Comments:

  • Lots could be added to this, including the history of commentating (after-the-fact in newspapers and live on radio, TV and now the Internet), how it's done (especially when there are more than one commentators) and famous quotes (not just gaffes). violet/riga (t) 09:22, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Comments:

  • Information on how voters do or can educate themselves before elections. Could include info on debates and forums and how the news media and other organizations help or hinder voter education. Timely in the USA. Maurreen 22:00, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • I'm concerned that "the USA" would be the primary focus of this article. Why not write a stub for now? Shorne 00:01, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I understand your concern, but I don't see how writing a stub could help make it less U.S.-centric. Maurreen 07:48, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I agree with Maurreen. But I think that this will possibly be an excellent article, and there are definitely other people from other countries who have lived abroad etc who could help here. Also, I think that there might be a way of generalizing this so that it is useful to everyone, and yet is not useless. Great idea!--Jpittman 19:09, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Want to learn a technique to increase voter participation? Look at Brazil. Voting is mandatory. People are required to take part in the idiotic ritual of choosing between Siamese twins like Bush and Kerry. Shorne 20:36, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Personally, I don't understand why "it might be U.S.-centric" is even relevant to whether or not it should be an article. But I still don't like it as a collaboration candidate. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 01:49, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Comments:

  • A nuclear protest song that was translated into English. It could use some more information. Lint Roll 02:00, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • For what it's worth, you have my support. I think the song should have some history attatched to it. -Litefantastic 14:52, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Seems a bit obscure for COTW. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 00:38, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • I remember this song. I always thought that Nena was some kind of weird activist (thinking that a government can actually mistake red balloons as some kind of enemy threat?!). Anyways, I always thought "Rock Me Amadeus", "Puttin' On The Ritz", and all those other U.S. 80's songs were cheesy. The only real decent 80's song was "867-5309", that one actually got people to do something. Albeit, it was crank calls rather than protesting nuclear weapons. TrollQueen 06:49, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Comments:

  • Why isn't this an article?? I couldn't decide between the two of these but they're both desperately worthy of attention. Sarge Baldy 10:54, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)
  • Note: There is an article on music of Russia which should be linked to and summarized here. Tuf-Kat 07:58, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Just look at the cultural sites of Moscow. They are easily on par with New York City: Bolshoi, Red Square, all those cathedrals, the fortified monasteries, even the cemeteries and that convent where the czars put their former wives. Ancheta Wis 10:47, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • I went to this article because of a question at the reference desk and was dissapointed with what I found :-( No history, no culture, no information on knots, weaves etc.We can do better than that. Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 15:53, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • It would be fairly easy for many people to contribute to this one. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 21:24, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • I totally agree with th previous 2 statements.
  • I really think this is a big topic that a lot of people know about, and it deserves more attention. I tried to get it started at first, but it still hasn't caught on. Without some attention it could stay this way for a very, very long time. --Leonus 03:32, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
