Talk:Share capital

message: The only comment I would make on the proposed merge, is that share capital includes both issued share capital and unissued share capital (and also treasury shares).  I think the topics (other than treasury shares, which already have their own article) are short enough that they can all squeeze into one article (which should logically be headed share capital, and just have sub-headings) but the two subjects are not the same thing.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Andrew Nellis

message: This page was deleted unfairly by the wikipedia admin. They say in their rules that consensus is required for the deletion of an article. Funny, there was no consensus here. The whole gang of morons who called for deletion were from one particular IRC channel on Dalnet (#atheism), although some were also from #memes. No consensus was reached. This article should come back immediately. Further discussion will be made in the deletion review page. Meanwhile this page is archived on anarchopedia's site.

Talk:Ethiopian order of battle in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War

message: What kind of Weapons did the Etiopians Have in this war?
: Kebir Zabanga or Imperial Guard were organized in modern military oganization and equipped with new Mauser rifles and German belts worn over a European-style khaki uniforms. Also heavy machineguns, 81mm mortars, mountain gun battery. Zabanga units of the provincial governors were usually better equipped than their local army troops also some with machineguns and artillery peices and often trained on European lines. 
: Ethiopian main army, Mahel Sefari and some other provinces (Gojjam, Sidamo) consisted of Selfegna, ordinary soldiers, equipped according to European standards. Their uniforms were, however, locally made, armed with whatever rifles were available, including modern Mausers, Mannlichers, Lebels, Lee-Metfords, Moisins and Italian Mannlicher Carcanos, as well as much older Vetterlis, le Gras and Marini-Henry guns.
:Machineguns were usually grouped in 2 to 4 weapons "platoons" and/or pack-artillery units could be attached, in uneven numbers to units. The artillery deployed mostly as individual direct-fire guns.
: Other provinces had a feudal organization of "gascegna" feudal or tribal warriors,armed with a shotel, the Ethiopian curved saber. Their costume consisted of a shamma, or length of cotton which served as a body and head covering, with jodhpur-style trousers. Photographic evidence indicates that most of these men were armed with guns of various types. Photographs of the officers in these armies appear carrying a particluar round sheild.

replies: text: Qegnazmach = "Qeny/Qegn" (ny/gn = ñ), meaning "right," + "Azmach" = "commander," i.e. commander of the right. It's one of the major divisions in traditional Ethiopian Military organization, where there was a commander of the right, of the left (Grazmach), of the front (vanguard = Fitawrari), and of the gate(Dejazmach). It's spelled as "Kenyazmach" in the Ethiopian aristocratic and court titles article (the "Q" represents IPA /k'/ which is spelled with a letter cognate to Latin "Q," and is sometimes spelled as "k" as shorthand, but more commonly as "k'" or "q"). — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 01:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Desta Damtew

text: One problem with Ethiopian dates is that the Ethiopian calendar is 7 to 8 years behind the Western/Georgian one the rest of the world uses (they start the calendar year on September 11, so right now it's 2001 EC until next month when it becomes 2002 EC). Sometimes EC years are accidentally given as the year AD/CE, or the two are confused at one point, & a secondary source makes what she/he thinks is the proper correction without having or looking for a way to verify the correction, & pushes the date further in the wrong direction. (The 1911 EB article on Lij Iyasu V, for example, made this mistake & stated his year of birth as 7 years too early.) -- llywrch (talk) 16:42, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Rubus strigosus

message: Wikified as part of the Wikification wikiproject!  JubalHarshaw 17:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed the image to the right, and its caption, because it looks like an ordinary commercial raspberry. Those are more likely to be hybrids than to be pure R. strigosus. The raspberry page has more explanation. Recently a number of more complex hybrids have become popular commercially, particularly some with yellow or purple fruit, but as far as I know the wild species still imparts a tendency for the fruit to fall apart, which makes commercialization difficult. The picture shows two fruit with the high thimble shape of commercial raspberries. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 23:38, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the correction. I took/added the photo, and can confirm they are commercial raspberries. When I couldn't find what type the company uses, I started going through various species and this seemed to be the closest match. For good reason, I suppose, but only half of a good reason :) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:53, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:German-based creole languages

message: I don't think Belgranodeutsch is a creole at all. Being a German Argentinian myself, I have heared it spoken a lot. Basically, it's just German mixed with some Spanish words. It has German grammar, and so could not be considered a German-based creole (for that it would need a non-German grammar). It is not based on any Pidgin, so can't be a creole. I propose that we seperate out the section on Belgranodeutsch into a seperate article. We could then add some information from the article w:de:Belgranodeutsch in the German Wikipedia.

replies: text: I came here today to ask just that question! I would think it could qualify, especially in it's earlier form. However, I don't know enough about either German or Hebrew/Aramaic to tell which language's grammar Yiddish follows. It may be more properly considered a dialect/derivitive of German. - BillCJ (talk) 20:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No way: Yiddish and German have a common ancestor, medieval High German, spoken by Christians and Jews exactly alike, who had lived together for centuries. Around 1348 Jews fled from socio-religious persecution to Poland, where their language evolved isolated from New High German. However, in 19th century the contact between the languages increased again, so that hybrids came about, sometimes becoming quite stable, such as Judendeutsch in the area inhabitated by Germans, Poles, Kashubs, and (originally Yiddish-speaking) Jews, controlled by Prussia. A true creole, however, requires that the speakers' former language be unrelated resp. less closely related. Suaheli may qualify. -- F. 92.75.108.179 (talk) 14:07, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The Analysis of a painting section reads like someone posted their Into to Art History paper. I posted a announcement for now and will look at it more closely soon to see what needs to go and what can stay. Feel free to edit before I get back. --Stomme 15:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Although my previous "essay" tag about the analysis of the painting was removed, I think it was still relevant. The text was clearly an interpretive essay of the work. Not bad for beginning art history essay writing, but not really encyclopedic. We don't need to lead into a narrative that slowly reveals the true meaning here. Certainly the removal of "The vivid colors of Patinir’s painting drove my selection of this work, while the intensity really caught my attention" makes it less obvious as such a paper, but It still followed the instructions given by many instructors of art history to discuss the formal qualities—line, color, etc. It goes on to give the wrong definition of repoussoir for this situation and to cite a web museum article that is not a very good source (almost certainly misattributed). Therefore, I rearranged, expanded and edited the write-up. I'm sure there are still some problems, but at least it's not an overly-interpretive mid-level art history essay anymore.--Stomme 17:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Empire (1973 video game)

message: For those of you who are unaware, this isn't the only game called Empire! Well, actually, there is only one called "'Empire!'", but the point I'm trying to make is there are loads of games with Empire as (and in) the title. As you might imagine, this can cause some trouble when choosing what to name each article and how to disambiguate them, and has, in practice, led to some rather unusual choices in some cases... Since it's probably best to consider all the games with Empire as the main part of the title at once when deciding how to rename a few of the worst offenders, this game has been included in a discussion on how to name (and rename) Empire titled games here. Please join in the discussion there and add any thoughts, comments or suggestions you may have. Thanks! --xensyriaT 15:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:David Ippolito

message: I created this article, so I want to say why I think this person is notable.  First, he absolutely fails WP:Band.  He has not been signed by a major label.  Although his CDs are sometimes available on Amazon, they are not why he's well-known.  
However, I think he is notable not for his music, but as a sort of New York attraction or icon.  He has been written about by the New York Times, New York Post, and apparently is fairly well-known by people in the city.  When he was ordered to unplug in 2000, the New York Times considered it significant enough to write an article, and people felt strongly enough about it to write letters to the editor.  So he does seem to be fairly well-known.  
In that regard, he is like The Naked Cowboy or other well-known New York performers - known more because he is a cultural attraction than because of the actual music.  (Though I will say that I like his music - it's just not really why he's famous).  As I see it, that differentiates him from the piles of autobiographical junk you see on here from "bands" and "artists" who are known only by their friends and who will fade off the scene in a few months or years.  
I'd say he's well enough known to be notable, but since he's known more as an "icon" than as a musician, there's not much objective evidence of notability (such as record sales) other than the press coverage.  Please let me know if you disagree. --TheOtherBob 17:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
