Talk:Confederation of Regions Party of Canada

message: The talk over at Talk:National Party of Canada has prompted me to revisit this chat I had with Jord last month:
:I imagine your recollection of CoR's colouration in NB is better than everyone else's, so thanks for switching it over to green.  The thing is, I have a feeling that the CoR federal colour (moccasin, I think) was selected some time ago purely because that end of the colour wheel was unclaimed and there was no solid info of any actual colouration.  That makes me wonder if we should, barring evidence to the contrary, use the NB colours nationally.  (As an added bonus, it would stop the clash between CoR-Ontario and the Family Coalition Party that's on the charts at the moment).  The amount of free colour space is getting a little tight around the green end of the spectrum (GPC, Socreds, Libertarian and Reform all cohabitated in that era, unfortunately) which might complicate things a little, though.  Thoughts? -The Tom 23:52, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It really doesn't matter to me - the federal party was pretty minor and only contested a couple of elections.  I wonder if they had enough money to produce any signs or coloured documents?  If not it may be impossible to tell!!  I'd say leave well enough alone for now as we only know that CoR was green in NB. - Jord 00:36, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Night-watchman state

message: From the article...
As a term, night-watchman state (German: Nachtwächterstaat) was coined by German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle in an 1862 speech in Berlin. He criticized the bourgeois liberal limited government state, comparing it to a night-watchman whose sole duty was preventing theft. The phrase quickly caught on as a description of capitalist government, even as liberalism began to mean a more involved state, or a state with a larger sphere of responsibility.
From me...
How could minarchy possibly be confused with any capitalist government?  There is nothing minimal about capitalist governments, as they are all massive bureaucracies.  LOL.

Talk:Jedi Temple

message: I thought I read somewhere once that the Imperial Palace was built on the site of the Jedi Temple, or that the temple had become part of the palace complex.
JesseG 21:06, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
Hi, just a brief question with regard to the Jedi Temple. My sense is that the text of the Wikipedia entry is misleading as the High Council Tower is separate and distinct from the Temple Spire.  The "HCT" is one of the four smaller spires, whereas the Temple Spire is the central and tallest spire.  The "HCT" is, clearly, the home of the High Council, whereas the Temple Spire has three functions - functions which are not altogether compatible;
1. Place of Contemplation
2. Near the base of the spire - site of flight deck for Jedi Starfighters/ Gunships
3. From ROTS - Site of Jedi War Room - either mid-spire or higher.
My sources for this distinction are Inside the Worlds of Star Wars:  Episode I, Star Wars:  AOTC, I am a Jedi Apprentice, and The Making of Revenge of the Sith
Any thoughts??

Talk:Mariza

message: I find it very strange and odd what this article states in its 3rd paragraph:
The family lived for a while in Brazil, where her singing style was strongly influenced by the musical rhythms of that country's popular music. When the family returned to Portugal she again immersed herself in the fado genre, infusing it with a Brazilian-beat undertone.
Not only i find it misleading, since it tries to put brazilian music in her fado repertoire, but i also think this is an unnecessary statement in the intro of the article. To me, it sounds untrue and a very forced idea to say that brazilian-beat is infused in her fado repertoire. Mariza sings Fado music not brazilian influenced fados, as the current wording states. And for this im opening a discussion. Also waiting for sources to sustain that idea. Tacv (talk) 19:25, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Shoobie

message: My family goes back over 100 year in Atlantic City, NJ... so we know a thing or two about shoobies.  There are a few things in the article that I would suggest editing.  If you need a citation for this, I'll write a blog entry about my grandparents (see below) and you can cite that.
1) The Shoe BEAch is one valid potential origin.  Another is SHOE Boxer... "shoob".  
2) The origin of the term is actually a little earlier: in the 1920's and 1930's, there was a train from Camden, NJ to Atlantic City.  Day trippers from Philadelphia... mostly people who could not afford to stay the night... would take the ferry to the train and then spend the day out of the heat of the city.  In fact, the train had a better price on multi-trip tickets and these tickets were then shared by groups of people, with one person in the group using it on a given weekend.  (Yes, even those few pennies saved were important.)  Because these people were pretty poor, they economized by bringing everything they needed rather than paying inflated resort prices.  My grandparents ("the Philly side of the family") met on one such trip in 1929 and spent the next 80 years together.
3) Shoobies are not a "mixed blessing".  The term is derogatory specifically because true shoobies do not bring revenue.  Think about it: if a day tripper brings "everything he needs in a shoe box including food," then he buys nothing from the beach community.  Therefore, a shoobie draws on the resources of the community (e.g., the local taxes pay for lifeguards and beach cleaning) and adds to traffic/crowding, while contributing no economic benefits.  This draw on local resources has been ameliorated only in the last few decades through beach fees/tags and by an increase in the number of people staying overnight.  Thus, originally a shoobie is "not like a tourist at any resort" because tourists contribute to the local economy, while shoobies do not.

Talk:Xeper

message: Egyptologists do not transliterate this word Xeper. The transliteration of this word is spelled with a symbol which does not exist on any common computer font. It looks somthing like an h with a half a circle with the ends pointing up underneath it. Because of the lack of this symbol, x is often used to replace it, however in formal transiteration there would be no vowels and the word would be transcribed, xpr. If the artical were to be named this, there would also need to be a note that the X is capitolized by technical restrictions, since Xpr would be an entierly different word.
Furthermore, no other article uses the egyptian computer transcription system. Note that Ankh is not AnH, which it would be in keyboard transcription. Thutmosis, whose prenomen actually contains xpr in it, is written Menkheperre Thutmose III, not mnxprrA Dhwtymss.
Lastly, xpr would be pronounced Kheper, not Kheffer. Amarna tablet data would indicate that xpr may have actually been pronounced akhpir, if anything.
This article should have its name changed to Kheper. Thanatosimii 01:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of mayors of Atlanta

message: The last editor (anon) tabulated the list and added party affiliation. While all of those folks he marks as Dems are generally known to be Dems, the Atlanta mayoral election is officially non-partisan.

replies: text: I meant to add a similar example that in the last mayoral election the three major candidates were all Democrats.  Since the effort has been made to find so many at this point however, I'd say that a notation stating the election is non-partisan would be sufficient.

Also, if you do support his stance, then why you do insist on adding Britannica here when he literally said "I, however, do not support the idea to use EB in parallel with reliable mainstream secondary sources. When such sources are available, EB can and should be removed." That is literally the case right now, as there is already another source that supports the Arab origin of al-Athir.

message: are ascospores produced asexually or sexually?
A little of both.  The ascus (sac-shaped cell in which the spores are produced) initially contains two nuclei from the two parent fungi, which fuse when the ascus is formed.  This zygote nucleus then undergoes meiosis to produce four nuclei, each of which then undergoes mitosis once to produce a total of eight ascospres.  The fusion and meiosis are a sexual process, but the following mitosis division technically is not.  -- EncycloPetey 04:51, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
