Talk:2nd Scottish Parliament

replies: text: There were three Independents elected in 2003: Dennis Canavan in Falkirk, Margo MacDonald in Lothians, and Jean Turner in Strathkelvin. Campbell Martin was later expelled from the SNP, increasing the Ind MSPs to four. Should the P.O. be considered an Ind? I don't know, but I think I read on the Parliament's website that he is an indy only when he's in the chair. So it's unclear. - Hoshie/Crat 22:22, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Taylor County, Georgia

message: I have replaced the section that was deleted.  A bit of history may be useful to understand why:
* There was a separate Whites only prom article, which covered this May 2003 story.  I recommended that article for deletion (see ); a single prom didn't seem to justify such a broad title.
* Someone suggested that the story was still worthy of being in wikipedia.  I agreed, and moved it to the Taylor County article, because Taylor County is small (8,000 folks) and this was national news.  (Also, the topic seems something likely not to be forgotten for a while in that county.)
* When I moved the article, I EDITED IT SIGNIFICANTLY.  I cut back on some things, and reworded.  And I checked the orginal citations and used them to modify the article (and may have even added one; not sure).  
* In the discussion of the Whites only prom article, someone said that it was a copyright violation.  That may well have been; I'm not going back to check.  If it was, it was because it quoted extensively from one of the sources used for that article.
* The assumption was made by someone that since the original article was a copyright violation, so too was the material that was moved to the Taylor County page.  That's a reasonable assumption except that it isn't true of what was actually on the Taylor County page.
* What was left (and what I put back) is, I believe, NOT a copyright violation.  The material comes from all three sources listed; nor is it word-for-word except for two quotations.
* To the extent there IS still a copyright violation, I strongly suggest putting a tag on the section, not deleting it.  And of course it would be appreciated if some detail could be posted here about the possible violation.

Talk:Thomas Sheraton

message: The article states that no pieces are known which can definitely be attributed to Sheraton, but according to the 1911 Britannica: "Of his own actual manufacture only one piece is known with certainty — a glass-fronted book-case, of somewhat frigid charm, stamped 'T.S.' on the inside of one of the drawers."
So is there one piece known to be by him or has the origin of that bookcase since been questioned?

message: "...but whether this group should be considered a family of the Falconiformes or one or several order(s) on their own is a matter of taste..."
The AOU has recently highlighted a DNA-backed change in their accepted taxonomy which places Falconidae between parrots/passerines and seriemas, very far from Accipitridae. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs)  20:49, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: "A matter of taste"

message: "The Accipitridae, one of the two major families within the order Accipitriformes (the diurnal birds of prey), ..."
This is plainly not true.  It looks like someone has just replaced "Falconiformes" with "Acciptriformes" and not considered the effect on the meaning of the sentence. 
I'm assuming that "two major families" refers to Falconidae and Accipitridae.  Obviously the Falconiformes are not members of Acciptriformes, and Acciptriformes is not synonymous with "diurnal birds of prey". (Unless you're trying to say that the acciptrids are paraphyletic to falcons ... but Falconidae is still the nominate sub-taxon?) 
Ok, research in molecular genetics is going to cause revisions and controversy in classification, but we need to be careful when making wholesale replacements of one term with another non-equivalent term! 
I'm going to try to reword that to recover its original meaning; I hope I don't put anyone's nose out of joint.

thread_title:  Weird opening sentence? 

message: Hi,
There seems to be some internal inconsistencies surrounding the subfamilies of Polyboroides and Geranospiza. Different pages on here and different external sources put Geranospiza in either Circinae, Accipitrinae or Buteoninae. Polyboroides seems to be in either Gypaetinae, Circinae, or its own subfamily, Polyboroidinae.
On further inspection there's much more internal inconsistency than that above so I'll probably defer.

Talk:Koyaanisqatsi

message: In the Distribution section, the company 'New Cinema' links to the page for No Wave Cinema, which is a genre/movement and not a distribution company. Additionally, I can't find anything online about a distribution company with that name, and searching for it on Wikipedia only gives the No Wave Cinema page (which seems correct as they're interchangeable terms).

I'm pretty sure I added it to the infobox (just the name, not the link) and you can find it mentioned if you Google 'New Cinema' and 'Koyaanisqatsi' or 'New Cinema Enterprises'.

:I see. -- Taku 01:19 May 4, 2003 (UTC)
:I am not so sure what Alex said is true.  I can't say for sure, but I think property division applies only to divorce.  In the sense of property division, however, the termination of all these bonds (marriage, civil unions, etc.) may be considered divorce (or seen as divorce).  I am 100% sure on this.  Stiles 05:06, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm pretty sure that 'division' and 'equitable distribution' can also relate directly to how estates are dealt with upon a death, in regards to heirs and legal wills & such, at least in some legal systems. I believe that the term can also be applied to what happens when a corporation shuts down and multiple debtors have claims to a small pool of capital assets. So, I could see an argument for sections of the article reflecting how the term applies to differing situations. I think we're in need of an expert here to lay out the differing applicable meanings. 65.112.197.16 19:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  In Virginia equitable distribution means only one thing, and that is the division of a marital estate upon divorce. There is no legal phrase "division of property" but in any other context, a court's adjudication would be in a suit to partition.

This is one of the terms in Yoga and Hinduism that have been widely used in English for many years, and can be found in the major English dictionaries (such as Oxford, Merriam-Webster). When a term is widely used in English, it is no longer "foreign" whatever its etymology, and should not be marked up in italics: the MoS policy on foreign words does not apply to terms adopted into English.
