Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Sherurcij

message: In response to question #3, Sherurcij mentions that some people think responses like "Michael Moore is fat" or "George W. Bush is a Nazi" are valid ways of ending a discussion, apparently of either.  This prompts an interesting question in my mind...  Michael Moore is fat.  In fact, according to the CDC, he's morbidly obese.  George W. Bush, on the other hand, is not, nor has he ever been, associated with Nazis...  So the "interesting question" in my mind is, what prompted these two "examples", and are you (Sherurcij) able to discern the difference between them [putting aside for the moment the context in which you mentioned them]?  TShilo12 09:12, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a difference between the two statements, obviously.  Do either of them belong on the talk page for September 11th, of course not.  What prompted the two examples is that it's simply a random example, one from each the "left-wing" and the "right-wing" of absolutely illogical rebuttals to the other side's points. Disagreement on an intellectual level is a wonderful thing, Noam Chomsky and Michael Coren present two very different views of today's world, yet I respect both of them for being able to present their views in an intelligent, logical fashion - and when I disagree with either of them, it's on a respectful level where I can understand their point, but feel that my own outweighs.  On the other hand, Michael Moore and Pat Robertson (to grab a leftwing/rightwing extreme of each) rarely contribute to intelligent discussion or debate, and probably end up doing more harm than good through their attempts to polarize their listeners into assuming the other side is "evil", and they are "good".

Talk:Authorization

message: The entire theme of this article seems to be to refute the idea of authorization being the action of authorizing, and that it can only be policy making. So Cisco et all were wrong? All based on what seems to be rather weak reasoning:  
"It would be absurd to interpret confidentiality as "ensuring that information is accessible only to those who are granted access when requested", because people who access systems e.g. with stolen passwords would then be "authorized".
So when a door is marked "authorized personnel only," trespassing isn't possible? Can one not be authorized under false pretense? The whole Wiki-rampage against a common use of the word seems pointless and unnecessary. Authorization involves creating policy and enforcing it. And if it doesn't, this article needs to better describe why not.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.42.104 (talk) 07:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

message: In the section about Queens, it is stated that:
"Queens, also called the originals, are the first chiropterans. In any given generation, there are always two Queens, who are female twins born from one of the last Queens, and they are naturally antagonistic with one another."
Shouldn't that be edited, as every queen can give birth to two children. There doesn't seem to be a reason why the number would have to stay at two mature queens, as it should theoretically be possible to raise the number up to the double amount of children each generation.

I have not included the following stations because either a) they have adopted an eclectic radio format rather than a freeform one, b) it isn't clear from the article whether their main format is freeformat or not, or c) their main format once has been freeform but isn't anymore or it isn't clear whether it still is:
*WCBN-FM
*WMMR
*WBAI
*WNEW-FM
*Radio Paradise
*Free Radio Santa Cruz
*KEXP
*WXPN
