message: I am continuing this discussion on the talk page rather than violate the three-revert rule.
Thank you NE2 for pointing out Wikipedia:Profanity. That's the first time I have seen that guideline (why in the world is it not linked off of the main Manual of Style page?). I now understand how that guideline applies if using the direct quote, and if the exact quote stays I agree it should remain unedited. However, I disagree with using the quote at all.
Including the David Cross quote goes against Wikipedia's NPOV policy with respect to undue weight. Specifically, "[i]f a viewpoint is held by an extremely small (or vastly limited) minority, it does not belong in Wikipedia (except perhaps in some ancillary article) regardless of whether it is true or not; and regardless of whether you can prove it or not."
Also, available demographic data clearly shows that David's impression is wrong. Roswell was not (even in the 70s and 80s when Cross lived in Roswell) and is not currently the "whitest place" amongst its neighboring cities, much less America.
Based on this policy, I am proposing removing the David Cross quote in its entirety from the Roswell, Georgia page. Any objections?

replies: text: As you've seen, it's not acceptable to bowdlerize a direct quote; if it's going to be included at all it must be included in it's entirety. Still, I concur with your general opinion; the quote is completely out of place and has no actual relevance. It almost looks like it was included because of its shock value, not because it's significant in any fashion. Go ahead and yank that puppy :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 03:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: As a native Georgian, I realize that there is competition among Georgia's 2nd- and 3rd-tier cities. Some people wish to inflate the population of their hometown.

thread_title: Date Confusion

message: I moved this article, removing "saint" from the title per naming conventions.  I added the qualifier "of Ludger" to distinguish her from the two other saints named simply "Emma" (celebrated on 12 May and 29 June) so that confusion such as above can be avoided, and to make room for any future disambiguation.  -- Pastordavid 20:15, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Emma of Ludger" is bizarre and unworkable, Ludger not being a placename but the name of her husband. In German she is known sometimes as "Emma of Lesum", and I have moved the article accordingly. The conventions on saints' names allow for the possibility of leaving "Saint X" where there is no obvious alternative, and that would perhaps have been the better course here.

Talk:Need

message: Maybe I'm being terminally dumb, here, but what separates a "want" from a "psychological need" (or perhaps more tellingly, "subjective need")? Both are things that keep the organism emotionally happy and aren't typically found as motivators in those which lack the higher mental functions to conceive of spending energy to obtain something not absolutely vital for existence. Neither are actually crucial to survival or physical health, or even in some cases basic mental health. They just make your mood better, when you've already covered the actual, "if you don't get enough of this, you will literally die because your respiratory processes will pack up", literal needs. Note, for one thing, the way we have to teach children the difference between "I need" and "I want", and how the former is more likely to be satisfied so long as there's a reasonable basis behind it. If there is actually a separation between them I fancy it's quite fuzzy... 193.63.174.254 (talk) 19:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Miles Smiles

message: The article says:
The contribution from drummer Tony Williams on this album feels especially free, both rhythmically and improvisationally. On "Footprints", we hear his trademark polyrhythmic approach: the piece begins with Ron Carter's repeated bass line played in 6/4 time. Tony Williams initially plays within the 6/4 feel; however, during Miles's first solo, Tony shifts to a 4/4 jazz ride pattern while Ron Carter continues the 6/4 bass line.
The term "polyrhythmic" is not entirely correct since polyrhythms only refer to different rhythms superimposed. The article talks about different time signatures (or meters) superimposed, so the term "polymetric" is actually more to the point since it specifically deals with superimposed time signatures. However there are some distinct polyrhythmic instances in the melody of the tune "Footprints", listen to the phrasing in the 2nd, 6th and 7th bar of the theme, where the melody is in a 5-over-3 polyrhythm.

This is an 1822 artist rendition of an eruption at that time.  What is the basis for the assertion that the AD 79 eruption may have looked like?

Talk:Dean Brown

message: ----
"Dean Brown's political career was marked by his rivalry with John Olsen, the two representing the moderate and conservative wings of the South Australian Liberal Party respectively."
This is a bold oversimplification. John Olsen was a LM person and not really conservative in any sense (his economics were wet, he was pro-choice on abortion, etc). He used the strength of the conservative voting block to get elected, but then also used the votes of Joan Hall (Wife of [Steele Hall]) to get elected.
This is an inappropriate introduction to the article. I'll leave this comment here for now, see if there's any discussion, and if there's not overhaul it later.
:As the author of the original comment... I agree it's an oversimplification, and I agree it doesn't belong in the introduction. But I think it's broadly accurate (at least if I restrict it to his 2nd stint (1992-2005), which I should have done), and I've seen a number commentators use it. So the rivalry certainly needs to be mentioned: the behaviour of the SA Liberal party 1992-2006 makes little sense without it.
:Are you sure Olsen was in the LM? And I've no idea how you could call Olsen's economics wet - he was very pro privatisation, this was even used against him in SA elections in the 80s. I wasn't aware of Olsen's opinion on abortion, but I do know Olsen (as Premier) made an apology to the Stolen Generation, so you could call him economic-dry-social-wet perhaps. As for Joan Hall - I think she was one of the "defectors" who tipped the balance and allowed Olsen to gain the leadership in '96, though I could be wrong. Perhaps their support bases weren't as simple as moderate vs conservative. I thought they were, but I'm willing to be corrected. p.s. remember to sign your comments.
