Talk:Gong (title)

message: No one was translating anything into English under the Eastern Zhou and there are no temporal restrictions on when this gets translated into "duke", which is by far the more common translation at all ages. Gugong Danfu is the Ancient Duke or Duke of Gu, not a lord, which in English typically implies baron or lower in these contexts. Similarly, the common name of Duke Zhou was Duke Zhou. He had nothing whatsoever to do with the Eastern Zhou. — LlywelynII 04:07, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Beginning in the Eastern Zhou was when the titles of nobility gained the conception of an ordered list of political rankings. Prior to that the only titles of "nobility" (having an overtly political meaning) were 侯 and 男 (the latter of which is barely attested).Yes, for a long time English language sources confusingly used inappropriate titles from European feudalism drawn from the later 五等爵 to talk about Western Zhou figures, but greater understanding from excavated texts along with the efforts of certain scholars – most notably Li Feng, but also Yuri Pines and Paul Goldin – have begun correcting these misconceptions and using more appropriate terminology.We're probably stuck with "the Duke of Zhou" for awhile. It will take a long time to undo that damage. But there's no reason to perpetuate the usage of stupid incorrect terms applied backwards in time in a way they were never actually thought of onto Western Zhou figures just because the plurality of early English language sources fell into this trap.

Talk:Tai tou

message: There are a couple of errors in the current article:
# Nuo tai is still in use outside Taiwan, e.g., in Hong Kong. It might be a bit old fashioned, but it is still in use.
# Ping tai is very much still in current use in letters and is not old fashioned at all. There are two places in letters that really are ping tai if you think about it:
## The line break within the closing blessing in informal letters
## The line break within the address to recipient in formal letters

thread_title:  Not as old-fashioned as this article would have us believe 

message: *What does "above a normal line" mean? If "crlf" means "carriage return, line feed", does it mean this?:-
*# :: Dan tai: insert "crlf space"
*# :: Shuang tai: insert "crlf space space"
*# :: San tai: insert "crlf space space space"
** "San tai (Chinese: 三抬, literally "triple shift") as above, but three characters above a normal line; since Chinese writers customarily leave a margin of two characters for tai tou from the paper border, a san tai would require the first character to appear outside of the page borders" :: this seems to mean, if taken literally, that the first character would be in the air off the left edge of the paper!!! If "above" is literal, the raised characters would overlap the previous line of text above. Or what is intended?
**The examples shown in :zh:抬頭 seem to show that "san tai" respect of 天 ("heaven") is written with "crlf space space" before the character.

Talk:Maple butter

message: The content of the stub articles on maple cream and maple butter was almost identical as of August 2008. The maple cream article was longer and had references, and it appears to be the slightly more common term with 79,400 Google hits for "maple cream" vs. 54,300 for "maple buttter".  So I merged this to maple cream, and made this a redirect.  --Seattle Skier (talk) 01:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Maple butter is a common food in my neck of the woods.
It seems common to see people put large portions of butter in it as well as small portions and none at all.
Since maple syrup is primarily composed of sucrose, it seems like a few table spoons of fat would be appropriate as is used in another common recipe of mostly sucrose: Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge. This fudge recipe and many versions of it typically call for a few tablespoons of butter and two cups of sugar.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.241.83.46 (talk) 00:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Sugar Confectionery Manufacture, which I just borrowed from a library to research another article, makes no distinction by name for hot or cold. Hard and soft, yes, but temperature is just based on seed. Some seeds (eg, chocolate) will melt if heated, and others won't and thus will dry faster heated.

Talk:Uniformity and jurisdiction in U.S. federal court tax decisions

message: Talk page for: Uniformity and jurisdiction in U.S. federal court tax decisions.  I'm constructing this while also having to work on other things.  I hope to complete it by sometime Thursday, 12/6/07.  Substantive, editorial, and technical suggestions are welcome.  I've edited one previous wiki and this is the first one I've done from scratch.  Unfortunately, I've not found a comprehensive guide to creating an article and so my technical approach is pretty clunky.  For instance, a good samaritan posted the article and did some formating for it, but I don't know how to go in an make corrections to the text and complete the partial citation (it will use information from the second paragraph.  I don't see an edit button for the first paragraph, so am not yet able to make the corrections and additions.  I do see the edit box for the rest of the article, and I'm working on that now.
