Talk:New Kōmeitō Party

message: I believe the affiliation between the Komeito party and Soka Gakkai has been stopped? Soka Gakkai still supports the movement, but there is no official connection (my understanding).
We'll look into it. The only obstacle is the burden of proof. JCB
No, I don't think so. Komeitou still sees itself as the political arm of Soka Gakkai. You have to be a member of the religion to join the party.
On the New Komeito homepage I think they make it fairly clear that the party and Soka Gakkai are seperate organizations. 
Also why is the name of this article the New Clean Government Party and not New Komeito? In all articles I've seen in English in Japan, New Komeito is used and the name the party uses on the above homepage is also New Komeito.
The statement that New Komeito's aim is to institute a Buddhist democracy is also heavily POV and should be changed or justified. The comment about sending troops to Iraq while valid also sounds like POV. --Sekizaru 14:09, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: This 'affiliation' is simply that Soka Gakkai members like to vote people who have same kind of ideas, other Soka Gakkai members certainly have. But, Soka Gakkai have also endorsed some candidates form othet parties, LPD for example. And in this light I don't think membership in Soka Gakkai is requirement for Komeito candidacy.
Separation of Soka Gakkai and Komeito means that if you are candidate of Komeito, you can't hold responsibility position in Soka Gakkai. This has been so since -72 I think.
I would also still like to see where exactly Daisaku Ikeda has claimed that Komeito aims to establish ND as state religion, when Komeito is PRO freedom of religion. He has many times denied this, as well as Josei Toda.
Me too, I checked there website and there they deny it. If no sources come up I will soon remove that section. Garion96 12:41, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Liège Province

message: The following needs to be gotten rid of: "It is an area of French and German ethnicity" 
Whilst there is indeed an historically German ethnicity within Liege (politically one could call it 'German Liege' Cf. so-called 'Walloon Brabant') there is no such thing as a 'French ethnicity' in Liege but Francophone/French-speaking Walloons, Dutch and Germans, NOT ethnic Frenchmen. Andorra is also officially listed as a Francophone nation but this does not make the folk there of 'French ethnicity'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.12.127 (talk) 20:17, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  There is NO ''French ethnicity'' - there are Walloon, German, Dutch background. Lots of so-called Walloons are Frenchified Germans and Dutch.  

message: To talk of a 'German Liege' is way more historically sound than the officially cooked up "Walloon Brabant" in the 1990s. An hundrefoldtimes more should 'German Liege' bear weight over the upcooked 'Walloon Brabant'.

Talk:Lists of military aircraft of the United States

message: I propose that this article be split into two articles, with one covering 1919 and 1924 USAAS sequence and the other covering the 1962 Tri-service sequence (the relatively short 1956 US Army sequence is already covered on the sequence's main article).  The current list is extremely long, and covers all but one major US military designation system.  For sequences that were continued from where they left off after 1962 (such as the original transport, trainer, and helicopter sequences), the post-1962 designations would be included in the Tri-service article. - ZLEA T\C 15:15, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this article should become a list of lists, but not in the same way as List of military aircraft of the United Kingdom.  The problem I have with your proposal is that the British use a name-based designation system (with the exception of a few undesignated aircraft using manufacturer designations) which makes splitting lists by branch convenient and easy.  American designations, on the other hand, are numerical sequences.  Many designation systems (especially the 1962 Tri-service system) are shared between branches, which is inconvenient if we want to split by branch rather than system. - ZLEA T\C 19:47, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

text: Sorry to miss this discussion, this was a weak consensus for such a dramatic change to a decades old article. The new format of seperate lists, seems to have introduced factual and readability issues. A75 (talk) 14:08, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I find it awkward to shift between different lists to see aircraft that were part of similar periods, for example the B-52. The second point, that some aircraft are designated under the current system, even if their number started under a previous system. Take for example the B-52J, which is new designation even though the "52" was originally arrived at under an earlier setup. Maybe in the end it will turn out better at some point, the previous page was getting a bit long after all. That page had been updated for two decades so it had a lot of corrections and was easy to search a single page. A75 (talk) 16:51, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Infinite monkey theorem

message: Previously, the caption said "A Chimpanzee probably not writing Hamlet." This was funny, but perhaps too humorous for an article. A user opted to change it to "a chimpanzee sitting at a typewriter," which, although changing the caption is reasonable, strikes me as redundant. Worth changing to something else?

Wikipedia talk:Abundance and redundancy

message: I don't totally agree. A user like User:172 repeatedly copied the same content from article to article, this was felt by several people (including me) as an abuse. There's a question of measure: suppressing all redundancy is bad, suppressing redundancy for the sake of tweaking the POV of an article is even worse, but copying whole paragraphs from one place to another (perhaps only indirectly related) may also a waste of resources, and here I mean mostly the intellectual resources that are devoted to improving these paragraphs in case they need to be.
This being said, I'm the "culprit" of some factual duplication between Walloon Brabant and Flemish Brabant. I didn't think and don't think that the small amount of duplicated information deserved a third article on its own; and even if it did, repetition there is kept short and doesn't harm.
--FvdP 23:50 Jan 30, 2003 (UTC)
: I dislike redundancy, and prefer instead summary. So, for example, September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack/Timeline links to the more detailed timelines of the background, the day, the rest of the month, October, and the aftermath. It doesn't duplicate information in those articles, it summarises them. Martin
Yeah, Martin, but I got reamed once when I tried to re-organize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict page with a header that led to three logical periods of the conflict. Since theres so much there, I thought it would warrant that kind of depth, so each page could contain summaries within to be expanded upon on other articles, like creating a stalk that has branches off of it. 911 was done in a spirit of co-operation though, and theres a big difference. I dont really disagree with either one of you, and it doesnt seem like you disagree with me on the whole either. Is a question of degrees, and I will rephrase that part. Though, some may want to cut this article up and move sections here and there.... :)

Most of this information I pulled from your article on Villa d'Este, yet I and those people I know who are aware of this place call it Tivoli Gardens.
