Talk:Closed class

message: Sorry, but this isnt clear at all to me. 
Are closed class words precisely all words in the categories listed (auxiliary verb, conjunction, determiner, preposition, pronoun)? Or are these just examples?
Yes, Jsherring, these are the categories normally given as closed class words. All the auxiliary verbs, for example,  can be listed as there are only so many of them and they are not added to, and in this way the list of auxiliary verbs may be considered closed. 
On the other hand open class morphemes such as nouns, adjectives, main verbs, adverbs and interjections are open precisely because the are being continuously added to by new words created, adopted and adapted from various sources, such as foreign word adaptations; scientific, technological and medical usages; and of course in and cult words.
I am sorry, I can see now that the article needs some refining, which I will attend to ASAP.  Dieter Simon 01:03, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: Grammaticalization describes a process by which new function words enter languages.  Since the many closed classes described here are function word classes, perhaps this article should mention grammaticalization, in addition to more "typical" mechanisms like compounding, inflection, etc.  Thoughts?

thread_title: Binding

message: "It's a picture, how can it need a citation???" was my reaction too, until thinking about it a bit more.  It may well be true that the page was ripped out by the censorship department but equally (given what often happens in public libraries in the West too), it could just have been 'liberated' by a reader. So the citation request is to ask "how do we know who did it" because, if we don't, then we can't state in Wikivoice that the usual suspects did it. 
So, somewhat reluctantly given the balance of probabilities, I am reinstating the cn tag but I will add a hidden note to say why. 
I would love to believe that the same consideration would apply to a similar case at The People's 'Pedia (or whatever it is called) but of course it would not and does not. But that doesn't mean that we should join them in the gutter. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 00:19, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:HBO World Championship Boxing

message: Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump on Saturday, September 13th, 02003.
I wanted to post a List of world champions who have boxed on HBO (HBO Boxing) but I dont know if such a list would constitute advertisement to that show. What do you think?
Antonio El Sexymeter Martin
Why not just put the list at HBO Boxing? I don't think it needs a separate article. The value of a "List of foos" article is that it pulls together many disparate elements when such a list has no appropriate home elsewhere. For example, Marketing contains both general information about marketing as well as an extensive list of marketing subtopics -- so there is no need for a List of marketing topics (in my opinion anyway). -- Cyan 06:20, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Actually, my interest is about Evatt, reffered in a book as "the brother of the Australian prime minister", in the year 1958. My search so far only shows an Evatt who was a leader of the opposition. So I beginning to think that this book reference might be wrong.

message: The Mingis pronunciation was favoured by Menzies, leading him to be known as "Ming the Merciless". There was also an ABC broadcaster known as Bruce Menzies (Mingis). The pronunciation is thus not unknown in Australia. Jack Upland (talk) 08:19, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I stand corrected: you've helped me to remember Bruce Menzies. As for "Ming the Merciless", which I also remember, it's drawing a long bow to attribute it to the Scottish pronunciation. My father was a Scottish pedant, and he pronounced it Mingis and complained when people (invariably) said "Menzees", though I expect it was also because he hated Menzies's guts. So there's two people who used it. Conclusion: the pronunciation was exceptionally rare in Australia -- sufficient, I believe, to justify my changing the sequence. And it still is: refer to "Bob Mingis" nowadays and the only reaction you'll get is "Huh?". I would appreciate your restoring my edit. Cheers, Simon – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 08:45, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this question. 
I noticed that there is some info out there on the internet about << Erielle Reshef – Correspondent[44] >> that is seemingly reliable enough (e.g., to be "linked to" from a Wikipedia footnote). For example, THIS web page: https://bio-pedia.com/erielle-reshef/ seems to have a lot of useful-looking info (albeit interspersed, perhaps, with a lot of mild-mannered ads). 
At first I thought that maybe she (Erielle) was notable enough for a web site like "bio-pedia dot com", but was perhaps NOT notable enough to have an actual article (in article space) on Wikipedia. 
Not so! 
Today I noticed (probably after doing a search) that not only Erielle Reshef but also several other (apparently notable) ABC News employees ... are listed here (in this article), but... with a link that is not yet a regular blue (i.e., non-red) link. 
Once I saw that, I realized that, the editor who included any one of those [several] red links, was probably of the opinion that the person (e.g. Erielle Reshef) was sufficiently notable to have an actual article (in article space) on Wikipedia. 
The reason why the article was not created may have been just that the editor was busy and did not have time for it. (or ... maybe some other reason, other than not being notable enough.) 
I also am not about to create a new article, just because I saw that web page on the web site "bio-pedia dot com". (By the way, as far as I know, I had never heard of the web site "bio-pedia dot com" before.) 
However, I think that (at least, until there is a Wikipedia article [in article space] about Erielle Reshef), there should probably be a link [perhaps in a footnote?]  pointing to that web page on the web site "bio-pedia dot com", ... from somewhere near the extant red link that is displayed as (well ... as of 20 July 2022 it was displayed as) "Erielle Reshef".
