message: This article has major problems with an overenthusiastic fan adding all sorts of material that is simply inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. Just because you can find some fan page on the Internet saying something does not mean that it is either true or, more importantly, that it is notable enough for mention on Wikipedia. Some of this content here doesn't even attempt to give sources, and some of it finally made the attempt but chose to include YouTube videos that are just converted personal PowerPoint presentations and so forth.
The main editor in question adding this poor content has stated his/her intention to just keep restoring it over an over despite what anyone says. This is a violation of Wikipedia's policies. I would strongly suggest this individual take the time to learn how Wikipedia is supposed to operate and start following our rules. It may be though that his/her agenda for the article is simply incompatible with this website. It sounds like what he wants is a personal Deadly Friend wikia site with all the trivia he could ever want, or his own personal website to post his own opinions and views.

Talk:Military Intelligence Directorate (Israel)/Archive 1

message: I would like to restart the discussion about apostrophes in the article (and in the title in particular). I strongly believe the apostrophes are misplaced in all the transliterations of Hebrew abbreviations that appear in this article, specifically: A'man, A'gam, Ha'man, Moda'sh and Matk'al (in cotranst to Be'eri and Ya'alon, which are correct). I am aware that such spelling may appear elsewhere occasionally, but I claim it is incorrect nevertheless.
The article Apostrophe Now, provided by El C, states three cases in which the apostrophe is used in Hebrew-to-English transliteration:
#To indicate a glottal stop (such as Yisra'el or Gil'ad). By definition, it must come before a vowel; this only  occurs in "Matk'al", though still not applicable, as there is no glottal stop here, the word is composed of two syllables, "mat" and "kal".
#Following a schwa. This is not applicable to any of the five.
#To separate proclitic prepositions and articles from the main word. This is not applicable to any of the five.
A Hebrew article on transliteration by the Academy of the Hebrew Language gives similar rules. In addition, it states that an apostrophe should be added where a pair of letters may be mistaken for a digraph (such as mats'hiv or mat'sis), also not applicable to any of the five. Also, apostrophe may be used to distinguish between alef and `ayin (though the grave accent (`) is preferred), which is also not applicable here as there is no `ayin in any of the five abbreviations.
Therefore I propose to remove the apostrophes from all of the abovementioned abbreviations, including renaming the article, because:
*They constitute incorrect spelling, and even if such spelling is sometimes used elsewhere, Wikipedia shouldn't propagate it.
*They are less esthetic spellings.
*The spelling without the apostrophe is arguably more common.
Another issue is the very use of some of these abbreviations. I think "Haman" and "Matkal" are better substituted with "Intelligence Corps" and "General Staff", respectively.
Finally, if my suggestion is accepted and "A'man" is transformed into "Aman", then a new name for the article is needed, since Aman is already in use. I suggest "Aman (military intelligence)" or "Aman (IDF)". Any other suggestions?
--Doron 08:48, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, since there are no objections, I will proceed by removing all incorrect apostrophes except for the ones in A'man (because those would require renaming the article). I urge editors to propose an alternative name for "Aman" (without the apostrophe) or otherwise point out why there should be an apostrophe).--Doron 11:50, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Just wondering my grand father on my fathers side was in the Special Z force. John Davis. He did not actually go on the missions he was in adelaide on the radios to the men, heard he could hear them in trouble but couldnt do anything. He was in adelaide when it was bombed. Not sure how to find out more about his job or other missions if anyone could help would be greatful. Also Gramps was not allowed to talk about it untill a few years ago. We all thought he was in the loundry service. I was too young to remember his stories but would love it if anyone has anything to tell me about my gramps.

Talk:Ritualism in the Church of England

message: I have suggested a change in the section dealing with the "eastward position," which the current article opposes to the "westward position," with the priest facing the people across a free-standing altar. Both the eastward and westward position have been in use since ancient times, depending on the orientation of the church itself. The official Anglican practice in the late nineteenth century was the "northside" celebration of Holy Communion, with the celebrant standing at the north side of a wooden table placed lengthwise in the chancel. This appeared first in the 1552 Book of Common Prayer, and remained in the 1662 edition, which was the only official version at the time of the ritualist movement. 
The only Anglican church at which I have observed use in modern times of the "north end" celebration is All Souls' Langham Place in London, a bastion of low churchmanship.

thread_title:  Legacy of the Ritualist Movement 

message: It is my understanding and experience that in England, especially in the Church of England (and also with Anglicans elsewhere), the expression is nearly always "bells and smells".  The reverse form, "smells and bells", seems to be used more in North America (and often by Roman Catholics for some reason).  I suggest that as this article is principally focused on the history of Ritualism in the Church of England that it is more appropriate that the usual C of E form of the expression be used in this article.  I think it is also more likely to be the original version. Anglicanus (talk) 09:10, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The page for steampunk states:
Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction which came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. It concerns works set in the past, or a world resembling the past, in which modern technological paradigms occurred earlier in history, but were accomplished via the science already present in that time period.
What modern technological paradigms were introduced into the Anno Dracula books earlier in history than their real-world equivalents?  Anno Dracula does feature appearances by characters like Dr. Moreau or Dr. Jekyll, but no one would call their original works "steampunk," nor is their technology an important part of any novel's plot.

thread_title:  Disney 

message: The article used the ethnic slur "redneck" as if it were a legitimate descriptive term for white Southerners (or perhaps only for "bad" white Southerners).  It did link the term to the article "Redneck (Stereotype)", but acknowledging the stereotype is not the same as acknowledging the slur.  If the article dealt to the slightest degree with the use of anti-Southern stereotypes in film, the use of the term, in quotation marks and in context, might be legitimate.  As it was, it was simply a slur.  Had the film featured a shtetl full of vengeful Jews who slaughtered a party of unsuspecting Germans, it would have been inappropriate to refer to the Jews by an analogous epithet, even if that epithet were connected to a stereotype employed in the film.
I have deleted the term, replacing it in one instance with "white Southerners".  (In the other instance, it was used as an adjective, modifying "citizens", so I simply deleted it.)
