message: In Not Even My Name, Thea Halo writes, "Themia is accented on the second syllable, the 'i'...We are told by Greeks that Efthemia is the correct name, but my mother was never called that." (Quote under "Pronunciation of Names", a page between the acknowledgements and the beginning of Book One.) Should we remove "Euthemia," even if it is the proper Greek name? Thanks!

message: I was just recently working on the translation of this article into Spanish and the following issues arouse from it:
1. What is the correct transliteration and pronunciation of his name? I've seen his name listed in google.com/books as Yuhanun Qashisho. In Spanish, the u would sound like an oo in English, as in the word foot (and not like the u in the word much or but). That would be an issue in the article in English too. At least an IPA notation should be added next to the name, it would help a lot.
2. The article mentions "assyrian language". Wouldn't it be more precise to talk about syriac or turoyo? Did Qashisho write his poems in Syriac?

thread_title:  Transliteration and pronunciation 

message: Its really amazing that you can call Yuhanon for an "Assyrian" nationalist, writer etc etc. The Arameanists claims that he is Aramean, since he wrote many poems about his love to his Aramean nation. But also that would be non-neutral. Therefore, i add "Syriac" instead of "Assyrian" or "Aramean", since Syriac is the most neutral term. Dejwono (talk) 17:35, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Investor

message: I am making this a separate article.  In one sense, the word "investor" merely means a party who makes investments.  However, the word has taken on specific meanings and it is important in the world of business to understand the different types of parties who act as investors, as distinct from the nature or form of the investment.

message: The assumption of risk in anticipation of gain but recognizing a higher than average possibility of loss. The term speculation implies that a business or investment risk can be analyzed and measured, and its distinction from the term Investment is one of degree of risk. It differs from gambling, which is based on random outcomes.Barron's  There is nothing in the act of speculating or investing that suggests holding times, have anything to do with the difference in the degree of risk separating speculation from investing. 
Speculation  from 14c., "contemplation, consideration, contemplation, observation, to look at, view" (see scope). Disparaging sense of "mere conjecture" is recorded from 1570s. Meaning "buying and selling in search of profit from rise and fall of market value" is recorded from 1774.  
Scope sense of "distance the mind can reach, extent of view" first recorded c.1600. 
Investment 1590s, “act of putting on vestments,  commercial sense is from 1610s, originally of the finances of the East India Company; general use is from 1740 in the general sense of “conversion of money to property in hopes of profit,” and by 1837 in the sense “amount of money so invested; property viewed as a vehicle for profit.” 
What is significant to note is the change from a passive to an active form of use. Specifically from a strict observer to one who contemplates what they observe then further to one who contemplates and acts on what they observe.
With these changes, the word as now commonly used, describes one who observes an object, event, or situation and takes some form of action with regard to the observed, all the while aware they may not know all the facts or factors regarding or affecting that which they observe. E.g. the financial speculator, one who understands and accepts he may not know all the facts or risks involved with a venture, yet chooses to invest his capital in the venture for the possibility of receiving greater capital in return.

Talk:Joe Gordon

message: Why is he being listed as already being in the Hall when he isn't? If someone hasn't been inducted yet, they aren't a member yet. The Hall itself does not consider him a member yet  and on their page for Hall of Famers  there is a caption under the picture of Gossage and Williams: "The long wait for both Goose Gossage and Dick Williams ended Sunday with their inductions." It's the induction that makes one a member not the election. Elected politicians don't take over their office on election night, they become the new office holder after they are sworn in. I don't see why this is any different. To claim that someone is a member of an organization that the organization itself doesn't even think he's a member of makes Wikipedia users - particularly the Baseball WikiProject - look ignorant.

thread_title:  Done merger 

message: I think the terms high gain antenna and low gain antenna should be removed from the article as categories of antenna.  These are not used as categories in antenna technical literature so their definitions are unsourced; they have no fixed difinition.   The use of these terms by the public originated with the US space program.  In describing antennas on spacecraft on TV and publicity releases, NASA needed to distinguish between the small omnidirectional antennas used in Earth orbit, and the large parabolic antennas that needed to be aimed at the Earth, so they referred to one as a "low gain antenna" and the other as a "high gain antenna" respectively.  The large use of these terms in the media led people to assume that they were  technical terms rather than NASA jargon. --ChetvornoTALK 14:40, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Events on the Chrononauts timeline

message: I understand that "alternate realities" are unverifiable - it's just one of those many intrinsic traits of alternate realities!  However, since we are dealing with a work of fiction, why can't we list the alternate realities and add a disclaimer at the beginning of the article?  The way I see it, it's no different from a list of Pokemon, which also exists on Wikipedia, but that could just as easily be considered an "alternate realty."  Furthermore, the fact that the events are in the physical game makes them verifiable, at least within that constraint. nlyons162 20:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing is, though, adding them in wouldn't be saying that the alternate realities are real, or that they could have happened. Adding them would be saying "When you flip a Linchpin card, it shows a different phrase, which Chrononauts calls an 'Alternate Reality.'" This is definitely verifiable by looking at the cards.

message: Non-free images can be used to provide information, must be of low resolution and illustrate salient aspects of the film. The concern was raised that the captions provide a weak rationale. Comments? FWiW, this is a unique production in that the impact of the film has to rely on accurately sculpted and modelled figures, settings and military equipment. The numerous comments made by critics and reviewers who decried the cheesy effects are the reason for providing some aspect of the imagery of the film. While the historical figures have a modicum of accuracy, the fitting of uniforms and clothing is a very distracting aspect of the production, while the military equipment stands out as period-authentic in colours, markings and details.Bzuk (talk) 18:23, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Chout

message: This entry states: "Ansermet's reputation suffered after the war because of his collaboration with the Nazis and he was boycotted in the new state of Israel."
There are no examples given here of Ansermet "collaborat[ing] with the Nazis." What exactly is this supposed to mean? Did he collaborate with actual Nazi officials? If so, in what way? Or did he collaborate (i.e. musically) with other musicians who were living in Germany under the Nazi regime in the 1930s and 1940s? The citation to Sheffi's book Ring of Myths is a broken link. 
Moreover, the reportedly anti-Semitic comments of Ansermet credited to him from his own book Les fondements de la musique dans la conscience humaine do not cite the actual, original source; rather they cite, second-hand, a footnote reference in another person's book — on Stravinsky. 
There is also a bit of chronological sleight-of-hand or fudging going on here with reference to Ansermet's alleged "collaboration with the Nazis." The Ansermet book did not come out until 1961, yet it is  lumped into the same paragraph as "Nazi collaboration." 
These claims may possibly be correct — frankly, I dunno. However, a charge of "collaboration with the Nazis" is a serious, even explosive, matter; and it is not backed up here with any reliable examples or first-hand citations. This should either be backed up by original sources, rewritten to explain the exact nature of this "Nazi collaboration," or dropped.

text: I'm not sure about the "World Conference" thing you are all discussing (perhaps it was deleted) but I found it a little strange to list Untermyer's anti-German statements (political or otherwise) under the heading of "Pro-Zionist"; after all, Zionism is not inherently anti-German, or even *completely* anti-Nazi, as for example in the case of Adolf Eichmann who worked before the war on ideas surrounding (forced) emigration of German Jews to Palestine, including a trip to the Middle East to study its feasibility and meetings with Zionists there, thus it can be argued that before the war began the goals of Zionism and Nazism were not *entirely* in opposition (both were interested in promoting Jewish emigration to Palestine, although for very different reasons and under different conditions).Historian932 (talk) 11:37, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
