Talk:William D'Elia

message: This Wikipedia bio first says that d'Elia is the current head of the Bufalino family.  Then lower down it notes that he has already ratted out DeNaples, and that he might get future lenient treatment based up on further cooperation.  I don't believe that d'Elia can be the current boss of the Bufalino family - I mean, who would trust him??? - his underlings??? - they would be afraid he might rat them out when the going got tough - other bosses??? - NO WAY.  I think this entry needs to be changed to his being a "past" head of the Bufalino family.  I mean, how many guys are there left in that family???  A handful???
And d'Elia used to be a go-between to smooth things out between families.  There is no way he could do that today - nobody would trust him.  I mean, I remember reading YEARS ago that he was suspected of being an informant for the simple fact that he never got arrested.  LOL!!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.94.109 (talk) 20:26, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Scott Horton reported yesterday that charges were to filed today against "The Bush Six".  I figure the best way to cover this material would be to a single article that dealt with the charges in detail.  I started to prepare a draft here.  Comments to it are welcome at its talk page. I figured the articles about the six men should each have a relatively small section that sets the context for the charges for that particular man, and then refers readers to the main article, via  or .

replies: text: William Louis Dickinson →  – WP:COMMONNAME. Most sources during his political career abbreviated his middle name. Examples: A front page story in the Alabama Journal (now Montgomery Advertiser) on November 4, 1964, the day after Dickinson first won election to US Congress, reported: "Swept into office in the wake of the states rights protest from thousands of Republican and defiant Democratic voters alike were...William L. Dickinson in the 2nd [district]..." (emphasis mine)The Montgomery Advertiser, the local newspaper in Dickinson's congressional district, slightly preferred "Bill Dickinson" in its news coverage. For instance, "Congressman Bill Dickinson" has 700+ matches, and "Rep. Bill Dickinson" has 3,000+ matches, for a total of about 3,700. In contrast, there were about 3,100 for these variants of William Dickinson: "Rep. William Dickinson": 1,000+ matches"Rep. William L. Dickinson": 500+ matches"Congressman William Dickinson": nearly 900 matches"Congressman William L. Dickinson": 700+ matchesIn contrast, national media preferred William. For instance, "william l dickinson" alabama site:Nytimes.com has 69 results to the seven for "Bill Dickinson" Alabama site:nytimes.com when searching The New York Times website.Also, The Washington Post used William L.

I would point out (In reference to the Pleats in Trousers section) that some of the best suit manufacturers (at least in the USA) produce suits with Pleats.  Pleated trousers remain standard business wear, and the statement "Bargain and Affordable stores push Pleats" is biased.

thread_title:  More things to add 

message: I have removed this unencyclopedic text and the neutrality tag it (quite rightly) triggered: 
:After the 90s, modern couture gave pleats a "dated" profile while at the same time explained that pleated pants make the wearer appear much heavier, hence many stores which cater for young people and fashionistas avoid pleats at all costs. Bargain or affordable stores which cater to older or crowds stuck in other decades encourage them. If in doubt, use the golden rule of clothing: "Pleats are only fashionable in drapes and curtains."
and
:"If God wanted pockets on the sides of our legs, or any other part of our bodies, He wouldn't have made Kangaroos and Koalas to prove His point".

Talk:Cephalization

message: "Cephalization is advantageous in that organisms with greater cephalization can analyze a new and potentially hazardous environment without moving their entire bodies into it."
This explains why it is advantageous to have a head (i.e., an extension with sensory organs located on it), but not a brain in the head. In fact, the explanation here provided has nothing to do whatsoever with why cephalization is evolutionarily advantageous. The best explanation concerns the costs of sensory-motor neuronal fibers that extend to the anterior and posterior regions. See "Component Placement Optimization in the Brain" (1994) for more.
For now, I suggest you high school kids stop writing whatever it is you feel like writing. Cite your sources. And stop writing whatever it is you feel like writing.
* This article needs to be re-written. Most evolutionary theorists now agree that evolution does not have directionality (e.g. Stephen Jay Gould, Time's Arrow, Time's Cycle, or Richard Dawkins, Climbing Mount Improbable). The article, though on a potentially useful topic, is written from a non-expert's viewpoint that is potentially misleading. Mccajor 18:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: This article states: "Even hydras, which are primitive, radially symmetrical cnidarians, show some degree of cephalization. They have a 'head' where their mouth, photoreceptive cells, and a concentration of neural cells are located." The nerve net article states: "A nerve net consists of interconnected neurons lacking a brain or any form of cephalization." The hydra article states: "The nervous system of Hydra is a nerve net, which is structurally simple compared to mammalian nervous systems."
These statements are in conflict with one another. If the hydra's nervous system is a nerve net, and nerve nets lack any form of cephalization, then the hydra cannot show some degree of cephalization. If a nerve net lacks any form of cephalization, and the hydra shows some degree of cephalization, then the hydra's nervous system is not a nerve net. If the hydra's nervous system is a nerve net, and the hydra shows some degree of cephalization, then a nerve net can show some form of cephalization.
Someone who knows about this subject should make a correction. 167.131.0.194 (talk) 23:17, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Speedy is only for articles that do not assert notability. To say someone is an emeritus professor at a university like Stanford is to assert notability in an clear way. The actual notability, though, depends. In general  all full professors, present or past, at major research universities have done sufficiently important work that they are considered notable, as shown by repeated consensus at AfD. 
The article needs expansion--he probably has some awards, and they should be listed with references. I think the papers listed are  the most recent papers, its also important to give the most cited , to show how colleagues asses his work. 02:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Criminal Code (Canada)

message: In the first paragraph, I see "It should be noted that the Canadian Criminal Code is not a code in the civil law meaning of the term, because it does present principles in any logical way."  Should "does" be "doesn't" there?  --Closeapple 01:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does/doesn't typo in first paragraph? 

message: The Criminal Code can only be said to consolidate the law if earlier law need no longer be consulted. Section 9 ("Criminal offences to be under law of Canada") appears to eliminate all offences arising from English law, but begins "Notwithstanding anything in this Act or any other Act". If "notwithstanding" is taken literally, then those English Acts are not withstood and still apply. On the other hand, if it means that the English Acts do not withstand section 9, then this section seems to make subsection 8(2) ("Application of criminal law of England") inoperative. Clarification?
The best sense I can make of it, taking the second interpretation of "notwithstanding", is that the offences are eliminated, but not necessarily other aspects of the Acts. Similarly, common law defences are retained by subsection 8(3).
:I used to be confused with the meaning of "notwithstanding" in the exact same way. I always thought it meant that it "could not withstand..." I know now that "notwithstanding" is basically a synonym for "despite" or "irrespective of". Thus, s. 8 means that all English Acts that create criminal offences are eliminated. -PullUpYourSocks 23:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
