replies: text: This picture was taken by a Chinese staff working for Hearst media. It appeared in Oct.4 1937 issue of LIFE and was reprinted in LIFE at War (which I have). Frank Capra has nothing to do with this. And it was not taken as "part of the the Battle of China" in 1943 like Hare-Yukai likes to repeat. He apparently knows nothing about this and continues vandalizing this page with incorrect info and duplications. And no, hare-yukai is not Japanese. He's some confused kid from Taiwan. And he likes to repeatdly post the "Fake of Nanking" fan-made video with absolutely no documentation whatsoever as a legitimate source, which is not allowed on wikipedia either.

Talk:Kaʻahumanu

message: Where was she really buried at. In FindaGrave it say she is buried in Wailoa Cemetery in Lahaina, [[Maui] where many Maui chiefs were moved from their former burial place on Moku‘ula. But, it was said that Gerrit P. Judd, during 1843, used her coffin as a desk to write to the government of England complaining of Captain Paulet who had taken over the islands. Judd was in Honolulu on Oahu not at Lahaina on Maui. The coffin was located at Pohukaina, a coral house on the Iolani Palace grounds. Later all the royals and high chiefs at Pohukaina was moved to Mauna Ala. So, where is Kaahumanu buried in Wailoa or Mauna Ala?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.21.2 (talk) 03:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Kaahumanu was not only the king's favorite wife but also the most powerful, as according to the indigenous Hawaiian religion she great amount of mana in her time .  I never thought Kaahumanu had the most mana.  I think it was Queen Keopuolani who was the most sacred consort, Kaahumanu was just the most ambitious.  KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd agree.  Kaahumanu was influential because she was not only Kamehameha's favorite wife but she was the daughter of a chief who helped Kamehameha united the islands as well as his mother being a cousin to Kaahumanu's maternal grandmother.  Kaahumanu's father was also a 1st cousin to Kamehameha's mother.   But Keopuolani was his sacred wife because of her kapu which she inherited from both parents actually.

message: The description in the article seems to paint a positive light on this incident which others would equate with an unequal treaty imposed on Kaahumanu and the chief by a disgruntle American naval officer who wanted his fellow countrymen's money back and be given special privelege in Hawaii; the only difference in these treaties and the Chinese unequal treaties of the time is that land wasn't given away. And one more thing John Quincy Adams had no part in the treaty and it fails to mention the actual American that signed the document Thomas ap Catesby Jones.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 10:38, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: possible mistake??

message: There were over 15,000 people who have played in major league baseball and just being one of those people should not qualify someone for an article, although I know currently the policy does.  We really need to change the policy that states any athelete that played professionally qualifies for "notable".  Professional includes the minor league level of all sports.  Does someone who played Single-A baseball really qualify as notable for that reason alone.  I'm sure it's interesting to the author because he/she share the same last name but not to most others.  The article is also poorly referenced with poor sources and is simply not written well.  Let us work together to get that "professional athelete" policy changed.

message: The article currently states that "the Giants signed him for $35,000." "Signed him" would normally be taken to mean that he received the $35,000. But a write up about him in the Feb/24/1947 Life Magazine says his contract was purchased from Minneapolis for that sum (plus four players).

This other structure is quite popular in functional programming circles, being used for sets and maps in MIT Scheme, Slib and Haskell libraries. What is described on this page seems to be the optimal binary search tree rather than the weight-balanced one.
I'm planning to end this confusion by replacing the present article by one based on the weighted trees of the references above. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 08:38, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

message: The term "post-classical" is controversial not mainstream. It's a recent invention by American professors authoring K-12 textbooks for publishers selling books to the public school system with mandates to be politically correct (equal) on issues of ethnicity. I challenge anyone here to find mainstream history sources that use this term for Southeast Asian history, who are not themselves World History practitioners. The article post-classical history is mostly the effort of a single Wikipedia editor using a lot of these world history textbooks. Wikipedia shouldn't be shoehorned into a minority POV as if it were mainstream. What do the world's best experts on this topic call it?

message: Can somebody verify this? I think it's kind of sketchy.
:In a nutshell, Square owns Mallow. Paper Mario was originally titled Super Mario RPG 2.
 However, because of Square's involvement in the original game, direct sequels were not legally  possible without Square's permission and/or involvement, so the title was changed, although the development of the game mechanic itself went for the most part unaltered. Geno was featured in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, albeit in doll form. This is the only instance of a character originating from Super Mario RPG in another game.

message: "Scottish-Canadian culture with its strange traditions of men wearing kilts, carrying swords, playing bagpipes and eating exotic foods"
Could this be written any more inaccurately and/or impugning of Scottish heritage?
1) Drop the "-Canadian" out of this, because with the rest of the line the writer really seems to be going for what is initially specifically Scottish heritage ... unless there's a Canadian kilt/sword/bagpipe/exotic-food period I don't know about.
2) WTF is U with "strange"?!?!  Every heritage has aspects that is "strange" to some other people somewhere.  By using "strange" IMO it lessons Scottish heritage, not to mention writes opinion into a Wikipedia article.
3) Check the whole "men" thing ... In fact, launch and rework the whole kilt/sword/bagpipe/exotic-food crud ... that's about the weakest, Hollywood-based writing I've seen yet on Wikipedia.  Why not just write 'Scottish heritage' and leave it at that.
