thread_title:  Contradictions 

message: The sources I read talked about how previously, there wasn't a real collective Amazigh consciousness since they're all individual tribes, but their marginalization after the 19th century revival of the "berber" concept led to a stronger sense of Amazigh collective identity. What I couldn't find is if "Amazigh" is a completely modern term coined in response to this consciousness, or if it was in use earlier, and in either case, around what time was it coined? Would love it if anyone has information on that they could add.
Relatedly, I left this previously existing sentence in the article: "Etymologically, the name "Amazigh" may be related to the well attested "aze" (strong), "Tizzit" (braver) or "jeghegh" to be brave/courageous." However, the citation is broken/unclear so I am unable to confirm this. Maybe someone can find a better source / add clarity?  Blueshiftofdeath (talk) 06:05, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There was more written about this in the main Berbers page, so I moved that over to this page. A lot of this text was sketchily cited or maybe is original research, so more editing is probably needed. Blueshiftofdeath (talk) 13:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  This looks like a folk-etymology, or even worse, a pseudo-etymological concoction. Since the citation only attests the existence of these three roots, I will remove it as WP:OR. –Austronesier (talk) 20:57, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Worawongsathirat

message: Where does 11 November 1548 come from? Assuming that the death date given in the King Yotfa article (10 June 1548) is correct--which may not be; see the talk page at Yotfa--and that Worawongsathirat ruled only for 42 days, then Worawongsathirat must have died on 22 July 1548.
There's a larger issue. I'm not sure that any of the dates are reliable! Per (Harvey 1925: 343), the Luang Prasert chronicle--which is considered more accurate than other Siamese chronicles--says Worawongsathirat's successor Maha Chakkraphat came to power in 1547. Other Siamese chronicles say Maha Chakkraphat came to power in 1529. Luang Prasert's date of 1547 is inline with when the Burmese chronicles say the first invasion took place, and kings Yotfa and Worawongsathirat were already dead in 1547. Anyway, we need a reliable source re: 11 November 1548. Hybernator (talk) 18:06, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Veit Bach

message: This article states that Veit Bach died around 1619. However, the second reference ("V is for Veit Bach") is very specific that the Veit who died in 1619 is a completely different Veit, in the very first sentence: "Veit Bach (d. before 1578) was Johann Sebastian Bach's great-great-grandfather and the founder of the Bachs as a musical dynasty; he is often confused with another Veit (d 1619) of whom little is known and who may have been a son or nephew." I think I'll edit the article right now in order to make it somewhat congruent with the listed references. Tsuka (talk) 22:53, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That BBC article is simplifying things. Almost all other sources call Vitus/Veit Bach (the Younger, died 1619 in Wechmar) JSB's great-great-grandfather; Veit Bach the Elder (died before 1578) was his father. Christoph Wolff developed the theory that Veit the Younger is a son or brother or nephew of Veit the Elder, and not the father of Johannes (1550–1626), but Veit the Elder is. This theory is not universal, and all Wikipedia articles concerned with the Bach family, inlcuding the German one, take a different position. I'm going to revert the article to the previous, consistent version. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:09, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Then should the BBC source not be removed? This article does not list any sources stating Veit Bach died around 1619. It does, however, list a source stating he died before 1578. An article ought to be congruent with its sources, surely? So either the article ought to say 1578, or the sources should be changed. As it stands, the article is basically saying, "our sources say he died before 1578, but we think he died 1619 anyway". I presented sources for my edit (the ones in the article itself), but the reversal simply refers to "most people" (who?). Until someone adds some proper sources, I do not see how anyone can object to me adding a "citation needed". Tsuka (talk) 08:03, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Klute (crater)

message: Here is what I could find about the crater's namesake:
:Daniel O. Klute (1921-1964) was a rocket scientist and chemical engineer who worked at Rocketdyne. In 1954 he was listed as assistant to the Chief Engineer, Liquid Rocket Division. In 1962 he was assigned to work on the Saturn F-1 engine, which was having combustion instability problems, and was "largely responsible" for the solution.
The F-1 was used in the Project Apollo moon landings, which is very likely why the crater was named after him. He certainly died at a relatively young age though.— RJH (talk) 22:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The statement in the current article:
The New River originally flowed down the centre of Goswell Road, but is now underground and no trace of it can be seen at the surface.[30

Talk:Shenfield–Southend line

message: "The route was electrified at 25 kV AC overhead in 1979."
Something wrong here - the line was electrified long before this. Certainly before 1973, which was when I first travelled on it. C0pernicus 22:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The statement is perfectly accurate.  What is missing is a statement to say that prior to this it has been electrified at 6.25kV a.c. (1960's) and 1500V d.c. (1950's). Canterberry 12:49, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

text: But now the page is misleading, since you seem happier to imply that electrification happened for the first time in 1979. C0pernicus 10:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless you can provide evidence (i.e. a reference or citation) of the dates for previous electrification, then all we can do is add a statement that it was previously electrified at other voltages.

Talk:Johannes Zumpe

message: Thomas Gray wrote to Rev. William Mason, May 23, 1767, "You will tell me what to do with your Zumpe, which has amused me much here. If you would have it sent down, I had better commit it to its maker, who will tune it and pack it up... The base is not quite of a piece with the treble, and the higher notes are somewhat dry and sticky. The rest discourses very elegant music." (The Works of Thomas Gray, in Prose and Verse. vol. 2, Letters. ed. Edmund Gosse. London: Macmillan & Co. 1884. p.267 - E. F. Rimbault attributes the invention of the English action to William Mason in his entry in British Manufacturing Industries, ed. G. P. Bevan. v11? London: Edward Stanford, p. 124. and the footnote to Gray's letter reads "This I presume alludes to the musical instrument invented by Mason, mentioned in the Walpole and Mason correspondence as the Celestinette. Does Gray call it a Zumpe from the Zampogna, and instrumento pastorale, mentioned by Bonnanni in his Descrizione degli Instrumenti Armonici, 1806, 4to, pp.85, 86. figs. xxvii. xxviii.? but that was a wind instrument. - [Mit.] Was it not rather a noun derived from the sound of the verb zombare, to thump or bang, Mason's instrument being one, the keys of which had to be struck? - [Ed.]") - Mireut 23:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: In German the letter Z is pronounced "ts" and the letter U is pronounced "oo" (unless it has an umlaut "Ü", in which case it sounds like French U, as in "parvenu"; as this sound doesn't exist in English, they substitute a "you" sound).
So in Germany, the name Zumpe would be pronounced "Tsoomper" (the final E sounds more like an English "er", with the "r" mute - not a Scottish "er"!).
Now I don't know what his English customers called him - possibly "Zumpy". But I would imagine that people like JC Bach and Queen Charlotte - Germans who came to England as adults, like Zumpe himself - would have called him "Tsoomper". 176.172.248.225 (talk) 14:05, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
