already experienced does not constitute original research.  In general, the history of the recent is often unwritten, and yet easy to check on, and appropriate for the Wiki.  In this case, it is enough just to check a map.I have removed the unsourced tag, which I think is misapplied and irrelevant here and in several similar contexts. - Corporal Tunnel 18:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
