thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: I came to this article because I am writing an essay on standards-based assessment as part of my study towards a Masters degree. I was disappointed to find that it held a strong bias towards standards-based assessment and made no effort to outline some of the criticisms of the method (and there are many, many criticisms).
Equally annoying was the fact that the article assumes that all readers are citizens of the United States of America, a country which does not, by any means, hold a monopoly on the use of standards-based assessment. How about the UK? New Zealand? Most countries in western Europe?
A disappointment...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.240.61.2 (talk) 04:33, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV 

message: I am an education researcher and to read this article one would think that standards based tests are non multiple choice tests. Standards based testing has nothing to do with the question format of the test and indeed, virtually all (probably all) of the state standards tests administered in the US are almost entirely multiple choice with a few free response (non multiple choice) questions. But this combination of question types has nothing to do with standards based testing. It has been popular for all tests because it allows most of the test to be machine graded and at the same time provides validation of those results with a sample of non multiple choice questions. In any event, test format (multiple choice vs free response) is independent of standards based testing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.149.134 (talk) 11:33, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:LGBT rights in Europe

message: A clique of editors seem to be implementing a purge of any mentionings of notable LGBTQ Ukrainians and LGBTQ activism in Ukraine.
In particular, the corresponding section in the List of people from Ukraine listing notable LGBTQ Ukrainians and Ukrainian LGBTQ activists with Wikipedia pages, has been first censored and then completely purged by this clique of editors, under the obviously false pretext of such entries in the list being "unecyclopedic"(!).
Please review the following revision history, between July 27 and July 29, 2020 , https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_people_from_Ukraine&action=history .
The purged list of notable LGBTQ Ukrainians and Ukrainian LGBTQ activists is as follows:
LGBTQ Ukrainians, pro-European and pro-Western LGBTQ Ukrainian activists
* Bogdan Globa 
* Mike Enzi – US Senator from Wyoming 
* Maurice Hinchey – former New York Congressman (Ukrainian mother)
* Volodymyr Horowitz 
* Olha Kobylianska
* Alla Nazimiv - US Ukrainian actress, also known as an active member of the Hollywood LGBTQ community
* Anna Sharyhina - influential Ukrainian lesbian, LGBTQ leader
* Stav Strashko - distinguished Ukrainian Israeli transgender actress, passionate advocate of transgender lifestyle in Ukraine
* Edward Tarletski - Belarusian-Ukrainian LGBTQ activist
Please help to monitor and report the disruptive anti-LGBTQ editors and please help to edit List of people from Ukraine so that it objectively reflects the role of the LGBTQ people in the past, current and future Ukrainian politics, life, arts and science!

Keep the "Quitclaim deed" article and change this one to a re-direct.  Also, redirect "Quick claim deed" to "Quitclaim deed".Kgrr 17:28, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I am an attorney; the correct phrase is quit claim deed.   I suggest keeping the "Quit Claim Deed" article and then re-directing both Quick Claim Deed and Quitclaim Deed" to "Quit Claim Deed".  18:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

text: From my understanding of this issue, the term is sometimes hyphenated (quit-claim), sometimes written as one word (quitclaim) and is sometimes written as two words (quit claim).  The actual legally preferred term varies from state to state and country to country, but most jurisdictions would honor any of these spelling variations. It is also often mistakenly spoken or written as quick-claim, quickclaim and quick claim. My suggestion is that all six terms point to a single, merged article, entitled something like "Quitclaim or Quit Claim Deed (often mistakenly pronounced quick claim)".

thread_title: Producer of Kind of Blue

message: There is a certain irony in Gyrofrog's removal of the Explorations album cover art. That cover art belongs to a Spanish reissue of the album, released there because Spain's copyright laws allow the record to be commercially released without any approval from, or payment to, the original artists, producer, or US record company (including Mr. Macero, the subject of this article). While we Wikipedians are rightfully vigilant about fair use and other copyright violations, it's ironic that in this case we're dealing with something that ethically, if not legally, flies in the face of those very same protections.

message: I have issues with the affirmation that Berg stayed in Miles Davis' band only "for a short period", which is somewhat derogatory, considering he played with Miles for 3 years, from 1984-1987, which is actually a lot longer than some of the other (also great) saxophonists that succeeded Bob, like Gary Thomas or Rick Margitza, who only stayed for a few months. Even Bill Evans, who preced Berg, stayed for a shorter period.
So I propose to change "the short period" to "from 1984 to 1987" as it is on french and german language Wikipedia pages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.113.82.51 (talk) 17:57, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
