Talk:Tax wedge

message: Why would you cite an obviously biased source on something as, relatively, unambiguous as the tax wedge? It is acknowledged in the text here that the source has ideological goals with its publications, so I don't think mentioning it strengthens the article. There must be other, less obviously biased, publications on this matter. Profani (talk) 12:12, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Aubrey de Vere, 1st Earl of Oxford

message: The Complete Peerage sets Aubrey III's birthdate as circa 1110, but there is compelling evidence that he was much younger than 31 at his father's death in 1141.  Yet he married for the first time in 1136-7 and, while it was possible that he was quite young when he wed, the fact that he was expected to defend his wife's claim to the county of Guines in 1138 suggests that he at least in his later teens by that time.  So he could have been born between 1115 and about 1120.  As a compromise between the Complete Peerage and 1120, I chose 'circa 1115.'Dearagon 03:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Hi Dearagon,
I notice you've deleted considerable material from the article, including the names of Aubrey de Vere's siblings. I must have inadvertently omitted the reference when I added them to the article some time ago. I believe it was an article by Julia Barrow (Barrow, Julia. "A Twelfth-Century Bishop and Literary Patron: William de Vere." Viator 18.1 (1987): 175-190.), referenced at . It's available online as a pdf file, and can be found by googling the phrase "12th Century Bishop re William de Vere". NinaGreen (talk) 20:54, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand the usual Wikipedia procedure is to leave a comment on the Talk page prior to deleting content which is sourced to reliable sources. You made quite a number of changes to the article, and as a result of the changes citation 3 now shows up as no citation at all, while citation 6 shows up merely as 'Book'. Could we work together on restoring the article to what it was? NinaGreen (talk) 15:53, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Israel Williams

message: Captain Israel Williams sailed from Salem harbor in 1798, in the ship Friendship, for Batavia, to find a market. His cargo consisted of the staples suited to the East India trade. When in latitude 22° 50' south, and longitude 21° 46' west, the ship's supply of water gave out. Captain Williams was thinking however. It was said that he was uncommunicative, even to his first officer, who often walked the quarter-deck with him. 
Yes, he was meditating. A great responsibility rested upon him. Not only were the lives of his officers and crew in his hands, but a valuable ship and cargo as well. 
The captain went to his cabin in a thoughtful frame of mind, not even noticing that the careless helmsman had luffed the ship up into the wind so that every sail was flapping. When the captain again made his appearance on-deck, he paced back and forth for a while, and then accosted his first officer as follows : "Get up one of the empty beef barrels from the hold, also one of the muskets and take the barrel out. I 'm going to try an experiment.".

Talk:United States Office of Education

message: The Brittanica Book of the Year for 1964 contains the term "office of education" at its Education entry, which suggests that the term "office of education" continued to be the official name of the unit from the 1870s to 1979 when the name became United States Department of Education and the Commissioner of Education became the Secretary of Education.

message: I restored the sentence from the Online Photographer regarding Kirkpatrick's work. It meets the WP standard for self-published work as it is published by Mike Johnston. Johnston is a very influential editor on the American photographic scene for the past decade. He was Editor-in-Chief of PHOTO Techniques magazine from 1994-2000 and from 1988 to 1994 he was East Coast Editor of Camera & Darkroom magazine. I think that his comment on Kirkpatrick's work is relevant.--Tom 10:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're pumping up Johnston a little here, but basically I agree with you. Whether or not this calls itself a blog, it's a lot more significant than the huge majority of blogs. I knew of Johnston a long time before I heard that he had a blog. And any top ten list that puts Nachtwey at 2 and Erwitt at 1 is unlikely to be silly. (While I have heard of several of the other photographers, I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't heard of no.3.) -- Hoary 10:57, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I think at a minimum the citation needs to have Johnston's name attached to it.  The point is that this is one person's opinion -- it has not gone through the editorial board of a publication and we don't know what COIs might exist between the two.  Even Johnston cautions that the list is "highly subjective, unapologetically U.S.-centric."  In addition, because the article again cites Johnston in another quote, the reader should be aware that both of these citations are from a single source.  The article's current construction disguises this fact. TheMindsEye 14:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Good luck getting stuff off eBay. I tend to think that unless one is ordering something from the former Soviet Union, any bid is a competition against rich idiots. For books, and perhaps magazines too, I recommend creating a watchlist at abebooks.com and being patient. I purchased an old photomag from the mid 90's: You call that old? I recently got a set of Asahi Camera, July 1936 to June 1938 -- and the four substantial bound volumes added up to a price that, hmm, plenty of "eBayers" (that odd species) might pay for such and such a single Alpa lenscap or similar. But back to the question: yes of course you may cite dead-trees sources. (I do so a lot myself.) -- Hoary 23:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: With all due respect to the previous editors, this article as it was written violated a plethora of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Among the most notable transgressions were a conversational, non-encyclopedic tone; abundant "peacock phrasing"; personal anecdotes that appeared to be original-research reminiscences; citations that did not support the text; a promotional, resume-like tone; non-reliable sourcing from an anonymous fan site; and uncited claims.

Talk:Cooper–Church Amendment

message: I wrote this on Cooper-Church Amendment, then realized there was a Cooper-Church amendment page when I attempted to move it.  I redirected Cooper-Church Amendment here. 
The Case-Church Amendment was an amendment by the United States Senate, passed on June 30, 1973. The ammendment was the first time that the Congress had resticted the deployment of troops during a war and voted against the wishes of the president. The vote was 58-37 in the Senate. The United States House of Representatives did not approve a modified version of the bill until December of 1973.   p. 121. 
Schmitz states that the amendment was a landmark in the history of opposition to the war, congressional initiatives to bring the fighting to an end, and efforts to control exececutive power in foreign policy.

On October 18, 2012, this article finished with a consensus in an AFD to Merge with Michigan-Michigan State Rivalry.  If Michigan State were to go on and win the Consensus College Football (FBS) Playoff Championship in 2016, this topic would more than likely be revisited (as the game itself would have had further implications at that point).  IF, however, Michigan State loses to Ohio State and the Buckeyes were to win out the 2015 season advancing to the Big Ten Championship, then I will leave the article on it's current user page where it will remain indefinitely for future need/reference.
