Progress for America Voter Fund Statement on the
Announced Settlement with the Federal Election Commission.
Today, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) announced its settlement with Progress for America Voter Fund (PFA-VF) related to activities in 2004.
Under the terms of the settlement, PFA-VF is not admitting to any wrong doing. In order to conclude the matter, PFA-VF will pay $750,000 and agree to register as a political committee if it undertakes any activities similar to those in 2004. With this settlement, all actions regarding PFA-VF are concluded.
PFA-VF was formed in 2004 and prior to any PFA-VF communications, the Federal Election Commission had refused to:
    * clarify by advisory opinion how the newly enacted McCain-Feingold bill impacted 527 organizations (ABC PAC);
    * act upon a complaint charging the 527 groups with violating the law (Bush-Cheney ’04, RNC), and
    * issue a rulemaking delineating permissible 527 activities.
The FEC’s inactions left all 527 groups, including PFA-VF, to their own interpretation of the law. The FEC subsequently announced a “case by case” enforcement policy and opened investigations into violations of the very statutes for which the Commission had refused to provide guidance.
Responding to the announced FEC settlement, Progress for America Voter Fund legal counsel Benjamin L. Ginsburg issued the following statement:
“Today’s settlement brings to close a disappointing chapter in the evolution of election law. Despite Congressional pressure to impose some set of rules or provide guidance for so called ‘527’ groups, the FEC still refuses to do so. Given the ambiguous legal nature of this situation and the cost of litigating this dispute, PFA-VF has decided it is a more prudent use of its resources and energy to conclude this proceeding.”  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.50.52.46 (talk) 12:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Updating 

message: @Asher Heimermann. The subject of the article is the Mirro company, not just one of the buildings that it once owned.  The one old building is NOT the subject of the article.  If you want to be consistent, you would need to take and post photos of ALL the buildings that they owned and then add them to the gallery. And I stand corrected, the building you photographed still exists.  What was demolished was the three-story structure in the NE corner of that block.  You did not post photos of the southern building in that block, the building in the next block west, or the buildings in the industrial park in the NE of Manitowoc on Mirro Drive.  Again, I reiterate, the SUBJECT of the ARTICLE is the COMPANY, not ONE of its old BUILDINGS. Nyth63 15:04, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

3. I can not think of a way to say this same phase in Cantonese nor Mandarin that are not overwhelmingly clumsy. There is such a thing regarding to nickname. It has to "run" smoothly out of your speech. 
4. As most people in Hong Kong do not use English on their day to day conversation, having such a nickname seem unrealistic.

Talk:Central Police Station (Hong Kong)

message: The whole complex seems to be known locally these days as Tai kwun. I imagine locals are only too happy to forget the ‘Central Booking’ colonial past of the Central Police Station, although westerners often still refer to it that way. I would be inclined to call it Tai Kwun (formerly Central Police Station) AineNiDhea (talk) 15:07, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Tai Kwun does not refer only to the Central Police Station, but also the old prison and magistracy. I think it's better to leave the name the way it is and add a note that it is now part of the Tai Kwun complex. My own impression the general feeling towards our colonial history is that there are a small number of people who are highly opinionated, but that most are fairly neutral on the subject (in fact, if the frequent articles in the newspaper about removing post boxes and renaming streets is anything to go by, the public may be more in favour of keeping the old names than you suspect, but it's not possible to say for sure without actually asking them). In the absence of actual evidence of public sentiment, I would suggest not leaping to conclusions. Kdm852 (talk) 05:20, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

message: I removed the statement:
:Much of Europe has not experienced a domestic religious threat since the Wars of Religion.
because it is disputed by this mini-debate found in HTML comments:
*Is this true: the IRA were a domestic religious terrorist threat, for example
*The IRA were not religious, their goal was to force the British to leave Ireland 
*Not entirely true, the IRA tend to be extremely devout Catholics; there are no agnostics or atheists in their camp, also the PIRA cannot be delinked from their Catholic roots and the Catholic nationalist avatars that inspire them. What is going on in Northern Ireland is indeed a (mini) cultural war, but religion and culture are inextricably linked, so no whitewashes please. The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland and especially its clerics have a basically avuncular relationship.

Yes of course the major reason for IRA violence was because the citizens of Northern Ireland did not have "clean drinking water, education, vaccination programs, provision of food and shelter".
