replies: text: If I didn't misunderstand your statement here above (and yes, I know it's like 5 years since you posted this comment) but no, it does not need to be renamed, because "Iceland Defence Force" is it's correct name, especially since it was manned by the United States armed forces.. And that sort of explains why it isn't called Icelandic defence force.. Because it's American. The "Iceland Defence Force" phrase is also featured on the emblem of the "Iceland Defence Force" currently on this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Iceland-Def-Force-logo.jpg  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrGulli (talk • contribs) 00:55, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

message: There are quite a few unsourced or unnetural statements in this article – for instance, the sentence saying that her campaign for European Parliament emulated the 'Christian right', which is a pejorative statement (in Ireland at least!).

thread_title:  Occupation infobox 

message: Education and training
In the United States and Canada, full membership in the American Psychological Association requires doctoral training (except in some Canadian provinces, such as Alberta, where a master's degree is sufficient).[a] The minimal requirement for full membership can be waived in circumstances where there is evidence that significant contribution or performance in the field of psychology has been made. Associate membership requires at least two years of postgraduate studies in psychology or an approved related discipline.[4]
 
This is wrong. Canadians do not become members of the APA. That qualification is restricted to inhabitants of the United States. However, they can or should be members of the CPA or Canadian Psychological Association. This section needs to be rewritten by someone to reflect that reality. Right now, the paragraph merges the 2 organizations and nations, along with their requirements, as if they are one - which they are not. Stevenmitchell (talk) 02:32, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

message: This article is in major need of a revamp.  For starters, the quote from the Toorak Village website is a joke - it is little more than an advertisement, and an extremely outdated one at that (the Trak Cinema closed 6 years ago)!  Not only that, but the Toorak Village Milk Bar is gone as well.  The Village is not what it once was.  I get my haircut at the barber shop there and they tell me they're cutting back their hours due to decreased business as well.  Safeway supermarket is usually so empty there are often 2 or 3 checkout people in the express lanes, but nobody on queue.
 
Furthermore, Toorak Road is a far cry from the "Rodeo Drive" of Melbourne - it is basically little more than a through-fare for city bound traffic these days.  
As for the train stations, Toorak actually doesn't have one.  Toorak station is located in Armadale.Davez621 15:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the following: "Although the term [Toorak Tractor] generally refers to any 4WD or SUV vehicle that is not used for the manufacturers original purpose, they are usually a more upmarket make of car such as the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes ML and notably the Range Rover."
There is no evidence that these cars are upmarket. E.g. I consider the BMW X5 to be downmarket and the Merc ML is especially inferior compared to the Merc GL. Plus I drive around Toorak all the time and most of the few 4WDs I see there are Land Rovers (not Range Rovers) and Landcruisers.

Talk:Jennings Lodge, Oregon

message: Jennings Lodge is not a Census Designated Place, although there are a fair number of them in Wikipedia. The following facts show it has an existence outside of the census rolls:
*It has appeared on a number of maps, as long as I can remember (i.e., at least 40 years).
*I can recall seeing a sign alongside Highway 99E alerting motorists that they are entering "Jennings Lodge" many times.
*There is a post office, complete with zip code, called "Jennings Lodge"
*As the article indicates, there is a grade school called "Jennings Lodge"
A CDP is a locale that bears a name that causes the locals to scratch their heads & wonder where that name came from. Examples from Oregon would be Garden Home-Whitford and West Haven-Sylvan; there are unincorporated communities called "Garden Home" & "Sylvan", & there is a neighborhood called "Whitford". I've lived in Portland for most of my life, & "West Haven" does not signify anywhere near this city; maybe it's the name of a subdivision in the West Hills, maybe it's the invention of a bored census worker. -- llywrch 02:37, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: A CDP is generally based on local usage. The name is sometimes a compound of several local names, which by itself is unrecognizable. It is not at all surprising that Jennings Lodge has some existence beyond being a CDP. However, in terms of the U.S. Census, there is a CDP named Jennings Lodge which probably corresponds fairly closely to the local usage. older≠wiser 13:37, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
