Talk:Rasam (dish)

message: I inserted another name (Saaru) for the Tamil part of the name list. Although the word 'rasam' is widely used in colloquial Tamil, the pure word 'Saaru' had been used in age old Tamil text books denoting the dish under question. It is noticeable that the word 'Rasam' came from Sanskrit and the word 'saaru' is quite native to the language. I couldn't find any online content for the reference but the word 'saaru' is prefered even in Tamil Nadu textbooks for school children. --117.97.159.0 (talk) 19:51, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt

message: -  I note that neutrality is disputed in the case of the 'memorability'  of the Covent Garden Tristan of 1962.  I saw the production.   After fifty years I can't be sure whether or not it was the first Covent Garden appearance of Birgit Nilsson and Wolfgang Windgassen,  the leading pairing of their day, and of quite a few other days, in the work at Covent Garden,but if it was, and it probably was, then that alone would have been memorable.    It was probably Schmidt-Isserstedt's own Covent Garden debut too.   I have to confess it is Nilsson I remember rather than the conducting.  But there is certainly a case for closing the dispute and reinstating the word memorable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Delahays (talk • contribs) 10:44, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Talk:Sanjeev Kapoor

message: There should be a section on Sanjeev's dedication to Lord Krishna. Sanjeev makes his devotion to Lord Krishna very clear at the beginning of each show. While in other biographies religion may be considered a minor detail, Sanjeev makes it a center point of his cooking shows. That is why he said he became a vegeterian. Also his decision in late 2006 to completely go hairless (when he shaved his moustache and hair and waxed his eyebrows) made him a sensation in India. Thus I feel it deserves its own section  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.240.173 (talk) 04:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

: hi, are you sure that "Saang" is as common. Swang seems to get twice as many hits in English India/dance books. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:32, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not, but it's clearly common enough.  Remember that WP:COMMONNAME is not one of the WP:CRITERIA at all; it's a default choice to  the actual criteria.  Saang fits not only COMMONNAME's "Use commonly recognizable names", it also fits all the real criteria, while Swang (dance drama) is a poor choice under the WP:CONCISE criterion – it's unnecessary disambiguation we can avoid for something that doesn't have a single overwhelmingly common name in English (though I guess it depends on just how much more common you want something to be before you insist on it as a WP:COMMONNAME matter). COMMONNAME also says "Wikipedia generally prefers the name that is most commonly used" – this is not a requirement to always use it, especally when there are good reasons not to (and, yes, COMMONNAME's wording has softened over time, just in the last couple of years, likely as a result of too many obsessive applications of it as if it were not only among the actual criteria but chief among them, which is the opposite of the actual truth and intent). A ×2 casual Google test doesn't, in my view, qualify as sufficient reason, given the awkwardness of "Swang (dance drama)", which is basically a descriptive disambiguation combined with a parenthetical one, and is something no one would actually search for in a zillion years.  I'm not opposed to an RM discussion about it, but would !vote on these bases to keep it at the present title (unless there's something else notable named Saang about which we need an article, in which case there could be a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC issue to wrestle with).  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  18:18, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Varujan Vosganian

message: His nomination quickly ran into trouble as questions surfaced about his past as a Securitate informer.
1. There are no questions about Varujan Vosganian past as a Securitate informer. It's just an allegation printed in two newspapers; an allegation that is lacking, not only any sort of proof, but also any argument to make it plausible. 
2. Also, there is no reason to believe, or even to state it as a fact, that this alleged episode in Vosganian's biography had any kind of bearing of the troubles with his nomination in EC.
3. Considering the precise moment a former high ranking Securitate member made the so called disclosure (during a high audience broadcast) about the alleged membership of Vosganian in the Securitate it is highly likely this was made simply to prevent his nomination as a EU comissioner for Romania. Once this "objective" was effectively torpedoed by the slandering statements the matter was quickly overlooked.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.81.11.229 (talk) 20:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I am unsure how being economically liberal is in contrast with being a right-wing conservative. There are many right-wing conservatives who preach economically liberal policies. I propose we just leave the sentence as "Vosganian's political views can be characterised as right-wing conservative."

replies: text: Asides from the grammar, this is an interesting point of which country - India or Pakistan - should tandoori masala be attributed to as Kundan Lal Gujral invented the tandoori chicken cooking style and corresponding tandoori masala in Peshawar (which is in modern-day Pakistan but was still a part of India in the 1920s), but the global fame arose via his restaurant in Delhi. Globally recipes using tandoori masala such as butter chicken are more prominently related back to Indian cuisine; however, given various regional and historical influences, perhaps tandoori masala can be more broadly attributed to South Asia as well and not just India.

Can I suggest that this version of the name is added to this and other relevant articles (e.g. Thirteenth Dynasty of Egypt, List of Egyptian pyramids), and a redirect page for it (to this article) be created? The latter is beyond my current Wiki-fu (and time), and it would be better if one person with the time, expertise and subject knowledge dealt with all these tasks rather than they be done piecemeal with inevitable lacunae.
