Talk:Yaldā Night

message: I spoke with a colleague from Iran and he said Yaldā tree was not a thing. Can anyone confirm this is a widespread enough practice to be included on this page? 62.166.173.17 (talk) 22:39, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: No, Yaldā tree is not common in present day Iran. There's also another mistake in the article. Mithra is not the god of sun in ancient Iranian pre-Zoroastrian religion. It is the god off contract and alliance (based on Iranica encyclopedia). According to some researchers Yalda was the birth of Utu (Shamash) which was the god of sun in ancient Babylonia.

Talk:Siem Reap province

message: "Siem Reap. The name literally means Siamese defeated referring to the victory of the Khmer Empire over the army of the Thai kingdom of Ayutthaya in the 17th Century"
+ Are you sure that this city has beeb called as "Siem Reap" since the 17th Century ? How about "Siam-ma-Rat" ?
The name Siem Reap is original as it´s Khmer meaning refers to; Siam (Thailand) defeated. 
This is a reference to increasing problems with the Khmer neighbours both to the east and west. The post-Angkorian centuries (late 12th to the early 19th centuries) were dominated by breakup in the wast empire that Cambodia had been, with increasing loss of land and the 17th century was significantly dominated by loss of lands to the Chams or the Vietnamese which overtook the lowlands to the south of the Mekong river where it runs to sea, including Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). Many Khmers today still refer to this area as Kamputchea Krom or lower Cambodia. In the west the victory over the Siamese was shortlived and eventually Siem Reap itself (and the Angkor area) became under the influence of Siam. However, historically the Siamese or the Thais have never really claimed this to be part of their kingdom and conflict over Angkor was minimal and eventually the area was returned to Cambodia in the early 20th century at about the same time when the French where starting their extencive studies of Angkor (often refered to early as the "lost city"). However to this day huge archeological structures dip the Thai landscape along the Cambodian border to the north up to Laos and their undoubtful origin is Khmer. Even as recently as in 2008 there was serious rivalry between the Thai and the Cambodian government over areas such as around the temple of Prasat Preah Vihear (on the Thai/Cambodian border). Khmer Angkorian culture remains one of the most magnificent in the world to date.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpgje (talk • contribs) 00:37, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Serei Saophoan (city)

message: This article claims that "Serei Saophoan is difficult to pronounce, so often the area is written transliterated as 'Sisophon', even on Cambodian signs." I more likely explanation than difficulty of pronunciation is that Sisophon reflects the Thai pronunciation and romanization of this town, in an area that is close to Thailand and historically was long administered by the Thais. Can anyone verify this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MattMadden (talk • contribs) 07:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of "Sisophon" romanization 

message: In the traditional language of Cambodia (Khmer), 'svay' translates to mango. Hence the origin of Svay as apart of Sisophon's name most likely comes from the large quantity of mangoes available to buy when truck drivers stop in the city at the start-middle of the rainy season (may-ish)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.18.196.209 (talk) 23:48, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

message: The page uses two different spellings, about 50/50:

Is there a standard to guide us in which one to use?
--Thnidu (talk) 21:52, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Most Khmer vowels and many consonants have no equivalent in English and, unfortunately, there is no universal standard for transliteration. There are a few systems in use, but none faithfully represent the sounds of Khmer. I prefer the romanization used by Huffman and Proum in Cambodian System of Writing (1970) as it is the most clear and least ambiguous but it requires a few non-standard latin characters such as "ə", for example. The Khmer vowel sound in question here is , which is usually transliterated as "eu" because "u" is used for . But steung is a common place name element (meaning "river") and is haphazardly spelled however the author feels like in the moment. Even government sources aren't consistent.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 01:35, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Affiliated operator

message: Unfortunately various statements on this page are incorrect. The easiest way to define affiliation is to say that T commutes with each unitary in the
commutant and use the uniqueness of the polar decomposition. Only in the type I and type II case, in the presence of a finite trace, does the set of affiliated operators form a *-algebra. This was first proved by Murray and von Neumann. By defining measurable operators, Edward Nelson simplified their work and extended  it to infinite traces; his approach is discussed in Takesaki's book. In the type III case the different non-commutative Lp spaces correspond to different powers of the reference modular operator and so are disjoint: this is Connes' spatial theory of non-commutative integration which is discussed in his book on non-commutative geometry. I will therefore shorten and completely rewrite this article. --Mathsci 11:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Secondly, the vt220 is ANSI compatible, but it's not ANSI "standard" in that it doesn't implement the standard in full.
There's so much misinformation around the use of the term "ANSI" with regards to ANSI X3.64 escape codes. The Wikipedia page for that is also 90% incorrect or irrelevant.
