The article is poorly written and after reading it twice I am still unclear exactly how "Romney" or "Romneying" is defined, how this relates to the well-known Santorum neologism, or why this is notable (3,000 likes does not notability make). 69.31.35.200 (talk)15:33, 14 February 2012 More info at http://spreadingromney.com/ | |
From Comments:'Stop being so damn respectful' say free speech supporters in London | I seriously doubt that Professor Dawkins would limit his "stop being so damn respectful" remark just to Islam. I'm pretty sure he'd include Christianity -- hell, ALL superstitions -- in that suggestion. 72.100.131.240 (talk)20:47, 12 February 2012 No, Dawkins didn't limit it to Islam. —Tom Morris (talk)21:20, 12 February 2012 |
From Comments:'Stop being so damn respectful' say free speech supporters in London | There is no pit too low for Atheists to sink to. I suppose racism on their part was only inevitable. 98.250.168.229 (talk)16:37, 12 February 2012 You seem to be under some some sort of deep misapprehension about the nature of atheism. The fact that you incorrectly capitalize the word atheist is symptomatic, as is your apparent perception of racism in advocacy of free speech. Racism? But the whole point of many speakers at the rally is that charges of racism are just a technique to get people to shut up and not say horrible mean things about religion, like that it's stupid, wrong or false. Hey, look, it's Muhammad!
—Tom Morris (talk)21:25, 12 February 2012 Religions are not races dummy. If you would read something that didn't come from the church library, you would know that. Please, please get yourself deprogrammed. You are doing great damage to society by allowing ignorance to prevail. 76.25.213.70 (talk)14:06, 13 February 2012 |
From Comments:'Stop being so damn respectful' say free speech supporters in London | I'm not aware of the background behind this, and a description of and/or link to said comic might be helpful, since it's mentioned twice and I have no idea what this is about. sonia00:28, 12 February 2012 The stupid thing is that it actually isn't a Jesus and Mo cartoon, just the cover image from the Jesus and Mo book. It's posted in this blog post on the New Humanist website. (As Jesus and Mo is some form of CC NonCommercial license, I didn't post it because blergh, copyright.) —Tom Morris (talk)00:37, 12 February 2012 Ever heard of the internet? 76.25.213.70 (talk)22:45, 14 February 2012 |
From Comments:Santorum neologism gains prominence during US election cycle | "I suspect if something was up there like that about, say, Joe Biden, they would get rid of it..." Click the I'm Feeling Lucky button for a search on Failure and you get GW Bush. Google does not censor or alter their searches; hence Santorum will retain his obtained meaning. 24.58.253.85 (talk)15:34, 10 February 2012 |
From Comments:Santorum neologism gains prominence during US election cycle | I like Santorum. Even though we do not agree on this subject, I am voting for him anyway. His vision of America and his character shine above a field of liars on both sides of the political scale. 75.129.104.232 (talk)02:11, 10 February 2012 |
From Comments:Santorum neologism gains prominence during US election cycle | Senator Rick Santorum has as any American the right to speak out his heart, LGBT Constant fear is derived from the practice of constant Evil,they fear that the man will be elected and while in power might limit not their freedoms but their but their libertinage. 68.206.132.16 (talk)22:45, 9 February 2012 |

From Comments:Santorum neologism gains prominence during US election cycle | Disgusting, vulgar parasites. Your day at the scaffolds will soon come. 98.250.168.229 (talk)13:03, 7 February 2012 |
From Comments:Susan G. Komen Foundation reneges on Planned Parenthood funding cuts | Does not pass NPOV. "Reneges" is a POV term showing editorial bias. 198.228.220.129 (talk)03:00, 6 February 2012 The issue was brought up on the article collaboration page (which is a more appropriate place for it). Two notes here, as they pertain to the form of the comment here.

From Comments:Scientology guilty of fraud rules French appeal court | What are your thoughts on the France appeals court ruling upholding the conviction of fraud for the Scientology organization?as in THINKING...that thing you do with your brain. IF you have one...156.8.251.250 (talk) 03:42, 3 February 2012 (UTC) 156.8.251.250 (talk)03:42, 3 February 2012 I think Scientology is just as much a scam as Christianity. France ought to haul the Pope in next for the same treatment. 150.148.0.65 (talk)22:37, 6 February 2012 Hopefully this ruling helps the States realize that they're allowing a Slave-Trafficking, murderous, fraudulent cult have religious protection, and start seeing them for what they really are: A threat to their National Security. |
From Comments:Cyclone Laila lashes across India's Eastern coastline | increase the imformation on the cyclone and its damages. try to give more pics and videos. 116.74.109.50 (talk)12:06, 26 January 2012 This is not Wikipedia. What you're asking for is an encyclopedia article; what you're looking at is a news article. Brian McNeil / talk13:26, 26 January 2012 |
english page so why no unit conversion to say 100 k/hr=62 mph? also omits total emissions eg emissions at electricity plant 173.230.227.132 (talk)06:46, 26 January 2012 I did make sure, when fact-checking this during review, that our article wouldn't say it was zero emissions, merely that it claimed such. Getting the data for China's emissions per kW/h, and usage by the new trains would likely be very difficult to do in the time constraints of news reporting. However, an electrified rail network is more forward-looking as low-emission generating capacity can be brought online, or carbon sequestration technologies can be applied at existing plants. Interest point to raise, but makes the kph snipe seem churlish in comparison. Brian McNeil / talk07:10, 26 January 2012 | |
perhaps there is a mistake but 100km/h? that doesn't sound like MagNev but like a steam engine. 50.92.216.63 (talk)22:00, 24 January 2012 Some maglev isn't high-speed (by rail standards). At high speeds, friction with the rails would be prohibitive, but at lower speeds it's still wasteful. Well, I checked the sources and they do say 100km/h. I rather suspect the low speed is connected to the 'low-cost' part. You get what you pay for. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs)22:51, 24 January 2012 | |
From Comments:Indian MP demands arrest of writers reading banned novel at literature festival | Mention who Rushdie is and how he relates -- he isn't introduced in the article 65.74.4.103 (talk)16:19, 23 January 2012 There are trivial ways to find the information you mention, and it's as if you expect us to write "news for ET" in assuming our readers won't know who Salman Rushdie is. 1. The article links to the Wikipedia entry on the book. 2. This is a follow-up on the article covering Rushdie's decision not to attend. Both of those links trivially answer the points you raise. Were a news article to expound as you seem to think it should, it would cease to be a news article and become an encyclopedia entry. Seek those over there. Brian McNeil / talk16:24, 23 January 2012 |
From Comments:U.S. presidential candidate Newt Gingrich wins South Carolina primary | Gringrich may not be perfect, but with the stakes as they are for this Presidential race,I don't care about his private life or about any whinning, jealous ex-wife. The goal is to get the Socialist/Communist absolutely anti US Constitution current President out of there, and if the unperfect Gingrish is it, I'll vote for him. Very few voters have forgotten that Romney's healthcare initiative has bankrupted a state and that those citizens go to the surrounding states for their healthcare! No middle roader for me!!! 107.4.34.80 (talk)17:45, 22 January 2012 I get the impression you use words like communist, socialist, un-constitutional, etc., when you really mean black. I can't abide bigots, but hate those who dog-whistle code to hide racism! 141.0.8.50 (talk)20:45, 22 January 2012 He also uses "Middle-roader" as code for "Mormon" and "unperfect" as code for "overweight". The bigotry goes all around with this guy. 97.89.52.45 (talk) 06:23, 26 January 2012 (UTC) 97.89.52.45 (talk)06:23, 26 January 2012 Wow you IPs are funny folks. Resident Mario (talk)20:15, 28 January 2012 I take any socialist any day over a corporate boot licker like Newt or Mitt. They can't seem to see beyond their five star hotels and million dollar homes. 99.13.117.143 (talk)22:37, 29 January 2012 |
What happens when yesterday becomes last week, or last year, etc., etc.? Why wasn't the date used in the article? 76.174.159.15 (talk)06:41, 22 January 2012 The date is the very first thing on the article, but I guess you never considered looking properly before saying something stupid. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs)12:44, 22 January 2012 This. Is. Not. An. Encyclopedia. Sheesh! Some people are so un-hip it's a wonder their asses don't fall off.

From Comments:US government, music industry websites taken offline in web attack | Three cheers for Internet freedom of speech! 69.117.127.152 (talk)20:24, 20 January 2012 If the so-called "Anonymous" tries to take down US government, then try to attack Pentagon and Department of Defense as a method to 'Show of Forces'. It may cause a global cyber-war, but it is a daunting task to track each DoS attacker; leave alone the DDoS attacker and Dynamic IP attacker. Just like Wikileaks that steals top-secret data from Whiskey Hotel (think Brevity Code) or any other government office. Also if deemed neccesary, held ICBM hostage and demand US Government to eliminate SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA at once or else.... |
1. How can anyone know with certainty that any of the meteorites really are Martian in origin? 2. It says there have been 24,000 meteorites - When? What time frame are we talking about? Who is counting, and how could anyone know how many meteorites have hit the Earth in any time frame? Is this just an estimate, and if so, by who? 99.10.165.111 (talk)18:22, 19 January 2012 | |
From Comments:Wikinews interviews Sue Gardner on Wikipedia blackout | So this article is not neutral and I applaud that! Love that a company this big is take a stance. This article is not meant to be neutral, go Wikipedia!!! 74.251.151.226 (talk)14:51, 18 January 2012 Wikinews is neutral in reporting: but we do have interviews where interviewees are allowed to say what they wish and express their opinions. We don't do Fox News style fake balance though. —Tom Morris (talk)14:59, 18 January 2012 Fox News often sets up a back and forth with two guests. The "information" presented on Wikipedia's website during the protest made no allowance for any rebuttal with respect to the claims of fact that were made. How about for your next interview calling up The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation and asking them about where their funding is coming from and what their view of the protest is. Brian Dell (talk)10:48, 19 January 2012 The ITIF? Not, based on this page (http://www.itif.org/content/board), someone I'd trust to be "unbiased" about SOPA or PIPA. Orrin Hatch is well-known to be so deep in the pockets of big media companies that he's covered in lint. Brian McNeil / talk11:04, 19 January 2012 And Darrell Issa, who's also on the board, isn't the biggest anti-SOPA Congressman on the Hill? Even if they ARE biased, why so scared of hearing an opposing view? The ITIF people happen to know a lot about what's actually in these bills. Instead of interviewing Sue how about arranging a debate between her and someone who disagrees with her? Brian Dell (talk)00:13, 21 January 2012 It's evident you suffer from a malady all too common in our modern world: you can't recognize neutrality even if you see it. Presumably this malady stems in part from rarely having the opportunity to see it; I prescribe hanging around Wikinews. A Wikinewsie learns to find and present a neutral view of the news, without bias from their own opinions. We all have opinions; the trick is to know where neutrality is, so one knows where one is relative to it. Of course the article is neutral. The interviewee isn't neutral, but that's got nothing to do with the neutrality of the article. Neutrality of news is inherently different from neutrality of an encyclopedic entry; see WN:NPOV. |
