Talk:Paul DePodesta

message: "Fans and media critics took both sides of the issue: some thought it was a bad move to include an opt-out clause, given Drew's run production, and others thought it was wise, given Drew's history of injuries and attitude problems."
1) The assertion is not supported with any references.  2) The opt-out clause was a one-way clause <per Cot's baseball contracts>.  Obviously anyone who would think that giving an opt-out to a player with "injuries and attitude problems" is ignorant of the fact that DePodesta had no control of the player opting out.  I.e. the player would only consider opting out if he had had a successful run with the Dodgers.  The Dodgers took the whole five-year risk.  Thus, since the player controlled the opt-out, the team lost the value it had when Drew opted out (three years left on a contract at $33 million vs the 5 years at $70 million that he subsequently signed as a free agent with the Boston Red Sox).  Simply put, without the opt-out clause in the contract, Drew could have been traded by the Dodgers to the Boston Red Sox for whatever the $9 million through three years difference (and $37 million overall) was worth to the Red Sox.         — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.157.223 (talk) 16:57, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Views on lesbian porn

message: I have moved material on pornography here from the lesbian article.  It is a separate topic, and (in addition to ongoing edit wars) there are serious, unresolved questions as to what the proper treatment of contemporary and historical pornography is for Wikipedia.  In particular, there is ongoing controversy regarding the use of pornographic images to illustrate such articles.  I am of two minds about this, and it is not my fight.
However, it is abundantly clear to me that such material does not belong in articles such as lesbian because it violates the Wikipedia:Principle of least astonishment.  Moreover, it may limit the readership of the lesbian article by people who either find sexually explicit imagery objectionable themselves or who may be viewing or editing the article in an environment where such imagery may be awkward if viewed by others.
Accordingly, I leave the content here, where others may continue the debate over what images, if any, to include.

Talk:Michel Micombero

message: Compare and contrast:
:"On October 18, 1965, Hutu leader Gervais Nyangoma launched a coup, ousting the king. Soon afterward the largely Hutu police force, under the control of Antoine Serkwavu, began to massacre Tutsis in some parts of the country.
:Michel Micombero was a young Tutsi army captain who had been born in Rutovu. In 1965 he had only recently returned from school in Belgium and had quickly risen to become Secretary of Defence. He rallied the army, and its largely Tutsi officers, against the coup and overthrew them." [Wikipedia]
--
:"1965 - King Mwambutsa refuses to appoint a Hutu prime minister even though Hutus win a majority in parliamentary elections; attempted coup by Hutu police led by Michel Micombero brutally suppressed." BBC
In one version, Micombero is an army officer who defeats a coup by the police. In the other version, he leads the police coup. Have the BBC got this completely wrong, then?
: They have.  The King fled, as stated, in 1965.   At some point, Micombero declared Burundi a republic, and himself President, ending the monarchy summarily.  Micombero "defeated" a reported coup by the gendarmerie in 1972, which the government attempted to blame on Marc Ndayiziga, the sole Hutu cabinet member (Minister of Public Works) who was in Belgium at the time, asking for infrastructure money.  This "abortive coup" was used as a justification for the Burundian genocide that followed. A lot of the politics of Burundi in the mid to late 20th century, from which Bahutu were routinely excluded, were marked by internal conflicts between Tutsi leaders, outsting and assassinating each other.   --Christian Edward Gruber 01:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The film "Summer Place," released in 2006, merits it's own Wikipedia entry and possibly a disambiguation footnote on this page.  I am unclear as how best to do that. 
Here is stub text that could be the basis for a wikipedia page on the film. Anyone care to take that on?
In 2006 Chinese film maker, Lou Ye, screened a pseudo-documentary film entitled SUMMER PALACE at the Cannes film festival, subsequently banned in China for its depiction of a twenty-year period prior to and subsequent to the tumultuous events in Tiananmen Square in 1989 and possibly censored for its extensive and explicit depiction of sexual intercourse. In larger context the film portrays a politically aware and aroused younger generation coping with a newly liberalized culture and society. The turmoil of that society is well depicted by its disaffected youth, socially confused and rebellious, as they attempt to define for themselves and resolve the existential crisis of youth in modern China.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frankatca (talk • contribs) 14:25, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Reaction norm

message: The y-axis of the graph with the two gaussian distributions is labeled "trait scale." This is misleading as well as incorrect because this is a graph of two probability distributions; the y-axis of a distribution function should be probability/density. On the other hand, labeing the y-axis of the other graph as "trait scale" makes complete sense (which is probably why it was misapplied to the gaussian distributions graph in the first place). So could someone edit the first graph? --JianLi 21:18, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mistake in the graph with gaussian distributions

message: The cited figure has to be removed for two reasons applied on the upper part of the figure:
(1) Monoclonal is frequently used for antibodies! not for plants. However, it means the same genetic makeup. Here we have different genotypes (A and B). Therefore, the figure does not apply!
(2) The figure tells nothing about a difference of performance (trait scale) in function of the environment. It just says that a very identical performance (trait) can be obtained by two different genotypes at two different environments.
Therefore, to be more accurate, the  curve should be stretchable upside down and right left, meanwhile, the figure should be removed!
