Those interested in Harry Potter can either look in film sections or the article itself. If you wish to take this to mediation or a review, I would be happy to comply, but as per the common practice on these articles I can almost guarentee it will be removed.

replies: text: Perhaps this is indicative of its unsuitability for inclusion upon this page, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a book, not a film. Of course, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) is coming out in July 2007 as well. Themillofkeytone 23:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The simple matter of the subject is that thousands of movies, books, games, toys, concerts, benefits, world publicity campaign, and other popular culture events happen every day. Wikipedia has a very strict policy about advertisements per WP:ADVERT. Take a careful look at Wikipedia itself, it has no banners or pop ups and its articles are about encyclopedic information. Now, Harry Potter may make this article, but not as a future scheduled event. Perhaps it becomes greatly covered by the media as the largest grossing film of all time, or some horrific disaster happens, but right now its only a movie like everything else.

Talk:One strike, you're out

message: This article is not neutral. Several words and phrases indicate bias: "Clearly, this policy would not work in any common-sensical or rational fashion." There is nothing clear about this conclusory statement, and rather strongly implies that the authors of the policy have no common-sensical [sic] or rational thought processes.
The writer then moves even further from the matter of public housing policy into their poorly informed theory of criminal law penalties. That, in itself, disqualifies this section. However, let me address the legal matters to put this to rest.
This section shows considerable ignorance of legal issues and theory. Does "redress of their previous ill-behavior" mean the payment of damages or restistution? The matter of damages or restitution is a matter - within the Common Law - of civil lawsuits, not criminal trials. The criminal side of the Common Law looks only at "ill behavior" as an offense against the state ("against the King's peace"), regardless of damages actually inflicted or whether the victim wishes prosecution. The writer does not understand the theory of criminal law.
The post degenerates into arguementation. The writer, who naively states: "...which is how criminal courts *should* work..." (emphasis added), ignores how criminal courts actually work and the purposes which criminal law exist. The writer confounds criminal and civil jurisprudence atempting (wishing?) one would act like the other, or is it vice-versa? It is unclear.
That criminal penalties have many (and perhaps conflicting?) purposes (punishment, repentance, preventative noteriety, etc.) is well understood by legal theorists - but this subtlety is completely missed by the writer and s/he camps on a theory of penalty that is actually rather minor in criminal jurisprudence: restitution.
I recommend that this article be deleted.

message: This is a problem.  In his heyday, he was a very prominent producer and record label owner.  Although he wasn't as famous as Sean Combs, Suge Knight, or Brian 'Baby' Williams, he introduced R&B to some very powerful talent, including Chanté Moore, Jesse Powell, Keke Wyatt, and produced on Mary J Blige's album.  A talent that died too soon, it will be harder to find sources to flesh out an article about him now.  But do I worry about him being notable.

*Some biographical information required, including career between 1939 and 1951, information on death

Whoever wrote that clearly has never watched the show.

message: It seems that I am the first to contribute to this article. I really don't have much to say about it, only that I appreciate very much Mr Alexander's work on the propagation of the English language. I own a copy of "Right Word, Wrong Word". As a non-native English speaker, I studied it as carefully as I could, solving every exercise 4-5 times. I don't think I am the only one who appreciates it, too, since the price of an old copy of the book is about $99.99 (plus S&H), and it has not been released since 1994.

Talk:M. M. Kaye

message: I was curious about the 1961 unpublished M M Kaye novel entitled Wound of Spring. Apart from being listed in the Bibliography at MMKaye.com I can't find any online reference to this work apart from obvious borrowings from Wikipedia. There's no lack of references to a 1960 novel entitled The Wound of Spring by Indian novelist S. Menon Marath, and I can't help but wonder if the mention of a purported similarly named unpublished M M Kaye novel isn't the result of some confusion - the specifics of which I can't imagine but it's very curious that Kaye would plan to in effect recycle Marath's title. Unless "wound of spring" is a quote from some third-party - and I can't find any evidence to support that - then Kaye either thought up the same title as did Marath by an amazing coincidence, or else Kaye decided to pretty much purloin the title of an existing work. And given Kaye's background she likely had at least heard of Marath's book. Of course Kaye may have utilized Wound of Spring strictly as a working title to be replaced by an original title upon a publication fated to not take place - which begs the question: why not? All of Kaye's earlier adult novels were reissued after Far Pavilions hit with the exception of the inaugural Six Bars at Seven so the odds would favor any novel Kaye wrote seeing the light of day. And while Kaye admits that she set the bar low when she wrote Six Bars at Seven by 1961 she presumably had enough literary finesse that anything she produced would have had some worth - even if Kaye herself had misgivings about Wound of Spring, once she'd passed away I don't think her publisher would have shared them. Of course it's possible Kaye's novel was no longer in the hands of a publisher if she had ever even submitted it rather than herself deciding to suppress it - oh who knows? Seriously - who knows? Does anyone have any substantial info about an unpublished novel by M M Kaye entitled Wound of Spring? I can't access any of Kaye's volumes of autobiography - can anyone verify they contain any references to an unpublished novel she wrote entitled Wound of Spring? --Cherrylimerickey (talk) 02:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
