message: Hello , could you please explain to me why you inserted the term "Vietnam" so often in this edit? Isn't that already assumed? Especially since the contemporary name of the country at the time was Đại Nam and the Nguyễn Dynasty didn't control French Cochinchina at the time meaning that the readers could confusingly read that the Emperors ruled all of what is today called "Vietnam". --Donald Trung (talk)  23:11, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Insertion of the name "Vietnam" 

message: This is a non-sensical construction. The Latin alphabet was developed to write the Latin language by the Romans... From Latin, several neo-Latin or Latinesque languages evolved, which are collectively called Romance languages.  So it isn't that the Latin script is based in Romance languages, it's that Romance languages (collective name for all the languages that emerged from Latin) used and use the Roman alphabet, also called the Latin alphabet, since the people were called the Romans, after Rome, and the language is called Latin after Latium.  
So what the Portuguese missionary did is adapt the Latin script to the Vietnamese sounds by creating notations, macrons and the like, to indicate different sounds for the letters specific to Vietnamese phonology and morphology. Historiaantiqua (talk) 01:07, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Nemawashi

message: we have the term "grass roots". As in, obtaining "grass roots" support for something. This seems to express the semantic idea of nemawashi, and, as a bonus, using the same metaphor of plant roots.
Quiet change from the bottom up within a hierarchical organization is just human psychology; not uniquely Japanese.
Then why have a separate article?
I move that there should just be a footnote in "Grassroots".
----
Grassroots is more synonymous with a bottom up approach, or from a broad unempowered group, whereas nemawashi is more about getting feedback and approval prior to an official proposal. It's not about lower levels driving a change, the top manager could do the nemawashi, getting buy in from all of the interested parties prior to making a change.

message: Having served the presidential guards myself this is the first thing that a new recruit has to know.

Talk:Coupure

message: http://www.angelfire.com/wy/svenskildbiter/madict.html has counterscarp defined as:
:Counterscarp: The outer side of a ditch of a fortification, in some permanent fortifications it was faced with stone to make entering and retreating from the ditch more hazardous.
This is my understanding of the term. Is there more than one meaning, or is the present entry wrong? --Shoka 22:56, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Coupure: (1) An entrenchment made by the besieged behind a breach in the defences. (2) A passage through the glacis to allow the defenders to sally forth to attack an approaching enemy force. (Fr. couper, to cut).
would seem to describe the situation more accurately. Where did the description of the works as a counterscarp come from?--Shoka 23:19, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Cromwell ordered up the battering guns, breached the wall, and made it assaultable for horse and foot. O'Neill, however, lost no time in causing a counterscarp and a ditch to he made right opposite the breach, and he also threw a strong body of musketeers into the houses lying near the wall, who opened a galling fire on the enemy as they advanced. The assault now began in right earnest, the Cromwellians never thinking of the ditch and counterscarp which barred their progress, and so valiantly did the Irish behave on that awful night that they three several times beat back their assailants with terrible carnage. Resolved, however, to win or lose all, Cromwell poured his masses pell-mell into the breach, the hind ranks pushing those that went before them into the ditch, where they were slaughtered without mercy for fully four hours.
If one uses the term "scarp" (as in "scarp slope", the leading edge of escarpment) to mean the wall of a fortress then I suppose one can have a counterscarp either side of the wall. I would agree with you that usually they are placed on the outside for obvious reasons. I think we should move this article to Coupure, although it is not very often used as an expression on the net for such a defensive construction. --Philip Baird Shearer 13:58, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Additional citations

message: Without wishing to make any political points about nationality or any indy debate, is it helpful to list Knussen under "Scotland" rather than the "United Kingdom"? He was part of the general British music scene; he studied in London, was influenced by Britten, and seemed to have spent his musical working life in the southeast of the UK, rather than as part of a distinctive Scottish scene. (I can't find reference to how Knussen saw himself and his music in terms of nationality). I'm concerned readers may come away with the impression there is a distinctively Scottish style of modernist music (as opposed to more generally British) that Knussen represents.

Wikipedia is not a directory or a listing of press releases. The articles need to be rewritten in a more encyclopedic style. For instance, phone numbers and addresses need to be removed.

Can "valence" be used (metaphorically) as a synonym for something that has a certain polarity or "charge?" If "valence" can be used metaphorically to describe something outside of the realm of science maybe that could be added to the article. 2600:8801:BE01:7C00:384E:582A:B8E:C3EE (talk) 18:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
