Talk:Mossad LeAliyah Bet

message: The name's origin.
The name's origin is a play on words; the Yishuv referred to legal immigration as "Aliyah Alef", whilst illegal immigration was referred to as "Aliyah Bet". So from "Aliyah Alef" and "Aliyah Bet" we get "LeAliyah Bet" ? Makes no sense. Explanation needed.

Talk:People & Planet

message: I changed a lot of this page - it was tagged as advertising with reasonable cause. I have now removed this tag.
I have some history with the Group - I was a member at both universities I attended, the University of York and the University of East Anglia. I also researched and developed the Go Green campaign for them in 2003.
I removed references to the anti-P&P group at Edinburgh for two reasons - 1) their website is defunct and 2) I consider this a rather minor local issue. I am not aware of any other organised and extant anti-P&P groups, if there are then the reference should be reinstated. I did not remove it for reasons of censorship!
If my editing has still left in an advertising-like state, I can only apologise. Parmesan 23:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Burnett, Washington

message: I just did a major edit of this page.  Whoever started it had left a note on the main page that they would edit it more later but it had been a few weeks so I went ahead and cleaned it up.  I cleaned up the format and added wikilinks.  Mostly there was a lot of "non-encyclopedic" information so I took that out.  Some of the information I can't confirm.  For example Buckley Chamber of Commerce states that Burnett has only one store.  I've never been there so I went ahead and left it at two as previously stated in the article.  I hope whoever started this article adds more, it would be nice to have historical info!

Talk:Here Comes the King

message: I took a listen to the song Wisconsin plays at the cited link, and that's not "Here Comes the King." It's the "When You Say Bud" jingle, which is played by other college bands. Georgia Tech's band, notably, released it on a CD under the less-clearly-linked-to-alcohol title of "You've Said It All."
All things considered, this article may not be a bad place for that tangent for now, at least until When You Say Bud has enough material to warrant a full article. However, it still seems to be off-topic. —C.Fred (talk) 23:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hey guys - I think that's a great idea - perhaps with a re-direct from each jingle title? - I fixed some stuff but it seems that "When You Say Budweiser, You've Said It All" should be linked forward to "Here Comes the King" at the very least - not the other way around like it is presented here.

message: I'm aware that the page was deemed "not notable". However, when looking at the records, the page was removed at a time when there was little on it and there is a lot of information we have that I believe would make it notable.

replies: text: In my opinion, probably not.  There is usually a feeling that it would be unusual for individual halls to be notable.  There are exceptions for buildings with a more extensive history, such as Wantage.  But most discussions about most halls come to the conclusion that there isn't justification for a separate article.

thread_title: Battle of Liepzig

message: I can't but help noticing that both Napoleon and Hannibal met nearly the same fates. Both had exemplary military careers that ended in a final defeat. Furthermore, in Waterloo as in Zama both commanders ended their battles with the advance of their veteran units. In addition, in both cases the final advances of the veteran units again put up the outcome of the battle in some doubt (to what extent they actually had a chance of succeeding is, of course, debatable). In Waterloo it was the final vainglorious attempt of the Old Guard and in Zama it was the final bloody ending of Hannibal's Veterans.
Even more, the outcome of both battles was decided by the attack of cavalry where the enemy was not prepared to defend. In Waterloo it was the arrival of Blucher's Prussian cavalry that sealed the engagement. In Zama it was the return of Scipio's victorius cavalry that finally crushed the Carthaginians from the rear. 
Both also crossed the Alps with huge armies to invade Italy. Finally, both commanders also ended their lives in exile (Napoleon to St. Helena and Hannibal to the Seleucids). The interesting point I wanted to note was that the two may have more in common than most might know.
I'm not really sure how to sign this so I will sign it as:

Interesting that 2 of the 3 peer reviewers challenged reliance on Hofschroer as an unbiased source. Exactly my take on the value of his work. The bottom line is that at Waterloo 50,000 Prussians tied down 10,000 French, while 68,000 Anglo-Allied troops defeated the other 62,000 of them.   
I'm looking forward to Hofschroer's forthcoming works "Malaysia 1942: the Australo-Indian defeat" and "America 1783: the French victory". Not holding my breath though. Tirailleur 12:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inconsistent Tone 

message: I moved this article to "decorative painting" because I believe that the content is best described as "decorative painting" (the term is a way to differentiate between artistic painting on a canvas or the ceiling of a cathedral and every other kind of painting, like cars, boats, houses and offices). Perhaps "painter and decorator" (the old name) is a common job term in other countries (I live in the United States). However, to me, it seemed like a very awkward way to come up with a way to separate it from artistic painting. If it is a common term in Europe and/or commonwealth countries, I think that we should try to come up with some sort of international compromise, as I have never heard it before coming across this article. Also, the naming conventions favor the use of the gerund ("ing" ending). There are times when there is enough information to have articles on more than one version of a term, such as with engineer and engineering. However, that is not the case here, at least not yet. Wallpapering was mentioned in the move back to the old title, but the article makes only three mentions of wallpapering and two out of the three mentions are about the removal of wallpaper so that the wall can be painted. Also, the third mention seems to be about making fake wallpaper by stenciling. Finally, most, and possibly all, of the article needs to be rewritten anyway because it has no sources. I suggest replying here if anyone has a problem with any of this. However, it would help a lot if a notice were put on my talk page, as I do not watch all of the articles that I edit. There are simply too many. Thanks, Kjkolb (talk) 10:29, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
