thread_title: Expansion

message: This article says:
*It was made as a response to the 1915 film The Birth of a Nation, and was meant to discredit the negative stereotypes perpetuated by the film. The Birth of a Race was released following the end of World War I.
Also, in Birth of a Nation, we say:
*In 1918 Emmett J. Scott helped produce and John W. Noble directed The Birth of a Race in response. The film portrayed a positive image of blacks. Although the film was panned by white critics, it was well-received by black critics and moviegoers attending segregated theaters.[citation needed] 
Yet the New York Times review of the movie makes no mention of any black characters or content. Instead, it describes it as anti-war and anti-German. IMDB reviewers mention some scenes depicting racial unity, but they are apparently not a core part of the movie's theme or plot. Since we don't have sources that support what we're writing, we should probably trim some of this.   Will Beback  talk   21:36, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A November 16, 2018, article in the Tampa Bay Times about the film's production in Tampa a hundred years ago sheds light on the muddled plot, which combined the theme of black achievement down through history with the WWI subplot of two white brothers fighting on opposite sides. The article has been expanded with this cite.  JGHowes   talk 14:52, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Secret combination (Latter Day Saints)

message: I removed the following statement from the article:
"In addition, LDS Apostle Ezra Taft Benson has described socialism, evolution, rationalism, and humanism as secret combinations (Conference Report, April 5, 1975)."
I checked the original source, and no where in the speech cited does Benson equate these with secret combinations. All he says about these is: "Our families may be corrupted by worldly trends and teachings unless we know how to use the book [of Mormon] to expose and combat the falsehoods in socialism, organic evolution, rationalism, humanism, etc."
Saying something contains "falsehoods" is a far cry from calling it a secret combination. –SESmith 23:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move 

message: Considering the Church Committee (and Marks/Marchetti before, for that matter) found that quite a few Mormons in the intelligence community protested/resisted various activities during the Cold War they were otherwise being compelled to participate in, have Mormon leaders *ever* stated anything about the history or threat of secret combinations within their own government that has nothing to do with communism, aside from these occasionally using the 'defense against communism' as a justification & facade for?  Many of these secret activities over the years that are highly embarassing were specifically for the personal gain of the operators, their family, friends, or those who would later employ them... often large companies seeking to gain greater wealth by utilizing covert actions, tax payer money, and criminal conduct to oppress, imprison, or murder people.  Some were even downright lunatic cults engaged in gunrunning and murder in Latin America for Christian fundamentalist (even new-age & occultist-laced) ideologies, with home bases within the USA and quasi-legit covers.  Seems like a convenient, jingoistic selective myopia Mormon general authorities are exhibiting talking exclusively about communists and the mob.  If their motivations were of divine origin, one would think The Almighty would have the prescience to realize communism was a dead-end that would implode on itself out of its own mismanagement and inefficiency.  Any quotes of them ever broadening their targets other than in the most generic sense?  -Reticuli  71.65.115.103 (talk) 20:57, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Neckline

message: Hi, I restored the Clothing category for a few reasons, which I hope will seem sensible:
* I wanted the article to be found in the same category as its sister articles, such as Waistline (clothing) and Hemline, which are in the Clothing category.
* Strictly speaking, a neckline is not a top but rather its upper boundary.  Moreover, necklines can be found on gowns, which are not really tops in the traditional sense.  
An alternative and perhaps better solution would be to categorize the Necklines category directly under the Clothing category, rather than under the  Tops category.  I was reluctant to do that, however, without consulting its creator first -- hi, E! :D

message: The word kvæði means song or ballad, but for sure not dance. The Faroese rindgdance is called føroyskur dansur ("Faroese dance").

Talk:1954 FIFA World Cup squads

message: The article currently says that Scottish coach Andy Beattie "quit after first match; remaining match was managed by a selection committee". No source is cited.
In the squad list at FIFA.com both Beattie and Dawson Walker are listed as coaches, while both match reports list only Beattie as the coach (v Austria, v Uruguay).
RSSSF's squad list only lists Beattie, and provides no additional information.
The source scotlandfootballstats.co.uk says: "Beattie announced a shock resignation hours before Scotland's final group match, although he took charge until after the 90 minutes." Beattie is listed as the manager in both match reports (v Austria, v Uruguay).

This is ambiguous at best (is the novel "juvenile" in that it's like the premature effort of a kid? or is the novel aimed at kids?); lousy English at worst.

Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ice hockey)

message: My reasons are as follows:
#Botching diacritics can be seen as very disrespectful by native speakers;
#Botching diacritics can be a strong indication that the editor has little or no knowledge/acknoledgement of their functions and/or linguistic/cultural significance;
#With new generations of computers and tablets becoming more and more available, the "I don't know how to type it" excuse is becoming no longer valid.
Therefore, I would like to propose these replacement articles: 
# "Diacritics should be applied in accordance with exactly how they are applied in verifiable, reliable sources."
# "If no verifiable, reliable English sources are available, their non-English counterparts (like this news release by the Czech Ice Hockey Association) shall be deemed acceptable." Cedric tsan cantonais 17:13, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I think we need to update the Team naming sub-section, as the NHL team article has since been moved to St. Louis Blues. -- GoodDay (talk) 18:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a much bigger naming issue: Articles purportedly titled with team names are typically mal-titled with an association name, which is used by numerous teams supported by that association, playing in several divisions based on ages (IP, Novice, Atom, ... Maj. Jr.) and skill levels. There are standard development paths within and among associations. Normally a tier-1 team is fed from several tier-2 teams within its geographic area.  A specific team article should identify that team's home rink, age group, skill level, association, league, feeder teams and parent team affiliations. Similarly, a league article should identify a governing body, age group, skill level, member teams, and geographic area. An association article should normally identify the supported teams at different ages and levels, home rinks, etc. All of this is being confused by the practice of using the association name for its highest-tier team article. It would be far better to adopt a naming convention of explicitly stating the division in the team article title. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:13, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

I don't think it's very far along and they may not be doing it elsewhere, but it's a start, and I think it means the tide is turning.
