Wikipedia talk:Edit conflicts

message: Is the software clever enough to detect whether an edit conflict is confined to a single section of an article? I ask because Dysprosia and I just clashed heads on this page whilst editing what was at that point the final section. I was explicitly editing that section, but I have no idea what Dysprosia had selected. Whatever the odds, I was presented with the entire page to sort out, just for the sake of about 10 lines at the bottom. Phil 12:06, Nov 28, 2003 (UTC)
: Oh yeah, gotta love that kind of edit conflict. And currently the software is that dumb :)

message: Yet another Latvian festival - I removed it. Why do these keep appearing, supported by links to the Latvian mythology page when the latter has been disputed (and not corrected) for years? If it is a neopagan or some other form of modern festival, it should clearly say so. However, it should not be labelled as an "Ancient Latvian festival" without clear evidence. My objection is that, in the past, this has rarely been clear and the assertion "ancient" has been going unchallenged, apparently justified by links to the dubious Latvian mythology page.

Talk:Kurt Schumacher

message: Please see Gordon A. Craig's book, "The Germans", pg. 36.  "During the 12 years of the Third Reich, he had sat almost uninterruptedly in concentration camps, as punishment for his biting anti-Nazi speeches that he had made as a member of the Reichstag in the years 1930-1933, and, when he was released he was a dying man, for a serious circulatory disease had gone unattended during his imprisonment."  His arm was amputated in 1948 and the final four years of his life were rarely free of pain.

thread_title:  Kurt Schumacher's Arm Injury Correction 

message: It is possible that he was in the Rote Kapelle. scope_creepTalk 22:16, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Not very likely. The Rote Kapelle (Red Orchestra)  was the name the Nazis gave to a wide-ranging Soviet network in Western Europe whose origins went back to the mid-1930s, at a time when Schumacher was in a concentration camp. Moreover, as a concentration camp prisoners, Schumacher would not have been able to offer any information of any value to the GRU. And finally, Schumacher was a socialist of the Marxist type, albeit to achieving change via peaceful means within the democratic system, but he was also an anti-communist. The split that saw the extreme left-wing of the SPD led by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg break away to form the KPD caused quite a lot of ill-feelings between the two groups that lasted for decades. All your source says that is that Oda Schottmüller, a member of the  Rote Kapelle was in a relationship with Kurt Schumacher. That is another guy. Schumacher is a common German surname and Kurt is likewise a common German boys name. The Kurt Schumacher referred to here was a sculptor who was executed by the German state in 1942, not the Social Democratic leader. The source says this Kurt Schumacher was born in 1905, which proves it is Kurt the Sculptor, not the Kurt the Social Democrat, that your source is talking about. I don't mean to sound rude, as I appreciate your good faith suggestion, but I believe you are are mistaken here --A.S. Brown (talk) 20:53, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Now cited.  I had to make one change, and there's one slight vagueness I should point out.  I dropped the mention of Mercian dialect from the description of the Parker Chronicle; Swanton doesn't mention it, at least in the passage I'm citing, and looking in other sources it's not clear that the Mercian elements continue to 1070 anyway.  The vagueness is that Swanton doesn't really cite that the Easter Table Chronicle is given the letter [I] because of the Rolls edition's A through F letters; he only says this for G and H.  I think this is obvious enough that it doesn't need to be cited. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 18:21, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

There are Gums and Gumms listed in the archives of Virginia and Tennessee going back to the early 18th Century. The Gumm family name that she is descended from originated in England (Kent) - the Gumms were Episcopalians and settled America in the pre-revolutionary war days of the 18th Century . Her maternal family  (Milne and Fitzpatrick) hails from Scotland and Ireland - all of this is well documented and readily verifiable any attempt to link her to  Von Tilzer or any other heritage is mis-information and vandalism at its worst i.e. when editors purposely add mis-information to promote something untrue or for other nefarious personal reasons.Vono 12:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Mostly, by whom is it "generally considered one of Heinlein's major novels" and "one of the most important science fiction novels ever written"?

Talk:Shared parenting

message: Shared parenting is very common among separated or divorced couples. Despite their maternal issues, they still have an obligation and a responsibility to take care of their offspring. This arrangement is very convenient for both parties as they have the freedom to get actively involved in their children’s lives and mold them to become responsible citizen as they grow up. It may be difficult for the child to get adjusted with the situation and may not like the overall set-up from the beginning, but still, children must learn that both parents must have a shared responsibility for their own upbringing.

replies: text: Ok, I think the Coriander article redundancy is ok.  But some parts need to be clarified a bit.  For example in the history section it is sometimes unclear if it is just talking about coriander in general (the plant) or the spice.  AFAIK, all the history (which I found on the internet) refers to the use of the dried fruits as a spice of some sort.  And we should also link to Coriander (spice) for more spice info (this article will have more later, links to curry recipes, a picture of the spice in both forms, etc..) and also link to Cilantro (spice) which I will eventually write.  I'm sort of writing one new spice article every week.  I think I've just done three so far.  My end goal is to get this on the wikibook cookbook, but that project seems a bit stalled at the moment.  dave 23:10, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)
