message: This article BTW contains a lot of POV. The statement Some have attributed Bruton's softening on social issues such as divorce to the influence of his wife, Finola is absurd.

About English terms:
The author should consider using another term other than "created".  Twice out of three times in which it occurs, "named" would seem more appropriate.  There's probably a more formal term for this.  Liu Bang didn't create anyone.  He invested certain people with certain titles, it seems.  ...The title of a novel comes to mind, "The Creation of the Gods".  The translation "creation" is a bit misleading here.  Another translation used  was "investiture".  Anyway, for your consideration.
PS:  Isn't Zhang Liang the one who retired after Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, saying something about how after the hunt, the hunting dogs are killed?  It's a great quote; but according to this article, it seems that he didn't really withdraw from service to Liu Bang/Emperor Gao.  Incidentally, the quote comes to mind in the case of Yoshitsune in Japanese history.
:"Create" is the right term.  See, for example, http://www.webster.com/dictionary/create.  --Nlu 06:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Who was it that did the conversion into pounds from catties? 120 catties isn't 160lb. 9 catties (modern) convert to 10 lb. The ancient catty, as recorded in the Shiji, is only half a modern catty. Hence 120 catties is roughly equivalent to 30kg (which does make more sense); it would be perhaps possible for a very strong man to throw a 30kg mass a few yards, while 160lb would be beyond anyone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.31.75.33 (talk) 02:00, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Eastern Hemisphere

message: the caption under the map of the Eastern hemisphere at 1200 ad is incorrect. The 12th century runs from 1101AD to 1200AD.  Since the title of the map indicates the year 1200, it is actually the last year of the 12th century, nit the beginning. One might argue that it is the dawn of the 13th century, but not the 12th.

Talk:Noshaq

message: I reverted the deletion of "westernmost 7,000 metre peak" since that is, in fact, a meaningful statement, in the same way that saying "Maine is the easternmost of the United States" is meaningful. Since the 7000m peaks are concentrated in one relatively small region of the globe, spanning far less than 180 degrees of longitude, there is a well-defined westernmost (and a well-defined easternmost) peak.

thread_title: Basic Tools

message: The article is titled "Technical communication tools" but begins "Technical communicators use".  
Is the article about (1) communication tools that happen to be technical or is it about (2) the tools that a technical communicator uses?  They are not the same thing.  If the answer is (2) the article title should revised.
How is a "Technical communicator's" toolset different from a "Communicator's"? toolset?  Writers, editors, illustrators, architects/planners, experts, and their tool requirements would seem to be common to most professional non-fiction writing tasks. 69.106.246.15 (talk) 08:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Being a technical communicator myself, I find it odd that our tools would deserve a separate entry on Wikipedia. If a tool is notable enough, it can have its own entry. A simple paragraph on the main Technical communication entry mentioning that we use these tools would be enough. Unfortunately, the creator of this entry hasn't been active for six years so there doesn't seem to be any way to ask him for his justification. I think we ought to just merge this as a section at technical communication, the main article which is already threadbare as it is. MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:05, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Spencer Gifts

message: The article states that the demographic targeted by Spencer's is disputed and directs to the talk page, but there is nothing here on that topic. Spencer's employee training documents teach new hires that the target demographic is "Jack and Nikki," 18-24 year olds with a sense of humor who like to party and have an irreverent view of life, though it goes on to say that anyone can be a Jack or Nikki if they are young at heart. I've had no luck digging up copies of any official documents online, however, so perhaps someone who is a greater master of the search engine than me could take a look? I would say that their own statement of who their demographic is should be sufficient, however, once it can be found somewhere to be verified.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.109.27 (talk) 02:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demographic Disputed? 

message: The article suggests that Spencer's applies an age policy regarding who can see and buy certain items (explicit, adult toys, etc.) by checking for identification. However being a former employer and working for the company throughout the scandal on the news, I am very familiar with the policies. Not only in my specific store but i am aware that in the entire region we are part of the company made very clear that Spencer's will not enforce an age policy and nevertheless I.D. checks. It is solely based on the guests maturity level and the employees judgement, most of the explicit items are mainly in the back of the store but not necessarily true since some can be found throughout the store, however when it becomes evident that small children or just certain guests in general lack the sensibleness around the items or at the moment of purchase than employees may intervene. It is a policy that the employees simply can not ask for an I.D. at any moment. Nchalco (talk) 16:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
