Talk:Trans–New Guinea languages

message: hi. i would like to have this list split into a few more sections. i would do this myself; however, i am not sure of the difference between some of the terminology. like the differences in superstock vs. phylum vs. stock vs. superphylum. super- refers to the number of languages? or amount of branching? – ishwar  (speak) 08:44, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the distance of the relationship, repsumably as shown by % of cognate vocab. But keep in mind that the entire classification will likely prove spurious. kwami 23:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: list organization

message: Moved back to en dash, Trans–New Guinea, where it's been stable since March 2009. This follows the MoS, style guides such as the Atlantic Monthly, and several WP:RSs. (Ross uses a space, "Trans New Guinea", but that is generally avoided for prefixes.)
(Note that en dashes often don't show up in Google Books because they are not generally recognized by OCR. Also, hyphens are used as a substitute by people using typewriters and non-professional typesetting programs such as Word.) — kwami (talk) 23:01, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  title 

message: I see that Engan, Madang, etc. have been removed from Trans-New Guinea, following Usher. However, this is not universally accepted; we should at least put "Trans-New Guinea (?)" and not follow Usher in every single article. We need to synthesize and look at Wichmann's, Hammarstrom's, Pawley's classifications, etc. and discuss how they are different from Usher's. — Stevey7788 (talk) 19:27, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Minor Problem with the Maps

message: Why is this article name written with an en dash rather than a hyphen? We generally use hyphens for prefixes, cf. Indo-European and Proto-Germanic (and Trans-Neptunian object), but en dash when two names are combined, e.g. Tupi–Guarani languages or Niger–Congo languages. Is there a reason for doing this differently in this particular name? (, ) --Lundgren8 (t · c) 14:34, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Printer's devil

message: Quick google search reveals another, wholly different meaning: "There was a convenient belief among printers that there was a special devil in every print-shop.... At night, or when the printer was not watching, this pesky demon would iuvert letters, mizspell a word or perhaps remove an entire or even a complete line.... In the days of movable type, every letter had to be picked and placed by hand. Thin spacers, know as leading, were added to line everything up. Mistakes were inevitable, and the printer's devil took the blame. From: http://www.writersservices.com/mag/pos/poster_printers_devil.htm --Fuhghettaboutit 08:53, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: Surely the term merely refers to one who 'devils' for the printer, ie an apprentice, nothing to do with Satan. The term is also used in the law. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devilling
I have no source, but I always assumed the word's derivation was that apprentice's duties often included unpleasant chores, as in a 'devil of a job'.

two usable quotes that came up between all the nonsense on the main talkpage:
*Rajputs served under the British Raj, Bingley recalls "the story of the Queen’s own (Hindu) Rajputs (once the 31st) at Bhurtpore": 'Our troops carried the enemy’s position in gallant style; it was the finest ting I ever saw. Those 8,000 Afghans could not stand our 1200 men for an hour.'; A Matter of Honour, Philip Mason, , p. 356
*today,  "There are nearly 200 Muslim communities in India which, in many ways, are not yet wholly integrated into the "mainstream" Muslim society. Converted from the tribal or Hindu stock, they retain many features of their earlier life patterns, the system of belief and practices being Islamicised here and there, but retaining many of the clearly discernible features from the past, which they share with people of the same stock who are still in their original faith.", notable among them are Muslim Rajputs.

Talk:Awesome

message: This article has recently been vandalised many times, with someone adding three definitions of what he himself thinks is awesome, which is generally along the lines of "the drummer of band X is awesome! Awesome means that say a rubix cube is big, some one says THAT'S AWESOME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
What I'm adding is not 'silliness".  Awesomeness is a philosophical belief that is starting to sweep university campuses.  It does have a silly name, but it in itself is not silliness.  If you think about the ideology behind it, it does give a very good standpoint on life. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EncycloMan (talk • contribs).
