thread_title:  "METAL GEAR SOLID 2 SONS OF LIBIRTY" listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] 

message: I've been going through a lot of the sources for the section which analyzes the themes of the game and, apart from it coming off as "gushy", it attributes various blurb mentions of said themes that seem to have only been made in passing reference to it (such as "sexual orientation" and "incest"), and does not at all constitute being explored "in significant detail". There appears to be a whole plethora of links that have been dumped after a long laundry list of "philosophical themes" that the game supposedly expresses, which I do not have the time to cross-reference for each and every one. I think each specific philosophical theme should be cited individually, not given a dump of links at the tail end of a long list. Does anyone else agree? And shouldn't we only include said themes if they are actually explored in-depth instead of being mentioned off-hand? I'm also not sure how academically rigorous mentions of it in gaming publications in columns and opinion piece articles for places like "GamesRadar" and "Gamasutra" are, if we are to be truly exploring the philosophical merit of this game.

Talk:Navassa Island

message: The unofficial flag of Navassa Island is an interesting bit of trivia, but it has never once flown over the island, including in the nearly a century that the Coast Guard operated a lighthouse there. It has, as far as I can tell, only been used once in real life, for a single ceremony held by the Park Service in Hawaii (see NAVA News 208). Since it has no official status, wasn't created by someone on the island, and has never flown over the island, does it really belong in the infobox?
I'm not necessarily advocating for deleting it entirely but IMO it should be moved to a place of lower importance in the article.Jbt89 (talk) 02:21, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unofficial Flag 

message: The island is American. It does not have a claim over the island because it does not need to. Haiti has a claim. We should not make out there is any form of equality here. There are many areas of the world where a country has a claim over another country's land and that does not change the legal sovereignty status. There are very few genuinely unresolved areas. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 20:37, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi , Is this a general comment or a concern about a specific part of the text? I mentioned competing U.S. and Haitian claims in response to 82.74.197.160's edits to the infobox to help explain why the fields/values were the ones being used. As it stands, I think the infobox and text are both clear that the U.S. established a claim to the island under the Guano Act and that Haiti asserted its claim a decade or so later (but based on a preexisting claim). I don't think anyone disputes or that anything in the article the disputes that the U.S. has de facto control of the island and considers it an unincorporated part of the national territory. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:46, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

text: The claim is disputed, so de jure sovereignty is in doubt, but de facto sovereignty (you're right a better phrase than "de facto control") is clear, especially since Navassa was claimed under the Guano Islands Act, which specifically says the U.S. has no obligation to maintain or defend a claim. Beyond that, it's an unincorporated territory, which implies the U.S. asserts control more than sovereignty, which is partially why Jones v. United States (1890) was decided based on U.S. authority to punish mutineers on the high seas. For what it's worth, to be encyclopedic, I think we properly have to recognize the U.S. authority over the island and the Haitian claim without inappropriately weighting one over the other. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 23:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Has anybody noticed that the first time Yami Marik appears in the dub, Johnathon Todd Ross plays his voice as a darker version of regular Marik's? The afterward, he just speaks as regular Marik and the guys at 4Kids lower the pitch of his voice digitally. Open GoldWave and Episode 90 and see for yourself (Set Play speed to 1.20 and you get regular Marik's voice, likewise, use regular Marik's voice and set Play speed to 0.80 and you get Yami Marik's voice). This is also evident in one of the Noah arc episodes. They forgot to lower Marik's voice pitch so Yami Marik sounded like regular Marik. Ggctuk 09:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Syntax

message: Today an IP user (2606:6000:FD0B:CA00:9B5:2EE7:91F3:F3B9) changed Korbel's identifier from "Czech" to "Jewish" – a change that was quickly reverted by Kautilya3.
"Jewish" does not generally denote a nationality; the nationality in modern terms would be "Israeli," but of course only if the person were from Israel. "Jewish" denotes an ethnic identity and a religion. (I note that in the case of Kafka we say he was Jewish, but only in the second paragraph describing his ethnic origins. I believe Kafka often is identified as a Czech writer in the German language.)
In Korbel's case, the change was not only an improper use of "Jewish," but also an oversimplification, since Korbel was born in what was then Geiersberg, a town just inside Austria-Hungary, south of what was then Glatz, Germany (now Kłodzko, Poland). His birthplace is now in the Czech Republic; it was renamed Letohrad only in 1950.
Considering these complex historical circumstances, I suggest Korbel be identified as a "Czech-American diplomat and political scientist of Jewish descent." Sca (talk) 21:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think his Jewishness enters the picture only insofar as he faced persecution. Neither his diplomacy nor his political science have anything to do with him being Jewish. Moreover he became Catholic while in London. So, Jewishness matters even less. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 22:22, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Donald Crowhurst

message: Presently (Aug 2023) we have the word "businessman" in the opening sentence of the lede to describe Donald at the time of his entry into the Golden Globe Race. I note that a previous effort to change this to "inventor" was reverted some years back, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Donald_Crowhurst/Archives/2017#Reverting_of_new_lede_29/10/15 . Clearly "businessman" is not incorrect (he did run a business after all, not too successful by all accounts) but I am not convinced this is necessarily the best word to describe him - after all, many people run businesses (could be import-export, anything that turns a profit) but few do what Donald did - in effect he *was* an inventor, of devices that he thought would make his fortune, and apparently spent many hours tinkering in his workshop devising new ones or whatever - not really the role of a conventional businessman. In reality his business venture was set up as a means to market and profit from his inventions, of which the Navicator was merely the first cab off the rank. (Others might include the self-righting system for trimarans, plus his onboard "computer").
I note that in the list of contestants for the race he was described as an electronics engineer (per Tomalin & Hall, "Prologue" p. xiv); another word that might suit could be "entrepeneur", defined here as "someone who starts their own business, especially when this involves seeing a new opportunity" which does more or less foot the bill, perhaps.
