replies: text: How about this: http://bertberns.com/ Grievous Angel (talk) 10:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked at that but I noticed that it was written by the Berns family. I hoped to find an independent source. The problem is that Broadcast Music Incorporated refer to him as either Bertrand Berns or Bert Russell but not Bertrand Russell Berns. The BMI database usually has the real name as one of the aliases, and the use of "Bertrand" suggests that it is the former. It is possible that the BMI have not been given the correct name but it is also possible that the Berns family are not particularly concerned with accuracy. This is typical of official websites, which are usually more concerned with marketing their product (in my experience). Thanks anyway. Labalius (talk) 23:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Dancon/Irak

message: Hey, guys.  I just finished copyediting this article, and I wanted to mention a few things to whomever is in charge here.
*The article is generally poorly-written.  At times, it was difficult to decipher what the sentences meant, and I'm afraid I might have guessed wrong in the editing sometimes.
*I removed a few specifics about soldiers' deaths which are generally considered to be un-PC to mention.  For example, I changed 'killed by other Danish soldiers' to 'killed by friendly fire,' because it frankly just sounds nicer and more respectable.
*I have not touched the section about Bjarke Kirkmand and the two soldiers honored with The Defence medal for heroic deeds, but I personally believe that it is not relevant and does not belong on the page.  While the statements are touching, they are not relevant to knowledge of Dancon/Irak.  I would suggest rewording the section to:
>>>The Defence Medal for participation in Iraq has been awarded posthumously to 1st Lieutenant Bjarke Kirkmand's parents. 
>>>Each commander of Dancon/Irak has also been awarded the Order of the Dannebrog for his service as a commander in Iraq and the Danish Army.
>>>Soldiers at Dancon/Irak who have been killed or wounded during their duty have also been awarded The Medal for Killed and Wounded in Service.
>>>Furthermore, in May 2005, two Danish soldiers received The Defence Medal for heroic deeds during their tour of duty in Iraq: Sergeant Ole Gretlund and Pfc. Thomas Huusmann, both of Den Kongelige Livgarde.

message: The Danish government announced today (Feb 21 2007) that Dancon/Irak 9 will be the last Iraq team and that the larger part of the operation will end in August 2007 when Irak 9 returns home. Cimic in Baghdad is to be reinforced and a helicopter suveilence service is to be established with four helicopters and 50 people. The security of the southern regions of Iraq is to be taken over by Iraqi Army. The Danish military will focus on the ISAF/Taleban war in southern Afghanistan instead (that's the plan now at least) and the government plans to send 400 to 600 soldiers extra to aid ISAF.

message: Wikipedia* is the only place I see Jerry Ragovoy credited as composer of this song. Pata Pata is very much unlike his other songs and the song/lyrics would suggest an African composer. The feeling of the song not very "white Jew" as he was described in the article.
Other sites suggesting that the composer of Pata Pata (or Phata Phata) is Dorothy Masuka are:

One of Wikipedia's external links for your article on Dorothy Masuka cites her as composer of Pata Pata.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/brf9
Most sites describe her as being equally a composer and singer.

thread_title:  Ettiquette Section 

message: It is rather silly to give the coordinates of The Seeing Eye, although, I admit, looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates, it is not expressly forbidden.  In any case, it is at least doubly silly to give them twice, once in the upper right corner, and once in the Infobox.  I would gladly accept recommendations as to which one to get rid of and how.  Bruce leverett (talk) 03:15, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coordinates 

message: Much of the article is based on Seeing Eye publications including the Seeing Eye website.  This is highly unsatisfactory in an encyclopedia, for all the usual reasons, some of which are summarized in WP:SECONDARY and WP:INDEPENDENT.
I have been touching up the use of sources.  For instance I have modified some citations of the Seeing Eye website to be more usable.  But I recognize that this does not solve the problem of quality sources.
Probably some of the material that is backed up only by Seeing Eye sources is just plain non-encyclopedic and should be removed.  For example, perhaps the whole description of puppy raising and basic training could be replaced by a one- or two-sentence summary.  Who would expect to see such detail in Wikipedia?  I would be interested to hear from more experienced editors about this.  Bruce leverett (talk) 20:26, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:The Mercy Seat (song)

message: In the religious sense, the Mercy Seat is far more complicated, or has more nuances, than God's throne in heaven. changes might reflect this.
A later acoustic version by Cave was released on the album B-Sides & Rarities.
This is inaccurate. The acoustic version is from an EP released in the early 90s called Stripped. This also contained acoustic versions of "Deanna" and "City of Refuge", both in a gospel style. Cash's Solitary Man album definitely came later.
The B-sides and Rarities album is entirely made up of re-releases. There is no newly recorded material, and nothing that hadn't been released in the form it is on the album previously.

message: The article and the talk page seem to be deficient in real world examples. In USA the Automobile industry should be the most visible topic in discussion of quotas, but is not mentioned in the article or elsewhere in talk. In 35 years of experience the foreign manufacturers chose to build and operate factories in USA with little increase in cost or price. The result is that autos, components and spare parts are some of the outstanding employers of factory workers in USA.

message: I was born in Hillsdale, Michigan in 1946, not that long after his best-known work, but I think I knew nothing of him until, let's see, mid-'58 to mid-'60 when I did junior high school back there. My parents thot of him as a local boy, as my father had been, and the only bookstore in town carried G. C. when a new edition came out somewhere in that window, and I was given a copy, in which I recall reading of enemy soldiers putting on camouflage-makeup and lying in a heap of corpses until an opportune target ("brass", I presume, or a juicy war machine) presented itself. Dunno if he's called forth a bio more detailed than ours, nor whether he holds any enduring interest, but if so, ours might profit from its inclusion; perhaps Hillsdale College was his primary link to the town.--Jerzy•t 22:41, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
