The only reason it says "liberal-centrist" is because it is referring to the organization's position when it was used as a vehicle for the campaign of Javier Pérez de Cuéllar. After Perez de Cuellar left it has pretty much been a shell organization until Humala and the Peruvian Nationalist Party brought it back to some level of noteriety to back Humala's campaign.

thread_title: Notes

message: Who says it's "unnecessary and misleading"? () This is an opinion masquerading as a definition.
Using the same word repeatedly within a short bit of text causes a kind of echo in the reader's mind, which distracts him and interferes with cognition. (The same is true in music; a constantly repeated motif quickly becomes annoying.)
Further, employing synonyms or appropriate near-synonyms can add subtle shades of meaning and facilitate euphony, essential to readability. Any accomplished writer can tell you that.
The current article is simply erroneous. Sca (talk) 17:14, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Sca, are you claiming that the term "elegant variation" applies to all uses of synonyms within a text, and that such word variation is only sometimes unnecessary?  The current definition is saying that the term "elegant variation" applies only to those synonyms which are unnecessary.  Your supporting argument is that varied terminology is sometimes desired, which contradicts nothing in this article, because such variation — by definition (as currently presented in the article) — falls outside the scope of the term. 2605:6000:EE4A:2900:6250:C93B:E4D4:B4BC (talk) 01:01, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:The Face of the Enemy (novel)

message: SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!
This message contains descriptions of resolutions not only to the novel at hand, but also to Inferno, the Doctor Who TV serial/story to which it is a sequel.
I just added a revision to this article flatly stating that this novel cannot be accepted as canon to the original series. That is because in its latter stages, its true villains are revealed to be counterparts to various Brit characters from the parallel space-time continuum that was depicted in the TV story Inferno. However, there the Doctor was absolutely certain that the alternate planet's destruction had been assured by the penetration of the Earth's crust by the Stahlmann project--in England! It is something of a stretch but not an impossibility for the Doctor to be wrong about the entire planet's fate, but this novel's plot requires several British people to have survived the catastrophe, and therefore the island of Great Britain did. For the Doctor to be that wrong is absurd, to say the least. This is absolutely crucial to the resolution of the plot. Therefore, this novel cannot be canon, and I stand by my revision to that.

Talk:Kamen Rider Kabuto

message: I added a Plot Hole section, which was deleted Floria L who claimed they were not plot holes. I'd love to know why they aren't plot holes. 
--Plot Holes--
		 
In the early episodes, the Worms were said to be able to mimic only the humans that they killed, perhaps as a result of the tentacle penetration that the Worms in those early episodes used. This fact was again repeated by the Worm who mimiced Kagami Arata's little brother. However, the Worms are often shown to assume the form and memories of humans they have not killed yet. To add to the confusion, the tentacle aspect of Worms was dropped and they instead began spraying an acidic-foam onto their victims, which makes it more difficult to understand how the Worms are inheriting their victims memories. 	 
 		 
Also in the early episodes, ZECT employees are shown to have special goggles that detect Worms. For some peculiar reason, these goggles (which are obviously the most efficient way to find a Worm in human form) are not used in later episodes, such as Episode 14 and Episode 16 where a whodunit type of detective work is instead required to figure out who is a Worm. --Teram10 21:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion from O Connor Donn

message: I am raising an esoteric (and not very important) grammatical question to which I don’t know the answer.  Isn’t it inappropriate to precede a phrase like “O’Conor Don” or “Mac Carthy Mór" with the direct article “the” according to the preferred grammatical style used these days to discuss chiefs of the name?  I know that it’s tempting to insert “the” as it seems to resonate the style used when referring to a chief of the name as (to use a fake example) “The Jones.”  Also, in English, saying that (for example) “the Great Jones is late for dinner” sounds more natural than saying “Great Jones is late for dinner” and thus we have a tendency to throw a “the” before O’Conor Don and similar titles.   Does the direct article precede these titles in the Irish language?  And if not, how appropriate is it to follow that lead even though it is counter intuitive for English speakers?  Thanks. - J. Dwyer, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
O'Conor Don
You are correct, "The" is not used in Gaelic and it is more correct to refer "O'Conor Don" than "The O'Conor Don" and this is how the current O'Conor Don prefers to be designated.
J. O'Higgins-Norman 2 December 2006

Indeed, you are correct about the PIB and NGIB being part of the Australian Army, but racially they were made up of men that are not considered to be "Indigenous Australians" (generally considered to be Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people, I believe), being made up of Papuans and New Guineans, and hence the distinction in this regard.
