Object to flippant tone of thise article 69.178.122.114 10:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The contributor of this article may be very gleeful, but the information is rather incorrect: either he contributed his own sadistic creativity, or he mistranslated medieval Spanish idiomatic phraseology such as "al entre" and "metía á golpe." Smashing toes and fingers with hammers was a common form of simple-minded torture, but this has little to do with the tablillas. The only comprehensive source on the construction and deployment of the tablillas was Joaquín Bastús y Carrera, a nineteenth-century critic of Cervantes.  I have modified the article to incorporate his detailed description and, if so desired, can quote verbatim from his 19th-century Spanish text infra.

message: I'd like to nominate this article for deletion. It's a very poorly written article, propped up by unverifiable sources, apparently mostly accumulated by someone hopping from IP address to IP address, and there simply isn't enough evidence that its dubious subject exists.
* The Larousse citation can't be confirmed.
* The Hirsch citation can't be confirmed.
* This content relies on only one single historical source I was actually able to identify: a single aside in a meandering 19th-century commentary on Cervantes.

thread_title: Article for Deletion

message: An alleged form of torture for which actual evidence is vanishingly scant.
This entry's validity rests on a single dubious account from an 1834 commentary on "Don Quixote" which does not point to any actual historical example of its use of and which calls it "rarely used." (The word "tablilla" does not occur in Cervantes' text.)
There are two other sources given which are basically impossible to independently check. WorldCat tells me I am not within four hundred miles of a copy of the Hirsch book. Those two sources are used to (allegedly) support tangential stuff that seems only to be there to make the article longer. 
This is an old article that hasn't been challenged before, but that doesn't make it a good article.

Talk:Sleeper agent

message: Ummm, The addition of fictional sleeper agents w/ sf examples is I trust well meant, but... The definition isn't different as implied and certainly isn't as suggested (post capture torture = sleeper agent). There are certainly sf sleeper agents which better fit the definition, and there are numerous ones in other fiction. Along the lines suggested the Manchurian Candidate is one, and there was a Donald Pleasance episode in the original Outer Limits which employed the device (multiple agents activated by phone calls after years...), the Romulan agent on the station in Trouble w/ Tribbles is probably a better example from Star Trek. And there are probably better examples from actual history than those here. 
I would suggest that added category would be better served with other than the current examples. I suggest they be removed. Thoughts, comments, reactions? The alternative definition is certainly inapposite.

message: As has been established many times on here for a long time, articles need to resist just being pointless lists of instances in films. That's what TVTropes is for, not Wikipedia. The only really notable sleeper agent in my mind is the Manchurian Candidate, which practically launched the genre of the unwitting sleeper. Any other additions need to be seriously considered as to whether they were extremely influential or not. Listing every time a plot twist involves a double-agent is unencyclopedic. --Mr.98 (talk) 14:22, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree & disagree.  The article certainly contains much cruft, but your own addition is also just a little bit crufty, and certainly pov. I've reverted your change, and let's see if we can instead whittle down the list to something more manageable.  Also it's important to note that a sleeper agent is not by definition "unwitting", they are equally likely to be just inactive.  -- a_man_alone (talk) 15:27, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Nullification

message: :In more recent times nullification has reappeared, most notably in the form of the nullification of the USA PATRIOT Act by Alaska and (to a lesser extent) Hawaii.
Can someone point to the actual resolution?  It's not uncommon for a state to pass a symbolic resolution
protesting a federal act, or even of establishing a policy of non-enforcement of federal laws, but
it would be odd for a state to actually attempt to nullify a federal act with any real expectation
that the nullification would stick, and I have my doubts as to whether Alaska actually tried to do this.

Talk:University of South Carolina System

message: Shouldn't this be the location of the University of South Carolina Columbia page, and the other universities be disambiguated at University of South Carolina (disambiguation)? john k 19:18, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Taken care of. The former disambiguation page can now be found at University of South Carolina System Yardcock | talk 21:50, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)
It is my humble opinion that this article should be deleted.  I've never heard of the System, and the external link at the bottom of this article goes directly to the University of South Carolina, not something called the System.  If this article should stand alone as it currently does, then it would be more accurate for it to be titled "University of South Carolina Campuses."  However, this would be redundant since the USC article already references all eight campuses that comprise the University of South Carolina.  I disagree with the assessment that the USC article should be more specifically geared towards the Columbia campus.  The section currently titled "Campus" in the USC article could easily be changed to "Columbia Campus," and this article or the other campus section in the USC article could be placed directly below "Columbia Campus" as "Regional Campuses."  None of the campuses consider themselves as anything but Gamecocks, and each should be respected as integral parts of the entire University of South Carolina.  Please see reference #1 on the USC article for how USC tallys its enrollment.  It certainly appears that the University brings all campuses under one banner.  That banner should be the University of South Carolina.  69.164.62.134 06:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I think this article lacks precision and proper sourcing. As an example, I had to remove a sentence in the introduction that claimed Faurisson was fined 21000 francs in 2006 — in 2006, France used the Euro as currency and no longer the French franc. Press reports from the time talk about 7500€, which is about 49000 FRF. It is possible that whoever wrote this mixed several different prosecutions.
It would probably be a good idea to compile a list of all the prosecutions, trials and sentences of Robert Faurisson, with proper sources - preferrably press reports from the time, not later commentary. David.Monniaux (talk) 07:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

In any other way, it seems strange to me that you wouldn't at least suspect the motives of someone who does seriously attempt to deny that event.
:Chomsky does not say he is misquoted by William Rubinstein. Rather he does not agree with Question 1. He again asserts that not all holocaust denial is necessarily anti-sematic. Removing that part from the article is definitely wrong.
