thread_title: Title

message: There are two references in the article to his having "stepped down" but no explanation of the contest -- age, illness, unpopularity, politics ...? It seems most un-encyclopedia to leave it at "stepped down," which does not help the user gain any grasp of Botswana's politics and history. Lawikitejana 09:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Stepped down"?

message: I removed the section on Garek, which was said to be at: garek.co.za.  Both this and the news story were dead links. This article does suggest that the company was facing some difficulties in 2009, but the only mention of Quett Masire in the article is this: "Garek - which at one stage boasted former Botswana president Quett Masire as a director - comprised an array of little-known subsidiaries which ranged from resources and energy to construction and financial services."
That he was once a director, and that the company got into trouble later, doesn't really make for much for this particular biography.  If Quett Masire was in some way directly implicated in the scandal, then it might argue for inclusion.  But I haven't found that yet.  (Although I have just started to study this.)--Jimbo Wales (talk) 04:18, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Air incident 

message: It seems that Masire called himself Ketumile Masire, not Quett Masire, for the past 20 years or so, see http://www.sirketumilemasirefoundation.org/ for his foundation etc. Therefore the lemma might be adjusted to Ketumile Masire. Most interwikis are on Quett Masire, though. Any opinions? --Vanellus (talk) 20:14, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Gulfstream Park

message: Based on how the article is presented, I have added three Cleanup tags for copy editing, citations and undue weight. There are certain sections of this article that are disorganized, some that need references, and others that I don't think are very necessary or germane (for example, the record achievements of jockeys and trainers listed in the history of the track could very well belong in the articles of those individuals). Certainly a lot of details sprinkled around that I feel would take some time to sort through. JRHorse (talk) 12:46, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Upper Occoquan Sewage Authority

message: New article, still in progress.  I would like to also add the Norman Cole plant if possible.  The UOSA plant is particularly interesting because it supplies between 50% and 90% of the drinking water for western Fairfax County, a relative rarity.  People in Fairfax are literally drinking reclaimed sewage that has been filtered through the reservoir.  I am currently researching the technology involved.

Talk:Æthelhelm

message: I tried to make the lineage easier to follow. There were so many "his son was" statements that it was very difficult to tell who was who. It's still not well written, but I think one can at least follow the progression now.
Check for google book sources, there is absolutely no evidence that Aethelhelm was the son of a King of Wessex.
Aethelweard the Historian says he is.  Streona (talk) 10:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Keynes and Lapidge (Alfred the Great), pp. 324–325, note 100, say that Æthelhelm "may have predeceased his brother", and Yorke ("Edward as Ætheling" in Higham & Hill Edward the Elder), p. 31, also suggests that Æthelhelm died between the writing of Alfred's will and whenever S 356, where Æthelwold appears but his brother does not, was witnessed. That would place Æthelhelm's death in the 880s or 890s. As for Æthelhelm being Æthelhelm the ealdorman of Wiltshire, Keynes and Lapidge, p. 321, note 66, say "probably not". Ann Williams (Æthelred the Unready), p. 31, table 3, suggests that Æthelweard was descended from yet another son of Æthelred, but Yorke is seemingly not in favour of multiplying æthelings without necessity. I've yet to come across a theory using the mysterious Osferth to explain Æthelweard's ancestry, but it can only be a matter of time. As for Æthelhelm being the cleric, Yorke, p. 28, notes, when discussing Alfred's son Æthelweard's education, "[f]or an ætheling to be entered into the church would be without parallel in Anglo-Saxon England".

Category talk:Philosophical concepts

message: I was looking for a list of methodologies and/or techniques used in philosophy.  Like e.g. [Triz] in the field of engineering.  So I thought the article on "Philosophical methodology" and the one on "Philosophical concepts" would lead me to such a list.  But alas, no.
"Philosophical concepts" is just a page with links, no explanation whatsoever on what "Philosophical concepts" are about, what is understood by the term.
Wouldn't it be interesting to have a paragraph devoted to explaining what they are, the differences between the "Philosophical methodology" and "Philosophical concepts", what they have in common and some common misconceptions e.g. ? Anybody.

Talk:Pride parade

message: This page seems to have become very heavily US centric.  For example there's no reference to Londons first Pride march in 1972, this was once on the page.  Followed by Brighton in 1973.  London had been trying to have a pride march for a few years, but the police had banned them, this predates the stonewall riots.  Brighton had Pride marches on Sussex universities campus in the 60s to support the decriminlisation of homosexuality in 1967. sailor iain (talk) 10:08, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:   Overally US centric history 

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, y'all, but the "Best countries" section seems... goofy. There's no criteria for what makes one country better than another and no sources whatsoever.

replies: text: Agreed. I saw that it was tagged as 'citation needed' - no, I think we should chuck the whole thing. If we get consensus, I'm deleting it. It really adds nothing to the article. Kazamzam (talk) 16:41, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Most of the article already details pride events in different countries and regions around the world, you can draw your own conclusions about which ones are subjectively "better" than others by reading about them instead of having them spoon-fed to you by a list that feels more like a WatchMojo ranking than a Wikipedia article.
