message: I find these sentences in the article, as it currently stands: "The current church was built during the 7th century, possibly by Pope Leo II, who dedicated it to Saint Sebastian. A 482 inscription in the catacombs of St. Callixtus probably refers of a church in the same zone." Bad style aside, I can't see how an inscription of 482 (unreferenced) can be related to a church that wasn't built until the 7th century.

Talk:Volleyball

message: As stated, indoor volleyball is a game played on an indoor court, with six players on each side. Games are played either best 2/3 or best 3/5, all games to 25 points unless they go to a tiebreaker set, which is played to 15 points total. Five of the Six players on court will be in one colour, while the remaining player, the Libero, plays in another colour. The Libero plays back court only in order to give the middle blocked a break, and play defence for them. 
In beach volleyball, there are only two players on each side of the court. Teams of two play games and tournaments to 21 points for the first two sets, and 15 in the third (win by two). Beach volleyball is played on sand rather than court.  LiaNicDeg1125 (talk) 01:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

message: The annual children's choice book awards in US states define eligible books (as well as eligible voters) in different ways. A book may be considered by middle-school students in one state, high-school students in an other state. It may be considered for the 2012 award in one state, for 2013, 2014, 2015, or for multiple years in another state.
Taking Out of My Mind (2010) for example, we list four states where it was a 2013 winner: WA, CA, NV, IL. This year I visited such awards websites for almost all US states and found that Out of My Mind was a 2014 winner in CT, MA, MN. 
* Nutmeg Book Award, Connecticut: intermediate winner (grades 4-6?) 
* Massachusetts Children's Book Award (single category, 2009 to 2013 publications eligible?) 
* Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award, Minnesota: grades 3-5 runner-up, grades 6-8 winner.
Many 2014 winners were published in 2012 (none in 2013 as far as I know), hence I suppose that Out of My Mind was a 2012 winner in some states.

Talk:Muslim League's Direct Action Day

message: This article appears to contradict itself in relation to the causes of the riots.
In the intro to the Causes and Preludes section the author states categorically that "[t]he riots, by Hindu Extremists hailing from the Congress and Mahasabha, were the consequence of the declaration by the Muslim League that Muslims throughout the subcontinent were to 'suspend all business' to support their demand for an independent Pakistan." and backs this up with a statment from the Statesman newspaper (actually a reference to a book which presumbly cites a statement from that paper - a date for the paper would be better) which does indeed suggest this as a cause.
However, in the next section he presents direct primary evidence which states the exact opposite:  "It is said that the decision to have a public holiday on 16th August was the cause of trouble, but I think this is very far-fetched. There was a public holiday in Sind and there was no trouble there." (Lord Wavell writing to Pethick Lawrence).
Further, in the section Involvement of the Muslim League Government, the author states, without citation, that "In fact evidence to the contrary was found of Congress' involvement in the rioting".  There is no evidence to back this up in the succedding section and in fact the next paragraph - which would be expected to support the author's statement - merely repeats the fact that Wavell could find no evidence of Muslim involvement (I have removed excessive use of the same quotes from the article) and is in fact the only evidence presented in support of this heading (the other quote being a press release from before the riots) 
This is an interesting topic, but it needs more cleaning up than that I have just done, and the POV still appears to give undue weighting to one side over the other. StuartDouglas 10:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
