message: This article is peppered with "citation needed" tags and a lack of references. I will attempt to address these as soon as possible. Otr500 (talk) 11:37, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As a note, in case someone should read, a reference tag at the top of an article, or an appropriate section reference tag would suffice in lieu of a tag at the top and a bunch of "citation needed" tags adorning the article. An example would be the three paragraph U.S. geographical importance section with 4 "citation needed" tags. One tag follows "... these lands had previously been under the control of Great Britain.", that is preceded by an inline link to the Treaty of 1818 which does provide reference to the content. 
*The point is that citations are necessary and important. An article tagged then redundantly blanket tagged actually serves no purpose. The information is accurate but I suppose I could put 10 or 15 references in the section which will then be over-kill the other direction. I see there are editors that like to place reference and citation needed tags but apparently not as many that actually go a step farther and provide some.
*A single section tag provides a better choice. Otr500 (talk) 11:53, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I've had rather frustrating debate in the ru_wiki recently on the Heavy Metal discussion page concerning this rather silly notion (crudely pasted, apparently from en_wiki entry) that initially rock ctitics made no distinction between heavy metal and hard rock, which to my mind is total nonsense. In order to prove my point (that it was in fact early rock journalists who've made such a distinction in the first place) I referred to a Charsles S. Murray 'Heavy Metal' essay which I once encountered in the Best of NME 1974 almanac (and in fact enjoyed it so much as to translate it into Russian). Trouble is, I find it impossible now to prove even the fact of this essay's mere existence. Any suggestions please?

replies: text: Because bagpiping is the act of playing the instrument, and it includes bagpipers. I also didn't choose "piping" because it's ambiguous, despite it being the term most of us would use. --MacRusgail 19:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Craig, the "Bagpiping" category has gotten pretty large, and it would make sense to make "Bagpipes" a subcategory.  Everything would still be linked together and easy to find, but someone who was looking for individual types of bagipes wouldn't need to scan past the listing of associations, publications, etc. Anyone have a strong argument against subdividing further to "Bagpipes"? MatthewVanitas (talk) 12:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's clarified: bagpiping is the above category dealing with all bagpiping issues, and the subcat "bagpipes" is for the actual names of instruments. There can also be a subcat for "bagpipers" or "bagpipe players." Badagnani (talk) 18:50, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

On the other hand, on the English page it talks about the ikki as people ("...The Ikkō-ikki were, at first, disparate and disorganized followers of Rennyo's teachings...")

replies: text: Sansom writes "The word ikki strictly speaking means a league, but was extended to describe the activity of a league, usually by way of revolt." (Sansom. "History of Japan 1334-1615." p207.) My other English language sources confirm this, using the term to refer not only to the Ikko-ikki, but also to other leagues of peasants who banded together to help one another with various agrarian difficulties; these leagues likewise often rose up in revolts and the like. Yet, my Japanese dictionary does describe the word as a revolt, an insurrection, not as a group or league. I understand your confusion, but I believe, based on my sources, that it is not inaccurate or inappropriate to use the term ikki to refer to the group. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Talk:Westron

message: A recent edit removed the classification of Westron as a creole language, with the comment that it is doubtful Tolkien considered it one. I believe Tolkien certainly did not classify Westron as a creole, as during his lifetime the term was only applied to developed pidgins. Westron was never a pidgin: even as early as the middle Second Age Westron only had contact with closely related languages. A pidgin-like situation thus never occured, and therefore Westron cannot be seen as a creole. It was indeed a contact language, but not between unrelated languages of different development levels such as all real pidgins/creoles are. The contact between Adûnaic and the developed Bëorian/Hadorian (Marachian) tongues of Middle-earth is one which like has never occured on the real world and therefore we have no fitting term for it. It would be comparable to modern England discovering a place where Anglo-Saxon developed into a different path, and English and neo-AS would merge into a new language. -- Jordi·✆ 14:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
