message: I am trying to trace an episode of Morse which started in a graveyard and ended tragically with a beautiful rendition of the above aria playing throughout. I would particularly love to know the name of the singer so that I can buy that version of the Messiah on cd because it was the finest rendering I heard and moved me to tears in conjunction with the episode.

replies: text:  Hm, I didn't notice this yesterday when I made the change, but I switched "Oceania: Puncak Jaya/Kosciuszko" to "Oceania: Puncak Jaya/Australia: Kosciuszko". The notion of "Seven Summits" derives from the notion of Seven Continents, one presumes, but the exact number of continents and their identity is culture specific. Mt Kosciuszko is the tallest mountain of a continent according to the Australian definition of the continents, in which Australia is one. But according to the European definition, which replaces Australia with the ambiguous Oceania, Mt Kosciuszko isn't one, because Mt Cook in Oceania-but-not-Australia/NG and Puncak Jaya on PNG are taller. I think it is more important for WP to be clear than it is to imply poorly named but euphonic concepts are necessarily correct. —Felix the Cassowary 02:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is Mont Blanc in this template? Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 06:02, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no universally accepted definition of what is the eastern boundary of Europe and some consider the Caucasus part of Asia, thus listing Mount Elbrus is as arbitrary as listing Mont Blanc. In fact if you look at the drainage divide between Mount Elbrus and the Himalayas you will see that nowhere it sinks below 900 metres whereas a sea level rise of 110 metres would be sufficient to disconnect it from Europe (and from the Alps). So one can wonder if Mount Elbrus is really the best candidate, if there is any. ZachG (Talk) 16:23, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Khanate

message: Khanate, is for the country ruled by a Khan. Khaganate, is a country ruled by a Khagan. The article fails to make distinction between Khan and Khagan. Same issue for Khanate and Khaganate. These are different titiles and states. In the very beginin of the article, "Kağanlık" is used as the Turkish word meaning "Khanate". This is wrong. In Turkish there are two words: "Hanlık", "Kağanlık". 
"Han" is "Khan" and "Hanlık" for "Khanate". "Kağan" is for "Khagan" and "Kağanlık" for "Khaganate".
In the other hand, "Hakan" is not "Khagan". It is a third distinct title compared to "Han" and "Kağan". and there is "Hakanlık" as a third distinct form of government compared to "Hanlık" and "Kağanlık".
Therefore, titles, regimes and their English equivalents are as follows:
Han = Khan; Hanlık = Khanate
Kağan = Khagan; Kağanlık = Khaganate
Hakan = Hakan; Hakanlık = <N.A.>
On the other hand, where does "-ate" come from? Why is it not "Khandom" as in "Kingdom", according to rules of English language? I suggest "Khandom", "Khagandom" and "Hakandom".

thread_title:  "We are what we are" 

message: The last section in the article, which currently links to seven other web sites, is in fact a References section, not an External Links section.  Per Wikipedia:Citing sources#Types of citation, "A general reference is a citation to a reliable source that supports content, but is not displayed as an inline citation. General references are usually listed at the end of the article in a References section."  Per Wikipedia:External links#References and citation, "Sites that have been used as sources in the creation of an article should be cited in the article, and linked as references, either in-line or in a references section. Links to these source sites are not "external links" for the purposes of this guideline... "  For an example of a featured article that has Notes, References, and External Links, see Harry Cobby.  That article is also a good example of the guideline that External Links should be few in number, and often limited to the official site or sites for the article subject.  So, I'm going to change the section name back, from External Links to References.  As far as the "No footnotes" tag -- "This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations." -- that's true, and inline citations are preferable to general references, because they show exactly which sources relate to which parts of the article, so, while I'm not a huge fan of such tags, I'm going to leave it in.  — Mudwater (Talk) 23:43, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Kimek–Kipchak confederation

message: I am confused about the name Kimek: in all English and Russian-lingual sources I saw they are called Kimak, and their state Kimak Kaganate, not Kimek and Kimek Khanate. Only in Kazakh and Tatar languages it seems is used quasi-Cyrillic Ə, rendered into English as ä (Kimäk) and e (Kimek). I tend to think that the article should use Kimak, and maybe explain the Kazakh and Tatar (and maybe other Türkic languages) phonetical specifics, relevant because they must be closest to the original pronounciation of the Kimak people.
Secondly, for the purposes of internet searches, the conventional English "Kimak" seems to be more productive, since a search for "Kimak" would not find the relevant article called "Kimek". Any other opinions? Barefact 01:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

*Delete Even if it could be absolutely guaranteed that a film is in production, that doesn't mean we need an article on it.  All films in development and production are subjects of rumors, unauthorized leaks, intentional misinformation... films that go into production don't necessarily get completed, no matter who is behind them... the staffing of a film is never certain... the film, even if completed, may not be notable.  Entertainment magazines, "insider" reports, IMDB articles on films in progress, etc. are just a massive rumor mill, entirely unreliable.  What can reasonably be stated on such an encyclopedia page?  What would have happened if we had a Wikipedia page on the Kevin Smith Superman starring Nicholas Cage?  What false information would we have spread during the production of Eyes Wide Shut, had there been an article prior to the completion and release of the film? Somehow, many people seem to favor keeping this, but to me it seems akin to writing an article titled "The O.J.

message: # "English name" does not necessarily mean that the words themselves have to be in English; it means that we need to use the name that English speakers actually use in reference to the thing, even if English speakers typically use the untranslated foreign name. Considering that it's not even the slightest bit difficult to find English pages on Google that refer to it as Montréal-Nord, it cannot be clearly asserted that "Montreal North" is the more standard usage in English. And as for the "established consensus", Saint-Leonard is still under debate, and Montreal West is a bit of a unique case in that English usage does show a clear preference for the anglicized form. (My theory about this is that it's because West is the only one of the four cardinal directions where the English and French pronunciations are almost identical to most ears anyway, so English speakers are less reluctant to spell it the more familiar way. But that's only a theory.) Note also Montréal-Est, where a similar move proposal was actually voted down because the evidence actually came down in favour of the conclusion that English speakers don't typically say "Montreal East". Accordingly, oppose. Bearcat 03:28, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
