Talk:James Weldon Johnson Residence

message: Beautiful photo!  Nice way to start the article. doncram 23:39, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The name of the article started as "James Weldon Johnson House" but the building in the photo does not look like a house to me.  It's called James Weldon Johnson Residence, not House, in NHL documents.  I do see that in the NRIS system the NRHP is listed as J W J House.  Not like, say, the Ralph J. Bunche House looks like a house.  Someone could reside there, yes.  Was the whole building his house, like did he own the whole building?  Hmm:  no, the NRHP document says he resided in one of 5 apartments in the building.  And in usage, for example in [[http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1990/3/90.03.09.x.html
:"Famous Afro-Americans Historical Sites Recognized by the National Park System" by Maizie P. Seabrook]], it's listed as Residence.  On balance, I think it should be moved to "James Weldon Johnson Residence".  I'm going to move it now. doncram 23:39, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:55 Wall Street

message: The name is a problem.  Calling it National City Bank Building seems wrong, because it hasn't been a bank in years, and because it was not built to be a bank.  Calling it "Cipriani Wall Street" is commercial hype, and not what it is notable as.  It gets called everyting from the old Merchant's Exchange on Wall Street, to the old U.S. Customs House, to National City Bank Building.  But calling it National City Bank building is sticking with an obsolete name.Elan26 (talk)Elan26

replies: text: Its main claim to notability is that it's on the National Register of Historic Places. With that in mind, it seems best to use the same name that is used on that national register, which is "National City Bank Building." (On the National Park Service website, I also see that it's referred to as "National City Bank.") External links are here  and here .

Talk:Drudge retort

message: Though not as famous as other political websites, the Retort was begun by well known author and web publisher Rogers Cadenhead.  His own long standing entry in Wikipedia (He made international news by registering a domain name sought after by the Vatican and by disclosing relatively controversial information about the founder of wikipedia) affirms the importance of this political website, the Drudge Retort.  
More importantly, the Drudge Retort's nine year continued presence in cyberspace makes it virtually an old and venerable site in the history of the internet, especially among political blogs.  Its importance continues to grow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.7.241.99 (talk)

*Information on research should be expanded and references required
*References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format

thread_title: Youtube

message: The Italian text is taken from Score and libretto at Indiana University. This source does not include the last line "Si può morir! Si può morir d'amor", which is however heard in most performances of the romanza.
The English translation is somewhat unsatisfactory with regard to punctuation and shows an incorrect rendering of such Italian words as "sì"="yes" and the impersonal pronoun "si"="one". It certainly needs emendation where the original has been completely misunderstood. The lines "Un solo istante i palpiti / del suo bel cor sentir! / I miei sospir confondere / per poco a' suoi sospir!" express Nemorino’s wish, not something he has just experienced (the infinitive "sentir" misunderstood as "sentii", 1st pers. sing. pt. indic.).

message: A number of mediation venues are available. Please remember that formal mediation is always confidential and choosing a "public" venue provides no exception.
#On-wiki. We could simply discuss the subject here. It provides a convenient location and can be placed on your normal Wikipedia watchlist. As a downside, there is a potential for previously uninvolved parties to comment on and possibly disrupt the mediation.
#MedCom wiki. There is an off-site and private wiki run by a MedCom member. It provides a private location with a standard wiki environment. On the downside, it is another location which must be checked regularly. 
#IRC. IRC allows for real-time discussion of the issues, and can be used alone or as a compliment to other forms of mediation. On the downside, scheduling can be difficult and sometimes people say potentially hurtful things in the heat of the moment. 
Please indicate below which venue you would prefer.

Talk:Republic of Yucatán

message: In reading the section of this article marked Texas Case, much of the information contained there in is factually incorrect. I would like to see it marked as disputed until such time as either myself or others can provide corrected information with reference citations. In particular, the information concerning the reason that Texas finally broke with Mexico is false. This labels all people who were LEGITIMATE citizens of Mexico and engaged in an aggrived state with Santa Anna's breaking of the 1824 Constitution as Anglo Fillabusters seeking to expand the United States. This is false. There were many people of both Mexican and Anglo ancestry who had no desire to join the United States, they simply wanted their constitution honored in the spirit of the Grito de Delores. Juan Seguin was one of such person.Chilipequin (talk) 01:20, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately there appears to be a concerted effort to either rewrite history (even on Wikipedia) to reflect either the Texas point of view, or the Mexican point of view, omitting inconvenient facts that the Republic of Texas and Republic of Yucatán were not the only Mexican states to attempt to secede from Mexico (although they were the only ones to successfully break away, even if their independence only lasted less than 10 years), and downplaying the real causes related to the Mexican states seceding.  I have also noticed that any reference to which states revolted against Santa Anna are promptly removed from Wikipedia, like someone doesn't want anyone to know that much of Mexico was in open rebellion against Santa Anna and demanded the restoration of the Mexican Constitution of 1824, including Texas and Yucatán during their initial stages of their rebellion, which later turned into a bid for independence.  The Wikipedia pages from the Republic of Yucatán, the Republic of Texas and other similar pages are constantly rewritten to omit inconvenient facts that are inconsistent with the official line or society's current understanding of history based on the official line they were taught in school. It doesn't matter if information is verifiable if verifiable inconvenient facts are constantly deleted.  Omitting verifiable inconvenient facts taints history just as much as adding false facts. --71.22.104.128 (talk) 13:49, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Talk 

message: I am a close friend and was the real-life roommate of the person who played the characters of Mystere and Vhasst at the time this incident occurred.  I can vouch for everything he stated in his comment here and for his character and decency outside of the gaming world.  Not only was the "Mystere incident" terrible and disturbing, Verant in general and John Smedly in particular handled it extremely poorly.  Had I not witnessed this unfolding before us with my very own eyes, I would never have believed it possible.  Mystere's player was deeply hurt by this, the more especially since he and I had both considered Sensi Jadeleaf an in-game friend.
The role-playing stories Mystere's player had written on IGN were no more graphic, no more sexual and no more intense in their content than many published novels and short stories (see, especially, the Nancy Collins "Sonja Blue" novels which were a strong influence on Mystere's writing and role-play at the time).  There was nothing in their content that would have negatively affected Verant's reputation in the slightest.  The allegation of Mystere's seeking out inappropriate contact with a child was laughable.  Verant should have directed Sensi Jadeleaf to make his accusations to the police if he truly felt he or his brother were in any danger, rather than taking unilateral action to ban Mystere from their game and Smedly making public comments in his blog defaming Mystere's morals and ethics.--Tesarra (talk) 01:14, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
