What should be the scope of the article "Crusades"?
- Option A: The article should focus on the papally sanctioned anti-Muslim military campaigns launched for the Holy Land between 1095 and 1291, and only briefly discuss the connections between these "numbered Crusades" and other papally endorsed campaigns that formed part of the widercrusading movement.
- Option B: The article should cover all papally sanctioned military campaigns, including those treated in separate articles, such as theAlbigensian Crusades, theIberian Crusades, and theNorthern Crusades.
- Option C: The article should cover both the Crusades for the Holy Land and, in brief, other campaigns authorised by papal indulgence, but as distinct topics.
I did a rough read of the talk page discussion above and believe we have consensus to say that 1) matcha can trace its root ultimately to
ChinaChinese powdered tea, and 2) the current form of matcha, which is the primary subject of this article, originated in Japan. I propose we use the following phrasing in the second paragraphas suggested byUser:薔薇騎士団:Matcha traces its origins to China but was developed into its current form in Japan.Matcha originated from Chinese powdered tea and evolved into its current form in Japan.Northern Moonlight 03:12, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Military–industrial complex
Which should we use: A or B?
A: The speech was authored byRalph E. Williams andMalcolm Moos and was foreshadowed by a passage in the 1954 bookPower Through Purpose coauthored by Moos. The degree to which Eisenhower and his brotherMilton shaped the speech is unclear from surviving documents. Planning commenced in early 1959; however, the earliest archival evidence of a military-industrial complex theme is a late-1960 memo by Williams that includes the phrasewar based industrial complex. A wide range of interpretations have been made of the speech's meaning. Looking back in 1985, Williams wrote that he was "astonished" at the attention given to themilitary-industrial complexsound bite, saying that it "has been distorted beyond recognition ... it became red meat for the media".[1]
B: The phrase was thought to have been "war-based" industrial complex before becoming "military", a claim passed on only by oral history.[2]:111Geoffrey Perret, in his biography of Eisenhower, claims that in one draft of the speech, the phrase was "military–industrial–congressional complex", indicating the role that the United States Congress plays in the propagation of the military industry, but the word "congressional" was dropped from the final version.[3]James Ledbetter calls this a "stubborn misconception" not supported by any evidence.[4] The actual authors of the speech were Eisenhower's speechwritersRalph E. Williams andMalcolm Moos.[5]Uhoj (talk) 20:40, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
