Talk:Poynings' Law (on certification of acts)

message: a very sloppy article, which needs rewriting by someone knowledgable. Adam 04:16, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I just added some information to this. Its a part of a paper I wrote.

message: I changed it to Poynings' Law for now. Tbe more common way its spelt in the scholarship is Poynings' Law. I was under the impression it didn't have a name like that, but Poynings' Law/Act became nicknames for it, and its conventionally been referred as that since —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Turbo 22 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tompkinsville, Staten Island

message: This describes the same place as does Tompkinsville, New York. Adding the state name seems more uniform than the island name - Tompkinsville was its own separate town, at least once upon a time, but either way works for me. Stan 04:18, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

message: Though Tompkinsville's crime rate is not as high as that of those neighborhoods on Staten Island which do contain public housing projects,[citation needed] public intoxication and similar behavior is a problem,[citation needed] leading to signs being posted along the first few blocks of Victory Boulevard to the effect that "Drinking in Public is a Crime — Violators Will Be Prosecuted."[citation needed] In recent years, concern about illegal immigration from Mexico and other countries has grown as well.[citation needed]
First off, to start, the statements assumes that neighborhoods with public housing projects will have higher crime rates. This can vary. Where has it been reported that public intoxication is a problem? Has the NYPD reported this? To all of our knowledge, intoxication is as much a problem there as it is in Port Richmond, Rosebank or Tottenville. That sign can't serve as means for believing this. It'd be like seeing a sign that says jaywalking is illegal. It may not mean that people in what ever place it is get arrested more commonly for that, but rather that streets are busy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.230.11 (talk) 05:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Straits of Tiran

message: Not clear if "strait" or "straits" is more correct - the plural is more common according to Google, but for instance the official text of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty says "Strait of Tiran". In general govt websites are inconsistent though. Does anybody have a definitive source? Stan 04:59, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: Could someone provide a source for the recently added statement that "These straits have been declared international waters by the World Court"?  I've googled around for a source, and I cannot find one.  If this has been decided so, it would seem to be contrary to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which puts the strait within 12 mile national waters, but gives rights of "innocent passage" to international shipping. -- Rwendland 09:19, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: If ratified, the Treaty of Lisbon would abolish the pillar system. Responsibilities would be combined, albeit with slightly different powers.
so far, from what I hav seen going though a class on the EU, the pervious statement and graph is wrong. While the thrid pillr will be pretty much dead, the pillar system will not be totally abolished, as the secord pillar will be pretty much intact. Its better to define it as the 1st pillar wil be supernational pillar, and the secord the muti goverment pillar, but they will not be complety gone.

Talk:Perverb

message: Unfortunately I don't recall who invented this concept and the term. I may have learned about it in Martin Gardner's column or books. Perhaps it is an Oulipo invention?Jorge Stolfi 05:24, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

message: It is claimed:
:To be effective, a written perverb must have correct syntax, spelling, and punctuation, as in the "time flies" example above. Those that require a change in spelling or punctuation, like the "counting chickens" example above, may still qualify as "oral" perverbs.
Yet, most of the examples given result from incorrect punctuation, mostly left-out
commas. Writing confusing texts without proper punctuation is like shooting
sitting bulls. (In the spirit of the page---no offense to the chief.) I suggest
a corresponding clean-up.

Talk:Mount Athabasca

message: The sentence "Mount Athabasca is unusual, in that water flows to the Pacific Ocean from the western slope, the Arctic Ocean from the northeastern slope, and to Hudson Bay from the southeastern slope.[4]" Is subject to immediate deletion, because it is a circular reference to Wikipedia.  However, I put it in the article anyway, basically because it was so interesting, and I am hoping that someone may be able to find a more proper reference to this information, as I could not find one.  In the mean time, it could be legitimately deleted at any time.

Talk:Switch (BDSM)

message: This merger was  to highly contra productive. The Spanish, Italian, Dutch and German articles clearly show  that at least Switch, Top (BDSM) and Bottom (BDSM) are relevant single lemmata. Literature given there proofs this as well. Additionaly the merger was not tagged as described in Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages.
The argument about this being an "good compare-and-contrast article" is doesn't make any sense. I would like to see what would happen if I had merged capitalism&communism into an "compare-and-contrast article" deleting the original ones only because nobody answered to my merger ideas. Its really strange that there was allegedly no response to the pre-merger suggestions, nevertheless even the smallest amount of thoughtfulness should have prevented this. The intention to merge homosexual and BDSM topics in order to "compare-and-contrast" them while deleting the source article is at least original research if not POV. --Nemissimo 12:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: One thing that could be added is a discussion on the relationship between the garter snake and newts. The article does not mention anything about the co-evolution between the two organisms. More information could be added on how the newt and garter snake evolved together. 
Another thing that could be added to the article is a discussion on the evolution of resistance in the garter snake.  Garter snakes have developed such a high resistance to TTX, which is the toxin that newts produce, that they are now the only predator that can feed on the newt.  1.

Finally a discussion on the relationship between location of the garter snake and its level of resistance could be brought up. A study has shown that the location of garter snakes can be correlated to levels of resistance.   Brodie ED, Ridenhour B, Brodie E. 2002.

thread_title: Concerning "Note to translators"

message: Quote from the article, Correct translations include "Flugblatt" and "Wurfschrift" or "Schmähschrift" in German.
No, there are two mistakes in this sentence: The word Wurfschrift is absolutely unusual in German and has only got 132 google hits most of which are clones of this wikipedia article and therefore not actual examples for the use of this word. The word Wurfschrift is not even mentioned in the authoritative Grimms Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache, vol. 30, with the headwords going from Wurfscheibe to Wurfspieß (col. 2184-85), without any mention of a Wurfschrift.
And the translation "Schmähschrift" is wrong in this context, too. "Schmähschrift" is a synonyme for the German word "Pamphlet" in its derogatory meaning, but not a translation of the non-derogatory English term pamphlet. Therefore, both proposed translations "Wurfschrift" and "Schmähschrift" are wrong and have to be removed; but another correct German translation of the English word is (similiar to Russian) the word "Broschüre" (see also Pons Großwörterbuch für Experten und Universität Englisch-Deutsch, Deutsch-Englisch, 2001, p. 586). --131.220.97.115 (talk) 13:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
