text: I tried to bring up a centralized discussion about the redirects NPOV and Npov at RFD, but apparently that is the wrong avenue.  Currently, these two redirects have different targets which seems inappropriate.  They should either both redirect to Objectivity (disambiguation) or Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Personally I think Objectivity (disambiguation) is the right choice. (See also Talk:Npov) Khatru2 05:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

text: *I hadn't noticed Npov; but now that you pointed it out, I agree that it should be made consistent with the all-caps redirect. --Russ (talk) 16:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  According to "what links here", this redirect is in current use on about 6000 pages.  What fraction of those refer to any of the topics on the disambiguation page other than the Wikipedia policy page?  If there is diversity of intended meaning, then I would agree that the disambiguation page makes some sense.  If, on the other hand, the use is exclusively in the context of the Wikipedia page, the redirect should point there.  My cursory review of the first 500 uses leads me to believe that the latter is the case.  Confirmed numbers would be helpful in making the decision.   The lowercase version of this redirect is in use on 110 current pages.  From what I can tell, they also all refer to the Wikipedia policy page, but I haven't reviewed them as closely yet.  Rossami (talk) 06:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry about the mistaken RFD.  I think the benefit of redirecting to Objectivity (disambiguation) with a top link is that someone who is actually searching for an article about neutral point of view will end up in the right place.  People who are looking for the policy will only have one extra click.  This is how it is on the pages AFD, RFA, and POV, for example, where most of the incoming links do refer to the Wikipedia policies.  On the other hand, if someone searching were to end up at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, there is no link to an article about objectivity. When there is some doubt about whether or not a term is a plausible search, I think it should direct to the main namespace.  In this case, I think it is plausible that someone would be curious enough to see what the encyclopedia itself has to say about NPOV since the term is used so much by the editors.

Talk:Deposition (law)

message: This article shows everything from a science book. IANAL but I'm sure that this does not represent a European, Commonwealth perspective. Evil Monkey∴Hello 00:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: CheshireKatz heavily revised this article on July 21, 2009. The primary change I object to is the change of most uses of the word "deposition" to "examination before trial."  EBT is a usage unique to the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules.  Like most New York laws, the CPLR is an appallingly incoherent mess due to the perennial battles between the New York Legislature and the Governor (the CPLR's history is full of futile attempts to fix its internal inconsistencies).  Deposition is the correct term under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, all states that use variants on the FRCP for their local rules, and in California under the Civil Discovery Act.  
The reason EBT is problematic is that in many state courts, discovery depositions can still be occurring even after trial begins, usually in cases involving a dying plaintiff where discovery had to be drastically accelerated to accommodate the plaintiff's right to jury trial under the federal and state constitutions.  So the American legal community generally refers to depositions (as in, "Counsel, have you completed all depositions that you intend to take in this case?"), which is easier to say and is universally understood.  --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:25, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Strange edits by CheshireKatz that are too overly focused on New York practice 

message: Coolcaesar, if you do not like my English, then please explain to me what am I misspelled? I have no problems if you change my English wording, but I do not like that you completely remove all my edits just because I am not a native English speaker. I think this is a form of discrimination, which is strictly forbidden by Wiki rules. I will complain to Admins if you keep removing my edits with no explanation of factual problem, just because you do not like my spelling. I can speak 4 European languages much better then you, but I never treat foreign-speaking people in my language so bad as you do to me. Innab (talk) 19:32, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reverts because of my English 

message: The only times I've seen lawyers for a party serve notice of their own client's deposition or of an allied witness (percipient or expert) are when they think that person is going to die and they need an evidence preservation deposition.  In those depos, the lawyers do follow the same sequence as at trial (direct, cross, re-direct).  
In discovery depositions, one is usually examining the opposing party or their allied witnesses, so the depositions begin with cross and often that's the only examination conducted. Coolcaesar (talk) 11:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Jay Nordlinger

message: Jay Nordlinger does not have any real interest in democracy or human freedom. I've yet to see him write a single column that castigates brutal, freedom-hating, right-wing US-supported regimes with as much zeal as he has (rightly) castigated that of the brutal, freedom-hating dictator Fidel Castro.
Unless Nordlinger is willing to denounce tyranny in general, and not just tyranny that damages the interests of the class that he identifies with, he should not pretend that he cares about freedom and human rights. To him, freedom means freedom for the rich and privileged to do whatever they like to the poor and powerless. But that's not what the word actually means. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.108.77.97 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 26 October 2005.

Talk:Cabal (disambiguation)

message: I struggled with how to put in the multiple works of fiction that use the term to name a group with sinister intentions (drawing on the negative connotation of the word) and finally set them aside in an as far as I've seen to date unique subsection.  I think that there are very few dab pages that would need this section to achieve better readability than the standard format guided by the Manal of Style.

Talk:Siege of Gythium

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of November 11, 2006, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: There are several instances of ambiguity. I adressed some spelling and grammar issues in my copyedit, but there are things I dont know how to go about. For instance, you say: "1,000 picked warriors from Crete". What do you mean "picked"? Also, you mention the "Union of Free Laconians". What is that? You also seem to repeat some words, more specifically "the defenders became reinvigorated. The siege was proving more difficult until Flaminius arrived with 4,000 Roman soldiers.[13] With the arrival of the new soldiers, the allied soldiers were reinvigorated"
:2. Factually accurate?: It appears accurate enough.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Some points could bear with expanding, for instance the aftermath section.
:4. Neutral point of view?: OK
:5. Article stability? OK
:6. Images?: OK
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

I had to make a few corrections for some grammar mistakes, but I probably didn't catch them all, so have another look. The article would benefit with more expansion.

Talk:Caster angle

message: Does anybody know where caster angle comes from? I believe it comes from the caster wheel, used on shopping carts, where the steering axis is in front of the wheel, creating trail.

replies: text: I'm very sure it's 'castor', my dictionary confirms it (with caster meaning a small bottle for sprinkling something, and caster sugar) - but it does seem to be an extremely common misspelling, which could be skewing the hits. Graham 23:02, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th edition) defines it as castor-"the slight usual backward tilt of the upper end of the kingbolt of an automobile for giving directional stability to the front wheels".  I believe that slipping spelling standards on the internet (everybody has voice, which is good) allows for greater instances of "caster".

Talk:Inductive effect

message: In a disambiguation page for "induction" the present page's topic is described as being mediated through sigma bonds.  Is there any reason that this narrow language should be used?  While surely that's the most relevant concept, I see no reason why pi bonds couldn't have inductive effects, for example.  Searches of the literature reveal usage of the term induction to describe effects mediated through interactions other than sigma bonds.  Any reason why the sigma specification shouldn't be dropped in the disambiguation page and in this article as necessary to eliminate incorrect inference of exclusivity in fact or in definition?00:18, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

message: This redirect is completely misleading. The way the AfD entry was made for this page was clearly biased towards redirecting it to Symphonic Metal: Symphonic metal is a term used to describe metal music that has symphonic elements; that is, elements that sound similar to a classical symphony.. Metal opera is the analogue of Rock opera where, instead of Rock music you have Metal music. It´s a complete nonsense to redirect it to Symphonic metal. I think it should be better to redirect this page to Rock opera and include information about Metal opera inside the rock opera article. By the way, almost all Metal opera albums are linking to Rock opera simply because if they linked to Metal opera they would fall on Symphonic metal page, which is completely wrong.
