message: Apparently another editor took issue with the description of Hayden as "Indian" in the note about her winning Miss World, since she has English ancestry.  I've abbreviated their rather lengthy quibble down to an equivocating "Indian or part-Indian", but is even "part-Indian" justified?  I mean, she was born in India, even if she has some foreign blood.  Doesn't that make her Indian, full stop?  Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 17:42, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Catálogo alfabético de apellidos

message: I have searched repeatedly among the surnames listed under D in the Catálogo (thanks to the fact that, despite the document’s name, the surnames are not really alphabetically arranged), and have yet not been able to find Davide among them. However, according to this page here, the Davide surname in the Philippines can be traced back to no earlier than 1849, thus it should originate in the Catálogo. So anyway, could someone help me finally locate the surname in the document? What are the series of surnames that come before and after it? Would really appreciate it.

message: I am trying to figure the proposed merger. Cant see what it might achieve. Highlands and Islands has various meanings, some more or less vague than others. The electoral region, however, is very precisely defined, in terms of area and purpose, and should have its own article, as do each of the other electoral regions of the Scottish Parliament. Might make sense to move Highlands and Islands, as it is now, to Highlands and Islands (Scottish Parliament region), and then to move Highlands and Islands area to Highlands and Islands. Laurel Bush 12:47, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with this proposal, 'Highlands and Islands' is the general name, the electoral region is a specific use of this name, so having Highlands and Islands (Scottish Parliament region) is more appropriate. ::Supergolden:: 14:37, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sephardi Hebrew

message: I've been under the impression that there was also a type of Sephardi Hebrew used in everyday speech.
see also: talk pages on Ashkenazi Hebrew language and Mizrahi Hebrew language
Gringo300 10:43, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Modern Israeli Hebrew is often described as "sephardic" (although it is not).  Among sfaradim prior to the 1900s, the everyday languages were predominantly Judæo-Arabic and Judezmo (Ladino), and each community's pronunciation of Hebrew more or less reflected that reality... In places where variants of Judæo-Arabic were spoken, the number of consonant phonemes was generally larger and more often parallelled Teimani pronunciation (Sanaani, not overall Teimani) or the phonemic structure of the surrounding Arabic dialects, while in places where Judezmo was the spoken language, phonemes were regularly reduced to more closely match the phonemic structure of the particular Judezmo dialect, so for example, whereas in areas where Arabic speakers regularly differentiated between what are, in Hebrew, teth, taw and thaw, these distinctions might be preserved in the local Sfaradi pronunciation of Hebrew.  Judezmo, however, has but a single "t" sound, and so in such communities, the situation that has gained prominence in Israel is found:  the three different sounds are all just simply pronounced /t/.  Aside from sweeping generalizations, however, it's difficult to tack down boundaries of what constitutes "Sfaradi Hebrew" as opposed to "Modern Israeli Hebrew" or "Mizrachi Hebrew", which is why Sephardi Hebrew language is probably doomed to forever be rather stubby...

thread_title: NN link removed

message: Is there an explanation for using the three-letter acronym TTD to designate "Telecommunications Device for the Deaf"? Is this just a common mistake (using TTD where TDD was intended) or does it stand for an alternate expansion such as "Tele-Type for the Deaf"?
63.199.29.178 06:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would also like to know the answer to this question. I suspect it was influenced by TTY, an initialism it is often paired with (despite the following excerpt from the Telecommunications device for the deaf article: "In the US for example, the use of the term TDD is discouraged to avoid confusion with these partly-analog devices being referred to as TTYs.").

message: The current image appears to be a monochrome version of a 20th century painting. Does anyone know its origin, and whether it looks anything like Kaempfer? Andrew Dalby 12:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I also spent (too much) time looking into this. Just for future reference, this is the portait image in question. It does seem to be based on a painting done by Emil Schulz-Sorau in 1955, when he was an art teacher at the Engelbert-Kaempfer-Gymnasium school, which was renamed after Kaempfer in 1938. This portrait hangs in the school still, as seen here and on  the school's website. I was unable to find any evidence of any older portrait being referenced or anything to evidence that this portrait was based on anything other than speculation. Thus I've replaced it in the infobox with this image I uploaded, which is taken from a ~1730 map of Japan which was based on Kaempfer's observations. So it was still created after his death and probably fairly speculative since he wasn't very well-known during his lifetime. But I'll take speculation from 15-ish years after death over speculation from 250-ish years after! This new image is from the same source as that used for a display about him at the Japanese museum at Dejima (6th one down) so I'll concur with their judgement and assume there just isn't anything else really available. - Hargrimm | Θ 22:35, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: I've added "not verified" and "unsourced" tags to this article. No offence, it's an interesting and well-written article, but without verifiable references from reliable sources, it stands a good chance of being severely edited, if not deleted. Your claim that much of the article is based on verbal interviews implies that it is original research which is not allowed on Wikipedia, and there's also a bit too much speculation for my liking. --Canley 13:52, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gakhars

message: Question, one thing I have come across recently on Wikipedia is the emphasis on pre Islamic religions of Muslim tribes/clans of South Asia often in line with right wing hindu groups. Why is such emphasis not given to pre Hinduism religions of Hindu castes, say like the 'Ror'? Why is the pre Islamic religion of the Gakhars not mentioned in a separate history section? 
Another thing I would like to add is that the location of the Gakhars is not entirely accurate. Most Gakhars inhabit the Rawalpindi district of Punjab but that for some reason is missing here? Also, Gujranwala District has a miniscule Gakhar population and isn't associated with the population historically.
