Talk:Sumas, Washington

message: Sumas was in the news this week due to severe flooding. The mayor was interviewed on Seattle TV. He and the other residents pronounce the name with accent of the FIRST syllable, not the second. I have also visited the town several times and verified this. Corrected the pronunciation in the article.75.172.213.218 (talk) 23:10, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Accent on first syllable

message: For now, I removed the following:
 The community was named after the Sumas First Nation.
The reason is none of the sources listed here mention the Sumas First Nation, only that the name was derived from a Cowichan tribe - not all Cowichan tribes - in the area. The  Cowichan wikipage does not list the Sumas First Nation as a member and they live in a distinct area from the Sumas.  The Sumas First Nation page does not list the Cowichan or Sumas, Washington either.
The history link reference mentions that the name Sumas was later given to lands (with lots of trees) into British Columbia where the Sumas First Nation is.  Thus the name of the First Nation may be derived from the Cowichan tribe and likely come after the naming of Sumas, Washington. Skingski (talk) 01:47, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The Sumas Tribe's home page states they refer to themselves as the Semá:th people (the word "Sumas" is used separately on their page, indicating this is not the same word). Skingski (talk) 02:40, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name origin 

message: :
This language suggests that Sumas is in a rare sharp jag.  In fact all of the boundary west of the Cascade Range is further north than any other part of the "49°" line, though the most extreme error is indeed near Sumas, which thus reaches a bit beyond Blaine, the other incorporated city that touches this stretch of the line.

Talk:Pasteurella

message: I have been wondering about the mild impact Y. pestis had when introduced into the Americas a century ago.  One would think, if this were "plague", i.e. something with the virulence of the Black Death, that it would have ripped thru the Americas like ... plague.  One would especially expect it to affect native Americans, but it does not seem to have had any significant effect on them.  If anything, the effect was less than it had been in the Old World in the pandemic that brought it here.  Here, it infected a few dozen people and went sylvan in the rodent population.  
Is there a native Pasteurella or Yersinia organism that accounts for native resistance?
Has any genetic analysis been done to find the origins of Y. pestis?  Is there any chance that it is actually a new-world disease that was carried back by, for example, Carthegenian traders?Tomligon 20:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Avoid template creep

message: Having made a couple myself, I can see that there is an evolving problem, particularly with the proliferation of "navigation templates" on Wikipedia. I know that many editors are and have been doing very good work cleaning up and standardizing template schemes, rounding up the bad ones and taking them to TfD, but it just seemed like the time was right for an essay like this. Do a search for "template creep" and similar phrases and you'll see many instances that pre-date this essay. Feedback and improvements are welcome, and please feel free to mention or link to it where appropriate. heqs ·:. 20:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Evolving problem 

message: Whether to include or exclude a navigation template should not rest on any individual's aesthetic judgement, but rather on actual data as to how many users are viewing or clicking the links in the template. Unfortunately, on Wikipedia we have no way to collect this data, so we're probably stuck with irresolvable arguments based on aesthetics. A template which might seem like clutter to one person might be a godsend to another. Usability consultants such as Jakob Nielsen emphasize the need to actually observe statistically significant numbers of users as they use a site, for example with eye tracking devices to see where the users look on a page and how long various parts hold their attention. Without this kind of data, it's just one person's subjective opinion against another's. Self-reported complaints or compliments from a small fraction of users may be unrepresentative. In any case, many of the articles I'm interested in have (or had) no navigation templates at all, so I would agree that if someone wants to make a new template, best to make one for articles that don't already have any. Going from zero to one template on an article probably adds a lot more value than going from, say, six templates to seven. There is probably a "rich get richer" mechanism for template accumulation, whereby the editors who focus on a topic that already has lots of templates will learn by example to create more, whereas a topic with few or no templates is less able to train its editors to correct that deficiency. --Teratornis (talk) 22:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

There are approximately 15 or so of these individual year articles on the Tony Awards, and I'm pretty sure none (or few) of them starts out by saying what the award is. I've added the first paragraph to this article, direct from the main article on the Tony Awards, plus a "See Also" to that article and a reference (the Official site of the Tony Awards). (Perhaps a disambig. link to the main article would be better, right up top, but I'm rushed right now.)
