Talk:Relief Camp Workers' Union

message: This was rated "B" previous to my seeing the article, but it currently has 1 (one) reference and a few 'citation needed' tags.  It is definitely not a B or even a C-class article at this time.  I have changed the quality ratings to 'start'.  PKT(alk) 20:11, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Quality rating

message: It is my plan to edit this article as it is clearly lacking proper citations. There are some articles or works referenced in the "Reference" section, however, they are not cited throughout the article. 
My plan is to review and read the reference list material and properly cite the information.
In addition to fixing the citations, I will also add more material to this page. 
This page is brief and to the point but it is lacking a lot of the crucial historical context that would help readers better understand how and why this union came into existence. 
Moreover, I will add more material to explain why the emergence of this union is important to Canadian history. 
Overall, the structure and foundation of this article are in good shape, it just needs a few minor adjustments.
Here is a preliminary list of sources I plan on using to add to this page.

Talk:Battle of Ballantyne Pier

message: The top section needs to be rewritten -- better yet, integrated into the article as a whole. It is quoted pretty much verbatim from the libcom.org article. It lacks headings and citations as well. Interesting to read, but it seems dumped on top. ifny (talk) 08:00, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Top section needs a lot of work

message: Shouldn't there be a separate article foer the pier?  Partly architecturally, but it does have more history to it than the Battle; I'm thinking that the old A-B Pier (what's left is the pilings beneath BC Place; this was the old main railhead/CPR liner dock) and others are noteworthy also, as with the grain terminals and old sugar refinery (Rogers or BC Sugar, or is that the same?).Skookum1 05:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I did a bunch today after noticing User:Bookandcoffee put the notice that it'll be featured on the Organized Labour Portal. But yeah, the pier could use an article. It featured cutting edge technology when it first opened in 1923, though I think most of the original buildings have been replaced. Some stuff could be used to beef up the Port of Vancouver article in the meantime. Also, I lumped J. S. Matthews and the archives into a single article, which should be separated at some point. I noticed that the City of Vancouver Archives did a bit of work on it, including donating a photo. Now there's an archives ya gotta like. bobanny 07:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Internment of Japanese Americans/Archive 5

message: Given the wretched state of citations on this page, we have the opportunity to select a style of citations for the article.  We have a number of embedded citations, but these are not catalogued well in the references section.  Given the controversies over sourcing, I think citations should be footnoted to encourage open citations.  It is much harder for a reader or editor to review the individual references with embedded citations.  Comments, anyone? --ishu 02:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi - so I have removed some of the composition tables as they took up loads of room, messed up the formatting, and were of a purely technical nature which I am sure the average reader will find of little use.  Better would be if some clever geologist (not me) could explain the data rather than leave in its raw form.  I've also added links and been trying to clean up generally.

message: Previously this article only mentioned the 123 tornadoes on June 15-16, but as I was looking at the data from this period, there was also substantial on June 17 as well (6/17 was a high-risk day).

Talk:Race and intelligence/Archive 35

message: One of the Pioneer Fund's books, Race differences in intelligence: An evolutionary analysis, points to how Inuits have larger brains than east asians, although extremely slightly, and have abnormally high IQ's for a hunter-gatherer populations, especially how their IQs remained relatively the same since even the 1930's. This supposedly lends credit to the idea that colder climates equals a bigger brain.
.........However, Rushton and the like ignore one crucial factor: Their diet. Inuits eat almost entirely fish, and it's a proven fact that a steady diet of fish can raise a person's IQ. I'll give you an idea of how much fish they eat.
Inuits, oddly, have darker skin than east asians, despite living in such cold climates. You'd almost expect them to have nordic skintones, eye coloration, and hair color. However, what makes their skin so dark? The vitamin D from the fish they eat. Not only that, but young Inuit children have very pale skin, with prominent, rosy red cheeks. Of course the darker skin color is partly genetic, but this gene once again comes from their high consumption of fish. The darker skin that comes with age is mostly due to both these genes and the vitamin D. Another thing to note about how much fish they eat are people who are half-white and half-inuit- outside of skeletal and facial features, their skin tone shows barely any evidence of Inuit admixture. Thus, the Pioneer Fund's assessment is dubious and has barely any credibility to claim victory for colder climates.
:Do you have any reliable source backing your claim that "it is a proven fact that a steady diet of fish can raise a person's IQ"?  Actually I would like to see references for all your claims, such as the fact that their skin is dark due to Vitamin D, and not just the fact that being constantly outdoors could darken their skin, especially due to the amplifying affects of snow. Also please remember to sign your comments :)  AmitDeshwar 07:02, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Agreed with Arbor, but I'll nevertheless put in my twopence' worth: considering that at the latitude the Inuit live, the night lasts months at a time and that even in the height of summer, the temperature doesn't go high enough (except for a very few days) to dwell outside in anything less than full clothing, I think it is fairly reasonable to assume that whatever complexion the Inuit have is not due to exposure of the skin to the sun.

Talk:Chinese Maritime Customs Service

message: shouldn't this article note that the Chinese Maritime Customs Service, although officially under the control of the Qing dynasty, was in actuality a tax collection agency (as the article description gives) for the British Empire (I am not certain of how the distribution of revenues would work or who it would go to)?  It is staffed by the British to collect taxes due to European powers in control of China.  Isn't that by any standard a colonial tax collecting agent?  Stevenmitchell 10:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Chinese Maritime Customs Service was mainly staffed by foreigners, but it did collect taxes for the Qing Empire. It is true that this gave the foreign powers a degree of supervision over Chinese finances, which they later used to collect indemnities, but the fact the remains that the Qing empire was ultimately the recipient of the taxes collected.--Niohe 13:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I wonder about the convenience of the "Literal Translation/Transliteration" column.
The Roberts 1837 reference given does not provide the names in that column, it provides an approximate transliteration of the Cantonese names of some of the factories.
It seems to me that the "Literal translation" names are just translations of the English/foreigner names into modern Chinese. 
They serve no purpose here as this is not the Chinese Wikipedia, unless they are used, say, in tourist brochures.
I propose that the table should have
* English name.
* Cantonese name in in characters
* Transliteration of the Cantonese
* Perhaps notes on the Cantonese names.
