Talk:Dibang Valley district

message: This is highly one's opinion.
It is a beautiful place with picturesque nature and beautiful climate. However Anini is a hilly place lying in the mountains close to the frontiers of China.
I too think it needs to be split into Upper Dibang Valley and Lower Dibang Valley. However, the debate comes in when the country of India's website list Dibang Valley as a district and Lower Dibang Valley as a district with no mention of "Upper".

thread_title:  Change the name 

message: There is a huge difference between what Francis Bacon was doing and what the SI described. I suggest removing this image and claim (unless you can cite it, which I am sure you cannot) as it presents utterly wrong information on the top Google result for détournement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.49.189 (talk • contribs)  (23:55, 25 January 2011)
Agreed.  There is no evidence that I have been able to find (and more importantly- none in the article) which would connect Bacon's painting to this technique.  As it stands now, the page describes detournement as an artistic technique where their is not only a general relationship between an original and a subsequent work, but where there is a particular intent (to undermine or subvert an ideological message) with regard to the original.  It is certainly conceivable that Bacon may have had an intent along those lines, but I don't know of any reason to think that he did; moreover, to infer that that was his intent would be at odds with information about Bacon which is available.  Unless the contention is that detournement need not have the intent which is presently specified, or unless evidence is found for this intent on Bacon's part, the inclusion of 'Study' here is at best merely speculative and at worst irresponsible.  Therefore, I have removed the images.  OckRaz (talk) 13:04, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:University of California, Santa Barbara

message: Not even Berkeley, UCLA, nor any other campus makes this a hard requirement for admission to top-line degree programs in STEM via college of letters and arts or college of engineering (which would cover the undergrad STEM degrees that are most competitive and prestigious at the bachelors level).    Of course, competitiveness with application means that this is a defacto "soft requirement" that people have historically treated as a requirement, but the distinction is still valid.   Completely seprately:  Carol Greider's Nobel Price in physiology represents an example of a UC educated UNDERGRAD who went on to receive a nobel prize.  indeed, not just a UC bachelor.... but a *modern* UC bachelor, as opposed to the many many examples of famous name brand scientists who did "Zero to Phd in 6 years" over the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.   We speak now of a 1980s- era bachelors, a timeframe in which the curricula and even the organizational management of the departments had modernized.   This is still a rarity despit the dump truck loads of graduates from the UC system in the intervening years.67.165.123.62 (talk) 04:16, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Serekh

thread_title: Old comment

message: believes that the article serekh should be merged with this one. The two articles cover pretty much the same subject, and Nephiliskos said of the latter article on my talk page: "Their quality is horrible, their refences very fragmentary and big parts of their content is redundant or concentrated too much on one subject". If anybody supports or objects to this merger, please say so below.
*Comment. The royal name should certainly be covered in one article and not two. But what about the serekh pattern itself? It's an artistic motif, also known as the "palace façade", as well as a component of the Horus name. Probably the best-known example of the serekh pattern is on the enclosure walls of Djoser's pyramid complex. There are other examples, like the walls of the burial chamber of Unas and the pattern on the side of Osiris's block throne in the Papyrus of Ani. And the pattern is assumed to imitate the niched walls of Predynastic royal enclosures, which are considered one of the major signs of Mesopotamian influence on late Predynastic Egypt. The current article about the serekh doesn't cover its use as a motif, but some article should.
:I believe that we should either have: 1. A single article about the serekh that would cover the Horus name as well as the use of the pattern as an artistic motif; or 2. keep them separate, so that the Horus name article covers that subject in detail while the serekh article summarizes that one and focuses on the artistic motif. I favor the first option myself. A. Parrot (talk) 01:14, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Narcotics Anonymous

message: This article clearly explains what Narcotics Anonymous is for the first half of it. Mary Bolton, who founded Narcotics Anonymous in Ireland, does not have a working link. The article is neutral, going about the aspect of religion in this group in a neutral way, stating that God is part of it, but that participants can also choose to believe in a higher power instead of this. There are only a handful of images in this article, so it does not engage the reader as much as most articles, a few photos could be added to the history sections of this to make it more interesting, and display more context. This article has a wide array of sources (42) and further readings. It was last edited quite recently, only a few days prior to this review. Overall, except for the dead link to Mary Bolton, this article informs the reader of what NA is, and the history of the group.  Indigo Rabbit (talk) 22:34, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Western Outlands

message: My parents are born in the villages near Bosilegrad (selo Glozhie i selo Yareshnik) and since I know about myself they declare to be Bulgarians. Every body I know from the region of Bosilegrad is Bulgarian and they declare so. I am born in Skopje. My parents moved to Macedonia for education and better job, because Bosilegrad and Tsaribrod region is intentionally negglected by the Serbian government, the region has poor or no road infrastructure etc. etc. Serbian policy is to devistate the region so the people to leave their homes and lose relationship with the birthplace. That way they think bulgarian identity will be erased. But we will not forget that easily where we have come from nor we will forget who we are. Bosilegrad, Tsaribrod and other territories are and will be Bulgarian. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.162.177.195 (talk) 23:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The info box is there to give people answers to frequently sought questions and a basic fact based overview. It already has listed the height, the weight, the material, and other things but the weight is not listed. I feel like the coordinates and the bell type are less major information than the weight. The info box already has a parameter at the bottom of the infobox labeled extra so maybe that could be used for the weight although it seems like it would fit better either under the type of bell or the height parameters. I am not sure how to edit this field and was told that editing info boxes can effect multiple other articles so I am asking for help from someone who knows more about this than I do, thank you!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.93.153.139 (talk) 10:20, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

*Lead section
**Lead section needs editing for relevance
**Leave out Eberhardina reference, old fashioned
**Location could be more precise
**Date of foundation needs to be added
**Information on numbers of foreign students needs to be added too, but with references
**"Currently" – give exact date
**Overall more comprehensive lead
**Alternative name?
**More info on location of uni, on reputation and ranking. Referencing needs improving. Section on beds is too detailed for lead section.
*Overall consistent policy on German terms
*History section needs section from 1817 to 1970: Nazi period and post war history are conspicuously missing
*Organise history section (Köhler etc.) according to a rationale e.g. chronological
*Students and professors needs differentiating in famous alumni section
*Link or list 9 the “state unis” in Baden-Württemberg
*Research section needs expanding
*Corridors – should there be a separate article on corridors in Tübingen university :)
*Sports section needs clearer focus
*Governance section needs info on voting system
*More info on student accommodation
*General bias towards throughout article medicine needs rectifying
*Research section for each faculty?
*Separate sections on the faculties – if too big refer to separate article about individual faculties
*Better pic at beginning and throughout: pics are too specific – pics should be more general
*Library section needs info on lending system 
*Link to UB homepage
*Tübinger Stift may need clarifying, esp. re. alumni, as there are 2 Tübinger Stifte (?)
*Referencing needs work
*History section: motto of the university could be added, after 1970 too; editing for accuracy with references too
*Nightlife section could be expanded
*Fraternities section could be added

message: You have to be joking? The Liberal Party of Stephane Dion, Paul Martin and Jean Chretien favours and has favoured a mixed economy? Aside from some slight regulation I cannot remember any major government involvement in the economy during the 1993-2006 era, the Liberals certainly didn't undo any of the Mulroney era privatisations after 1993! They do obviously support a regulated free market economy, especially in areas regarding Co2 emmissions and now the protection of Canadian industries from foreign ownership. However they do not support a true mixed economy, say like the one Sweden or Norway possess or even Britain before 1979 possessed. A mixed economy is usually the goal of social democrats and not social liberals.
