Talk:Pay as you throw

message: --Alex 15:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: This article appears to me to be quite biased to the US (or possibly Anglosphere) situation:
*the article presupposes that the "community" implements garbage collection, rather than private companies or larger-scale entities, which is the case elsewhere in the world
*"ranging from small towns to large cities" (arguably) excludes rural settlement patterns
*"picked up weekly" is a bit weird, since the pick-up frequency is commonly different from that.
*the term "pay as you throw" itself seems to me to be both overly informal and probably based on political debates in just one or two countries.
*no information whatsoever about where the flat-fee model has been replaced, or never used at all.  To me, it reads like the implied statement is that many flat-fee garbage pricing used to be universal in the US, and then been replaced by "PAYT" in some of them, across the country, with no reference given to countries that have a different history.
Feel free to change that to a normal NPOV warning, but fix the article (which should probably be merged with one about the rather weird flat-fee model PAYT is replacing) before removing it entirely.  Thanks.

thread_title:  Company Called Pay as You Throw 

message: I can't offer a lot of insight, but i know from first hand experience Brussels Belgium has a pay as you throw scheme for households (some apartments are excluded, though not all). I had a friend living there who complained about it a lot as she messed it up and got fined for putting stuff in the wrong bags and you have to buy the bags which are not that cheap.

So this article should be expanded with more examples from around the world :). I now live in Australia and the idea is floated here too, though I'm not aware of anywhere that uses it currently.

Talk:Wedding/Archive 1

message: I always thought the traditional end-of-wedding music was from Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream. The .ogg sample is the first time I've heard the Widor piece. -- Merphant — Preceding undated comment added 11:00, 19 November 2002 (UTC)
replies: text: Incidentally, it may well be that the Widor has become more popular since being used at Prince Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981, but I don't know that for a fact, I'm just speculating. --Camembert
Traditionally Wagner(Lohengrin) is played as the bride goes to the altar, and Mendelssohn(Midsummer Night's Dream) as she leaves the altar.  Both are now in Britain considered old fashioned, and theatrical and never played at smarter weddings.  Widor's toccata became fashionable after  it was played at the wedding of Princess Margaret in the early 1960s, it is played generally on leaving the church.  Couples can have played whatever they like from a pop song to a hymn.  In Britain 'Trumpet Voluntary' (or an abridged version known as 'Trumpet Tune') and the 'Prince of Denmark's March' are popular choices, as is Handel's Water Music.  Widor's toccata requires a very large organ, so often the 'Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' (which does not) is played as the bride leaves (contrary to the title). I have the misfortune to be able to play a church organ, hence I know these things! Giano 16:56, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: In 1979, he married Catherine Thérèsa Lewis, by whom he has two children:
*Arthur Michael Sackville (b. 1983)
*Savannah Elizabeth Sackville (b. 1986)
Sackville was elected Member of Parliament for Bolton West at the 1983 general election, ousting future government minister Ann Taylor.  During his time in Parliament, he served as a government whip and a junior minister (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health and Minister of State for the Home Office).  In his Home Office role, he was the minister responsible for dealing with cults/new religious movements, and cut the government's financial support for the advisory group INFORM. In 1997, he lost his seat to Labour's Ruth Kelly by 7,072 votes.
Sackville became Chairman of the voluntary anti-cult group FAIR (Family, Action, Information, Resource) and is now (as of November 2007) the Chairman of its charitable successor, The Family Survival Trust, and (as of May 2009) the President of FECRIS.

Talk:Glenwood station (Metro-North)

message: Since  blindly reverted all my changes with the message "better before" I'm going to outline why I made these changes, and why I think they're best for the article:
# Removed the hard-coded 300 from the image size in the infobox. This is a no-op; the infobox itself sets that size and the infobox is designed to use that size. 300px also conforms (for the moment) to the Manual of Style for main image size. If those defaults ever change it's better that there not be a hard-coded value.
# Removed extra whitespace between the infobox and the opening lede. This is standard and tightens up the spacing. I'm surprised it was controversial.
# Moved the image of the power station within the power station section of the article. It makes sense to me that it be within the section that describes it. As the various sections expand with more content this will scale better.
# Removed the hard-coded image size of 300px. This is per the MOS as well and it's a common courtesy. The default thumbnail size is 220px, but users may configure that according to their preference. We shouldn't force this without a good reason, and none is apparent here.
# Removed the "Notes" sub-heading from the References section. I can't fathom why it was there in the first place. It's redundant and unnecessary.
# Removed the bullet point for the commons category. I admit I don't have much a reason for this save that every other article I've seen does it this way. Also, less cleanup if and when the article becomes long enough that we don't have to render it in-line anymore. Further, not having the bullet-point makes it clear that this link is special and different from other external links (which is why it's also at the head of the list).
# Removed the "spacing" comment. Again, no idea why that's even there.

Talk:Intransitivity

message: The present stage of the article betrays some confusion on my part.
In the article as I found it, the term was used purely to refer to the presence of 'preference ordering loops'.
I was quite surprised to see this, since it adds a third distinct meaning to the term, besides the two I was already familiar with (nontransitivity and antitransitivity).
Now Google provides confirmations for all three uses of the term.
Therefore I strongly feel we have to recognize all three of them and explain their differences,
rather than picking one of them, as a textbook would do.
But I didn't have too much time so I only added a "formal definition" section in which the three concepts are defined and exemplified.  The article needs restructuring.  Please help ...

Talk:Extended producer responsibility

message: --Alex 15:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The article seems to stray from neutrality in its choice of words.
Some of the word choices in the article seem unnecessarily biasing.  Such as "Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is a strategy" and "Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) uses political means" or "This tactic attempts..." even "The producer may also choose to delegate this responsibility to a third party, a so-called producer responsibility organization (PRO), which is paid by the producer for spent-product management."
While it is true that EPR uses these methods, EPR itself is not its methods.  EPR is a concept wherein companies are held responsible past the point of sale (extended) and is based in the belief that companies are responsible for the entire life cycle of their products.
Also, the discussion of "consumer responsibility" and CO2 should be in a different section as it is not part of the definition of EPR.  Rather, it is a criticism of EPR and perhaps should be in a "criticism" sub-section.
