Why does this page contain the apparently irrelevant sentence:

In Roman mythology, Clementia was the goddess of forgiveness and mercy.

Why (in a related question) does Clementia redirect to this page, instead of simply containing the previous sentence as a stub? -- Jmabel 06:19, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] gift of insult

a gift doesn't have to be for happiness, it can be an intended gift of insult. --空向 02:23, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] another meanings

shouldn't this page at least point to othr possible meanings? typing on wikipedia search box gives this, but I was looking for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiFT but I'm relatively new, so I don't know what's the proper way of dealing with this (Unsigned, 25 April 2005)

I've added the appropriate notice to the top of the article. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:18, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
In Dublin, Ireland the term "Gift" can also mean something that is really good or for example... we beat the other team by 20 points, Gift ! (anon 3 June 2005)
Worth adding to the Wiktionary, but really not relevant for an encyclopedia article on gifts. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:28, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

  • This edit and accusation appears to relate to this edit where I reinstated the removal of a citation. I take the view that removing citations is wrong unless the citation is invalid, or the sourced content is also removed. I invite other editors to decide whether to complete the removal of the affected content, or to reinstate the citation, find a different one, or do something else.

  • The sourced content has been removed. Incidentally your twice working on this change is very suspicious. Why such an insistence on a trivial and tangential bit of information? Do you work for bellaonline or not? rickbender1940 19:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • I do not. Are you the same editor who posted above and removed the citation the first time? Notinasnaid 19:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
