Talk:List of German veterans of the International Brigades

message: As East Germany did not exist after 1945 I wonder if this List should actually exist - rather it should be merged/extended to include all of Germany. Agathoclea 13:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't follow what you're saying about the dates but agree with the sentiment entirely. I'll move it. ROGER TALK 14:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Basically the list is about the Spanish civil war which happened to prior to WWII when there was not East-West divide. Does that make more sense? Agathoclea 16:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It does. However after WWII, many East Germans Spanienkämpfer (Spanish fighters) did extremely well in the East but badly in the West. I created the list to see how far they progressed really. ROGER TALK 17:14, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Powder Alarm

message: Why are there quotes around "dress rehearsal" in the beginning? Are they scare quotes? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 01:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they're scare quotes.  There's no suitable wikilink (dress rehearsal is a dab page, with a pointer to rehearsal, where "dress rehearsal" is defined), otherwise I would've just linked it. (Alternatively, one could link to wikt:dress rehearsal, something I hadn't previously considered.) Magic♪piano 04:18, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I believe I wrote the sentence in question back in the "old days". (Ahah, there's another one!) "Dress rehearsal" not really a scare quote, since there's no irony involved, but instead just an indicator that this is an idiom sometimes used to describe the Powder Alarm. I don't specifically remember the source I had in front of me when I typed that sentence -- back in the "old days" we weren't so fussy about footnotes -- but a quick Google Book Search just revealed three sources that used the phrase to describe the event (none of which I consulted at the time). One could remove the idiom and rephrase, or cite an example of this usage, or write something like "...has sometimes been called a 'dress rehearsal' for the Battle..." (with a cite), or just leave it as it is. —Kevin Myers 15:49, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm fairly certain I've seen the term used in at least one source.  But the quotes here are really just to highlight the term -- one might just as well use italics, MOS allowing. Magic♪piano 05:01, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The second definition of dress rehearsal at Merriam-Webster is a practice exercise for something to come so I recommend removing the quotes. --Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 12:21, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:North Queensland Labor Party

message: How was it succeeded by the North Queensland Party in 1974? The NQP had already been around for decades, with its lone MP in the parliament, Tom Aikens. Rebecca 12:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Rebecca, thanks for following me around and giving me some guidance with all these things, I found this source on Google books, and am just going by it, do a google book search of "North Queensland Labor Party" and go to page 73, that is where I got the info from, will do some further research into Tom Aikens who I suspect ran under a few party banners.  Thanks, WikiTownsvillian 13:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this source Thomas Aikens was the North Queensland Labor Party Member for Mundingburra from 15.04.1944 to 28.05.1960 and the North Queensland Party Member for Townsville South from 28.05.1960 to 12.11.1977.  Will keep looking.  WikiTownsvillian 13:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This book will probably help us out if we can find it: Moles, Ian. (1979). A Majority of One: Tom Aikens and Independent Politics in Townsville. WikiTownsvillian 14:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for doing that bit of digging - it clarifies things quite a bit. I get back to Canberra next week, so I'd be happy to get the Moles book from the National Library if no one's found it before then. There are a few other potentially useful suggestions on Google Books which seem to have a bit about the party's founding - "Labor in Power: the Labor Party and governments in Queensland, 1915-57" by Colin Anfield Hughes, Roger Bilbrough Joyce, Denis Joseph Murphy, was one, but there seemed to be a couple of others too. Rebecca 10:02, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was all one party with three names over time. Tom Aikens was the Labor deputy mayor of Townsville in 1942, when he and most of his branch were expelled by the ALP.  They formed the Hermit Park Labor Party, which won the council elections in a landslide in 1943.  Then Aikens stood for the State Legislative Assembly as a Hermit Park Labor Party candidate, and won the seat of Mundingburra in 1944 (the seat was renamed Townsville South in 1960).  Aikens represented the seat as Hermit Park Labor until 1949 when he changed the name to North Queensland Labour Party, and then dropped Labour to become the North Queensland Party in 1974.  So three names = one party, and it was mostly Tom anyway.  He lost the seat in 1977.  Anyone feel like writing an article on Tom Aikens?  All this is in an article by Doug Hunt in the Australian Dictionary of Biography - you can read it on the web at <http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A170008b.htm> Peter Bell (talk) 05:24, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Lexicon Pharmaceuticals

message: An excellent start! I approve of these contributions, and feel that they meet some of my concerns. I am glad to see what initially appear to be external citations on many of these statements, but most (if not all) of your "external" citations firmly declare "press release source: Lexicon Pharmaceuticals". A corporate press release does not constitute an independently verifiable resource as much as it reflects "forward looking statements" posted on a financial website. You need external validation from another resource (and a peer-reviewed publication would be nice), or you can not claim stated function for a given compound - only that the company alleges such a function might be possible. I'll be glad to give you the time to remove those in-house citations and find those independent publications. Then I will take down the "needs external validation" signpost.
:My other concern is that you reference a pair of posters that may have been presented at a public meeting, but which are currently hosted on Lexicon servers. I'm sure that the conference sponsors have webspace to host such things, and in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety, you should probably link to those documents on that organization's site instead of your own company.
:Last and not least, why not register a wikipedia account? That IP really isn't all that anonymous, and to avoid the appearance of impropriety, I recommend full transparency! Aderksen (talk) 22:35, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Jelly roll (slang)

message: 9/8/2015 I would add the comment that since Heroin wasn't invented until 1898 (Bayer) and didn't become a scourge until after that, the criticism below is misguided.  and if you listen to jazz and blues records, the songs aren't about heroin they are definitely about sex.  I would say the edits claiming it is about heroin are incorrect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Fields (talk • contribs) 11:57, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Go ahead and add that information in, assuming you can find a good source that claims it's true.  Personally I'm dubious that the term always means anything, since slang tends to change over time and geography, but a drug reference wouldn't really surprise me. --thither 05:32, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

message: After removing an excess of lyrics, what was left on this page was a dictionary definition (something which Wikipedia is not).  It explained the meaning, etymology and usage examples of a slang expression.  I can't find any encyclopedic content on this page.  Nothing here rises past what I would expect to read in a truly great unabridged dictionary.  The definitions and usage discussions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.
Options to fix the page here include:
# Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
# Redirect the page to a more general page.
# Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the  template).
Pending a better answer, I'm implementing option 3 for now.  Rossami (talk) 11:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:H3 (film)

message: What about adding a plot to this film? OK, I'm not English nor Irish and I saw the film in its original version, and maybe I lost some pieces. Maybe there are many things missing or some wrong. But I think it's better having a little plot for improving this article, thanks. More or less, here I go:
Northern Ireland, Maze Prison (aka Long Kesh), 1981. Newly arrived young IRA prisoner Declan (Aidan Campbell) is warned by the autorithies prison that the IRA does not exist in the Maze. Declan joins the blanket protest and is send to the cell with prisoner Seamus Scullion (Brendan Mackey), who is on the blanket and also the dirty protest.
P^risoners at night talk to each others in gaelic, as well as it's the main language between them because that way the prison workers don't understand them.
Seamus talks with one of the prison's officers to have better conditions in their cells, as they only have a mattress. The prisoners get it, as well as their can wash. But as for the clothes, they get civil clothes but not their own clothes. So Seamus goes to talk to the prison's governor (Gerry O'Brien), and he is beaten and the prisoners transferred to their old uncomfortable cells.
Sunday, the day of mass. Seamus talks to IRA's office comander in Long Kesh, Bobby Sands (Mark O'Halloran) who says the only way is the hunger strike. He will lead it, and then Francis Hughes will join (Fergal McElherron), as well as Ray McCreesh and Patsy O'Hara.
Short after the 1981 hunger strike began, the independent MP at Westminster Frank Maguire suddenly dies of a heart attack. He was the prisoner's voice outside, and Bobby Sands is choosen for the post. He wins, and the prisoners celebrate it. They don't have radio but they did made an electrical appliance so they can listen the radio in a clandestine way.
But Bobby does not stop the hunger strike and dies. This makes all the prisoner's angry, as he was a member of the Westmister parliament. As more deaths of hungerstrikes succeed, Ciaran (Dean Lennox Kelly) a prisoner who left the blanket and dirty protests and dressed the prison uniform, comes back to join her prison friends who are in srtuggle.
