thread_title:  How to Capitalize Wines 

message: I edited a bit on the Clos_(vineyard) page (added a few, officially recognised, to the Champagne section).
The edits raised a question, on Good Form on W'pedia: 
The above page, and a number of others, refer to the Comité Interprofessionel du Vin de Champagne, CIVC with its own page. But at its own page (the only External Link on the CIVC wiki page), all their publicity materials, and anywhere that I met their official representatives (and talked to / emailed with them in person), they refer to themselves as 'Comité Champagne'. There is no CIVC web site anymore.
Now, would we do better to use the short name e.g., in wiki texts, or do we stick with naming them something they don't seem to want to talk about anymore at all themselves ..? 
And/or, how would we bulk update all references to the CIVC on all sorts of wiki pages (possibly with reference to the "CIVC" as previous designator), without collaterally destroying the proper links to the TV channel or the private investment firm of the same name?
A friendly editor pointed me to this talk page for definitive answers ... Jvdvlugt (talk) 10:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, weird fixation on supermarkets! But more significantly, since it names areas, it might be better if it named them in list form, rather than in prose; it's presently unclear where the exact bounds are. I've just added Merchiston to EH10, where the text had previously said "runs through Morningside" – that doesn't make it clear whether all of Morningside is included or not. Of course, definitions of these areas is slightly open to interpretation anyway, with accepted common usage not always agreeing with community council boundaries. – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 13:06, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The Romans under Lucius Mummius defeated the Achaeans, razed Corinth and dissolved the league.

Lucius Mummius received the cognomen Achaicus ("conqueror of Achaea") for his role.
Hopeless for whom? Evidently not for the Romans. This is unclear; presumably 'hopeless' from the Achaean POV, but the sentence is placed between two others that deal with the successful Romans. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

If nothing happens I might have later this September a chance to complete this article, when I will do some research at a bigger library. Sorry for the mess of the provisional hint at materials. Head is an important figure for all who work on the 17th century European novel. His English Rogue became the first English satirical romance to be translated into a continental language. Germans read it as Der Simplicianische Jan Perus after they had just read their own Abentheuerlicher Simplicissimus by Grimmelshausen (wich again modern scholars will read as one of the most important novels ever written.

Talk:Crack epidemic in the United States

message: The first paragraph in Effect on African American communities implies it was more or less a coincidence that crack cocaine especially hit African Americans, because these were constrained in inner-city neighbourhoods, and it was these inner-city neighbourhoods were crack cocaine was most popular. Now I would say this is nonsense, because first, inner city is just a euphemism for neighbourhoods with low socio-economic status. In the US these neighbourhoods are in the city centers, but e.g. in France it is just the other way round. It is just basic economy: the drugs are delivered to where their potential consumers are. And it is definitely not settled that the, on average, low socio-economic status of African Americans is just due to their geographical concentrations. It is definitely not argued like that in the reference that is given in this paragraph, rather that the geographic concentration of low-income families, also because "Successful African Americans moved their families to newly-integrated communities" leaving the lower-income ones behind, lead to the geographic concentration of crack cocaine use. 
So I would like to turn this paragraph into one that just makes the connection of crack use among African Americans with inner-city neighbourhoods without any causality, because that is what the reference says. Seattle Jörg (talk) 11:28, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
