message: It lacks a "Controversies" section.

Talk:Echis

message: Saw-scales do not hiss as they are a desert viper, and instead rub their scales together to produce a 'buzzing' sound. Hissing releases precious water that the snake needs in it's desert climate...hence the snake does not hiss.  There is a breeder on YouTube that goes by the name ViperHandler whom owns a few of these saw-scales if you are interested in seeing video of these snakes --Bschott 15:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mallow et al. (2003) speculate that the typical Echis stridulating threat display evolved to minimize evaporated water loss. However, in their description of E. pyramidum, they say that this species will suddenly inflate and deflate the anterior portion of its body in order to enhance its strike. I can only image that this is audible. Also, in his description of E. carinatus, Mehrtens (1987) states that the threat display "is accompanied by loud hissing and vigorous strikes." It would therefore perhaps be safest to say that some Echis species do hiss, but that (in lieu of further, more specific information) this behavior should not be described as typical for the genus. --Jwinius 14:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

this article focuses too much on the foreign relations of Italy with the United States, and sometimes takes the point of view of the United States.

Talk:American Chinese

message: American Chinese is a structual mistake for general case!
American Chinese refers to American-heritage Chinese citizen (In fact, this case is quite little), it is confused with Chinese American (Chinese-heritage American citizen.
203.218.20.223 15:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: it is incorrect to say "American Chinese is a structural mistake for general case." For one thing, there are perfectly well-known terms like "Malaysian Chinese" and "Thai Chinese" for referring to Thai or Malaysian citizens of Chinese descent. And for the second thing, there are in fact Chinese citizens of American heritage; I listed several of them under the third bullet point. Anyway, American Chinese is not a widely-used term, so people coming to this page may be looking for several different things. Already, there is one guy linking from his userspace to this page, he really means "Chinese American." So that's why this is a disambiguation page instead of an article. cab 17:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Stormbreaker (novel)

message: There are currently two plot synopses. I would like to delete the second, longer one.
The reasons being, firstly, I don't like spoilers. Yes, I know it should be obvious that if you read a section entitled plot there will be spoilers, but some people can't help themselves, and other people expect spoilers to be marked. Secondly, I don't see the point in having a long, detailed plot synopsis of this book. If it were a Shakespeare play or a novel by Dickens or something else that people have to study, then there are people to whom having a complete plot synopsis is useful. But who is this plot synopsis useful to? No-one, as far as I can see. And thirdly, there are two plot synopses! Isn't that one too many? 
So, does anyone have any objections? Akiyama 17:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not really two plot summaries - I don't think that the official publisher information is really sufficient for this book. For instance, it doesn't reveal very much of what happens, or give us the ending. But I'll agree that the extended one is too long - so something in between the "two" would be good (however, don't just delete it all).
And isn't it possible to add a "spoiler's warning?" as well? :)
DarthSidious 02:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Another important feature is that under the MPC, any action not explicitly outlawed is legal."

thread_title:  references / or 

message: I've moved the section in "Key Features" comparing the MPC to British law to its own "Criticism" section. Neither that nor the defense I raised are completely NPOV, though, and both could use citations. The argument being raised is that in the UK, a jury can vary the scope of a law to meet "social standards," while the response is that "bright line" rules should be used as much as possible to prevent oppressive, arbitrary enforcement and a resulting chilling effect on behavior. Even so, US law is far from a set of "bright lines," as juries are known to effectively practice jury nullification of laws -- a vagueness that contracts the scope of the law. The US also has some laws taking into account "the reasonable man," wherever he's hiding, and the Supreme Court's famously vague "I know it when I see it" definition of pornography. If we get into more of a discussion on the vagueness issue we should distinguish between vagueness that shrinks or expands the range of outlawed behavior. --Kris Schnee 15:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I heard that Catch22 was renamed from Catch18 because this book was released round that time and Heller bowed to making the alteration as he was the newer author.--Nasher (talk) 16:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This may be true. It has been well documented that the original title was not meant to be Catch-22, but that a different number was to be used. Heller first published part of the book as a short story named Catch-18 (New World Writing, 1955). When the book was about to come out (in 1961), somebody pointed out that it may lead to confusion with the book by Leon Uris, this is often referred to. Other suggestions for the number were 11, 14, and 17 (maybe  even more). Heller wanted a repetitive double digit so settled for 22 (in the book things are often repeated: duplicity, and repetition is a common theme for the insanity of the world, i.e. Major Major who is to become Major Major Major Major, a commanding officer who did not like to command). 22 is 2 (duplicity) repeated (duplicity again). There are those who suggest that the fact that the book is called Catch-22 was used by Heller to implicitly suggest that there would be a sequel (which appeared as Closing Time, which was first published in 1994, 33 years later). Catch-22 does not exist. But is now a commonly used expression for senseless rules or rules which contain a circular argument. --83.160.198.125 (talk) 11:08, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
