message: *They are based almost entirely on sources that are not addressing the subject of the article per se, or are not addressing it in connection with the subject of judicial activism, and therefore constitute original research.
*They obscure the subject of the article with material introduced by an abrupt segue, as described in WP:COATRACK.
*They give extreme undue weight to a particular point of view, to the extent that it has been expressed by anyone.
*They are partially cited to a web site of self-published writings, which this user has inappropriately cited in other articles.

Talk:Minicab

message: I have removed the two links a few times now, but an anonymous user has put them back.  The links are as follows:
*Minicabs to UK Airports
*Minicabs
I feel that those pages do little to explain minicabs.  In fact, they appear to be SEO pages with thin links to dispatch services.  In particular, click the first link and click "about us", or click the second and click "tips".  Both take you to very suspicious pages.
I'm trying to avoid a revert war.  If the anonymous user continues posting these links, I will request a third opinion.  lowercase 16:25, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:George Sassoon

message: For whatever it's worth I had some e-mail discussions with George while researching his famous father. 
I'm truly saddened and shocked that he is dead. Though it has been a number of years since last contact it feels like I talked to him just yesterday. He had an odd and wonderful sense of humor. 
In our discussions he mentioned that "The Manna Machine" was the result of a number of factors. His interest in translating Hebrew and his partnership with Rodney Dale. According to George the book was actually a bit of a joke. He and Dale simply found that the description in Hebrew lent itself to speculation on that description actually being a machine. He and Dale "ran with" the idea. Getting it published, according to George, was a joke on the owner of the publishing company. Wjbean 16:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of neighborhoods in Medina, Ohio

message: Hello. I have removed the  template from this page. The rationale given for prod was that "This is not an encylopedia article." While I agree that there is a lot of work to be done here, the fact that it is a list of neighborhoods does not make it ineligible for inclusion in Wikipedia. See List of neighborhood listings by city for a list of lists of neighborhoods, including Baltimore, Cincinnati, Lousiville, and more.
Depending on how much work can be done on this list, I'd be ok with merging it into the main Medina, Ohio article. Cheers, Lbbzman 16:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Volume (magazine)

message: On a couple of the releases, I am guessing wildly, and a few others, it's educated guessing.  All the releases which have a month, I'm sure of, based on dates on Discogs.com, or dates in the various Volume booklets.  On some of these albums, there are some discrepancies with the dates on All Music Guide (i.e. the AMG release date does not correspond with dates published in Volume itself), so I do not trust AMG for release dates.  Volume Thirteen was advertised as being already out in the Wasted: The Best of Volume, Part I booklet, so that ordering is a sure thing (no month on either of those releases though, which would be very nice to have).  As far as when Volume Fourteen came out, that's a wild guess, as is my placement of Volume Sixteen in the list.  In the Wasted booklet, they advertise subscribing up to Volume Seventeen, but I have found no reference on the net whether or not that issue even exists. — Wwagner 16:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Very good, though. I had a few of these albums and I assumed they had vanished off into obscurity.

message: I am going to get round to this article, and the other novels, at some stage in order to bring them up to spec. Whilst these books aren't widely available, they do have these secondary sources and so on that can augment it to the level specified by the notability guidelines. However, I feel that in order to properly write about the book, the character and faction articles that link to it must first be brought up a decent spec. With a foundation in out-of-universe characters and faction articles, I feel that I am better situated to produce the novel articles. It is a slow process, but most progress is.
In short, please do not take this notability notice any further to a deletion. Whilst it is likely to take a while for me to do it, I will get round to the novel articles and make it fulfil Wikipedia's guidelines. -- S@bre 09:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

text: In western culture, from the time of the ancient Greeks, human love and heavenly love differed. Human love (eros) began with physical liking. This concept developed gradually in Plato’s philosophy. However heavenly love (agape) is a spiritual life estranged from physical liking. Therefore, in Western thought, physical love and spiritual love were regarded as contradictory to some extent. However, in Japanese fundamental thought, physical love and heavenly love were intertwined and there is no distinction between the pure and clean love of a man for other men and his loyalty to his lord. A more profound concept of love is found among Persian mystics. Love is the opening chapter of mystics and travelers of the way. This lofty mystical love is developed from untold feeling and wholly forgets the beloved. He means love and his life is love and without love he is dead.
There are some problems that it's difficult to solve by minor editing.  Some of the main problems and questions are:
#If included in the article, the whole passage should be preceded by: "According to Hossein Karamyar in his paper "Samurai Culture is Congenial Toward Iranian Mysticism...".
#The claim about human and "heavenly" love in Western culture is at best over-general; it might be true of certain religious – especially Christian – writers, but not more generally.
#I'm not sure about the claim concerning Japan either; it again feels too general (and is a bit obscure as it stands).
#In any case, it's not clear why an article on Persian mysticism should be talking about Japan...
#The claim that Persian thought is more profound is PoV.
#What does "Love is the opening chapter of mystics and travelers of the way" mean?
#Who's the "he" in the last sentence?
In order to get other thought on this, it might be an idea to place the article at WP:RFC, but I'll hold off on that until we've had a chance to discuss it more intimately. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 11:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
