message: Can anyone provide a source for a PGmc diphthong iu? I've looked at the admittedly somewhat old and very cursory "Germanisch-deutsche Sprachgeschichte im Ueberblick" as well as Salmons "A History of German" and I find no mention of this diphthong in Proto-Germanic, although it seems to be omnipresent in Wiktionary's reconstructions of PGmc words. Schweikle does show a diphthong iu developing later in Gothic and Old High German, and Salmons mentions a change in Old High German from PGmc *eu to *io/*iu (depending on environment) in Old High German. Is there a source that discusses this?--Ermenrich (talk) 15:09, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Rock Ridge

message: As I understand it, Unix filesystems don't specify "ASCII", or any other encoding.  The '/' character, and probably the '\0' character are disallowed, but any other filename is just a sequence of bytes, to the kernel.  This means you can declare that your system uses UTF-8 for filenames, as long as all your programs agree on this.  Is my understanding correct?
So what does "almost any ASCII character" mean?  Any but '/' and '\0', which means UTF-8 is safe on ISO-9660?  Or are there other exceptions, which force ASCII-only?
When I read this article, I'm more interested in what Unix features it doesn't support, not what features it has that ISO-9660 doesn't.  So here's my attempt at a list:
* filenames limited to ASCII (does it?)
* no hard links (correct?)
(Please correct me if I'm wrong or incomplete anywhere.)
:The only bytes disallowed in filenames are '\0' and '/', and it is suggested that you create your Rock Ridge structures in UTF-8, although it is not required.
:Hard links are supported even in pure ISO 9660. This allows you to create images that look like they are bigger than they actually are. You can try this using mkisofs, just create an image of a directory with hardlinked files inside.
:--Miles July 1, 2005 16:21 (UTC)
:POSIX-compliant filesystems, of which Rock Ridge is one, allow all byte values except 0x00 (null, the string terminator) and 0x2F (slash, the directory separator), though the OS may impose additional constraints, and using control characters in filenames is a bad idea in general. So all of the ISO-8859-* and EUC-* encodings are safe, and UTF-8 is so too. In fact, UTF-8 was invented because neither UTF-16 (with its arbitrary byte values) nor the obsolete UTF-1 (which can have 0x2F in its multibyte sequences) were POSIX-safe. Rock Ridge, then, supports Unicode by way of UTF-8, the only disadvantage being that the use of UTF-8 encoded characters can cut down the number of maximum characters for the filename (by a factor of three if the name is comprised entirely of characters above U+0800). --46.117.126.205 (talk) 20:44, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

message: There is a list of additional "Session musicians" in this article that contains some fairly famous names like Herbie Mann, David Newman, Joe Farrell, etc. who are otherwise never(?) credited as playing on this AWB album.   These are all musicians who apparently played at the 1977 The Atlantic Family Live at Montreux recordings and therefore may have played on the one AWB bonus track ("Pick up the Pieces") taken from that 1977 live recording.

thread_title: Evolution of name?

message: The text of "blind man's bluff" vs "blind man's buff" has changed a number of times recently, beginning with this guy who called buff a typo, then my reversion back to buff because it wasn't a typo, then this change to bluff, then my bringing consistency to bluff since there is a Wisegeek quote using "bluff", then there's this. 
I don't care which version we use, but shouldn't we be consistent across the uses? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:55, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like one of those US vs UK spelling debates in mild disguise. Currently it appears that the article is using "bluff" in all three instances. The argument could be made that 'buff' is the more original or more correct variation, but since both are correct and bluff is used by this article's source, I'd like to see that consistency stick. Personally, I also think it sounds better, but that's me. Scoundr3l (talk) 01:22, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I recall reading an American children's book when I was a kid that referenced "blind man's buff". I don't think it's a crossing-the-pond issue. I think the more contemporary version is "bluff" perhaps as an artifact of misuse over time. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Sosthenes

message: Is this entry necessary for a general interest encyclopaedia? Just because Easton's public domain 1800s Christian encyclopaedia has thousands of entries doesn't mean that this encyclopaedia needs to do so. If we followed this kind of micro-entry format, we'd end up with thousands of tiny entries for Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc. I totally agree that Wikipedia needs many comprehensive articles on religion, but Wikipedia is not meant to be a religious dictionary or encyclopaedia. All I am asking is that we make sure that our entries are comprehensive, and not unnecessarily fractured into micro-entries. Sub-entries should only be created when there is a compelling need to do so. RK
Wikipedia is an excellent source of "information" and in some of the instances I have used it for, "knowledge". However, how can anyone objectively determine how much information is too much information on a given subject? Only the person seeking that information can decide that.  FE.
What larger article should "Sosthenes" go into? Not "Acts", not "Corinthians", not "Paul". Sosthenes is a discrete historical figure. Even if he is deemed to be fictional, there are plenty of articles on minor literary characters from books read by far fewer people. matturn 03:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

warrant from the darkness of antiquity, maintain that the God had more
sons, that thence came more denominations of people, the Marsians,
Gambrians, Suevians, and Vandalians, and that these are the names
truly genuine and original. For the rest, they affirm Germany to ...

Ingaeuones
It was noticed long ago that Ingaeuones is one of the tribal names present in more than one group: its Indo-European prototype, enghaiw-, is identical to the one of the Achaeans, nghaiw-. This suggests that the form Ingaeuones was original, and Inguaeones - modified by folk etymology.

Talk:Publius Cornelius Scipio (consul 218 BC)

message: While reading this page, I found that Sipio Africanus Major - the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio also got a son named P. Cornelius Scipio. (Accroding to the Scipio-Paullus-Gracchus family tree) This P. Cornelius Scipio who was  praetor in 174 BC, is the adoptive father of Scipio Aemilianus Africanus.
But in this page, the editor may have mess up this two Sipio Africanus Major. So we found that Sipio Africanus Major - who was died in battle at 211 BC, was elected praetor in 174 BC. He was the father of Scipio Africanus Major, was also the son of Scipio Africanus Major.
Can anyone tell me what the hell it is?
The article is stylistically wrong. Romans weren't referred to as "T. Semprinus Longus", but rather with the full "Titus Sempronius Longus". Colleague is hardly an appropriate term for a Roman general. Scipii is grammatically wrong, the plural should be Scipiones. Also, "theater" of operations is a modern military term, and does not well suit the tone of the article.
