Talk:The X-Files

message: This page is filled with grammatical problems and poor sentence constructions. For example, this sentence...
"Tired of the comedies he had been working on for Walt Disney Pictures,[46] a report that 3.7 million Americans may have been abducted by aliens, the Watergate scandal and the 1970s horror series Kolchak: The Night Stalker, triggered the idea for The X-Files. He wrote the pilot episode in 1992."
...has a bizarrely misplaced modifier, causing the sentence to grammatical say that the alien report, the Watergate scandal and Kolchak were all tired of Disney comedies, not Chris Carter. As a result, that sentence makes NO sense whatsoever. It would be good if a competent, coherent writer with a strong grasp of grammar were to give his whole page a thorough editing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.74.7 (talk) 12:22, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Chinese language/Archive 1

message: :The notion of a "Chinese language" may seem at first to be a fiction. The term "Chinese" is employed for the classical written language known as "wen2 yan2 (文言 "literary language")" which was used by Confucius, as well as the modern standard known as "bai2 hua4 (白話 [白话] "vernacular")". It includes many different spoken variations which may be mutually unintelligible. The spoken language of Beijing is for example very different from Cantonese, the conversational language of Hong Kong.
:Nevertheless, there are good reasons for using a collective name. The most important one is that Chinese themselves consider the language to be unified entity, and there are good reasons for treating it as such. [emphasis added]
I take exception to these statements.  This is not NPOV -- it nails dead that 'Chinese language' (singular) is a fact, when it is instead still a controversial topic (see, for example, the two books I put in the References.  Many linguists will still disagree and will say 'Chinese languages' (plural) is the correct description.  The article, as it stands now, allows no such dissent.
And, I hope that one should realize they are representing more than 1 billion people when they say 'the Chinese [people] themselves consider ...', leaving no space for diversity of thought.  --Kaihsu Tai 19:03, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: The article says: "At the trials in 1946, Soviet General Roman Rudenko raised the indictment, stating "one of the most important criminal acts for which the major war criminals are responsible was the mass execution of Polish prisoners of war shot in the Katyn forest near Smolensk by the German fascist invaders",[78] but failed to make the case and the U.S. and British judges dismissed the charges.[79] Only 70 years later did it become known that former OSS chief William Donovan had succeeded in getting the American delegation in Nuremberg to block the Katyn indictment". That's wrong. The indictment #3 indicates the katyn massacre. For example, Hermann Goering was found guilty on all four indictments.

Talk:Oakworth Hall

message: *Is it for sale? What makes me think this is a brochure text?Wetman 05:53, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: At what point in history did Isaac Holden own Oakworth Hall?
I'm not sure if this is an error, Isaac Holden owned Oakworth House, which was destroyed in 1907 by a fire, 10 years after his death. This area is now Holden Park
According to the Wikipedia history of Oakworth Hall, this Hall was owned by the Haggas family/descendants at the time of Isaac Holden, so there seems to be a conflict here as Isaac Holden is not mentioned in the Wikipedia history of the Hall. I think there may be a mix up between Oakworth House and Oakworth Hall. They are in fact two different properties. --Andy Wade 23:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Southern United States

message: Here's a more sophisticated analysis of the ethnic demography of several Southern states during the Federalist period (we don't have good data for the colonial period, although it's reasonable to assume the demography right before the Revolutionary War was not much different than it was the following decade). .
The English had an overall majority in the region, but there were significant minorities of non-English settlers (Europeans) and in some of these colonies/states the English were a numerical minority. The popular view of early Southern demography, which is predominately English sprinkled with some 'Ulster Scots', is more of a caricature of the actual backgrounds of these settlers (although these were the two largest groups).  
And I see this section was sourced to DHF's 'Albion's Seed', a familiar pattern in these articles. Some editors on here seem to have elevated this guy to the be-all end-all authority on colonial American demography, which would be big news to contemporary historians.

Talk:Takoyaki

message: The most common scription for takoyaki in Japanese is たこ焼き.
This is just a quick comparison of the different versions and the googled results at the time of this writing:
*たこ焼き 3,730,000
*たこ焼 807,000
*蛸焼き 507
*蛸焼 753
*章魚焼き 1,030 - Most frequent pages found were direct copies of the previous edits of this article.
*章魚焼 129
*鮹焼き 21
*鮹焼 28
I conclude that the overwhelming representation of takoyaki in Japanese is たこ焼き and have therefore made it the first to appear. While たこ焼 is also relatively common, less than one fourth of all responses, the missing okurigana き is the only difference and it seems pointless to include this scription in the article. The other previously listed option 章魚焼き was much less than 1% and therefore I see it highly unnecessary to include this in the article. Sudachi 10:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
