Talk:Indonesian names

message: Many Indonesians are named after their birth order (3rd son, etc.). It would be nice to have a chart for at least either Malay or Javanese. (I had a list at one time, but have no idea where it is now.) kwami 08:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Source 

message: I have two questions about the second paragraph in the section "Arabic names", copied here:
:"Ethnic groups with strong Islamic influence tend to use Islamic names, such as Acehnese, Malay, Minangkabau, Betawi, Sundanese and Bugis. For example, Indonesian badminton athlete Taufik Hidayat has an Arabic name. Mohammad Hatta is also an Arabic name."
I thought this article was about Indonesian personal names (first, last, etc.). Unless I have misunderstood it, the first sentence in this paragraph seems to be about names of ethnic groups. Does this sentence belong in the article? 
Also, if it does belong in the article and in this place, and I have not misunderstood the sentence, then the next sentence ("For example,...") does not seem to be an example of it. CorinneSD (talk) 22:26, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:The Marble Index

message: Since the (relatively unknown) Candidan rock band (The Marble Index (band)) took its name from the Nico album (The Marble Index (album)), I think that the page "The Marble Index" should be about the album, with a disambiguation note on top, not a fork page.

Talk:Ladder paradox

message: In the article, it all looks like both referential frames are cancelling each other's length contraction. It should be explained why/how the presented solution does not bring (back) in the next paradox: Michealson's experiment and findings that light doesn't act according to Galilean/Newtonian laws.
Aren't special relativity and general relativity theories? We are trying to build new tools to observe cosmologic gravitational waves to try to prove or discard those theories, isn't what a Wikipedia article is supposed to state? That this paradox exists only in the case those theories were proved to be true, and have yet to be? Instead what do I read?... I am disappointed. Even more so because it reflects more the state of mind of (some, not all) scientists than the spirit of the Wikipedia project and community.

Since when did the Texas Sesquicentennial celebrate NASA's 25th anniversary? Since UH Collegian said so? Here's a clue: sesqui means 3/2s, and centennial means 100 years.

Yes, 'Walbiri' is a spelling that has been used for 'Warlpiri', the latter being how it's spelled in the orthography in use by the speakers (and a more accurate phonemic representation than 'Walbiri').

I see that someone is now asking for verification. I'm afraid I can't properly give any. I translated from an article in the Catalan Wikipedia back in the days when our verification standards were much looser. I ran it past a friend who is native Catalan and very much a scholar of Catalan culture (I've seen his personal library, it's worthy of a professor) and who said that it largely rang true. He is the one who told me that a lot of this could be found in the writings of Joan Amades. So that would be where to look if someone wants to build a citation apparatus. - Jmabel | Talk 06:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Homeopathy/Archive 3

message: The first paragraph of the The Theory of Infinitesimals section contains the following sentence: "Higher dilutions are generally considered stronger. This is in contrast to conventional medicine and biochemistry, which hold that the effects of a substance are always due to its physical and biochemical activity in the patient's body, and therefore that generally the more of an active ingredient is present in a drug, the more effect (whether positive, negative, or both) it will have."  If the effect of a substance is not due to its activity IN the body, what is the alternative? Its activity OUT of the body? Its activity in someone else's body?
