Talk:Hovenweep National Monument

thread_title: Comments welcome

message: I just modified the sentence: President Warren G. Harding proclaimed Hovenweep a unit of the National Park System on March 2, 1923.  Even though National Parks and the National Park Service were well established in 1923, the term "National Park System" was created by the National Park System General Authorities Act of 1970 (Pubic Law 91–383 (August 18, 1970) / 84 Stat. 825 / 16 USC 1a-1). — Eoghanacht talk 15:01, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Park System"

message: I've moved the following to the discussion tab for the following reasons:
::"===Navajo and Ute nations===
::Nomadic Southern Athapaskan speaking peoples, given the name Navajo by the Spanish, succeeded the Pueblo people in this region by approximately AD 1620 to 1650.  Ute tribal groups also frequented this region, primarily during hunting and raiding activities.  The modern Navajo Nation lies southeast of Hovenweep, and many Navajo (more appropriately known as the Diné) live in surrounding areas, particularly near the San Juan River."
1) If the Ute and Navajo did not want to travel on the land of the Hovenweep ruins, it's not a great idea to suggest that they might have lived there.
2) Having a hard time finding credible citations for this information.
3) I wonder if the original point of this paragraph was that they lived in the area, which was true - just possibly not at Hovenweep.
Any thoughts about this?  Credible sources?  Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 06:13, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Etch-A-Sketch

message: It would be GREAT if someone could compile a good list of "The Etch-A-Sketch In Popular Culture", possibly to place in this article as a sub-section. I know that it is featured in the movie Elf, for one, and it probably shows up in many various other places. --Edlin2|Talk 07:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Though, Austin R. Kelk - fmr. Chairman of the Kelton Corporation - also claims to be the creater of the Etch-a-Sketch. 
Google shows no non-Wikipedia-derived hits for "Austin R. Kelk"; Kelk etch-a sketch; Kelk Kelton corporation. There's also no mention of any claim from Kelk on any of the linked resources. Kelton Corporation appear to have marketed etch-a-sketch in Canada, but that's all. --194.73.130.132 10:10, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I owned an Etch-A-Sketch once, the normal near-A4 size one. I also owned a keyring-sized one, and I'm sure I've seen special giant ones somewhere. Could the keyring-size be smushed in somewhere?
Also has anyone heard of Magna Doodle? I don't know how it works, but it's a drawing tool like Etchy that has a stylus and probably works with magnets. My cousin also owned something that appeared to use the stylus to turn on and off various lights on another drawing tool.

Talk:Palauan language

message: Katakana is listed as an orthography of Palauan, and Palauan is listed in the katakana article as being used in Palauan, but no description is given in this article. Wakablogger2 (talk) 09:37, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Katakana 

message: The only references to "Angaur" or "Angaurese" as languages or varieties are briefly and in passing.  More explicitely, the 1945 John Useem article "The Changing Structure of a Micronesian Society" (American Anthropologist, Vol. 47, No. 4, pp. 567-588), describes the "Angaurese" people as speaking (or losing abilities to speak in)  "Palau".  Because it thus seems that Angaur(ese) is either a dialect or a synonym for Palauan, we should merge the incredulous-toned content at Angaur language here.  — Æµ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɛ̃ɾ̃ˡi] 19:24, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge proposal

message: In the word order section,  we write:
:
And then give an example:
:
Where pro is the 1st person pronoun that can be dropped.
Did we get confused here?  So far as I can tell, there is no word pro in this language, and although the consonant cluster /br/ is pronounced [pr], it is still always spelled br and there is no sign of a word pro, bro, or even something like buro in this very thorough dictionary of the language.  I wonder if somebody misread a linguistic abbreviation PRO as if it were an actual Palauan word.
Thoughts?
—Soap— 15:57, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: pro is indeed just an abstract notation here, there is no word "pro"; the actual pronoun that would appear here—if Palauan were not pro-drop—is ngak 'I'. So you say: Ak milenga er a ringo, not **Ak milenga er a ringo a ngak (ak already expresses 'I', like the o in Spanish tengo—Spanish is optionally pro-drop, so you can also say yo tengo). The whole paragraph is fixated on a debate among theoritical linguists about the deep structure of Palauan, which is probably not of great interest to our readers. And the way it is written now (unglossed), it's not really intelligible. I'll think of how to rewrite it in a more accessible and non-theoretical language. –Austronesier (talk) 16:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay thank you.  Writing it in small caps helps a lot; the fact that it was spelled out as a normal word was all it took to make me think it was real.  —Soap— 18:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Big Flame (political group)

message: To call Big Flame "quasi-Maoist" or "soft Maoist" would be a bit wide of the mark. The Wikipedia entry appears to have been written by someone who has no real knowledge of that organisation. It's true it was associated on an international level with groups that originally came out of the Maoist tradition (France, Spain, Denmark and above all Lotta Continuain Italy) but I read their paper and magazine and was a member for about a year. I never saw any icon of Mao, Little Red Book or anything like that in the pages of their publications or at any meeting or conference of BF.They may well have been uncritical of Maoist China but the organisation contained quite a few individuals from an anarchist background or from the libertarian scene ( the same one which produced the Angry Brigade) of local papers, claimants unions etc- people like Lyn Segal. I'm afraid the fact that a group calling itself libertarian Marxist does not necessarily lead onto joining the Socialist Unity grouping, as the entry seems to imply.

message: Big Flame was an important part of my political development. I don't recognize it from the piece published here. It's tone is all knowing and written from three hundred miles away. We brought our experiences to the group and there was a meeting of hearts and minds that was not crushed by dogma. I think that our theories helped us hear about the experiences of others, and to have a flexible, theoretically informed politics. Big Flame meetings were some of the most democratic places I have ever been; I remember a shared expectation that everyone could be heard. Mark Joseph 11:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ereshkigal

message: Why does the caption define the relief as “infamous”? Goochelaar (talk) 14:45, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I originally described the relief as infamous because the relief is highly controversial and there is a great scholarly deal of debate regarding who it is supposed to represent. Some scholars think it represents Inanna. Some think it represents Ereshkigal. Some even insist that it represents the demon Lilith. The image has also, unfortunately, become widely circulated on the internet in association with the pseudohistorical claims of the nineteenth-century writer Alexander Hislop. I have now removed the word "infamous" from the caption since you found the word so confusing. I assure you, I had no intention to sow any form of confusion when I wrote it. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:06, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Infamous

message: Samuel Noah Kramer's translation of the cuneiform states that Inanna was hung from a stake before receiving the food and water of life, I have changed the text to reflect this unless a different source is produced to state otherwise. Desdinova (talk) 22:15, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume you are referring to Kramer's 1961 translation from his book Sumerian Mythology, which, in this particular instance, would appear to be outdated. Kramer and Wolkstein's 1983 translation in Inanna: Queen of Heaven and Earth reads, "Inanna was turned into a corpse, A rotting piece of meat, And was hung from a hook on the wall." The section in this article is cited to the more recent translation available on the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature website, which reads, "The afflicted woman was turned into a corpse. And the corpse was hung on a hook." I have read multiple sources which describe it as a meat hook. The "stake" interpretation seems to be an old one that is no longer supported by current scholarship. --Katolophyromai (talk) 22:50, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quacks like a duck department 

message: My understanding, after participating in debate about spoilers, is that in the CAST section, female characters are to be listed under their maiden name only, so their marriage is not spoiled. For many years this has been the case, but I see now all female characters have all last names listed, which is not how it should be. I would have to find the article but I know for a fact it was agreed nowhere on any media page, not just this one, that marriages of characters are not to be spoiled in the cast sections. I went ahead and removed the married names from female characters in the cast list. Daleylife (talk) 22:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

text: Characters should be listed under their WP:COMMONNAME – if a character was unmarried for the first 5 seasons of a TV series, and married only for, say, the last two seasons, then they should almost certainly be listed under their unmarried maiden name (etc.) as that was the predominant common name over the entire span of the series. In general, I think characters should usually be listed under the predominant name from early in the series – an exception might be a character that was unmarried for a TV show's first season, but then was married for the remainder of the series: in a case like this, you would likely list the character by their married name. (Note: In some cases, characters' common names don't even include their surname(s)...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 05:11, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
