replies: text: I've added a section mentioning pâte à foncer and pâte brisée (although the article could probably do with being rearranged to avoid giving one type of shortcrust pastry undue prominence).

message: The first half of this sentence sounds like it's saying the word "short" itself in "shortcrust" is etymologically a reference to gluten chain length. "Short" refers to one of the definitions of the word, "flaky; crumbly" first attested from the early 15th century, likely not in reference to gluten chain length. This sentence should be rephrased somehow. Therismos (talk) 03:04, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Kabaddi

message: History of Kabbadi - Kabbadi is an ancient sport that originated in Tamil Nadu. There are indications of Kabbadi in various ancient Tamil Scripts which date the sport to be more than 4,000 years old. It was a very popular sport played in the early centuries as a way to develop the physical strength, agility and reflexes. The name 'Kabbadi' is derived from the Tamil words 'Kai Pudi', which translates to 'Holding Hands', a very common move seen in the game. Factualcritic (talk) 11:30, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

I've been watching this sport on YouTube, both professional and an amateur college club. I haven't seen any example featuring a raider chanting anything. And really, cheating (breathing) without being caught would be so easy, surely they aren't attempting to enforce that?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.47.51.78 (talk) 13:16, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

message: The citation for the statement that dying referes to orgasm comes from the annual Christmas edition of the British Medical Journal, which contains spoof articles and farces. The information contained therein is not intended to be taken seriously. I have therefore removed the text, pending another source for this statement being found.

message: The assertion that Herrick's verse fell flat with "an audience whose tastes were tuned to the complexities of the metaphysical poets such as John Donne and Andrew Marvell" is inappropriate.  During his lifetime, Marvell was only known for his satires.  Another comparison would be better.
It may be worth noting that Rose Macaulay's novel "They were defeated" is centred on Robert Herrick.  --Martin Wyatt (talk) 21:41, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Teenage Fanclub

message: On 2 December 2005 this article was flagged as being a copyright violation, however, I believe that this is not the case and so I have removed the copyvio flag.
It is alleged that the article is copied from the 'copyright 2004' text at radiotakeover, and indeed the text of that page is identical to the wikipedia article as it appeared between 9 March 2005 and 3 June 2005. However, the text as it appeared at wikipedia at that time was not the result of a single large edit but rather a number of smaller incremental edits. In particular edits from 31 August 2004 and 6 September 2005 have shaped the article. There are two things of note about these edits. Firstly, although the resulting article was essentially the same as the alleged copyvio text, there are a number of important differences between it and the identical version of 9 March 2005. Secondly, these edits were made in August and September 2004, yet according to the Internet Archive radiotakeover did not even have an article on Teenage Fanclub in October 2004. So it seems that the text at radiotakeover was copied from wikipedia and not the other way round.   JeremyA 02:01, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Dakinis

message: A clarification: Originally, this article was titled Dakini (Buddhism) and there was a different article titled Dakini. I decided to merge them, but, when I did the merge, I found that almost all the merged text came from Dakini (Buddhism) (some of it had been placed verbatim in both articles). So, I merged the old Dakini into Dakini (Buddhism), then moved the old Dakini to Dakinis and moved the Dakini (Buddhism) to become the new Dakini, thus preserving the better edit history. The talk pages did not move, although everything on Talk:Dakini (Buddhism) appears verbatim on this page as well. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 00:29, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Clarification

message: This article seems to consist largely of unclear, non-factual claptrap (particularly, definiton 2.)
:That's true. It was even worse before. It's best to avoid having serious pages link here. That's why we had Dakini (Buddhism)) as a separate article. Someone merged the pages, but I'm going to restore it to the previous version. "Dakini" in Buddhism is a different concept from the weirdness discussed here. - Nat Krause 07:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I came back (exactly 1 year later, as it happens) and have re-merged the pages. I did this basically by chopping out all sorts of unsourced weirdness from this page. It was almost like a cut-and-paste move, actually, since I took very little from the existing dakini article. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 15:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Claptrap/merge

message: The gloss "(lit. Sky Dancer)" is given for Dakini. This is inaccurate though very loosely based on the Tibetan translation of the term, mkha'-gro-ma, "she who travels the sky". However, this rendering is based on a false Sanskrit etymology for an Indic word which is probably of Munda origin. It is likely that dakinis were originally tribal shamanesses who chanted, drummed and invoked spirits as suggested by cognate words.--Stephen Hodge 01:19, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: This article is much different that the Dakini article I wrote a few years ago.

Talk:Greek campaigns in India

message: From the article: The Greeks then founded the city of Taxila. Are there any sources for this? From what I know, Taxila (or Takshashila as it was called) was a city that had already been there for quite long before Alexander came to India.
Did Alexander really 'conqure' India?
An alternative view by Prof. Dinesh Agrawal which refutes the view that Alexander won any war on Indian soil:
http://sify.com/itihaas/fullstory.php?id=13225593
That is a pseudo-historical site. You can check out any of the ancient sources which he refers to, none of them supports this rambling in the least. Then of course, Alexander did not conquer India in its modern sense, being restricted to Punjab in the north-west corner.

replies: text: Greek conquests in India →  – The more suitable name for this wikipedia page is Greeks in India. This proposed title is similar to other existing wikipedia pages such as Greeks in Egypt and Greeks in Italy, etc. Furthermore, the Ottoman conquest of Greece is titled Ottoman Greece instead of using a charged narrative. The present title does not differentiate the different campaigns and has a weak grouping. The only shared similarities is the diaspora in South Asia, which is covered in the proposed title. Additionally the present title is also disputed by other users in the talk page, as conquests should be seen as invasions. Since the Seleucid Empire lost more land after the conclusion of the Seleucid-Maurya War, it should be regarded as a failed invasion instead of a glorified conquest. The titles current narrative does not fit all of the contents in the page. Instead of disputing the difference of invasions and conquest, the title should be less charged and follow the precedence set by other wikipedia pages. Vajra Raja (talk) 02:00, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: A good idea

message: This is a good idea for a page, and it reminded me of something I've meant to try and find for a while; could we find some page that exhibits an "idyllic" editing history --- a pristine example of collaborative editing? Such a history might fit criteria along the lines of:
* Start: the article starts off as a reasonable stub
* End: it ends up as an excellent article -- maybe a Featured Article
* Incremental: it has grown "incrementally" -- relatively small edits and refactorings over a large(ish) period of time
* Monotonic: each edit has been an improvement
* Collaborative: it has had significant contributions by a number of editors
* Harmonious editing: it has avoided edit wars
* Edit summaries: the edit summaries have been filled-in and descriptive
* Refactoring, not deletions: errors or POV is reworked rather than simply deleted
Certainly great articles can (and should) be written which don't follow such a pattern, of course. — Matt 02:24, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
