thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: If anything, the “Evidence against” presented here only support the claim that Miller was indeed Billy the Kid. Of course he would lie about his birth date and other facts – as a fugitive you want to remove any traces that may link you to your past identity. For the same reason, you would be insane to use the same gun or even gun type. It would have been odd if Miller hadn’t lied about the facts or if he had continued to use the same gun. It would have indicated that he had nothing to hide, which was very far from the truth if we assume that he was the Kid. Ron g (talk) 14:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Two claims from this article have been added to Billy the Kid#John Miller.  I also delinked the looped link to John Miller in that article's section.  The only other link that links here is from a DAB page, and that's okay to keep.

replies: text: The "quick copy edits" you performed were mostly not an improvement and therefore I have reverted the majority of your changes. You introduced grammatical and formatting errors and changed the meaning of some parts. The tone of the page is still in need of improvement because much of it reflects early-19th century sources.

It would be good to add a source for this. I don't know much about law, but hopefully I'll be able to find something eventually...
Also, if the International Court of Justice at The Hague dismissed the British government's complaint about the nationalization, was it legal according to international law for the British to "punish" the Iranian government for the nationalization by setting up an embargo? Did the Iranian government ever attempt to appeal to the UN against the embargo?

Unless I am mistaken, this is the term applied to the observation that (a) smart people have less children than not-so-smart people, and (b) intelligence is heredetary, a case that bears mentioning in connection with the eugenics/dysgenics bit. As an observation, it doesn't promote eugenic ideas as such, nor any value judgement about the resulting evolutionary patterns, though many might be inclined to draw such conclusions.

replies: text: I agree with Stan.  While they names really belong in the articles about the individual species, those articles don't exist yet.  All we have is one article about a cultivar.  Until someone is motivated enough to add an article for each species, let's put the authors back again.  Authors are sometimes a pain to put together.Nereocystis 03:30, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Stan as well. We're in the process of describing taxons down to the level of genus, or exceptionally to the level of species (for well-known species). It will probably take many more years before a sufficient number of species have been described. Untill then, let's leave relevant information in the genus article. I propose reverting this article.

Talk:East Surrey (UK Parliament constituency)

message: Surrey East → Surrey East (UK parliament constituency) — the latter is the standard naming convention for parliamentary seats; I tried to do the move myself, but the latter correct page had already been created as an redirect to the former incorrect one, and I was loathe to lose the history, even on a relatively minor page. Wally 15:41, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As per the above discussion, in which no one voiced disapproval at the time, I have returned the page to East Surrey (UK Parliament constituency). As East Surrey reflects a wider area and is used in the name of institutions, some of which like East Surrey Hospital are not in this constituency, it is not overdisambiguating to have the longer name. Although few links are currently misdirected to 'East Surrey', there is also the need to cater for those who search for East Surrey directly - perhaps there should be a disambig page there.

She also had a penchant for anal sex with multiple partners, such as in the feature "Hell Hole", in which she also readily swallowed semen several times while being repeatedly gangbanged.

message: The problem isn't so much that the paragraph is PoV, but that virtually any contemporary (not to mention mediaeval) Provençalist would disagree, not to mention be rather puzzled; the EB citation was probably by a zealous Mareuil scholar, and those tend to be rather biased. Some modern scholars actually see this Arnaut merely as an imitator of his more famous homonym. My advice is, defnitely, to expunge it.
Also, the first amatory epistle, unless Pattison is greatly mistaken, is Donna, cel qe·us es bos amics, by Raimbaut of Orange.
