Template talk:Countries' greatest people TV series and media polls

message: I believe this template needs to be significantly reworked for the following reasons:
#This is the English Wikipedia. We can't assume that our readers can read languages other than English. Identifying the German edition only as Unsere Besten only helps if you know what language that is. (In fact, even if one did know it was German, how could one be sure it wasn't the edition from Austria, Switzerland, or Liechtenstein?)
#Even more so, we can't assume that our readers can read alphabets other than the Latin alphabet. How many English Wikipedia users can understand what Великите българи is supposed to be? Even those who can figure out that Velikite Balgari is the Bulgarian edition may well be fazed by the title when rendered in the Cyrillic alphabet.
#There is no reason I can think of to organize the template chronologically by airdate. There is no obvious chronological development from one edition to the next, because the persons eligible for each list are almost 100% different from country to country. The place to identify the dates of the various editions all together should be in Greatest Britons spin-offs, where, ironically, they don't appear now. Instead, they appear only in hidden text, where they don't do readers any good. Alphabetical order would make more sense here.
I'm going to add the airdates to Greatest Britons spin-offs first, and if there is no objection, I'm going to reorder the template to (a) be alphabetical by country and (b) identify the countries by English names before the titles, which will be rendered only in the Latin alphabet. (In other words, "Unsere Besten" will be replaced by "Germany: Unsere Besten".) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:19, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Mt. Scott-Arleta, Portland, Oregon

message: What is the threshold of notability for an article?  I will nominate this article for deletion unless someone can justify its existence.  May I suggest creating an artice about Mount Scott, and include this community as a section of that article?  Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 07:11, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Please read WP:NOTE. See Boring Lava Field for information about Mount Scott. (Why not start a separate article about the mountain and get rid of that redlink?) Usually neighborhoods and settlements have articles separate from the mountains after which they may be named. Although the existence of one article does not justify the existence of another (per WP:OTHERSTUFF), note that there are dozens of articles in  and you'll probably have a difficult time taking this to AfD since neighborhoods of major cities are usually considered notable. You may have to do a mass listing. I think you'd do better to research the history of the neighborhood. Let me know if you need assistance. For example, I own a book that states: "Arleta is part of Portland. It was named for Arleta Potter, daughter of T. B. Potter of the Potter-Chapin Realty Company, which put the addition on the market. Arleta post office was established February 2, 1904, and operated, later as a Portland substation, until 1965." In other words, you could send mail addressed to "Arleta, Oregon" until 1965. Oh, you may also want to read about stubs. Cheers, Katr67 (talk) 08:31, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Tanintharyi Region

message: I cannot find the Tanah Sari mention - kindly please reference it.
A glance through the Malay Annals does not produce much results, nor this claim of a Kedah connection. The Kedah claim is highly shaky, as Thailand was a major power concerning those parts - there are more records of Thai invasions into the South than of Malay kingdoms reaching north, even after they embraced Islam.
I apologize if this turns out to be factually correct, but there does seem to be a glacial-paced but consistent effort in revising Burma's supposed links with Islam both on Wikipedia and elsewhere - like highlighting supposed mistreatment of Muslims in pre-Colonial Burma and falsifying (Islamisizing) the etymology - like Ngaraman Kan (as Raman Khan) and Arakan (as Al Rukun). It is like saying Arabia got its name from the Chinese (A-la-bo) and the locals (actually the Greeks gave the name) corrupted the name into Arabia. 
The name Tanah Sari is an odd Malay name too.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.1.130 (talk) 15:34, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
