message: I am posting this here, since many people do not know the difference between birthplace and hometown. Birthplace is where you are born. Hometown is where you live or grew up.

Talk:Kira

message: Kira is part of the Japanese language with the meaning of "killer" which is taken from the English language. 
It is mainly used in the Japanese Anime called 'Death Note'. Light Yagami or Kira finds a 'Death Note' which fell from a shinigami, or God of death.He uses it to kill villins for all of the wrong they have done. Soon after he has killed many, he anonymously gets the name 'Kira'.
'Kira' in Japan is what they take from the eniglish word "Kill". But it means the same thing in both languages.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.186.88 (talk) 04:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Japanese 

message: I find it curious that the Belgian and German Kiras have been given links to "real name" entries that don't exist yet.  I feel that entries under "Natasja de Witte" and "Janine Scholz" would not be able to give much information that isn't already available under their respective Kira entries.  It would be like creating a separate entry for, say, Frances Gumm even though an already-existing entry for her under "Judy Garland" more than suffices.  Besides, I think that the two Kiras' work as musicians is more notable from a Wikipedia standpoint than what they do as private individuals. Musicbear180 (talk) 18:13, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Tsyam

message: This article is less about the mythological homeland of the Kalash, than it is an essay which argues that they come from Albania. And a poorly sourced one to boot. CiteCop 02:55, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes exactly. This has nothing to do with any credible research about the mythological homeland. A quick on-line search showed that some work was copied from Yannis Manolidakis page and book (here: ) and other random places but these got nothing to do with Albania, "Chameria" Chams" "Albanian language" or anything along these lines. The article, as it stands, is an original "research" piece (not even an essay), infested with folk etymologies (and poor at that), nonsensical "conclusions", of the kind that one may find in kooky boards or something. --15:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cleanup notes 

message: The reference for this name is Absoluteastonomy.com.  Looking at that website shows a large amount of names that look to be translations of the scientific names to cover the fact that the taxa listed don't actually have a common name, and there is not indication of where the "common" names were found.  This combined with the articles for the taxa are excerpts from wikipedia raise the question of how appropriate the the site is as a source. A google search with the terms  "American horse" Equus scotti only brings up copies of the Absoluteastonomy.com and this wikipedia article. I would suggest deleting the American horse ref. unless a better source can be found.--Kevmin (talk) 21:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Samuel Lipschutz

message: First name controversy resolved. The first name was Salomon because it's on the most official documents including those provided by Winter. "Samuel" was probably Salomon's attempt to Americanize his name, but is unofficial. People probably had a hard time pronouncing Salomon, so I can see him advising to call him Samuel as close enough. I wouldn't use Samuel for a Wikipedia page any more than we refer to Hemingway as Ernie. A Brooklyn Chess magazine on page 36 clearly lists the name as Salomon. They would know. Here's a link to said magazine: https://archive.org/details/brooklynchessch00mugoog/page/n34/mode/2up?q=Salomon

Talk:Charles Jaffe

message: I think that there is a problem in the end of this paragraph:
In 1913, he took 3rd at New York (National), with 9.5/13, as José Raúl Capablanca won (CM). Chajes defeated Capablanca with the Black pieces in this tournament. In 1913, Chajes took 4th at New York (Quadrangular; Marshall won). In 1913, he lost a match to Capablanca at New York by 0.5-2.5. In that same year, he won matches in New York against Mieses and Oscar Chajes.
 
Are we reading about Chajes or about Jaffe?

Talk:Traverse Gap

message: This and other articles say that Lake Agassiz "broke through" at Traverse Gap. Yet, there seems to be no ridge of higher elevation at this point. In fact the  Glacial River Warren river valley extends farther north. The area is effected by post-glacial rebound. The present locations of the continental divide does not seem to mark any specific historic event or catastrophe. The exact location of the "gap" on the old riverbed may thus have changed over the years. It is possible that the Little Minnesota River flowed north some centuries ago. -- Petri Krohn 02:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Big Stone Moraine exists both west and east of the gap.  The Fisher paper cited in the new article on Glacial River Warren has a very interesting discussion of formation of the gap and the intermittent flow through it.  There is evidence of other channels in the immediate area which drained the lake and were superseded by this outlet.  As adverted to in the Glacial River Warren article, there were other, more distant outlets to Lake Agassiz, and isostatic rebound was one of the causes of these wandering outlets.  At various times these outlets included Lake Nipigon to Glacial Lake Duluth and down the St. Croix to the Mississippi or east to the Saint Lawrence, and even the Mackenzie River to the Arctic.  I will add a cite to the Fisher paper to this article, as well as mention of Browns Valley Man, skeletal remains of PaleoIndians some 8700 years old, found just east of Browns Valley.

Talk:Opium

message: For the illegal drug trade, the morphine is extracted from the opium latex...
The last two paragraphs in the Lede appear to be contrasting the legal production of opioids with the illegal.  The above, italicized statement reads as if it is in contrast to the previous paragraph; as if the illegal opioids are made from the poppy's "latex", but the legal opiods are not.  Instinctively I feel like they are both probably made from the latex, but the phrasing of the last paragraph makes me wonder if the previous paragraph left an important detail out.  My point is that the Lede should be clear on whether or not legal and illegal opioid products are both made from the latex. or is their production different in some way.  In general, I have the sense that there is a coordinated effort by the media to obscure the source and method of legal opioid production, and to create the illusion that they are two radically different things, perhaps as a way to factor "Big Pharma" out of the opium production equation.  Heroin is bad and dangerous can comes from a dirty place like Afghanistan, but oxycontin is good, wholesome, and pure, and is manufactured in a lab somewhere.68.206.248.178 (talk) 14:36, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
