Talk:Right to petition in the United States

message: The first one is broken.--Hodeken (talk) 08:45, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Broken links/referances 

message: The founders made a huge distinction between petitioning and lobbying.  Petitioning was a right.  Lobbying was corruption.
Petitioning is communicating directly with the people you vote for.
Lobbying is when a paid professional, such as a fancy lawyer or a retired judge or public official, lobbies on someone's behalf.  To the founders, this was a completely taboo practice.  Using some wealthy or famous person's reputation to sway public officials was seen as completely corrupt.  See this article:  https://priceonomics.com/when-lobbying-was-illegal/
After several decades with no lobbying, America had largely forgotten about its evils.  After 80 years, the Civil War was such a traumatic event that it put the nail in the coffin of many assumed bits of history.  If you look at the Wikipedia article on the history of US lobbying, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_lobbying_in_the_United_States , it doesn't start till after the Civil War.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Randyastr (talk • contribs) 04:44, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

When politicians constrain the right of redress to ANY citizen, knowingly and willingly, by blocking access to the established right of redress of our government they violate the Constitution as well the spirit of America.

Talk:Eartha M. M. White

message: This article is a brand new one.  It had a rough start, so it needs all the help it can get.  To better improve the image of Eartha White, who I believe was a spectacular woman and deserves nothing less, I did a rough sweep in order to rectify some major problems.  One of these problems was to remove most (I say "most" because I'm sure I missed a few) instances of plagarism.  There is a line directly below the edit summary space that says, and I quote: Do not copy text from other websites without permission. It will be deleted.  And it was.  Some information may have erroneously been erased, but if it was, it can easily be put back; without copy and pasting.  There is, of course, room for improvement with every article.  It is nothing to take personally.  It is simply a matter of accepting the fact that everything you add to Wikipedia will most probably be edited mercilessly.  I reverted back because it is, quite simply, a better article.  Like I said, it still needs work, but it should not go back to its rough beginnings.  Maria 23:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Devil in a Blue Dress (film)

message: Ever notice at near the end of the film when Denzel and Kinney exchange appreciations for return of the character's (Todd Carter's) trollop? It's seems somewhat eerie; maybe it was the cimematographer's (Tak Fugimato)or make-up ppls. creative iniative but in that very scene I swear that both  Denzel Washington and Terry resembled each other so much as to be closely related! The eyes, the devot-shape of the mouth; I keep sayng to myself "amazing"(!) imagining that this was deliberate by the director Carl Franklin to perhaps demostrate some kind of "kinship" or symbiosis of honesty between the two, as they were the only sicere characters in the movie.  Also, I think Mr. Terry Kinney missed his calling as a noir charcter actor in that he made a good affected impression in his period suit and hat in the same scene, The scene where Washington and Cheadle stand silloetted above the weezing, dying Seizemore was also impressive as it stayed true to the noir atmosphere (I think tI remember there was one paperback issue where this scene was used as the cover.  Though it was reported that the film didn't do well in the US, there should be another film made about Easy Rollins; a different iteration that does not neccessarily follow the book series cannon, and with some other actor than Denzel. Mind you, luv the man and his work. 67.87.177.215 (talk) 15:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Car vs motor mechanic 

message: They are two different careers in the same field. It isn't any different than trying to call a paramedic or x-ray technician a doctor because they are in the medical field. Or a nurse and doctor. Technicians do diagnostic work of a technical nature. Of all the places to get this information (besides the source which wiki doesn't like), look here.  "It used to be simple mechanical repair.". It still is. There are positions of parts installers, mechanics, tire specialists, and technicians in automotive, along with other specialites. "Today it is a high technology job.". But only for technicians. Mechanics still replace pads and rotors, but probably don't diagnose the ABS system, whereas the technician does.

thread_title:  Should this page be protected? 

message: Many Wikipedia articles allude to people who occasionally do minor automobile maintenance and repair or motorcycle maintenance and repair,
but are not professional auto mechanics or motorcycle mechanic.
Should (properly cited) information about such people go into a section of this "auto mechanic" article, the "handyman" article, or a separate Wikipedia article about such people?
Is there a WP:COMMONNAME for these people and their work?
In Wikipedia alone, such people have been referred to as:
"do-it-yourself mechanic" -- Turbo-Hydramatic 125;
"Shade Tree Mechanic" -- Henry Oden;
"Auto enthusiasts" and "hobbyists to repair vehicles" -- on-board diagnostics;
"motorcycle enthusiasts ... perform simple maintenance jobs" -- motorcycle lift;
"many car enthusiasts modify their cars" -- effects of the car on societies;
"automotive enthusiasts and "do-it-yourself customers" -- some :Category:Auto_parts_suppliers;
and alluded to (without a specific name) in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; custom car; and hot rod articles.

Talk:Eigenvector centrality

message: There seem to be a couple of lapses in the reasoning:
* The Perron-Frobenius theorem guarantees that the largest eigenvalue is simple when the coefficients are > 0, but not if they are ≥ 0. It is obvious that this theorem does not hold with ≥ 0; consider the 2×2 identity matrix, it has (1 2) and (2 1) as positive eigenvectors for eigenvalue 1. Thus, there are many eigenvectors that are solutions, including multiple eigenvectors with 1-norm 1.
* However, the additional requirement that all the entries in the eigenvector be positive implies (by the Perron–Frobenius theorem) that only the greatest eigenvalue results in the desired centrality measure. I may have missed a point here, but while the Perron-Frobenius theorem guarantees that the largest eigenvalue has a positive eigenvector, it does not seem to guarantee that only the largest eigenvalue has a positive eigenvector.

:"L. Moore Cosgrave (Signatory for Dominion of Canada, accepting the Japanese Surrender) knew Mamoru Shigemitsu from their diplomatic days in Shanghai, their eyes crossed when Mamoru Shigemitsu boarded the Missouri, they mutually smiled with recognition, and then Mamoru Shigemitsu realized where he was and became stern & serious.

text: Okay, let me explain.  In Season 1, Alex's morphed form was transparent.  However, in Season 2 onward, it was more metallic in appearence.  This is due to different SFX techniques used.  Alex was indeed frozen in one of the books, Frozen Stiff (which I have), while the evaporation... well, it makes sense, being liquid and all.

Since whoever wrote this apparently felt it would be too embarrrasing and/or disrespectful to somebody who died over 300 years ago to name the disease which damaged his eyesight, mobility and brain so catastrophically that he was dead before he was 30, I assume it must have been syphilis.
