Talk:Big ball of mud

message: Here is quote — supposedly from Joel Moses — that is bouncing around the internet:
:APL is like a diamond. It has a beautiful crystal structure; all of its parts are related in a uniform and elegant way. But if you try to extend this structure in any way - even by adding another diamond - you get an ugly kludge. LISP, on the other hand, is like a ball of mud. You can add any amount of mud to it and it still looks like a ball of mud. -— Joel Moses?, 1978?

message: As a graduate (class of '81), I see this page as rather terse in its content.  Yes, it is not critical.  But then how much can you say about a school with under a thousand students.  Basically, Maranatha is a preachers and teachers school.

The other three are items related to various events that appear to have been crises in the Maranatha community. These events may need to be documented in the article, but the links by themselves don't do much for the encyclopedia. (I don't know the stories behind any of these, so I'm not in a good position to figure out what needs to be added to the article.) These are:

Talk:Military tribunals in the United States

message: military commissions are not courts martial.  They are not courts, at all, although they may superficially resemble them.  But they lack established rules of evidence, precedents.  One of the weaknesses of the Guantanamo military commissions that were recently struck down was that  most of the charges against the ten weren't actually crimes.  --  Geo Swan 12:42, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  military commissions are not courts martial 

message: I haven't paid attention to what has been happening in this article until today.
There is an article Guantanamo military commissions.  In recent months 70-80 percent of this article is about the Guantanamo military commissions.  When, IMO, this article should be about military tribunals in general, not just US proceedings, and not just recent proceedings.

I think this would be nice to include in legacy, or from his stint with Rangers.
Apologies for not doing the hard work myself and updating the article directly, but I think I would only create more work since I do not know all the protocol surrounding using youtube as a source. For reference, it's from Sky Sports's own youtube channel rebroadcasting its own programme so I cannot imagine there are any problems here?

Talk:1994 amendment of the Constitution of Argentina

message: The following, moved from Constitution of Argentina, should be integrated into this article:
:1.109 In order to provide an effective protection to individual rights, the 1994 amendment has introduced actions called: "amparo" (injunctions), "hábeas corpus" and "hábeas data". "Amparo" gives the possibility to any person to request that a judge declare the unconstitutionality of an act or ruling on which an action or omission of public authorities or private individuals is based that, in an actual or imminent manner, causes damage or restrains a right recognized by the Constitution, the law or an international treaty. This action requires that no other effective judicial mean be available. "Hábeas corpus" is an action that can be filled to protect the right of physical freedom when it is threatened, limited, modified or injured, or in case of illegitimate aggravation of conditions of detention. "Hábeas data" is an action that can be filled by any individual to take notice of any information referred to him, registered in public or private registers, and to request its suppression, rectification, confidentiality or updating.
:1.110 Another innovation introduced by the 1994 amendment is that citizens can introduce bills before the House of Deputies that must be considered by Congress within the next twelve months. We must also mention the recognition of the right of every inhabitant to a healthy environment in article 41 that establishes that "all inhabitants are entitled to the right to a healthy and balanced environment fit for human development in order that productive activities shall meet present needs without endangering those of future generations; and shall have the duty to preserve it. As a first priority, environmental damage shall bring about the obligation to repair it according to law. The authorities shall provide for the protection of this right, the rational use of natural resources, the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and of the biological diversity, and shall also provide for environmental information and education. The Federal Government shall regulate the minimum protection standard, and the provinces those necessary to reinforce them, without altering their local jurisdictions. The entry into the national territory of present or potential dangerous wastes, and of radioactive ones, is forbidden". From another point of view there are precise provisions referring to: protection of consumers rights, defense of competitions, control of natural or legal monopolies and of public services quality and efficiency.

Talk:Gürtel, Vienna

message: This article from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has a lengthy information on the Gürtel from which I draw this  fascinating fact. The full quotation is
:Wobei auf dem Gürtel früher Linksverkehr herrschte, wie in England. Siegfried Tschmul, ein Wiener Jude, erinnert sich gut daran. Als er 1938, nachdem die deutschen Truppen in Wien einmarschiert waren, eines Morgens aus seinem Fenster hinunter auf den Währinger Gürtel sah, fuhren alle Autos plötzlich rechts, wie in Deutschland. Über Nacht war der gesamte Verkehr umgestellt worden, und niemand hatte ein Problem mit der neuen Ordnung.
I do not have the time now to translate the rest of this newspaper artikel but it can be a good scource of more information for this page.  67.101.104.27 (talk) 05:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It says (roughly): "Whereas the Gürtel used to have traffic on the left, like in England. [sic] Siegfried Tschmul, a Viennese Jew, remembered it well. In 1938, as German troops marched into Vienna, he looked out his window one morning down at the Währinger Gürtel and the cars were suddenly driving on the right, as in Germany. Overnight, all the traffic had been converted, and no one had a problem with it." --Trweiss (talk) 04:18, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy

message: The article is heavily dependent on quotes from Nikolai Tolstoy's work, but Nikolai Tolstoy is a well-known enemy of Soviet communism who might be biased against one of his (distant) relatives who was much lionized by those whom he despised.

message: The article doesn't stick to a spelling of Mr. Tolstoy's name, it sometime randomly usues initials instead of the name, and it lacks proper grammar. It could use a total rewrite in my opinion, and if it isn't done by sometime later tonight or tomorrow I'll probably try to do it myself.

message: Hello, I've added a cleanup tag to this page.
It is clearly a valiant attempt at an interesting article by a non-native English speaker, but it needs to be re-written in clearer, more concise prose.  I have already done the section on the fall of Eilean Donan castle, and will gradually do the others if no one else does.
I think also that it could be shortened considerably, since this battle was really only a minor skirmish.  The links to European politics are interesting though.  Also one of the hills in Glen Shiel is still called "The Peak of the Spaniards".  Thruston 12:29, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
