Talk:Manchester school (anthropology)

message: Merging  Social anthropology#Anthropologists_associated_with_the_Manchester_school into Manchester school (anthropology) sounds perfectly reasonable. I would suggest letting the latter stand as an article and referencing it from the current British Social Anthropology page. The Manchester School in anthropology page currently makes sense on its own, and people reading the general BSA page might not be so interested in particular emphases of different traditions.

message: As far as I remember, when the movie ran in a theatre at the locarno film festival 2001, pamphlets were handed out about a Dogma 95 counter movement: 
Trauma 99.
The pamphlet stated some rules for Trauma 99 movies:
* at least one crane shot
* germans must speak english, except for the word RAUS or AUFMACHEN
* asians must present some form of wisdom by any means
* artifical blood must be used in large quantities
* only artificial lightning is allowed while shooting the movie
I couldn't find any traces on the internet so far tough, regarding the movement or any other movies that would fit these rules...

thread_title:  United States 

message: The United States paid a fee to the Ottomans for the rights to free and fair trade along the Barbary coast, something the Ottomans did not uphold, thus causing the US to go to war and win, thus not having to pay anymore. This does not fall under a "tributary state", nor a "vassal state" as the sovereignty of the US was not in question here. If this counts as a tributary state, then the US is also a "tributary state" to Cuba, since the US pay the Cuban government a yearly fee for Guantanamo Bay.

Talk:Deterrence (film)

message: I am absolutely stunned that there has been no discussion on this film yet. Was it meant as an endorsement of the Strong Unitary Executive Theory? At the risk of oversimplification, does it endorse the political philosophy that "the President knows best," and that we should simply trust his or her judgment, no matter what the apparent consequences? Strong UET is a philosophy endorsed by neo-conservatives. Therefore, if it was meant as the guiding principle of this film, this ought to be brought to light. Does anyone have inside knowledge to bear on this?
The concept of the Unitary Executive Theory has arguable roots in Plato's Republic. Its most-extreme pole (i.e., Strong UET) might be argued to border on benevolent dictatorship. Of course, there are many opinions about the UET, and various interpretations thereof. Opponents of the strong interpretation reference the historical observation that, for every arguably benevolent, wise dictator, there have been many, many self-serving tyrants. Hence, any given dictator is statistically unlikely to be truly benevolent and wise. Now, we certainly don't want to simplistically conflate the intellectual ideas of Strong UET and benevolent dictatorship. We would merely be wise to acknowledge that a slippery slope exists between the two, given what history teaches us about human nature.
This film comes down firmly on the side of "the President knows best," implying that he a) knows more than we know, b) is wiser than we are. He could have chosen to share the information that he knew the Iraqi missles were inert, yet he did not. Of course, that would have castrated the suspense. So, was this merely an unwitting endorsement of benevolent dictatorship, where sanity was sacrificed upon the altar of suspense? Or, was the film truly meant to promote the Strong UET and/or benevolent dictatorship? That is the intellectual question we could address as an encyclopediaPrairieOjibway (talk) 15:16, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

message: In the article we have pictures of thermal fuses and thermal switches.

text: Alright, I put the Wren Books and the Sartorias-deles ones under two different heading. While Crown Duel and Court Duel were set in Wren's world when it was first published, that was not the way it was originally meant to be. Someone can perhaps make a note of this, but I think the two categories should be separate. I thought about changing the name to "Young Adult," and keeping the two together, but Inda really isn't a young adult novel. Jennifu 04:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

text: The list is looking good, I don't think any reference to "Young Adult" is needed, since that's only something specified by a publisher (aside from author-intent of course), which should probably be noted on each book's page I'd say. AltiusBimm 07:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Steve Capus

message: This article does not contain a single citation, and the 5 external links contain little to no information (indeed, 3 of them are dead links). The link "Video critical of Steve Capus and NBC News handling of the Cho Seung-hui materials" is particularly disturbing to see on an encyclopedia page, as I would suspect is clearly violates the NPOV and NOR policies. Also, lines such as "Capus has received criticism for many decisions he has had to make throughout his career - especially for those made during his time as NBC News president" seem like they should require at least some sort of cited support or explanation, for fear of violating BLPs policies. I would remove these myself, although I would prefer to let someone do it who knows something about Steve Capus or where to find reliable sources concerning him. 173.75.251.214 (talk) 19:44, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
