hi paul
i am registered but typically don't log in. pseudoanonymity is one of the pillars of wikipedia. anyway, names like bigdaddy777 don't really helps us much. i also don't know how to indent responses on these talk pages.
there are *many* non neutral edits. look at almost any revert and you'll see a case where one person thinks another is not behaving neutrally.
i don't really know if this section should be called controversy, but her involvement with Paula Jones seems worthwhile. If its too long how about a couple sentences and a link to a separate article about it?
you've commented on this already, but again, its not reasonable to remove things that have become crufty with two years of debate, especially if they're things that you might imagine yourself opposed to do to political sensibilities (for instance attacks on conservatives). if you're really concerned about quality of content, the full archives of this article are available to peruse and sort out the most neutral truth, though it would take hours.

Again, the discussion about the use of the term ""states"" belong to other talk pages. I don't understand why this your personal opinion, which is similar to old disputes about ""widely recognised state"", You constantly advocate right here. Using of the term ""states"" for the entities included in the List of sov.states certainly don't consider any violation of NPOV. Especially if it is accompanied by explanatory note.
There is no any reason why delete the total number of recognitions. It is a logical first information in the intro. On the contrary, there is no reason why the number of UN members in acknowledging the intro article placed twice. In addition, we can of course mention the limited recognition of S.O., I had suggested a comment about it. Indicating of the number of recognition of S. Ossetia here is redundant, this is an article about the recognition of the SADR, but not of S.Ossetia. Who cares about the recognitions of S.Ossetia, makes use the link or template, and peeks at the appropriate page.
Article should be logically structured, concise and easy to read. To clear the total number of received recognition, duplication of information about UN members, detailed information about one peripheral recognizer – it's not a meaningful editing, which would have contributed to this. Please stop your edit war, and repeated aggressive rewriting the total number of received recognitions etc. under false pretenses. This is not a good way to improve the article.

Falcon, I admire this Mark Slater because he seems to be a real man with balls of steel. He's more Russian than he will ever know, something you will never understand. He knows, he really knows, while most never come close to reaching a true understanding. He may have the strangest face I've even seen on this planet, but he has a brain, a very powerful brain, and that is often a rare thing to discover here at Wikipedia. What I find most laughable is that so many Wiki editors stick tags on certain listings and threaten removal but they rarely act on their threats. They usually only throw out a listing if they get offended personally, like little girls who get so upset because a boy throws mud on their face. LOL Falcon, you can remove info, you can stick all the tags you want on Wiki listings, but those who know what real music happens to be do not care. They know the difference between mediocre Coldplay and quality. They have learned the true reasons why material is thrown away or tags are applied, and they know that in most cases, those kinds of actions are meaningless. I've seen listings here on Wikipedia that have had the same tags for years, and nothing more ever happened. In fact, when I see a listing tagged, that tells me that the listing is probably of such high quality that certain jealous editors felt they had to deface it, so it deserves even more tribute. I speak the Truth, Falcon, and I know you don't like to hear the Truth, but there it is. | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

To verify that it IS in fact true, simply open wordpad, change the font size to 72 and font to wingdings, then type in Q33NY (using caps for the letters).
it shows an airplane, 2 rectangles - what look like sheets of paper, a skull n crossed bones, and the star of David (aka Jewish star).

What a complete crock. By calling everyone under the age of 18 a ""child"", which the dictionary correctly defines as a human between the ages of infancy and puberty, you can make everything even remotely sexual sound salacious and evil. Teenagers are insulted to be called ""children,"" and if you start using terms like ""teenage sex"" and ""teenage sex with adults"" to describe problematical behavior by kids old enough to know better, the ""poor little abused children"" angle is more difficult to sell. Maybe we should just go to the ultimate extreme, and legally define everyone under 18 as a ""baby."" Then all sex with minors could be ""poor little babies being abused and raped,"" which would no doubt please the Judith Reisman's, John Ashcroft's, and David Finkelhor's of the world. When such semantic games have to be employed to sell an agenda, with disqualification of everyone holding a different perspective as ""perpetuating the abuse"", what you have is pseudo-science and flim-flam, and not unbiased reporting. 20:10" | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

That is an interesting spin on your earlier comment: my views have ""zero validity"" on my talk page, but ""100% validity"" at an RFC. I am not sure I can make a cogent response to these conflicting statements.
In answer to your question, I think it important to maintain clear personal boundaries when it comes to disputes between editors. Not accepting personal attacks is one such boundry, another is courtesy, and another is mutual respect. If these personal boundries break down, subsequent discussion can degenerate into generalised mudslinging, which I think is what happened with the RFC's I have been the subject of. These RFC's have brought accusations that are too generalised to either prove or refute. As a generalisation, it is generally a good idea to avoid accusations based on generalisations, because I would end up being painted in a bad light whether I particiated or not.
With regard to the RFC, the lack of courtesy shown by not being notified of a draft being started is indicative of a lack of respect for myself, or at least that is my personal view (valid or not). Evidence support this view is indicated by the fact that if the proposers of the RFC were really interested in resolving their personal disagreements with me, they would have brought their pet peeves to this talk page first, and we could resolve them in an amicable way. Unfortunetly, that did not happen. I can only speculate why, but I think it has something to do with the inabilty of a group of editors (myself included) not being able to come to shared understanding of how notability applies to certain topics.
I am a reasonable editor, and I am confident when it comes to disputes (personal or editorial), a that shared understanding of the issues involved can be reached. But it can only come about in an atmosphere of mutual respect and courtesy. (talk|contribs) " | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

":::Believe it or not, I was rather busy over the last two months, so I had no desire to get into a large debate with you. Reverting vandalism is much easier than debating though, which is why I've assisted in maintaining the page. The biggest problem is that the definition of main event varies. For example, why is Chavo/Kane from WM24, a match never promoted by the company as a main event, listed, but not Flair/Michaels from the same show, which the company considered making the actual main event (and, indeed, several WWE folks said afterwards that it should have). Other examples exist. Why Kane/Undertaker from WMXX, but not Undertaker/Michaels from WM25, another match which was heavily promoted and considered for the final match on the show? (Presumably, it's because someone around here is a Kane fan) Because of these (and other) inconsistancies, we should limit it the actual final match on the card. 0422

Hi again I really think the solar sail people are a bit optimistic about its use for interstellar travel. The reason is just that as the acceleration is slow, you have to wait a long time, and travel a long way, to reach high speed. At a uniform acceleration a, you reach velocity v after traveling a distance s according to
v = sqrt(2as)
in Newtonian approximation, which is applicable at the speeds we could hope to reach. Then
s = v2/(2a)
and for a given v, s gets very large if a is small. But since the intensity of sunlight decreases like 1/s2 with distance from the Sun, a does not remain constant, but drops rapidly, making things very much worse. Once you get out to well beyond the orbit of Pluto, where the Sun begins to look like a very bright star, the photon drag of the light of other stars begins to become significant, as well as the cosmic background radiation, which has an energy density comparable to that of starlight. Finally there is the problem that at really high speeds, the light of the Sun would begin to be red shifted, so you lose power from that effect too. Some of these problems can be solved by beaming light or microwaves out to the ship, with a huge power station (a trillion watts, say) near the Earth, and a large aperture mirror to focus the beam on the ship. Then, as long as you can maintain the focal spot as small as the ship's sail, you could get constant acceleration. A calculation I did years ago (which I will not try to reproduce now...) suggested to me that speeds of maybe 0.1c could conceivably be reached in this manner (which is very exciting) — but then, somehow, you have to stop.
(For example, if I recall, if the aperture of the beaming mirror is R, the ship sail dia r, the distance from the Sun D, and the wavelength λ, then you need
λ/R = r/D
and acceleration 10-3g will get you to 0.03c in 30 years, at a distance D of 0.5 light years, 1018/2 cm, which makes the mirror R ~ 50 km in diameter for a sail r 100 km, with a 1 um λ. NB the mirror needs to be optically perfect to << λ, but the sail does not.)
Of course 0.1c is a useful speed, and you might split the problem between a beamed laser sailer, with a fusion rocket to stop, but the trillion watt figure I remember was for a fairly small ship, 100 or 1000 tons if I recall, and I think a nuclear-electric ship capable of reaching even a few percent of c is going to be much larger than that for a payload of 100 or 1000 tons. I cannot imagine a decade ship smaller than an aircraft carrier, so it sounds like a pretty tough way to go, though possibly competitive with other approaches.
What I personally think we need to do is work the problem modestly hard from an engineering standpoint, considering all approaches, producing realistic design mission studies that give us the best trade-off solution with current technology. Right now the trip time, for a program we could realistically sell to the combined economies of the planet, would probably last a thousand years or more. So in ten or thirty years we should redo the study, and see how that number has changed due to technological advances. At some point the curve of reasonable trip times will either get down to the order of the time between studies, or else it will flatten out when we hit the wall of feasible engineering. Or maybe there will be a huge breakthrough when somebody figures out how to create a wormhole to a nearby star, or something equally revolutionary. Anyhow, only when the trip time is getting down to the time between studies (which would depend on the rate of technology change) would it be sensible to start a serious program, with what NASA would call a ""Phase A study"", leading to a program start, then a Preliminary Design Review, and then a Critical Design Review,... which is when you can start cutting metal.
Solar sailing is probably a competitive way of getting around the Solar System, though I think nuclear-electric ion drives are likely to prove better. The latter can certainly take us all over the Solar System in the time scales of the great explorations of the 15th and 16th centuries. Then in 500 years the Solar System will be ours, and we will have a far better idea of exactly what is out there in the dark between the stars, possibly mini-solar systems like Jupiter & its moons. If such systems are common, we might find useful places to go only 1% as far as Alpha Centauri, which would change everything. And the human species would be safe at last from the many disasters which threaten us now.

That looks much better. Without the links, it looks ok, but I actually don't really see the use of it. But if you insist on adding it, fine. I just think it's unnecessary, since anyone can click on the link and see it all there. | (talk) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

What you did is deleted hole section without any argument and called to talk? People can work on that on same page but they don't want to do that. They want to delete hole section and you did same. I know why they do it because they want to push their POV, but I am wondering why you do it? What is your relation to Serbian chapter and did someone ask you to do favor for them to delete this text and protect page?76.114.213.50 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Not to mince words, or use weaselly ones, I'm right and you're wrong, Slp1. We can and should also change the text, of course, so that's not much of an issue. What our current sources demonstrate is exactly what I have suggested should be our wording: Many scholars and other observers have described the men's rights movement as a backlash to the feminist movement. It is really no more weaselly than our current wording: It is considered to be a backlash to the feminist movement which, of course, invites the question ""by whom;"" the answer being ""by many scholars and other observers."" The answer is not ""by all scholars"" of course; and no, we don't need to find scholars who explicitly argue against it being a ""backlash"" because disputing epithets given to certain social movements is rarely the work of scholars. It is enough that some don't use that description. As for the fact that some MRM folks embrace the term, as I basically explained to Binksternet, that and two dollars will get you a cup of coffee.

Another followup question: if I had not happened to check ""What links here"" from ¿Por qué no te callas? after I cited it, would I never have known I was reported as a faulty conflict of interest? That is very troubling. (Talk) " | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Questions about the editing of Edward 321, which does not appear accurate
I have the Spreti source in front of me, and sure look different that what you are reporting...
1)Spreti says that the family was of the old tradition (the old order of Rome) originally of the gens Catellia, of the Roman consulars?, p.274
2)Spreti says that Johannes Barbaro, prester, with a clear autograph was capable for the concession in 982 for the church of Santo Zorzi?, p274
3)Spreti says that by 992 the Barbaro were Authorities of the Republic and were part of the patriciate at the serrata for the Great Council in 1297?, p.275
4)Spreti says that the imperial eagle was ""framing"" Francesco Barbaro's arms, not quartering, which the old Italian word looks like, p.275
5) Spreti says that after the Congress of Vienna (Sovr. Risoluz.) which was assembled to give back what Napoleon took, the (original nobility) as Spreti states both the titles of Patrician of Venice and Nobile were authorized.
6) Spretti says that Alessando Barbaro (1764-1839) was a member of the Council of Ten, High Counciler of the Supreme Tribunal of Verona, and owner of Palazzo Dario, p-277-288
7) Spretti also talks about the aviation achievments of Aldo Barbaro as well, p. 278
8) Spretti also adds a whole other section for the familiy's foreign titles that were granted by royal decree in the encylopedia that you seem not to mention at all..." | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
992 AD Map of Poland (in center) showing some of Silesia, Wroclaw/Breslau already conquered by Poland). Poland on and off conquered additional people's land surrounding Poland. In 1157 the Holy Roman Empire ended the Polish conquest of Silesia, by installing two Silesian duchies Wroclaw/Breslau and Ratibor (later named Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia. The empire installed Boleslaus and Mieszko as dukes of Silesia, who held both duchies in fief from the empire. Even the Duchy of Poland, the Polish dukes pledged allegiance to the empire and held territory as fief. Only in 1025 did Boleslaw I Chrobry declare himself king and died the same year. His son tried to evade taking the land in lien from the Holy Roman Empire, but after some years, had to submit. Further Polish dukes all submitted to the empire. Then Wenzel II, a king of Bohemia (part of the empire) also became King of Poland.
Silesia, conquered in the 990s by Boleslaw I Chrobry was until 1157 ruled by Polish dukes (who were subject to the Holy Roman Empire). Thus Silesia, conquered in the 990s by Boleslaw I Chrobry was until 1157 'Polish'. Map of Poland in 992 AD (with Wroclaw - Silesia partially conquered) From 1157 Silesian dukes governed Silesia and they were subject to the highest dukes (magnus dux) of Silesia, the Holy Roman Emperors. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
