Discussion of the involvement of the Bielski group with other partisan groups in reallife belong on the article with the group. Wikipedia has an obligation to document the controversy, including of course the statements of supporters of the group as prominently as critics of it. The question here is that it is usual to discuss in historical film the question of how true to history it is. Considering that the very involvement is uncertain, the wording here would have to be very tentative. Whatever is here or anywhere has to be in neutral non-loaded language, as elsewhere in Wikipedia. Anyone who actually doesn't know the reputation of the NKVD can find out from the article on them, we do not need to use the word ""feared"". The way to deal with topics as difficult as this is as soberly as possible. For one thing, it gives less of an impression of propaganda. In other words, Gwen is completely right in her sentence at the start of this section. '

"i would but i dont know how
Third Estate ? National Assembly ?
Re: ''The Tennis Court Oath (serment du jeu de paume) was a pledge signed by 577 members of France's Third Estate on June 20, 1789. ....
this was an important factor in the coming of the french revolution the members swore that they wouldn't disband until Louis XVI had granted a constitution for the people of france.
aaaaaaaaaah why are you changing it?!!!!
Im not sure but i think the oath was written by Abbe Sieyes?
Slight Change
Changed the wording from leave to disband
Saying that they would not leave until they had written a constitution gives the impression that it was written all in one night, This is not true to took along to write a constrictions for France
Also and interesting fact; the tennis court is speculated to having been in actuality a handball court

So far so Good but you have no dates and no sources. If there are no objections I will add dates using information from A history of western society sixth edition by Mckay, Hill and Buckler. If someone could please put that in bibliography format. Im missing the first hundred pages in my book.
Totally vandalized and requires a rewrite
Well obviously this article over the past few days has been totally vandalized and stripped of its information. Somebody tried to rewrite the entire, and what used to be complex and informative article quickly as nobody seems to have a saved copy of the article. In need of some Wiki admins.
Hello, Mehicdino! I'm not sure whether you're (talk • contribs), who edited the article to ""remove immature/incorrect text"". However, can either one of you be more specific with what is inaccurate? There was some vandalism in the previous weeks, which I had reverted already (all revisions of the page are stored automatically, and you can access them by clicking on the ""history"" tab above and clicking on the date and time of the revision). Most everything in the article looks correct. Granted, I'm not an expert on this subject, but given that the revision only removed minimal details, which seem correct, and also removed many of the wikilinks, I've gone ahead and reverted back to the previous version for now. Can you clarify on what is incorrect? Thanks! (A note?)
Vandalism should never require a rewrite, as it's very easy to revert to a previous version.
No, I am not the IP you state I could be because it does not match mine. I was just saying a few days ago somebody actually put much effort into vandalizing this article to a pile of rubbish.
Thanks for the reply. I'm just making sure that there is nothing that is obviously inaccurate presently; I hope I took care of all the vandalism with the revert. Thanks! (A note?)
This still needs rewriting; what is this?!:
""The Tennis Coart started in the late 1990's and ended in the early 1500's. It resulted in the parilization of the Queen of Scottland. It occured in Witchitah Maine.""
Please correct.
The vandalism has already been removed; thanks for letting us know. (A note?)

I found a better picture at this link:

"None of this ""evidence"" is convincing. There is a passage in one of Eleanor's letters to Hickok which I'll paraphrase, which seems to refute any claims that she was a lesbian. Eleanor told Hickok in the letter that she did believe and value the fact that Hickok loved her. However, Eleanor continued, she herself had no such feelings as between women. She respected these feelings as legitimate, but they were foreign to her. To me, this passage shows Eleanor's rare compassion and understanding of others, as well as her honesty.
As for the frequently quoted line, in another letter, in which Eleanor says she wants to kiss Hickokwell, in those days, female friends were more soppy in general. (I don't know how else to put it.) It was common for women friends of all types and ages in that era to walk around hand in hand, or arm in arm, and to kiss. And finally, Eleanor's long, close and affectionate relationship with her burly male bodyguard Miller, extending to enjoying sports and private times together, suggests to me a discreet, quietly happy romance.

eww....that vandalism thing was wrong. it was intended to be a roll back. mea culpa on that. however, with regard to the links, though the sources may indeed be valid, it was inline linking and weird formatting that were the target. i, and others, have had several sessions and conversations with milliot about how he tends to leave articles in shambles over and over. copyvios, link farming, random links, quote farming, edits with horribly batter english and grammar, inexpicable article name changes, etcc, etc. he's a nice guy, i'm sure, but it is very frustrating when he continues to cause the same problems because he either doesn't read or doesn't understand policy. that, and no one to tends wants to deal with him, just giving up trying to help in exasperation.

interesting choice of words Emerson7. I believe it was you who kept reverting back Nagyvary to a Stradivari article. Which really had no place of being there since it was about his experiments, which have been rebuked by experts in the field. And now you are waging war on relevant information which I have contributed to (in other articles), which you keep deleting. Shame on you. There is no reason for this, as most people here are really trying to make wiki a better source of information. Deleting valuable information, after it has been added is really not nice. | toxic | en |

? senate may seal socal ' s fate
? socal edison eyeing bankruptcy
california senate an additional two dissenting democrat votes would effectively block ab 67 xx . consumer advocates that adamantly oppose this bill ( because it lacks the state ' s ownership of hard transmission assets and burdens residential consumers with excessive rates ) are " optimistic " about the bill ' s defeat in the senate . despite these circumstances , it is highly conceivable that the senate could pass along a virtually ineffective & inadequate bailout package for the assembly ' s approval .
burton is reportedly avoiding discourse with davis over ab 67 xx and as the hours pass ever closer to the midnight deadline , burton will likely introduce the bill for floor vote and then hurriedly adjourn the senate . if the bill passes , the assembly will bare the difficult task of either accepting the bill as is , or reject the bill and risk socal ' s bankruptcy . we believe that if the bill makes it into the assembly , ab 67 xx will pass despite strong opposition from both the ctma and consumer advocates . there is no current vote count available in the assembly , but we expect the assembly to debate the bill into the early hours of saturday morning .
inside edison
there are still strong indications that even if a bailout plan is passed , socal will voluntarily file for bankruptcy or a creditor , most likely a generator , will take them into bankruptcy . socal remains concerned due to the number of contingent claims on their cash ( by the dwr , etc . ) and appear likely to try to protect these cash flows . from the generators ' perspective , if a plan is passed , the bank creditors will get paid but they will not . also , the dwr and iso have not resolved even what amount is owed to generators for power they have provided this year , let alone when they will be paid . the total amount owed through the iso is approximately $ 2 b . nonetheless , the generators remain under a federal order to provide power to the state . once a deal is passed leaving too little money for socal to pay the generators , this will leave them with little means of satisfaction other than filing against socal .
socal has privately indicated to senators that if the ab 67 xx fails to include any consumer using 100 kv or more as the base for the dedicated rate component , socal will be forced to file for bankruptcy because of their inability to effectively securitize the bailout bonds . socal feels that this rate base is too small and the risk of these businesses fleeing the state is too high . the ctma also has indicated that some of its members may leave the state to avoid having to pay the extra surcharge on power .
socal has not communicated a position on whether the $ 400 million trim ( from the original $ 2 . 9 b ) puts them into bankruptcy . we estimate that an additional $ 400 million hit is indeed too much to bear and would prompt a voluntary bankruptcy petition . | scam | en |

"With over 100,000 college students studying abroad every year, there's bound to be all kinds of tall tales, urban legends, and misinformation swirling around. While there may be grains of truth in some of these stories, below are some common misconceptions about study abroad.
Misconception #1: Studying abroad is very expensive.
Truth: In most cases, it is actually cheaper to study abroad. Let's say the tuition at your school is $5,000 per semester and room and board is another $4,000. Now add in the additional fees you have such as health insurance, books, and laundry. You are now well over $10,000 for the semester. Well, all but one of our programs in Spain is under $10,000 per semester and that includes everything except your airfare and spending money.
TAB
Misconception #2: I can't use my financial aid to study abroad.
Truth: In almost all cases, your federal aid (Stafford loans, Pell grants, etc.) can be used to study abroad and in some states, you can use your state aid as well. It is also not uncommon for your federal aid to increase when you study abroad since some of your school scholarships may not transfer.
Misconception #3: Host families are all poor and just do it for the money.
Truth: The last thing any study abroad company wants to do is have an unhappy student on their program. The goal is for the students to be happy so that they will tell their friends what a great time they had. If we were putting students in bad families, in dangerous neighborhoods, then no one would ever recommend us to their friends. Since the number of universities that endorse our program doubled over the last year, it's a pretty sure bet that students are happy with our choice of families.
Misconception #4: I'll be so busy with schoolwork that I won't get time to see the country I'm in.
Truth: This one is hysterically funny since your average study abroad student comes home with about 400+ photos from a long list of countries. Students have plenty of opportunities to travel and we even take our students on trips to give them a better feel for the country they are in.
Misconception #5: I might not graduate on time if I go abroad.
Truth: If you have already used up all of your elective or general education courses, then it's true that you might need to bulk up on courses before or after you go abroad. If you plan ahead, however, and leave some electives open to you, then you should be fine. The clear majority of students who study abroad still graduate in four years, despite being away from their home campus for a semester or two.
Misconception #6: Most of the world hates Americans, so I won't be safe.
Truth: There's no doubt that there are a lot of people who don't like the American government, but that has nothing to do with the American people. If you compare the violent crime rate in the United States to that of European, Australian, or Asian countries, you will see that the United States is actually far more dangerous. There are some areas of South America and Africa that are not especially safe, but there are also many countries on those continents that are incredibly safe. Go to the U.S. State Department website and check out the crime statistics on the country you are interested in to see how safe it is.
Studying abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that every college student should take advantage of. Before dismissing it due to the bad experience of one friend or rumors you have had heard, speak with your study abroad advisor and get the facts. I guarantee that once you look at all that studying abroad can offer you, you'll be hopping the first flight abroad.
One organization that help ensure that you have safest, unforgettable yet affordable study abroad experience is Academic Studies Abroad. Here are some of our very popular study abroad programsin the following countries:
-Study Abroad Spain- Academic Studies offers study abroad programs in Barcelona, Madrid, Salamanca and Sevilla.
-Study Abroad England- Academic Studies offers study abroad programs in London.
-Study Abroad Italy - Academic Studies offers study abroad programs in Florence.
-Study Abroad France- Academic Studies offer study abroad programs in Aix-en-Provence and Avignon.

Don't Remove I was the editor who brought in the article from The Hill, so hopefully I can partially address why it could be relevant. At the time, the subsection was massive, containing many paragraphs of outdated predictions on the fate of the bill. I added in the article hoping to bring the subsection up to date, and the rest of the subsection was later deleted (by another editor). That being said, I think the article is valuable in that (1) it shows how lower court rulings have brought about a change in expert forecasts on the law, which is relevant to the law's history, and (2), that a 5-4 decision is likely, indicating the extent of the debate regarding the law's constitutionality. For instance, if experts predicted that a decision by the supreme court on a given law would be unanimous, the constitutionality of the law is rather clear, and demonstrating a relative lack of debate. However, the predicted 5-4 ruling shows that to many, whether or not PPACA is constitutional is rather nebulous.
As far as to what article this subsection belongs in, I agree that it could be useful in Florida v. United States Department of Health and Human Services, however, it should also remain in this article in some form or fashion as it is relevant to A) the debate regarding the subject's constitutionality and B) the possible fate of the subject.
As mentioned above, I feel the subsection serves a purpose, and would be happy to see it discuss multiple perspectives on the subject, using multiple sources, so as to address any NPOV concerns. | toxic | en |

::I agree; generally there should be consensus among high quality sources that ""X is an Italian invention"", and the source should actually say words to that effect. I don't oppose an article that takes a broad view and includes all sorts of technology developments related to Italy, but the article should be moved to ""Timeline of Italian invention"" and redefined appropriately. Many editors treat these List of inventions articles like that anyway, including all sorts of things that aren't strictly inventions or strictly Italian. The solution there is to make sure the reader understands that's what the list is, not purport to be something else. " | toxic | en |

Weasel wording
I continue to have concerns about this article in that it attributes opinions to some unspecified ""French monarchists"" without saying who, exactly, they are. The position attributed to them is quite preposterous and so really requires some serious sourcing. Who, exactly, are these ""Legitimists"" and if they are a very fringe group, perhaps merely of hobbyists or enthusiasts of some kind, we should say so clearly. As written, the article might lead a naive reader to think that there is some actual controversy or issue ""in play"" when of course there is not. Louise Alphonse is not the King of France.

* Yes, it's exactly as stupid as it sounds: a mecha shaped like a woman, complete with breast projectiles (ugh...). True, Double Dragon and Golden Axe are beat'em-ups, but I was talking about two specific modes in each of them where you face the second player in one-on-one combat in a way that is extremely similar to fighting games. Borderline cases, sure. I mostly brought them up for completeness' sake. Onna Sansirou and Yie Ar Kung-Fu II does have elements of what is now considered beat'em-up, but I would say that's more because the genre convetions were not as clearly defined back then. The ""beat'em-up"" sections of Yie Ar Kung-Fu II are extremely short, more like intermissions if anything. The meat of the game is still the one-on-one fighting, and the two-player mode is strictly traditional one-on-one fighting. In Onna Sansirou, while you face multiple lesser opponents before fighting the ""real"" opponent, you only fight them one at a time and you stay in the same arena.

":Everyone here should be careful in how they describe other editors — all the more so if some participants might not be as fluent in English as others. Without seeking to excuse Shii's ""no common sense"" or ""entertaining history"" comments, I would still say there is a difference of degree between those comments and repeated accusations / insinuations of lying and slander. Even so, the fact that others may also be misbehaving does not justify you in doing the same (see WP:NOTTHEM).
:If you believe the article in question (found on Highbeam, apparently from AP) is ""written at a very poor quality level"", I think you should elaborate on just what you mean. The article (or at least the first part of it, available without a Highbeam subscription) did not appear to me to be of suspiciously poor quality, but if you see something here that I missed, by all means help me and others to understand. As for the general question of comparing the reliability of Highbeam vs. AP's archives — as I said, Highbeam is generally considered to be a reliable source, so if you believe something on Highbeam was fabricated, planted, or otherwise not what it seems to be, the burden is on you to establish this. If someone says they were unable to find a Highbeam article in its alleged original source, they need to provide convincing evidence that the article really didn't come from where it seems to have come (as opposed to the possibility that they did their search wrong, or the piece was removed from the original source's archives for some reason, or some other non-sinister explanation). As I said, if you really believe something is broken here, you should bring it up at WP:RSN, and please do so in as calm and non-alarmist a fashion as possible. But unless a consensus of editors at WP:RSN or another suitable forum concludes that the article reported by Highbeam is in fact bogus, the article is entitled to a reasonable presumption of accuracy. — (no relation to Jimbo)

Those cites DO NOT talk about him being a businessman.

Hi sorry if the removal was a problem it's that this is a childs programme which offered no gay suggestion and was sexless in so far as apart from friendships between the characters there was no hint as to sexuality. indeed they are supposed to be children themselves and to suggest sexuality is treading on thin ice.
1/ To quote a letter as a source is poor at best, i could write an outrageous letter myself and quote it here but it wouldn't make it right.
2/ This has been denied and moreover was a misunderstanding by the press who blew 'what if' questions out of all proportion. see link please
2 and a half... I find the notion that a mention of a tea cup storm made by small minded individuals should be included in a pen picture of a childrens TV show ludicrous at best but this comment is the only just comment with real founding.
3/ The outcome should be entered as i find it hard to believe it ever got to a courtroom.
1/ [edit] Tinky-Winky controversy
One of the Teletubbies, Tinky Winky, was the focus of a still hinted-at controversy in 1999 due to his carrying a bag that looks much like a woman's purse (although he was first ""outed"" by the academic and cultural critic Andy Medhurst in a letter of July 1997 to The Face).
2/ A February, 1999 article in the National Liberty Journal, published by Jerry Falwell, warned parents that Tinky could be a hidden homosexual symbol, saying ""he is purple—the gay pride color, and his antenna is shaped like a triangle—the gay pride symbol.""
2(and a half!) A spokesman for Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Co., who licenses the characters in the United States, said it was just a magic bag. ""The fact that he carries a magic bag doesn't make him gay. It's a children's show, folks. To think we would be putting sexual innuendo in a children's show is kind of outlandish.""
3/ In an incident reported in 2000, a girl's Tinky Winky toy reportedly said ""I got a gun"". Kenn Viselman, then chairman of the Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Co., claimed the toy acutally said ""Again, Again"". [3]
Can this section be removed on the grounds that it really has no worth and is trying to portray child characters as gay. Especially while using hinted and possibly.

This is a question best raised on the NoScript support forums. However, I can comment on a few of the differences:
CSP is server-side (has to be configured at each server, sends reports to the server), while ABE is client-side (configured in browser, logs results in error console).
CSP just allows or blocks content, whereas ABE can take other actions like stripping authentication.
CSP was primarily designed to stop cross-site scripting and other injections, while ABE was primarily designed to stop cross-site request forgery (but can defeat XSS/injections too).
CSP allows wildcards, ABE allows either wildcards or regular expressions.
CSP specifies only hostnames, ABE can specify full addresses including protocol and path.
ABE knows about intranet vs internet addresses and can control traffic between them (in fact, it does this by default).
CSP doesn't try to control requests originating from privileged code eg browser extensions. ABE can, although it is always possible for privileged code to defeat this, so it cannot be relied on to protect against malicious addons.
ABE can distinguish between different types of object inclusions and different HTTP methods.
They can work independently; if either blocks something, it will be blocked.
I don't know of any metrics on how widely CSP is deployed, nor do I have any idea how many NoScript users take the time to configure ABE (which doesn't do very much out-of-the-box). | toxic | en |

texas market analysis
team :
i have asked troy denetsosie to be responsible for compiling and updating a detailed supply , market and infrastructure analysis of texas . this information will support both our origination and trading activities and we will use a lot of the format ( website and other ) developed by the other regions . spcifically , troy will offload a lot the analysis work that jd is currently doing on the market side and he will work closely with bryan hull to support the more immediate needs of the traders .
the deliverables from troy will be : ( 1 ) a texas section on the gas fundamentals webpage modeled after the central region , ( 2 ) a daily report on gas flows , deals , basis positons , etc . , ( 3 ) a detailed infrastructure analysis ( maps , flows , etc ) that will support the development of our supply / market hub positions . please give him your support .

subject : fw : crm database
as you know , much of jd , mark and my time to date has been geared around finding what companies , customers , phone numbers and past business that we may have done with the customers we started with and move forward from that starting point . in the few short weeks we have addressed , uncovered and started down the road to what i hope to be a very profitable 2001 - 2002 .
the crm database should be a great tool for those that follow . it appears that the originators would log in calls , meetings and any other business that gets discussed with the customer . this would have been a great tool for our group to have had in starting from ground zero .
there still appears to be some developmental issues around this program . in the meantime , we are using a number of spreadsheets to keep up with our business . should the crm database not be approved or delayed , we have decided to populate the act 2000 ! database . this is currently supported by enron but is not as user friendly as the crm would be . the cost for act 2000 ! is relatively free !
if you have any questions , please let me know .

subject : crm database
on thursday of this past week i went to a meeting regarding the crm database which is designed by siebel for the purpose of handling customer information .
the crm database has only been implemented with trading / origination groups within enron and provides the following capabilities :
1 . account & contact management
2 . activity tracking & planning
3 . potential deal management
4 . outlook synchronization
5 . remote connectivity / synchronization
6 . e - mail from siebel and records activity
the current enron groups that use this system are the enron industrial markets that was implemented in may 2001 and the freight markets that was implemented in august 2001 . the following is a list of how these groups have been utilizing the system :
industrial mkts freight mkts
users 175 45
counterparties 8 , 200 20 , 000
contacts 14 , 000 20 , 000
activities 1 , 200 900
quotes 150
opportunities 361 11
the following groups have also inquired about this system and having it implemented :
eol
global mkts
ees
transportation
east power orig
insolvent debt
some of the basic costs and timeline for this system are $ 120 - $ 150 , 000 for 20 - 30 users with a 5 week timeline for implementation . this is a basic implementation that may not include all of the functionality shown above ( i . e . , no remote connectivity ) .
the reason that i have written this is to show a possible system that could be used by the gas floor origination and trading groups to manage contact information and share data among groups . the cost to implement this for all of the origination groups does not appear to be prohibitive and it could be implemented in a good time frame . some of the issues are coordination among the groups and the desire to share information . let me know if you think this is a viable possibility and what would be the best way to approach the other origination groups .
colin tonks , database / system guy , within the fundamentals group was also at the meeting and thinks this would work great . he would be the individual coordinating efforts from the natural gas system side .
thanks ,

Problematic new entries
A number of older cannon has been added over the years in the categories stone balls and iron balls and shot whose caliber has not been sourced, namely Malik-i-Maidan, Jaivana, Dalmadal/Dala Mardana and Zamzama. Another entry, the Basilic (cannon), is sourced, but the value seems more of a modern guesstimate, less the result of reliable historical documentation or modern measurements. I am of the view that the former pieces should be removed from the list until reliable, scholarly sources can be put forward, while the latter is debatable for its inevitable vagueness. | toxic | en |

M, This colon convention gets out of hand after maybe two.
I've just looked over the articles you suggested I might take an eye to. We will have something to discuss, I see. You don't take on small issues! Much more daring than I am.
I can have more to say later, of course, but first impression sis that there may very well be POV objections to most of these on grounds of opinion. Now that's inevitable in any sort of political or historical analysis and the best anyone can probably do is scratch a little rhetorical dirt over the most blatant. It's the basis for academic debate in these disciplines. Politics, though, is important, not just scholasticim redux and so it's worth doing. Enough blather.
I see a major problem in that your perspective is too temporally narrow, POV allegations aside. I trace the Big Break (realignment or whatever) in American politics to the Bull Moose. Until then, both the Republicans and Democrats were broad parties with support from all classes, regions, etc (well, the Solid South was an exception for the obvious racist reasons, but...). When Teddy took the Progressives out in 1912, he made Wilson's election nearly certain and more importantly in the longer run, many (most) of those folks never went back. Think of La Follette or George Norris or Hiram Johnson, progressives (small p) all, and all (I think) Republicans. They wouldn't have been important or comfortable in the GOP of Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Taft (pere ou fils) and their intellectual descendents weren't. It was the Repuplicans who staged a generations long witch hunt for Commies and unAmericanism. Even thouhg it was an idiot Democrat who started HUAC (Martin Dies and he had a Soviet spy (!) as a fellow member Dickstein I think it was). but the GOP found the structure conveninet to use.
Think Nixon from his first election, or the GOP tolerance for McCarthy, Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich, Bomber Bob Dornan from California, etc. The 'Rockefeller wing' (misnamed) of the GOP was the last remnant of the people Teddy had taken out. Goldwater just made the ideological contraction more evident/blatant/inescapable. he wasn't actually very much in tune with the modern conservatives now dominating the GOP. Too independent of a specific agenda.
This leaves the Dems as the only broadly based party, but remember that old saw about belonging to no organized party, I'm a Democrat. That's a distortion of the historic American pattern of two substandtial widely based parties, plus some minors. Maybe that pattern is changing, or not, but it's abberrant.
Enough. Have to go anyway. Tell me whether anything I've said is of any use. 23:41 | toxic | en |
