Hafez al-Assad

This PDF file you added as a source talks about Syria during the Bashar al-Assad's rule. It's impossible to find out anything about his father's rule except that state of emergency. The article is about Hafez al-Assad so we should use the sources which refer to the Syrian history between 1960s - 2000, everything beyond that can't be connected to Hafez. This PDF file, however, could be used in the Syria article. --Wüstenfuchs 17:47, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Could you please cite the pages for the "Syria country profile" (the PDF file)...? --Wüstenfuchs 22:04, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
What are the pages of the NYT article? I included part of your text to the proper subsection... --Wüstenfuchs 22:31, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Good work on the article. Thanks for effort. --Wüstenfuchs 14:38, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

WVIR

You may need to update this post to the WVIR-TV page. WVIR acts as the default NBC affiliate for the southern Shenandoah Valley (including Harrisonburg and Staunton), WHAG-TV acts as the default NBC station for the northern Shenandoah Valley (including Winchester and Front Royal). WRC-TV is considered a "secondary" NBC affiliate for the entire Valley. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:38, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I checked the Comcast listings for Harrisonburg and they receive WSLS-TV on digital cable. Also, customers of Lumos Networks (a fiber optic cable company located in Staunton, Waynesboro and Harrisonburg), receive (for now) WDBJ-TV from Roanoke as their default CBS affiliate. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:49, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Tom Murphy (U.S. politician)

Hi. I have (reluctantly) deleted your recent addition to Tom Murphy...even though you were completely correct with your quote and reference. I think the article you quoted contains an error. An error that is apparent on it's face. It's a situation I've not run into in the past. So I would like to discuss this with you, if it is something that you care to bother with. You quoted the source, The New York Times, correctly. But that quote from the Times appears to be wrong. The historian is quoted as saying that Murphy, through his actions, held back Republican representation that would otherwise have taken hold in the "late 60's or early 70'". He states that, as Speaker, Murphy could "change the rules" every two years. Trouble with this is (1) Murphy was only elected speaker in 1974. (2) The next reapportionment did not take place until 1981. So, as Speaker, he could not have held back Republicans before the election of 1976 (most certainly) and not likely until 1981...with reapportionment. Don't know exactly what "change the rules" refers to. Murphy would have been able to pass certain changes to the election laws, like who appears first on the ballot, when primary elections take place, and things like multi-member districts (which could help, but not completely protect democrats)...but those are all minor compared with the great power of reapportionment (which is the whole thrust of that section of the bio...and did not take place every two years). Again, I don't quite know how to handle an obvious error, other than to delete it. To leave it in (even though it meets all the requirements) would, I believe, degrade the integrity of the article.Gulbenk (talk) 02:16, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Re: "Breaking"

Re: Penn State Scandal and Graham Spanier. Gotta disagree with you on that. Readers don't care about who "broke" the news, they care about the facts. Mentioning two news outlets who reported what some anonymous source told them would happen isn't important, what is important is what happened (i.e. the charges). And they take the focus off the subject of the articles. I can only imagine if every single fact in every article mentioned the source in-text. That'd be bad style for sure. --Jtalledo (talk) 23:58, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Raleigh-Durham TV

Hi! I did a little browsing through the TV listings of the Raleigh News & Observer for the late '60's and early '70's and found some things that you might find interesting. Apparently, at that time, all three networks were split among WRAL, WTVD and WRDU. WRAL carried the CBS Morning News, Captain Kangaroo, NBC Nightly News, and most of ABC's schedule. WTVD carried the Today Show, most of CBS's schedule, and the CBS Evening News. WRDU signed on about 10 AM and carried the remainder of NBC's schedule but no network or local news programming whatsoever - it looks like ABC's evening newscast was not on in the market until 1972 or 1973, when it appears that things settled into a normal affiliation pattern with ABC exclusively on WRAL, CBS on WTVD and NBC on WRDU.

Vietnam

Read;

The Central Committee when it convenes for its first session after being elected by a National Party Congress elects the Politburo.[1] According to David Koh, in interviews with several high-standing Vietnamese officials, the Politburo ranking is based upon the number of approval votes by the Central Committee. Lê Hồng Anh, the Minister of Public Security, was ranked 2nd in the 10th Politburo because he received the second-highest number of approval votes. Another example being Tô Huy Rứa of the 10th Politburo, he was ranked lowest because he received the lowest approval vote of the 10th Central Committee when he standing for election for a seat in the Politburo. This system was implemented at the 1st plenum of the 10th Central Committee.[2] Another theory is that the Politburo ranking functioned as an official order of precedence before the 10th Party Congress, and some believe it still does.[1]

"for all intents and purposes"

Greetings, Hanging Curve. I've been following your recent edits to the Florida Gators men's basketball article. The Norm Carlson quote notwithstanding, you cannot accurately characterize the Gators basketball program as an "intramural program" "for all intents and purposes" prior to Sloan's arrival in Gainesville. First of all, Carlson was clearly speaking hyperbolically about a team that was admittedly a secondary priority within the Gators sports program for most of its history, when the overwhelming emphasis was on improving the mediocre football team. Notwithstanding their history of mediocrity, the Gators played in a University Division conference, and awarded a full complement of athletic scholarships. From 1951 to 1960, the Gators were led by John Maurer, the former head coach of Kentucky in the 1920s and Tennessee in the 1940s, who won two SEC championships and two SEC tournaments with the Volunteers. (Maurer also served as a football assistant under Bob Neyland at Tennessee.) The Gators were always led by a full-time paid basketball coach, not a "volunteer," but the basketball coaches prior to Sloan also served as head football coach, assistant football coach, head baseball coach, athletic director, or some combination thereof. Prior to World War II, serving as a coach for two or more teams was not unusual at all for many major universities, and it was typical for most coaches other than head football coaches. Most single-sport coaches simply could not earn enough to support themselves and their families; that's why most head coaches of major college football programs also served as athletic director prior to World War II. In short, characterizing Gators basketball prior to Sloan as an intramural program "for all intents and purposes" is not only inaccurate, it's also a mischaracterization of what Carlson actually said.

Your recent edits on WPXN-TV were changed for one main reason: The decision to sell WNYC-TV to a commercial buyer was made by the City itself (the Giuliani administration), not because the WNYC Foundation chose not to buy the station. The other changes in word usage and tense are minor and were honestly unneeded, but that is my opinion. Other Side One (talk) 16:07, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Proposed rewrite of Joh Bjelke-Petersen

Hi HangingCurve, I note you have made some contributions to the Joh Bjelke-Petersen article in the past. I have added a new thread on the Joh talk page providing a link to my rewrite/remodel of the article (currently in my sandbox) which I propose to upload as the new version of the article. I've explained my motives at the talk page and would welcome your thoughts. The article could definitely benefit from a more recent image of Joh, but there's nothing else in Wikicommons and I have yet to find anything suitable that is copyright-free. That's an issue for a little later, perhaps. BlackCab (talk) 11:53, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, HangingCurve. I assume it was you that supplied the following to The Early Years section of the WSUI article: "WSUI helped to form NPR in 1971, and was one of the 90 stations to carry the inaugural broadcast of All Things Considered." Could you please provide me with the source of your infomation. Also, In what way did WSUI help to form NPR? Thanks in advance -- user:Fas426 -- fas426@e-facts.netFranklin Seiberling

02/04/2013 - Thanks for your update and clarification that WSUI was one of the 90 NPR charter member stations. So, reviewing this link ... http://www.npr.org/about/aboutnpr/history.html ... WSUI must have been among the stations when "NPR was incorporated on February 26, 1970, by 90 forward-thinking charter stations to provide national news programming." Could you be so kind as give me a link to, or tell me where you found, the list of those 90 stations.

No reason to assume your edits are anything but good-faith; but unless there's been substantial coverage of it in the press or in scholarly analysis, "Democrat does well in Dane County and city of Milwaukee" isn't exactly headline news.

Shibe Park infobox

Hello, Hanging Curve, I commented-out your December 2012 reinsertion of the "Owners" section of the Shibe Park infobox because the details are not correct. The progression of ownership was not strictly the A's-Phils-Wolman 3-step you implied; there are contradictions and also murky interim steps — I detailed them on the talk page. Because of the complications and the difficulty with quality cites, I recommend we don't try to summarize this ticklish tale in an infobox. Regards, 96.245.109.133 (talk) 14:31, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Shibe Park edits

Hello. I blended our edits to Shibe Park because your rewrite of my rewrite restored the double references to the move to Shibe. They only moved once, so we only need to say it once. Also, on my previous edit summary I said the "plural of Landis is Landis's" — of course I meant "possessive" not "plural". I gotta stop doing this so late at night.

WTAE-TV

The main reason I removed the sentence you added was because it confuses the facts. But since you brought it back...

WTAE was intended to be a Pittsburgh station regardless of where the COL was. The way to get around having their studio location in either Irwin or McKeesport was for them to have requested a hyphenated COL ("Irwin-Pittsburgh" or "McKeesport-Pittsburgh"), but that would have only worked if the COL wasn't moved to Pittsburgh proper. Their studio in Wilkinsburg is just outside of Pittsburgh city limits, and they've been there since day one.

We both understand this, but I think it's too technical and the average reader wouldn't care. Unless you want to explain all of that above, I think we should leave that sentence out. Other Side One (talk)

I cleared a couple paragraphs in the beginning, but there's a lot of work to be done; I have half a mind to clean it up for an eventual GA myself, but, of course, any help is welcome. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 20:27, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Writing style

Hello HangingCurve. I see you've been adding quite a bit of material to articles on Israeli politics. I have a couple of concerns about the stuff you are adding. Firstly around the type of language you're using - using phrases like "in fact" or "smashing victory". These are not very encyclopedic and more something I'd expect to see in a tabloid newspaper. Another is that some of your additions are verging into WP:Original research, for example the sentence "Although it is seemingly difficult to build a majority in the Knesset" - like the other writing, this is also somewhat unencylopedic, but it looks like opinion rather than fact. Cheers, Number 57 13:54, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Just an FYI, the electoral threshold has not been raised to 4% in Israel. It was part of the coalition agreement, but no law has been passed to that effect as yet, so the threshold remains at 2%. I have also removed the "79,000 votes" bit - the number of votes required to pass the threshold is dependent on (a) the number of registered voters and (b) the number of people that vote, and these will be different at every election. Number 57 14:55, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Verifiability

What I'm about to say may sound harsh, and I don't mean it to, but I think it needs to be said, in case someone hasn't already done so. Good-faith though your edits to articles about history may be, I think they tend to do more harm than good. Take, for instance, this edit. Had the Communists in fact "dropped all pretense of democracy"? I have no doubt about that, although they would say they were pursuing a different, "better" vision of democracy, not the "bourgeois" variety. But that's not the point; the point is that verifiability not truth is the standard of inclusion here.

Now, the paragraph is sourced to Grenville, pp. 370–71. Does Grenville, pp. 370–71 actually say that the Communists had "dropped all pretense of democracy"? If so, great. But I rather doubt it. And by adding this material, you're (consciously or unconsciously) manipulating the text to make it seem that way. Well, that's wrong. It damages the integrity of the project, and it should stop. It violates WP:V and, implicitly, WP:SYNTH and WP:NOR. Please reconsider your editing philosophy, and if you have material to add, be sure it's properly sourced. - Biruitorul Talk 17:43, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Mud Hens

Hi there. Just a heads-up that I reverted your edit to the Mud Hens history section. As noted in the edit history, that material needs citations before it can be restored. It's been tagged as needing sources for four years, so I think we're probably past the point where we leave it up to see if someone comes along to handle it. — Bdb484 (talk) 19:29, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

John C. Stennis

I have no interest in engaging in an edit war, but anyone who wins an election "wins the seat in his own right," as opposed to being appointed to it. The fact that it was a special election to fill a term caused by someone else's death is irrelevant to that. You're using the incorrect terminology to describe the fact that his first election was for less than a full term. 71.75.57.32 (talk) 00:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
