Talk:Shtriga

message: Shtrigas are horrid things... 
Those poor kids
i removed this sentence:
The only way to cure the victims was to kill the shtriga itself. 
because Durham (p. 87) says "She, and she alone, can heal the victim, who withers and pines as she secretly sucks its blood." if there's another source of equal quality that says otherwise, it should be cited. 65.95.37.175 22:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, it is silly. I removed it, because we do not need to state in every folk lore based article that "some people really believe in this".

Talk:1953 Ceylonese Hartal

message: I agree that this article is not neutral.  It would be nice to have an actual description of the Hartel events to go along with the polemic.  Certainly the point of view of the participants needs to be identified and expressed.   The only question is how to to that in a neutral, and encyclopedic way.  The author of this piece does include some contray POV in his discussion of how some treat the "Old Left".

replies: text: It says 500 SS 'and police' - the latter would have been indigenous collaborating police officers and probably not Germans (unless one means Sudetan Germans). The numbers would have tactical advantage in being able to form a wide cordon to cover all ways in and out of the village, stopping the way to anyone who wanted to come in and able to prevent successful escape attempts from the village. Some of the 500 would not have been in the cordon but deployed to search, arrest and execute. If in doubt, raise a citation need.Cloptonson (talk) 05:49, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

message: The following was on the page without citation.  It's probably useful information, but Wikipedia policy requires that it be supported by a public source (see Wikipedia:Verifiability).  I've left the bare bones of the article in place, but even that should have citations.
:As I,Manzoor Alam Kolachi,being one of the Kolachi tribe, I have heard from my forefathers that Mai Kolachi, an old lady migrated with her family from Kulanch to the area presently known as Karachi.The old name of Karachi was Kolachi-jo-Goth which means Village of Kolachi.  Kolachi tribe migrated to different places from Kulanch.On the invitation of Taj Muhammad Langah, the then Ruler of Multan, three families of Baloch tribes migrated to his area.Taj Muhammad Langah invited Baloch families to act as buffer between the people of Multan and Wazir Tribe of Pashtuns,who frequently tresspassed his area.  Those who migrated along with their families were Haji Khan Mirlani who settled in the area presently known as Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab, Pakistan;Ismail Khan Hot who settled in the area presently known as Dear Ismail Khan in  the N.W.F.P, Pakistan; and the third was Fateh Khan Kolachi who settled in area known as Dera Fateh Khan Kolachi which was inundated by River Indus with the passage of time.  Kolachis had been ruling the area and Tehsil Kulachi,in N.W.F.P, Pakistan bears witness to their rule.  Kolachi tribe while in their rule over the area had fights with Sikhs,the British forces, and with the Wazirs.  After losing a fight with the Gandapur, a  Wazir Tribe, they lost control over the area and dispersed into the lower lands of Dera Ghazi Khan.  Later on, when a Baloch tribe of Talpurs from Tibi Talpur, Punjab, Pakistan took control over Sindh, many Baloch families including Kolachi families relocated to Sindh.  Presently Kolachi tribe concentrates in Ghotki and Mirpur Mathelo in Sindh Pakistan.  Few families live in Larkana, Khairpur,Karachi,and Sibi in Balochistan.  Three Kolachi families have migrated to Canada and live in Windsor and Toronto, Ontario.

However, according to the Beam Suntory website (e.g., http://www.beamsuntory.com/brands/hibikisupsup-whisky and https://beamglobal.s3.amazonaws.com/sites/505757e5851916549a000002/theme/pdfs/pdfs/Brands_List_043014.pdf) all of those brands appear to be Beam Suntory products. I don't see any justification for the continued separate categorization here between the Japanese brands (and the former-Suntory non-Japanese brands) and the Beam brands.

message: "As it is extremely sweet, Midori is rarely consumed by itself"
Really? That strikes me as somewhat surprising. Nearly all liqueurs are pretty sweet, and many of them are drunk straight. I know that mixed drinks containing midori are popular, but that's a far cry from saying that drinking it straight is 'rare'.
(Oh, and since I'm commenting anyways, I'll also mention this: I actually like the picture as it is, since it clearly shows that the green colour is from the liquid itself, rather than a green bottle.) 209.90.134.251 (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

The article fails to mention production in France and makes the unsourced statement that the commencement of production in Mexico replaced Japanese production of the product. I highly doubt that Japanese production has ceased not least because I am currently drinking premixed "Illusions" from Suntory Australia Pty Ltd which are labelled as having the following contents: "carbonated water, sugar, midori liquer (19%) (imported from Japan), vodka (1.0%), pineapple juice from concentrate (0.5%), food acid (330), flavours, colours (133, 102), preservative (211)"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.17.174 (talk) 04:27, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
