thread_title: Notable?

message: This article is completely unsourced, and appears to be talking about a concept, a hypothetical suggestion of what could exist. While it is valid to talk about such things, how can we write an accurate encyclopedia article about it?  This article has been edited 4 times in 2008, and none in 2009, and has content warning tags dating from December 2007 which have not been addressed at all.
Therefore, i will informally propose deletion of this article, unless we can find sources to verify. Any objections?  If there are none, i will formally propose deletion soon.  —fudoreaper (talk) 02:00, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: There is no word "skrypka" in English usage. As a folk instrument, it is commonly translated as "fiddle", using the word skrypka only to mention gthe local-language term. Please show me a serious musicology paper which speaks about "skrypka", and I will believe you. I do agree that every nation has its own peculiar whistle and violin and plenty of drums.

Talk:Manasa

message: I think there needs to be more sources to prove this story true, especially those from Hindu scholars not western ones, as those are more reliable. Lord Shiva is considered  Mahadev, God of the gods, and is known for his devotion towards his wife, Devi Parvathi, who is Adi Shakti hereself, the primordial power of the universe. If Manasa was Lord Shiva’s daughter, he would 1) be able to sense that, and 2) never take her as a concubine because of his devotion towards his wife and basic morals. The only time he acted out of such devotion, is when he met Mohini, Lord Vishnu’s female avatar in which they had a son, Swami Ayyppan together. And even if Manasa was his concubine, Devi Parvati is Adi Shakti herself, she would never act in such a way according to Hindu scriptures. Curse Manasa? Possibly. But kick her, blind her, and ruin her wedding night? I think that’s a stretch. I can believe that Manasa is the daughter of Shiva. From what I was always taught she was blessed to Vasuki by Shiva when he wanted a sister, but she is commonly considered Rishi Kashyap’s daughter as mentioned in the article. Someone please help me understand the story better, or provide sources to prove it correct, (preferably Hindu scholars). The story does not line up with Hindu morals and such. Thank you! 
P.S. When I’m saying I prefer Hindu scholars over Western ones, I’m not hating against any religion or belief, I’m simply saying that Hindu scholars are more accurate as they are more connected to the religion and beliefs than other scholars. Just wanted to clarify this. 104.230.12.92 (talk) 22:26, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Feminizing hormone therapy

message: the reference to WPATH 7 in the requirements section does not match the current WPATH 8 recommendations that are also listed on Transgender health care#Gender-affirming care. 
Pyschotherapy and a letter from a qualified healthcare professional is no longer a recommended requirement.
on the FAQ for WPATH SoC 8 p.2 it is summed up as
"There are new and strong recommendations for: 
...
Modifying the criteria for medical interventions from previous versions to eliminate unnecessary barriers to care. The new criteria are balanced with greater emphasis on individualized assessment, treatment planning, and clinician training including TGD-specific continuing education. Other modifications to the criteria include:
○ requiring only one letter from a provider,
○ removing minimum age requirements,
○ lowering requirements for hormonal treatment before surgical interventions, and
○ removing requirements for living in desired gender role;"
the current recommended requirements for adults to start gender-affirming medicinal treatment as on the WPATH Standards of Care 8 PDF document statement 5.5 p.40 is 
"We recommend transgender and gender diverse adults who fulfill the criteria for gender-affirming medical and surgical treatment require a single opinion for the initiation of this treatment from a professional who has competencies in the assessment of transgender and gender diverse people wishing gender-related medical and surgical treatment
...
Consequently, if written documentation or a letter is required to recommend gender-affirming medical and surgical treatment (GAMST), TGD people seeking treatments including hormones, and genital, chest, facial and other gender-affirming surgeries require a single written opinion/signature from an HCP competent to independently assess and diagnose (Bouman et al., 2014; Yuan et al, 2021). Further written opinions/signatures may be requested where there is a specific clinical need."
Psychotherapy is no longer a part of the recommended requirements as expressed on statement 18.9 p.175
"We recommend health care professionals should not make it mandatory for transgender and gender diverse people to undergo psychotherapy prior to the initiation of gender-affirming treatment, while acknowledging psychotherapy may be helpful for some transgender and gender diverse people."

Talk:Conducător

message: User:Anonimu has repeatedly made edits to remove any mention oif Nicolae Ceausescu and his use of the title Conducător as dictator, citing "fake unsourced info".
The logic is, apparently, is that since Nicolae Ceaușescu's office was that of President of Romania instead of Conducător of Romania, he can't be described as Conducător despite using the title.
However, there are still examples of dictators and authoritarian rulers using titles which aren't those of their official roles:
* There was never an office of Vrhovnik of Croatia, but that didn't stop Franjo Tuđman (who served in the office of President of Croatia) from calling himself Vrhovnik.
* There was never an office of Millî Şef of Turley, but that didn't stop İsmet İnönü (who served in the office of President of Turkey in 1938-50, and Prime Minister of Turkey in the 20's and 60's) from calling himself Millî Şef.

message: How should the name of the composer of the music for “Serenade” be spelled?

Talk:Water supply and sanitation in Guyana

message: Here's the WHO/UNICEF JMP for 2019, from https://washdata.org/reports. I might take a stab at it, but I thought I'd drop the link here in case anyone else wants to update it (and the possibility of myself forgetting or getting distracted by other things). Plus all those links in the article body need to get removed! Cheers, Estheim (talk) 22:17, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: DATA UPDATING NOTE: Okay, so: JMP structures their data differently since the previous information batch. It's more about setting a baseline for what's required at minimum for water/sanitation. So even though the source is the same, I couldn't EXACTLY QUANTIFY the data as it was in the previous table. I feel like I'm crapping all over the previous editors' work, and I sincerely think the page was solid and informative- it's that in 10 years since, the approach to 'Development' is changing just as fast as the figures themselves. This makes sense, in that expecting developing countries to have perfectly functioning modern utility systems is not reasonable as a development goal (which is what source organizations are aiming for). So if you're wondering why I'm scrapping a lot of stuff, it's because the function of the data is changing and that means new tables. Estheim (talk) 18:21, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

message: In the "Adulthood" section, it says:
*While still in Russia, he had had about ten pieces in his piano repertoire (that is, of other composers; in Russia he mostly performed his own compositions).
It’s always been the received wisdom that he never performed any piano works by other composers until the memorial service after Scriabin’s death in 1915.  This says It was the first time he ever played music other than his own in public.  So, these 10 pieces must have been added to his repertoire only between May 1915 and when he left Russia in November 1917.  Do we know what the 10 pieces were?  Also, I think it's worth mentioning that he held Scriabin in such high esteem as to make him the very first composer other than himself whose piano works he played in public, and when he was already 42 years old and had been a public performer for over 20 years.  A very significant milestone.  --  JackofOz (talk) 01:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
