thread_title:  Leeuwenhoek 

message: In the following sentence:
"Van Leeuwenhoek has been attributed as the first person to use a histological stain to color specimens observed under the microscope using saffron."
The word "attributed" is improperly used. "Acknowledged" would be more appropriate here. —Or perhaps the wording could be changed to: "The first use of a histological stain (he used saffron) to color specimens under the microscope has been attributed to van Leeuwenhoek." 2001:5B0:270F:3228:3147:99FB:E9E0:82FA (talk) 16:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

message: This article may wish elaborate on France's situation as she seems to be entirely out of this treaty, despite being a major nuclear power and a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

Talk:MKUltra

message: I would suggest adding or linking to some recent references to MKUltra in recent social media and propaganda materials. For instance, in this twitter image of a chat re children being removed from homes of adherents of Queen Didula Romana in Canada, children who reject the parents' beliefs are referred to as having fallen prey to MKUltra: https://twitter.com/MintTea778165/status/1742944212750901584/photo/3
It is apparently also being used as proof that the "Deep State" exists and is broadly manipulating people's behaviors and beliefs. The ramifications of both of these uses make MKUltra more than a historical footnote in current North American culture.  Closcholar (talk) 17:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The right way to do this is to find reliable secondary sources that specifically discuss this phenomenon. It's not appropriate to make broad claims by pointing at individual tweets or similar material, and even if we had a million similar tweets, we'd still need secondary sources to support any claims in this article to avoid original research.

Talk:Ethnic nationalism

message: Ethnic nationalism exist in many places but is most prevalent in ethnostates like most European countries and Japan. The two examples being Myanmar and the USA are strange because the Myanmar thing is mostly religious nationalism Buddhist vs muslim. The US is an okay example but the US is not a literal ethnostate. France, turkey, Scandinavia, Japan are all really extreme examples of ethnic nationalism 97.113.57.76 (talk) 16:49, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There are groups within those countries that are ethnonationalist, like zaitokukai in Japan. Calling an entire nation ethnonationalist should require objective measures though. While Japan takes pride in their culture, it's not very nationalistic in general and anti-imigration sentiment is actually extremely low (one of the lowest in the world). I'm concerned about perpetuating stereotypes and making cross-cultural understanding more difficult. Dplre (talk) 05:43, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Geography  

message: I propose merging Social Revolution into Revolution. As the two articles are structured, there is no difference in how revolution is understood and defined. If there are nuanced differences, then those differences can be fleshed out in Revolution. As it stands, the existing of two separate articles leads to duplicated content and worse article quality.

Talk:Amiga demos

message: I've taken the liberty of copyediting and wikifying the article. I also reorganized the demo list by putting it in its own section and separating the demos into sublists under the respective groups. I also made sure every group name is linked and that every reference to a year goes to the corresponding Wikipedia article, and I added " (demo group)" to the title in the link for any groups whose names are ambiguous. I also fixed the URL link in there. Finally, removed the copyedit tag.
Now you just need more content. :-) Ddawson 18:44, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Arthur Andersen

message: In the "Enron Scandal" section of this article there are these two extracts which pretty-much duplicate one another:
*Because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will not accept audits from convicted felons, the firm agreed to surrender its CPA licenses and its right to practice before the SEC on August 31, 2002—effectively putting the firm out of business. It had already started winding down its American operations after the indictment, and many of its accountants joined other firms. 
*In 2002, just nine months after the scandal broke, the firm was found guilty of crimes in the auditing of Enron. By that time, Arthur Andersen had lost most of its business and two-thirds of its 28,000 employees, and was facing multi-million dollar lawsuits. On August 31, 2002, the company surrendered its licenses to practice as certified public accountants in the United States, effectively putting the company out of business.
Is there any scope for merging them together, perhaps presenting the section chronologically? AndyJones (talk) 16:00, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

In line astern came the light cruisers Sydney, Melbourne and Encounter; then three small, whippet-thin destroyers: Parramatta, Yarra and Warrego, pleasingly named for Australian rivers.

thread_title: WTF People? 

message: This is totally stupid. It doesn't matter how many readers are looking for information on the US amendment, or whether "First Amendment" used unqualified on the internet tends to refer to the US one, this is no excuse for Wikipedia to pretend that the US is the most important country in the world and redirect "First Amendment", which should obviously be a disambig listing all the constitutions of the world's first amendments, to the US one. There are no doubt plenty of insular, half-witted American readers who expect that if they look up supreme court, declaration of independence or bill of rights they ought to find their country's versions of these documents prioritized over all others, but we don't indulge their idiocy. Grow up and move this one back and stop making this global encyclopedia look like an American nationalistic joke. Terminal emulator (talk) 18:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia does not take a pro-internationalist, politically-correct view; it doesn't take an insular, close-minded, pro-nationalist view either; instead, it strives for a neutral one, and in the case of navigation, a bit of a utilitarian one. And per above-cited policy/guidelines, prevalence of use is a quite relevant criterion. I honestly agreed with your position originally, but after reading the rules and doing the research, I reversed my opinion and hence proposed the move.

I was one of the very first users who started Wikipedia. In the old Wikipedia system before they switched to custom software in 2002(?) I was user number 118. I made literally thousands of edits. Then they replaced the platform and the records of all previous edits were lost.
This is a link to an article  that talks about me creating the page for evolution.

 I also created the initial pages for Gay Rights and many other controversial pages.
I’m a studying the Holocaust and want to help with those pages but many of them are locked due to vandalism. Please consider making an exception for me so I can do that. 
You can also check out my Twitter, @DrDavidInDC, where I’ve made many tweets about the Holocaust.
