Category talk:French actors

message: With so many French actors and actresses, maybe we should think of breaking up a separate :Category:French actresses to be more gender-logical.--Jusjih 06:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This category isn't all that big, less than 400, tiny compared to :Category:American actors.  When it is over 400 we can add a table of contents.  I believe gender based categories are against policy unless there is some extenuating circumstance. -- Samuel Wantman 08:03, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: French Wikipedia has :fr:Catégorie:Actrice française (French actrice) separate from :fr:Catégorie:Acteur français (French actor). French has much stricter rules on grammars and genders than English. If you consider that gender-based categories are against policy unless there is some extenuating circumstance, please specify which policy you are talking about. This is why I use discussion page before any changes. wikt:actor at Wiktionary does not consider the word masculin only, though we normally use the word wikt:actress for females. Does that mean that the word actor may be gender-independent in English?--Jusjih 07:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

added the description “darkly humorous” to the film.

thread_title:  GA 

message: From a quick glance, there is something wrong with the organisation of the article with regard to the sections called "Morphology" and "Grammar". In itself this is incoherent since morphology forms part of grammar. It might be that "Syntax" should simply replace "Grammar" in the second of these, but then it might be necessary to redistribute the subsections depending on which of these headings each subsection really fits under. Perhaps another option to consider would be to merge both sections (i.e. "Morphology" and "Grammar" as they now are) into a single section called "Grammar". That would obviate the problem I just referred to. It would also bring the article in line with many other short sketches of languages in Wikipedia where there is just a section called "Grammar".

Talk:Monte Solberg

message: This was removed:
	 
"Solberg has also expressed that he has friends in the blogging world who "inspire" him. One of those inspiring blogging friends, is the anti-aboriginal blogger Kate McMillan, owner of the Small Dead Animals blog who has called for Canada to recreate residential schools for indigenous children in Canada, as well as saying "Canada needs institutions to lock up the Indian activists and apologists..."
Monte Solberg actually did say that this woman was his "inspiring friend".
post here
If his "well known blog" is important enough to comment on, then why not some commentary about the content of that blog?
 
Mr.Solberg has been asked repeatedly by various progressive bloggers in Canada about his "inspiring friendship" with Kate McMillan. He has chosen to ignore her racism and bigotry towards Aisan, Aboriginals and Angolans.
So clearly he has no problem with being associated with this woman. In fact.. he seems "proud" of his association with her.
:I could understand a mention of McMillan if:
:*The part of the article about Solberg's blog were much larger than it is;
:*The mention was clearly NPOV;
:*It was proportional to the actual relevance of the information.
:As it stands, the section about McMillan stands out as a major criticism of Solberg in a relatively short encyclopedia entry.  I'm sure there far more substantive criticisms of Solberg out there, is this guilt-by-association really necessary?  -Joshuapaquin 17:34, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
Actually, she said "We need institutions to lock up the Indian activists and apologists", (http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2004/12/normans_spectat_9.html).  So if we're going to restore that sentence it should read "[Canada] need[s] institutions to lock up the Indian activists and apologists".  Though I don't think we should preffix it with "anti-aborgional blogger".  How about using "blogger" and letting the quotes speak for themselves.  24.226.18.229 22:00, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello. It is POV to say that his actions were "egregious" (Wordnet: conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible).

You can leave it up to the reader to judge whether his actions were "egregious" (and especially whether they were the most egregious). I'm not defending his actions, but if we present the facts, then readers should be able to judge for themselves that he was egregious without us preaching it to them.  24.224.153.40 00:15, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

message: In 1969 or 1970 there were Bradysiesmic events at the harbor. The harbor floor rose to the surface. Two or three Roman Temples slowly rose out of the harbor. They had sunk about 79AD. I know that the city had the harbor dredged and made deep again using explosives. Does anyone know what happened to those Temples? There are two articles on this event with photos in Time and Newsweek in 1969-1970. This article fails to mention this amazing event. Some vulcanologists believe the magma chamber under Mt Vesuvius moved west causing the harbor floor to rise. This same phenomena happened in nearby Capri turning Capri from a peninsula into an island. Why is there no mention of this Earth moving event?
