Category talk:Chadian rebels

message: As of December 25 2006 this category contains ten individuals.  All but one of them were adults, and are alleged to be leaders of Chadian rebel groups.
 Which of these guys is not like the others?
*Mohammed Nour Abdelkerim
*Abdelwahit About
*Ahmat Acyl
*Muhammad Hamid Al Qarani	
*Mohamed Baghlani
*Idriss Déby
*Yaya Dillo Djérou		
*Hassan Abdallah Mardigue
*Ahmed Hassan Musa
*Aboubakar Abdel Rahmane
Muhammad Hamid Al Qarani was not an adult, when he was captured.  He was just fourteen years old when he was captured.  The USA offered a bounty program.  $5000 for any foreigner turned in, in Afghanistan, or Pakistan.  Al Qarani was caught up in a "round up the usual suspects" campaign, where the sole thing that made him the target of suspicion was that he was an African in Pakistan.
Note: The American allegations against him don't accuse him of being a member of any Chadian groups.  They do accuse him of being associated with al Qaeda, and the Taliban -- but not any Chadian groups.  He was not living Chad, prior to traveling to Pakistan.  He was living in Saudi Arabia, where his parents were guest workers.
And the alleged association with al Qaeda seems to be based on the allegation that he worked with Abu Qatada, in London, when he was attending grade school in Saudi Arabia.
If he is going to remain in this category, then, IMO, it should be renamed.  Maybe something like :Category:Chadians alleged to be associated with terror.

Talk:Daniel G. Birmingham

message: ::I removed the propsed deletion tag for two reasons,
:::1) The concern listed is that the person was non-notable, personally I think being chairman of a county legislature certainly makes you notable. 
:::2) The explanation goes on to say that if the article was improved, the tag should be removed. If a person is non-notable than no amount of improved writing will make them notable. The article does need improvement, but bad writing does not make the person non notable.EMT1871 10:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, the "if the article is improved" bit is a standard part of the template.  It's there no matter what the reason the prodder gives for deletion and cannot be removed.

replies: text: It was not replaced.  Articles for deletion (or AFD for short) is different than proposed deletion.  In AFD, there's a discussion over whether or not the article should be deleted.

Talk:The Actors

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.  No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 21:20, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Hoʻoponopono

message: Section  Etymology included the following sentence: 
:Literally, hoo is a particle used to make an actualizing verb from the following noun, as would "to" before a noun in English. 
This is patently incorrect, e.g. (the prefixed asterisk is linguistic notation for an incorrect form): 
* *to  car
* *to  temperature
* *to  cat
* *to  lamp
* *to  banana
are not verbs. Some such derived verbs do exist, but the process is by no means automatic like suffixing "-ing" to form the present participle of a verb. I have deleted the bolded text.

And it would never end!
Prouty should be the subject of a biography on him, not the object. I could make an exception for someone higher ranking than him, such as a President, Supreme Court Justice, Ambassador, Pope, etc. But even then, the remarks should be more or less contemporaneous with his life.Student7 03:15, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
