Talk:Nuwara Eliya

message: I'm trying to get the pronunciation in IPA, but I can at most note what I think is the English pronunciation , which is obviously no good. What language is "Nuwara Eliya" supposed to be in? --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 14:48, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume that it's Sinhala, but I couldn't swear to that. The pronunciation in the opening of the text is a fair British English approximation, and the IPA, of which I know little, looks about right. Despite its apearance, it's definitely pronounced as four syllables rather than six. A wonderful place incidentally.  jimfbleak 06:15, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

In fact, due to the linguistic tendencies of Moors, it could be said that the majority of the population speak Tamil (despite ethnic Tamils not being a majority). 192.170.216.45 (talk) 01:39, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  SV Austria Salzburg 

message: Someone asked in WP:Footy as Red Bull apparently owned Salzburg and RB Leipzig, but it would be violate a rule of UEFA that disallow any entities to significantly own two clubs in the European competitions, such as CSKA was sponsored by the owner of Chelsea, but not owned the two clubs actually. So it seem the ownership structure may need more citation and summarized the explanation from the newspapers. Matthew_hk tc 19:11, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The way they work around it, from my understanding, has to do with RB Leipzig and the German federation's rules about club's being majority-owned by members; afaik, Red Bull GmbH only owns 45% or so of RB Leipzig, and are considered sponsors, similar to the Chelsea–CSKA example you mentioned above. Salzburg, on the other hand, is outright owned by Red Bull, so this article is correct in its description. oknazevad (talk) 00:04, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Is a charity considered an "international charity" if it is based in one country, and does its work in other countries?  Or does it need to have its management decentralized among many nations?  I want to know whether I should include:
* Human Concern International

Talk:Wenceslaus I of Bohemia

message: What is the source for a death date of 1253? According to Schwennicke, Europaische Stammtafeln (vol. 2), he died before 23 Sept 1248. --Michael K. Smith 01:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Death Date

message: "In 1241 Wenceslaus successfully repelled a raid on Bohemia by Batu Khan, although Moravia suffered devastation at the hands of the Mongols. Because Mongols did not sent main army to Poland, Bohemia and Silesia. That was consisted of only 20.000 mongols who defeated european elite knights such as Knights Templar, Teutonic knights, Hospitallers and mounted Polish heavy knights. In 1248 Wenceslaus had to deal with a rebellion of the nobility, led by his son Otakar. The rebellion was quelled and Otakar imprisoned."
Specifically, in the second and third sentences, I'm not exactly sure what's being stated. The second sentence reads, "Because Mongols did not sent main army to Poland, Bohemia and Silesia." I'm tempted to think that it's connected to the first sentence (i.e. "In 1241, Wenceslaus successfully repelled a Mongol raid on Bohemia, because the Mongols did not send their main army to Bohemia, Poland or Silesia, though Moravia suffered significant destruction at the hands of the Mongols), but I'm not sure if that's what the author was trying to say, and since no references are cited, I can't cross-reference them to clarify the sentence. The third sentence is also a point of confusion for me. Which army was made up of 20 000 men? The main army, or the one that was sent to Poland, Bohemia and Silesia? If it's the main Mongol army, there needs to be something to tie it to the rest of the paragraph.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by CorporalSpringbok (talk • contribs) 20:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

There should be a paragraph further down the article that explains that. BBB was a successful company so to have that article page trashed I think is wrong.

replies: text: I agree, there should absolutely be an explanation on this page.  My guess is that the non-neutrality refers to: "She has written many influential books, including Psychoanalysis and the Sociology of Gender, and is widely considered one of the leading feminist theorists."  It would be better to say what her influence has been, who has been influenced by her.  The last part of the sentence ("leading theorist") can be removed, IMHO. /skagedal[talk] 15:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Warning about neutrality 

message: First of all, Chodorow's best know book's full title is The Reproduction of Mothering: Psychoanalysis and the Sociology of Gender. It was selected by Contemporary Sociology as one of the 10 most influential books in sociology of the last 25 years.
The account in your article of her analysis of gender formation is off base. The critique is weird--there is a whole literature of critique of Reproduction of Mothering, but I've never seen anything along the lines of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gcavalletto (talk • contribs) 05:28, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I took the liberty of rounding out Dr. Chodorow's publication history.  I am also removing the second half of the last line "Nancy Chodorow retired from the University of California in 2005; in the same year her father, physicist Marvin Chodorow, passed."  Info regarding her professional history seems kosher, but including a personal (and no doubt painful) piece of biographical information like the passing of her father does not seem appropriate in this format.--K 10 01:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Geology of the Capitol Reef area

message: This is a great article, definitely worthy of being an FA. My only suggestion is one of scope --- why limit this to Capitol Reef? The geology you've described is applicable to the entire southwestern corner of Utah (from Capitol Reef, over to Moab, down to Canyonlands). The same sedimentary layers occurs throughout (my old friends, Moenkopi and Wingate!).
How about renaming the article something like Geology of southwestern Utah? -- hike395 13:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the compliment. :) However, this article only deals with formations as they exist in the immediate area of Capitol Reef National Park. Formations are not monolithic and different parts have different characteristics (the thickness of the Navajo Sandstone here, for example, is different than at Zion National Park while the mix of members of the Moenkopi Formation varies with location and the jointing of the Entrada Sandstone is different here than that at Goblin Valley State Park). Also, formations are discontinuous and by no means does this article describe the complete geologic history of the south east Utah (several formations are missing for that). I do plan to create largish articles for every formation in Utah that is represented in a national park/monument. But that will need to wait until after geology articles for every park and monument in Utah have been created. A geology of Utah or even geology of Southeast Utah article would not go into much detail on each of the many dozens of formations that are exposed in the state. It would be an overview of events. Articles such as this one will concern themselves with more explanation of individual formations as they are represented in their limited extent and, of course, articles on the formations will present a general description of the formation and how its characteristics are different in different areas and why. --mav 22:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
