Talk:Zenaga language

message: The 2020 Oxford Handbook of African Languages has a chapter on Zenaga, which I am trying to use to add more information to this page. One issue I'm unsure of is the phonology section, specifically the consonants-- the chapter includes a table of the Zenaga consonant inventory, but /k/ and /g/ are listed as postpalatal and /q/ as velar. I wasn't able to find an explanation for this (as opposed to the usual designations of /k/ and /g/ as velar and /q/ as uvular), so I'm not sure if I should just add the table as it's listed in the book? Would love to get some opinions on what to do for Phonology section in this page with that in mind. Blueshiftofdeath (talk) 18:39, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

message: This is the biggest change that I made today; the cited obituary says it was Pasley who referred to Kafka as his "younger Brother", not Marianne of Pasley. I'll admit it doesn't make as much sense, but that's what's on the page. Can anybody come up with a primary source for this quote?  It would help in case the obituary writer goofed. --Enwilson 21:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Graft-chimaera

message: The first sentence of the “Nomenclature” section states: “Article 21 of the ICNCP stipulates that a graft-chimaera …”.  In the eighth edition (2009) Article 21 was renumbered to Article 24: Names of Graft-Chimeras.  This change remains in the ninth edition.
Within the “Nomenclature” section, the cultivar epithet is referred to for only intrageneric graft-chimaeras.  The cultivar epithet should also be included for intergeneric graft-chimaeras, if only to avoid the implication that it does not apply to these.
The last paragraph of the “Nomenclature” section states: “A graft-chimaera cannot have a species name, because it is simultaneously two species”.  The two clauses are independently true, but the link, implied by “because”, needs explanation.  Although, as an analogy, an intergeneric graft-chimaera can have a genus name, e.g. +Crataegomespilus, even though it is simultaneously two genera.

Talk:Kujargé language

message: This article has been misnamed.  The Kajakse language [ISO 639-3, ckq] is NOT the same language as the Kujarge language [ISO 639-3, vkj].  This article currently seems to combine information from both languages in a jumble.  It's late tonight, so I'll straighten it out in the morning.  There is another page (correctly) labelled Kajakse language for the Chadic language ISO 639-3 ckq.  I will remove any information relevant to that language from this article and place it there.  The remaining information will be left here and the ISO number, etc. changed to reflect the unclassified language "Kujarge".  It's clear that Bender treats these as separate languages, as well as Ethnologue and Blench's unpublished (but web-available) Chadic Gazeteer. (Taivo (talk) 19:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Horn-rimmed glasses

message: I think this started before the early 2000s. In fact, I got a pair in about '93-'94 (the sort of half-round style) that I intentionally selected because I wanted to look artsily hip.  (I live(d) in the US, BTW.)  There were lots of other, similar pairs in the same store, too. I think it's probably more the case that, after being considered super dorky and grandma-ish starting some point after their era of mass popularity ('50s and '60s) - say, maybe in the '70s through '80s - they finally began to be accepted again in an artsy/hipster sort of way around the extreme late '80s/early '90s, and the trend has continued to trickle down to the mainstream ever since, with smaller dips and peaks along the way. I think their revival might have started earlier in Europe than in the US, too - sort of the same as with boot-cut jeans, clunky shoes for women, etc. that all became big in a mainstream way in the '90s.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.45.108.91 (talk) 21:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Emphatic consonants as pharyngealized, not ejective

message: "The Central Semitic languages are a proposed intermediate group of Semitic languages, comprising the Late Iron Age, modern dialect of Arabic (prior to which Arabic was a Southern Semitic language[clarification needed]), and older Bronze Age Northwest Semitic languages (which include Aramaic, Ugaritic, and the Canaanite languages of Hebrew and Phoenician)."
I don't get this. Does it mean that Arabic changed at one point in history from being southern Semitic to central Semitic? That doesn't make any sense. If a language is recognised as belonging to a language family, then all of its descendents should be in the same family.
I'm probably reading this wrong as the only explanation that I can find is that the article is trying to say that linguists used to classify Arabic as a southern Semitic language but now they classify it as a central one.
In any case, the wording of this paragraph is confusing and I think someone should rewrite it to make it less so, or if it was truly a case of a language changing family, then I think a citation is needed.ICanHelpYou (talk) 06:51, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

- The first paragraph has a few long sentences. I think it would be more understandable if the sentences were split into multiple shorter ones. 
- Explain what the doctrines of Epicurus, Thomas Hobbes, and Spinoza in the first paragraph of the biography 
- Say what illness he died from
- Great explanation on the hydraulic theory!
- I think the transitions from one paragraph to the other on the same section could use some work to flow a bit better.

Talk:Heterogamy

message: I've also commented at talk:anisogamy that I don't think a complete merge of these two articles would be useful, but there may be a couple more things to consider in regards to heterogamy: I did a PubMed search and found many articles mention the term in a social context, aka human marriages across ethnic, national, religous, age groups etc. There is some research looking at e.g. fertility and divorce rates of human heterogamous marriages. That info is so far missing here, but might be what the layman might be most likely looking for when typing "heterogamy" into the search box. I think the best course of action might be to expand that part into the main article at heterogamy. Also, there is an article on heterogamous, which should probably be merged/redirected here. The bottom line is: While anisogamy is sometimes called heterogamy, the term heterogamy can also refer to a number of other things besides anisogamy. - tameeria 22:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Hexastylis

message: I think this info may be way out of date.  Wasn't Hexastylis incorporated into the genus Asarum?
* There is no doubrt that these taxon are similar. However, since the Flora of North America and Gleason and Cronquist 1991, (which are the two most well known, and recent authoritative treatments of the area) recognize Hexastylis as distinct, I believe we should too unless someone can show definitive evidence that they have been merged. I have seen some evidence that they have some genetic differences, but I don't know much more than that. From what I can discover, they were separate, them merged by Fernald and such, and then separated again. Hope this help, always interested to learn more if it's out there.

Talk:Philistine language

message: Looking at the disinfobox that I have reproduced at right, we see that, as is so often the case, the disinfobox trumps all nuanced discourse— subconsciously done, one hopes, assuming good faith—but coarsely effective. In this case the disinfobox definitively establishes the Philistine language as Semitic: specifically Northwest Semitic. All discussion has been peremptorily halted, because a blank in the otherwise purposeless disinfobox must be filled with something. Disinfoboxes, as anyone may see here, are not required to present any kind of substantiation through references and sources, as text is now so arbitrarily required to do, in a surficial display of an elusive Wikipedian intellectual honesty. The disinfobox sets up an anti-text that is designed to attract the semi-literate eye with lively color and to replace the drab article with which it jostles so uncomfortably on the Wikipedia page.

There is a huge geographical gap between southern areas of Chile and  Argentina and the Southern United States. In the northern half of Chile L. provocax is not present. Was this species introduced to the USA - but then it would perhaps fit better into Oregon and Washington State? A typo? Somebody making jokes? From my observation of feces of L. provocax I am under the impression that it feeds on crabs (Aegla sp.), perhaps exclusively so.
