Talk:List of islands of China

message: The naming discussion has just closed and already there's an edit war on how to phrase the first line.  I think it should be called the People's Republic of China in the first line for clarity.  I don't think mentioning China separately is necessary, as it is already in "People's Republic of China" and the article's title, but I'm not opposed to it either.  How about "This is a list of islands governed or claimed by the People's Republic of China.  For islands governed or claimed by the Republic of China, see List of islands of Taiwan." --Wikimedes (talk) 21:26, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I am fine either way, but using "China", unadorned and alone, begs for the inclusion of ROC-controlled islands; otherwise it is an unequivocal attempt to push the nefarious 'Taiwan is not part of China' POV. As it is, however, I agree that we should use the full name. GotR Talk 22:16, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of your reply appears to be a rant accusing someone of POV pushing, so it's unclear to me exactly what you are agreeing to and why.  Could you rephrase and leave out the button-pushing histrionics?--Wikimedes (talk) 00:07, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: More tersely: as it is, we must use the full name; before abbreviating to "China", we must include ROC-controlled islands. I don't see what is murky about my first post. And "Most of"? Out of three, only one is a generic accusation, not directed at a specific editor, but at a group of editors who exhibit such behaviour. GotR Talk 00:41, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

text: WP:UCN pertains to article titles, not article text. In article text we can afford to be more descriptive than in article titles. "This is a list of islands of China" is ambiguous because it is not clear whether the "China" here includes Taiwan - that is a matter of political dispute and we would be violating NPOV by excluding Taiwan et al from this list and implying that Taiwan is not part of "China". By describing the list as islands administered by the PRC, we are able to conveniently skirt the issue.--Jiang (talk) 12:15, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the article includes a section on islands claimed but not administered by the PRC, so the first line should mention "claimed" as well.  Although I'm not part of the "any single sentence that can be remotely construed to imply that Taiwan is not a part of the PRC is pushing a nefarious POV and must be extirpated from Wikipedia" crowd, it's generally good to mention official names once in an article and it is worth mentioning which China we are talking about for the few readers who might wonder.--Wikimedes (talk) 14:14, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Category talk:Rock operas

message: :The line between rock operas and musicals written by pop bands seems a bit dimmed in this category list. I would never call "Chess" or "Une Nuit A Paris" rock operas, though Chess is (classical) opera in a sense - it's through-composed, there is really no dialogue that's not set to music, unlike most musicals which have a good deal of spoken dialogue. And neither Chess nor UNAP are rock by any stretch of the term, they are firmly pop (Une Nuit A Paris is a sort of pop collage). Is Jon Anderson's "Olias of Sunhillow" a rock opera too? No, although Yes are a rock band: most of Olias isn't rock music at all and there has never been any attempt to stage it. /Strausszek (talk) 20:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Wikipedia:Red link, usually a red link is seen as an invitation to write an article. And WP:NAV states: Red links and redirects should normally be avoided unless they are very likely to be developed into articles.  Red links can be retained in navigation templates that represent a well-defined and complete set of data (geographic divisions, annual events, filmographies, etc.), where deleting red links would leave an incomplete and misleading result.  Even then, editors are encouraged to write the article first. So, there was no valid reason to remove the red links. Repeatedly removing valid links is called vandalism.

* Is She His Wife? Or, Something Singular! - Either another comic burletta or a one-act farce (the book I have calls it both), first written in 1837
* Mr Nightingale's Diary - One act farce written in 1851 by Dickens and Mark Lemon for a Royal Performance at the Duke of Devonshire's London home for Queen Victoria and Albert, Prince Consort on May 27, 1851. Both authors also acted in the play along with Wilkie Collins.

Talk:Paul Ariste

message: Colchicum reverted my edit regarding Ariste's birthplace, based on a confusion regarding what is 'Estonia'.
Unqualified 'Estonia' generally refers to Estonia, which roughly overlaps the dwelling place of Estonians over a number of centuries.  Before 1920, this territory was governed by a number of external rulers, and divided in various ways; most recently into the Revel Governorate and the Riga Governorate in Russian Empire.  However, this administrative division had little effect to the people in question, and it constitutes WP:UNDUE -- thus contributing to misleading -- to claim administrative territoriteries rather than the geographic region as historic people's birthplaces.  The question, of course, would be fuzzier if there were any lingering border disputes between Estonia and Latvia, but that is not the case; the consensus from both sides of the border is clear that the governorate border was insignificant for any geopolitical purposes.

message: Usually the opening sentence will define the subject.  This just gives a long list of alternative names and says it is "an educational philosophy."  That is uninformative.

I came to this article to learn what place-based education was, and after reading this I still have no clue.  
Here is my stab at an opening sentence. Maybe someone that knows more on this topic can improve it.
Place-based education is an education philosophy that encourages learning from the culture and environment of the students' local community.
