Talk:David Hobby

message: I just added references to some published interviews of David Hobby, and a reference to a MacWorld article by David Hobby.
Please hang on, I am writing an article on Strobist, the biggest reason this person is notable. Strobist is a quite popular blog (150,000 visitors per month, 1,5 million hits per month) by Hobby that teaches about photographic lighting for free.

Category talk:Feminist organizations

message: I'm considering creating a :Category:Women's rights organizations.  :Category:Feminist organizations are not all involved in women's rights activism; some might be, for instance, scholarly groups. Similarly some women's rights organizations might not easily fit into "feminist" -- for instance, government monitoring organizations, organizations that have one particular area of interest but in general might be otherwise construed as non-feminist or anti-feminist.  This would also enable :Category:Women's rights organizations to fit clearly under :Category:Human rights organizations.  Thoughts? --Lquilter (talk) 21:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mafia

message: The stylistic choices on this page are unclear: when writing "the word 'mafia'...", "mafia" should be written in italics, because the etymology of the term is in question; furthermore, the use of the initial capital letter isn't even clear, since "Mafia" is written 90% (approximately) with a capital initial letter and the remaining percentage with a lowercase initial letter. JackkBrown (talk) 08:47, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: , the word "Mafia" has been in widespread everyday use in the English language for many decades, so there is no need to italicize it. Questions about etymology have nothing to do with capitalization. A simple Google Books search for lowercase "mafia" shows that the overwhelming majority of reliable sources use the uppercase "Mafia", and treat the word as a proper noun, even when the search term is presented in lower case. Reliable contemporary sources almost always capitalize and almost never italicize. We reflect the usage in reliable sources. These are basic, elementary facts that Wikipedia editors should be able to determine on their own. This is not a problem. Cullen328 (talk) 09:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

As an unincorporated area, it can be difficult to establish authority for naming but I would defer to the official government spelling.

message: I'll add some more to this article in a couple of weeks (4th January 2012)
kThis description is misleading. The second paragraph correlates the reaction of A + 2B -> C and r= k[A][B]^2. This may lead readers to think that the stoichiometric coefficient defines the species order when it does not.

message: Who really did what for this game? It's ending credits mention neither Sakaguchi, Uematsu or Squaresoft. They do mention Hirokazu Tanaka, though, who is a composer. The ending credits don't say who did what, though, but it's hard to think Tanaka doing anything else than the music, as there are hardly any sound effects in the game. I see what Kotaku says, but I'm don't think it's quite reliable. I found a Japanese page saying that Uematsu made the ending song, but that page seemed hardly trustworthy.
I don't contest that Square was involved (because you can find that info from Nintendo's own page), but I suspect the extent Sakaguchi was. The source in Japanese Wikipedia (Nintendo) says that Sakaguchi was working on Final Fantasy I at the time and entered the Tokimeki High School team quite late in development, so I don't think he would have been able to be too involved in the designing process. --Bakuryuu (talk) 05:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

message: A number of users have been persistently adding the following text to the article, without explanation both for their additions and reversions to keep the additions:
 Chellianwala is a town and union council of Mandi Bahauddin District in the Punjab province of Pakistan.[1] It is located at 32°39'0N 73°36'0E at an altitude Italic textof 218 metres (718 feet) and lies to the north-east of the district capital Mandi Bahauddin.[2] It is famous for being the location of the Battle of Chellianwala that took place in 1849 between the forces of the Sikh Khalsa army and the British Army .
The most notable thing in the centre of the village is two graveyards which are both deeply respected by the citizens of Chellianwala, a few lakh rupees have been donated by provincial government with the efforts of ex-chairman Chellianwala CH Nasir Ahmed son of CH Ghulam Ahmad from the royal Amireke family(Ch Tuman Khan, Ch Jaahan Khan, Ch Ghulam Sarwar) and efforts are still being put in to highlight its historical importance and military significance, this has so far been a success.

Talk:Tainan Confucian Temple

message: Many Taiwanese sources state that the temple was built in 1665, in the 19th year of the reign of the Yongli Emperor, during the Southern Ming Dynasty. But the Yongli Emperor didn't reign for a 19th year, because he was executed in 1662. Did the Taiwanese not find out for several more years? Badagnani (talk) 23:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know whether it is appropriate to use the Ming emperor's reign for dates, but as the Qing dynasty didn't have any control over Taiwan until much later, it is incorrect to use the Qing date. My guess is that the Qing date was included by someone trying to emphasize their perception that Taiwan is always part of China.  If that is the case then the use of the Qing date is not only incorrect, it is a violation of the NPOV policy. Readin (talk) 00:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

text: No I can't, my knowledge of how dates were rendered during that period of Taiwan's history isn't sufficient.  If Taiwanese were using Yongli for their dates (a possibility as Koxinga was a Ming loyalist), then it probably is NPOV to include that date.  Either way you're probably ok just using the 1665 date.

message: Thoughts on re-naming this article: here in Taiwan the structure is referred to as the "Tainan Temple of Confucius" (Kongzi = Confucius) or "Temple of Confucius in Tainan", and not the "Taiwan Confucian Temple"--which is an ambiguous and inaccurate translation of Tainan kongzi miao ("Confucian Temple" would be ru jia miao or something that doesn't refer to the man Confucius, Kongzi). Moreover, the Temple of Confucius article (about the original Kong Miao in Qufu) already exists and should be mentioned/followed. Finally, there is also a Confucius Temple in Taichung and some other places I can't recall the names of at the moment, so there needs to be a mention of locale here since this is one of many temples devoted to Confucius and his ideas.N0574 (talk) 08:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
