Talk:Thomas B. Edsall

message: I understand that one cannot write wikipedia articles about one's own professional work. So, I imagine, that to write articles about oneself is also unacceptable. I ask if this bio of Thomas B. Edsall has been edited by himself. The history of the article, shows a large number of edits (18) by T.edsall@verizon.net, who does not have a user page. The user T.edsall@verizon.net has also edited the biography of Karl W. Deutsch, who was Thomas B. Edsall father in law. I do not see any harm in these situations, but surely they are curious and should perhaps be clarified. Lcgarcia (talk) 06:26, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Not the author as such. He did correct some errors , and was reverted. Subsequently the article was reworked by myself and other editors to address some problems and checked for neutrality. - Bilby (talk) 06:31, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Edsall appears to be back & is trying to erase mild criticism from an established RS.  He's treading on thin ice and needs to back away. Rjensen (talk) 18:19, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The External links include reviews of some of his writings. Are they good enough to get some text in this article reacting to his writings? The article describes him and all his journalism, but does not make the case for the importance of it, by indicating the responses of others, those valuable sources. I do not feel very skilled in assessing political opinion writing, so I did not make a start at excerpting from reviews or finding other secondary & tertiary sources.- - Prairieplant (talk) 08:06, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is the author of this bio-article also the subject of the article?   

message: I do see the value in the description of Edsall for a recent source, but I am uncomfortable with giving a 23 year old quote prominence, with nothing newer to balance it. I've pulled it for now, as there seems to be a dispute, but are there any more recent accounts of him and his work we can use? - Bilby (talk) 01:26, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

message: I re-worked the article by putting it in chronological order, and separating the personal life from his career. I checked some old links to learn they are dead and marked them as such. I added some parameters in the info box so that more items from the article could appear there, like his college and what he is known for. There is an absence of comments on his commentary, which seems odd. - - Prairieplant (talk) 07:49, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Joseph C. Avery

message: Zero Google hits for Punckhammock, but a couple for Punckhannock. Sources on the web say he's from the non-existent "Lucerne County", PA, but there is Luzerne County. Then there's always Tunkhannock (which is in present-day Wyoming County, which was created in 1842 from part of Luzerne County.).  My vote is for his hometown actually being Tunkhannock, but without any sources to back it up, that's probably close to original reseach. Unless it falls under the "can be reasonably assumed from the data" or whatever that clause is. What do you say? Katr67 22:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Melusine (or Melusina) is a figure of European legends and folklore, a feminine spirit of fresh waters in sacred springs and rivers.
She is usually depicted as a woman who is a serpent or fish from the waist down (much like a mermaid). She is also sometimes illustrated with wings, two tails or both.

Talk:WDUR

message: This is "original research" which is why it isn't in the text of the article.  I'm not in any way trained in law or FCC regulations, but rereading the approval of the license transfer may provide a clue to why this transfer is not complete(the text/observation I did add).  
The "purchase" was not actually for $900k - it was based on no money up front, and a promissory note to pay the entire purchase price over 10 years, with the seller holding a security interest in the FCC license.  From reading what appears to be an authoritative web site by a broker who specializes in the transfer of broadcast licenses, this is improper.  FCC rules specifically prohibit a sale where the seller has a secured interest with a right to take the license back if the buyer fails to satisfy some future condition (like making payments on a note).  If that's factual, it is surprising that the FCC approved the transaction, since it includes the prommisory note in the filing and the collateral agreement which specficially mentions the license.StreamingRadioGuide (talk) 11:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ancient Arabs

message: Elias, you can't impose the Semitism on the Arabs.
Semitic is a European/Biblical term. Arabs considered themselves as Arabs and this article is talking about ancient history from an Arab prespective. Its irrelevant to the modern Arabism. If you want to start an article about the ancient Semites, start a new article. --Skatewalk 22:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, I agree, that Imninalu.net isn't the most unbiased source available. But look, ancient Arabs, and labelling all these ancient peoples as Arabs, that's not all right with me (some of them are my forefathers, and I refuse to take such insults as calling my forefathers "Arabs", considering what they're doing to Assyrians in Iraq right now ). Now look, Ancient Semites, is a better title for this page, since it deals with Semitic peoples in general, of ancient times. Here's my suggestion: keep the title Ancient Arabs, and remove over half of the non-Arabic Semitic peoples, or keep the title Ancient Semites, and make it more NPOV. Also, redirect properly, by moving. — EliasAlucard|Talk 00:18 10 Aug, 2007 (UTC)
Elias, I strongly disagree with the whole article, but I don't like the Anti-Arab attacks. And quoting Imninalu is offensive. I suggest that you start an article about Ancient Semites. Myself I will not edit it. Thats the temporary solution for this issue now, until the Jews and Arabs make peace then we can quote imninalu! --Skatewalk 22:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This was pointed out at AN/I- there is the game and also a band with this name.  It's not really proper to change the subject of an article just by editing, so I reverted back to the latest version I saw that was about the game.  If there is to be an article on the band, it should have a different name.  But, I've seen no indication that there should be an article on the band.  But, if anyone wants to make one, please call it Dividead (band) and do a disambiguation.  Friday (talk) 18:04, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
