message: In 1991 songwriter Maurice White sued Mariah Carey and C+C Music Factory for plagiarizing The Emotions' song "Best Of My Love" for Mariah's #1 hit "Emotions".  Mariah was trying to evoke the groove of the 70's song and C+C Music Factory attempted to come close without actually copying the song.  Maurice White felt they had stepped over the line.

Talk:Oxford University Labour Club

message: I've removed the references to Van Nooijen's unsuccesful candidacies, leaving his position with Oxford East. Leaving aside the question of whether it is POV to call someone who stands for election, and doesn't win, an "unsuccesful" candidate, particularly when the only other individuals listed by name are successful candidates, his various candidacies are listed on the page about him which is the appropriate place for biographical information about an individual. The references to "former" and "recent former" OULC members are questionable, but could be justified on the basis that they demonstrate the numbers of OULC members involved.

thread_title:  Recent Additions to this page 

message: Unfortunately, there may be a number of inaccuracies in this article. This underlines the need to supply in-line references for statements, as has already been noted. I do have some direct knowledge : as a student I was the Club's chair in Michaelmas 1972 and remained active to 1976. During my time as a tutorial fellow (1977-1987) I was an Oxford city councillor and the Club's Senior Member.
Possible Inaccuracies - I am pretty certain that Peter Mandelson and Andrew Smith were not members of the Club's Executive Committee. My memory is that Barbara Roche, and Maria and Angela Eagle, were active on the Executive committee. I am less sure about David and Ed Miliband.   
Possible sources for references - biographical directories (Who's Who, People of Today) and the student papers (Cherwell, Isis).

Talk:The Faders

message: This article is about the band, not the individual members, and as such, non-band-related biographical information should be moved to articles about the individual members, if they are notable enough (I don't know if they are). Most of the information is about the members' fathers, anyways. In any event, here is the text of the section as it was:
===Member Biographies===
The lead singer of the band, Molly Lorenne (real name Molly Decima Ure), was born on 7 March 1987. Her father is Midge Ure, of Slik, The Rich Kids and Ultravox fame. Her post-Faders career will be under the name Molly McQueen, starting with a re-recording of The Faders' greatest hit No Sleep Tonight.
Toy Valentine the band's bassist and backing singer, was born on 4 July 1985. She also plays guitar and keyboards. Her father is a renowned blues guitarist from Stoke Hammond.
Cherisse Osei (real name Cherrise Amma Loren Ofosu-Osei), the Faders' backing singer and drummer, was born on 23 December 1986. Her dad, Eddie Osei starred in the film Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist. Cherisse now plays drums in the band for the successful solo artist Mika Penniman.
By the end of 2006 this had evolved into a very nice article, and now it stinks. This is a text book example of why Wikipedia doesn't work and moreover why you cannot create anything of value by committee.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.30.204.33 (talk) 02:17, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Last Exile

message: I'm just wondering if there are any good sources or if anyone can clarify about the actual layout of the world in the first series. In the summary it mentions simply being two separate nations separated by the Grand Stream, but are those nations actually part of a single world? Or is that the nations are each on their own world, with the Grant Stream functioning as an atmospheric vortex between them, with the Guild fortress (and Exile) hidden away there to keep order? At the end of the series there is a shot of what appears to be Prester, which looks like two distinct spheres held within a strange lattice-work (see here).
Anyway, some clarification would be helpful. Many other anime series go to excessive lengths to explain important setting related stuff beforehand, but Last Exile seems to have taken the opposite route, and left me complete lost! =D -- Haravikk (talk) 22:22, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Covering main indicators 

message: I've just removed the map from the infobox (shown at the top of this thread), as it's misleading. The key problem is that it defines the various countries as being either OECD members or OECD applicants. This isn't correct - as this article notes, there are actually several categories of non-members who are OECD partners, with only some of these countries having applied to join the organisation of which only a sub-set are going through the formal accession process. If a map showing non-members is included, it needs to reflect this diversity. The map was also flawed in that it included Malaysia as an applicant, where the reference to this in the article was very low quality (an old news story reporting that a low ranking Malaysian public servant had said that Malaysia was applying at a minor conference, with no follow up reporting I can see - OECD membership applications are actually announced by national leaders and attract lots of media attention).  as the creator of this map.

replies: text: I tried to clarify this issue in the article. I felt the "basement membrane is an erroneous label" beginning gave the wrong impression, especially since I arrived at this article via a redirect from basement membrane. I tried to tone it down a bit, making clear that it's not a question of one term versus the other but that they're two distinct terms that are often confused.  Because there are no articles on lamina propria, lamina densa, etc. I'm tempted to create a basement membrane article and incorporate the EM-visible elements sections of that article. Thoughts? Robotsintrouble 21:14, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I think it would make more sense to have a basement membrane article, and then explain all its parts in that article. All the terms redirecting to that article should have simple definitions in the intro paragraphs, so that the intro can stand on its own. Also, the article should mention the considerable non-uniformity in the literature with respect to these terms; see also Dorlands Dictionary entry. For some authors, "basal lamina" and "basement membrane" are synonymous, for others "basal lamina" and "lamina densa" are synonymous. We can't call these choices of terminology "mistaken"; we have to explain them and then pick one and stick with it. AxelBoldt 16:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Won Buddhism

message: I wasn't aware of the Christian influence. Can someone elaborate?
-- Its services are modeled after the Christian services and church organization, ie - inclusion of hymns, sermons, group activities, social bonding, etc.
This is incorrect and a misleading. The Christian influence is negligible. Previous scholars with little understanding made such comments but they have been debunked. The only influence is having services on Sunday, which is more a product of modernity and industrialization. The inclusion of hymns comes from several sources, one being other local new religious movements popular at the time. Some temples don't even sing. Buddhist have always had dharma talks and lectures by abbots and prominent monks, so it would be logical that they be included on the main weekly Sunday service due to people working during the week. I have no idea what this means by "social bonding," that isn't "Christian." "Group activities" are also not "Christian".
