Talk:A Fortunate Life

message: As per either a recent request at section for assessment requests or because this article was listed as fully or partly unassessed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment I have just now completed a rating of the article and posted my results to this page. Those results are detailed above in the template box. Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, I am unable to leave detailed comments other than to make the following brief observation: no further comments at this time  However if you have specific questions, please write to me on my talk page and as time permits I will try to provide you with my reasoning. Please put my talk page on your watchlist if you do ask such a question because in the case of these responses I will only post my answer underneath your question. ALSO if you do not agree with the rating you can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it.--VS talk 12:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a reference for the "New South Wales Literacy Award"?  I've never heard of it and there seem to be no webpages referenced by Google.

Talk:Hydraulic lime

message: I made a few mods to this article in order to correct a few factual errors, and to improve the layout.
(1) expanded on the meaning of hydraulicity: when someone clicks this article rather than that on lime, they want to know what 'hydraulic' means.
(2) deleted 'lime is natural' since lime is man-made.
(3) deleted 'embodied energy' which is technically meaningless.
(4) corrected the misleading statement about CO2.
(5) deleted link which is merely an advertisement.

Mentalis restrictio in moral theology 
The traditional teaching of moral theologians is that a lie is intrinsically evil, and therefore, never allowed. However, there are instances where one is also under an obligation to keep secrets faithfully, and sometimes the easiest way of fulfilling that duty is to say what is false, or to tell a lie. Writers of all creeds and of none, both ancient and modern, have frankly accepted this position. They admit the doctrine of the "lie of necessity", and maintain that when there is a conflict between justice and veracity it is justice that should prevail. The common Catholic teaching has formulated the theory of mental reservation as a means by which the claims of both justice and veracity can be satisfied.
To its source (https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10195b.htm)
According to the common Catholic teaching it is never allowable to tell a lie, not even to save human life. A lie is something intrinsically evil, and as evil may not be done that good may come of it, we are never allowed to tell a lie. However, we are also under an obligation to keep secrets faithfully, and sometimes the easiest way of fulfilling that duty is to say what is false, or to tell a lie. Writers of all creeds and of none, both ancient and modern, have frankly accepted this position. They admit the doctrine of the lie of necessity, and maintain that when there is a conflict between justice and veracity it is justice that should prevail. The common Catholic teaching has formulated the theory of mental reservation as a means by which the claims of both justice and veracity can be satisfied.
This is plagiarism and should be dealt with immediately.  The rest of the article's information should be compared with its corresponding sources.

Talk:Kilmarnock and Troon Railway

message: Regarding comments about the line being singled prior to electrification, this isn't quite true.  I lived in Irvine since the mid 70's and frequently went to Ayr, crossing the line.  It has been singled for a number of years prior to the electrification of the Ayrshire coast line in the early to mid 80's, however, pictures of the K&T railway showing Drybridge station in the late 60's show the line still being doubled. Douglasnicol 12:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Singled

message: I've reverted the article removing the picture as it seems a little pointless and random, especially since there is already a clearer picture of the station just one click away on the Drybridge station page. Any opinions anyone? I think any images that would go on the main railway article should be maps, old timetables, etc, while pictures of stations should go on the relevant station article. - Dreamer84 00:04, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a pity we can't get hold of a picture like that in the Stenlake 'Lost railways' book as that was a rather nice picture from the days of when the station was operational. Douglasnicol 16:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  There is another point of view; these huge slabs of text [there ought to be a lot more on this important and historic line] can be a bit daunting for the uninformed reader who wants to know more. If you think about the factual pages of newspapers, they always incorporate graphical illustrations, and the reason is simply to make the page more reader-friendly. Even serious newspapers do this; in an article on savings, for example, the headline might be "Don't tie your money up in a long-notice account" and there will be a photograph of a girl tied up in some 1930s gangster film. Completely irrelevant to the financial theme, but it just makes readability easier. Dreamer84 assumes that readers here must also go to the station article, and therefore that the images are duplicated. That isn't necessarily so; why should they? Many of the station articles tend to be very basic and superficial anyway. Afterbrunel (talk) 21:37, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Foreign policy analysis

message: Hi! I just wanted to suggest a few sources that could be useful for the article:
V. Hudson, C. Vore "Foreign Policy Analysis: yesterday, today, tomorrow" Mershon International Studies Review, vol. 39, no. 2 (oct. 1995), pp. 209-238.
V. Hudson, "Foreign Policy Analysis: Actor-Specific Theory and the Ground of International Relations" Foreign Policy Analysis, vol. 1, no. 1 (march 2005), pp. 1-30 (this one is freely available online)
They are both really good review articles: they provide a discussion of the methodology and epistemology that distinguishes FPA from IR theory (in particular the fact that FPA challenges the state-centric approach of IR theory, and the assumption that states can be considered unitary rational actors), and they also give a good overview of the key approaches to FPA, that is: 
*Comparative Foreign Policy, based on James Rosenau's work Pre-Theories and Theories of Foreign Policy (1966)
*Foreign Policy Decision-Making, based on a 1960's study by Snyder, Bruck and Sapin
*Man-Milieu Relationship Hypotheses, by Sprout and Sprout
Another good source could be C. Hill, The Changing Politics of Foreign Policy, published by Palgrave MacMillan, 2003. That too provides a good review of theories of foreign policy. It kind of tries to be a handbook in FPA, but of course it faces the daunting task of summarizing an incredibly large body of literature. I don't think a real handbook has yet been published, anyway.
I hope I was helpful. Thanks.
SFinamore 13:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I thought I should revert the page to the previous edit. The reason is that the sentence "a state has a foreign policy goal" doesn't seem to fit in well with the context of the paragraph "goal setting", which talks about the need to prioritise between different goals. Besides, I think we can fairly agree that a state actually does have "multiple" foreign policy goals, sometimes at odd with each other. What should be contested is the idea that a "state" has foreign policy goals: it is actually the governing elites who have goals, and sometimes different people in the government or in the bureaucracy or elsewhere may have different and even opposite objectives, which may sometimes lead to incoherent foreign policies. In fact, one of the peculiar aspects of Foreign Policy Analysis as a discipline is that it contests the "unitary actor" assumption which is so frequently made in the macrotheories of International Relations, especially in Realism: FPA literature generally does not consider states as "unitary actors". One more thing I reverted: "state" (or perhaps State, capitalized) is a more appropriate term than "country" in the study of IR, FPA, International Law and other international disciplines.

Talk:Lawdy Miss Clawdy

message: to see the list of covers of this song evaporate. Part of what makes a song such as this a classic is the number of times it is covered and the quality of those artists doing the covering. If the issue is about referencing we can deal with that. Meanwhile, the article (opinion) is that much poorer. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:59, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we've had this conversation before, but :WP:SONGCOVER represents the consensus. A list is a click away (see last link "Lloyd Price: Lawdy Miss Clawdy – Also Performed By"). Plus they link to the artist bios and the albums they appear on. Also there are websites dedicated to covers, like this one which lists 102 versions. You can see why it is impractical to list them all. —Ojorojo (talk) 18:41, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes,  we probably have had this discussion before and actually I do not see why it is impractical to list them all. Especially when it is done in a nice, neat chart format.  Wikipedia is filled with references that turn out to be dead links. One day the links you provide might be dead too.  Also if we removed all wikipedia content that is on other web sites, what would we be left with?  As a wikipedia user, (as opposed to an editor) I frequently find myself annoyed by the lack of this song information.  I want wikipedia to be the place I go for this stuff and am willing to be the one who does the chopping of the wood and carrying of the water. It is one thing to read that a song has 102 covers, it is quite another to see them listed. Wikipedia has 5 million articles.  Adding a little bit more content to a thousand of them will not hurt anyone except those who have some  . . . ......... never mind. Carptrash (talk) 05:00, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Consensus is a WP fundamental.
