Talk:Geography of Ghana

message: I recently made an OMC map of Togo for the Geography of Togo article and noticed, while consulting other maps, including those already in the article, that there seems to be a disagreement over the alignment of the border between Togo and Ghana. The question is about the land inside an oxbow found at 9°38′N 0°18′E (see map).
OMC shows this as part of Togo, as do the relief map in the article and the CIA map in the main Togo article, but GoogleEarth says that it's part of Ghana, with the border cutting across the neck of that bit of territory. This is also what the satellite image shows. GoogleEarth also says that there is a village there called Butoe. Is it Ghanaian or Togolese?
Would anyone happen to know whether this represents an ongoing territorial dispute between Togo and Ghana, or perhaps a recent border change agreement? Or is it simply a mistake made by a mapmaker somewhere? I would appreciate any light that anyone could shed on this question, as I would like to adjust the OMC map accordingly. Also, if one of those political situations that I mentioned actually is the case, I think the Togo and Ghana articles should mention it.
Thanks.Kelisi 19:30, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't offer much help with this... though looking at few geoname databases, it would seem Butoe is associated with Ghana. The border in existing maps either seems to follow the river Oti or takes a short-cut - I'm not sure if there is any preference either way. I believe the border data GMT comes with  is a rather old version of World Data Bank II (CIA Data Bank; WDB), and I know there a few errors here and there. I would assume that's the case also here... I used GMT to make the topographic maps, so I have very likely used the same border data than you. You could try asking people at Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps – I think some of those guys have access to commercial/newer (hopefully better) data and might know which version is correct.

Talk:Dirty War

message: As has already been claimed by other users, the term "Dirty War" is highly offensive given the assymetry of the sides within the conflict. Within the article itself is a quote from Estela de Carlotto: "[That term] is a way to minimize state terrorism and is a term born outside the country. It is a totally wrong concept; there was no war, dirty nor clean." 
Argentinians use the term "State Terrorism" and the article should be revised. 190.190.209.118 (talk) 18:14, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Daphnis (moon)

message: In Liddell & Scott, Greek nominative daphnis, genitive daphnidos: bayberry, bay-tree (laurel tree). 
"Daphnis" (daf'-nis) is cognate with the name Daphne (daf'-nee), Greek daphnê, the nymph named after the laurel tree. There does not appear to be an adjectival form of Daphnis in English, but the regular derivation would be from the Greek genitive, so we could expect Daphnidian (daf-nid'-ee-un). The English adjectival form of Daphne in the dictionaries, by contrast, is "Daphnean" (daf'-nee-un), from Greek daphnaios, Latin daphnæus.

For example: "Lucia, Angella, and Maria thrive on dissolving the barriers between art forms.""A 1997 MTV appearance on Bryan Adams' "Unplugged" program led to the development of "Ahn-Plugged," which typifies the excitement and energy of the Ahn Trio. Mostly recently, they have created their own label, L.A.M.P (Lucia Angella Maria Productions), to allow them greater freedom to further explore the new, cutting edge projects they have always pursued.

:I think it should probably be at Princess Margarete of Prussia since that was her birth name and how she's usually named in books.
