Talk:The Judge Charles J. Vallone School

message: As the reviewing administrator, the article is not altogether hopeless, so I removed the speedy tag. Be aware that the article may well be nominated for deletion nonetheless through WP:AFD. 
There's a good deal of improvement needed: I started, by removing some totally not notable information: the list of duties of the various school personnel for example. 
Please see WP:BFAQ and WP:COI for information about writing articles on subject close to you. And then see WP:FIRSTY for an idea of what WP articles should be like. 
In practice, it is unusual for an elementary school to have sufficient distinctiive or notable features to be appropriate for an encyclopedia,and almost all such articles of deleted, or merged into an article for the school district. It is possible that the references might support it in this case--that will be for the community to decide.
WP uses "advertising" to mean "public relations" as well as commercial advertising. Comparisons with two of the most prestigious high schools in NYC are a little besides the point. Most articles on high school are considered encyclopedic, for there is almost always notable content such as famous alumni, or academic or athletics prizes.

thread_title: What is needed

message: Some investigation seems to show that the "Revision as of 09:01, 14 December 2007" (diff) was the one when the bogus entry  << "Category:High schools in New York" >>  was added.  
But this school is NOT a high school! (right?)  So, it does not belong in that category.  (right?)
If so, then why did that mistake remain in the article for so long?  Maybe partly because [almost] no one ever reads this article?  That would be plausible.
If I do not hear differently (e.g., here on this talk page) within some reasonable time, I may look in to changing this.  (Is there a category for Elementary schools in New York?)   --Mike Schwartz (talk) 22:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Virginia–Virginia Tech rivalry

message: I deleted the word "notable" in the first paragraph where it said "with the notable exception of football" because I think the word doesn't add anything and because I think it may compromise neutrality. Viewed from a different point of view, one might argue that it's equally notable that UVA leads the series in all of the sports listed except football, so it boils down to an opinion issue on what is "notable" and what is not. (Consider that traditionally many folks at ACC schools would consider basketball to be the most "notable" sport.) It seems to me that the point is made with equal validity if the sentence just says "with the exception of football." 1995hoo 15:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: First paragraph

message: An anonymous Blacksburg phone-based IP address has recently been removing content from this article about which sports are played and not played in the rivalry. I think it's obvious that this information pertains to the rivalry, and paints a complete picture of why it is the way it is. Please comment here if you are a regular contributor to this article and would like to weigh in. The quoted material that Anonymous deletes is below:
The programs do not square off in all sports, as Virginia Tech does not field as many teams. For instance, the celebrated UVA men's lacrosse team (Hall of Fame UVA coach Dom Starsia is the winningest Division I men's lacrosse coach in history, with multiple national titles), has never played against a Hokie team and is therefore not a participant in the Clash. Virginia Tech does have a women's lacrosse team, but has yet to field a squad to compete in the men's game. Other ACC varsity sports Virginia fields teams in, but Virginia Tech does not, are field hockey and rowing (another sport where UVA won recent NCAA titles, in 2010 and 2012). Neither program sponsors men's or women's fencing, the only ACC sport that UVA does not have.
I propose to keep it but perhaps make it more NPOV (drop the word "celebrated," perhaps).

Talk:List of lieutenant governors of Mississippi

message: Lipscomb died June 22, 1850, so he did not serve until 1851. He was presumably replaced as senate president by John Guion, because Guion became governor when Governor Quitman resigned on Feb. 3, 1851. Some sources claim Guion served because Lipscomb was living but gravely ill, but this is almost certainly an error as multiple good sources put Lipscomb's death in mid-1850. (See this transcript from a Nashville newspaper, for instance: https://www.tngenweb.org/records/tn_wide/obits/nca/nca50-05.htm ) Guion served as governor until November 4, 1851, when the end of his state senate term ended his term. The office was then vacant until Whitfield was elected president of the senate (and thus governor) on November 24th. He served as governor until January 10, 1852. I think it would be illogical to list him as both governor and president of the senate for that period of time; I don't know if he retained his senate post, but he wasn't "lieutenant governor" since he could hardly be his own successor. If the list is correct, he went back to being senate president for the rest of his senate term.

Talk:Localism

message: From what I can tell, the definition of localism :
''
In general usage, localism (local+ism) refers to a tendency of local groups (cultures, nations, communities) to be narrow in their worldview, and dismissive of concepts which emphasise broader concepts of community, such as globalism and universalism. In this context, localism may refer to exclusive or self-oriented concepts (ethnocentrism, nationalism, and classism), and is often a suitable substitute for terms which may be considered more pejorative in particular contexts.''
doesn't seem to have a neutral point of view.  I've never heard of localism in this way and think it should be removed unless a reference or an article exploring this topic, is provided.  --Ryandwayne 16:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Estonian nationality law

message: Persons (without one parent being an Estonian citizen) who came to Estonia subsequent to the occupation by the Soviet Union are not Estonian citizens even if born in Estonia, but need to apply for naturalisation.
Although it is correct that such a person could choose to become a Russian citizen, the only other option was to become an Estonian citizen, but this choice was only open to people meeting ALL of the following requirements a) Must be 18 or obtained parental or guardian consent to become an Estonian citizen b) he or she must have resided in Estonia on a permanent basis for at least 2 years prior to and one year after the date of application c) he or she must know the Estonian language. In addition ANY of the following were NOT eligible to apply for Estonian citizenship a) foreign military personnel on active service b) persons who had been employed in the security and intelligence organisations of the USSR c) persons who had been convicted of serious criminal offences d) persons lacking a legal steady income.
Thus anyone choosing to become an Estonian citizen, but who was either not eligible or was unable to meet all the above requirents, was unable to obtain any form of citizenship and became 'stateless'.
It is therefore incorrect to state that a person becomes 'stateless' by simply not 'choosing' some citizenship; they became stateless because they were not eligible or were unable to obtain citizenship for a variety of reasons that include the above. Source for the above information is the UN Report of the secretary-general 'Situation of Human Rights in Estonia and Latvia'  A/48/511 issued 26 October 1993.
