Talk:United States Secretary of Homeland Security

message: What purpose does this serve?  This is a federal position, a cabinet position.  This information is readily available in the biographies of each of these politicians but I fail to see how it is relevant to this cabinent position.  Any issue with removing it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rtphokie (talk • contribs) 18:31, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Of course take information of each and every immigrant that would be living in the housing complex that's built by them, foods produced by them, along with the help of Homeland Security for what ever support to stabilize housing, build job skills, agriculture and be policed so we can know where they are until something better gets added on to a "start" of a plan for our New Neighbours 71.10.201.233 (talk) 18:35, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Kadir İnanır

message: == Date of birth ==
As per WP:DOB (a section of the WP:BLP policy) I have removed the uncited exact date of birth from the article. It should not be restored unless it is not only cited, but cited to a source or soures which make it clear that the date has been widely published, or else published with the subject's approval. This might be clear if the sources is itself notable and widely published, or if there are multiple reliable sources, or if the sources says or plainly implies that the date was published with the subject's consent, or in other ways. The day and month of birth of a living person are of little encyclopedic value, while making them public can contribute to identity theft and other problems. The year suffices to place the subject in chronological context. See WT:BLP#Dates of birth and info boxes for discussion. DES (talk) 15:15, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello - a relatively new editor made some changes to Celal Bayar today.  Among those changes, they removed all the categories on the article.  I am assuming that was an honest mistake so I added those categories back and left a note for the user.  In the same edits, they also changed the information about where Celal Bayer is from.  I am requesting that someone more familiar with the topic please check and see if these changes were also in error, or if they are actually correct. Johntex\talk 19:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Penampang

message: I've removed :Category:Towns in Malaysia because there's already a more refined category named :Category:Towns in Sabah. The latter category itself is placed under the former and listing both of them is redundant. If we are to list both category, then we should put :Category:Towns, etc too; making it absurd. __earth (Talk) 03:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Categories 

message: im not sure how the article should be written. as Penampang district, or town? the main town in Penampang is Donggongon and Putatan. Many "towns" in Sabah actually is located in the district of the same name, eg: Tuaran, Kota Belud, Beluran, Tawau, etc. and even in Peninsular, eg: Tumpat, Kota Tinggi, Raub, etc. So far i see only Johor Bahru having separate articles for the district and the city.
for now, i dont think there should be separate articles, what do others think? if u see from most these articles it is written: "XX is a town and a district in yy,...". but problem may arise if for eg: see sandakan district area: 2,266sqkm. population data from census will most certainly refer to the whole district, not just sandakan town (area of which will probably only amount to not more than 300sqkm. kawaputra 09:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Guggenheim Fellowship

message: It's stylistically jarring to continuously see the U.S. and Canada listed in alphabetical order.  There's no consensus for this, except perhaps for some discussion buried somewhere in the bowels of this site between Canadian high school students that made the determination that countries should be listed in alphabetical order.  From an American perspective it seems rather ostentatious to read about an American prize that's awarded primarily to Americans described as being "open to citizens and permanent residents of Canada or the United States."  (I also changed "or" to "and" for obvious reasons).  
I changed it to the order as it is used on the Guggenheim Foundation site, which is also the order in which the overwhelming majority of people who live outside of Canada would think about and relate to the two English-speaking countries of North America.
If you decide to take it upon yourself to change it, make sure you alphabetize "Latin America" and "Caribbean", but please don't bring back the "or"'s. --AntigrandiosËTalk  21:17, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I do think that the ice hotels should be ordered chronologically, which would be something like:

thread_title: Chronological ordering of the hotels

message: Doing an Internet search yields more ice hotels than are mentioned in the article. With proliferation, I can see where your article will have to evolve into the ice hotel as a general concept with a discussion of building methods, architecture design, how they function, etc. Specific noteworthy hotels may spin have to off into their own article, like the one for Quebec's Hôtel de Glace.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Lou franklin

message: Malthusian mentioned that Lou franklin was trying to remove the McCarty quote based on vulgarity, but that's only part of the story.  He stated that the reason was to protect 12 year olds that may be visiting Wikipedia.  When informed that Wikipedia wasn't censored for the sake of minors, he started to try to appeal to the editors' personal beliefs and consciences.  --Rory096 03:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal

message: This woman is described as having once been married to Eric Foner.  However, on Maggie Gyllenhaal's entry, Eric Foner is listed as her uncle.  I don't think both can be correct.
: most sources say brother. the only vaguely official thing in support of the ex-husband argument i can find is this ( ). She mentions having lost a brother to cancer in her blog (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naomi-foner/terminator-in-deed_b_12196.html) but Eric Foner's still alive right? This source (http://www.columbiaspectator.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/11/21/3fbdf5683a759?template=pda) from the Columbia spectator says she graduated in 1966 and that ""Foner is another member of one of Columbia's most famous families, which includes her brother Eric, a professor of history". Anyone got anything better? I'm inclinded to belive Columbia.

Talk:List of Edison patents

message: The lede as written — "Thomas Edison was an inventor who accumulated 512 patents worldwide for his inventions" — suggests to me that it is inclusive of his US patents. As a reader, I'm confused about a number of "patents worldwide" that doesn't include his 1,093 US patents? Should it be phrased differently, like "world patents." (I defer to someone more familiar with the terminology but found this misleading. 512 is the number that comes up in a big Google infobox when I ask how many patents Edison had.) StaceyEOB (talk) 17:27, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Total number of patents 

message: None of the external links on this page work, they all list to a page on http://patft.uspto.gov stating that no patent can be found by that name. Not sure what can be done about this, it looks like a pretty big job to update all the links. R-T-C 22:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is caused by the USPTO site now requiring 7 digits in the patent number (adding leading zeros to pad it if less than seven).  Since patent 1,000,000 occurred in 1911, relatively few searches will have the problem, except for us history buffs.  --Blainster 05:56, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  All links broken 

message: I rm'ed these "employee tidbits?" here to talk because it is either trivia or implies these people are some kind of co-inventor.

Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 22:14, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The material was removed because it was unverified and made inferences that one engineer or another had something to do with the patents listed. Needs to be specifically verified to be re-added. We also seem to have a little WP:UNDUE going on (there were allot of engineers working for Edison so its unclear why we are citing only a few) and wording such as "esteemed electrical engineer" is un-encyclopedic.

Talk:Conscience Whigs

message: "Conscience Whig" is not a generic term for anti-slavery Whigs, although it is occasionally used as such.  It refers to a specific faction of Massachusetts Whigs, led by Sumner, C.F. Adams, Henry Wilson, and others, that broke from the main Whig party over slavery and supported the Free Soil Party in 1848. They are to be distinguished  from the  "Cotton Whigs" like Abbott Lawrence, Edward Everett, and Robert C. Winthrop, who were seen as advocates of the textile industry and who thus were generally interested in close relations with the south and in de-emphasizing differences of opinion over slavery.  I've pretty much entirely removed the old article and replaced it with a relatively short one that explains this. john k 05:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
