Talk:Caradoc

message: I changed the reference to Caradoc Freichfras as a "historical" ancestor to the kings of Gwent to "semi-legendary," because his existance is no more certain than King Arthur's. Caradoc appears in no contemporary historical account; his pedigree, which makes him the son of Llyr, the name of a Welsh sea and ancestral god, is suspect; and the possible confusion between him and such figures as Caratacus (who is firmly historical) makes his very existance questionable.

thread_title:  Historicity of Caradoc 

message: The H pronounciation of English, ie British , was pronounced in latin as C.  An example is the Cund (dog) becomes Hund or Hound in English. Cent becomes hunt, ie hundred in English.  Clearly the same occured with Harold which was written as Carold or Carodoc.  Carodoc (son of Tasi) was the last British King of the Cattivellauni before the conquest by the Romans. This demonstrates the fact the the English (ie Britons) were in Britain long before the Romans or Anglo Saxons, and were closer related in language to the so-called Celts of Western Britain at that time.--92.3.146.137 (talk) 11:00, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Highland Railway

message: I agree with the above - whoever wrote it. The Highland Railway proper had a very limited area insofar as its tracks went. The talk about the three Lines is mixing up the modern usage of the system with the historical one - for eaxample the Far North Line is simply the name given by today's operating company, and is not part of the history of the line. 
 
It is therefore much better to treat this as an historical article - after all the Railway ceased existence as such in 1923, and to finish by saying .... "today the still existing HR lines are operated etc etc". I have changed the opening sentence to be a broader statement, and have then put the openings in a chronological order.

Talk:Avenue of the Arts (Philadelphia)

message: Two points:
*Is there a Glenwood Avenue in Center City? In all the time I've spent there I've never run into one, not anywhere near City Hall, certainly.
*"Avenue of the Arts" refers as much to South Broad Street itself as it does to a section of CC, and this should be noted in the intro. to avoid confusion.

replies: text: To (partially) answer my own question: This page is based on the definition given by Avenue of the Arts, Inc. (here), according to which the district extends north of City Hall (all the way to Temple, in fact) as well as south. I'm not sure if this fits neatly with popular interpretation of "Avenue of the Arts," but there it is. I still don't see Temple as part of Center City, but who knows, they're changing the boundaries all the time anymore... --18:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah i never did understand why they did that, with the exception of PAFA, they really have nothing to do with anything north of City Hall, though some of that has to do with the the convention center expansion i guess. Any way most people when they think of the Ave on the arts, or at least me, would say it's South Broad, from City Hall to South.  If you can think of a better working for the intro though, go for it. As for Glenwood Ave, their is one in the city, but the one i am awre of is no where near CC, it runs parrell to the NEC/Amtrak from 32nd in Brewerytown to about 2nd in West Kensignton area --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 08:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Am I the only one who thinks the list of Popular destinations is way too long?  Does the fact that there is currently a CVS on South Street add any useful information to the page?  This list feels terribly unencyclopedic (Walnut Street is even worse).  I think it would be better to have a paragraph or two about clubs or shops that have historically added to the culture of the area.

thread_title:  Yikes!!! 

message: If this is printed this way, Снова в СССР, or in upper case as СНОВА В СССР, then it is pronounceable, after a fashion, as English, since it appears to read "Choba".
But if you display it in mixed case italic, Снова в СССР, as the template does, then the letter В turns into God knows what, from the perspective of a typical person who does not read any Cyrillic language.
So I have changed the Cyrillic in its Roman equivalent, which is pronounceable by the average reader.

replies: text: What matters in an encyclopedia is visual recognition, not whether you think people can pronounce it.  Снова в СССР looks closer to what is printed on the album cover, and matches the title of the Wikipedia article.

Talk:Past teachings of Prem Rawat/Archive 2

message: You keep quoting snippets from Maharaji's satsang, extrapolating speech acts and paraboles as the one he made in regard of "doctor of the mind" and stating these to be taken literally. This is an silly exercise to push an anti-Maharaji POV, and unacceptable. At least accept the need to provide context. ≈ jossi ≈ 21:49, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
:Jossi, okay, I will link to the speech to provide context so the reader can himself decided whether it is a parabole. The problem is that I think that the ""context" that you provide is a revisionist interpretation of the past. I rather prefer no context than your revisionism. This applies to many other assertions in the article.Andries
::Let us provide facts and context, and let the reader decide if it is revisionism or not. Hope you can accept that premise (that btw it is one the the foundations upon which the wikipedia project is built upon). What you are trying to do is "spoon feed" the readerss your own interpretations and POVs. In my view, people are by nature intelligent enough to make up their own mind and make their own assessments about Maharaji, his work, his history and his message.  I know that you don't share that view, and that is a sorry state of affairs IMO.  ≈ jossi ≈ 04:32, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)
::Hey Andries, context is everything ... in particular when quoting someone. That is if your intention is to provide accurate information. If your intention is spin, then quote out of context as much as you want ... Look at the mess at the last US presidential elections. Both sides used out of context quotes to denigrate their oponents! 
:: An honest researcher will quote and include context as follows:
::#Date of quote;
::#Source;
::#Location, environment, country;
::#Situation (was the quote from an interview, a public address, a comment made and noted by a third party, etc?.);
::#Language (is it a translation?, a transcription, a written piece by the author, etc?);
::#Background of obviousness (is the quote relatable in one culture as oppossed to another culture?)
::Adding a link to a page of text is not sufficient context IMO. 
::As an example for the need of context (in the domain of culture, in this case), have you seen the wonderful advertisement (I have seen them in Heathrow airport, London/) in which a photo of three grasshoppers are shown and underneath each one, the words: "Plague", "Pet", and "Delicacy"?

I have been listening to Maharaji for over thirty years and the core teaching, that there is peace within each person and that he can show them how to get to it, has never changed.  So I went in and edited Andreies recent addition by changing a few words to reflect my feelings and experience on this matter. Chuck J 21:10, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The luxury vs. non-luxury question is not really clear-cut with regard to Chrysler.  Traditionally it was considered a luxury brand, but stretching down into the top of the standard class with the Newport.
