Talk:Normative economics

message: I can see why it's important to distinguish between Normative and Positive Economics.  Normative Economics is very speculative.  It can be whatever you want it to be.  It's good to have ideals and goals and normative economics allows this.  I don't understand how Normative Economics can be scientific.  While a scientific reason can make you change your values, values in and of themselves are not scientific.  
Lacyg 01:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It can be scientific if it merely studies values and how goals can be achieved. We call that political economics. If it forms values, then 'economics' does not denote a science but economic policy. The word allows both meanings. Guido den Broeder 11:22, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Car 54, Where Are You?

thread_title:  Who played Toody? 

message: Not that its anything special, but it is kind-of odd that the movie doesn't have its own page, whether it be a box office bomb or not. I know that the four-year delay in the movie's release actually helped Rosie O'Donnell's career out, as she shot A League of Their Own and The Flintstones during that span and were huge box office successes before Car 54 was finally released. (I watched O'Donnell's biography either on A&E Biography or E! True Hollywood Story a few years back about it.) Plus, despite it's short section in the main article most movie pages after the film has been released in theaters does give a brief telling of the plot, so it could be expanded.
BTW, I did see the movie for the first time just a couple of months ago. It wasn't bad, but it isn't the greatest movie of all-time either. Very campy IMO. Jgera5 (talk) 21:10, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:George Stovey

message: I am not very confident that the image displayed here shows George Stovey. The image comes from Pintrest, far from a reliable source, and is captioned "Pitcher George Stovey Newark Little Giants." If this image is supposed to depict him with the Little Giants, it would be from 1887. The image appears to be from a time period after that, my guess would be in the 1910s-1930s. 
As far as I can tell, there hasn't been a confirmed photo of Stovey, so I'm not sure where this image originally came from. John Thorn in 2017 said no image of Stovey has survived, and he lacks a photo at Seamheads, which is great when it comes to attaching known photographs of negro leaguers. Penale52 (talk) 21:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like SABR member Joe Williams was able to find a photo of Stovey in a newspaper, apparently sometime around 1928. Penale52 (talk) 22:17, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Category talk:Jewish fencers

message: I strongly oppose merging this.
1.  Nationality.  The first question is whether the Jews are a nation.  If so, it would clearly not be appropriate to merg.
The Wikipedia entry for "Jew" indicates, inter alia, that Jews are "members of the Jewish people (also known as the Jewish nation ...)."  
The Wiki definition of "nationality" states, inter alia: "Generally, nationality is established at birth by a child's place of birth (jus soli) and/or bloodline (jus sanguinis)."   
Thus, one can maintain that in the (abnormal) case of Jews, who consist of a nation that has largely been dispersed from its homeland, it would not be appropriate to merge.
Other religions are in the "normal case" distinct from the nation.  In other words, there was not a Protestant, or Buddhist, or Christian, or Hindu, or Aethiest nation per se.  They are not a "people."  They are not a "nation."  Jews, peculiarly, are not just a religion.  They are also a nation.  Dispersed (largely) for a couple of thousand years.  
2.  Notability.  Wiki policy calls for a sensitivity towards "notability."  
To determine what notability means here, one must go to Wikipedia:Notability (people), the notability criteria guideline for Wikipedia.
That guideline states, inter alia, that "Notability on Wikipedia for people is based on the following criterion:  The person has been a primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person.   This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, scholarly papers, and television documentaries ...."
Thus, where one is noted as being a Jew in multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, and the like, they  meet the notability requirement.  And thus it would be appropriate to have a distinct category.
These already exist for Black Jews and various types of Jewish athletes other than Jewish fencers.
And, importantly, there are a number of Halls of Fame and lists and articles relating to Jewish athletes.   
"Jewish Sports Legends" is a book that one can find at .  The International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame Jewishsports.net bios can be found at .  Jews in Sports bios can be found at .  National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame bios can be found at .  Jews in the Olympics can be found at  and medalists can be found at .  The Baltimore Jewish Times runs articles on Jewish athletes:  .  The Holocaust Museum runs articles on Jewish athletes in the Holocaust:  and .  "From the Ghetto To The Games: Jewish Athletes in Hungary" focuses on certain Jewish athletes . It is mentions such as these that demonstrate the importance of this classification ... which is what Wiki policy focuses on. --Epeefleche 07:53, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Governors' Cup

message: I've italicized the names of franchises that are either defunct or no longer in the IL. I ran into a hitch though--it looks like the Charleston Charlies eventually became the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, as evidenced on the latter's page. Similarly, only the most recent two of the Buffalo Bisons championships belonged to the current franchise; the rest were from the same team that eventually became both the Charlies and the SWB Yankees. So how should we count those?
Also, do we like the system of italicizing defunct teams? We could do the opposite and embolden current ones (I follow soccer much more, and that's the standard for listing players with most caps or goals on team pages). At any rate, is there a standard we can follow for either of these issues? --BDD (talk) 18:29, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
