message: The latitudes of the islands Izu-Oshima, Toshima, Nii jima and Miyake jima as specified in Wikipedia have at least one error, possibly more. More northerly islands are shown with lower numeric valued latitudes. The corresponding Longitudes are also suspect. My knowledge of Japanese geography is limited to admiring postcards of the bullet train in front of Fujiyama, so I cannot assist in resolving this error. Would someone who KNOWS FOR SURE which island is which, and where, correct this? This comment repeated for all four entries as above.

Talk:Principality of Achaea

message: Er...what is the point of a table like that? I mean, "contemporary regnal name"? It's just their regular name. It's not like the Table of Chinese monarchs where they actually have several distinct names. This table seems unnecessarily complicated; I've fixed it up to make it somewhat less ugly, but I don't think it even needs to be there at all. Adam Bishop 03:46, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: The second half of this article was as dense and difficult as anything I've come across on Wikipedia. I've tidied up some of the language and added a few details to clarify matters where the narrative became opaque. Unfortunately, there were some rank inaccuracies in there, too. And I can't be at all sure that there aren't still more. What date did John of Durazzo transfer his claim to Catherine of Valois, for example? Another page says 1332.
I'm afraid that I agree with the above criticism of the chart, not so much for its alternative nomenclature  —- though that seems superfluous —- but because it isn't integrated with the information in the article, particularly in the dating. In the article we have "John of Durazzo", but in the table "John of Gravina", another of his titles. And the Spanish claimants seem left out altogether. In fact, the table favours the Angevins, several of whom never bothered with the place in person, and omits some individuals who were active on the ground in the principality, exercising their claims. It's hardly possible, anyway, to make a neat, linear table of such a messy sequence of contrasting claims, many of them carried through female lines.

I changed the word "believe" to "belie", correcting an obvious typo. However, the word "believe" was very quickly reinstated by some busybody whose username now escapes me. I find this very silly.

text: Leave it redirected (even when that kills the VfD notice). We want readers to be bold.  As always, we are voting on the article as it exists right now.  That's why the timestamp on signatures is so important.  And also why many people say things like "keep current version".  Yes, it can be confusing but it's resulted in some dramatically improved articles.

Talk:City Road

message: I do hope that my cack-handed attempts at helping with this excellent beginning have not cheesed off its previous editors too much. I am pretty sure that the changes I have made are correct in terms of pure geography, but I might nip round at a lunchtime and check one or two assertions. Other things, like "North Rd" and "in the west", that I changed, I'd defend more vigorously. North Rd was just wrong, I believe - I don't think there is one round there, in fact the nearest one's up by Cally Park. The contributor may well have been thinking of NEW North Road (that lovely thoroughfare) but that doesn't actually hit City Road either - it veers off before the bottom and the actual connection is made one way by East Rd and the other way by various piddly little streets like Vestry Rd. The "in the west" thing wasn't exactly wrong, just wrongish - I know what was meant, but it was perhaps a touch unhelpful because it's absolutely not in the west of London as a whole, only in the west of the span (?) of this particular road, so I thought my attempt might be a bit clearer. I will of course apologise prettily if I can be proven wrong on this stuff! I'm rabbiting on too much now aren't I? Oh dear. :) --Nevilley 11:50, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Kunyomi

message: :The Kunyomi reading system is characterized by its balanced consonant-vowel structure (similar to that of Spanish).
What is meant by this phrase? If it just means that vowels and consonants alternate, isn't that nothing but a consequence of the Japanese syllabary, applying just as much to onyomi? I may be wrong, but in either case this sentence needs clarifying or reworking.
--AlexChurchill 13:32, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)
:I would guess that what was meant was that on'yomi usually consist of exactly two mora: one "ordinary" consonant-vowel mora plus one of あいうえん.  As opposed to kun'yomi which most of the time have a pure alternating pattern.  E.g. 東: on'yomi tō, kun'yomi higashi.  Or 雷: on'yomi rai, kun'yomi kaminari.  See what I mean?  The same pattern fits in most cases: it's what allows us to guess whether a compound is on' or kun' by sound even if we've never heard it before (though I'd never actually realized it before reading this article :).  I agree that the article needs to be clarified, though. --Shibboleth 15:50, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
