== Meaning of North America, sources, questions ==
I changed the claim of Cabot being ""commonly credited as the first European to discover North America"" to ""commonly credited as the first European to discover the mainland of North America"", as that is how the Catholic Encyclopedia puts it. Note the (fairly) common meaning of North America includes Central America and the Caribbean where Columbus made his discoveries in 1492. The North America pages makes this clear, while noting alternate meanings. Of course even this claim is troublesome if Cabot landed on Newfoundland, since that it not the mainland. Still, the mainland statement is sourced, so. Actually the Catholic Encyclopedia takes it further, saying Cabot was ""discoverer of the American mainland""not just North America. But as the page Americas (terminology) points out, the term ""American"" is rather vague and problematic. So I left it as North America. Also, there is a paragraph, entirely within parentheses, which I added a ""citation needed"" tag too:
*(Like his contemporary, King Francis I of France, who would send Giovanni da Verrazzano to reconnoiter even more of the Atlantic coastline, Henry VIII was in part motivated by the perceived insolence of the division of the world into two halves by Pope Alexander VI in the Bull Inter Caetera following the success of Columbus's first voyage. One half of the globe was for Portugal and the other half for Spain.)
I don't doubt the Inter Caetera, but am skeptical that King Francis I of France and King Henry VIII of England were ""in part motivated by the perceived insolence"" of this papal bull. My understanding is that the Inter Caetera was never intended to be anything other than an arrangement between Spain and Portugal ""brokered"" by the Papacy. It applied only to Spain and Portugal. France, England, and all other nations were not bound by italthough Spain tried (and rapidly failed) to persuade other nations to recognize Spanish rights to the New World based on the Inter Caetera. I am skeptical that Francis I or Henry VIII found the papal bull insolent. They might have, and if so it might have played a part in Henry's support of Cabot. But, well, I checked the references listed here and found no such information. Thus ""citation needed"". " | toxic | en |

Wikipedia has a high standard. If you want to add info to existing articles here you should match that standard. If not, your contributions are actually damaging, and not respecting the edits of the people through whose efforts the existing text was written. That's why some people have to undo bad edits, which takes a lot of time. So: many thanks to Mitsube! Greetings, Sacca | toxic | en |
re : ewrm outline

thanks - based on a " speed read " it would appear that srm sits neatly in the
volumetric part of your framework . regarding systems i am keen to preserve
the work kevin has already done and i suspect we can eventually use the
visualization tools in the risktrac front end to display the results should
we require .
to be honest , i feel a good deal more comfortable that there is already a
framework and initiative in place - its very easy to feel like the " angry
lone voice " in an effort like this - fortunately the practitioners of the art
of risk management generally travel in a similar direction !

::::Broadly speaking (and I don't speak for Andy or anyone else, necessarily), I'd rather not encourage a situation where we get into ""duelling allegations"" from low-impact, dubiously-reliable blog sources—or even suspiciously one-off, never-followed-up-on stories from slightly-more-reliable outlets. If we start adding more negative material from skeptical blogs, then we start getting demands for WP:PARITY and effusively-positive material from gullible blogs. We drag the article towards more he-said she-said back-and-forth wittering, instead of recognizing – as editors – that there just isn't any meaningful news to report.
::::Incidentally, that's the public-relations 'win' condition for proponents of any fringe theory. There isn't any ground to stand on to support conclusive positive statements, so the best they can go after is to give the (completely misleading) impression that the ""science isn't settled"", ""there is ongoing debate"", ""more research is needed"", and that we have a responsibility to ""teach the controversy"". As usual, the best examples of this sort of duplicity are readily drawn from the annals of U.S. public policy discussion: the link between cigarette smoking and cancer, the teaching of Darwinian evolution in schools, the existence of anthropogenic climate change.

the california puc
loretta lynch held a press conference in sacramento today to discuss changes to the commission ' s previously released proposal regarding direct access and the rate agreement between the puc and dwr .
in the amended proposal discussed and distributed today , direct access would end retroactive to july 1 . customers with contracts executed as of july 1 would would remain direct access customers .
the legislature
the assembly version of the senate mou ( sb 78 ) has not yet been reviewed and voted on in the committee .
it is scheduled to be reviewed and voted on at 6 : 30 pm pdt today .
amendments on direct access were released this afternoon ( based on negotiations between davis ' office and business customers ) :
customers who have consistently been da since may 2000 , including those " involuntarily " returned to bundled service , would be exempt from charges for edison ' s undercollection , dwr ' s forward contracts , and dwr - related exit fees , provided that the puc finds that no additional stranded costs are created for edison ' s remaining customers .
customers who have consistently been on da between may 2000 and jan 17 , 2001 would be exempt from charges for edison ' s undercollection , dwr ' s forward contracts and dwr - realted exit fees , provided that the puc finds that no additional stranded costs are created for edison ' s remaining customers .
customers who have been on da between jan 17 , 2001 and august 24 , 2001 would be exempt from exit fees related to dwr forward contracts , provided that the puc finds that no additional stranded costs are created for edison ' s remaining customers .
customer ' s leaving after august 24 th would not qualify for exemptions .
there is considerable work underway to make the august 24 th date the deadline for contract execution , rather than the date by which the customer must be dasr ' d , in order to qualify for the exemptions .
direct access would not be suspended , however , until 90 days after the bill is signed by davis ( if he signs it ) , i . e . , the " effective date " of the bill .
so anyone going to direct access between aug 24 and the effective date would not qualify for any exemptions .
after the 90 - day period , da would be suspended until 1 . 1 . 03 .
self - gen in service consistently from may 200 to august 24 would be exempt from edison ' s undercollection and dwr charges .
self - gen that submitted an application to the energy commission by august 24 would be exempt from dwr charges beginning the date that the self - gen comes on line .
self - gen that comes on line after august 24 would be exempt from dwr charges beginning the date that the self - gen comes on line , but the total number of exempt mws in this category would be limited to 250 mws per year , on a first - come - first - serve basis .
at least 30 % of any increases in net short due to increases in demand would be reserved for self gen . | scam | en |

What astounds me is that conservative readers feel they have to defend apostolic authorship. What do you really loose if the author is not the apostle John but another person? The book nowhere states that it is written by the apostle so all you are defending is a tradition that grew up long after the book was authored. And this is not a modern theory. A number of early church fathers doubted that the book was written by John the brother of James. So why is it suddently a ""little dumb liberal idea""?

Not a member of World Without Nazism (RfC)
Dovid Katz spoke at a conference of World Without Nazism, and he was subsequently wrongly reported by Russia Today as being a member of World Without Nazism. He has never been a member of World Without Nazism, opposed their stance on Soviet crimes when speaking at the conference, and Russia Today is the only source of his ""membership"". This citation is now being used as an attempt to defame him on his Wikipedia page. An edit war is starting and I would appreciate comment. As far as I can see, one source is not sufficient for adding a controversial and potentially defaming ""fact"" to a biography of a living person. " | toxic | en |

==Arab World Change==
Hi, your assertion that ""Palestine"" is a country in your Arab World post is entirely false. Perhaps you should read the posting titled by that name. The land formerly known as Palestine is now known as Israel, the West Bank, The Gaza Strip, and Jordan. The West Bank and the Gaza strip are lands owned by Israel, having been captured legitately in a war. Furthermore, this was a war of aggression by Israel's neighbors whose sole purpose was to kill every non-Arab person in the land of Israel and claim the land for themselves. If you read Dershowitz's ""The Case for Israel,"" much of the history of the area will become apparent. In the future, there may be a place called ""Palestine."" However, now, there is no such country. To include it in a list of Arab countries is simply a falsehood and is offensive. Furthermore, the land the land that is the West Bank was historically settled and owned by Jews." | toxic | en |

:I suspect that the preference for filioque over et filio and ac filio has more to do with maintaining the creed's singability rather than introducing any fine distinctions in meaning. None of the distinctions I'm aware of (which are small indeed) alter the meaning in this context at all. Et filio, depending on context, could be construed to mean ""thus from the son"", or ""from the son too"", or ""even from the son"", none of which really apply here. Ac filio in a different context could be construed to mean ""since from the son"" as well as ""and from the son"". Filioque can pretty much just mean ""and from the son"" in any context; it cannot ever imply any ""thus"" or ""since"". When que, et, and ac are mixed together, generally et has higher precedence than ac, which has higher precedence than que, but in the creed issues of precedence don't come up since these are not mixed together into one phrase. So far as I can see, the only distinction between one choice of conjunction or another in this context would be entirely aesthetic.

subject : re : possible meeting ?
steve :
i ' ll see if i can get in on the 25 th . . . will let you know , but i think
it ' ll work .
just to give you a very brief overview so you can think about who might be
interested , abacus has the largest transactional database of consumer buying
behavior in the world ( 89 million us households , 3 billion + purchases ) ,
along with sophisticated modeling capabilities to help predict customer
response to various offers at the household level . given the critical need
to reduce customer acquisition costs in retail energy markets , we believe
that our data and modeling can help energy retailers target their direct
marketing efforts toward the residential customers most likely to respond to
whatever the offer is - - improving the efficiency of mailings and other
promotional campaigns ( so there is an efficiency angle , see ! )
because our data allow the modeling of future buying behavior based on
actual purchases , our results tend to be significantly more predictive than
demographic - based models . so far , the the response from utilities and " new
entrants " i ' ve been talking to so far has been quite positive , and we have
some tests of our data underway , but we ' re interested in talking to as many
players in the market as possible as we develop specific products to meet
utility needs .
i can provide more background if desired to whoever might be interested , but
i guess the key immediate question is whether it might be worthwhile to
arrange a short meeting sometime on the 25 th of april with whoever at enron
might have interest in hearing what we ' re up to , and ( most importantly )
listening to what your data needs might be as you enter new markets .
thanks very much for any help . . . i look forward to catching up and
hearing how things are going for you .
regards ,
brad davids

;moved to correct choronological order
Without question the article is biased!
But which is to be expected after all, inasmuch as it was obviously written by a British person, as betrayed by the spelling, grammar and sentence formation. In my view, his comparison to Wellington and Marlboro must surely have those military giants revolving in their graves at lightspeed.
The only question I have is why ""the neutrality of this article is disputed"" disclaimer has not been thus far appended?
In contrast, Omar Bradley's unbiased assessment of Montgomery in ""A Soldier's Story,"" written by a humble, self-effacing man with no axe to grind is quite enlightening, and gives the numerical specifics of the supply situation at that time. But even before his vanity, arrogance and personality quirks had alienated not only the American generals, but also the majority of the British ones as well, Monty was regarded by his peers as slightly above mediocre, a commander who took shrewd advantage of the overwhelming amount of American weaponry and supplies afforded him courtesy of Mr. Roosevelt.
And not just Bradley. For when such a vast array of Generals contemporary to Montgomery again, even the various British Generals and Marshals who knew and fought alongside him at that time, in consensus say the salient features about him were that, 1) he was overly cautious to a fault, 2) he was more afraid of losing a battle than winning one, and that, 3) he would never engage the enemy without at least a 2-1 advantage in manpower, 4) with an even greater ratio in weapons and materiel, well, 5) that speaks volumes, doesn't it?
But, the British at that time were in desperate need of a battlefield hero to lift their spirits, and so you have ""The Hero of El Alamein"" myth. A close look at the specifics of the Nort African campaign bear out the fact that this victory was won more due to the Allies overabundance of resources in direct proportion to Rommel's lack thereof. jfblodi, 12:12, 2009 Jan 7.
:The ""spelling, grammar and sentence formation"" should not be the subject of criticism, because that is governed by policy on style. As for the rest, if there are valid criticisms, they will have been written about by reliable third party sources and shouldn't be too difficult to find. " | toxic | en |

Ok. I don't see the current size as that critical - its also due to markup and reference, the Tea culture has obvious geographical-specifics-list structure, so a tired reader can skip it. And Tea is a huge topic.
IMO starting discussion on discussion page would have been enough (the coloured boxes linking to almost-nonexistant articles are a bit distracting for the reader), but that doesn't matter. I think we generaly agree on the move/summarization of tea culture, now what remains to be the done is the real work - writing the summary -) | toxic | en |

plagiarism
well, i thought nothing could induce me to log in once again as SaltyPig. two facts are amusing and ultimately pathetic about User:Oldwindybear's claims above regarding my (63.28.75.180, et al) writing, ""...frankly, your moronic language lends no credance to anything you say regarding this or any other historical subject.""
relevant facts
one
he writes on his user talk page, ""OKAY <, I now have a written source for my citations on the on the lack of legal authority to murder bonnie parker. I was printed, an article i wrote after extensive research, on a reputatble history site NOW, WILLYOU RECONSIDER, AND LET ME SAY THERE WERE NO LEGAL GROUNDS TO KILL BONNIE PARKER? IT IS A WRITTEN, VERIFIABLE SOURCE, ON A REPUTABLE SITE.""
two
significant portions of ""his"" article were lifted directly from a version of wikipedia's Bonnie and Clyde article, of which i wrote ~90%.
comparison
it starts off with minor lifting, then gets much worse. stay with it:
wikipedia: Bonnie Elizabeth Parker was born October 1, 1910, in Rowena, Texas, the second of three children.
oldwindybear: Bonnie Elizabeth Parker was born October 1, 1910, in Rowena, Texas, the second of three children.
wikipedia: She married Roy Thornton on September 25, 1926, but the pairing was short-lived.
oldwindybear: She married Roy Thornton on September 25, 1926, but that lasted less than a year.
wikipedia: Noted for homesickness throughout her short adult life, she longed to be near her mother, Emma Parker.'
oldwindybear: 'Bonnie was homesick her short adult life, and yearned to be close to her mother, to whom she was devoted.
wikipedia: Although he was sentenced to 5 years in prison shortly thereafter, they never divorced, and Bonnie was wearing Thornton's wedding ring when she died.
oldwindybear: In 1929, her husband was arrested, and he was sentenced to five years in prison shortly thereafter. But they never divorced, and Bonnie was wearing Thornton's wedding ring when she died.
wikipedia: Clyde ""Champion"" Chestnut Barrow was born on March 24, 1909 (perhaps 1910, according to some reputable sources^ ), in Ellis County, Texas, near Telico (just south of Dallas). He was the fifth of seven children in a poor farming family. Clyde was first arrested in late 1926, after running when police confronted him over a rental car he'd failed to return on time. His second arrest, with brother Buck Barrow, came soon after — this time for possession of stolen goods (turkeys). In both of these instances there is the remote possibility that Clyde acted without criminal intent. However, despite holding down ""square"" jobs during the period 1927 through 1929, he also cracked safes, burgled stores, and stole cars. Known primarily for robbing banks, he preferred smaller jobs, robbing grocery stores and filling stations at a rate far outpacing the ten to fifteen bank robberies attributed to him and the Barrow gang.

Meditteraneanism?
Does Mediterraneanism merit its own article? It seems to be a reactionary counter-Nordicist movement. One of the earliest examples I can find is in an issue of The Fascist by the Imperial Fascist League (a British-Nordicist Fascist group). In issue #65, October 1934, it quotes Mussolini as saying: ""We can afford to look with disdain upon these doctrines which are coming from the North. In the South we had Virgil, Cicero, and Augustus before the Germanic Race could either read or write."" This seems to be a promoting a sort of Mediterraneanism the superiority of Mediterranean culture and civilization (though not necessarily race, although it might be implied) over the Nordic one. Mediterraneanism is also discussed by Aaron Gillette in his book Racial Theories in Fascist Italy. " | toxic | en |

Unfortunately, I think it is not going to be so easy to source the ""three functions"" part. I do think it's a pretty good description of actual practice (with a reservation that case (i) is clearer for natural-number exponents, counting 0 as a natural number, than it is for integer exponents). But there is hardly ever any reason to codify this practice, so finding it in a reliable secondary source may be a challenge.

That looks like it's beginning to stray from neutrality, although I expect the edging to be from the sources rather than you. Do you feel that strongly about this paragraph?

Comment Shabak is certainly the more prominent term in Israel (ie: in Hebrew). I can confidently say that most people today don't know what you mean if you say Shin Bet. However, in English it is true that the prominent name has remained Shin Bet, for who knows what reason. It is still a Hebrew name, and for all intents and purposes, the wrong one. Until that term is phased out and Western media begins using the correct name, Shabak, I guess Wikipedia policy calls for us to continue using the current (wrong) term. | toxic | en |
No attack. A question about the preceding polarized pattern of voting and appended comments, using metaphor, and a suggestion to consider policy and practice. Your notion of what constitutes attack is interesting. Asking is not accusing-it is a way of more politely requesting consideration of a new perception than a statement. Original research within our debate pages is healthy. Humour can help move a frozen debate toward consensus.
Have you considered that your deletion of comments from other editors that you dislike on a page where you have previously expressed a vehement opinion on one side of a polarized debate may constitute a conflict of interest?
Are you Sheriff John Brown? Am I Bob Marley?.(another metaphor) I am glad that debate brings you merriment and keeps Qwyrxian involved. Also, why are you going around describing me as an inactive editor as you did here? []?— Talk/Stalk | toxic | en |

:::::Hey everyone, I just read all of these comments and it sounds like you have some really great ideas so far! I love the idea about adding the three ways of communicating with people that have hearing loss, and I think that this would be an excellent addition to the article. I could do the section on schools and education if no one has chosen to do that already. My main goal would be to include research on schooling from a more international perspective. I would include in this section how government policies affect the accessibility of schooling for people who are deaf, as well as teaching and learning methods used at the elementary, high school, and even college/ university level. I could even do some research on how being hearing impaired could affect someones learning in different subjects, such as math, languages, and sciences if you think that is relevant to our article content. For example, it may be more difficult for a teacher to teach someone who is hearing impaired a new language such as French than it would be to teach math, because French would require a lot more verbal communication. Let me know what you guys think of this idea! | toxic | en |

There's no need to compromise an article to placate cranks on the Talk page; respond to them on the Talk page.
There are separate questions:
Why is it called the ""World Series""?
Is it justifiable to call it ""World Series""?
Is ""World Series"" meant literally or just a label preserved for historic/traditional reasons?
Regarding the answers:
The answer would appear to be: 1880s hype + 120 years of tradition/inertia.
The first bit should be in the history section. The reference says In 1884, the Providence Grays of the National League outplayed the New York Metropolitan Club of the American Association in a three game series for what was originally called ""The Championship of the United States."" Several newspapers penned the Grays as ""World Champions"" and the new title stuck.
It would be nice to cite an 1884 newspaper saying something like ""The Grays are now the Champions of the United States; indeed one might well call them the Champions of the World.""
""the new title stuck"" is rather vague: did it stick instantly and unanimously? Looking at the contemporary match programs on baseball alamanac, 1911 is World's Championship Games, 1912 is World's Series, 1930 is for the Championship of the World, 1940 is World's Series, 1941 is World Series. It's worth distinguishing ""World Series"" the series of matches from ""World Championship"" the title at stake in the series.
The ""New York World"" urban myth is widespread enough to be mentioned and debunked.
""The title of this championship may seem odd to some readers"" is not a justification for answering this question, since it relates to the previous question. The justification would be something like ""Some people have (jocularly or otherwise) questioned the appropriateness or accuracy of the name World Series""
I speculate that there should be some juicy examples of such questioning from U.S. journalists in the 1880s, or Latin Americans in the 1960s. There is the quote attributed to John Cleese: ""When we [the UK] hold a World Championship for a particular sport, we invite teams from other countries to play, as well.""
There are various arguments pro and contra that might be made. But only those that have actually been made by noteworthy sources should be given.
The relevant information seems to be present in the article.
