Talk:Right Opposition

message: ----
This is a bad enbtry at the present. it jumps about from country to country and pays little attention to chronology. basic facts are incorrect too. Thus the ILLA dissolved in 1941 not 1940. And the BOC was not in the ICO just as  MN Roy wasn't either. Basically anyone contributing any more to this needs to read Alexanders bok first and then draft out a structure for the entry until then.....

message: I removed Dale Fushek from the "Criminals" section, since he's only been indicted and hasn't been tried.  Listing him as a criminal could be considered WP:libel.  I also removed Tim Wilson, since the person linked to is not a priest or convicted criminal. 
John Geoghan is a more interesting question, since technically his conviction was overturned.  Erring on the side of only label people convicted as criminals, I removed him as well, but this is probably a matter for wider discussion. -- Kaszeta 03:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of Criminals 

message: "This is an annotated list of men primarily known for their work as Catholic priests. Catholic priests who are mostly known for their non-priestly work should be placed on other lists. Further men known for being bishops, archbishops, and other positions above the priesthood should be placed elsewhere. This is to avoid redundancy with the List of cardinals, List of popes, etc."
*Please note the following:
**Being a Catholic priest is not simply a job.  The Catholic priest is ordained as a priest through the sacrament of Holy Orders.  So being a priest is more than just doing some priestly work, but there is an ontological change.  The man is an ordained priest.
**Newsflash, bishops, archbishops, popes, cardinals, etc. are all priests.  They are not in positions "above" the priesthood.  They have received the episcopal ordination and the fullness of the priesthood... but they are still priests.  Breaking News: Pope Benedict XVI is still a priest even though he is Pope.

Talk:Upstate New York

message: You reverted my edit changing "State" to lower case (or perhaps it just got caught up, citing talk discussion that I am unable to find. This is clearly incorrect: the name of the state is "New York", not "New York State", so "state" is not part of the name and should therefore not be capitalized.
On a slightly related note, MOS:COMPASS would seem to advise that we not capitalize "upstate", either, as most sources I've seen do not do so.  talk 04:19, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The capitalization "New York State" is by far the more common usage. The name of the city is also "New York", but we capitalize "New York City" as well, not "New York city". And "upstate" isn't the name of a compass direction, so MOS:COMPASS doesn't necessarily imply, but in my experience sources seem to be pretty divided on capitalizing "Upstate". AJD (talk) 04:47, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   Sorry - it was unintended collateral damage while trying to handle the problematic edits that came afterward from the IP user.  That said, I am in agreement with AJD - "New York State" is the more common capitalization (even the state government uses it officially, and NYS has long been shorthand used in the state), and the capitalization of upstate seems ambiguous at best across all sorts of texts. Personally, I think it would be good to stick to "New York State", and to try to reach some sort of consensus on the capitalization of upstate and downstate throughout the article.

Talk:US Abuse of UN veto

message: Much as I agree with the sentiment of the article, it is hopelessly POV, starting with the title. --Tagishsimon
I agree. To be neutral, the article should discuss the US's use (both good and bad) of its veto power since the formation of the UN. In any case, does this topic deserve an article of its own? I don't really think so - it could probably go into the UN article Enochlau 09:21, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: POV

message: Why not keep the article? 
After all, this is 2004 and American politics affects the entire world; will it be Bush or Kerry?
Afghanistan, Iraq, France, Germany, Spain, Britain, the UN all feel the actions and decisions of the US in their own backyard.
Furthermore, when the US grants special nation status to a country or creates a free trade zone with one, thats politics of rewarding "friends" but it also affects the economy of that country, and its neighbours in the region.
Similarly, when the US uses its veto power, its telling all the peoples of the world "this subject is dear to our heart for whatever political or economic reasons and we want to protect our interests in this subject via a veto" and that sends political and economic and human rights repercussions vibrating throughout the region.
so i feel this is a major subject that should be explored more and of course moderated by the editors to be as fair as possible. i tried to keep it fair but the only way was to keep it short and simple.
thanks

message: The article should continue referencing the topic as K-Waves, or Kondratiev Waves. Instead Long-Waves becomes used.
Apart from the first sentence, it is unclear whether Kondratiev Waves and Long-Waves are the same thing, or if Long-Waves are a sub-topic within the main topic/thesis that is Kondratiev Waves.
Example of significance: 
- Narrator                     : "Criticism of Long-Waves:"
- Observer's internal monologue: "Oh, there's no criticism section of Kondratiev Waves, only his thesis sub-topic that is 'Long-waves'... Everything but long waves is uncontested."
