message: This page was created so that people learning about Unitarian Universalism could find out more about this Unitarian Universalist organization. I (the poster) have looked at the Wikipedia entries for comparable organizations, and found them to be similar in content, length, and style. 
Promise the Children is a legitimate entity with 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. The organization just changed its name and website URL, which may be why the site is low on the rankings. This posting adds to the information available on Wikipedia about Unitarian Universalism organizations and should not be deleted.

We have also discussed our desire to post a link to Harry Helmsley's Last Will and Testament with Wikipedia administrators [See User talk:Livingtrust], either under "references" or "external links." Last Will and Testament of Harry Helmsley. Wikipedia does not object to the link but has requested that we not put the link up ourselves since we are a commercial website. Instead, it has requested that we make it known that the Last Will and Testament is available, and anyone who wishes to add the link to the "reference" section or the "external links" section may do so.

Talk:Tomás Estrada Palma

message: The below quote is seriously misleading, and is cited with a total crap source that is more unreliable than wiki itself!
"U.S. troops were not needed to put down the Liberal revolt, since the military leaders of the successful revolt [2]"
first of all - it was not a liberal revolt - tomas estrada palma was a liberal. Louis A. Perez Jr characterizes the revolt as undertaken by moderates in opposition to Palma and the liberal camp. Second of all - the US DID intervene in 1906 to overthrow the moderate government, and placed Palma's camp back in power (although not under his leadership)- 
there was an "election" in 1908 under US supervision in which the libs were back in power
this info comes from perez' book "the US and Cuba: ties of singular intimacy" page 154

I have removed "He became Cuba's first elected president, but later resigned." as that duplicated other comments.

U.S. troops were not needed put down the Liberal revolt, since the military leaders of the successful revolt, negotiated nominally with William H. Taft and Robert Bacon  but in reality with U.S. General Frederick Funston who had also been at Mambi, took their "borrowed" horses and went home." unclear - what is it saying ?

:I agree, if anyone from Yorktown can check Mohansic Avenue (east of the Taconic) and/or Baldwin Road (east of its junction with Mohansic) for reference markers, that'd be great. The route existed into the 1970s, so it did have reference markers at some point (as they were first installed statewide in the late 1960s). Whether or not any remain to this day is unknown, but it is possible. – TMF 04:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Farm Podcasting

message: Just about any specific form of anything disagrees with the generalized basic idea of something.  As an example, an article on an FM radio station and an article on an AM radio station with the same call letters, in the same town, under the same ownership, could and I think should be merged into a single article provided length is not a consideration.  Also, it might be easier for people looking for an article if it were found, or at least referenced, in a less specific article.  The questions here are, I believe, whether people would seek out this information under this specific name, whether the inclusion of this data into the "podcasting" page would make that page indefensibly long, and whether merging the data, if indicated, would be problematic.  Personally, I can see no reason to think that any of those situations apply here.  If I were to be given speicific, clear reasons for any of the justifications cited above, however, I might change my mind.  Badbilltucker 21:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Chicane

message: The article indicates that a chicane is "usually an S-shape curve or a bus stop". What precisely is a bus stop chicane? The most famous one I know of is at Spa-Francorchamps. I had always just assumed that there had once been an actual bus stop at that chicane, since Spa runs (ran?) on public roads. I guessed that other "bus stop chicanes" were named either in honour of the Belgian one or due to their similarity to it. Can anyone shed more light on this? Pburka 03:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: But non-racing bike chicanes are covered with pedestrian chicanes in Chicane (barrier).  Seems to me, this just points out that the separate articles make no sense.  One article with sections can give better understanding for all chicanes made to discourage speed, no matter whose speed, or why the engineers of chicanery desire slowness.

thread_title:  Bicycle racing too 

message: In Dutch and German, the word "chicane" (Schikane in German) is primarily used for abuse of rights. I wonder whether that is not the case in English. Rbakels (talk) 21:32, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other languages 

message: The word chicane was used in the first verse of the Electric Light Orchestra song, Can't Get it Out of My Head, from their Eldorado album. The context was a reference to a creature of the ocean walking along the wave's chicane. IMHO, it's one of the most unusual words used in pop music lyrics, perhaps second only to Steve Miller's use of the word pompatus in the song The Joker by the Steve Miller Band.

Talk:Kismet (robot)

message: I removed this paragraph from the article:
:As technology has developed, the need for human-machine interaction has grown, and with that growth, the need arises for machines to become user friendly. For intense human-machine interactions, humanoid robots can alleviate the inherent difficulties in human-machine understanding. Anthropomorphic robots that include facial expressions, voice inflections, body posture and gestures support the modes of communication that humans use, and this diminishes the human-machine complexities that exist between us.  One robot being developed to facilitate this principle is Kismet.
It seemed very inappropriate for the topic and it was the very first paragraph — possibly it was copied from an essay? I think I'll go and Copyscape check it after I save this message. — JeremyTalk 03:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Metadata registry

message: Ummmm... you're presenting the CONCEPT of metadata registries as if they exist & are in active use.  In the 1970s & 1980s the industry term for this sort of work would have been under the umbrella of "data dictionary."  With IBM's late 1980s AD/Cycle effort, "data dictionary" morphed to "metadata repository."
While many organizations have made concerted efforts to implement the dream of an "enterprise data dictionary/metadata repository" exceedingly few have succeeded.
So I think it a tad misleading to discuss "metadata registry" as if it were real (meaning in actual used by systems analysts, developers & operations).  DEddy 03:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article uses the word "parents" inconsistently and confusingly. In places it seems to use the word "parents" alone in contrast with adoptive parents implying that "parents" means biological parents. This is somewhat insulting and definitely confusing.

I propose that the word "parents" only be used preceded by "adoptive" or "biological". I would make this change myself but the lack of references makes it difficult to tell what is meant in places in the article. Leopd (talk) 03:36, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
