Talk:Along Came Polly

message: Having just watched Along Came Polly, I'm not sure he is an actuary.  Certainly the word is not used in the movie (he is referred to as a 'risk assesment expert').

Talk:Czapka

message: That's interesting: the Turkish word for hat is şapka! Does anyone know about the etymology of the word? Is the origin polish or turkish? --Katpatuka (msg)
It is actually French: :fr:Chapeau. `'mikka (t) 23:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, chapeau is a false friend, as it's a hat, while czapka is a cap. Aleksander Brückner's Słownik etymologiczny języka polskiego lists czapka as local, ancient Slavic, repeats itself in this or that form in all Slavic speaches and gives the examples of Russian shapka and shapoval (whatever that is). Andrzej Bańkowski lists more data: first mentioned as a proper name in 1384; less common version czapica (15th cent.); diminutive of Polish czapa, itself rendered from Old-Slavic čěpa, and from Indo-European *kēup-ā. Some authors wrongly assumed a borrowing of old French chape (cape, a covering), in turn falsely associated with Greek cappa, name of the letter. Old Russian (14th century) šapka might possibly be a borrowing from old Polish (š- replaced the - by then hardened in Polish - č-, which in Russian was soft). So no, no foreign influence whatsoever. //Halibutt 00:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Dominant gene

message: Isn't it the allele, not the gene, that's dominant. So this article should be titled, "Dominant Allele" and be redirected from anyone searching for "dominant gene".
: I thought alleles were two pairs of genes that controled the same characteristic? Wouldn't that make alleles = genes? I don't know this is all way over my head. --Banana04131 17:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Er... this is confusing... I think alleles are factors that control the trait for a certain gene. The gene itself is not dominant; they are units of heredity. Perhaps move to Dominant trait? I guess then we also have to move Recessive gene if this article is moved. AndyZ 21:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Genes are section of DNA coding for one character. Alleles represent the phenotypic possibilities for the gene. Let me give a Medelian exemple to be more clear. The gene of the flower's color have two possible alleles: the white allele, wich is recessive, and the purple one, wich is dominant. So, I will agree with the idea that this article should be titled "Dominant Allele".
Something is missing in the sentence "Incomplete dominance occurs when certain of the recessive gene appears within the phenotype of the organism, causing a blend in between both the dominant and recessive gene.", or at least it could be expressed a more clearly.

Is there any reference to indicate that "the day of Uttarayana" is the day Aryans entered India? I ask because the entire Aryan invasion theory is now contested. If ancient Hindu literature does claim that Aryans came from outside (on Uttarayana day), I would like to know the reference.
Or is this just a prevailing belief with no documented reference?

The east side is Portland St, the south Parker St and the west Mosley St (one could even argue that Piccadilly Gardens is not a street name at all).

replies: text:  You're still counting ghosthits.  Restricting it to 1990 (as you did), it not nearly as lopsided. Pedro I/Peter I = 14 : 5, Pedro II/Peter II = 11: 8, P3 = 5:0.   I don't consider that overwhelming, particularly when you examine the small selection that comes up in that narrow window, e.g. nativist spellings in specialist works, spelling-focused numismatics, cheaply-translated volumes, and some books that don't have the terms at all! (e.g. this showed up for Pedro II, this, this, this and this showed up as hits for Pedro I. I dare you to find the word "Pedro" or "Portugal" in them.), etc. So take such numbers with caution.  Googlebooks searches can occasionally be instructive, but also quite misleading, particularly on narrow edges. One specialist work or a coin auction catalog should hardly be the determining factor when compared to, say, generalist works of reference like Britannica.  At best, it is unclear. And lack of clarity defaults to Peter by WP:SOVEREIGN. Walrasiad (talk) 00:09, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
