message: During the Rennaissance, and for much of the subsequent century, deceased actors were buried at a crossroads, with a bowl and, in some cases, a stake through the heart, in much the same manner as a Vampire. They were also often distrusted because of their apparent supernatural ability to take on the persona of another individual.

Talk:Health care delivery

message: This article contains a lot of useful information. However, I am concerned that it is somewhat biassed and may also benefit from being renamed as it is focussed on history rather healthcare delivery. There is already an article on Healthcare systems --Vincej 13:13, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I am the author of the article on Healthcare delivery.  I would be quite interested and willing to discuss and change the contents that could be viewed as controversial.
May I mention my background briefly?  (Please do not view this as preening.) I am a neurologist and an academic with health indurance experience. I have written scientific and peer-reviewed articles since 1972.  
My intent in writing this article was to show that cybermedicine is not a new phenomenon and its equivalents have existed for centuries. I do not wish to put down any system of belief.   If I have done so, it is nunientional.  Of course, I ought to alter parts that carry factual errors. Please point these out.   Again, if there are areas that you could improve, do let me know.

thread_title:  Controversial article on healthcare delivery? 

message: Robert and Vincej:
THANKS for your feedbacks.  I am glad that you fiind my work interesting and useful...pleases me.  There was also another contributor who cleaned up my formatting.  I owe gratitude to that person, too.
I agree that I was also ambivalent about the title.  The current holding title of "History" of healthcare delivery is acceptable to me. But, should I come up with somethhing even better I will put that in.  Meanwhile, this being my FIRST wiki-artcile, I am treading with some hesitation.   My background has been publication via traditional academic and orthodox peer-reviewed media.
By the way, how would I identify  this article as emanating from me (some way of identifying authorship and the responsibilities that go with it)?  
Another question is this:  I have legible copies of two illustrations (of written letters) that go back to the Brinkley period (circa 1932).  They will augment my article by showing how they used the radio and written letters back then as media for medical consultations.  I have copyright release also from our Kansas State Archives to publish them.  I would like to add them to my article.
Thanks for your interest, Vincej and Robert. Smurti 14:38, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Aida cloth

message: which part of the article is  "needing factual verification"? --Melaen 13:36, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

message: === History ===
The history of this name is somewhat obscure, and has been discussed several times on the newsgroup rec.crafts.textiles.needlework. The general consensus there is that the cloth was originally named "Java Cloth", and the name was changed to "Aida Cloth" (possibly for marketing purposes) some time around the turn of the 20th century. One post to the newsgroup cites this early definition:
"AIDA CANVAS--This material, introduced under the French name Toile Colbert, is a description of linen cloth.  It is also called “Aida Cloth” and Java Canvas as well as “Fancy Oatmeal” ... A cotton cloth of the same make is known by different names, those most employed being Basket Cloth and Connaught.”
(from the “Dictionary of Needlework”, London 1887, possibly by Sophia Caulfield & Blanche Saward )
Zweigart, a leading textile manufacturer in Germany and Switzerland, has claimed that they developed the first aida cloth in 1890.

Template talk:Confirmation

message: Since this template should only be used on the talk pages, I'm not convinced the category tag is needed. Why would such a category ever be useful? Angela. 13:49, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
:Well, the reason that I included it is that I thought it would be quite easy for someone to stick this on a talk page without actually having confirmation, if they were of a mind. I thought it would be quite helpful to have a list of pages claiming this so that those of you at the PR department could match it to your list of received confirmations.

replies: text: I'm quite suspicious of anything coming out of Stephen Knapp's website. He seems to enjoy a fertile imagination and conjures up conspiracy theories. This is the guy who claims Taj Mahal was an ancient temple called "Tejo Mahalaya", and was not built by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaj. I think almost all (I should say, every one but Knapp) are in consensus about Buddha's birth, that being in the first millenniaum BC. Goutam Buddha is a real person, and when he lived and died are all in recorded history. So, I won't put a penny's worth of credence in Knapp's "fertile" imagination, that occasionally spews such crazy crap. Thanks. --Ragib 20:24, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I notice that half of the pages linking here aren't looking for John Montgomery Ward, to which this page currently just redirects.  (I happen to have been looking for the physicist John Clive Ward, coming from Ward identities, who certainly meets the Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies; some of the other John Wards may not, but still the false link to Monte Ward doesn't seem right).  What does wikipedia culture want done in this case?  No articles exist for the other John Wards so a disambiguation page doesn't quite seem right.

Talk:The Damned (1969 film)

message: The entry for this film reads like an academic position paper of some kind, or at least an academician's explication of the movie, rather than an encyclopedic article. I think it should be redone. It's an important, seminal film, no doubt -- but a lot of what's in this entry seems more well-suited for another context than for Wikipedia. kvltpunk
This is a great article but the entire bottom half is pretty much worded like a movie review full of opinions about the film and the actors.  Looking at the history, I see the lower article was written mostly by an anon user.  The bottom half needs to be cleaned up and rewritten, in my opinion. -Husnock 14:18, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup Notice

message: I basically want to agree with Trueblood's comments, and expand on them a bit.
Now, I hardly know anything about the film (I came here based on User:Trueblood's comments on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films), but giving the article a quick skim, it seems to me that probably 90-95% of the article needs to be dumped. Virtually the entire section labelled 'Analysis of the major critical responses in English' violates 2 of the 3 fundamental Wikipedia content policies: both WP:NPOV and WP:NOR. As for the 'Historical Background' section, because everything in Wikipedia is linked, the only historical context required are perhaps a brief summary of the events, and a quick wikilink to Hitler, or Nazism, or even the Reichstag fire and the Night of the Long Knives. It is then up to the Wikipedia reader to do their own research on the issues. (I'm sure this is in accordance with official Wikipedia policy, I'm just not sure the specific relevant policy right now.)
Personally, I would recommend blanking the entire article (minus the infobox) and starting over. But, not really knowing much about the movie, I don't feel confident enough to do this, and so I leave it up to someone who actually knows about the film, and thus might be better equipped to say what in the article should actually stay. --Gpollock 08:29, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
