What is a Legal term of Art?
A term of art is a precise word or phrase used by professionals in a certain subject area.
http://www.ll.georgetown.edu/tutorials/definitions/term_art.html
The expression "Legal Term of Art," therefore, means a term used by attorneys in certain areas. Thus, for example, the term "reliance" is used to express actions taken based on an "assurance" in a "contract." Reliance is not stated as "this thing I did because some guy promised me he would pay me if I did X."
The term "Detainee" fits into this category, as it defines a group of individuals who are presently being incarcerated in GITMO. They are afforded protections under the Detainee Protection Act of 2005:
The choice of verbage is not happenstance. The persons who fall under this category meet a very special definition under the law. They are not "prisoners," because they are not American Citizens, nor are the Prisoner of War. Their status is, instead, as "detainees" of the Department of Defense. Thus, they are under military detention, not afforded the status of military prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention as irregular combatants, and the term applies solely to persons meeting this definition as a class.
I can only hope this fully, and completely, explains the legal term of art "Detainee."

Much Appreciated. First time I have ever started an article, and a stumble on the way is to be expected. Thanks for picking me up. Cheers.Yachtsman1 (talk) 08:52, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

No problems, i've also had a poke at Honor Bound to Defend Freedom so its a bit better. (Hypnosadist) 04:32, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
That's good, I saw it. I also saw your statement on the Auschwitz piece that I deleted. It was just too over the top. No matter your political persuasion, I really doubt the Auschwitz slogan inspired the American leadership at the time to adopt the motto. Yachtsman1 (talk) 04:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Geo swan is a good lad, he can be over the top some times (like this time), but he knows a hell of a lot on gitmo. (Hypnosadist) 04:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
He can be a bit overzealous in his convictions, which is why we butt heads, but he writes some good articles when he does so in a neutral manner and uses solid sources. Yachtsman1 (talk) 04:56, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Loyola
Thank you sooooooo much for your help on the article. I feel like I am the only person who gives two hoots about Loyola's page. I've made some improvements, (some mistakes as well), bit its a shame that the article is so poor. Georgetown's article is worlds away from ours. Anywho, I'm only a sophomore undergrad, but I do my best. 144.126.196.135 (talk) 16:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
That's alright, I'll be helping from here on out. I would be interested in any materials that can be used to improve it, aside from the website. Talk to the Jesuits about early history.Yachtsman1 (talk) 23:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I've been doing so so with a few priests. There are a few books in the library, nothing too great. Right now I'm just looking at the FA articles from templates, and organization.Interzil (talk) 06:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Loyola Alum
For the Loyola Alumni Section. That part on Mark Bowden at the end should be taken out. Not just because it is awkward, but there is already one military-fiction writer in the blurb, having two is just overkill. Also, most schools have a "featured" alumni on each page with a picture of them (ie Bill Clinton on the G-town page). We should figure out someone to put up on it. I was thinking Michael D. Griffin, but he only received a MA from Sellinger.Interzil (talk) 15:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- Interzil, Loyola is, first and foremost, a liberal arts college, and it creates authors. In this case, the most famous living alums of the college are authors, both of whom are well known. The fact they both write about the military is entirely irrelevant to their accomplishments. Further, Black Hawk Down is a documentary piece about the events in Mog, not fiction as you assert, and Bowden wrote this as a journalist. Therefore, I do not concur. As for photos, I will see what I can do.Yachtsman1 (talk) 22:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- As of the 2008-2013 strategic plan, Loyola is a comprehensive university, which is not exactly a liberal arts college. There are many undergrads and postgrads who are prominent figures of society. Your claims regarding Clancy and Bowden make sense, however, the article blurb written under the Alumni section talks about Loyola having government, religious, and business leaders. Michael D. Griffin is quite possibly more important than any of those two authors, and should receive recognition for it. The main article is Loyola College in Maryland Alumni, if you would like to focus on both of the authors on this page, do so. However, writting an exert on a 'well-rounded' school such as Loyola deserves diversity.Interzil (talk) 16:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- Also, John Hall never graduated from Loyola. He dropped out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Interzil (talk • contribs) 16:46, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- John Hall dropped out of Notre Dame to my understanding, and graduated from Loyola. As for Loyola being a "comprehensive university", it has two schools, one for business, the other for liberal arts, and the liberal arts core is required of all students. It is VERY MUCH a traditional, Jesuit college in that respect, and its notable alumni are heavily influenced as a result. Saying a university is "comprehensive" is fine and good, but a "comprehensive university" normally means separate schools at the undergraduate and graduate level (School of Medicine, School of law, School of Nursing, School of Education, etc.) equalling more than two. Loyola has not attained this distinction to date, and is listed as a "Master's University as a result", though that appears the direction my alma mater is headed. As for the "diversity" of alumni, add Griffin if you like. Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:45, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Incivility
You have unfairly accused me of vandalism three times without any basis, [1][2][3] and after being told quite explicitly that the edit is not vandalism [4][5][6]. I have not breached Wikipedia:General sanctions nor I am under any editing restriction with regard to The Troubles.
Your uncivil and groundless personal attacks are in contravention of wikipedia policy. Harrymph (talk) 11:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

The Burning of Cork City
A Saying for Consideration
An rud a théann i bhfad,téann sé i bhfuaire.
Meaning - What drags on grows cold.
I am speedy closing the AFD you started. Speedy deletions do not go to AFD. Articles tagged for speedy deletion go to a separate place where admins there look at them and decide whether it meets the certain criteria (in this case, A7) or does not. If it does not, then possibly AFD is in order. If the speedy is declined, then I would renominate the article for AFD but following the guidelines set forth in the articles for deletion guidelines. Thank you, MuZemike (talk) 07:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. I'll know for next time.Yachtsman1 (talk) 07:53, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism
It is a kind of attack that blocking will not help. A website has a link to that page and random users visiting that site will click on the link and save the page. These are the only edits they will ever make and they are from such a wide range of ip address that blocking will not stop it. If it continues I will request page protection. Thanks for the heads up.

You are simply not going to believe this.[8]

- Don't let it get to you. I'm having a hard time not believing that this editor isn't engaging in a wee bit of "trolling", it all seems a little over the top in my opinion. There is no doubt whatsoever in my opinion that the material being posted by the editor in question was completely unacceptable according to policy, subsequently I've added the article to my watch list (as I'm sure a few others have as well) and I'll continue to monitor it. Keep in mind that when material is posted as far removed as this stuff was from the policy of the encyclopedia, you can contact an administrator directly at [9]. I can't imagine that there are many administrators that would see the continual reposting of this material (after warnings) as anything more than an act of straight vandalism. And of course always remember, try not to feed the trolls! lol I'd also like to suggest that although the editor in question may have technically been guilty of "edit warring", a more accurate 'charge' under these circumstances in my opinion, is a violation of the encyclopedia's policy against non-neutral point of view contributions. Should they choose to continue to post this material in its present form, after the expiration of the block currently in place, they should be systematically warned (1-4) that they are violating non-npov and barring that, reported to AIV as vandals. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 16:02, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

re: vandalism???
You've reverted my edits to the CCP hf page.
I had removed Charles Dane from the company staff listing: he has not worked for CCP in quite a while, and that position no longer exists.
I added that CCP announced a partnership with Atari to publish EVE. Reference: http://www.ccpgames.com/press/press_releases.asp?pressReleaseID=50. I was in the process of adding this reference in when I discovered your reversion.
I also edited that Quafe was a relabeling of a popular Icelandic soft drink, Orka.
Please realize that not everyone who adds or removes content to a page is doing so in a nefarious way. I fail to see how my content additions and one subtraction equates to vandalism. Please revert my edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.227.161.168 (talk) 21:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- You can revert your own edits if you like, but understand that this is an encyclopedia. Thus, if you want to make a statement, it has to be supported. Therefore if the softdrink is a "repackaging", provide a cite in support. Your other edit was incomplete, but saved. I will revert these types of edits to ensure a clean-up of the article. In the future, use the preview feature to make edits to avoid this.Yachtsman1 (talk) 21:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Why????
You said "The UK is a better description". Why are people like Noel and Liam of Oasis from Manchester (England) included in Category:English people of Irish descent, NOT Category:British people of Irish descent? Why are people like John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles from Liverpool (England) included in Category:British people of Irish descent? BOTH are English people! I don't think I'm gonna do a vandalism. I only did the best of an intension. Being blocked is absolutely wrong. --211.15.48.50 (talk) 03:05, 17 November 2008 (UT)
- When did I ever block you? And maybe they are confused. They are described as "British", not "English". I am a "British National" of "Irish descent" myself. Yachtsman1 (talk) 03:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, you don't say "you will be blocked", it's another person. By the way, are Gallagher brothers English and Lennon and McCartney British, not English? I don't understand it! Why are Lennon and McCartney British people of Irish descent, not English people of Irish descent although their article is included in Category:English singer-songwriters, not Category:British singer-songwriters? Are they from Liverpool of UK's ENGLAND? Are Gallagher brothers from Manchester of UK ENGLAND? Why is all I do wrong? I cannot accept it. --211.15.48.50 (talk) 03:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I posted the need for some changes in the controversy section. The article doesn't meet standards and I'm working on it. Is there a problem?166.217.98.35 (talk) 05:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- I changed it because of the "stiiiiil" descriptor.[10] This is common by editors who disagree with others philosophies. If this is a proper title, give a cite and it's good. Hope that helps.Yachtsman1 (talk) 05:39, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
McCain
Why did you revert my edits? McCain Foods Limited is a billion-dollar multinational business and the second biggest private company in Canada - clearly notable, and best known as simply "McCain". Secondly, the protection notice is obviously wrong otherwise how could I edit it? It's editors like you who are ruining Wikipedia. -81.139.76.64 (talk) 07:07, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- The page is not protected - I removed the template because it's not protected - see the talk page. I didn't create a redirect, I change it to use an additional more specific template to make navigation easier. Please WP:AGF, and stop recent changes patrolling until you know how to be both civil and understand how Wikipedia works. -81.139.76.64 (talk) 07:13, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
