*Strong oppose The concentration camp gets four times as many pageviews, and is often referred to by the name "Ohrdruf", without "concentration camp" attached (just a few examples ). "Ohrdruf" is best known in English speaking countries as the concentration camp toured by Patton and Eisenhower. Pageviews strongly suggest that readers who search "Ohrdruf" are more likely to be looking for the camp. (How many readers will type out "Ohrdruf concentration camp", especially on a mobile device?)

I really DON'T think this should have been merged with Christian Humanists and Rationalists, because it doesn't really say anything about what that SEPARATE organization does, only that CVA is a member.  It serves to possibly bias people against the CVA by listing them along side Christian Polygamists.  It perhaps should be mentioned that CVA is a part of that group, but it does not need to go into detail about that group itself.

message: If we are going to do a 'treatment' (suitable for Wikipedia), we will need some 'original research' on whether or not there is documentation of all the denominational organizing of vegetarians, vegans, and environmental diets (as well as animal advocates).  To my mind, a standard of looking mostly at what journalists recognize as 'notable' makes fun of one of the primary challenges of our time - to the objectivity of journalists.  Anyway, throughout the 80s and 90s and into this century there have been efforts to pull together vegetarian practitioners in religious communities where they were a statistical minority.  I doubt that we have much printed record of that, though a number of seemingly/putatively 'denominational' vegetarian discussion lists emerged (YahooGroups.com and GoogleGroups.com and eGroups.com before that). Also, The American Humanist Association took 'classified advertising' from any group willing to pay for it, giving seeming legitimacy in its publications for all kinds of tangential groups (such as SEA, the Society of Evangelical Agnostics - who advocated that a sense of mystery and not knowing in ultimate matters is the right way to live one's life. Thus, I question that something on the order of a classified advertisement is worthy of Wikipedia coverage.  Also, Nathan Braun was involved in the early days of CVA, and 'biographical factors' intervened (so he is not - suddenly). MaynardClark (talk) 18:19, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Overfishing

message: I think the section on "Resistance from fishermen" could actually be very important but just having one lengthy quote there is not doing this issue justice. Can we at least have a few sentences with good reliable sources? (or if this is covered in another Wikipedia article then link to it or take content from there?). This is in response to User:Epipalegic who put the long quote back in with this edit summary: "This is an ever-present tension which should be acknowledged in the article. For those of us with lived experience in the (let's be impeccably "woke") intersection between the down to earth, oops, I mean down to sea fisherman and the academic fisheries scientist, this is an evocative and very relevant passage, sourced to arguably the most prominent fisheries scientist in the world today".
This is the quote in question: 
In my opinion, this quote is overly wordy. It's also 16 years old and in a minor publication (Fisherman Life). There are bound to be better quotes or better information about this topic somewhere.

message: An anon recently added "The local slogan es ´´Vallekas por la kara´´" I've brought that over here to talk, because it is really quite unclear. 
#Without a translation/explanation this doesn't mean much. "Kara" is not a Spanish word. I assume that along the pattern of Vallecas ==> Vallekas it is to be read as "cara" (face), but so what? "Vallecas for the face"? Like zits or what?
#In what sense is this "the local slogan"? Something the schoolkids say, or what?

His last book, The Forked Road: Canada, 1939-1957, is a clear example of how out-of-touch he became in later years" as it reflects a objectionable Trudeaupian POV in which anybody who is or was totally 110% for the Liberal Party and Pierre Elliot Trudeau is a racist, bigot and worse.

replies: text: As a major contributor to these articles, I decided to recuse myself from discussion of the merge proposal. Although I prefer to keep them all separate, merging would be fine if the information is retained in the parent article. Instead, you simply deleted the content of the individual paper articles (including information about staff, ISSN/OCLC, circulation, more detailed history, etc.) and redirected them to the parent company article. I do object to this, as it is not the merge procedure as outlined at WP:MERGE, of which there are three options: Full-content paste merger, Selective paste merger, and Text dump merger.

thread_title:  miraculous medal worn by Protestants 

message: In the first paragraph of "Childhood and youth", the article makes two assertions that appear to conflict:
# "Her baptismal name was Zoe"
# "Catherine was her baptismal name."
No sources are given for either assertion.
According to the document cited in footnote 4 of the article, she was born on 2nd May:
"Next day, the feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross, she was baptized and given the name Catherine, though she was always called Zoe, probably in honour of the Saint on whose feast she was born." (p.4)
This statement seems to contradict the claims in the article "Her baptismal name was Zoe, after Saint Zoe, whose feast day falls on her birthday, but her family rarely used that name."
It appears that Catherine was her baptismal name, and Zoe was more akin to a "saint's name". And it appears that the family used Zoe, not Catherine, contrary to the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by IAKenny (talk • contribs) 07:37, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Is there a difference in scope between Stanley Coveleski Stadium and Four Winds Field?
The reason I ask is of course that, to an outsider, the names Four Winds Field at Stanley Coveleski Stadium and Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium seem to cover related topics but with different scopes, the former more specific than the latter, and we need to decide which of these topics is to be the focus of the article. But if Four Winds Field is the whole of Stanley Coveleski Stadium rather than just part of a larger complex, then that isn't a consideration. 
Local politics (and particularly those concerning naming rights negoatiations) do often lead to such confusing names. The article needs to make this clear, and that's probably far more important then the article title is. Andrewa (talk) 17:48, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
