Talk:2005 papal conclave/Archive 2

replies: text: It might not be written as a single sentence in the Canon Law, but in Universi Dominici Gregis, it is written that someone becomes Pope on being elected and accept the position plus having episcopal character. So that's either a Bishop, or a non-Bishop that then get ordained. Since only a Roman Catholic male can be a Bishop, in turns only a Roman Catholic male can be Pope. -- KTC 21:54, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy/schools

message: Wikipedia currently has articles on Pokemon characters (List of Pokémon by name), Star Wars episodes, and mundane rock-n-roll albums. Every argument presented for the deletion of schools applies to these other topics, and even more strongly. Schools are some of the most important social and cultural institutions that we, as the human race, have; schools are where children learn to become adults; these future adults take over the task of living after we are old and dead and gone.  Surely this is far more "notable" than commemorating some bogus fictional Pokemon character? If we are blanket-deleting schools, we should surely blanket-delete the TV episodes from wikipedia first.  linas 17:51, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Template talk:History of Germany sidebar

message: A few changes that I think should be made:
* Military history during World War II is part of Nazi Germany and should not be here.
* There should be an article that deals with the two German states (East and West) which would replace the History of Germany since 1945
* The last entry should be the Federal Republic of Germany.

thread_title: Franks

message: I just fixed what I believe was a mislink that was a leftover from a template migration.  I also noticed that the background colors of each line of the template switch seemingly randomly from white to grey.  I was wondering if the each title (Ancient times, Building a nation, etc) should be one color and the entries another, or if each full section should alternate colors. I'd be glad to do the work if someone agrees with one of those methods.  Craig R. Nielsen 04:32, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Economy section, first paragraph:
"South Africa has a mixed economy, South Africa's economy is the most industrialized and technologically advanced in Africa respectively, it has the second largest economy in Africa, after Nigeria and the 39th largest in the world."
This is a strange run-on sentence and I don't even know what the "respectively" means here. At the very least please change the first comma to a full stop (or period as Americans call it?) but here's my proposal to rephrase it (or something like this, feel free to rephrase it, English isn't my first language)
"South Africa has a mixed economy. The country has the most industrialised and technologically advanced economy in Africa, the second largest in Africa overall after Nigeria and the 39th largest in the world."
There is also what I think is an unnecessary capital letter in the next paragraph:
"South Africa is ranked 40th by total Wealth"
I think "Wealth" shouldn't be capitalised?

thread_title:  Amusing to see wikipedia has become a advertising tool of the brainwashed and wicked 

message: Great job, very nicely done, well written and easy to read and digest, but the information becomes less useful, especially in academia, when it's unknown which parts, if any, are disputed, and if it is accepted by Sunni and/or Shia scholars, which could be clarified with a simple, "according to Shia tradition" "though Sunnis dispute this", "considered apocryphal" what ever the case may be. I think it would add scholarly credibility to an already well written piece if you could add clarification. If I have to vet all the source material to separate the 2, it defeats the whole purpose of a knowledge bank like wikipedia.
