message: What happenened to the section that spoke of the Fair's rich culture on a national scale?  Apparently somebody ripped it out completely.  The section stated its national significance, vast media attention and honors, and inspiration for the movie State Fair.  Included was mention of being one of the 1,000 things to do before you die.

message: The article looks like an advertisement to me and it uses the official website too much, so I added Template:Advertisement and Template:Primary sources. JRStutler reverted this, so I think a consensus needs to be reached about it.  The Attractions section is particularly bad, but everywhere needs a lot of work. I'm not saying the event isn't notable, but I do think it needs to be heavily rewritten. Quotes:
*""Nothing Compares" to 11 days of food, fun and family!" in the intro
*"Since 1854, the Iowa State Fair has been entertaining Iowans on a yearly basis with only a few exceptions."
*The entire Attractions section, just look at it
*The unnecessarily long list of famous people in Concerts
It can all be rewritten, but before someone does any of that, consensus should be settled for whether it does actually look like an advertisement or not. –Ugncreative Usergname (talk) 15:46, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Sorei

message: When I came across the word sorei I noticed that the Japanese
Wikipedia had an entry for it, but the Engish wikipedia lacked one. It seemed 
an easy solution to simply translate the Japanese version, but unfortunately 
the Japanese article had no references at all.
After consideration I decided however that it really needed some references. 
Also the Japanese article  contained a controversial opinion without any comment 
on that. Therefore I rewrote the article entirely, leaving out material for 
which I could not find references. For the assertion by Yanagita Kunio I  only
could find an English reference; it still needs a citation for the 
Japanese text where Yanagita made his claim, using the word sorei 
(which is not mentioned by e.g. Bernier, who uses the word spirit). 
Please feel free to try and substantiate other bits of the Japanese article
(I put my translation in userspace:   translation of 祖霊), e.g. the claim that the word or idea dates back to the 
Jomon period, or that it is used in its current meaning in either the 
Nihonshoki or Kojiki and where exactly.

Talk:Warsaw (village), New York

message: "The village and the town may be named after Warsaw in Poland." To have this sentence uncited sounds like personal speculation. In my opinion, it ought to be cited or removed.

replies: text: How deep does it have to be to be called deep? 50 feet? 500 feet? 5000 feet? Deep to someone in Kansas may be different from deep to someone near the Grand Canyon. It's subjective and vague language, rather than factual and encyclopedic. I think it would be more useful to include an actual depth and put it into context with the rest of the geography. --JBC3 (talk) 23:01, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deep valley? 

message: Notwithstanding the above dispute about how deep the valley is, there is no arguing with the fact that the approach to the village from the east involves descending a very steep, very long hill, at the bottom of which is a sharp curve posted (the last I was through there) 15 miles per hour. 
There is a history of wrecks on this grade which would make for a useful addition to this topic. One, involving a gasoline tanker in the mid-1970s, wiped out several houses and poured hundreds of gallons of flaming gasoline into the storm sewers. It's in the historical record, but that one event is far enough back to predate online news. Still, I'm sure data can be found about it, as well as others, if someone cared to look it up.
The eastbound approach is itself no slouch in the steep grade department, and also has a history of accidents. This hill also had, for a long time (not sure it's still there), a railroad crossing halfway down.

Talk:E. Gerald Corrigan

message: I have just restored a summary of April, 2009, NY Times reporting about Corrigan and Goldman's role in the AIG Federal rescue.
The summary was removed wholesale last July by ISP 69.140.159.59, with the explanation that it was "speculative and potential libelous content." While I know that a lot of reporting has been done since that time, my reading of the summary (as amended today in minor ways) was that it was based then on good NYT reporting which has been, to my knowledge, well born out by subsequent revelations. Corrigan, specifically, was placed in the discussions by AIG chair Willumstad in the NYT article, as is clear in the summary. 
As to the quality of the Times reporting, there have been no corrections noted with the article relative to Corrigan or Goldman roles. I've heard of no libel actions taken against the Times. "Speculative" I don't see, reading the summary -- it's reporting by a credible publication which stood and continues to stand behind the piece.
I can anticipate, as I did at the time, some objection that some of the material covered Goldman but not necessarily Corrigan. However, I have not overstated the explicit Corrigan role and think the Goldman background is helpful in beginning to portray the context, issues and actions of which Corrigan certainly was an integral part.
If anyone has sourced updates which clarify either the broader Goldman role in this regard, or Corrigan's role specifically, they'd of course be welcome. 
I'm sorry to be so slow to return to this article. I am going to add a couple more developments in Corrigan's role at the firm, now. Swliv (talk) 22:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I've deleted a chunk of unsourced text.  I'm stashing it here, to be re-added when it's sourced. 
Hilliard was elected to the House of Representatives in 1992 after the state legislature created Alabama's first black-majority Congressional district, connecting black areas in Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma and the Black Belt, as a condition of the Voting Rights Act. In 1997, Hilliard traveled to Libya despite U.S. sanctions against Libya at the time. He also had sympathies for Palestinians and was critical of Isreal.      
Hilliard faced his first serious re-election challenge from Artur Davis in the 2000 primary election, but prevailed. He faced Davis again in 2002 in a district that had been changed significantly by redistricting, adding many white voters in Birmingham and losing its mostly black portion of Montgomery. The campaign in 2002 was focused on race and the Middle East. Hilliard's surrogates claimed that all Davis did for African Americans as a federal prosecutor was "put them in jail". In 2001 Hilliard voted against a bill funding increases in military support to Israel and opposing criminalization of Palestinian politicians. Hilliard won the first primary, but he didn't win a majority, so he faced Davis in a run-off election. Davis won the run-off with 54% of the vote.
