Talk:West Kalimantan

message: The 2000 census results I'm looking at show West Kalimantan with a population of 3.74 million, substantially different from the 4.2 million currenty listed in the article.

replies: text: Indeed, Allmusic Guide turns up a band from Georgia, and no hint of a Canadian band.  I seriously doubt the Canadian band is notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article (see WP:MUSIC).  On the other hand, the band from Georgia seems like they might, barely, meet the notability requirements (only one record, but they've toured in US and Europe according to one source I found).  I'll do a little more research, but then I'll probably either hijack this stub and re-write it to be about the more notable band, or simply nominate it for deletion, depending on what I turn up.  Unless, of course, fans of the Canadian band can turn up some evidence of notability before I get back.  (I'm not going to hold my breath.) :)  Xtifr tälk 06:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: After some research, I've come to the conclusion that the US band (which was the original subject of this article) qualifies under Wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:MUSIC), based on several notable members (if there were only one, a redirect might be more appropriate, but Jerry Joseph's All Music Guide entry clearly indicates his notability), as well as the 2004 US tour.  It's marginal, but I think there's enough to pass.  The article was switched to refer to a Canadian band by User:Bruce1ee, who was partly justified in his action, since the earlier versions of the article were almost 100% copyvio, but the Candian band is clearly not notable enough for its own article (and if it ever becomes notable enough, it can have a separate article).

I am not a native speaker of Basque, but I think the English and the Basque versions don't match.

replies: text: The form with "iristen" is historically a habitual form, but when used in periphrastic verb phrases, it can be translated as a simple present, or continuous present in some situations, in English. Basque grammar is quite different from English, so not everything matches up directly with English grammatical terms.

thread_title:  Iristen z-a-izki-zue ‘They'll get to you (pl)’ 

message: At current the languages discussed are Georgian, Basque, Ganda, Hungarian, with additional brief discussion of Biblical Hebrew, Arabic, French.  Now it is nice that a number of varied language families are represented here, with pretty much every language mentioned being from a distinct family.  However there are some blind spots.  For one no example is of a language widely considered to be polysynthetic, even though polypersonal agreement is often considered to be a key feature of polysynthetic languages.  Perhaps related there seems to be a euro-centric bias present in the languages discussed.  Aside from Ganda every language is spoken in or very near to Europe.  North American, South American, Asian and Australian languages are completely absent despite the fact that polypersonal agreement can be found in these regions. For this reason I'm adding Template:Globalize to examples section.  In the interest of a clear goal I think it would be best if 1-2 examples from each of the mentioned regions were added.  Some languages are discussed in the lede which may make good candidates, but of course such will generally require some knowledge of the languages.

thread_title: Edit history

message: I was wondering whether Alfred Mahan might have had an influence on the development of leapfrogging strategy.  In his book The Influence of Sea Power upon History, Mahan noted that islands, once cut off by an enemy navy, were vulnerable to conquest and virtually useless for offensive naval operations (regardless of how many troops were stationed on them).
Also, I was wondering whether there's an analogy between leapfrogging and army "infiltration tactics".  In both cases, enemy strong points are circumvented and left in the rear either to be eliminated by later waves of troops or to "wither on the vine".Cwk MailBold text (talk) 18:16, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

message: This page could do with some attention from someone with a good knowledge of philosophy and the ability to translate it into language an intelligent person without philosophical training can understand! I'm a psychologist with a reasonable but basic knowledge of philosophy and I'm really not sure what "an ontological simple" is, for example (although I am familiar with the concept of ontology). A quick google didn't enlighten me much, I found the phrase being used but only in contexts that were no clearer than this wikipedia entry. All I could establish was that it was not a grammatical error (which was my first thought, as I assumed the author meant "ontologically simple"); I can't find a definition at all (although I didn't spend too long looking as I'm supposed to be doing something else). missdipsy (talk) 17:31, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Carol Lin

message: I deleted the sentence "Lin has been cited as an example of extreme political correctness" for two reasons.  First, no citation is given as far as I can see.  Second, the sentence that followed it — telling how Lin once referred to some French citizens as African Americans — was a non sequitur.  To call a non-American an American isn't politically correct: it's simply wrong.  If there was evidence that some people believed it to be political correctness then that might justify puttting the two sentences together, but no such evidence appears to be given. 
I also deleted "who had been killed" (which referred to the French citizens).  "Who had died" would represent a neutral point of view, but in any case the fact that they died is irrelevant to this article.158.109.1.15 (talk) 01:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: some discussion should be had as to what content should be displayed on the page...most of the following likely does not belong, but some of the info may be notable.  
* should a list of all-star appearances exist
* should news reporting on the quality of the draft or the players exist (i.e draft bust, 'less heralded' drafts)
This draft has one of the less-heralded first rounds in NBA draft history, with only three all-star appearance (first overall pick Kenyon Martin appeared for the Eastern conference in 2004, Jamaal Magloire, and Michael Redd), as of the end of the 2006 season. Although Kenyon Martin (1) and Darius Miles (3) have achieved moderate "star power", and 2001 rookie of the year Mike Miller (5) has begun to emerge as a solid starter in the past few years, this draft has had its fair share of disappointments. Stromile Swift (2) has been called one of the worst 2nd picks ever , and Marcus Fizer (4) is considered one of the bigger "draft busts" in recent memory and is out of the league. (Martin's and Miles' careers are now in jeopardy due to knee injuries.)  Former high school standout DerMarr Johnson (6) played adequately in his first two years before getting involved in a major car accident, and only returned to the league in 2005 as a bench player. While Chris Mihm (7), Jamal Crawford (8) and Joel Przybilla (9) have settled in as solid backups, highly-touted Keyon Dooling (10) has been fairly disappointing, and Mateen Cleaves (14), the NCAA Most Outstanding Player of 2000 and two-time Big Ten Player of the Year, never averaged more than 5 points per game and is out of the league. Highly touted big man Jerome Moiso (11) and thought-to-be potential all-star Courtney Alexander (13) are also out of the league.  	 
Two surprisingly strong players from this draft have been Desmond Mason (17), who has averaged 13 PPG for his career, and Michael Redd (43), who has blossomed into one of the league's elite shooting guards and garnered an All-Star selection (as well as an All-NBA Third Team selection) in 2004.''

thread_title: POV Check?

message: In case anyone ever has interest in expanding this article, there's an episode in Season 1 of the show [Cold Case Files] that focuses on the murder of one of Shoen's wives.  Shoen relates in a few interview clips that, at the time, he was embroiled in conflicts with family, and that he had reason to fear for his safety, although he hadn't imagined that anyone would target his wife.  The episode traces police efforts, years after the murder, to find the killer, who is eventually identified as a serial rapist without any connection to Shoen or the U-Haul business; the suspect is convicted and imprisoned.  At the end of the segment, more interview clips with Shoen are played where Shoen declares that he's pleased with the arrest/conviction, but implies that he believes there were accomplices, based on coroner's evidence that Shoen's murdered wife had two unexplained needle marks on her torso.  The show notes that Shoen maintained a toll free hotline and had posted a $100,000 reward for information about the murder, even after the killer was convicted.  
Show was aired in 1999, so it would have been taped very shortly before Shoen's death.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.89.201 (talk) 14:20, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
