Vicinage Clause

I think you missed this sentence: "The Vicinage Clause places no limits on the prosecution of crimes committed outside the territory of a state. Thus the Supreme Court has thrice held in murder cases arising from the Indian Territory,[21] Navassa Island,[22] and the No Man's Land of the Oklahoma Panhandle.[23]" Savidan 19:33, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those cases all arose in connection with crimes committed in territory with no government, yet claimed by the United States. Other instances of extraterritorial jurisdiction have arisen in places with governments, such as Pakistan, or on territory of a different nature, such as Guantanamo Bay, or on non-territory, such as aboard aircraft in flight. The rapid recent growth of claims of extraterritorial jurisduction cries out for, at the least, an acknowledgement of this apparent conflict. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 19:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think those cases settle the question. But, if you have a source that says extraterritoriality is an open question for the Vicinage Clause, then add those. As it stands, I think there is an original research problem to include it with only sources like those you used last time. Savidan 19:55, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Lahaina Banyan Court Park

Thanks for your help with this article. I have a few questions for you. First, what do you mean by "which direction is this?" in regards to the King Kamehameha III Elementary School in the south? Do you mean something other than the south? The school is the archaeological site associated with the aliʻi. If that was confusing, let me know. Second, I generally prefer to preserve quote integrity by refraining from linking to important concepts, such as kapu. Instead, I'll try to link to it outside of the quote. Let me know if you have any further concerns. I left a bunch on the talk page if you are interested. Viriditas (talk) 04:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "south" appears between the mentions of the school and the archaeological site (separated by a comma), suggesting that the site is in another direction than south. I've tweaked that. Fine with linking another mention of "kapu", but the link should be on the first mention of the term, so ignoramuses such as myself don't ask "hunh?" and have nowhere to turn. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aah (film)

Hello!! You are right about that logical impossibility. I guess i misread the source and added the statement. The source says

Raj Kapoor's homage to Devdas is best seen in Aah (recall that in Bimal Roy's Devdas, the last word of the title character is "aah", which may be translated, in that context, as "oh! the pity of it all").

And i guess that it is just writer bringing it to our notice of this probable coincidence. I will remove that line now. Thanks for that brilliant help. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 16:17, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Episcopal-Episcopalian

Hi Piled!

As I remember you understand the dreaded "Episcopal-Episcopalian" distinction - I don't. Also, I've gotten used to you copyediting my dyks. I don't think I'll send this to dyk (takes a bit more time and effort), but could you take a look at Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial.

Any help appreciated,

Smallbones (talk) 19:18, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am touched and flattered that you would ask me for advice. Nice article—I'll have a closer look in a bit. "Episcopal" means "having to do with bishops" and thus can be applied to any denomination that has bishops. For example, there's an episcopal residence associated with most Catholic cathedrals. "Episcopalian" refers to the Protestant Episcopal Church, the United States' principal involvement with the Anglican Communion (the idea is that they don't have any clergy higher in rank than bishops, therefore the sect is "episcopal" in nature). Plenty of people say "Episcopal" anyway (I guess it's more inclusive and less stuffy-sounding); see, for example, the Episcopal Academy, the more-or-less official school of the Episcopalian Diocese of Pennsylvania.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 20:45, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nguyen v. INS — where is he now?

Hi. I agree that it would be nice to know where Tuan Anh Nguyen is now. In 2008, if I remember correctly, the US and Vietnam reached an agreement which was supposed to facilitate the deportation of Vietnamese with criminal records from the US to Vietnam. However, despite a lot of searching using Google, ProQuest, and LexisNexis, I haven't been able to find any reliable source specifically saying that Tuan Anh Nguyen was ever deported per this or any other scenario. Without an explicit statement in a reliable source, there is only speculation, which isn't good enough here. If you can find something in a reliable source, by all means feel free to add it. Keep in mind that "Tuan Anh Nguyen" (or "Nguyen Tuan Anh") appears to be a fairly common (or, at least, not extremely rare) Vietnamese name; I found some items about people with this name which, upon closer examination, must obviously have been referring to other people and not the subject of Nguyen v. INS. — Richwales 21:22, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ruth Norman

Hi Piledhigheranddeeper, I know you often copyedit articles that are on the main page, so I thought I'd ask if you'd be interested in going over Ruth Norman (on DYK today). I'd love if you could look at the grammar in prose, if you're interested and have time. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 18:59, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm (almost) always interested in good grammar! I must say that I was impressed at the overall quality of this article. So many of the DYK listings are short to the point of incompleteness, poorly written, less-than-fully cited, and/or generally haphazard that this was a welcome change. I made a number of edits, but they are, by and large, pretty low on the significance scale. I do have an issue with the heavy reliance on one source (Tumminia), and noted that in the GA review. Keep up the good work!--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 20:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the help with the article, I really appreciate it. Glad to hear that you liked it, in large part the article's polished state is because of the attention it received from the GA reviewer and a couple people who I asked for copyediting help. I'll probably nominate it for featured article eventually, so I knew I'd have to get editing help before then. In regards to the sourcing, yes, I have been concerned about that too. It's hard not to depend on her since she has published so much about Unarius, but I'll see what I can manage. Thanks again, Mark Arsten (talk) 21:23, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a possible source of material: http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/unarius-academy-of-science; I seemed to remember reading about this group while in L.A., and it looks like I was right. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:19, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Air Florida statement

Hi! What is the source for this statement?. While stuff in the lead normally doesn't get cited, that's because it's cited elsewhere in the document and non-controversial. I also need to know because I started Air_Florida_Flight_90#Contribution_to_demise_of_Air_Florida and would like more information for this section WhisperToMe (talk) 19:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I recall, it was in the the Washingon Post. This may help a little: http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/hurricane/blog/2009/01/air_florida_disaster_27_years.html Will look more. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 22:19, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! So we have a journalist who said it did, and another journalist and two experts interviewed by that journalist who said it didn't. Perhaps additional articles will give a full picture WhisperToMe (talk) 22:27, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Don't forget the distinction between "caused" and "contributed to". I don't think anybody says the crash caused the demise by itself, but a number see it as helping along the way. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:11, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. It may also be a matter of whether people believe it had a significant effect. Turk had said "Air Florida would have folded without the crash" which made it sound like he believes the crash had an insignificant effect on things. Anyway I'd like to see the sources where they believe the crash had a significant effect. The quotes may show the nuances between the viewpoints. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:54, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Survivors Remember Flight 90: "The Air Florida accident led to the carrier's eventual demise."
Is there life for airlines after crash?: "Airlines such as ValuJet, Pan Am, Swissair and Air Florida have all been severely effected [sic] by crashes. Although in most cases, there were some underlying problems with the carriers prior to the crash for example operational or financial difficulties.[sic]" If you ignore the spelling and grammar errors, this piece makes a pretty good argument for helping or hastening the end.
Air Florida crash 25 years later, LTBEWR:"It made the NTSB make sure airlines in the deregulation era maintained high safety standards despite financial pressures. It would ruin Air Florida."
