Talk:List of cities in South Korea

message: as i added a site showing my sources for the population stats, it seems wrong to leave the lack of sources sign up, but obviously more sources are needed, so i'm not taking it off.
Please, if anyone has the time, could some of this information be expanded a bit and pictures found.  I pulled the basic format off the cities of china which has many more cities listed.  More cities could be listed for Korea, but more information would need to be pulled up for them.  The hanguel is already on the page, just cut and paste.  As for the next cities, just pull them off the link I left at the bottom. That's easy enough.
Secondly, should the hanguel be merely the city name, as I gave listed it or should it be the full name as listed above it?  I was torn on this.

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: The assertion that the English name Henry is derived from Germanic "Heinrich" is incorrect or at least misleading. The early medieval English nobility who adopted the use of the name were French-speaking and frequently continued to own estates in France, so it would be more accurate to say that the name is borrowed from French but ultimately derives from a Germanic base.

I'm a little unsure re where to place the ones with Henry as a personal name, mainly rulers.

Talk:Trepanning

message: In ancient times, holes were drilled into a person who was behaving in what was considered an abnormal way to let out what people believed were evil spirits. Evidence of trepanation has been found in prehistoric human remains from Neolithic times onward. The bone that was trepanned was kept by the prehistoric people and may have been worn as a charm to keep evil spirits away. Evidence also suggests that trepanation was primitive emergency surgery after head wounds to remove shattered bits of bone from a fractured skull and clean out the blood that often pools under the skull after a blow to the head. Hunting accidents, falls, wild animals, and weapons such as clubs or spears could have caused such injuries. Trepanations appear to have been most common in areas where weapons that could produce skull fractures were used. The primary theories for the practice of trepanation in ancient times include spiritual purposes and treatment for epilepsy, head wound, mental disorders, and headache, although the latter may be just an unfounded myth. 2409:4085:9C93:78F0:0:0:9C0B:C90F (talk) 09:12, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: The article was originally spread over several articles such as "mouth music", "scat", "diddling" etc., that described different traditions of using the mouth and voice to make music without lyrics. These were merged to form the current article. I liked the generic term "Mouth music" but which name do you suggest it be moved back to? To me, the title, "Vocal music", suggests songs with lyrics as well as those without and thus is too broad. -- Derek Ross | Talk 05:52, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:St. Bartholomew's Day massacre

message: Hard to believe that but the page is in the wrong place. This article refers to a single event known as the (specific) St Bartholomew's Day Massacre, not one (particular) St Bartholomew's Day massacre out of many. "The massacre on St Bartholomew's Day" would be correct, but this phrasing isn't.
That's just simple  grammar, but—for the process hounds—yes, the correct grammar is also substantially the more  in actual use. Google Scholar's searches can't parse by capitalization as far as I know but scanning the first few pages of results shows the correct capitalization is similarly generally favored in scholarly sources as well. (Keeping or not keeping the period is a  issue as far as I know, but it's more commonly written with the period in this instance, anyway.)

From what I could see, only the area on the north side of the river between Pyongyang Station and Pyongyang Thermal Power Plant, and then on the east side of the river surrounding Juche Tower and the Party founding monument, are on what could be described as a roughly north-south–aligned grid. Much of the rest of the city is rather more disordered, with diagonal grids, grids orthogonal to whatever major road, railway or river delimits them, or wholly organically arranged. The spaces in those grid squares themselves are also often disordered. The wording implies a somewhat uniform grid like in Beijing or Los Angeles, covering a majority of the city, but that's just not the case here.
