message: As requested on WikiProject Children's Literature, I have checked this article for assessment and agree with the current rating of C class. To improve, I recommend you replace the Trivia section, create a section on the book's cover to replace the comments in the lead section, extend the lead section to provide a comprehensive summary of the article, remove the plot summary section as a possible copyright violation and rewrite the Synopsis and Character sections to remove technical terms specific to the series and therefore make the article more accessible to those who haen't read the series. If you have any comments on this assessment, please leave them on my talk page. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 12:48, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Ranald S. Mackenzie

message: Let's ignore for the moment the right or wrong of our treatment of the Native Americans during the Indian wars. If anyone deserves the names of America's "greatest Indian fighter", it is Ranald S. MacKenzie. When Custer blew it at the Little Big Horn in 1876, it was MacKenzie the Army sent for due to the stellar reputation he already had in fighting the tribes. What a shame that history remembers George Armstrong Custer for his blundering in the Black Hills and forgets the many victories that Mackenzie gave the Army during the Indian Wars. Mackenzie graduated at the top of his 1862 West Point class while Custer graduated at the bottom. Both reached Major General of Volunteers at the same age during the Civil War. Yet popular history remembers the great failure and ignores this successful leader, as exemplified by the length of their Wikipedia pages. Mackenzie's many wounds suffered during the Civil War and the Indian Wars in the service of his country contributed greatly to his later insanity due to the pain he endured. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 02:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Gwynne actually got his PTSD theory from Robinson, who was the first to articulate it. I happen to agree, but there are other theories out there as well. Grant didn't start backing Mackenzie until after the Civil War. There is some evidence to suggest that Emory Upton might have been a backer of Mackenzie (although they were close in age and rank).

Talk:Raphael Isaiah Azulai

message: * (1) To change "ELBISSOP SI TI EBYAM" that has been corrected to "MAYBE IT IS POSSIBLE" is a correction.The Hebrew was displaying backwards, letter by letter. His father's article doesn't have this problem.  To revert without saying why is a mistake.
* (2) To revert an edit saying that there are sources in multiple languages (Hebrew, Italian) indicating someone lived to 1826, but possibly 1830, especially when there is (or was) a challenge to the 1826 year, https://tools.wmflabs.org/kasparbot/persondata/challenge.php/article/Raphael_Isaiah_Azulai, once again, without indicating why mention of 1830 was reverted, is another mistake.
This is not meant to say that ELBISSOP SI TI EBYAM/MAYBE IT IS POSSIBLE that the 1830 sources are incorrect, just that the 1826 sources have a challenge.
http://www.genazym.com/item/index/0000001947/  says 1826.

Talk:Nicanor Reyes Sr.

message: A very few sources give middle initials for this guy; some "I" and some "B".  And Jr. is clearly "M".  I presume they're different because they are initial from the mother's name?  Anyway, an editor is recently changing both the "B", per his personal knowledge of the family.  I think it would be better to omit them if we don't have good sourcing.  The vast majority of sources, at least for Sr., do not use any initial.  Dicklyon (talk) 17:14, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Nicholas Dirks

message: I am writing to request edits to this article on UC Berkeley's previous chancellor, Nicholas Dirks. It is clear that the person or persons who assembled much of this entry had an axe to grind with the chancellor, and I would like to challenge some of the existing content on campus controversies under Dirks' leadership, as well as suggest new content related to Dirks' contributions to the campus (which are notably missing in the current version of the article). I would like to disclose that I am an employee of the university's public affairs office, so want to suggest these edits to an editor rather than make any myself.
Recommendations below:

Talk:Nir Shaviv

message: The article asserts Shaviv " hypothesised that passages through the Milky Way's spiral arms appear to have been the cause behind the major ice-ages over the past billion years." This is total rubbish. He responded to this (and other misconceptions) on his blog: http://www.sciencebits.com/NoInterview. 
This article's assertion is appaerently based on the IPC report which asserted: "Dr. Shaviv found that the meteorites that Earth collected during its passage through the arms of the Milky Way sustained up to 10% more cosmic ray damage than others." 
His response: "Nope I didn't find that. The meteorites were all recently "collected" by Earth. And previously to that, these Iron meteorites roamed the solar system for 10's to 100's of millions of years. What I found was that during spiral arm passages, these meteorites "sustained" at least a factor of at least 2.5 more "cosmic ray damage" then the same meteorites while outside the spiral arms."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.1.16.157 (talk) 10:52, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
