Talk:Judge Advocate General (Canada)

message: I was hoping to learn what the name is all about.  I wasn't aware Canada had a person or office called this, until I saw it on one of the news scrolls.
One question I have is: As the role of Judge is mutually exclusive with the role of Advocate, how did these two concepts end up in this name?
What is the history of this position, and what is meant by the individual words in it? 24.57.218.21 (talk) 21:36, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Patriot mythology

message: Do sources actually refer to this concept as "Patriot mythology"? That's a pretty strong misuse of the term mythology. If that's what it's actually most commonly called, fine, but if it's some neologism coooked up by the article writer that really has to go. DreamGuy 03:12, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I added the npov and original research tags because the article does not establish that the term "patriot mythology" is anything other than one person's term for a vaguely-defined concept. This article should definitely be rewritten and possibly deleted. Paul 00:04, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  NPOV/Original research 

message: I put the tags back on. Tags should a) not be summarily deleted and b) removed only when some improvement has been made to the article. There are still no sources or references cited, only "examples" of what the author thinks constitute "patriot mythology." I'd be happy to help improve the article, please let me know if you would like to work together on it. Paul 18:21, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is problematic, because many sites that use the phrase "patriot mythology" are themselves pushing legal nonsense (that's the term professional lawyers use), and using the phrase to distance themselves from other sources. But I'll work on it. Gazpacho 21:34, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

text: I decided that a merge to Christian Patriot made the most sense. That way I can write about the myths without labelling them. If you have any doubts that the patriot movement believes any of these claims, there is plenty of evidence at the militia watchdog site (the one with "Idiot Legal Arguments"), including letters and publications from the movement.

Talk:John Newton (soldier)

message: John Newton was an important enough national figure in the United States for the citizens of Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, and Texas to name counties after him, as well as towns of indeterminate number.

message: It's nice to find here more people who've noticed and been interested in the Jasper-Newton-Marion coincidence.  I have done most of my searching on-line (as that's so easy now) but, over the years, I've never been able to find any better investigations, of the Parson Weems connection to fictionalizing the stories of these characters, than the half-a-century-old American Heritage article (although there must be plenty of still non-indexed material in general off-line.)  And, yes, I've read the actual piece rather than just relying on the on-line version.  Thanks for creating these pages in the first place.  It's entertaining reading all the happy claims by people in Newtons totally oblivious to the real background.  But then I've been told flat-out, by people running historical societies and historical museums, that 1) history is boring, while historical fiction is interesting, and 2) that truth & accuracy don't matter; colorful stories are all that's important.  Yet I'm still in several (other) historical societies.  IanHistor 18:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:XHTML MP

message: Should we be listing much information on v1.2 without making a separate section for it? If 1.2 info is listed, It'd be nice if there were some explanation about whether it's a working draft or an actual recommendation. And if it's an actual recommendation, why is the v1.2 DOCTYPE broken (see below)? I'd like to think that OMA wouldn't be recommending a standard that we can't run validators against.
This issue makes me hesitant as to whether the 1.2 and 1.0 info should be meshed together without some explanation. I've temporarily commented-out a large chunk of the 1.2 info until this is sorted out. -Gamol 21:59, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

The "XHTML MP Specification" (see the External Links section) shows version 1.2 of the DOCTYPE, but the URL it contains is broken. Since it doesn't link to an existing DTD, this DOCTYPE can't be used by validators and probably shouldn't be used in documents either.
As of now, this article contains the version 1.0 DOCTYPE. The openmobilealliance.org's own website appears to endorse this in its Technical Section (v1.0 is listed and v1.2 is absent). Until this changes, I think the article should stick with 1.0. — Gamol 04:17, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  only for comedic use? 

message: There are a few things I would like to do. I want to add a new section/heading to the term about the origin of the phrase "spit-take." 
As part of this, I will remove the sentence "In this context, the word "take" is used in the sense of taking in information. It is similar in construction to the phrase "double-take"." from the first paragraph and include it under the origin section.
On an unrelated note, "(not to be confused with the Oxford English Dictionary)" seems unnecessary to include. Feel free to correct me on that. Similarly, the inclusion of Albert Brooks' short film doesn't sit well with me. There are no doubt countless examples of the spit-take in various media. It would take far too long to include them all on this page, so it seems strange to include any examples here (especially given the example skit found below).
In addition to the origin section, I am considering the idea of an etymology section.

replies: text: I'm fairly certain that catching fish is not a typical use by male fiddler crabs for their large claw. In the first place, their mouth parts are not designed to tear flesh or eat fish meat, so catching a fish would not be useful to them in that regard. In the second place, fiddler crabs are semi-terrestrial, and tend to live above the water not in it. There are no semi-terrestrial fish (even lungfish don't qualify as semi-terrestrial).

message: There was a line in this article about Abraham Lincoln getting his nickname, "Honest Abe", because of his impartiality in refereeing cockfights. I have removed it for now. There are two issues. The first is whether he participated in such fights at all. The second is whether his participation in those fights is what earned him his nickname. The second part is the most unlikely to be provable because of all of the other instances of his honesty that have been told. It is likely that he got the name because of many instances of honesty rather than getting it through cockfighting alone. Therefore, if you could prove that he did participate in the fights, the best you could probably say is that it may have been a factor in him getting his nickname.
