Talk:Tomball High School

message: I'm a sophomore at Tombal High School, and I thought our deceased senior AP (short for Assistant Principal) died from liver cancer, not colon cancer. Our main principal told the entire school that he died from liver cancer.--70.240.240.229 (talk) 02:23, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

message: How am i supposed to obtain said sources? There isnt a "independent" agency that reports what activities a school hosts. Please explain why it natters if some info comes from school websites. Plenty of other local high school articles contain many more instances of info coming from a school/district website. 
Im just trying to update old info and willing to learn what is necessary to update the page correctly.

replies: text: This is not the school's page on Wikipedia; instead it is an encyclopedia article about the school.  By definition, an encyclopedia is a tertiary source. What that means in simplest terms is: We do not write about the school, we write about what is written about the school.  The purpose is not to inform this school's community but to inform the world about what is important about this school. What is important is indicated by what others have written in reliable sources. I doubt the AV club has been or ever will be written up in a reliable source. School clubs have 0 import beyond the school's community, and very little import beyond the school walls.

thread_title:  Celebrities 

message: My main goal was to try to be bold and clean up some of the accretion here.  The article goes on for quite a while and it's difficult to read.  Importantly, a lot of the lists had items that were listed multiple times and were very redundant, so I tried to recategorize them and bundle them together a bit more.  Finally, a lot of the pictures seemed really haphazard or looked so weird that I wonder whether they were an attempt to discredit the page, so I tried to limit it to one per section.
I think the statistics section could really be condensed into general view instead of a "country by country" or "region by region" view, as there's a lot of unnecessary overlap with the "Aging of..." articles.
As for the third section, it has a lot of overlap with the first section, but I don't quite know how to handle it.  It might be best to try to merge the first and third sections into one somehow.  For example, the "Selfish" issue/ethical reasons/religion seems like parts of a good lede for the "Philosophical" reasons section.  Something like that maybe?

Talk:Banishment Act 1697

message: Where exactly did the text of the Act come from? It's very fishy:
1. No citation or site link is provided.
2. For a 400 year old piece of legislation, it's written in a very modern style.
3. It mentions fines in round numbers of dollars, which I don't think existed in 16xx
4. It mentions 1950something and Singapore, both well, fishy.
Anyone else think someone got the wrong Act? Thanx 68.39.174.150 04:58, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Texas Media Watch

message: Please note - I created this page in part in attempt to resolve an editing dispute on Houston Chronicle over the use of Texas Media Watch materials as a source in that article. Previously, TMW was quoted negatively critiquing the Houston Chronicle, which prompted two editors to introduce the Austin Chronicle attack on TMW and several sentences describing TMW into the paragraph there. As this material about TMW was off topic to the Houston Chronicle article, I proposed separating the two and including the Austin Chronicle attack plus a description of what TMW is on its own article page. I hope this page will be expanded and the pertinent material included here, however it appears now that one of the editors who favored including the extraneous material about TMW on the Houston Chronicle page is opposed to including it here and has thus initiated a VfD without comment here.

Talk:Louis MacNeice

message: This is unbalanced at the moment - I'm reading Stallworthy's biography, and I'll flesh out MacNeice's life as I go along over the next few weeks.  I think for clarity's sake it's better to refer to him as Louis in childhood (although he was actually known by his first name then), and MacNeice from his time at Sherborne onwards when there were fewer other MacNeices around.  Stallworthy refers to him as Louis throughout.  --Andrew Norman 05:18, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

message: As the recent IP edit summary said here, "MacNeice's birth predated Northern Ireland by nearly two decades." But for 42 years he was "from Northern Ireland"? From 1917 he was at Sherborne Preparatory School in Dorset anyway, and all notability as a published poet arose after the partition. Geographically speaking, he was very much "from Northern Ireland".

Talk:Min (god)

message: Ril, "Ham" (with an H) is only the English form; the original Hebrew form of "Ham" was the same sound as in Khem... you will often see the Hebrew transcribed as "Cham" and in sources older than 1800, Ham's name almost always appears as "Cham" - Ch being used to represent the very same thing it does in "Chem"... 
Arguing that Ham must have come from Khem and not vice versa is therefore a non-argument; or at best a POV I do not share.  Since both start with the same sound in the original languages, Khem could just as easily have come from Cham.  There is plenty of back-and-forth attested between Kh and Ch (not the English "Ch" sound, but a raspy velar) going in both directions.  Remember that in Ethiopia the name of Ham ended up as "Kam", and that could well be the original of all these other forms.
Aside from that, if you insist on writing "LORD" (as it appears in the text) as "lord", while capitalising all of these idols' names, you can rest assured that you're going to get a "totally disputed" pov tag.

message: alright then an open city can not be attacked as it is presumably just "march on". So if the attacker bomb the city in a "we're-just-checking" campaign before marching on, or march on running with flamethrowers burning the hell out of everything and screaming "we're the champions" it would BREAK the rules, but if the army just march on and guerrilla fighters from resistence movements attack them, are they breaking rules? sure yes, but then, who should take the blame, if the city is open and the invaded country has nothing to do with it anymore? the acts commited by the guerrilla are held on the state or are just marked as "impolite oh-jee-you're-beaking-the-rules"? if there is the confirmation of guerrila fighters infiltrated in the city the attackers can wash it way from the world without disrespect rules then? someone could explain that? it's kinda weird. i mean 'cause it's obvious you will not just walk in and be the nice guy if you know you will be shot dead by hidden bad dressed people. ps: guerrilla is a coward thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.25.43.243 (talk • contribs)

On the contrary, Kujula Kadphises is described as a "yavuka" / "yabghu" (commonly thought to mean 'yuvaka' or young-prince of a collateral line). While they may serve the same purpose - there's no need to explicitly claim Kushans were the first to install the system.

thread_title:  Picture 

message: I guess I have to question whether "ultimate bungalow" is a real term in general use in architectural history or commentary.  For instance, a Google search on "ultimate bungalow" finds fewer than 700 online uses, including this article, and many uses where it is used to make a zippy title or description, rather than as an identifying term.  In contrast, "craftsman bungalow" finds 77,000 online uses.  That would be a good title for an article, in which this could be a component, explaining what seems to be essentially a related slang usage. - Kevin Matthews, editor in chief, ArchitectureWeek
Hi
I'm no great wiki expert, but it would be worth mentioning here that these are very common in Melbourne Australia. my understanding is they were adapted from Indian Bungalows - but the reason for the popularity is returning WW1 soldiers were able to get assistance building homes and the cal bung was they design offered offered - with many variations. I would not be surprised if in places like Preston (a suburb of Melbourne) in 1980, of 50%+ homes were cal bungs dating from the 1920-30s. I'm a real estate professijal here in Melbourne - they are spread all through suburbs developing post ww1 into the 1930s  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.181.141.103 (talk) 09:56, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

message: It should be mentioned that Bristol Palin transferred into the Anchorage School District after attending Wasilla High School.  Official Anchorage School District documents indicate that the curriculum strongly stresses abstinence at all levels that discuss sex, although contraception is still mentioned at certain grade levels.  In the sections that discuss contraception (condoms are the only ones explicitly mentioned), it is stressed that it should be taught abstinence is superior and the best option.
I get the impression that they don't distribute condoms, but it doesn't say that explicitly, unless I missed something.  They do provide referrals to local organizations that provide advice and free condoms, such as Planned Parenthood.  With issues like homosexuality and masturbation, they take a non-judgmental approach and when it comes to moral stances on them, it is stated that the students should be directed to their parents or another trusted adult for advice.
