thread_title: "References"

message: To my knowledge there is never a time when a warning shot is legal, and yet two separate Wikipedia Articles (Breona Taylor and David McAtee) contain links to this Article and describe the idea of a warning shot as a possible mitigating factor.  IMO, the whole notion of a warning shot is patent evidence of bias in both of these Articles, but if the concept is going to be introduced into these Articles, then the Wikipedia Article on "Warning Shots" should at least mention the fact that they are considered illegal, at least some, probably most and possibly all of the time.  Else people might get the impression that firing a weapon in the general direction of law enforcement is something legal to do, and when Police inevitably return fire, some kind of "injustice" has taken place.  Bottom line, if you even show (brandish) a gun in the presence of law enforcement, there's a good chance you are going to get killed.  Aiming the weapon in their direction increases the likelihood of that happening.  Firing it in their general direction will absolutely get you killed.  This Article creates the illusion that there is some kind of justification for it, and failing to remedy this will get someone killed.  Further, I don't believe this is oversite.  Wikipedia Editors are not stupid, particularly when it comes to Articles that have a political component to it.  Meaning, I'm alleging that failing to include the illegal nature of a "warning shot" in this Article is politically motivated, and done for the purpose of attempting to lend legitimacy to the idea that Law Enforcement kills, usually black people, for little to no reason.  However true that may or may not be, that political bias has no place in this Article.  Just the facts.68.206.249.124 (talk) 01:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Wellington Barracks, Hong Kong

message: See Harcourt Garden for many referenes, including military maps, that would help with expanding this article. Onanoff (talk) 09:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I am in the process of fact and reference checking. Not too easy. Any help is welcome. It seems very much like Wellington Barracks were of the site of the current Harcourt Garden. But the Harcourt Garden article says that "The park is on land reclaimed from Victoria Harbour in 1863", which is inconsistent with a hospital being built there in 1841. What seems quite clear is that Pacific Place was not built on land previously occupied by Wellington Barracks but by Victoria Barracks, with Queensway between the two. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 15:24, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Related articles are almost all inconsistent: Queensway, Hong Kong says that the golden ball was in  Admiralty Dock.

text: Don't worry for the trouble: the article is arguably quite better now than when you started editing it. Gwulo cannot be considered as a reliable source in Wikipedia terms, but what they say there is usually quite accurate, and in this case they mention their sources (maps). So I suggest to add their page in the external links section and not as a reference. The topic is quite complicated and as you say, the lack of sources is not helping. As it is now, there are several statements that I have marked with "citation needed" because I either cannot find a source or the sources given are conflicting with others. My conclusion is that it is a nice piece of work, but I wouldn't show it to the community as an example of a nice burgeoning article. I would therefore withdraw the DYK nom, but I let you decide. Thanks for the work! Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 20:11, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Withdrawal (military)

message: I'd be interested in seeing a section on euphemisms. Here are the citable and anecdotal details I've found in a casual google:
* "Retreat, hell! We're not retreating, we're just advancing in a different direction." - Major General Oliver P. Smith of the 1st Marine Division.  (often mis-attributed to MacArthur)
* "Marines don't retreat, we simply advance to the rear!" - attributed to Lt. Gen. Lewis "Chesty" Puller (uncited anywhere that I can see.)
* '"Canadians do not retreat!" the brigadier snapped. Oh, God, I thought, he's going to order us back. But then he continued, "You are moving to a more strategic position."'
* Advance to the Rear - comedy film from 1964
* many articles from 2007 using the headline "Bush executes strategic advance in a rearward direction" (I'm not sure if this is riffing off an earlier headline somewhere, or just a much-mirrored blog post?)
* a few people in forums talking about Russians using "Advance to the Rear" to avoid disobeying orders to "advance". (fears of SMERSH, etc)
I'm not sure what in that batch could be used, or if it's missing obvious pieces/quotes, so I'll just leave it here for now. –Quiddity (talk) 21:39, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Quackwatch seems to collate information they claim refutes a number of alternative therapies. There are two issues that make me ask whether it is suitable as a reference in Wikipedia:
1. The site is clearly biased, with a goal of "Investigating questionable claims". This approach often leads to selective reporting on items that agree with the goals of the organisation, and ignores information that disagrees with them.
2. Many of the articles were written by a Dr Barrett. The articles seem to have been written based on information gleaned from the internet and other unreliable sources. It appears that Dr Barrett has no actual experience with many of the therapies he criticises. He also selectively reports on people who have had no success with the therapy, but does not report on people who have had success.
Wikipedia prides itself on being credible and having authoritative references. I do not believe that Quackwatch is an authoritative source.
