Talk:Karo people (Indonesia)

message: Is it true that members of other Batak clans are not allowed to join in at a Karo adat wedding?  The article says that only Karo are allowed to attend the Karo wedding.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.105.253.236 (talk) 19:43, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Modern practice is that a Karo adat-based ceremony will be held at lunch time for Karo people, while a modern celebration (the wedding reception essentially) will take place in the evening, with alcohol consumption likely at the latter. It is not so much 'not allowed', as custom, so it would be conceivable that a close non-Karo friend or neighbour might help out/attend the adat ceremony. Attendees to the adat ceeremomy would be according to family ties and reciprocal social obligations, while the evening reception would be for friends. Obviously practice varies from area to area, but this would be typical in an area with significant non-Karo population, and also as something more 'fun' for the young couple.

Talk:Evolution/supportdraft

message: Well orangemarlin, I guess I misjudged the deletion process again here. I did not think that this would be so poorly received by the mainstream. This reminds me of an even worse case than the "theory vs. fact" discussions. Wow. So here we have the controversy article, which is basically a mess as far as I can tell with more than one theme in it. Just look at that worthless philosophy of science stuff? What value is that to anyone but a philosopher? This is a general purpose encyclopedia ? Please...  And the evolution article, which has those gawdawful sections on the controversy in a science article. At least finally the lead on evolution is starting to look actualy readable. Here are things I am thinking of:
# rewrite this and retitle it to be far more neutral, describing the creationist side far more. 
# the objections draft might be incorporated into an attempt to make a legitimate fork of the controversy article. I would propose that under the guise of shortening the article and rewriting it, the creationism-evolution controversy ARGUMENTS be separated out. Then we add the objections to it. We create a draft page off of the creationism-evolution controversy article and before publishing, we open the doors and let them throw stones for a few weeks. When people feel finally semi comfortable (hopefully), then we propose publishing it. This article would be a natural fork off that.
#by hitting people blind with this, they were not happy. 
#The impression I have is that few people appreciate how much material on this topic there is, and how poorly presented what they have at the moment is. My experience with the talk and fact article was proof of that. 
#The title was bad. It was too provocative.

message: The page notes "(Redirected from Right hand man)".
The text does not well reflect British usage, in which a right-hand man is rarely a personal assistant, but rather an extremely significant friend and/or colleague.  A PA is rarely capable of undertaking the prime tasks of his principle, but rather relieves the principal of many relatively routine tasks; a PA can fairly readily be replaced.  A right-hand man is commonly one who might well be considered for promotion to the principal's position.  He may be considered indispensable. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 16:31, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

‘ . . . inaugural 14-city tour . . . “We opened in St. Louis . . . ” ’
‘ . . . Quarterflash was born of two former Portland bands: Seafood Mama, led by Ross and his wife, Rindy; and Pilot, a group led by vocalist and guitarist Jack Charles. . . ’
‘ . . . The band’s name came from an Australian term that means one-fourth legitimate and three-fourths silliness. . . ’

Talk:Tax advisor

message: This article needs some organizational work, possibly in tandem with the article Enrolled Agent.
The initial definition of a tax advisor as a person trained in tax law is misleading.  Tax advisors are not usually trained lawyers, but are more usually expert in a combination of tax rules and the practice of the taxation authorities.  (Indeed, some tax advisors are former employees of a taxation authority.)  The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has ruled in R (Prudential plc) v Special Commissioner [2013] UKSC 1 that advice on applicable tax rules, given by a non-lawyer, is not professional legal advice protected by privilege.
The section of the article dealing with the United Kingdom is bizarre and misleading.  (A) The applicable code of conduct is different for each of the professional bodies mentioned, so that there is no uniform code of conduct as suggested here.  (B) There is no requirement for a tax advisor or tax consultant to be a member of any of the professional bodies mentioned.
These problems contribute to the overall low quality of the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.22.82 (talk) 17:20, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
