Talk:Tax-free shopping

message: This article is completely biased towards an American point of view. Tax-free shopping occurs other places in the world as well. --abach 04:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, how about you add something then...  Like we're suppose to know how tax-free shopping occurs all over the world.  It is not the fault of U.S. bias but lack of participation from others that you see in this article.  Morphh  (talk) 11:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To meet both points of view, I globalized the first sentence, then put the rest of the article under the heading "Tax-free shopping in the United States".  Anyone who wants to add information on tax-free shopping in other countries can add a new section.  I left the "rewrite" tag alone as there are other issues with this article (see below).  --RBBrittain 19:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  USification 

message: I'm not sure which article should survive (so I'm not tagging them), but I believe this article and Tax holiday should be merged.  For the most part, they cover the same type of event; though there are a few exceptions like New Hampshire (which doesn't have a sales tax at all), in most states "tax-free shopping" occurs only during tax holidays.  --RBBrittain 18:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition, the lengthy content in this article on penalties for failing to pay use tax to your home state (largely based on Massachusetts residents buying in New Hampshire) really belongs in the Use tax article; much of that article is also based on Massachusetts experience.  (I just got finished adding my own knowledge of Arkansas use tax law to it as a contrast to demonstrate the complexity of use taxes around the U.S.)  --RBBrittain 18:49, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If tax-holiday is a special case of tax-free shopping, then it could be a subtopic in this article.  It would make little sense to do it the other way around, as tax-holiday occurs rarely, and tax-free shopping is 24/7 in New Hampshire. Lupinelawyer 20:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Tax-free shopping" vs. "tax holiday" 

message: The section should be divided into two subsections for US residents and foreigner that visit the USA for holiday vacation from outside the USA. The sections gives no information and no help for the latter one, because everything in this section counts only for US residents and are focused on issues between federal states. The section gives no Information for residents from other nations, that visit the USA. The article needs definitely a reworking. --91.89.138.41 (talk) 23:56, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Machine rule

message: The last bit of this article sounds more like a sci-fi fanboy gushing than any sort of encyclopedia entry.
"However this seems unreal, but scientists predict that machines will take over someday, unless we merge with the machine. Scientists predict in 50 years time from 2008, computers will have the processing power of approx. 2 billion (that's 2,000,000,000) human beings! We can merge with machines by adding new chips to our brains for better memory, adding computer monitor contact lenses, the possibilities are endless!"
This needs heavy rewriting and sourcing, if not outright removal.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.69.202.2 (talk) 13:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I vote for keeping this article.  It's a short article about a lake, which is notable for its geographic significance alone.

Talk:Gazu Hyakki Yagyō

Talk:Jinmenju

message: I understand that those of us with no first-hand exposure to Japan outside anime and mangas will think that listing monsters that vaguely resemble Jinmenju is somehow important. It isn't. First, nothing in Pop Cult is referenced, which means it shouldn't be there to begin with. Secondly, it embarrassing to the rest of us since it gives undue weight to things that are the definition of trivia. Once you break open an actual book (hint, hint) and do some research that would stand up to academic inquiry (and if you're not old enough to know what academic research requires ... how cute!), in other words take Japanese mythology seriously, then whatever you come up with should and will go into this article.

Political scientists suggest the New Jersey plan was proposed to favor the Southern states, that were sparsely populated at the time. If the votes were based on population, slavery may have been overturned in the South.

Kyle Pena 01:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An example calculation is tough because the Nielsen number is so hard to compute, but I'll put one in at some point. As for expecting it to be nonzero, it will automatically be nonzero for any mapping on spaces with the fixed point property, or for any mapping (on other spaces) with nonzero Lefschetz number. Examples of these are easy. Staecker 12:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Having recently started a List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters, I am trying to determine which monster articles should be redirected into the lists.  I believe this article may be a suitable candidate to be merged and redirected into List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters, as that is when it first debuted in the Dungeons & Dragons game.  Please discuss reasons for or against such a merge.  If no discussion has taken place 5 days from now, I will redirect this article to that list; otherwise I will follow whatever discussion takes place here.

message: So these plants grow sans sunlight by using stored energy from the roots, right?
Yes,  that is one way of preparing the plant for consumption. They can also be grown in the field by a process of "earthing up" the the growing plants, i.e. banking the soil against them to ensure that the foliage remains in darkness.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.229.98.62 (talk) 09:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I have done my best to tidy up this page based on the (scientific) species rather than the common names. As such i have moved all information about the belgian endive to the chicory page as most reliable sources seem to list it as the species intybus not the endivia species. Otherwise we're going to end up with duplicate information on both pages. A lot of less reliable sites get this wrong.

Talk:Ningyo

message: The scope of the ningyo article should obviously be limited to "Japanese merfolk" only.
However, the word  is not just a special world for the Japanese ningyo, it is a generic word for merfolk/mermaid world-wide, and the current :ja:人魚 article reflects this.
Therefore interlang linking ja:ningyo<->en:ningyo is a mismatch, and ja:ningyo<->en:mermaid will be more correct. --Kiyoweap (talk) 09:43, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

message: I do not think the Toriyama Sekien drawing used here is applicable, because the captions indicate a Chinese merfolk. (:File:SekienNingyo.gif added here by user:Kotengu, later replaced with :File:SekienNingyo.jpg ぎゅうひ).
The caption is translated here. "Dwells to the West of the World Tree ( Jianmu).. from the realms of the Di ()". This mermaid-like "Ti people" "Di people" "Diren" is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, though I have not found the English translated text for the moment, only a mention in this blog. --Kiyoweap (talk) 10:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Knockloughrim

message: Knockloughrim, Knockloghrim, Knockcloughrim and Knockloghrim are the four main spellings of Knockloughrim that i've seen floated about by people. 
However as it resides in Magherafelt District Council which on its website http://www.magherafelt.gov.uk/business/business-directory/_filter-town--knockloughrim.php spells it as Knockloughrim, i and everyone else should take this to be the official spelling.
However what makes this more confusing is that another government site: Northern Ireland Neighbourhood Information Service (NINIS), has it spelt as Knockcloghrim http://www.ninis.nisra.gov.uk/mapxtreme/mapcatalogue.asp.
