Category talk:Towns in North Carolina

message: I have cleaned out this Towns in North Carolina category, removed any unofficial towns, and placed aricles that didn't belong into their respective appropriate categories, although some may have slipped through. Some villages may be listed as towns, etc. As of now, April 7, 2007, there are 197 official towns listed on page 1, 200 on page 2, and 49 on page 3. (First page ends with King, second from Kingstown to Trent Woods, third from Trenton to Zebulon) Please help monitor this category to make sure no non-towns end up here and please make note here if new towns are incorporated after April 7, 2007. --TinMan 22:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Britannic Majesty

message: Shouldn't this be a redirect to Monarchy of the United Kingdom? The term is already mentioned there, and is itself hardly deserves an article, as it is simply an example of a common linguistic construct. JPD (talk) 22:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What has the difference between Australian and British got to do with the reason I gave? The British phrase is best covered (and already is) at Monarchy of the United Kingdom, the Australian at Monarchy of Australia, where how to distinguish between the two is also discussed. Similarly "French majesty" does need an article of its own, nor does "Danish majesty" and so on... The construct is common in diplomatic language, and while its lack of use elsewhere justifies redirects, it doesn't justify a whole article. JPD (talk) 03:00, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Perhaps instead of telling me you will take a stand (I did not intend to be offensive), you could tell us why you think "it really does need its own page". Yes, it is used more than similar forms, as far as I know, but I am not suggesting that any information be deleted, just that both this article and the Majesty article would benefit from being merged. The Majesty article is currently quite short and could do with expansion, while the information here would benefit from a broader context. JPD (talk) 21:43, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

The following sentence doesn't seem to really make any sense:
"The first door judges whether the person attempting to pass through it "feels his own worth," and if the person is found wanting the two sphinxes open their eyes and unleash bolts of yellow light from their eyes that kill him."
Specifically, the second part doesn't really form a complete thought and/or explain what is going on.  I haven't seen the movie in a long time so I can't modify/fix it, but it doesn't make any sense.

message: This page is listed under "emotions."  But it does not describe hostility as an emotional reaction.  It describes hostility as a specialized term used by psychologists.
The simplest fix woulb be to change this to "Hostility (psychology)" and create a new page "Hostility (emotion)" which would be linked to in the Emotion list. 71.99.61.117 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment was added on 19:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with most of the above. The meaning given here is definitely not the primary meaning of "hostile" and "hostility"; it is not even listed in dictionaries. However, hostility in the common meaning of enmity or antagonism is also not an emotion (although often accompanied by the emotion of anger), so the easiest fix is to make this a disambiguation page.  --Lambiam 11:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Quote from article: "The appointment of a protecting power had been optional in the 1929 Convention, but the 1949 Convention made it obligatory" 
* Does this mean obligatory when war is declared? 
** Even if the belligerents had no diplomatic relations before the outbreak of war? 
** and a dead letter now that formal declarations of war are out of fashion
* Conversely, I take it that countries not at war are not required to establish protecting powers just because they lack diplomatic relations
** Relatedly, is the "Current mandates" table complete? If so it implies there are pairs of countries where one has a protecting power in the other but not vice versa (e.g. North Korea has no protecting powers).

thread_title:  “Pseudo-colonial”? 

message: One important element is missing, or should perhaps be its own article. This is the practice of the British sending Ministers [in the sense of cabinet members rather than in the diplomatic rank] abroad to various regions to exercise cabinet authority in the field. Harold Macmillan, for example, though there were others. It was a wartime measure, driven by the level of technology they were at- just strong enough communications for a cabinet minister to consult at intervals, just risky enough communications that having a Cabinet Minister in a cluster of colonies or theatre of military operations to act on his own initiative was thought potentially useful. I'd love to read more about this- something must be written about it. Remarkable political flexibility. I raise it here because several articles on men who filled such roles have linked me back to this article, which does NOT properly address this situation at all. Welcome contributions.

message: Interesting collection. But is it correctly named? Why use a big word like "historiographer" where a little word like "historian" is available? Is this perhaps an attempt to define away those inferior people who insist on being called historians in spite of their defects? By using a two-bit code word like historiographer you insure that the ordinary seeker after information (who has never heard of historiography) will never enter the category and never trouble your peace of mind.

message: The George Lenczowski ref is apparently based on the following quote, which does not belong on the accompanying page, let alone as a block-quote within a footnote:

It also does not establish that 
: The term "shuttle diplomacy" refers to a phase of diplomacy started by United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on November 5, 1973.

message: I propose that Multi-track Diplomacy be merged into Track Two Diplomacy. I think that the content in the Multi-Track Diplomacy article can easily be explained in the context of Track Two, and the Track Two article is of a minimal size in which the merging of Multi-Track will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

Talk:Vienna Convention on Consular Relations

message: The introductory paragraph of this section suggests that consular personnel operate out of embassies. While there are consular personnel in embassies, typically they have diplomatic status because their role is in support of the diplomatic relations between the two states. Consular personnel in the embassy perform consular protective services for their nationals, but they are also deemed essential to the conduct of diplomatic relations as they often engage the host government in diplomatic discussions pertaining to consular matters.
This international convention applies to consular offices and staff at posts that are not diplomatic posts, but are consular posts. Consular posts exist not to further diplomatic relations between two states but, as described in this first paragraph to protect the interests of nationals and to advance other interests of the sending state. These offices can come in a variety of forms. The two most common are posts headed by a consul, typically called a consulate, and those headed by a higher ranking officer, usually called consul-generals. Others consular posts may be headed by someone who is not a national of the sending state. 
It is also possible that a state may not have a diplomatic representation in a country for whatever reason and may have only a consular post. This is the case for countries in the Commonwealth that are not fully sovereign such as Bermuda and many of the small islands in the Caribbean which are protectorates of the Dutch.
Because consular posts are not critical to facilitating relations between two states, personnel at consular posts have not been accorded the rights, privileges and immunities, deemed necessary to facilitate diplomatic relations.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.157.239.79 (talk) 09:58, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
