message: I know it's short, but what else COULD be added to this article? Epachamo 22:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What about its history. Why is it called MacTutor for example? I had a vague memory that it started on HyperCard database and a google search turned up this link . So its not just a web site about mathematical biography, its a whole hypercard stack about mathematics in general. Billlion 14:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Fon of Bafut

message: "Bafut is one of the two regions in Cameroon (the other being Bali, Cameroon), where traditional power structures are still in place."
This isn't very specific, and on its own the sentence is very innacurated as traditional governments are still in place throughout the North-West province and in most of Cameroon.  Do the Fons of Bafut and Bali retain more powerful roles than other Fons?  If so this should be specified.
:Hi, Nick. I think that you are right. What the contributor probably meant is that the fons of Bali and Bafut hold more power in their dominions than fons in other parts of Cameroon. This is definitly something that needs to be footnoted. (By the way, don't forget to sign your comments by typing ~~~~.) — BrianSmithson 22:25, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:UNITE HERE

message: I have added internal links to Wikipedia pages about each of the major industries represented by UNITE HERE - hotels, textiles, laundries and casino gaming.
I also added some information about the coordinated expiration of UNITE HERE collective bargaining agreements in a number of cities this year (2006). This was also reported on recently by Harold Meyerson in the Washington Post: "Taking on the Hotels"
Update 1/22/06- I also added a brief section on Yale University, with a link to the separate Wikipedia article on the Graduate Employees & Students Organization (GESO). GESO is affiliated with UNITE-HERE so I thought it would be appropriate. I also created a separate subheading for the "Hotel Bargaining" material I previously added yesterday.
12/25/06. Someone needs to add something about the Amalgamated Bank, which is owned by UNITE HERE.
12/27/06. Also, we need something about the Yale grad union and Culinary 226, 2 of the strongest parts of the union that produce a large number of the union's organizers.
5/22/07 It seems that this page has not been updated since 2006, at least in some sections. Someone with knowledge of the union's major activities in the last six months should update the relevent information.
Undid recent changes in an attempt to make the article relatively neutral again. Serimph 04:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Indian Register

message: I remember reading in Thomas King's book A Native Narrative, published as part of the Massey Lectures series, that the definition of a status Indian was such that over time, over a few generations, no one would qualify under the definition. Does anyone know more about this? -Tubby
Yes - when status Indians have children with non-Indians, those children can only pass on Indian status if they have children with an Indian.  If they have children with a non-Indian, those children will not be eligible for Indian status.  As Status Indian marry or have children with non-Indians, their eligibility for status is "diluted".  Over time (100 years or so) this will lead to a decline in the Indian population.
:You're wrong for one thing, the way it worked was if your father was Indian, you were Indian; if your mother was Indian but your father white (or whatever), you were white (or whatever).  But also wrong re population decline; native birth rates are higher than non-native and despite suicide and other problems their numbers have been on the rise....and more and more people are discovering native ancestry and self-identifying as native; so rather the opposite has happened; and now in Canada as of this native numbers doubled overnight.Skookum1 (talk) 16:41, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge discussion 

message: Everything added in this SIX YEAR OLD EDIT is, a) still in the article, and b) POV garbage. Nobody in Canada has a "right to bear arms", let alone are there degrees of such a "right"; in reality, there are accommodations in the law for indigenous people who can't read English or French, for those who don't personally own a firearm, and for children under 12 years of age engaged in traditional hunting with their families. "Extended hunting season" is similarly flawed and incorrect.
</br></br>The fact that this editor deigned to use well-trod far-right dog whistles like "freedom", "taxes" and "government interference" in ignorant, incorrect and inflammatory ways seems to show that they were trying to elicit a certain kind of reaction from readers, perhaps in furtherance of a political agenda. If another editor could rewrite the lede less, er, let's say mendaciously, that would be great. Thanks.

Talk:Nation of Yahweh

message: This article is a huge mess.  virtually every statement of fact is POV and unsourced.  For example:
While they do have their own propaganda materials, much of their main source of information is based on the King James Bible, both the Old and New Testament. However, the Nation of Yahweh's interpretation is quite different from that of Jews or Christians.
Propaganda materials?  Could you get any more POV?  Also the use of the term cult is innapropriate in any encyclopedia entry since it is an inherent value judgement.  The proper term would be New Religious Movement , often abbreviated as NRM.  Of course, of the group in question has been linked to extreme views and activities, you are welcome to document those with cited sources and NPOV language.  As it is written, this article should be tagged.Lisapollison 04:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  RfC 

message: Is - in context -Many Black Israelite groups like the Nation of Yahweh practice a theology that is a kind of color-reversed version of the religion of white supremacist Christian Identity groups, which consider Aryans the "true Hebrews" and people of color soulless animals. Neo-Nazi Tom Metzger, leader of White Aryan Resistance, has said of such black supremacist groups, "They're the black counterpart of us."
Although in recent years Nation of Yahweh literature has played down the cult's racism and eliminated calls for violence, the group remains black supremacist and is heavily laced with anti-Semitism. Doug Weller talk 20:46, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

message: I have redirected this page to the page the material was originally broken out of, History of anatomy.  The text that was located here was part of a massive chunk of early 20th century encyclopedia text that was added in 2002 and has been largely untouched since then, although it has been split across articles on a number of occasions.  Based on this track record, I believe that this text, through its sheer volume, confusing-ness, and inapproachabillity, has been actively inhibiting progress on these articles, and I am redirecting accordingly.

Talk:List of most powerful locomotives

message: I noticed a recent edit war on this page. I want to attempt to resolve those issues by getting consensus on whether or not the article should be divided into 2 separate lists, divided by whether a given locomotive is of a single- or multi-frame design. Personally, I favor this change. I believe dividing the list this way would make the article easier for readers to "digest" the information by breaking it into smaller pieces. Further, I propose the list be further broken up by locomotive type (e.g., steam, diesel, electric, etc.) for the same reason.
I would also like to propose that the article revert to being under the name "List of largest locomotives" as I find this name is more representative of the overall scope of the article, with names like "...most powerful...", "...strongest-pulling...", etc. as redirects.
I hope we as editors can work together to make positive changes for this article, and work to avoid edit wars and vandalism. I apologize if this not the correct place or manner to discuss these changes, I have not edited Wikipedia articles for quite some time, so I am a bit out of practice.

Much more likely he was at least 13 since that’s the Frankish age of adulthood (however arbitary)
