Talk:California Native Plant Society

message: I was doing research prior to creating a page titled "Native Plant Society" or "Washington Native Plant Society," when I found this article, and also Utah native plant society. I think that I will start looking into creating a category for articles about regional native plant societies. However, if there is a global organization that we can merge these other articles into, then that might be a better solution.Michael J Swassing 02:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not seeing anything in the article that implies that there is a global organization. Am I missing something, or are you wanting to add something along the lines of "CNPS is one many unrelated societies for native plants in the United States"? I'm not sure that it is necessary to make that point explicitly. It would be more appropriate to make that clarification if we had an article on native plant societies in general (like humane society, which clarifies that local humane societies operate independently with no umbrella organization).

message: A number of IPs have attempted to remove this long-standing section, claiming that it is incorrect, wrong, fake, or giving no reason at all. 
I've removed the portion about the religious conversions since the connection to the school seems minimal, but the discussion of the financial improprieties seems well-sourced. What is the problem?  It may reflect poorly on the school, but that is not a reason to remove it. Note that some of the IPs also removed  notable alumni, the reference section,  the external links, etc., all supposedly also  fake or incorrect, so I'm having a hard time assuming good faith here.

Talk:Tonkori

message: *Need to clarify the tuning; I understand it's re-entrant in fifths (all within one octave?), variously described as "F, C, G, D, A" or "a'-d'-g'-c'-f'", but I'm not clear specifically which strings are lower. By nomenclature is " c' " the lowest pitch in the " ' " octave? To avoid this confusion, it'd be good to get a basic diagram of string layout and a musical staff representing the relative pitches.
*So far as strings, I understand gut was traditional, but I think I read something that some people use modern shamisen silk strings on these currently?
*There are a number of refs which mention the various roles of the instrument (lullabies, trance, repelling ghosts) so those would be great to add.
*One ref mentions the tonkori ovasi ("musical instrument demons") but I can't see more in the snippet. Another example?
*Parallels with the wagon and with Jomon-era zithers?
*Parallels with the kacapi (not the big zither, the small dulcimer-like ones)?
*Are tonguri and tongari alternate spellings? The 1969 Asian Review mentions this as a "national instrument" seemingly in the context of the Ainu.

Talk:1978 California Proposition 6

message: There is at least one other major initiative known as the "Briggs Initiative."  Most notably, Prop. 7, 1978, dramatically expanded the scope of California's death penalty.  It was intended to "give Californians the toughest death-penalty law in the country," by which its proponents meant the law "which threatens to inflict that penalty on the maximum number of defendants."  California now has one of the most expensive, least efficient death penalty systems in the country, with 660+ inmates on death row, costing both the state and federal government millions and millions per year.

OF THE DEATH PENALTY IN CALIFORNIA, http://www.ccfaj.org/documents/reports/dp/official/FINAL%20REPORT%20DEATH%20PENALTY.pdf

replies: text: Sounds like a good suggestion: go ahead and make it so!  California Proposition 7 (1978) is a redlink on John Briggs (politician), so I suggest that you just click on that link and make a new page under that name.  It probably makes sense to put disambiguation language on the top of this article instead of making a whole disambiguation page, as both Briggs initiatives are named after the same person. While constructing the page, it would be ideal if you could find sources that focus on that proposition instead of just mentioning it, but from your two sources, it certainly looks like the proposition is notable enough to have its own wikipedia page.  -  Enuja (talk) 23:09, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  unsourced claim removed 

message: Do we really need a "California Mental Health Services Act" and a "California Proposition 63 (2004)" article? No one is keeping either page up to date. The most recent reference from either article is from 2011. This is an ongoing California program receiving/spending multiple billions yearly. The resulting commission responsible has multiple meeting per month. The way it is now, timely information would have to be posted in two places. To avoid duplication, at minimum, the “California Proposition 63 (2004)” article should only give brief mentions (with links) to underlying law and its resulting organizations.
In addition, both pages read like brochures for the California MHSA law. This law has become controversial after receiving over $15 billion since 2004. As I already mention on one Talk page, both articles list all the positives with little of the criticisms or controversies, such as an negative investigation by the California State Auditor, extremely critical Little Hoover Commission report, or statements by Rose King who helped author the original bill (who isn’t even mentioned in either article).
