Talk:Castle Bromwich

message: Is there a good reason why the reference to Castle Bromwich being a suburb of Birmingham is repeatedly being removed?  I realise some residents might like to play up the village thing, but removing this and also editing it to obscure the fact that it is surrounded by Birmingham proper in 3 sides is a bit odd.  Anyone in doubt whether Castle Bromwich is a suburb of Birmingham need only look at a map - it is directly between two other suburbs within the city limits - Castle Vale and Shard End, and its within the M6.  The fact that it is outside the formal city limits is irrelevant: suburb doesn't imply being within the city limits.
Fourth side is Smiths Wood which is classed as North Solihull, dont know why but it is. Castle Bromwich was a village until Smiths wood was built along side it and latter the Parkfields Estate
Also, why is the link to West Midlands (county) repeatedly being removed?  
Finally, saying "it was a small village until 1974" is nonsense.  Lots of houses didn't suddenly pop into existence in 1974.  It ceased being a small village (if it has ever been one, which I doubt, seeing as the census population for 1871 was 687 which is actually quite a decent sized village, not at all small, which would be certainly <200) sometime after the Second World War, not on April Fool's Day thirty-two years ago.
In 1974 perhaps the largest council estate in europe, at the time, was developed. It has since been divided into samller estates like smiths wood but was originally called chelsmley wood.  
Why do we only ever get people saying "it is a small village" on articles about suburbs or large commuter villages?  Hmm.  Morwen - Talk 16:38, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Avoiding commercial bias

message: http://www.mskousen.com/Books/Articles/perserverance.html is linked in the references section.  I've read the whole thing, and I really wonder why it is included.  The point of the article is to show "rigorously" that Paul Samuelson had a Keynesian bias, and the thesis of the writer is that he "slipped his bias" into a foundational Economics text to brainwash an entire generation of Economists into accepting Keynesian ideas.  (The author doesn't use these precise words, but the intent is clear.)  The author's concluding paragraph suggests that Samuelson's "advice has contributed to certain of the economic problems that the United States faces today."  I just don't think Mark Skousen, (http://www.mskousen.com/About/Biography/biography.html) deserves to be the critical voice by which people judge a hugely influential economist like Samuelson.  I have removed it as a result.
* Mark Skousen is qualified enough to have his own wiki entry and is also the author of "The Structure of Production" and several other books on economics. Now if it were Wikipedia policy to exclude links to articles that are reasonably critical views of a mainstream work, that would be something else--but it's not. It makes sense to allow readers to make their own decisions. -- RayBirks 23:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "The Perseverance of Paul Samuelson"

message: "It was the best selling economics textbook for many decades and still remains popular, selling over 300,000 copies of each edition from 1961 through 1976.[2] The book has been translated into forty-one languages and in total has sold over four million copies..."
 
Uh, 19 editions at 300K apiece comes to 5.7 million, so somebody's asleep at the switch here.
 
And one has to wonder what text it was, "many decades" ago, that sold more.  This has rather a whiff of bogosity about it altogether.

message: "The 1958 text introduced a "family tree of economics", which by the 20th century consisted of only two groupings, "socialism," listing Marx and Lenin, and the "neo-classical synthesis," listing Marshall and Keynes..."
 
This has at least half a dozen errors in a single sentence.
 
The whole article should be withdrawn and replaced either by something competent or by a simple placeholder.  As it stands this is not fit for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Talk:Paul Emmel

message: The simple fact that a few bloggers here and there have criticized Emmel's work is not worthy of mention here, given the sheer number of blogs on baseball; someone is certain to have criticized virtually every umpire at some point. In order to mention it in the article, the blogs should be written by noteworthy baseball writers (usually with articles of their own), or writers for major newspapers, and they should be identified in the article. Keep in mind that articles on managers and players do not recount every published criticism of their play or decisions. Likewise, making two incorrect calls on one play isn't notable unless the game or play had a particularly large impact (such as a playoff game). Just a note that "on May 8 someone said Emmel made a bad call" or "someone said his strike zone was inconsistent" doesn't remotely cut it. MisfitToys 01:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hayford Peirce 02:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Introduction date

message: The article is written in the past tense, as if nobody plays Probe anymore.  But it's my favorite game, and everyone I introduce to it seems to love it too.  Makes me wonder why it is discontinued.  My guess is that it was widely misunderstood to be a game about having the most difficult word, maybe one that nobody has ever heard of.  A player can score some points off his own word, if it survives the final 2 rounds of intense scrutiny.  But the game is really about being the best (and luckiest) at getting the other players' letters and words.  That's where most (usually all) of your own points come from.  
In fact, a pretty good strategy is to use a short word yourself, maybe with a couple of blanks, to minimize the points that you give away to the other players.  In terms of points, it doesn't matter whose word is revealed first and whose is revealed last.  Nevertheless, nobody likes to be the first revealed, and to that end, short words also work well, because they tend to be passed over.  (I'm more likely to find whatever I ask for in a 12-letter word than a 5-letter word.)  Several times, in different groups, I have tried the word "pterodactyl", and each time it was the first word revealed, because it attracted all the attention.  "vodka" works much better.
Even when you aren't the high point scorer, there is a certain satisfaction in having the last word standing or the word that was most fun for the other players.  So I figure there are effectively 3 ways to "win".
The advice I give newcomers at the start of a game is to pick a fun word that everyone is likely to know.  ("fun" includes difficult-to-spell.)  When your last card is turned over, it's much nicer to hear compliments than groans.  We usually don't bother playing with the deck of white cards.  And to speed the game along, we keep a public list of what's already been asked of each player.  That also greatly increases the chances that the last word will be revealed in the final 2 rounds.  So players are more likely to choose fun words than 'killer' words.
