message: It seems to me, that every dictionary I've looked in, and all the top hits on Google, say that a shuttlecock is a name for the 'birdie' of badminton. This comes from the original game, shuttlecock and battledore, where the shuttlecock was the object hit back and forth and the battledore was the paddle used to hit it with. I'm going to revert the article and then add back some relevant information about this sport of shuttlecock, but I think that the far more common definition as a birdie should take priority in this article.

message: Are there any animal rights issues surrounding the use of feathered shuttlecocks? Were do the feathers come from? Are certain species of animals used and raised in captivity? It'd be an interesting topic.
:The feathers are typically taken from live geese. Most come from China and India. Only a few feathers from each bird can be used, so it takes about three birds to fletch two shuttlecocks. Most of the birds go on to be killed for meat. 314159 (talk) 19:14, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Testicular Feminization

message: Why shouldn't the AIS article be merged with the T Fem article since they both describe the same condition? I think AIS is the preferred term these days-- it certainly has the advantage of being less confusing to people. I suggest leaving AIS as the main article, with a redirect from T fem. I would keep some of the more elaborate T fem formatting and not drop any verifiable info.

message: This article is currently in the category "Genocides in Africa". Presumably, this characterization stems from this article which I've found from the List of genocides (where this war is listed). What should be done here? We can't have this category sitting around if its not sourced in the article—is there something more to include here? Aza24 (talk) 03:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Writing as the author of 87% of the article and the editor who took it through FAC, there was no genocide during the Third Punic War. Either as we understand it now nor as it was understood then. There was a protracted military operation, at the end of which the survivors of the assault on a single city were enslaved; this had happened thousands of times before and has happened thousands of times since. Then, to quote from the article: "Surviving cities were permitted to retain at least elements of their traditional system of government and culture. The Romans did not interfere in the locals' private lives and Punic culture, language and religion survived, and is known to modern scholars as "Neo-Punic civilization". The Punic language continued to be spoken in north Africa until the 7th century AD." This is all well cited to scholarly sources. Even the article "The First Genocide: Carthage, 146 BC" states "It was not a war of racial extermination. The Romans did not massacre the survivors, nor the adult males. Nor was Carthage victim of a Kulturkrieg." I consider the category entirely inappropriate, but have little energy for possible edit wars over the minutiae around every FA I write. If you have, then please feel free to remove it and watchlist the article against reinstatement. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:04, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

message: You have now twice retargetted this redirect to Xian (Taoism), and I have reverted. Your edit summary was 
"Linguistic sense" is irrelevant here: it's a matter of helping readers find what they are looking for. At present the city Xi'an is the Primary Topic, ie the article believed to be the most likely to be looked for by a reader searching for Xian. Many anglophone readers do not use the correct form, but refer to the city as "Xian".
We would not redirect from Xian to a disambiguated title Xian (Taoism). If that article is the primary topic, it should be moved to Xian, and other changes made appropriately. If no article is a primary topic, then the disambiguation page Xian (disambiguation) should be moved to Xian. Neither of these moves would be uncontroversial, so each would require a formal "Request Move" process so that it could be properly discussed. 
See WP:RM for how to request a page move. Please do not retarget this redirect again. Thanks. PamD 16:04, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

"Challenging" means that you do not believe that it is possible for anyone to find a source.  This material should not be restored unless and until someone finds and cites a source for the removed material.  Note that adding citations to the material is the appropriate response, even if you believe that blanking 95% of the article is WP:POINTy and disruptive editing.
