message: A translation/explanation of "popovka" the first time it appears would be appreciated by people who don't speak Russian. (i.e *why* did Tsar Alexander nickname it "popovka" - is it a slang term for "great wallowing beast"? Is it a reference to a similarly shaped bread roll? Is it just Popov's name with a '-ka' attached? Then what does the '-ka' mean? Is it a marker for a diminutive? a superlative? an expletive? Is there any significance for the Tsar to be giving it a nickname?) With the statement as it is currently, I feel I'm missing something that would be obvious to someone with more knowledge of Russian and 19th century Russian history. -- 160.129.138.186 (talk) 16:01, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

I added the bit about his nickname, one-term Bob, and his calling the legislature back into special session for higher education funding.

replies: text: Because most of these celebrity wikipedia biographies are guarded fiercely by fans who wish to hide facts that could diminish the celebrities even though truth is what gives fuller humanity to people.

Talk:John Train (investment advisor)

message: Please don't insert Lyndon LaRouche original research into this article. The meetings are confirmed as having taken place, in some form or another, but those who have spoken about them say they were ordinary meetings of the kind Train often holds for journalists. It is only the LaRouche publications that have turned them into something special and conspiratorial. The article is not "closely related" to LaRouche within the terms of the ArbCom ruling, and therefore material from LaRouche publications is not appropriate. Many thanks, Slim 18:56, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
My rationale for including a link was that, at the time, there was an article entitled John Train Salon, and it seemed a bit ridiculous not to link to an eponymous article. I don't object to your deleting it, but for the record, do you have any evidence that Train "often holds" "ordinary meetings" "for journalists"? --HK 13:34, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Desegregation busing

message: The After 2007 section states:
"Even those school districts that voluntarily created race-conscious programs are under pressure to abandon these efforts as the white parents are refusing to participate in any pupil assignment programs. In some cases, white parents filed reverse discrimination lawsuits in court."
While the term "reverse discrimination" is not expressly included in federal civil rights laws, these types of lawsuits are generally brought as discrimination cases under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other statutes.
Because anti-discrimination laws were originally enacted to prevent discrimination against minorities and groups that were historically disadvantaged and denied opportunities in the workplace, there has sometimes existed a perception that members of majority groups are not protected by the same laws. However, these laws generally prohibit all forms of discrimination based on protected characteristics, including those against members of a majority group (as established by the U.S. Supreme Court's 1976 McDonald vs. Santa Fe Trail Transport Co. decision).
I am wondering if anyone can provide a anything remotely resembling a citation in this seemingly ad libbed nonsense?
I propose to eliminate the section entirely as it is entirely uncited and the use of the term "reverse discrimination" suggests bias.

:No, I don't think it's a problem.  The "language" in "Chinese language Romanization" refers to all the spoken varieties as a unit, regardless of whether you prefer to call them dialects or languages individually.  --Umofomia 22:35, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, but you see, a quirk in the English language lets us get around this issue because a noun phrase acting as an adjective cannot be plural.  This is why you have phrases such as "two-car garage" and "haircut" rather than "two-cars garage" and "hairscut," which are ungrammatical.  So even if it's supposed to be "Chinese languages," using it as an adjective for romanization forces it to be "Chinese language romanization" no matter what.  "Chinese languages romanization" is ungrammatical.  So whether you believe it is one language or many, "Chinese language romanization" is still correct.  --Umofomia 08:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on a recent uptick in bio pages flagged for deletion. At least three (that I'm aware of) very popular Baen authors were flagged within a couple days of each other, all purportedly for inadequate source references. Odd that they would all pop up at once, no?
I'm told that fans who have attempted to improve these pages have been rebuffed by a editor who admits to have no knowledge of the genre: consequently rejecting references to niche publications who are the most likely sources for credible information on these authors. It's a fairly small community of authors, fans and fan-fic writers, but it sounds like anyone knowledgeable enough to fix these pages is rejected for being too close to the topic!
Is this happening in any other sections? Other authors?
Any suggestions on how this can be worked out?

:The Kadiri princes of the 12th century ruled over a land that was never free from rebellion. In 1222 Kertajaya was defeated by an adventurer, Angrok, and a new capital was located at Kutaraja, later renamed Singhasari, near to the harbours of east Java. The changed economic circumstances in the archipelago as a whole must now be taken into account, since they have an important bearing on the internal history of Java in the 13th and 14th centuries.
