Talk:Johnnie Cochran

message: I realize a section on Cochran's Family might be a bit complicated, but should there be one? I came to WP just ow to find out whether he had a son with only one woman, or with two, and the son(s)' name(s).

message: this page is neither intended to be spam nor advertisement. I personally do not sell any images online. this job is done through picture stock agencies, as I am a photographer working for news papers, press and stock agencies only.
I am a well known photographer from Germany and the image in question (composing of a tree in the 4 seasons) is worldwide known from calendars, books, covers, cds, postcards. The photo was created about 10 yrs ago and this image will write history in photography in one way or the other. the tree in the image does not exist any longer as it was strucked by lightning and it was and is an 800 yrs old protected tree in Bavaria.

Talk:Sexual problem

message: Lack of a sexual partner isn't exactly a sexual problem. It's either shyness, ugliness, lousy personality, or a more general psychological problem like social phobia or love-shyness. It seems to me different on some fundamental level from, e.g., being unable to get it up.
Of course, that may just be a manifestation of the attitude that perpetuates the stigma of mental illness. --Calieber 18:21, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Talk:Centre Party (Germany)

message: I like the article as now constituted but it suffers from over-linking.  One link per section is plenty, certainly not every paragraph within a section or within the same paragraph, which gets very distracting.  Rlquall 00:05, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Well-written and basically neutral article 

message: I think not. Large swaths of text lifted directly from the Catholic Encyclopedia. Article needs to be continually vetted for POV and tone. 216.194.3.77 12:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Well-written and basically neutral article"??

message: Two suggestions.
First, someone should create a redirect called Center Party (Germany) that redirects here, for the benefit of American readers.
Second, the Centre Party played a key role in the development of labor laws (child labor, social security, maximum number of hours worked per week, etc.) in the 1880s and 1890s (beginning even before Bismarck's death).  This is mentioned in only one brief sentence in a very long article.  This article does an admirable job of describing the CP's political history, but its actual accomplishments should be included.  (With neutral POV, of course; to libertarians it is not an "accomplishment" to pass a child labor law.)  These laws influenced the American New Deal and also the development of Catholic social teaching, and are thus very noteworthy.  — Lawrence King (talk) 21:16, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Centre Party and social progress 

message: Although it may be unintentional, this section reads as an attempt at whitewashing and excuse making.  Bottom line is that the Centre Party voted UNANIMOUSLY in favor of the Enabling Act, which gave Hitler dictatorial powers.  That is the most important piece of information, and should be in the first sentence of the section, not buried at the end of multiple paragraphs of excuses.  It was not impossible to vote against the act, as the Socialist party voted unanimously against it.  Also, it is misleading to say that the Socialist party was the only one to speak out against the legislation.  The Communist party also opposed it, but were not allowed to speak since it had been outlawed by the Nazis.  
Another interesting observation is that the word "Jew" does not appear once in this article.  How is that even possible in such a long article dealing with a religiously-based political party operating during a time when the "Jewish question" was so prominent in German politics?

Talk:11 (number)

message: I think that the base 10 divisibility test for 11 is worth mentioning here, so I added it, but I wonder if my explanation of it is simple and easy to understand. If anyone here can explain it better, I encourage them to edit the divisibility paragraph. PrimeFan 21:41, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Divisibility Test 

message: I don't see any mention of the idea, to rename the word eleven into Ten-one.
For example twenty one, does not have it's own name but rather is named after it's ten place followed by the one's place.
To further illustrate how it should follow.
Thirty one, thirty two, thirty three, thirty four...
Twenty one, Twenty two, Twenty three, Twenty four..
Ten one, Ten two, Ten three, ten four...
Why you ask?  to keep the wording consistent and make counting for young children easier.  Thus they can advance in mathematics quicker, adding into that the concept of compound interest in learning.  Small changes in the beginning make a huge difference.
Naming ten one, as eleven actually makes it unnecessarily difficult for young children as it doesn't need to be.
As adults we forget this as we've already passed through, the unnecessary difficulty.
Lowering the difficulty by renaming the number will help increase the number of kids that enjoy math.

His assertion, therefore, should be treated as such and either balanced or replaced with one which does not have such inherent bias against Bryant and her views.

thread_title:  Edits to "Economy" Section 

message: Have we any sources or style manuals that dictate whether this city's name should use an en dash versus a hyphen? This has been mentioned variously in this talk page's archive (), but its technical appropriateness hasn't been directly addressed on its own. 
Note: 
* Cities that use en dashes: Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Tampa–St Petersburg–Clearwater, others? Does it matter that their pre-combination names include spaces? 
* Cities that use hyphens: Any other than this one? 
* En dash is used for relationships/connections (En dash: Usage: Relationships and connections).
* Hyphen is used in forenames and surnames (Hyphen: Use in English: Joining: Personal names).
From other cities, and from the denotative purposes of the two marks, I'd think an en dash would be more appropriate? Or if the city has always and only used a hyphen, do we honor their choice? A145GI15I95 (talk) 00:43, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Those other cases are multiple cities considered as a group. Winston-Salem is the single city that formed as a merger of the previous two towns, Winston and Salem. That is, "Minneapolis–Saint Paul" is not a discrete thing, "Winston-Salem" is. "Winston" and "Salem" no longer exist separately, "Minneapolis" and "Saint Paul" do. --Khajidha (talk) 15:19, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

As a member of the general public I've always assumed this is a fact, and am surprised to find doubt cast on it here.

thread_title:  History 

message: It is described here that the appendix is ​​no longer considered a vestigial organ due to the functions found. I think that this is not conclusive because vestigial organs do not result from the fact that they have no function. Vestigial organs are defined on their own Wikipedia page as characteristics that:
"... have lost all or most of their original function through evolution. Although structures called vestigial often appear functionless, a vestigial structure may retain lesser functions or develop minor new ones."
I think the connection made between appendix and vestigial organs is therefore wrong, because vestigial organs can have function and still remain vestigial. 62.167.160.209 (talk) 07:33, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
