Talk:Kleptocracy

message: Joe Biden
Hunter Biden  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.58.152.35 (talk) 01:16, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I have qualms about this section, and feel that it places undue emphasis on Russia and China as specifically prone to kleptocracy. I am also unsure about the use of the phrase "kleptocratic Russians and Chinese" (since it seems [and i may be reading too much into this] to be implying things about the populations of those countries, rather than the failings of their governments and/or ruling classes), and these concerns are compounded by the use of several american newspapers as sources in this section. While I have no doubt that the russian and chinese governments exhibit a high level of corruption, money laundering, and the like, I feel that we should endeavour to find better sources that the newspapers of those countries' main rival.
It also might be worth noting that money laundering and embezzlement do happen in democracies such as the united states on occasion. Margatroidwitch (talk) 02:58, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no possible way that an article about a form of government in which an elite steal from the people can be interpreted as being about the population of those countries in general. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:34, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, but that section seems less concerned with the actions of states and more about the actions of private interests within the state. If I was writing about, I don't know, militarist tendencies in the Canadian government, the term "militarist Canadians" suggests I'm talking about people, not states, since I'm using a plural demonym. Similarly, "plutocratic Russians and Chinese" doesn't sound like a description of a government or governments, it sounds like a description of people, since I've never seen the Russian government referred to as "Russians". Margatroidwitch (talk) 18:59, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: "Okay, but that section seems less concerned with the actions of states and more about the actions of private interests within the state."  Yes, that's correct, that's basically what a kleptocracy is about. You seem to be fundamentally misunderstand what the term means: "government by those who seek chiefly status and personal gain at the expense of the governed", per Mieriam-Webster.

Talk:Methionine

message: The entire "restriction" section is sourced to primary sources based on fruit flies and mice. These are not reliable in regard to WP:MEDRS, WP:MEDANIMAL and WP:MEDDATE. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  It's possible, especially if we had a pair of high-quality sources saying this, that the article should have one or two sentences saying that methionine restriction has been researched by people interested in life extension, but "19 years ago, a primary source found an effect in mice" is almost never WP:DUE for any article (even for articles about rodents).

Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog 3

message: Has anyone watched Sonic Prime on Netflix lately? In episode 7 is a cut-scene alluding to Sonic's first encounter with Knuckles.

Is that worth mentioning in the article? Nebulous2357 (talk) 17:49, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not, but the bare minimum for inclusion would be if a reliable source points it out. (WP:VG/S outlines the type of sources that are and aren't usable.)

Talk:Alphabetical list of airlines

message: This page seems obsolete. There's already a list of airliners at Airline. If we want a separate list article, no problem, and it should be at List of airliners. No need for a "Airline History" list - especially not with a wrong title. Jeronimo 17:53 Oct 11, 2002 (UTC)
I agree. olivier 08:43 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)
I also agree. there should be just one list, not two. --mav
I was about to merge this into List of airlines with a view to turning this into a redirect - indeed, half way through the task - when I realised that every one of the airlines mentioned here actually links to a real, live Wikipedia entry about that airline. Looking at the history I saw that AntonioMartin has been working away at it, keeping it up to date. The two lists, in other words, hold quite different information: the other one is a great long list of airlines, this one is only airlines that have entries on them. That makes it a valuable resource. 
For some weeks, I have been doing exactly the same thing myself, only for Aircraft types - maintaining a list of types that have wiki articles, as opposed to the list at List of aircraft that just lists everything. 
For some time, it's been in the back of my mind that Aircraft types is not really the appropriate place to maintain that list, just as Airline History Links isn't really the right title for this list. But what should these lists be called? Any ideas? Tannin 15:07 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)
-Notice also that this is an alphabetical list, the other list of airlines,  is split up by country, not sure thats relavant! but what harm does it do ?  Perhaps List of airlines (alphabetical)? would do ?
----
The other night, I spent a few hours synchronising this article with the list of airlines, finding quite a number on one list that weren't on the other, and a few more not on either list. List of airlines was more complete, however, and is at least roughly categorised. In time, it would certainly be useful to have a "flat" alphabetical list, but for now, keeping two almost parallel lists updated seems impractical - the two lists are already out of sync again... --Rlandmann 04:44, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: "Her villains support duty and collectivist moral ideals."
This sentence as published is clearly incorrect and highly misleading. 
Based on personal knowledge of Ayn Rand's novels and philosophy it is clear that this sentence should be edited as follows: 
"Her villains support duty and *reject* collectivist moral ideals."
Please correct the record. 2603:8001:C200:1637:F492:43CE:6A38:DF3A (talk) 12:12, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The bot reverted your edit because you inserted it with commentary rather than just making the change. But even if properly formatted, the change you are asking for is wrong. I'm not sure if you are misreading the sentence in the article, or if you have profoundly misunderstood Rand's views. Rand herself was opposed to collectivism, so her villains typically support collectivist morality, which is what the sentence says. Her villains definitely are not portrayed as rejecting collectivism. --RL0919 (talk) 17:12, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
