This article has been chosen as this fortnight's effort for WP:Discord's #team-b-vital channel, a collaborative effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to WP:Articles for Improvement. This effort will run for up to a fortnight, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve.

thread_title:  Bells 

message: The article contains the text "...was the son of Lluís Bonet, Jordi Bonet i Armengol. Armengol began introducing computers...". In English usage for Catalan surnames, Jordi's surname would normally be given as "Bonet", not "Armengol". See for example his Euroweek obituary. Unless there is evidence that he actually used the surname "Armengol" (I can't find any), I think the normal usage should be followed. In the context, however, "Bonet" would be confusing (does it refer to Lluis or Jordi?). Maybe just use "Jordi"? If not, "Bonet i Armengol". The point is very minor, but may be the reason why the link to Bonet i Armengol's wikipedia page is missing. Urilarim (talk) 21:10, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Chickenhawk (politics)

message: Until recently there was a statement on contemporary attestation/usage of this term with several reliable sources. Given that the remaining material is four or more decades old, I feel that the contemporary material should be restored (or arguments should be provided for why contemporary attestation of the lexeme is not relevant). Doremo (talk) 10:07, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the material can be restored, but not in a section called "Origin of the term", but rather in a separate section about "Contemporary attestation/usage" or whatever deems apt. And Bolton should be mentioned too, who obviously is the more prototypical example. It might be also useful to add who else has been called 'chickenhawk' in the past years; the currently (i.e. in the stable version) cited individual soon will sink into insignificance and oblivion. As for 's comment "Personal beliefs are not factual information": nobody says so. Attestation of usage however is factual information (these texts clearly exist, no?), and since it occurs in widely circulated media, also relevant factual information. –Austronesier (talk) 17:15, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

text: The editor that deleted the material has not replied here or elsewhere, or raised any other objections, so I have followed Austronesier's suggestions above. I did a search for the term at newspapers.com covering the last five years and was not able to identify any additional consistent examples of contemporary usage. There was one isolated reference to Ted Cruz, and the names of some more obscure individuals (Andy Barr, Jim Bognet) also appeared in isolated instances in the newspapers.

Talk:Enemy (disambiguation)

message: Editorial comment removed from the article:
Common parlance says that Peace is a lack of conflict.  Peace is more than that; peace is a state where conflicts are resolved in orderly, predictable ways that do not involve harming people.  Conflicts are normal, however, and are good, since a world without conflict would be very, very boring.  Where enemies are people, there is no peace.  Where enemies are injustice, iniquity, disease, and the ideologies themselves (not the holders of them), there can be peace.
-Montrealais
"The term is usually used within the greater context of war" -- please cite, or modify the article.
"Enemy is a strong word, evoking associations of hate, violence,
battle and war" -- it's possible to disagree with an enemy without hate, and not all battles involve violence.
--Awis 04:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I disagree with the disambiguation of this page. Although it may be a difficult concept to write about, "enemy" has a clear primary meaning that is not any of the TV episodes or song or album titles presented here. Enemies are important in literature (consider the rogues gallery of any comic book superhero), and the formation and concilation of enemy relationships is an import concept psychologically. bd2412 T 13:35, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: As far as I'm aware "Higher Still" is no more. The all-encompassing term is now "National Qualifications", which includes everything from Int1 to Advanced Higher (but not, irritatingly and confusingly, Standard Grade!) Mendor 21:02, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
Just as a minor point, I feel this the sentence should be changed:
"At the end of each unit (each about 40 hours long) students sit a very basic competency test."
The NAB is, normally, only at Grade C for science subjects and sometimes between grades A and B for other subjects. Unfortunately I have only what teachers have told me to go on so if anyone has any good sources... Basically I feel this sentence is slightly misleading. A Grade C does not necessarily mean 'very basic', it just means Grade C of the course and sometimes NABs can be fairly challenging. For example, in English, Close Reading NABs are rarely 'very basic', though it does depend very much on the particular test. Some of these tests are extremely easy but some are fairly difficult. Therefore I feel 'very basic' is too general as well.

message: From the article: "Other unsubstantiated and improbable suggestions have been made that it might derive from the similar sounding "Yr Hill" (as in The Hill) ..."
As a matter of interest, this "unsubstantiated and improbable suggestion" was made by the late Professor Bedwyr Lewis Jones, one of the leading authorities on Welsh place names. Still, what would he know compared to Wikipedia contributors, eh? Cantiorix 11:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Quickly searched for BLJ references to Rhyl but no results, please add and source this if you have any. Otherwise, I have re-contextualised this as problematic due to Rhyl's geography, I get a sense from the original wording that BLJ offered this as a "most likely suggested" in response to an ad-hoc question, rather than an academic theory.

thread_title: Name

message: When I started looking into the name my understanding of the word 'Rhyl' was a possibly archaic or rare and poetic word for a small, noisy river or brook, related to the etymology of the Rhondda rivers (as in the Song My little Welsh home which refers to "The magic music of the Rhyl"). I also thought there were other places (specificly watercourses) named Rhyl or Yr Rhyl in other parts of Wales but the only academic writing I have found refers exclusively to the Denbighshire town.
Was I wrong? Is "the magic music" referring to the Sun Centre? Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks in advance.

thread_title:  Chinese and Korean katas 

message: Many martial arts schools  present kata as merely a stepping stone to the next belt rank.  Students dutifully learn the kata without ever learning what the various moves actually do, or worse, learning incorrect or absurd applications.  This malpractice has resulted in legions of senior level martial artists who have no idea of the true value of kata.  These sensei do a disservice to their students.
Kata can be thought of as a "database" of martial art technique.  Every move in the kata shows the practicioner the proper angle and direction of strikes, joint manipulations, kicks, chokes, and throws.  Just about any imaginable self-defence technique that actually works can be found in kata, if not in one system then certainly in another.  For example, many Kempo self-defence techniques have their root in one or more of the Okinawan kata.  All jujitsu joint manipulation techniques can be found in the Okinawan kata, as well as ways to defeat those same techniques.
Kata by itself is fairly useless when practiced without understanding.  In order to make sense of what a particular move does, the student needs to be trained by someone who knows that the move is not just a "block", but rather a throw or strike.  Not understanding the real applications of kata is why some styles persist in teaching such silliness as "X-blocks", or thinking that a forearm "block" will stop a roundhouse kick.  In the styles that value kata, every move is a powerful and elegant technique that never meets force with force.
Many kata moves do look absurd when viewed without understanding the true meaning of the move.  Most Japanese karate schools have created absurd explanations to match the absurd appearance.  But the true meaning of the move is seldom anything like the contrived meaning, and ususally does something entirely different (not to mention brutally effective) from what it appears to be doing.  Students will only learn this if taught by a knowledgable sensei.  But once they understand the true application, performing the kata becomes something much richer than a vaguely silly means to advance to the next belt rank.
Please perfect to NPOV (remove words such as silliness) and re-add after building consenseus
