Talk:Pawsner

message: Article listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion Apr 29 to May 6 2004, consensus was to delete unverified content and transwiki to wiktionary.  Discussion:
The relevance of this article is not clear. The mentioned writer yields 3 google hits (thereof one from Wikipedia). The rest, i.e., the explanation of the last name Pawsner, may be interesting, particularly for someone with this last name. However, I doubt the encyclopedic importance of this article.

Talk:People's Daily

message: The part about providing direct information about the 
Communist Party might sound NPOV, but it is a paraphrase
of the self description on its web site.  The People's Daily 
states pretty clearly on its website that its opinions 
reflect those of the party, and doesn't claim to be objective or evenhanded in its coverage of the news.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Roadrunner (talk • contribs) 07:03, 8 July 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: The credibility of the information in the People's Daily is relatively low among many Chinese.
My own personal opinion is that the People's Daily does have a 
distinct slant and you shouldn't expect to see well argued defenses of the free Tibet movement there.  On the other hand, the lack of objectivity in the People's Daily isn't that much worse than Fox News.

Talk:History of the Russian Federation

message: Hey, I'm concerned that the section on the annexation of Crimea is not neutral. I think it is too favorable to the Russian view on the annexation. For example, the phrasing of "though [the referendum on joining Russia] was passed with an overwhelming majority, the results are contested by some and approved by others" seems to advance the idea that the referendum was legitimate as it doesn't explain why some contest the results. It even waters down the critique by saying that some people support it.
I think overall, the whole section is like this, both on the scale of individual sentences as well as the overall structure and order of the paragraph. It emphasizes all of the details in support of the annexation while glossing over the negatives. I think it's possible that someone could read this section and not realize that this was a Russian invasion and annexation of the territory of another sovereign nation, in violation of international law.

Talk:House sparrow

message: The unsourced range map appears to be a bit inaccurate. One of the pictures featured in the article shows a pair of sparrows in Rome, yet the map shows they are not in Italy at all. I also find it hard to believe that they are native to the Arabian dessert and small spots in the middle of the Sahara. --Jleon (talk) 03:12, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The range map is sourced, to the Handbuch der Vögel Mitteleuropas, and it's accurate. The birds in Rome are Italian sparrows, which are discussed in the article as close relatives of the house sparrow. That they are native to those parts of Arabia, Sudan, and the Sahara is pretty meticulously documented in sources such as Summers-Smith (1988). —innotata 06:22, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Range Map 

message: I added the cleanup template because IMO the article is cluttered with images, many of which are redundant. For example, we don't need three sets of image comparisons of male and female sparrows. The description and behavior sections are most in need of a cleanup – either by removing images or rearranging them so that they don't impede the reading of the article text (e.g. galleries). I would do this myself, but since one of my own images is present in the article, that would probably constitute an issue of bias... -Air55- (Talk) 05:59, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

message: In following text in the article, shouldn't the "across the periods" replaced by "across the groups"? Because "across the periods" means vertically not horizontally.
In the s-block and p-block of the periodic table, similar properties across the periods are generally not observed: the most important similarities tend to be vertical, down groups. However the d-block is notable in that horizontal similarities across the periods do become important. 111.118.41.122 (talk) 20:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think "across the periods" means horizontally, although we could replace it with a clearer phrase. Not "across the groups" though, as it seems even less clear. Perhaps "In the s-block and p-block of the periodic table, similarity of properties between the elements of each period is generally not observed; the most important similarities tend to be vertical, down groups. However the d-block is notable in that horizontal similarities between the elements of each period do become important." Dirac66 (talk) 03:02, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Collective trauma

message: Hello,
As part of a university project, I have picked the collective trauma article to add on too. I plan to add onto the global impacts but with a more psychological and neurological focus of specific events, but this could be its own subheading about neurological impacts. I was also planning to add on a part about epigenetics and the biological effects of collective trauma. Another focus could be the PTSD aftermath and mental health links.
Thank you!

thread_title:  Lead too long? 

message: The last part of this article builds heavily on Thomas Hübl. This is problematic because:
* The quotes are not academic sources, not peer reviewed.
* The sources are his book, a blog post, and a TED talk.
* Thomas Hübl is not an academic.
* He is a "spiritual" or religous leader with a huge following.
* He is also not a non-profit leader, while he certainly started a non-profit.
* Thomas Hübl ownes a business that makes a lot of money with his teaching. Most of the mention here needs to be considered free marketing.
* Without being able to cite any academic criticism of his work, I know from psychologist friends, that his work is diametric against some academic research about trauma.

Talk:Nucleophilic substitution reaction

message: I need a scale or diagram that will show me which reactants are more powerful than others in there order. so i could look at it and see if a potassium would replace a sodium... and so on and so forth...
Sodium would never replace potassium or potassium sodium. Nucleophilic substitution requires nucleophiles, which under any remotely likely circumstance sodium and potassium are not. The order of reactivity for SN1 is 1º>2º>3º halides. SN2 is the opposate, with a requirement being that the nucleophile being added must be stronger than the nucleophile being replaced (IE, iodide is better than fluoride) EagleFalconn 17:52, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I just read this- there are a couple of errors.  Firstly the order is 1º<2º<3º for SN1, and the other way round for SN2.  Also, although SN2 requires a strong nucleophile, it does not have to be STRONGER than the one it is displacing- as long as there is a driving force.  That is a confusion of kinetic versus thermodynamic factors.

thread_title:  20th century 

message: The article states, with cited references to the Thorpe book "Douglas-Home accepted the foreign affairs portfolio in Heath's shadow cabinet" - with the implication that this was when Heath became leader in 1965. Later it says "and in 1966 he called another election in which Labour gained a strong working majority of 96. Some older members of Heath's team, including Lloyd, retired from the front bench, making room for members of the next generation. Heath moved Maudling to the foreign affairs portfolio, and Douglas-Home took over Lloyd's responsibilities as spokesman on Commonwealth relations" - again Thorpe is the cited source. The problem is this seems to contradict several other articles and indeed the succession box which indicated Sir Alec Douglas-Home was Shadow Foreign Secretary 1966-1970. Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs and First Shadow Cabinet of Edward Heath certainly indicate that this is when he served, succeeding Christopher Soames, who lost his seat in 1966. On the other hand The Times Guide to the House of Commons 1970 (p.143) states he became chief spokesman on external affairs for the Conservatives in 1965. Thus there does seem to be confusion over this issue. Thorpe may well be right, but in that case the other articles need looked at. Dunarc (talk) 19:38, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

message: "On two separate occasions, Stilwell drew up plans to assassinate Chiang and replace him, but ultimately, they were never carried out."
The above should be either removed or revised as it does not provide a clear and fuller picture of this "assassination".  It gave the reader an impression Gen. Stilwell was hatching an assassination plan, which is not the case.  Page 75 to Page 79 from Frank Dorn's book, Walkout with Stilwell in Burma, provides a clear and fuller picture.  Additionally, just referencing Page 75 is inappropriate.
