Talk:Kuru (kingdom)

message: I think it must be clarified if Kuru realm belongs to BRW or PGW. As far as I know it belongs to PGW. Sites like Hastinapura has PGW and no BRW. 
I would like the sources for putting BRW in the article. Thank you
There is a kuruba community in Southern India. Many ancient dynasties of south India like Pallava, Hoysala, Sangama of Vijayanagara Empire etc are supposed to be from this clan.  Their is a belief and practices of ancestor worship like worshiping badaganadaiah ( god from North  etc) along with Beeralingeswara. May be research into genealogy of these people would give more truth to the Indian  History.TT 22:07, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Lack of Reference 

message: The view that the Kurus were from Central Asia is contradicted by the new debunking of the supposed "Aryan invasion 
of India" which never happened. Thus, the Indo-Aryan Kurus were not from Central Asia or Europe or anywhere outside 
India for that matter. Ancient Indian texts mention no geographical references outside India and it is prepostrous 
to assume that the Ganga refer to anything but the Ganga in India. If texts are to be interpreted that way, no 
geographical reference can be accepted. The Himalayas will become a Central Asian mountain range!

Talk:Naff

message: This page is a dictionary definition (something which Wikipedia is not).  It explains the meaning, etymology and usage examples of a slang word.  I can't find any encyclopedic content on this page.  Nothing here rises past what I would expect to read in a truly great unabridged dictionary.  The definitions and usage discussions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.
Options to fix the page here include:
# Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
# Redirect the page to a more general page on the appropriate sub-genre of slang.
# Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the  template).
# Replace the current contents with a disambiguation page referring to the people bearing this name.

Talk:Coins of the Falkland Islands pound

message: I believe the animal on the 10-pence coin has been incorrectly identified as a Fur Seal. This can probably be traced to the Krause World Coin catalogue that calls it an "Ursine Seal" (ursine meaning fur), and this error has been picked up and propagated by coin collectors.
The animal pictured is more likely a South American Sea Lion (aka Southern Sea Lion). This site tipped me off first:
http://www.falklandsconservation.com/wildlife/species_reports/sealion.html
While Fur Seals are present in the Falklands, the Southern Sea Lion is much more prevalent and has played a far more important role in its history (commercial exploitation).
Most importantly, just take a look at pictures of the two animals and the animal pictured on the coin. The animal on the coin looks like a Southern Sea Lion, not a Fur Seal.

Talk:HPV

message: Human papillomavirus is by far the dominant meaning of the initialism "HPV."

Therefore I made the redirect go directly to the human papillomavirus article.

replies: text: "Give people an option." is what User:Widemind says.  But they do have that option.  The way the original redirect set up is that it sends people directly to human papillomavirus.  At the top of that article it says: "HPV" redirects here. For other uses, see HPV (disambiguation).  How is that not giving them an option?  If almost every link and every search is for people who want to learn about the disease, why would we force them to go through a "middle man" to get there first?  Why inconvenience the vast majority instead of a handful?  As Retroid said, 4 Google hits for the vehicle vs. 95 for the disease is a pretty big deal.  Metros232 19:47, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

How is their no mention of "challenges"? They are one of the most important parts of the game and punishes people for avoiding the ball. A Challenge is something anyone can issue at any time. When a challenge is issued, the person closest to the ball must get the ball and immediately come to a halt. He must then attempt to hit the wall from wherever he is standing (usually far away) If he is sucsessful, the person who issued the challenge is out. If not, the person being challenged is out. All normal rules still apply as the challenger is throwing the ball, as well as after it hits the wall — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.166.55 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 17 June 2008

Category talk:American people of Scottish descent

message: This cat has come under fire recently and I can kind of see both sides of it.  I think part of the problem was that folks saw most of the additions were by an anon ip user which usually brings to mind thoughts of a vandal, but in this case that doesnt appear to be the situation.
However, with that said, what is this category attempting to do?  Are we adding it to every single person on Wikipedia that is in any way of Scottish ancestry?  I guess that would be okay by Wiki standards (as in there is no rule against it) but I wonder if tis a good idea.  Also, as we have seen, putting this category on well known people, such as George Washington and Robert E. Lee will draw constant reverts from a lot of people.  I'm not against the cat, I'm just saying it appears to be causing problems. -Husnock 21:52, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: As the article Shri Vidya seems to be quite specific about being about "Lalitha" and methods of worship thereof, the merge suggestion seems quite reasonable, so I have restored it so it can be discussed. IPSOS (talk) 21:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not support the merge.  Unfortunately both articles are weak, and do not do much to differentiate the issues.  The form of the goddess named Lalitā is a distinct form, and has specific devotional literature such as the Lalita sahasranama that can be studied independently of the Shri Vidya practices.  The branch of tantrism known as Shri Vidya, on the other hand, is a philosophical and devotional school involving a variety of things, some of which have little to do with  per se.  Another way of saying this is that  is a goddess, and Shri Vidya is a ritualized philosophical school.  Rather than merging them, each article should be completely rewritten and sourced appropriately. Buddhipriya 09:26, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would also disgree with the merge (thus I moved the tag). This article is a stub, but gives relevant basic information. The Shri Vidya article requires a major clean-up before anything can be done with it and discusses a different concept  to that of Lalita specifically. Buddhipriya's points above sound like the best way forward. Gouranga(UK) 09:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An analogy for this is that we have separate articles for Vishnu and Vaishnavism, Shiva and Shaivism, etc.  A citation establishing the basic parallel is from Flood (1996) p. 187, who says "The Śrī Vidyā is the cult of Lalitā Tripurasundarī or simply Tripurasundarī ('Beautiful Goddess of the Three Cities'), a tantric form of Śrī/Lakṣmī, ... (etc.)" On a more general note I think that all of the various goddess forms that have distinct cultic traditions or significant mythical accounts should have their own articles, all with a link to the more abstract concept of Devī. I did a makeover of Shri Vidya to remove unsourced material and at least get a few sourced facts in, so please take a look and help clean up whatever errors I have introduced there.
