Talk:Mount Merrion

message: I don't think that this can be supported. The Dublin mountains are still quite a distance away. The nearest point wuld be Stepaside. The Wicklow way starts at Marley Park, but even at that point, I don't think that you could claim to be in the foothills of the Dublin mountains. You might just as well claim that the first sandbar on Sandymount strand commences the march to Lugnaquilla. I think that this dubious claim should be deleted.

Talk:Almack's

message: Is it worth mentioning in the fiction section, which is still quite short, that Thomas Carlyle, In Sartor Resartus, employing the voice of his German protagonist Diogenes Teufelsdröckh (possessing limited knowledge of early Victorian England), in a chapter on Dandies says: 
"They have their Temples, whereof the chief, as the Jewish Temple did, stands in their metropolis; and is named Almack's, a word of uncertain etymology. They worship principally by night; and have their Highpriests and Highpriestesses, who, however, do not continue for life. The rites, by some supposed to be of the Menadic sort, or perhaps with and Eleusinian or Cabiric character, are held strictly secret. Nor are Sacred Books wanting to the Sect; these they call Fashionable Novels..."

thread_title:  Almack's in Carlyle's Sartor Resartus 

message: The Liberal Party officially came into being at the meeting at "Willis's Room" (not sure whether one or both of those names is plural) in 1859, where Lord John Russell (mainstream Whig) and Gladstone (Peelite) agreed to serve under Palmerston. At least I think Gladstone was there as well but I couldn't swear to it. Is this the same place? Article says Almacks was renamed in 1871, so if it's somewhere different a disambiguation should be added.Paulturtle (talk) 11:00, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Jay S. Thomas

message: I think that I have found the source of this dispute and the reason that this article was deleted. Though it tends to be colored in terms of "wiki guidelines" which is an ironic term in and of itself, I truly believe that this is a case of both religious persecution and racial discrimination.  With regard to religion, it is obvious that the existence of reformed evangelical Christian content would be shunned by the comprehensively secular bias of such a place such a wikipedia, thus making you all just as controversial and fifth column as the creator/editors of conserapedia.  Thusly, considering the blatant refusal to allow cited and relevant information concerning legitimate Christian leaders and legitimate Christian content, these actions could potentially be grounds for a religious descrimination suit against the providers and editors of this site.
Also, when one considers that Jay Smith Thomas is one of the few persons in this country with triple citizenship (being born in India to an American citizen who happened to be a full blooded member of the Chippewa Indian tribe) Jay is an America/Indian/Native American with full rights to all three and a mixed heritage that has made the progression and of his life and subsequent success much more difficult than the average man. This dispute is simply another example of the racial discrimination and oppression that he has endured throughout the entirety of his life.  Once he is made aware of your blatant and repeated violations of his secured and endowed rights to life and equity as an American citizen, much less a human being, you, and wikipedia in general would do well to think twice before deleting such a post in the future.

Talk:Stop-time

message: *Stop-time is, according to Samuel A. Floyd Jr., "a musical device in which the forward flow of the music stops, or seems to stop, suspended in a rhythmic unison, while in some cases an improvising instrumentalist or singer continues solo with the forward flow of the meter and tempo. Such stop-time moments are sometimes repeated, creating an illusion of starting and stopping, as, for example, in Scott Joplin’s 'The Ragtime Dance' and Jelly Roll Morton’s 'King Porter Stomp'."

thread_title:  Who is/was Ivor Wynne? 

message: The article currently says there "were" plans to renovate the stadium starting in 2012, to reopen in 2014 for the Pan Am Games.
News reports on 2012-10-27 said the last CFL game at the statdium has been played and it is to be demolished starting on 2012-12-01, to be replaced by a new stadium on the same site in 2014 for the Pan Am Games.
This could mean that there was a plan to renovate the existing stadium and instead it is being demolished and replaced, or it could just be some sort of confusion, such as
two ways of describing the same events.  Someone who follows this subject should update the article to clarify whether the plans have changed and whether there is any way that the
stadium to be opened in 2014 can be viewed as being the same stadium, or if the existing wording is wrong, just fix it, please.  (Has it been stated whether it will have the same name?)

replies: text: That's just it.... there is no reference that this is a principality. The village mayor as I understand it has "declared" independence. Unless there is a legal framework wherein he has the authority to do so this is nothing more than a publicity stunt or political posturing by the mayor and/or this village. An opening sentence as in this article ("Filettino is a village and an unrecognised principality") and the presence of the "Infobox unrecognized state" give this much more weight than it should have and does a great disservice to our readers who might think that this is akin to Kosovo or Somaliland or some such thing.--Kalsermar (talk) 14:57, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree but if you look at Kosovo or Somaliland that entities also did`t had the legal framework to declare independence either. There is only a handful of countries that had this legal option.

Talk:David Bercot

message: Wow, this isn't written from a Roman Catholic perspective or anything.  I'm no anti-Catholic Fundamentalist, but the end of this article isn't even trying to be objective.
----
Strenghts and weaknesses section was probably written by a catholic.
**************
I deleted the whole strengths and weaknesses section as contrary to Wikipedia's guidelines for a good article. They request objectivity, and there's nothing objective about giving your opinions about the strengths and weaknesses of his arguments.
Also, if someone could please help with proper formatting. I rewrote a lot of the early biography based on many conversations with David while I was helping him lead the Tyler Early Christian Fellowship. I think I wrote it all very unbiased, and even rather favorably, because I could have added that he told me part of the reason he left the Jehovah's Witnesses is because there were no more ladders to climb. He couldn't go any higher in their organization. He said there were three ways to go higher in the JW's. You can become a local elder, but the highest rank you can attain is head elder. There's nowhere up from there, and his congregation simply passed the head elder title from elder to elder every year. A second way is to become a pioneer, then special pioneer, and eventually climb all the way to the Watchtower in Brooklyn, but David wasn't successful enough (not enough conversions) as a pioneer to be allowed to become a special pioneer. The final way is to become a missionary, which can also lead all the way to the Watchtower (through working in their printing branch?), but David couldn't handle the JW missionary lifestyle. He was in a dormitory with many others, and it was too stressful to him. I left all that out, because it seemed unfavorable and suggests he left the JW's for more than doctrine. On the other hand, he did leave the JW's over more than doctrine. However, I didn't know how to put that in the article in a way I was comfortable with, so I didn't.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShammahRCV (talk • contribs) 12:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:User lt-1

message: I've replaced pradedančio lygio with pradedančiojo lygio, for I wasn't sure, what a word pradedančio means here. If it meant 'beginner's (level)' it's all right, but if it meant 'starting (level)', it would be better to change it. This is because Lithuanian active participles are, as a rule, used with a noun, that can be understood as the true subject of a sentence in a case the participle is converted to a verb. That's why we have a passive participle in taupomoji kasa or siuvamoji mašina.  So, the level itself didn't starts learing, so the word can't be the true subject and consequently we must use passive voice instead.  In conclusion, 
* pradedančio 'beginner's' it's better to use pradedančiojo
* pradedančio as 'starting' must be changed to pradedamojo or pradinio.

However, if you look at the performance of the Dogs at a time other than year-end that were NOT on the list of the previous or following year-end, you will find that those particular stocks performed no better and no worse than any other Dow stock.
Since the original list, at year-end, was created by curve fitting, it is necessary to avoid using stocks that were included at year-end since they outperformed at some point during the year.
