Talk:Caesium-137

message: "The biological half-life of caesium isotopes is short (about 100 days for Cs-137)"
I don't think the biological half-life would depend on the isotope, as all isotopes share the same chemical properties.

Talk:Democratic Beginning

message: German is my mother tongue. The word "Aufbruch" does not translate into "Awakening;" not even close. The roots of both words have analogues in the other language. "Bruch" from "brechen" to "break" and "wake" from "wachen," to wake, to awaken.
Of the translations given in my dictionary, "decampment" is the best for "Aufbruch," since the GDR was to be undone, decommissioned, analogous to breaking camp.
The mistranslation leads to another question. Why would a Democratic Republic need a Democratic Awakening, when it is in the process of decampment, decommissioning?
76.11.95.137 (talk) 16:43, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I absolutely agree – "Awakening" is an awful mistranslation of "Aufbruch". I can't think of any context in which it would be correct. Should have been fixed years ago. (I guess the original author chose it because it starts with an A and thus works nicely for the acronym DA...?) I changed it to "Beginning", per . That's much closer to the meaning of "Aufbruch" in this context. But it's not really a translation either, more of a reinterpretation. Is there a better term? LEO lists several English words for "Aufbruch", e.g. "decampment" and "departure", but they are too literal. LEO also has "dawn of mankind" for "Aufbruch der Menschheit", which is fine, but "Democratic Dawn" would be a bit too poetic. There simply is no English word that has the same meaning as "Aufbruch". I actually think we should just use the German term, like many other Latin-script language Wikipedias (:ca:Demokratischer Aufbruch, :da:Demokratischer Aufbruch, :fr:Demokratischer Aufbruch, :nl:Demokratischer Aufbruch, :no:Demokratischer Aufbruch, :sv:Demokratischer Aufbruch), and add something like German for "Democratic Beginning" or "Democratic New Start" in parentheses. — Chrisahn (talk) 22:45, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency

message: Please edit Candidates and results > Elections in 2020s > Michael Chua – link is to incorrect individual (film producer not the politician) as there is only one entry for that name. Can someone correct that please? Thanks. otterman (talk) 11:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Hello, in recent months  (first editing under a IP and subsequently this account) added to all the PAP-led GRC pages that the constituency is led by the relevant cabinet minister and one or two others. Unfortunately, due to the numerous appointments some individuals hold, this has resulted in sentences like:
Tanjong Pagar GRC are helmed by Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, Second Minister of Finance and National Development Indranee Rajah and Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing.
East Coast GRC is led by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat. Heng is also the Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies. He co-leads with Maliki Osman, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister of Foreign Affairs and Second Minister of Education.
Tampines GRC is led by both Social and Family Development Minister, Second Health Minister (and Minister in-charge of Muslim Affairs) Masagos Zulkifli with Senior Minister of State from the Ministry of Health (Singapore) Dr Koh Poh Koon where Koh was moved from Ang Mo Kio GRC after his Yio Chu Kang Division is being crafted out to be a SMC for the 2020 General Election.
I find this extremely convoluted and messy. When Lee Hsien Loong was finance minister between 2001 and 2007, news media certainly did not call him "Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lee". Neither is Heng Swee Keat referred to as "Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat". Editorial-wise, the media refers to whichever appointment is appropriate within the context of the story.
I propose a) we remove all the appointments from all the names or b) we retain only their highest cabinet appointment. For senior ministers, we should use that appointment unless we are dealing with the specific period where they were a minister for a specific agency. Seloloving (talk) 11:32, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Please see . Whether or not it succeeds, it would bring a number of readers to this article. Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 18:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

text: This page may expand through time, because the topic is complex and there is much to say about it. I plan to expand the page; I'm following a course on Kerner's theory.

:I don't particularly understand your objection -- outside of the Wikipedia context, "point of view" is not a dirty word at all, and there's no reason on earth why we can't give a summary of the U.S. Government's officially-stated reasons for adopting a government policy on the Wikipedia article page which is devoted to that U.S. Government policy.  Furthermore, it's not the U.S. government policy which is said to be biased, but rather one-sided U.N. resolutions (in the opinion of the U.S. Government), and I don't see how this can reasonably be misunderstood.

replies: text: This article is about a speech delivered by a U.S. representative to the U.N. during a closed session, so naturally the summary of what the U.S. representative said expresses a U.S. view, and also it's not surprising that it wasn't publicly explained and justified in the same way that remarks in an open session probably would have been.  We don't even know that the U.S. representative said the word "terrorist" in the speech, but nevertheless the U.S. government did consider them to be terrorists...

thread_title:  Accurate term for the complex 

message: Just my opinion: The Mid Valley SouthKey section seems rather like an advertisement for the mall rather than an encyclopedic account. For example, there are too many shops/brands listed, people can just go to their website if they are interested. In comparison, MidValley Megamall has a reasonable amount and a list that has been selected to only identify important outlets. Therefore, I am proposing that the list under Mid Valley Southkey be culled to only reference important anchor tenants.

Talk:Italian motorcycle Grand Prix

message: I have tagged this as original research as there is no verification that this was the historic and universally-accepted name. I have checked 1965 and 1966 period UK magazine race reports in the house without any suggestion that it's anything-but Italian Grand Prix - at least in the English language and 'home'-market for news coverage. Similarly a 1969 hard-copy book entitled Motor Cycle Racing by Peter Carrick/Hamlyn publishing gives no clues.I've sent a talk page message to the originator of the text which can be seen in this edit back in 2006, but this editor is inactive since August 2014. So far I've only found an entry on MotoGP.com and the Italian Wikipedia where it appears the Italian name is Gran Premio delle Nazioni and is formatted on the Monza page (National Autodromo di Monza) as [[Gran Premio motociclistico delle Nazioni 1973|Gran Premio delle Nazioni del 1973}} relating to rider deaths.The prose implies the name applies back to 1949, and is being pipe-Wikilinked, formatted as [[Italian motorcycle Grand Prix|Nations Grand Prix}} so to continue being used, a better source - a hard-copy - is needed, not a latter-day website or another Wiki.
