Talk:Zabaglione (chess variant)

message: The variant described here is almost identical to Legan chess. Mess up with bishops vs. rooks, using camel instead of knight as well as odd promotion rules make it worse then Legan chess in my taste. So, I suggest to rename the article to Legan chess and change rule description accordingly. Andreas Kaufmann 23:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of professional American football drafts

message: Should we use the same format for all the different drafts? So we have the same table for all of them?
Personally, I nominate the table used for the 2004 NFL Draft for two reasons: One, it is done in wiki, which is more the spirit of what we should strive for. And two, it's easier to format than the other tables with the non-wiki/HTML tags. If we move to that format, we could easily copy and paste lists for many drafts. We can get it right from NFL.com.

Talk:Max Cannon

message: I have merged this article with the article on Cannon's most notable work, Red Meat. The article on the author was a stub with unclear notability, unsourced information (such as his number of children) or out of date information (the most recent source on his home city I could find was from 1997). Most importantly, most of the article was about Red Meat and duplicated information from the Red Meat (comic strip) article. The Red Meat (comic strip) article can easily accommodate all of the information from the Max Cannon article without being too long.
However, if you think I've merged these articles in error, please revert it, and let me know. If so, I'll set up a full discussion to get more views and a consensus on the best approach. Thanks, HenryCrun15 (talk) 07:58, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Studio apartment

message: a picture of one would be nice... 23:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The term "Einzimmerwohnung" isn't really appropriate, even though it's verbatim translation means "one-room apartment/flat". In Germany, neither kitchens nor bathrooms are counted as rooms. It is quite the norm for a "Einzimmerwohnung" to consist of a hallway, a bathroom, a kitchen and a combined living- and bedroom. Not having a separate kitchen would be named "mit Kochnische", which translates as "kitchenette". The term "Wohnung" is seldomly used for these combinations, here the terms "Einzimmerapartment" or "Wohnstudio" are commonly used.
In contrast to the english or american way to define residential structures by counting bedrooms, rooms are counted quite differently; as already stated, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, pantries, and suchlike are non-rooms. Only living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and suchlike count. Rooms have to be above a certain size (10 m², about 108 ft²), else they're counted only als half rooms ("halbe Zimmer"). 
Communal bathrooms or kitchens are only found in dorms or similar structures, but not in apartments/flats. Outside toilets are a thing of the past, they used to exist in low-rent pre-WW-I buildings (late 19th/early 20th century), but have been abolished quite thoroughly some decades ago.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.209.89.223 (talk) 22:28, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: The article does not provide any etymology.  I have always understood the term 'studio' to refer to what originally was flats in repurposed industrial buildings, where there were no internal walls. When industry moved away, these houses were left empty, and were modified into studios for artists -- basically one enormous room, with lots of windows for daylight (as required by old manufacturing shops).   Later, that term was reused for what is basically a small and (literally) single room apartment, with modern standards for ceiling height, not the 1.5 x or 2 x heights the original industry often needed.  But that is based on US conditions -- it would be interesting to know if other countries debeloped the same term independently, or of it was 'they call this a studio in the US, let's do the same here!' The entry for Sweden, for example, gives the impression that 'studio' is used in Sweden ... but I can't remember ever having seen this type of room even being called anything but 'single room apartment'.

thread_title:  Removal of ITV PLC logo 

message: I've removed the logo for ITV plc at the top of this article and seen it put back(!), despite an explanation. So to make clear...
This article covers the entire ITV network, which is *not* the same thing as the company ITV plc or their channel- officially called "ITV".
Despite ITV plc's use of the name, they do not own the entire ITV network- which still includes the two STV channels- and are not synonymous with it.
In short, the logo for ITV plc and their "ITV" channel are not the logo for the ITV network and should not be used as such here.
Thank you.

Also the REDIRECT in the Kurdistan (disambiguation) is also wrong. It should be Kurdistan Region of Iraq or Iraqi Kurdistan.

Such a term is not used in Iraq anymore. Here is the reference to the name of the region in the new constitution of Iraq:
CHAPTER ONE: REGIONS
Article 113:
First: This Constitution shall approbate the region of Kurdistan and its existing regional and federal authorities, at the time this constitution comes into force.
Article 137:
Legislation enacted in the region of Kurdistan since 1992 shall remain in force, and decisions issued by the government of 
the region of Kurdistan - including court decisions and agreements - shall be considered valid unless it is amended or 
annulled pursuant to the laws of the region of Kurdistan by the competent entity in the region, provided that they do 
not contradict with the constitution.

Talk:Nasalization

message: Does anyone know the nasalization patterns in Am.E?
I've been thinking about this. I live in a French Territory and listening to English speakers speaking French, I get the impression that most English vowels are nasalised, to a greater or lesser degree. American more than English and Irish less than both.
:I've noticed vowel nasalization since reading this. Luciano Canepari mentions this partial allophonic nasalization in reference to thanking here. As for non-allophonic nasalization, I couldn't say for sure, but if that's what you're hearing it's definitely dialectal and would have to depend on where the Americans are coming from. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 09:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Disambiguation

message: Is nasalisation actually used with this assimilative meaning? Is "diachronic nasalisation" (which only has a very limited number of hits on Google)? My doubts stem from this discussion.
As Akerbeltz says, in the Irish (and French) case we'd be talking about an assimilation process, but, mind, this doesn't necessarily make it the same thing as assimilation, which is a term covering a much larger number of phenomena.
LjL (talk) 21:25, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The term is not referring to a specific process, such as the movement of place of articulation indicated by the assimilative sense of "palatization," but simply the bestowing of an extraphonetic characteristic of nasality or semi-nasality. That is, in the same sense as, "voiceless consonants devoice preceding vowels by assimilation." In other words, unlike with palatization, there is no assimilative sense, separate from the extraphonetic sense, at play here. LokiClock (talk) 23:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
