Talk:Zons

message: I translated the corresponding article in the German Wikipedia as requested in March 2009. Feel free to polish the English. In advance my apologies to the blazon experts: I wasn’t taught that kind of “language” at school. I didn’t include the local legend about the "Schweinefehde" (War of Pigs) as it isn’t mentioned in the corresponding article; it is obviously without importance to the Germans. Anyone volunteering to write about the War of Pigs? My next task on the list is to translate the article about  Friedestorm Castle in Zons http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Friedestrom !

Talk:Almaqah

message: When the Sabaean campaign started (from the Temple of the moon by warrior priests), the Moon god Yeha-Sin was already worshipped in most of South Arabia, along with other deities.  While the campaign was directed at Awsan rising political power.  The temple of the moon was more focused on taxation & rising revenue for the state centralized in the Temple of the moon, taking away power from the religiously diverse smaller regional polities that were allied to Awsan.

This includes non-Latin punctuation such as the characters in Unicode's CJK Symbols and Punctuation block.

Talk:Dandan noodles

message: The chinese characters given are 担担麵.
Now 担 is 'dan' and 麵 is 'noodles'/'mein'
but (though I am hardly an expert) I
thought that 担 was simplified and that
麵 was traditional.
 
So I would expect 担担面 (simplified) or
擔擔麵 (traditional). Please correct me
if I'm wrong about this.
----
google counts as of July 2006:
担担面 168,000 (both simplified)
担担麵  56,300 (simplified/traditional, as currently in article)
擔擔面 170,000 (traditional/simplified)
擔擔麵 227,000 (both traditional)
So not only is 担担麵 the least common
combination (according to google)
but the actual hits returned show
担担面. (At least for the first two
pages. There is a 担担麵 returned on
the top of page 3.)

thread_title:  Peanut butter and sesame paste 

message: shouldn't it be 'spicy hot' sauce? Spicy is ambiguous - in the context of flavor, it means "having a strong flavor" but might be used to describe hot (tasting) flavors. "Spicy sauce" isn't quite wrong, and I'm no expert with dandan flavor, but I suspect "spicy hot" is a more accurate description. (Whether the flavor has a mild, moderate, or strong 'heat', I suspect the spicyness means "heat". (burning sensation in oral (or nasal?) cavity.) 98.21.213.85 (talk) 21:51, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:S'ym

message: Of the alternate versions of the X-Men, S'ym only killed Colossus (as noted in my original text). In Uncanny X-Men #160, S'ym says, referring to Colossus's corpse, "Your buddy there is an example of S'ym's handiwork." In contrast, in the same issue, he says, "What happened to the midget? The last time S'ym saw him, he had meat on this adamantium bones. Pity. S'ym wanted Wolverine for himself." Alternate Nightcrawler was killed by alternate Kitty in Magik #2. Alternate Kitty was killed by Illyana in Magik #3. Alternate Storm was killed by Illyana in Magik #4. Therefore, Colossus was the only one killed by S'ym. --JamesAM 01:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's lots of room for interpretation here. It could be that S'ym killed Wolverine and began feeding on him, but was upset to see scavengers finished the job before he could. Still, you're right in that only Colossus' death was spelled out. Artemisboy 20:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Astrolite

message: From the "References" section, Hurst's usenet postings:
"Both of these mixtures are known as Astrolites, a trade name. Astrolite is a binary explosive, consisting of hydrazinium perchlorate and nitrate, when mixed. Some astrolites are made of only the perchlorate (the most powerful ones)."
This confirms my understanding that besides hydrazine nitrate, "Astrolite" usually contains hydrazine perchlorate -- what I remember from when I looked up the patent, maybe 25 years ago.  Hurst mentions other, more powerful formulations than A and G.  Also some articles in the popular press in the mid-60's referred to its use when absorbed in soil as "liquid land mine", the supposed advantage being that it would deactivate in a few days.  I think it was used experimentally in Vietnam.  This article needs to be rewritten by an expert. -Wfaxon 04:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Gerry no longer participates in internet discussions, unfortunately.  We never got him to give us a good reliable run-down of the various Astrolite mixes, and they tend not to be well documented in modern explosives literature either, since they're not used much anymore and considered a health hazard.  If you can find a professional expert who actually knows them, or a source which covers it well, be my guest...  Georgewilliamherbert 05:06, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Before this becomes a slow back-and-forth revert process, the article cited, and I'm sure in a few others I've read and could relocate if asked, have quoted Maher as identifying himself as gay, not bisexual. The article referenced also quotes Maher as quoting one of his agents as encouraging him to present himself as bisexual upon being told that Maher was gay. I think that might be what this about? I'm not sure. But I've read on several occasions Maher specifically identifying as gay. Also, I removed the mention of a previous relationship with the casting director as there was no source and I could not immediately find one. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 20:02, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Hong Kong categories are immediately subcategories of their corresponding by country categories (meaning of the English word country as used on Wikipedia, c.f. list of countries, :category:lists of countries, :category:categories by country, etc.). For navigational purposes, Hong Kong categories are at the same time subcategories of China or PRC categories  if they aren't mainland China-specific. If the China or PRC are mainland China-specific, then they're connected with the Hong Kong ones by wikilinks. The rule generally applies to topics involving human and cultural inputs, such as companies, buildings, however there are exceptions to purely natural features such as mountains and rivers. There have been attempts to properly title mainland China-specific categories, making them subcategories of PRC categories, such attempts have nevertheless been blocked by some certain users who refused to recognise the reality that distinctions do exist. — Instantnood 11:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
