Talk:Left Opposition

message: This article is in dire need of expansion - there's nothing here on the platform of the left opposition or details about its struggle inside the CPSU from 1923 to 1927. AndyL 14:07, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: The second sentence of this is "it was formed in response (and in opposition to) the rise of Stalinism."  This is a very narrow definition for the second sentence, and I wouldn't even say it is correct.  The entire party outside of Trotsky's faction was against him, including Nikolai Bukharin whom it would be hard to call a "Stalinist" whatever that is.  And saying he was banned as Stalin consolidated his power forgets the fights between the Stalin faction and Bukharin faction of the Central Committee.  
These articles on Russian history are written in a ridiculous manner, where individuals matter more than huge groups, as if Trotsky and Stalin exist in a vacuum and if say Stalin got sick and died suddenly, these ideological fights would have disappeared.  Two factions existed which many people belonged to, and Trotsky and Stalin just happened to lead them.  It's as if saying if Kerry died, all of a sudden every liberal on the West Coast would suddenly agree with Bush, because the only two people in the country who matter are Bush and Kerry.  This is quite ridiculous, yet so many of the Russian articles are written like this.  Stalin would never have been able to get where he was without a lot of support from the powers that mattered in Russian society. Ruy Lopez 07:47, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: What are the arguments for and against adding  to this page? Alternatively, should we have a box for the Communist Party of the Soviet Union instead? We could make it incorporate all the factions from the Left Communists to the Anti-Party Group, which may help put it in perspective. Ahasuerus 13:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Currently, International Left Opposition redirects here, but the article deals exclusively with the Left Opposition in the CPSU. Should there be material about the Left Opp elsewhere in this article? Or a seperate page on the ILO? I'm thinking, for example, about adding material about the Left Opposition in France.

Talk:Fred Hampton

message: Initial Incident
In the Raid Section under Assassination, the article mentions "An alternative account said that Clark answered the door and police immediately shot him." I was looking through some of the other sources to see if I could source this. In this article, it mentions
However, it doesn't mention the details of the initial incident. This article mentions:
This source details the initial incident between Sgt. Daniel Groth and Mark Clark.
Records of the Shots
In the introduction to the article it mentions "Law enforcement sprayed more than 100 gunshots throughout the apartment; the occupants fired once." The quote earlier that I used from the source they used, indicates a range of 82-99, rather than above 100. In the Raid Section it mentions "This was the only shot fired by the Panthers." with four sources.
Edits
It might be more accurate to replace the mention of alternate accounts with the summary provided by the Chicago Tribune, or add a cite to the alternate version of events. I am not able to find evidence or sources for the specific version of events where Mark answered the door when the police knocked then opened fire.
Not to downplay the severity of the assassination and raid by any means, but from what sources I can find, there was an estimated 82-99 bullets used in the raid, not over 100.
That introduction and raid section sentences mentioned earlier both mention only one shot being fired - specifically from Mark Clark as a death reflex. It might be better to sync the sources for these two sentences since they reference the same incident.
For the sake of historical context, it might be worth adding this photo after the raid from this article. It shows the officers right after the raid outside of 2337 W. Monroe St., Chicago. I'm not familiar with the copyright status of the image.

message: I don’t know what the Haas source says, but Marxism-Leninism-Maoism originated in Peru in the 1980s (according to Wikipedia anyway), therefore the term would not apply to Hampton.

Talk:Viktor Yanukovych

message: The most recent 3 edits on June 1st 2022 by an IP user introduced some controversial and unsourced statements to the initial paragraph:
* The "statesman" thing discussed previously has been added again;
* "protests in support of the European Union" has been changed to "European Union supported protests";
* "After rejecting the Ukrainian-European Association Agreement, Yanukovych was ousted from office in the Revolution of Dignity." has been changed to "After rejecting the Ukrainian-European Association Agreement, Yanukovych was ousted from office in an European Union sponsered [sic] uprising.";

Talk:St. Bernard (dog breed)

message: I’m a curious reader just stopping by. There seems to be a big missing piece to this article: exactly how the dogs accomplished their “rescues”.
Were they used as search and rescue (I.e., with handlers nearby?) Were they just let out to wander around and find people? Were they used only after an avalanche? Etc, etc.
There seems to be no information at all about this in the article. (It doesn’t even refer explicitly to the barrel myth, I.e, that they carried barrels of alcohol to warm travelers they came across!)

replies: text: As a student of ancient history I fully agree ;-). But we might be prejudiced. When I tested this on Google, I found that most links pointed to the crater, not the person. Therefore I created the disambig page to preclude any fights between historians and astronomists. Paul 08:13, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Your thoughtfulness credits you, but one of the things to watch out for is that WP content is now being mirrored by hundreds of sites, so if for instance somebody makes up a list of craters and throws it into WP, without actually creating the crater article, all the mirrors will show up as hits. The astro folks have agreed to append "(crater)" to all of their creations, so as not to force hundreds of regular pages to made into disambigs, and as it happens this is one of those pages; I don't think you're going to get any fights, because the issue has already been resolved in a way that favors letting "Hippalus" by itself be about the person, with links from that article to things named after him.

thread_title: Untitled

message: According to a recent (2020) PBS Series on "Africa's Great Civilations," it was Hippalus who recognized the seasonal alternation of prevailing winds that allowed the growth of trade between the Swahili Coast and India and beyond. There is a 3 minute preview here: https://www.pbs.org/video/africas-great-civilizations-swahili-coast-africas-great-civilizations/#:~:text=For%20over%20a%20thousand%20years,8c%20February%2027%20on%20PBS. Hippalus is mentioned around 2:23 - 2:55. There is no transcript available, so I am copying the closed captions: "In the first century B.C., a Greek navigator named Hippalus noticed that the months between November and March, the monsoon winds blow from India towards Africa, that is southwest, then in April, miraculously, the winds would reverse so between the months of April and October, the winds blow from the Swahili coast back northeast towards India." The growth of that international trade fueled the growth of civilization along the Swahili Coast.
Should mention of the growth of civilization and trade along the Swahili coast be mentioned in the main article as an outcome of Hippalus' work?  Should Hippalus be mentioned in the main article on the Swahili Coast? AdderUser (talk) 06:05, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Computer-assisted language learning

message: From Graham Davies, November 2010
I hadn't looked closely at this article for a couple of years - sometime back in 2008. In the meantime it had got into a dreadful mess - too many cooks. The only way it can be rescued is to rewrite it from scratch. I am now in the course of doing this. Some of the existing material can be recycled, but a lot of it is irrelevant and out of date. I am taking on board some of the comments that other contributors have made. It should not take me more than 2-3 weeks to knock this article into shape.

Talk:Hurley

message: This article started out as an article on the town in Berkshire (now Hurley, Berkshire). On the 10th October, that article was moved to its current position by Ludraman, a new content on the subject of the Hurley as used in Hurling substituted, but no attempt made to fix-up the existing links to the town article; although to be fair the new article did contain a dab header. 
Icairns spotted one of the links rendered incorrect by this move and fixed it, I noticed one or two others and started to fix them but then realised that one of the links (User:Topbanana/Reports/A disambiguation link is suggested) was suggesting that there were other places called Hurley that needed disambiguating. So I have moved the hurling based content to Hurley (stick) and disambiguated all the non-user-space links. -- Chris j wood 20:33, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Simple sentence

message: A simple sentence contains at least one subject, and a verb or verb phrase. The subject comes before the verb. The verb describes the action of the subject, or the state of being, as in forms of the verb, 'to be'- these are called linking verbs.
First of all a simple sentence is not defined by its subject and verb. It is defined by being an independent clause with no dependent clauses. Second, a simple sentence can have more than one subject. This is called a compound subject, not to be confused with a compound sentence. An example would be: Mary and George went shopping. This is a simple sentence with two subjects: Mary and George. Thirdly, a simple sentence can have more than one verb. This is called a compound verb. An example would be: George jumped and skipped all the way home. Fourth, when is the subject sometimes called an object? What kind of object? Direct object? Indirect object? Object of the preposition? None of these are subjects of a sentence. Fifth, the verb of a sentence does not always come after the subject. An example would be: Into the desert rode the soldiers on a jeep. The subject is soldiers and the verb is rode. Rode does not come after the subject. Lastly, like I said in my first point, nothing in this definition has anything to do with a simple sentence. A simple sentence is defined as having one independent clause with no dependent clauses.
The definition must be changed.Mazeface 18:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
