thread_title:  Article titles for villages in the Borough 

message: The article has a list of civil parishes which are part of the Borough of Swindon. These include St Andrews which apparently does not have an article in Wikipedia. Does St. Andrews refer to the former ecclesiastical parish of Blunsdon St Andrew, or is this another parish altogether? the Blunsdon article does not clarify the situation. Could some explanation be given?--Oldontarian (talk) 18:48, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Parish of St. Andrews (marked in red) 

message: Per WP:BRD, I am opening a discussion on how best to phrase the lead. Before I tried to change it (and again now, as it has been reverted), the lead reads:
This struck me as long-winded, awkwardly phrased and with a lot of extraneous detail. I proposed replacing it with this: 
The background is that Wiltshire (now a ceremonial county) is governed by two authorities, Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire Council. The problem is that, unlike Bedfordshire where each of the new authorities has a new name, the Government allowed WC to keep the old name despite its remit only covering part of the county.
In reverting my change,  does not specify their objections, only that they don't like it, so I have to guess:
# "Ceremonial county of" is redundant: Wiltshire is a ceremonial county (and a historic county). That the council for one bit of the county uses the name of all of it is neither here nor there.
# "the urban area and town of" is just background noise. Swindon is big enough and significant enough not to need this cliché phrase.
Can anyone do better or indicate their support for one or other version? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 15:27, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Threat of force (public international law)

message: Bearian 23:49, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: a passage in Brownlie’s International Law and the Use of Force by States (at 364) to the effect that "a threat of force consist in an express or implied promise by a government of a resort to force conditional on non-acceptance of certain demands of that government".
If we change this to a threat of force consists of an express or implied promise by a government of a resort to force conditional on non-acceptance of certain demands of that government then this makes sense. Is this strong enough for the article? Until someone comes up with something better (Brownlie's text does not seem to be online), IMHO it should be OK.

However, I don't recall the name "Degrassi" being used, but something else?
So, did the BBC have their own version adapted from the Canadian one? Did they play it under a different name? Or was I simply drunk?

message: Presently, the first paragraph of this article ends with this sentence:
:Tamworth was held by independent member Tony Windsor between 1991 and 2001 when he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Member for New England.
Whilst I accept the importance of Tony Windsor in the current state of Federal politics, I question the significance to position this sentence within the opening paragraph. I acknowledge the fact that he held this state seat for ten years; yet I also note that there are other politicans who held the seat for significantly longer periods of time and probably achieved more for the electorate.
