| I missed this the first time because I usually look at all the changes at the same time.. then I saw that you [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Talk:Homeopathy/Draft&diff=next&oldid=100514192 deleted something].. did you mean to do that? I was going to respond, but thought maybe you changed your mind or something. [[User:D. Matt Innis|D. Matt Innis]] 23:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

| How do you feel about the [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] article from a military standpoint? Is it ready for approval? If so, could you nominate it? Then I'll get some people from other applicable workgroups to join in. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 16:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

| :It's not ready. The WWII is better than Cold War; the Cold War has a lot of ideological baggage. It's fixable, but I need references and I'd like to get some Afghanistan things in better order -- to say nothing of some Vietnam material that's long been close to approval. [[User:Howard C.

| == RIM-2 Terrier ==
| |
| | |
| I have made a copy of your article in [[User:Drew R. Smith/RIM-2 Terrier|my draft space]], with the minor modification of using the convert template instead of writing out the conversion. I have set the values to display what you had written, however if you want a more precise conversion simply change <nowiki>{{convert|12|km|feet|</nowiki>'''-4'''<nowiki>}} to display as {{convert|12|km|feet|</nowiki>'''2'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> and it will display out to the second decimal.
| |
| | |
| If you like it this way, simply copy the draft into the article space. I have not touched anything other than the conversions.[[User:Drew R. Smith|Drew R. Smith]] 20:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC) | |

| == Underground ==
| |
| | |
| 'subway' is the American term, it sees a little usage here too but 'underground' or 'metro' is more common, mainly because 'subway' over here refers to a pedestrian underpass. 'Metro' is the best general term I think, mainly because it's used worldwide and it doesn't restrict to systems with underground running. I put [[District Line]] in the Engineering workgroup, there needs to be a transport one though! [[User:Tom F Walker|Tom F Walker]] 21:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

| == Internet protocol ==
| |
| | |
| Howard, you are answering so quickly that I suspect that you did not notice
| |
| that a few days ago I put two questions/remarks on [[Talk:Internet Protocol]].
| |
| Furthermore, you should check if my edits are ok. [[User:Peter Schmitt|Peter Schmitt]] 00:35, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| At [[Anycasting]] you have reacted immediately. May I ask what's the matter with [[Internet Protocol]]? [[User:Peter Schmitt|Peter Schmitt]] 19:54, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

| :Sorry, I didn't know anything was outstanding. I'll check it soon; I'm trying to finish some things with books I have to return to the library this evening. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 20:00, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

| == What title should I use? ==
| |
| | |
| Howard, I am writing an article on the U.S.'s Clean Air Act. That is its legal name, Clean Air Act. But some other countries also have Clean Air Acts. So how should I title the article on the U.S.'s Clean Air Act? At the moment, I am leaning toward "Clean Air Act (United States)".
| |
| | |
| What would you suggest? [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 02:49, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :I'd use Clean Air Act (U.S.). [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 04:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

| == Voting for [[Domain Name System]] nominee for Article of the Week ==
| |
| | |
| Howard, I am not sure that it is kosher for you to change Peter Schmitt's vote from supporter to specialist supporter. I would feel more comfortable about it if you asked him to confirm that change either on your Talk page or my Talk page. Regards, [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 19:46, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

| == Internment ==
| |
| | |
| In light of emerging news about the Tamils, I'm considering starting an article on [[internment]] as a general practice. The topic covers military, politics, and sociology, so we definitely have enough editors to do a three-editor approval if some of them are involved. Care to join me? I'll probably download some reference materials today and tomorrow and get started some time this week.
| |
| | |
| P.S. I also intend to get back to the interrogation article and approvals in the next few days. Having a house guest got me distracted... --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 20:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Is internment a subset of [[extrajudicial detention]]? I would argue it ''mostly'' is; there are some "legal but nonjudicial" forms of internment specified by international law. I'd consider both detention of enemy aliens (and diplomats temporarily) in a declared war, and then population things such as the Japanese, both to be internment. Note that I exclude things that are intended to be harsh, such as the gulags and concentration camps from internment.
| |
| | |
| :You weren't interrogating the house guest, were you?
| |
| | |
| :I may be doing some short classes on interrogation and intelligence soon, a one-hour about the US probably approved this week, but perhaps a 4-8 week adult education course. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 20:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::Yes, I'd say it's mostly a subset of extrajudicial detention. I can't think of any historical examples that weren't extrajudicial, but I don't think that part is actually intrinsic to the idea or practice of internment though. It doesn't take much of a stretch to imagine a legal system making allowances for the internment of certain categories of people. Some of the actions taken against Native Americans in U.S. history might count. I guess we'll find answers as we go along. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 03:13, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

| == transplantation ==
| |
| | |
| Is there a reason all of those articles need to be titled [[Transplantation, heterologous]] and [[Transplantation, isogeneic]] and so forth rather than [[Heterlogous transplantation]] and [[Isogenic transplantation]]? If it is for keeping them together in lists, that can be done using the abc field in the metadata and leaving the title as the actual term. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 16:10, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :The rationale is that those are the exact indexing terms used by the National Library of Medicine in [[Medical Subject Headings]]. I certainly don't mind redirecting in non-inverse order, and indeed am doing so for synonyms such as [[xenotransplantation]], but I do believe that when there is an authoritative reference for a term, that should be the article name. As long as there are redirects, it shouldn't be a problem for the reader. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 16:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::But that's an ''index''. We have the abc field so that in our index-equivalents we can alphabetize them just the same. But regular old article titles aren't part of an index. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 03:32, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
