Talk:National Tsing Hua University

message: This article is about the NATIONAL Tsiag Hua University, which is in the Republic of China, aka Taiwan.  
However, that there are two "Tsing Hua Universities" and two places with "Republic of China" in the name, and this is confusing, because it's two regions with Asian people in it, who even share a common language and related history.
I believe it would be helpful to keep mentions of ROC as "Taiwan" and PROC as "China" to improve clarity on which is what.
Thank you for your consideration in making articles easier to understand and keep straight in the minds of those unfamiliar with the details.  Kelidimari (talk) 21:13, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Descamisado

message: In my edit history I wrote that I "created" this page. That's not true. What I meant to say was that I was correcting this page. The descamisados were NOT a fascist union or organization of any type. It is a blanket term that was used in Argentina, mostly during the original Peronist era, to describe the followers of Juan Peron. It was not a name of a union or political party. -- Andrew Parodi 13:49, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

message: How can that list be his Ludography? He didn't design the games, as far as I know. It should rather be his Discography, I'd think. -Geddeth
:I originally wrote the article some years ago and chose ludography because it conveys that his work is in games, and I feel that it is clear from the context that he is not the designer but the soundtrack composer of said games.

thread_title: What does cover mean?

message: * This site provides an array of ridiculously misleading genres. If it is to be believed, Nightwish is black metal, hair metal and progressive metal at once. We can't treat such a "source" seriously. "Antti J. Ravelin" doesn't even seem to know terms like "symphonic metal" and "power metal" exist. Also, he does not specify if "heavy metal" is used as a broad term that includes power metal (and if so, it is redundant in the infobox), or as in "traditional heavy metal", like Black Sabbath or Judas Priest (and if so, the author is just incompetent).
* I suggest we should use a book instead: "Once Upon a Nightwish: The Official Biography 1996-2006", that says: "Along with Therion's Theli, the album came to be known as one of the cornerstones of the emerging genre of symphonic metal". Beaumain (talk) 21:05, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

message: The 1981 Hunger and Technology article clearly has no issue with the use of lead in these eggs, as the author simply said it's "simpler" and did not mention anything about illegality. I have a vague feeling that we are looking at a leaded gasoline situation: for a long while people found it useful and kept it as the norm, until overwhelming evidence/concern of harm stopped its general use. We should try to answer the following questions about the use of Pb:
* When was it introduced?
* When was it acceptable, if any? Were there any harm-limiting practices while they did it?
* What caused its demise? Consumer choice, regulation, technology, or many at once?
While we are at it, what is the black spot issue with contemporary lead-free eggs the zinc article talks about?

If you think that Slonimski is worthy to be mentioned as well, I don't mind. --Ghirlandajo 14:57, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Their membership in the "Serapions" was simply a student fraternity, an unofficial student brotherhood documented only by their group photos of that time (something like a school photo). While in Petrograd they lived in the Governor's palace and studied at the seminars of Zamyatin, Chukovsky and Tynyanov, so lucky they were to have the "creme de la creme" of Russian literature as their teachers. Zoshchenko was a bit more mature and definitely more witty and risky than the rest of them. Zamyatin tried to stimulate them intellectually, albeit he eventually stopped waisting his time. 
Tynyanov and Chukovsky were a bit more lenient with them, however, when Tynyanov died in Moscow, Chukovsky was the only teacher left, who guided the rest through the 1940s and 50s to the top positions in the Union of Soviet Writers. There, in the Moscow's official milieu, the remaining "brothers" were often rotating each other, like players in a long game, but at least one of them was always keeping the top position in the Union of Soviet Writers.
That's the name of the game ("milk the system" and get rich, regardless of what the system is doing to others), which the more talented writers, such as Zamyatin and Zoshchenko, never wanted to play. Whose works are known all over the world today? That is the question/answer. Steveshelokhonov 21:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Feedback requested: Change of title for Adolphe Schloss page  

message: Hi, I've seen arguments being made that WP:TITLEVAR means that article titles should use local names such as at Talk:Iarnród Éireann. That we should only consider Irish sources, and for cities in India, only consider what Indians use not the rest of the English-speaking world. I think this is an incorrect interpretation, we should consider the overall WP:COMMONNAME, regardless of where the source is from, not give one source preference to another.
So if TITLEVAR is only about spelling/grammar (I assume it is), can it be clarified to (adding "spelling"):
 or some other clarification. As it's being used to against the overall WP:COMMONNAME across all English-language sources.
Unless their argument is correct, and we should use only local names? If so then that should be clarified too. DankJae 13:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
