Talk:Terrorism

message: To me, this is a no-brainer, but given the scope of the edit I thought it best to just gauge opinions. It seems the "Historical background" and "History" sections cover essentially the same information, so I propose we incorporate all the information in the "History" section into the "Historical background" section, retaining the latter subheading.

thread_title:  Combining "Historical background" and "History" section 

message: Someone requested an example for the line:
"Most scholars[example needed] today trace the origins of the modern tactic of terrorism to the Jewish Sicarii Zealots who attacked Romans and Jews in 1st-century Palestine."
I can find mentions of this in the book "The History of Terrorism: From Antiquity to Al Qaeda" by G Chaliand, A Blin. This particular source seems to have a lot of credibility, and has also been widely cited, but I'm not sure about "most scholars". However, if only a particular example was required, then perhaps we should add a citation?

message: The Algerian revolution was one of the first cases of the use of the term terrorism to justify the actions taken by the French military, to directly quote the article on the Algerian war "the mission of the French Army was "ensuring security", "maintaining order" and "pacification" (...) The FLN were referred to as "criminals", "bandits", "outlaws", "terrorists" and "fellagha"." The mention in this article as terrorism only being widely used after the 70s is highly misleading for this reason. I feel like this merits at least more than a passing mention.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Chlois Theory

message: I agree that the article should be edited.  To be fair, the article should also include all evidence presented by the theory's detractors, as well.  However, the theory has enough adequate support to merit its own article.  
The fact that some disagree with the theory should not mean it is invalid as a hypothesis.  Otherwise, we'd have to delete every article on why people believe in the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot, The Anastasia theory, etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.119.63.137 (talk • contribs) 15:03, 2 September 2006.
:Those theories are notable outside of a small subset of people, and are apart of Western culture. Chlois Theory is not, and the creator of the show has publicly discounted it. Furthermore, Chlois Theory is speculative by nature, and according to WP:NOT, "Articles that present extrapolation, speculation, and 'future history' are original research and therefore inappropriate." All three theories you listed are not speculative, as they make no predictions about what will happen in the future and they don't exist to prop up support of the theories. The comparisons aren't apt. - Debuskjt 16:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And just for the record, as a fan of the show I want the Chlois Theory to be real, but that doesn't mean I can't realize it isn't appropriate content for a Wikipedia article per its guidelines/policies on WP:NOTABLE, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and WP:NOT. - Debuskjt 16:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Talk:United States Constabulary

message: I've been trying to have a go at copyediting this article, but can't really find a place to sink my teeth. To my mind probably the easist way to create an article inline with Wikipedia policies  would be to revert back to the raw copy from the official history and transwiki this to Wikisource and start afresh, and citing the official history as a source rather than trying to incoporate it into the article itself.KTo288 21:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

There are large chunks of this article that are word for word from that manuscript.  Can anyone confirm that this article is not protected in any way, shape, or form by any sort of copyright.  Government works obviously are not protected by copyright; however, that does not mean that the government cannot acquire and enforce copyrights on things that it doesn't create.

Talk:Moves in the field

message: I've removed this entire section from the article as being problematic for two reasons.  The first problem is that it reflects an excessively US-centric point of view.  Furthermore, the deleted material with the list of elements on each test level is likely only of interest to US participant skaters, and such people would be far better off consulting a USFSA rulebook (all USFSA skaters get one as part of their membership) than Wikipedia.  In addition to doubts about whether such detailed rulebook material is considered encyclopedic in the first place, the USFSA does change the elements from time to time and anything on Wikipedia is guaranteed to be less accurate than the official source of information and cannot become a substitute for the rulebook; so why should we even try?

Talk:País LLïonés

message: - I don't think the two articles should be merged.

thread_title: Map

message: - This is the kind of article that boosts doubts on prestige of Wikipedia and makes us question its very principles. Just because two guys that nobody knows in León itself want to spread some of their mental diarrhoea, the rest of the world has to stand it! How can it be put in parallel with cases such as Kosovo? Why not create a category "Improbable imaginary toy countries"?
- This article shouldn't be deleted, the above is just your personal opinion, there are many degrees of not fully sovereign nations, and many discrepancies as to which groups are nations, and it is withing the context of Wikipedia's mission to acknowledge them all as long as they are substantiated. This article, albeit a stub, is rigorous and proper as the concept of an independent Leonese country exists, is supported by a very small but sizeable sector of the Leonese people, and has historical roots.

Talk:Hulusi

message: Why are we using italics for the name hulusi? I think we should remove them, as it's the name of the instrument. No need to foreignize it.--Sonjaaa 15:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Foreign words that have not become part of English are italicized.  Badagnani 17:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

text: The rule usually is that if a word appears in normal English dictionaries it's become part of English.  Some foreign instruments that might be found in English dictionaries would be "sitar," "djembe," "shakuhachi," or "taiko," as they're widely played in English-speaking countries.  But hulusi is not widely known in English-speaking countries and has definitely not become an English word.  Even the dizi isn't well known in North America outside Chinese music circles, and the bawu is probably better known than the hulusi.  Badagnani 04:17, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The contents of this page have never risen above the level of a mere dictionary definition, something which Wikipedia is not.  The page at its fullest had the definition, origins and usage of the phrase.  All that content has already been moved to Wiktionary.  The deletion discussion shows community ambivalence to this page.  The edit history shows that the page has been largely unmaintained and had unreverted vandalism for a significant period of time.  
Until someone actually has something encyclopedic to say on this topic or until the policy against mere dictionary entries is reversed, readers are better off with a redirect to Wiktionary (where editors have the proper tools and processes to ensure that dictionary entries are well written and maintained) than with a duplicated and lower quality entry in Wikipedia.
