thread_title:  Achive request 

message: WP:Attribution#No original research states that material is original research if (among other things) it is material that:
* introduces an analysis, synthesis, explanation or interpretation of published facts, opinions, or arguments that advances a point that cannot be attributed to a reliable source who has published the material in relation to the topic of the article.
What that means is, to say that Drudge's opinion goes against the views of the IPCC, you need a reliable source making that observation. WP:BLP states that adding original research to a blp article is a violation. So until a proper source appears, that statement should stay out. - Crockspot 04:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The problem with that is that nobody of any note these days bothers to comment on what MD does or doesn't say or do or think. It's all in the uncitable blogosphere now. I suppose that's the advantage to Drudge of his growing obscurity. Ok, leave it as it stands, although it just hangs there in space now. Why is his sceptical view of GW part of his Persona and Criticism? Can't you improve it, Crock, to show that it's a controversial opinion he's advancing?  Skopp (Talk) 07:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for understanding. The rule has been recently clarified a little. Whether or not his GW opinion is notable enough to mention is another question, but I thought that was hashed out above. I'm neutral about that, but I'll take a look at it later, see if it can be better presented. - Crockspot 13:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heading off an edit war with Skopp 

message: The Soledad O'Brien thing at the end of the Drudge article seems to have the following problems: Unsourced or Original research not allowed.  Not to mention, in any case, it seems ridiculously petty (I think Drudge critics can do better than that; if not, they should hang it up.  In comparison, the NY Times entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_york_times does not include a laundry list of their controversies going down to the level of this Soledad one, or it would requires an entire new (looooooong) entry, just to cover the last 10 years).
 
I am tempted to delete the entire bit, but perhaps someone could fill me in on why my above assertions are incorrect?  Thank you,

Talk:Koos du Plessis

message: On 19 July 2011 an anonymous user (41.18.247.35) added the following line “According to some sources, Du Plessis committed suicide”, between the last sentence and the reference to Du Plessis’ Biography page.  
This creates the impression that this statement also comes from the same source, and since the source is in Afrikaans it might be difficult to verify. However the source document has no such statement, so I have removed the offending statement.  If someone has a credible source for this statement it can be re-added - with a valid reference (please), else it should be considered opinion, not fact.

Template talk:Infobox War on Terror detainee

message: I don't know how to write, or modify infobox templates.
I have a couple of questions about that.
The microformat for ages is a great idea.  How difficult would it be to create a similar machine readable format for ID numbers?
I am not sure what the intent was for the
"CSRT Summary" and "CSRT Transcript" fields.
If it was intended to provide a place for links to the document within the .pdf files I think that would be a good idea.  The way I do this, is I append the starting page number, after an octothorp.  The .pdf files usually contain multiple documents -- sometimes dozens of documents.  Inconvenient for readers.  They have to not only open the right external link to read the document, they have to remember the page number to go to.  Abobe reader won't take them to the right page number.  But I find it useful to have the page number in the URL.  So, when I want to refer to a document within one of these files I put something like this: 65-82 -- which expands to 65-82
As of September 2007 there are now nine different classes of .pdf files:
It would be great if the template had a field for all these documents, and if they too were of the machine readable microformat style.

message: The field says "charge", but it expands to "conviction(s)".
Twenty captives have been charged.  Only one has been convicted.
It is confusing that the charge field expands to conviction.  And, I suggest, it is not useful,
when only David Hicks has been convicted.
Is it safe for me to go ahead and change the source so the charge field actually expands to say "charge"?

 Thats 21.3 per person.

Compeared to the 'Portable Network Graphics' 171 million results
ATM 'Papua New Guinea' its self has 77m results.
Since the fact that PNG is not a country of people that don't use the internet that shouldn't be less important.
Also on top of this is the fact that in google search australia for png (avoiding wiki it self) The first 6 results are for Pupua New Guinea.

Talk:The War on Britain's Jews?

message: According to the editing guidelines for films, the next section following the lead should be a plot summary. Now I don't think the heading "Plot" is appropriate for a documentary, but I can't easily think of a satisfactory alternative. "Outline" is about the best I can think of for now. (Maybe I'll mention something on the WP:FILM project page.)
In any case, what the article has at the moment is neither a plot nor an outline, but a selection from Littlejohn's Daily Mail rant. I have therefore put the bulk of this section into a new subsection "Littlejohn's view", which accurately describes what it is.
Ideally, we need to get someone with a copy of the film to write a "plot"/"outline"/whatever section according to the guidelines for film articles. I saw the film when it was first broadcast, but I don't trust my memory enough to write an accurate summary.

message: The current article says:
:Although the essay ends with a rather conventional wish expressed in language unfortunately reminiscent of government bureaucracies—"No difference of nationality, race, creed, or conviction, age or sex may weaken our effort as human beings to live and work for the good of all"
I'm about to change it.  Here's why.  It was written in 1957.  Conventional wish?  This was the height of the cold war.  In the US, of McCarthyism.  Racial segregation is US policy.  It is unclear a catholic can be elected president.  The modern women's rights movement hasn't started yet.  Children are chattel.  Yes, the sentence stands out as bizarre.  One encounters this effect often when reading history written in the 50's and 60's.  But it stands out because the culture of a half century ago is so vastly different than ours.  Government bureaucracy?  There wasn't a major government on the planet advocating this full set of principles. 02:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
