message: I noticed someone's listed this article for speedy deletion. I am the creator of this article. I just finished an article on Cao Chun's brother Cao Ren and will be working on this article next week. 
This article should not be deleted. Cao Chun was a real historical figure under the great third century warlord Cao Cao. Even though his role in the history of the period was minor, he was present at a number of significant military encounters and is a part of Chinese folklore. There are a lot of articles about modern American personages who are a lot more insignificant. (see for example, Jimmy Ryan or Luke Wilson)

message: I agree with User:Barlafus's compromise version. The party would be better described as historically "big tent" (until 2000), "centre-right" (2000–2013) and "right-wing" (since 2013). Some sources describe it as "far-right", but they are certainly inaccurate: that position should be mentioned in the article's text and possibly in a note to the infobox, but not in the infobox itself. -- Checco (talk) 06:15, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

"In 2011, a LN politician gave away hundreds of one-kilo bags of cornmeal for polenta, which is a food that originated in the Americas and he associated with traditional Italian food, while making a statement against couscous, which is made from the same durum semolina wheat as Italian pasta and he associated with African immigrants. Lega Nord endorsed bans on restaurants that do not serve traditional Italian food."
I think the marketing is fun and earned every bit of attention he got from the media.
Also, while that was (I assume) a one-time event, the fact that LN wants to require restaurants to serve traditional Italian food is not just a one-time event.   WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:41, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Point Pegasus or Port Pegasus? 

message: "The people of these islands are also exempt from requirements to pay taxes, yet still receive government welfare and other services. This reflects the long-running tension between the desire of the government to retain the islands (which have major strategic importance), and the growing awareness amongst the islanders of their unique respective cultures and languages. Whether this conflict can be resolved peacefully remains to be seen." Is any of this true?
"A third, more controversial suggestion, has been made by Gavin Menzies, author of the book 1421: the Year China Discovered the New World. His contention, that many of the southern place-names in New Zealand show collateral evidence for the impact of cometary debris in the 1420s, has not gained widespread scientific acceptance."

replies: text: Another issue to consider is that we should be letting reliable, third-party sources call out these references. It's not enough for a movie or band to mention Giles Corey.

replies: text: I wouldn't say I have a specific source, though Giles Corey has its own wiki page with about 20 sources, though some are closer to primary. I'd say naming an indie band popular enough to justify a wiki pagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giles_Corey_(band) is notable enough, given that a lot of the references are from pretty reputable sources (ie., sputnikmusic, wired, independent.)

replies: text: Keep in mind that Wikipedia is based on what reliable, third-party sources say and not our own research or opinions. Yes, Giles Corey (band) meets our notability requirements for bands, but that doesn't mean we can then say whatever we want about it. As our policy WP:NOT says, "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information" and that "[t]o provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources". So we'd really need reliable, third-party sources to make that connection for us to mention it in this article. Woodroar (talk) 14:24, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: True enough. I guess what I mean is that some people follow journalists who use "saw" instead of using the past tense of the active verb in the sentence. In this case, using "saw" avoids having to form the past tense of "increase". Using the past tense of "increase" is simpler and clearer than using an unrelated verb "to see" and turning "increase" into a noun. Ground Zero | t 01:03, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Quoted in the Washington Times:
:"To paraphrase Karl Rove, Democrats and Republicans have fundamentally different views on national security," said Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Bill Burton. "For example, Republicans think we should outsource national security to a state used by 9/11 hijackers as an operational and financial base. Democrats think we should not." 
If he's a spokesman, then I assume this is an official Democratic Party position.
The Democrats seem to be asserting that letting the UAE buy the port management firm from the British company would outsource national security to the UAE.
Is this common knowledge, or is it a matter of dispute? I seem to recall the White House or the Pentagon saying that the port managament firm is not involved in security at all. There would thus seem to be two opposing views (split along the usual party lines). --Uncle Ed 14:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
