Talk:Ex parte

message: What is ex parte now in the new British legalese (after some review panel's report)? I just saw A (FC) and others (FC) (Appellants) v. Secretary of State for the Home Department (Respondent) etc.; what does "(FC)" mean? – Kaihsu 15:58, 2004 Dec 17 (UTC)
: (1) FC = Funded Client, i.e. recipient of legal aid (government subsidy for legal representation). (2) In this judgment the only reference to ex parte in the citation of another case "R v Governor of Durham Prison, Ex p Hardial Singh [1984] 1 WLR 704".  Having looked up this case, it concerns an application for an order of habeas corpus. 86.180.195.241 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 22:15, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

message: The statement about the 10 AM rule for ex parte proceedings in California was tagged "citation needed." That tag was completely frivolous. The reference is the same as the reference earlier in the paragraph, differing only b a few lines in the source document. It is obvious that whoever placed that tag did so without troubling so much as to examine the other, nearby reference on the same subject to see if it covered both statements.
There ought to be a Wikipedia-wide policy about this. I see it all the time: people bombing other people's work with frivolous tags that show a great deal more about the laziness of the tagger than they do about the content of the article.
I've supplied the reference needed to justify vaporizing the tag.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poihths (talk • contribs) 19:46, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:USS Delaware (1820)

message: The tone of the article, probably copied from a Navy publication, is interesting:
"She served in the interests of American commerce and diplomacy in that area" and other sentences of this type. That's an interesting type of diplomacy, having a warship patrolling the coast of a foreign nation.
Anybody agrees with me? Sanders muc 21:18, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Very common in the days before telegraphs and UNs. The naval officer(s) were very often the sole representatives of their nations in the vicinity, and frequently had to be on hand to resolve kidnapping/shakedowns of merchant ship captains by corrupt local officials, to carry important mail, etc. The British, French, etc did the same off US coasts too. The detailed histories of the ships often go into details about just what the "interests" amounted to, all quite fascinating - see de Kay's book on Macedonian for a recent writeup.

The origin of the claim that Pasteur had dyslexia seems to originate from a very questionable pop psychology book that also claims Genghis Khan, Empress Matilda, and Cesare Borgia had ADHD with no explanation. Another source listed is a book about Einstein that also claims Pasteur was dyslexic with no further explanation, that appears to be plagiarizing directly from A Short History of Human Error. "101 Things You Didn't Know about Einstein" states that Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and Pasteur all had dyslexia in the exact same order as in the "Short History of Human Error" book but does not provide any citations for this claim either.

Talk:Santa Cruz massacre

message: I think it appropriate to start a page that links, perhaps from the name "Sebastiao Gomes" in the Dili Massacre article, and deals with the events on that evening. Or, it could come under an earlier heading called "Lead up to the massacre" into which the paragraph on the Portuguese delegation should be inserted.
I don't yet know how to do this. Please offer some advice, or make the changes, and I can contribute. I have limited access to the net, and am a beginner.
That night at Motael was rather dramatic, and an accurate account puts the wider matters into better perspective. There were East Timorese who declined to attend the memorial Mass for Sebastiao Gomes because they believed that the memorial should have included a second East Timorese man who died there earlier in the evening. The players were the present Bishop of Dili, Governor Mario Carrascalao, Bishop Belo, the clandestine youth and the usual Indonesian youth groups, military, and police. Gomes was not shot inside the church, as most reports claim. JoniAlcinoSoares 11:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
