Talk:Battōjutsu

message: Reading the Iaido talk page, it looks like this was once before merged with iaido.  At the risk of repeating history, though, if it's a separate martial art, it seems like it should have its own page (rather than a "this is often confused with something else that doesn't have a page" blurb). --Eric's penguin 05:01, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Make sure you put in the right name for a wiki-link. As an example: both Muso Shinden-ryu and Musō Jikiden Eishin Ryū have their own seperate article, but they are incorrectly linked in this article. Fred26 11:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naming of the various japanese ryu and other names 

message: There is no point in having one. If we dedicate a section for fictional batto-"users" then we might as well create a "fictional rifle, pistol, whip, sword, sabre, tank, aircraft"-users section as well. Fred26 07:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand how you reach this conclusion.  Portrayals of Japanese or other eastern sword techniques are much less common than portrayals of the use of such modern weaponry, and the specific mention of battojutsu is even more rare than this.  It would seem to me that the rarity of its use in modern fiction would make it more noteworthy; you're of course correct that to mention every fictional hero who uses a gun would be silly - but how many modern fictional heroes can you name that are specifically said to use battojutsu methods?  I am aware of only two and am an avid consumer of fantasy fiction, historical fiction, and manga & anime, which is where one would expect to find battojutsu in fiction.

thread_title:  I've removed the fictional section 

message: I have removed the redirect from Iaijutsu and placed it on Battojutsu. It's not perfect, but this will have to do until a "iaijutsu" page pops up. IMHO "Battojutsu" & "Iaijutsu" are just all names for the same thing. Some of the ryu listed on the page have their own names for what they do in the school, some have Battojutsu and Iaijutsu. It depends on the school, really, as there are no hard and fast rules.

message: "An MP who switched parties would literally need to cross the floor. A notable example of the latter is Winston Churchill, who crossed the floor from the Conservatives to the Liberals in 1904, before later crossing back in 1924."
Is the word "literally" being misused here?  It is clearly not true that a Commons member who switches parties needs to literally cross the floor... because the MP could switch parties while the Commons isn't in session, or overnight, etc.  So the first sentence is untrue (or at least the word "literally" is wrong).  The second sentence implies that Winston Churchill literally crossed the floor.  Do we know whether this is true or whether he changed parties whilst not physically present in the Chamber, thus not needing to cross the floor? 86.174.248.89 (talk) 18:00, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed examples 

message: It reads 
"Start each entry with a bullet (an asterisk in wiki markup) and a capital letter"
I think it could allow easier navigation if only proper nouns were capitalised, and other words left starting lower-case.  This makes sense, since the sentence has already started, eg: "Colour may refer to: colour" makes more sense than "Colour may refer to: Colour".  Is there any oppostion to this capitalisation rule changing? --Commander Keane 14:03, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
* Yes. Most of this MOS, like other WP policies, was developed to codify and standardize what was already being done. Almost all existing pages use the capital letters. It wouldn't be worth it to change 9,000 dab pages just for this. —Wahoofive (talk) 16:59, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Billy Mitchell (gamer)

message: Apologies to Masem for apparently having violated Wikipedia rules. I understand the website "perfectpacman.com" is regarded as self-publishing, is that correct?  I do not know who is behind that website, but perhaps it does not matter for the concern to apply? N.B., I submitted my "undo"-edit prematurely, before I could add the reason as to why I thought I had addressed the "primary source" concern, please accept my apologies for that. 
I feel it should be possible to allow the reader to see the technical arguments provided by Tanner Fokkens as to why the Michael Zyda testimony is highly problematic, purely based on a technical analysis. Is there any proper way to accomplish that? If there currently is no proper way, what would have to happen to make it possible (e.g., would a newspaper have to report about the Fokkens refutation)?
BTW, I do not think that my reordering of the sentences should have been undone. I do not want to engage in a "do, undo, redo, rinse and repeat"-cycle so will not make any changes for now, but I believe my joining of the two sentences regarding the Twin Galaxies scores was an improvement and is not subject to the "primary source" and/or "direct SPS usage" concerns. May I attempt to reinstantiate my suggested reordering? class=A42 (talk) 19:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: We need to have the refuting document be covered in a reliable source to include. Zyda's statement is mentioned in reliable sources, so we can include mention of it.

Talk:Forensic

message: This is how I decided to add information in here:
I was looking for what "forensic" means, as I dont't have english as my native language.
After searching a lot, I got to see that was its definition.
The change I've made is just because if that was in there it would have been much easier for me.
I just wanted it to be that easy for the next person.
Now, why would Quuxplusone change it back to a simple and complicated redirection, while it was providing more information AND the link to the other defitinition as well?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask that. I'm just not sure what's the best thing to do here. But I don't feel like that "update" from Quuxplusone actually helped at all.
I don't want to start a fight or anything like this. I just want to know better about wikipedia rules, or some kind society agreement, if there is any, on how to deal with this situation, as I'm still a newbie in here.
--Cawas 06:44, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: ← (discussion continued from my talk page)   I think you're misunderstanding both the purpose of an encyclopedia (as opposed to a dictionary, of which there are plenty online, including Wiktionary) and the meaning of the word "forensic" in particular. "Forensic science" is precisely a synonym of "forensics." There is no difference, any more than "gasoline" and "petrol," or "to run" and "running." (By the way, Wikipedia doesn't have an article on flys because "flys" is not a word. The plural of "fly" is "flies," which as you can see is redirected to an appropriate place, rather than getting its own stub article.) "Forensic" and "forensics" mean the same thing, and thus point to the same place. If you want lessons in English usage, read a dictionary or Strunk and White. --Quuxplusone 21:03, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Separated "Cajun" from French. Not all Acadians (who migrants to Louisiana) expelled were of French descent. With this prior logic, "Louisiana Creole" should also be bracketed along side French as Louisiana-born Frenchman were Creoles, but not all Creoles were French either; some Spanish, Native American or African descent in the colonial colony. There is a grand confusion that all Creole descended peoples are black or of African descent and that the white French population of Louisiana are all Cajun; this is not true. See: Edgar Degas as an example. To argue further, when the tally of French spoken in the United States is conducted, French, Cajun French, and French Creole languages are included.
