thread_title:  Russo-Georgian War 

message: I thought the list of declared wars since WWII was an interesting resource. It put into context the reality of the postmodern "declaration of war," the idea that such declarations have too many legal implications to be useful to most developed nations. 
Are we, the people of Wikipedia, abandoning the effort to archive formal declarations of war? I understand the concerns about verifiability. But surely rewriting the list completely would be better than just deleting it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:623:8800:8139:268F:44F3:DC4C (talk) 05:58, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The sourcing was so bad that it's probably better to remove it first. There's been no ruling that we can't talk about particular examples. The editor who removed it, though, is probably correct that "lists of examples" are disfavored in articles. If we really wanted we could create an article called List of declared wars after 1945 or something to that effect. But the issue with the list in this article was the sourcing: Many of the examples were sourced to questionable media accounts. There is also a question of what defined a "declared war" within the context of that list; many of the examples were claims by one or the other government that a state of war existed, which in my view doesn't fit the definition of the concept.And another thing, the definitions section in this article is awful. It's sourced to a single law review article less than 20 years old by an author I've never heard of before in international law circles, which is predominantly about what declarations of war mean within the United States Constitution; and a blog post, that discusses the first article (and touches on a couple of others), written by another American law professor (who appears to have little or no scholarship in international law). Surely, surely, there's something more within the European scholarship, perhaps the Hague Academy of International Law's proceedings, and especially showing the development of the concept over the years. Why are we only seeing information from the late 2000s? Why not the League of Nations era? Why not the early UN era? 69.174.144.79 (talk) 17:13, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

A (by D.A.Pike): To the best of my knowledge, Zebulon had no sons who survived to adulthood.  He did have a daughter Clarissa who married a son of President William Henry Harrison ... as far as I know all of Zebulon's descendants descend from Clarissa.  For more details, try contacting the Pike Family Association.
I've been told that I am a descendant of Zebulon Pike as well.  My parents gave me the middle name of Pike because of this relation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.187.80.37 (talk) 01:13, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Traditional Chinese characters

message: I found wrong information at the Map and its explanation. (in English page)
(1) in the map, South Korea is yellow green with Japan together here. But South Korea has to be changed as Yellow with North Korea.
(2) At the below of the Map, Yellow includes Korea. I personally like the expression of "Korea", but think it has to be North Korea and South Korea here. Now those are two countries. I hope it would be been expressed as "Korea" someday.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylenoh (talk • contribs) 08:11, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  About the MAP 

message: LVTW2, yes, to be clear, Hong Kong's character set is another traditional character standard. Singapore used to have a distinct simplified character standard. I don't understand how this article is supposed to be coherent if it doesn't have a modern, narrower sense which agrees with that of its dual: that these two articles are about modern standards. This terminology did not begin being used until the introduction of simplified characters, the category of 'traditional characters' . Orthodox and variant character forms existed, and those are categories along different lines than now exists between traditional and simplified.It makes no sense to me to give this article the entire scope of Regular script or Jiu zixing, those are also independent articles with distinct scopes. These distinctions and associations should be pointed out in the text of the article, of course. You may as well just merge this article with one of those if going on the looser definition.

Talk:Group 6 element

message: This is really confusing!  Can anyone make this clearer?
Big time this makes no sence........
:I agree - the lead paragraph says that the series does exhibit similarities in electron configuration, but the Chemistry section says they don't. I presume this both can be considered true, depending on whether one is talking about the entire series, or only the first two (Cr, Mo), or the series excluding the first two (W, Sg). Which of these configuration (13,1 in the outer two shells, or 12,2) should be considered "real" series .  I suppose if someone had created some 20 elements beyond Uuo, that might answer it..  But that's probably not going to happen until humans become a Type 3 civilization in 200 or so years - if it's even possible to go out that far (is there a relativistic limit on the maximum size of atoms, or some other final end to the island of stability?)  Anyway, I agree it's confusing..  Also, what is the reason the Aufbau principle is violated?  I vaguely remember that some elements show oddities involving d and f sub-shell electrons.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimw338 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Deleted Section on EMDR as pseudoscience. 

message: We need a statement about this in the lead. Let's try to formulate something. Here are a few thoughts to work with (and correct if necessary):
: If a claim is not falsifiable, it is not a pseudoscientific claim. All scientific claims are falsifiable, and if a belief makes no falsifiable claims, in other words no claim to be scientific, it is not pseudoscientific, but may be classed as a religious belief. The moment a religion makes falsifiable claims, those claims are subject to examination and, if they are falsified, they are then classed as pseudoscientific claims, and many pseudoscientific claims have been falsified.

message: This disambiguation page has been cleaned up by the disambiguation wikiproject. DesertAngel 18:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: This disambig is not really disambiguating anything.  Backpacking (wilderness) and Backpacking (travel) are not nearly different enough to have separate articles.  Additionally, someone looking for backpacker (hip hop) will never even hit this page, mostly because they will no doubt search "backpackER".  Look at what links here and there isn't a single hip hop article.  The two top articles need to be merged into one article, and replace this disambig page.

Some people prefer to take a leisurely approach, staying in luxury accommodations and enjoying fine dining and spa treatments. Others may be more interested in adventure travel, seeking out thrilling experiences such as hiking, skiing, or bungee jumping. Cultural travel is another popular option, where visitors immerse themselves in the local customs, food, and history of a place. Budget travel is also common, where travelers focus on finding affordable accommodations and transportation in order to stretch their money further.
