message: Bruce Cummings is cited once to claim that "Soviet soldiers also committed rape against both Japanese and Korean women alike in the northern half of the Korean peninsula." 
However, the rest of the cited work completely contradicts many other claims in the "War Crimes" section. Firstly, he claims that "many Koreans participated in the looting of Japanese colonials and Korean 'capitalists'" which goes against the section's portrayal of a monolithic occupier and victim country without attention to class and other intra-society nuances. 
Cummings also says that the carrying off of industry in Korea was "widely believed" but had "no evidence," noting that only "a few removals" happened and cites the Pauley Commission. I think if Wikipedia's going to cite the most reputable scholar in this section as it pertains to Korea, it should accurately represent his full view. 
Bruce Cummings, "The North Wind," in The Origins of the Korean War: Liberation and the Emergence of Separate Regimes, 388-389
Lastly and applicable to the entire section, the sourcing is quite outdated. It seems like someone favoured a biased quantity-over-quality approach with mostly pre-1991 scholarship, short encyclopedia entries, and the Christian Science Monitor. In my opinion the section should be rewritten. Deorientalist (talk) 16:12, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Downtown

message: In the article, it talks about Manhattan and how uptown would be north because that is up on the map given that north is usually at the top and how there is some confusion because some cities have uptowns that are south of downtown.
In my city, Winnipeg, there is a fort called Upper Fort Gary which is up river (and south) from a fort called Lower Fort Gary - their names coming from the flow of the river. (Or the terms ‘upper Egypt’- to the south but higher ground than ‘lower Egypt’ to the north)
Obviously in Manhattan the Hudson and the east river flow south, so lower Manhattan would be down river and anything up river would be upper or higher.
I don’t know but I was expecting to see something like this in the explanation of downtown verses uptown. 
Surely people’s understanding of higher or ‘up’ ground and low or ‘down’ ground predates the convention of North being at the top of the page?
But I don’t know. Kathrynstemler (talk) 05:01, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I am aware of the general usage of "up" and "down" in connection with water currents - not just rivers, either: on Cape Cod one goes "down Cape" to Provincetown by traveling north, because the ocean currents run that way.  It's the same in Maine.  However, I've never seen anyone connect this to "downtown" as the name for the core of a city or its central business district.  Do you have a source which connects the two?

text: I'd agree on that one, it's obviously got some literary background, but what makes it original - apart from the amazing acting and photography - is the way Bergman subverts the stock-in-trade "laughing at people growing older" and so on. He brings the women to the center, both the younger ones and Miss Armfelt who is no longer in her first prime (although she looks good and is not lacking in belief in herself) and picks up on issues of female self-esteem vs aging, how to avoid falling into a pit of middle age misery without denying that you do age, finding the courage within you to love. That was rare in a film (or even in stage theatre) at the time, and it's still unusual and rewarding now; the cult of nubile tweenies pushes this kind of questions aside.Strausszek (talk) 22:26, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Race denial

message: Please enlighten me as to why a redirect is not appropriate.
First, regarding the disputed accuracy: avoid weasel terms. "Many competent scientists"—who? "Relevant fields"—which? Cite your sources.
Second, regarding POV: "race denial", as far as my Google searches can tell, is a term exclusively used  in the pejorative, to imply that those who indeed hold that the concept of race is flawed are deluding themselves or others for the sake of political correctness. If such is the case, it should be mentioned, and race denial should not be presented as a neutral concept.
Most importantly, however—what does this article add to the matter that race does not, and why can't race be updated to reflect it? 82.92.119.11 00:00, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ummm 

message: This is in origin a regional saint, with a cult in Switzerland and southern Germany.
Now, Orthodox churches have the tradition to accept early Christian saints by default, 
e.g. in the case of emigrant communities, in this case in Switzerland, that would include the veneration of local saints. 
However, there is no indication of any tradition of veneration in either Eastern or Oriental Orthodox tradition.
For some reason, apparently, relics of Verena were transferred to Egypt in 1986.
This is certainly notable, but we would need more information of how this peculiar transaction came about. Did her cult somehow spread beyond Switzerland/Germany already before modern times, or is this entirely a product of the recent establishment of emigrant Orthodox churches in the west?

replies: text: Yes, the number of trunk roads has been greatly reduced, so should be a manageable task to list them. I wouldn't have thought that there is a single list anywhere (especially as Scottish, Welsh and English trunk roads are all administered by different organisations), so might have to collate from various sources. this was the situation in England near the end of 2004 but a few of those may have now been de-trunked. IIRC, all (or close to all) primary routes in scotland are trunk.Richard B 19:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trunk Roads 

message: Actually, we could do with adding "(Great Britain)" to each and every one of the road names in :Category:Roads in the United Kingdom. The reason is that this numbering system is used by other countries, leading to dab pages and renaming. So either we're proactive and rename the lot, consistently, or we let each person who comes across this lot (like me, trying to fix A2 road!) chose their own renaming.

The Compton wavelength doesn't have anything to do with gravity, a priori, since it doesn't contain the gravitational coupling G. Of course, when you substitute in a Planck mass for m, it does, because the Planck mass depends on Newton's constant. --Joke137 17:46, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Robert R. Wilson

message: Fact check: "Only in his late twenties, he was the youngest group leader at the site.". Feynman was 24 or 25, and he was also a group leader under Bethe. If you wish to say that Wilson occupied a much higher post than Feynman (which I think he did; I don't exactly remember), you should fix up the above statement as it may give a false impression right now. Feynman was certainly the youngest group member in the theoretical division-Ashujo
:The full paragraph is: "When Robert Oppenheimer's secret centralized laboratory for war research on the atomic bomb—Los Alamos—opened in 1943, Wilson was appointed as head of the Cyclotron Group (R-1) by Oppenheimer. Only in his late twenties, he was the youngest group leader at the site." That is, when he arrived/was appointed, he was the youngest group leader at the site, I'm fairly sure. Anyway, if you want to find some other way to say this (if we add "youngest group leader in the experimental division," that would probably work, though sounds overqualified), feel free.
