thread_title: Edits

message: This article is going to need to be split up. Most of what should be written about LEGO is not in there yet; the portion about the history of the LEGO Company could fairly be given its own article History of LEGO. LEGOLAND is probably important enough to have its own article, especially considering there are, as of this writing, four LEGOLAND parks, each with their own events and attractions. Volumes could be written about the cultural impact that LEGO toys have made. Much could also be said about the LEGO enthusiast culture, who have developed thousands of amazing and interesting creations, from clocks to harpsichords to six-foot high Technic mecha. It may be possible to get photos for many original creations like those; I don't have any of my own that are of interest, but we could e-mail the creators of some of the better ones to see if they'll give permission for a GPLed photo or two. Any suggestions about how the article may be split up? -- Wapcaplet 01:13, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)
thread_title: Split

message: Apologies if the answer to this is well known, (I am a newbie) but is the idea that the word 'Lego' means "I put together" or "I assemble" in Latin actually a myth, or was the inventor himself mistaken (in which case perhaps it shouldn't be stated as fact)? The online dictionaries that I consulted don't give translations that are close to this at all. Rb 19:17, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: That is a good question. My source for it was the 1987 book "The World of LEGO Toys"; the LEGO official website also claims the translation is true. I checked the online Notre Dame Latin dictionary and their translation is nothing of the sort. The closest definition seems to be "lego: to gather, choose, collect, pass through, read / appoint, select". I know next to nothing about Latin, so it could well be a myth. Perhaps there is some alternate spelling that would yield the "I assemble" definition in Latin? Since the original Danish was "LEg GOdt", maybe some variation on that was meant, but it apparently doesn't translate to anything in Latin. -- Wapcaplet 22:46, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Elections in Morocco

message: *Justin, you removed the mention that Morocco has had a multiparty system since the fifties, when At the time it was the fashion in the third world to have a one-party system. I would like to hear an explanation on why you removed this information.
*"Due to ongoing military occupation". This is taken from the mouth of a Polisarian. Elections have been held in Westren Sahara as the Moroccan southern provinces since 1977, and have always known a high participation. Western Saharans are in the every Moroccan Party, and in the parlement, and in the government. I think the phrase you added is ment to hijack the subject on Moroccan election, and unfortunately when you added it there was none to shed light on it. --SteveLo 21:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Norvergence

message: It has been proposed that this article be deleted for lack of notability.
The entire top portion of this article has major neutrality issues.  The use of caps to emphasize points is easy proof and appears to be biased and opinionated.  This article needs to be written from an objective point of view.  I don't think notability is an issue with this company.  It was major news in 2004 when they went bankrupt, especially on the East coast.  It made major headlines in New Jersey.  A little research will prove it.  NorVergence customers were specifically told that if they should go out of business, they would continue to receive service through their local phone company for the same price.  This was in their training manual and told to countless customers.   This was not the case, and constitutes fraudulent business practices.  I know because I was a Screening Manager. Anonymous user.  2:27 pm 2/15/08
I agree that the current revision is far from neutral.  The operation was indeed a fraud and a scam, thousands of customers lost money and were left without phone service, in addition to facing lawsuits for the lease of useless, vastly overpriced equipment.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.71.231.157 (talk) 03:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Trinity Bellwoods Park

message: On a recent (within two years) historical walk through the Park, our guide stated that the remaining outline of Garrison Creek, "the peanut", exists due entirely to a "little old lady" who refused to allow them to fill it in, and sat in front of the bulldozer. The story could quite possibly be an urban rumor, but it was being told by a former mayor who would have actually been alive during that time, so it's not entirely dismissable.
It's a great story, if true. It would certainly make a great addition to the article. Can anyone verify the story one way or the other?

regford 21:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Our article currently says " This is the case in some jurisdictions, including the United States, but not in others, including England and Wales" which seems to imply in England and Wales truth is not an absolute defence in defamation cases. Is this correct? My understanding which seems to be supported by defamation is truth was an absolute defence for civil cases although under the common law defence of justification. It wasn't for criminal cases, although only technically abolished in 2009, criminal libel hadn't been used for many years. In any case, with the abolishment and combined with the Defamation Act 2013 it seems to be truth is definitely an absolute defence for any defamation occuring after the Act came in to effect. There is still a key difference with some other jurisdictions in that the defendant actually has to prove the claim is true (unlike in some other places where the plantiff has to prove it's false) but that doesn't mean truth isn't an absolute defence.
