Talk:Barry Cohen (politician)

message: I've made some changes to the sentence about Cohen's views on gay marriage, as there were some real NPOV issues. Considering that this is a biography of a living person, there should be more caution. I removed the references to his remarks being "controversial", as the source given was the article in question. Naturally, the article did not prophetically mention a controversy surrounding itself. If there was a controvery surrounding the article, no evidence was provided. Just because something is likely to stir controversy, doesn't mean that we can preemptively describe it as "controversial"; the word implies a specific reaction occured, and is more than a description of the nature of the content.
Secondly, I removed; "[he] compared same sex marriage with love for a pet and paedophilia". I'm wary of trying to analyse the article as that would be original research, but the two examples seem to be more illustrative points in a reductio ad absurdium, not to say that they were morally equivalent. Either way, to give that much weight to those two comparisons, there would have to be more reporting on those points in particular.
Lastly, I removed the section on the comparisons being criticised as logical fallacies. This was for the same reasons as my first removal. The source given was the article itself, which wasn't prophetic enough to become a source for its own criticism. If it was criticised as a logical fallacy (shouldn't it just be "fallacious"?), then reliable sources should be provided for this criticism. 
My suspicion is that the editor relied on the comments section for the article, but that would certainly not be a reliable source.--THobern 07:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Independent candidates in the 1977 Ontario provincial election

message: This page only lists one independent candidate despite there having been about 31 independents in the Ontario general election, 1977 per that article, and at least one other already has an article - Jim McMillan.
I suggest that a separate article should be created wherever a notable candidate stands. Independent candidates, 1977 Ontario provincial election should be renamed Willis Cummins, Independent candidates, 1979 Canadian federal election should be renamed Jim McMillan, Independent candidates, 1981 Ontario provincial election as Frank Esposito etc etc AndrewRT(Talk) 21:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:USS Montpelier

message: On the pages for the CL-57 and the SSN-765 they claim to be the second and third ships of that name in the US Navy (respectively), but there are only two ships listed here. After doing a bit of googling, I find that the original USS Montpelier was a German freighter, the "Bochum", which was seized in 1917 and renamed "Montpelier". It was then commissioned in the USN as the "USS Montpelier" in 1919 and used as a USN transport for the remainder of the year (apparently used to transport US troops back home). It would be nice if there was a page about it, or if it was at least listed on this page for those who were curious (like me).
I found a brief web page with this info and several photographs in it at http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-m/id1954.htm .
I would assume that since it's apparently a US government page, that the photos are in the public domain and everything. I don't see any reason why someone couldn't at least make a short article off the information on that page, if that's considered an acceptable reference. It's from the Department of the Navy - US Navy Historical Center, after all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs) 15:37, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

text: About two years ago, there was a controversy as to whether or not defeated candidates were sufficiently notable to receive their own biographies.  The list pages (organized by party) were designed as a compromise.  These candidates may have had diffuse views, but they were all independents -- that's ultimately the important thing.

Talk:Jürgen Ovens

message: The Danish Wikipedia does not mark him as German nor Danish, but as North-Frisian! Already early in the  seventeenth century the city of Tönning was rich because of the export of cheese, bacon, cattle or skins to Holland. In 1623 there were five goldsmiths and six private teachers in town.
In the area around Tönning lived a small group of Dutch Mennonites and since 1618 Arminians, who had fled the country and were involved reclaiming the wetland. Because of the Dutch farmers in the area, and the Dutch skippers or tradesmen that visited the area, Ovens might have been able to understand Dutch, before he moved to Amsterdam. The Mennonite or Arminian connection may have been important for his decision to move to Amsterdam. 
:So is it known if Ovens's family was one of those Dutch Mennonite families? Neddyseagoon - talk 14:10, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The regional history of Eastern OK is it was Indidan Territory, where the five tribal nations relocated in the Indian Removals of the 1820s and 1830s were located (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee or Creek, and Seminole), and the Osage (County) Indian Reservation north of Tulsa. Native Americans remain a sizable percentage of population in Eastern Oklahoma, but Hispanics or African-Americans are the largest ethnic or racial minorities there and in much of the state. The current tribal nations like the Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation, Creek Nation and Seminole Nation each are among the 10 largest federally recognized Native American tribes or nations in the USA. 67.49.89.214 (talk) 10:24, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Patented? 

message: I've taken a pass through the article to bring it into compliance with MOS:SAMESURNAME. That guideline says to use full names on first mention, then given names, which will bring a fair amount of clarity and consistency to this article. For example, the sentence "Turner trademarked the name in order to retain control of her rights" sounded like it must refer to Tina, but when you get to the next sentence, it becomes clear it was referring to Ike.--Trystan (talk) 18:15, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Sweet Transvestite

message: I took out the line about Frank not allowing Riff Raff to reveal they are aliens. No where in the song does it say they are from another planet.  It simply states he's from Transexual, Transylvania.  As far as Brad and Janet are concerned, he's from the country Transylvania and have no idea if there's a city called "Transexual" there or not.  Considering how naive and straight-laced the couple is written, this is plausible.  I mean, seriously, Janet asks Columbia if Frank is her husband. :) Circleof05ths (talk) 19:31, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[:File:{{Remove file prefix|Actinidia chinensis - Austins Ferry.jpg}}]] to appear as POTD soon 

message: The introduction claims that A. chinensis is a variety, with a wikilink to variety (botany). In that case it would have a trinomial name, such as A. chinensis var. edulis, and I couldn't find any indication that it is treated as a variety in the scientific literature. Accordingly I have removed "variety". Furthermore our article kiwifruit states that A. deliciosa, not A. chinensis, is the source of the common commercial kiwifruit, although A. deliciosa is also grown commercially; this is supported by the Ferguson reference cited also here.Jmchutchinson (talk) 18:33, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Monkey (slang)

message: I don't know how to revert to a previous version, but at least I got rid of the spam. --Drab Emordnilap 22:21, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This page is a mere list of dictionary definitions (something which Wikipedia is not).  It explains the alleged meaning of a number of slang usages or phrases containing the word "monkey".  I can't find any encyclopedic content on this page.  Nothing here rises past what I would expect to read in a truly great unabridged dictionary and all of the definitions here are already in the Wiktionary page.  The definitions and usage discussions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.
Options to fix the page here include:
# Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
# Redirect the page to a more general page on the appropriate sub-genre of slang.
# Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the  template).
Pending a better answer, I'm implementing option 3 for now. Rossami (talk) 23:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Volk Field Air National Guard Base

message: It makes sense to anybody to disperse your assets when they are under threat of attack, but dispersing interceptors to a small, remote base without a control tower was potentially dangerous in 1962.
I understand Doomsday was misleading though (although thrilling as hell). It gave the impression that an attack on the base would precede a nuclear attack. The mistake mentioned in the program was that the sentry was firing at an animal, not a saboteur, as the sentry discovered after making the radio call from the Jeep. I am discouraged that the program did not mention the miswiring of the saboteur alarm that was activated (and not by the sentry) after the radio call.Chris-marsh-usa (talk) 03:53, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
