Talk:Rabanus Maurus

message: The section on art is singularly vague, uninformative, incorrect, and almost pejorative--clearly written by someone who never actually looked at De Laudibus and has no knowledge of the Cult of the Cross and figure poems. Perhaps there is a Rabanus officinado who cares to remove the text and rewrite it completely.Drmies (talk) 04:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've deleted the section--the relevant information was already in the article, and I've moved the URL leading to images of De laudibus to the notes. Drmies (talk) 16:25, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Art? 

message: My Latin is not perfect, but wouldn't a more proper translation be "On things of Nature"? Lucretius' work "De Rerum Natura" translates to "On the nature of things" and I believe I have read that in order both to distinguish the two and in accordance with proper grammar, this work is often translated "On things of Nature" or "Of things of nature".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.151.3 (talk) 16:27, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Buon Sangue

message: I have just changed the link Italian in the Infobox to point to Italy. The reason is that links should not point to disambiguation pages. However, it is not clear to me whether Italian in this case should indicate nationality (Italy), language (Italian language), or culture (Italian culture). I just realize that there is an article Italian hip hop, to which Italian rap redirects - I will link there. If this is not intended, please change it appropriately.

message: Thank you, faithful Dragonlance fans, for not knowing the definition of a Summary or Synopsis. Thanks to you, I had the first bit of the book spoiled, because you people feel the need to put a point by point of every single event in.

message: Hello! I am a current student in the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto and will be contributing to this wiki page as part of an assignment on which I will be graded. Any comments, edits or critiques of my contributions are welcomed! I have added a definition of “tactical media’ according to author Rita Raley to the introductory paragraph to help make the intro more understandable and less technical.  Further, I felt the article was missing some information about Rita Raley and her text of the same title so I added a paragraph explaining her views as well as links to her work and links to other tactical media groups she mentioned throughout the book. I also added some links and citations to various media outlets & activist groups.  Thanks --Cmazzotta (talk) 21:48, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Talk:Rekhta

message: Hindi is irrelevnt to this article. The word Rekhta itself is Persian and this terminology applies to Urdu and its Arabic-Persian based script. Szhaider 00:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your inquiry. Before, rewriting this article, I did some research on Rekhta. Along with being being the Persianisized version of Urdu, it also has other meanings. Rekhta was the name of the precursor of Hindi - Hindavi. This Hindavi was also known as Rekhta (literally  "Rough mixture"). The word was then applied to Hindustani, the unstandarized version of Hindi and Urdu, which is written in both scripts. Rekhta is also considered a variant of Hindi (Ethnologue) and is listed as such in the Hindi article. In light of these facts, Devanagari is very relevant and will stay on this article. Also, for your information, I did not add the scripts. Kitabparast, a Pakistani, did. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 00:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: The article claims that Rekhta has "very versatile vernacular, and can grammatically change to adapt to Persian grammar, without sounding odd to the reader" however the corresponding source makes no mention of that (the link is broken but even looking at an archived version doesn't tell us anything. I'm simply wondering how we should go about verifying the claim, which by itself seems reasonable but obviously cannot sit on the article without confirmation.

thread_title: Screwed-Up Redirect

message: ". The famous "Thin Red Line" of the 93rd (Highland) Regiment at the Battle of Balaklava successfully held against a Russian cavalry attack, a rare occurrence."
There was nothing rare about a line defeating cavalry. The only way cavalry can defeat a properly supported line is of the troops are poorly trained and psychologically break when charged, which is the entire point of cavalry. They don't use squares because a line can't stand cavalry, but because the cavalry can go around the flank of a line and attack them from the rear. You can't do that with a square. If they didn't do that to the Thin Red Line or was because their flanks were properly supported, and in that case there was nothing unique about them standing their ground and fending off cavalry. Every infantry line that was ever broken by cavalry was broken either because they failed to stand fast or the cavalry went around them . Idumea47b (talk) 20:27, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Renaissance 2010

message: I think this article fails to point out issues raised by labor unions and other organizations regarding Renaissance 2010, while glorifying it.

replies: text: The criticism section was still hilariously NPOV.  Some statements were grossly misrepresenting what was in their citations.

Talk:Yamaguchi Prefecture

message: I'd like to add to the infobox the prefectural fish (puffer fish), the prefectural beast (Honshu deer), and the prefectural song ("Yamaguchi-kenmin no uta").
Also, while a graphic of the prefectural symbol is currently included in the infobox, that graphic alone is too abstract to understand at a glance.  It comes to life when you know that the symbol combines the two kanji for 'Yamaguchi', and is a stylized depiction of a bird flying towards the sun, representing unity and progress.  The symbol also serves as the prefectural flag, which might not be immediately obvious from just the label "prefectural symbol".
Also might be good to include the dates when these various prefectural tokens were formally defined/announced -- most were defined in the 1960's.
Any suggestions on how to work this material in?
