Talk:Honor killing/Archive 1

message: Given the anonymity of the sources, I'm not sure the "Hamas and Honour Killing" bit should even be there.  But if it's not, people will probably regularly try to re-add it without mentioning the suspiciousness of the claim's sources... - Mustafaa 23:39, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Since 209.135.35.83 (who I strongly suspect is, like 69.138.236.221, the same person as OneVoice -- but that's neither here nor there) continued to replace the disputed sentence despite perfectly reasonable objections regarding the difficulty of proving negatives, I have changed it to a positive statement, which should be indisputable. If any further examples come to light they should of course be added. I also restored the word "anonymous" in the "Hamas and honour killing section", because it is true—there are no names attached to the statements, and for all we know they could have been psyops. (Not that the story is entirely unbelievable—I can think of similar examples of "dishonoured" women committing suicide—but one has to be careful.) —No-One Jones 13:51, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Macina

message: Macina is the spelling used originally in French for the greater and lesser geographical areas, and 19th century state, that it refers to in Mali. It still seems to be widespread in English, though alternative spellings of Masina and Massina have arisen in English. There is also a French spelling of Mâssina. In the main language of the area, Fulfulde, it is written Maasina (the "aa" is different than a simple "a"). There is probably a common transcription in Ajami script that might guide use in editions of WP of languages written in Arabic script.--A12n (talk) 03:18, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Can you note what appears to be original research, so I can view and find sources or correct?. 3. I see request for source type doc, not sure we should show this, but easily found really. 4. I see a request for document/application type and function, as per above, not sure we should show this, but easily found really 5. We should also cover system changes at io (op system) level, that now stops such thing as assuming system volume control at macro level, where and when it was allowed macro viruses were most prevalent.

Talk:Vincent and Me

message: The reference given for Calment's apparent claim to be the last living person to meet Vincent was a dead link, but the claim is not even present in the archived version . -- Cimbalom (talk) 04:36, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The source says: "It wasn't until 1988 that Ms Calment reached international fame, with the centenary of Vincent Van Gogh's visit to Arles. Having met Van Gogh, reporters were fascinated to hear her describe him as “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick. ... We called him a madman”." That she was the last surviving person to have met him is admittedly not claimed directly there, but the inference is reasonable, considering that any rival for the claim in any meaningful sense (as opposed to "sitting on his lap as a baby") would have to have become extremely old too. Maybe "last known person (claiming/claimed) to have met Vincent" is acceptable. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:11, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Free Cossacks

message: One of main problems with militia organizations of "Free Cossacks" was often their xenophobic character - only Ukrainians could participate them and sometimes even not all Ukrainians - people who supported communists (anarchocommunists, bolsheviks etc.) often were excluded, also Jews, Russians ("Moscals") and so on. A lot of people of Ukraine of that time of Ukrainian and not-Ukrainian origin who disliked this interpretation of freedom, Ukrainian independence and democracy went to other military and para-military organizations or created their own, among them: Red Cossacks, batko Mahno's Army and so on. Many people of that time (1917-23ies), who remembered very well that first cossacks ("free people by the will of God"), free people of Ukrainian steppes were of different origin, worldview, language and social status, but this didn't prohibit them to became cossacks in ancient times - claimed that revival of cossacks must be based on this, all-human basis: idea of human freedoms and rights, so nationalistic worldview was banned by them. This can be easily reconstructed from memoires of people who took part in that struggle for democracy, among them memoirs of supporters of Ukrainian Soviet Republic, of batko Mahno's Anarchocommunist Republic and so on.

Talk:FlexATX

message: The article mentions that flexatx is "small and cheap". Although that is one possible application for it, it's also used for computers that are packed with features and cost a premium over regularly-sized computers because the small size is considered a feature which most computers are unable to attain. For an example, take a look at the Shuttle XPC line of computers/barebones. (www.shuttle.com). I'm not trying to promote theirs or anyone else's POV, but the current "FlexATX therefor Small&Cheap" logic is one-sided and incorrect.

:I have removed the POV text that you are refering to.  It is also true that FlexATX motherboards often cost more to the buyer (even though they are cheaper to make) because their size lets them command a premium.  As a sidebar, Shuttle's XPC motherboards are not actually FlexATX (or any other standard used by other companies). — Aluvus t/c 00:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Jaco

message: The term JACO was a signal sent by telegraphists at remote locations, such as post offices, in Australia.  Jaco meant "the end of the day" and was sent at 5.09pm each working day.  A response would come back from the "Traffic Officer" located at some central point, confirming the number of telegrams that should have been received by that outlet that day.  This meant any telegrams that arrived after JACO were for the next day delivery by telegram boys at that local post office.  I was a former telegram delivery boy, and subsequently trained as a telegraphist and the information is sourced from my personal working experience.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.47.135 (talk) 07:47, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unpublished material? 

message: I agree that listing all editions of Tolkien's works would be overblown and unhelpful. My point in listing those specific Hobbit editions was that they constituted significant changes to the text (at least the 2nd edition). The Hobbit (1937) is not what 99.9% of people have read or see in bookshops - it is the third edition text that has been standard for the last fifty years and more. Also the ISBN supplied is for a 3rd Edition printing.
Would a note stating 'Significantly revised in 1951 to align the text with The Lord of The Rings' be reasonable?
Also, what is the purpose of supplying ISBNs? There are so many different printings of the same text, why should we select one? If it were always the first printing, that would have some technical significance, but I have no interest in Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's books, because here in the UK they're published by HarperCollins. -- Verbarson  talkedits 18:36, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
