Talk:Pantala Naga Pampa

message: I'm in an awkward position w/r/t WP:OR on this one. In 2002, I was the one who had the conversation with the band representative regarding the meaning of the phrase. But I reported it on another website at the time (back when Wikipedia was just a thing that Larry Sanger had asked me to write an entry for about DMB), so I don't think that this violates WP:OR. What I'm trying to get across here is not that the phrase actually means "I have a python in my pants," but that it has been employed by the band with the belief that it means just that. It would also be helpful to be able to actually verify the meaning, but the state of automated translation between English and Sanskrit is just so crude, and once one considers the different alphabets and the set of synonyms (here are 12 different words for "snake") and potential for small translation errors, the obstacle becomes overwhelming for anybody other than somebody who speaks both languages.
Complicating things, I was told merely that it's "Indian," not that it's Sanskrit. It was only the research that I did at the time that allowed me to determine that Sanskrit was the most likely language, primarily because I was already familiar with the word "nāga" meaning "snake." --WaldoJ (talk) 22:11, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you for noting your concerns! It can be very difficult to determine point of origin when a website has the same content as a Wikipedia page. I've done some evaluation, and with the information we have, we can't really disprove copying of part of the contents of the page. The truly problematic paragraph was added here. It was added all in one piece and without any sourcing whatsoever. The archived version of the external source does not extend far back enough to verify copying on our part, but it doesn't fall so short as to verify copying on theirs, either. Since there have been no changes to that text to show natural evolution, I next looked at our articles corresponding to other listings on their page. No content is duplicated. If they copied from Wikipedia, they would have copied only that one paragraph, which seems unlikely. Under the circumstances, I've removed the problematic paragraph from our article. The rest of the content is, I believe, independently developed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:04, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Base commander

message: The position of Base Commander is normally given to the highest ranking officer of the highest echelon tenet unit at a particular US Army post. Example: The base commander of Fort Bragg is the Commander, XVIII Airborne Corps. The position alluded to in the present article is the Commander, US Army Garrison, Fort _____________. This is the person who runs the daily operations of the base with the personnel also assigned to the Garrison. Upon deployment of some or all of the tenet units (it can vary depending on the base size), the Garrison Commander MAY become the Base Commander if needed. There are some bases where the Garrison Commander is also the Base Commander because the Garrison is the only unit present. Example: Garrison Commander, Camp Grayling is also the Base Commander. I recommend that this article be deleted as it confuses these two positions. This article tries to make the position comparable to an assigned position when in truth the highest ranking officer physically at the base is the de facto base commander.
