Talk:Westlothiana

message: Westlothiana was demonstrated by Ruda et. al. (2003) to be related to Lepospondyli, with the two groups forming a clade sister to Amniota. Their study retains Westlothiana within Reptiliomorpha. Therefore, update the Westlothiana page.

message: The original text of this article, created April 30, 2006, is an exact duplicate of the text at http://www.ppne.co.uk/index.php?m=show&id=16387, which, however, is dated June 1, 2006. It is therefore appears that this WP entry was created first.

message: Since the article has one short section of Ancient Greece, it seems reasonable to focus on contemporary religions and link explicitly to the History of nudity article for everything else. I would like to summarize the content on religion in the main Nudity article by moving much of it here. WriterArtistDC (talk) 19:24, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cleanup and merge of duplicate content 

message: If you would have bother to read the material that is being cited, you would see that the article cited is actually stating the opposite opinion of what was written. I am removing what is a completely opinion based interpretation of the text which is NOT shared by the author of the article, nor by the article itself. For example, here is a direct quote from the article:
“Not Only does the text betray no hint that Bathsheba is to blame for being seen, as others have noted, it also gives no indication that she could have resisted David, given the power imbalance between them.” (Page 61.) 
How about instead of smashing that revert button you actually check the source material. There is nothing in the text of the article, nor the scriptural text being referred to, to indicate that the text is meant to imply the actions of the men are the fault of the women.

Talk:The Truth About Muhammad

message: The second sentence of the second paragraph of the lede states "The critical reception of the book was generally unfavorable, with Spencer being criticized for his selective use of sources, subjective interpretation and anachronistic reading of the historical context" (emphasis added). This phrase seems nonsensical. An "anachronism" is defined as "something or someone that is not in its correct historical or chronological time, especially a thing or person that belongs to an earlier time."https://www.dictionary.com/browse/anachronism In other words, it is something temporally inconsistent with another time. "Historical context" is the larger body of information surrounding events that aid in understanding motives, influences, etc., which shape those events. So it is difficult to see how a writer of a book on history can have an "anachronistic reading" of those surrounding historical events unless they are imposing or imputing motives, influences, etc., which are ahistorical, such as if a historian were to write that one of the causes of the French Revolution was "transphobia" (a phenomenon unknown in 18th century France), or if a film about the Battle of Culloden showed soldiers wearing wristwatches. This is not to suggest that the author is necessarily accurate or even-handed in their account of history, just that the phrase "...anachronistic reading of the historical context" does not stand-up to logical scrutiny and should be either explained or removed.

Talk:Macartney Embassy

replies: text: I assume that you are referring to James Hevia's works, which are by no means universally accepted among historians. I will insert references to these works and remove the POV tag here as well, if you don't mind.--Niohe 23:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems to me the the bulk of this article is tied up with discussion of the Japanese embassy that never took place, instead of the Qing embassy that actually did take place.  Other articles mention popular perceptions that the embassy fails because Macartney did not kowtow; the article doesn't touch on this in any detail.  I'm thinking the Japanese section needs a trim because as it currently stands it seems to be to be undue weight. Slac speak up! 02:18, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: What about the Qing embassy itself?

message: I am rewriting this article to expand on the events of the embassy itself, the background/context leading up to it, and its aftermath and politcal significance. I'll try to address all the issues raised in the above talk page sections over the years. I'll use the British date format since the article is about a UK-centric event and has both the "EngvarB" and "Use dmy dates" tags, but the article will probably need copyediting by another editor if the goal is to keep it consistent with British spelling and grammar conventions (I write in an American style). --Difference engine (talk) 02:19, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Mei Lan

message: While literally "Mei Lan" can be translated as "Beautiful Orchid", the intended meaning is "Atlanta Beauty", after the city of her birth.--User:Tesscass 18:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why did this ever even make it into the article? The "intended meaning" doesn't matter at all. If "intended meaning" mattered, we could change any number of articles. The only things that matters are the literal and technical translations (though, admittedly, there are several), and neither "Mei" nor "Lan" ever translates into "Atlanta" - barring the sudden appearance of four letters. I have no doubt that the name was intentionally misrepresented, because only the basest of idiots would have "accidentally" translated it as such. I'm not sure how that would require any more proof than "the sun will rise from the east," given the massive 'error'. 68.165.8.90 (talk) 15:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The intended meaning is in the article because during the poll, that's the meaning given for "Mei Lan", and it factored into why people voted for it.  Whether it is the correct translation is a different issue.  --Tesscass (talk) 19:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The Translation for "Mei Lan"

message: I was thrilled to see this article on Mei Lan!  However, I'm confused. Mei Lan from the Atlanta Zoo is a female panda and this article references a male panda.  Is this a different panda?
Swlinscott (talk) 14:26, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Atlanta Zoo would disagree with you. Also note in this article "Originally identified by zoo staffers as female, Mei Lan was determined to be male by staff in China at the Chengdu Research Base of Panda Breeding". The confusion was in initial identification, based on which he was given a female name. This panda is also no longer at the Atlanta Zoo, but was returned to China in 2010. I'm guessing that the entire time he was in Atlanta, he was thought to be a she. Don Lammers (talk) 14:43, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: American Association

message: The last paragraph is outdated; the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees dropped Yankees in favor of RailRiders, effective with the 2013 season. (See team website via milb.com) Almost all teams below Class A go by their parent's nickname; of the AAA/AA/A level in the Yankee system, ONLY the Tampa Yankees (High-A) use Yankees. And they were in the retired George Steinbrenner's back yard.
The beginning of that graf is somewhat misleading, although technically accurate: what is stated as being true "at one point" is literally true ONLY of the Richmond Yankees' first season; SEVERAL other Yankee affiliates had non-Yankee nicknames during the rest of the Yankees' tenure in Richmond: the Amarillo Gold Sox, the Shelby Colonels, the Binghamton Triplets, the New Orleans Pelicans and the Birmingham Barons; the latter two were in regular use for decades, Birmingham's for right at 100 years.

Talk:2007 Portuguese abortion referendum

message: I honestly can't find any sources anywhere that state that PS (Portuguese Socialist Party) is a Leftist party *nowadays*. I was under the impression that, despite their name, they were mostly Centrist as they're completely different from the real Portuguese Left parties (Left Bloc, PCP, The Greens). It seemed silly to lump PS together with those three, so I put PS under "Centrist". Since I got reverted, I'm assuming I'm wrong. However, I can't find any reliable, official references to PS's political affiliation. Both the English and Portuguese PS Wikipedia articles make no mention to its political affiliation and I can't find this information anywhere on their site. --Mpontes 13:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
