Wikipedia talk:WikiProject France/Paris

message: If anyone is interested one can start a series of articles on lycees/senior high schools of Paris. Each article should be in:
* French
* English
* Any other languages commonly spoken at the school, determined by the reliable sources discussing these linguistic groups and/or if the school posts documents for parents in languages other than English and French. Possible languages include Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish but there may be others

thread_title:  Idea: Articles on  the senior high schools/lycees of Paris 

message: Hi, I'm new here and want to contribute to Wikipedia. I'm a bit lost as well but I found "Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Paris". I would love to help out in any Paris related articles as I can, particularly in taking photos in Paris for various Paris related articles that have missing pictures. I would love to join the "WikiProject France/Paris" but more importantly I want to learn everything I need to know...
I'm born and live in Paris by the way and I speak fluent French as well. Hope you can help me out through text chat or something outside of wikipedia.org since I have difficulty navigating the website (for now).
Thank you!  --James Tamim (talk) 16:50, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello James Tamim. You might want to visit Help:Getting started. If you need specific help with something try Wikipedia:New contributors' help page. Navigating can be confusing. I have been on here for 3 years and I still don't know where to go for many things. If you need help contributing to a Paris-related topic, feel free to ask here and someone may help you out.

Talk:Effendi

message: Though the common Western spelling is "effendi", for reasons which are not relevant either to the Turkish language itself (e.g. because the -υθ- of the Greek word ὀ αὐθέντης should imply this gemination) or to none of the Turkic languages which use this title (Azəri and others), the only correct spelling is efendi, with a single consonant. As this is no English word, but a Turkish one, I can see no reason why this is spelled such, because of the ignorance of 18th and 19th searchers. It would be, thus, correct and respectful to move the article to take into account the right spelling. Korenyuk 18:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct spelling 

message: I have seen the name Effendi used in several places, not limited to Turkish usage, and in my particular experience especially in Persian usage. Is the term used somewhat universally, like some french terms are in modern english? (for example) Peter Deer (talk) 21:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Goat Rocks

message: I personally don't care what order these two are in on the article, but there's no need to remove one in favor of the other.  For the record, I was the one who wrote this article in the first place, because of a red link on the Mount St. Helens article.  To remove the section on the rock formation completely will only serve to confuse anybody who clicks on Goat Rocks on the MSH article. --Billdorr 14:35, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the content should be retained and thank you for assuming good faith. I plan to add an image illustrating Goat Rocks (series of peaks) and additional content. Also, I may have an illustration of Goat Rocks (Mount St. Helens) taken while climbing a pre-eruption route in 1977. I think that Goat Rocks (Mount St. Helens) should be moved into its own article, the Mount St. Helens article should link directly to it and this article should have a link For the obliterated rock formation on Mount St. Helens, see Goat Rocks (Mount St. Helens) at the top.  Goat Rocks Wilderness, which I started, links to this article and would continue to do so after the reorganization. This is consistent with my reading of WP:D. BTW,  Goat Rocks (Mount St. Helens) is just my preference. I don't object to Goat Rocks (obliterated rock formation). --16:45, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Reshad Feild

message: The importance of Reshad Feild lies in:
1) the great influence he had in making Sufism popular in the west
Especially in the 1970 to 90ies, his work in this field can be regarded both as a substantial contribution to the the temporary spiritual and esoteric movement in the West as well as an important bridge-building function between the Abrahamitic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Many thousands of people have attended his lectures and seminars in Europe and North America over the decades, and he is frequently quoted in esoteric literature.
2) in his achievements as an best selling author
His novel "The Last Barrier" sold in millions of copies and is translated to some thirty languages. There are literary critics who rate this book as one of the classics of contemporary spiritual literature, such as Hesse's "Siddharta" or the works of Carlos Castaneda.

Talk:Imia islands

message: Sorry I (re-)instated the redirect before I noticed that it had been questioned and unmade before. I should have opened a discussion here before I did that.
The reasons I prefer the redirect are:
# This article essentially just duplicates information that was also contained in Imia/Kardak, formerly Imia-Kardak crisis.
# Having one article using only the Greek name, and other independent articles using both names side by side is misleading.
# As long as the international dispute continues to be unsolved, use of the double name seems preferable from a NPOV perspective.
We can still talk about whether it's preferable to have two separate articles, one just for the geographical information, and another for the political dispute. But this article previously was also trying to do both things at once. (E.g., the story about the American map was also used as an argument in the other article.) Lukas 14:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Scottburgh

message: I spent my teen years in Scottburgh and went to hostel in Port Shepstone. I remember 3 major cyclones which hit Mozambique and Natal which in geologacal terms cause 50-year floods. The first was either in 1984 or 85 (I was in Std 9 or Matric that year) and the main road bridge at Scottburgh connecting Durban to Port Shepstone was washed away. The second one was when I was 1987 while I was in the Army and the third was in 1988 and I remember that year the Tugela river bridge washed away.--Jcw69 14:50, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Here is an idea.
The Representation class is similar to a "container" and the Representation terms and the items put into the container.
:Not quite, at least not the way that ISO/IEC 11179 is currently specified.A Representation term is used as part of a Data element name. A Representation class provides a way to classify or group the associated Data elements.

message: There is much overlap between these pages. One page could cover the topic.
To start the ball rolling, I have prepared a major edit for this page. It covers nearly all the content of the existing "Instrument" page, together with some content of the "Information" page.
Initially I have leaned a little towards theory. There is a need to add something about the sensors that feed the EFIS.
The revamped page could include descriptions of some typical display details. Ideally, this part of the topic would use lots of pictures. I have none, hence the links to brochures, etc.

Talk:Kalanga language

message: The following paragraph comes from Karanga, now a redirect to here:
:The Karanga language was said by ancient Portuguese missionaries to be the language of the Munhumutapa's court. One of them wrote that the Karanga spoke with the ends of their tongues, as opposed to the more guttural sounds of the Arabic dialects. Today Karanga is the indegenous language spoken by more Zimbabweans than any other dialect of the Shona-speaking people. It is spoken mainly in the central and southern districts of the country in what is now Masvingo and Midlands provinces. When the Portuguese first heard it and now, the people speak using a lot of proverbs and similitudes. It is easily distinguished from other Shona dialects by its vigorous applicattion of the hard g where others use the soft r. For example. Kugwa (fighting) instead of kurwa in the other dialects. Here is a sample of Karanga:
:Gwendo gwangu guya gwarumwa negugwe. (my journey has been bitten by a ground cricket) In other words, I failed to undertake my journey for some reason.
Some of this can probably be merged into this article; however, judging from the writing style it could be a copyvio and anecdotal observations like "the people speak using a lot of proverbs and similitudes" are not really helpful either. — mark ✎ 16:48, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
