Talk:La Paz Department (El Salvador)

message: What does "SV" mean?  RickK 21:18, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)
:I presume Salvador, to differentiate it from La Paz Department in Bolivia and La Paz department in Honduras. All three could use some name juggling, I just don't know to what.
This one should probably be La Paz Department, El Salvador, then.  RickK 19:27, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Rosen (biologist)

message: Robert Rosen's work has always generated both extreme appreciation and extreme anger, depending on the attitude and point of view of the individuals in the audience. I've been present in the audience at his talks and I have seen that firsthand; signed, Judith Rosen
"In biology he is well known for a class of relational cell models called (M,R)-systems he devised."
This is false. Robert Rosen is not well known by any biologist I know, his (M,R) model is not mentioned in any mainstream textbook about Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry or Biophysics and its conclusions are not accepted except by a few researchers whom speciality is not Physics or Biology but Mathematics.
:Adjusted accordingly to "is known by some".  He is known by biologists, but I agree, not widely. --Lexor|Talk 21:30, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: From the standpoint of Wikipedia, I wouldn't know. The bridge and the battle would be two separate articles, mind you, which would solve the problem. The most usual name of the battle in English is, by far, Battle of the Milvian Bridge — and as you know, it's worth its own article because of the apparition of the Christian sign in the sky; which, as you probably also know, may not have occurred, if it did occur, at the Milvian Bridge at all, since Eusebius I believe mentions it while Maxentius is still in Northern Italy. The most usual name of the bridge in Latin — of this I personally am much less certain — is Pons Mulvius with a U, although Milvius is also seen. The modern Italian name of the bridge, which is not Roman except possibly for the pilings, is Ponte Molle although Ponte Milvio, like so many names from classical Antiquity, started making a resurgence during the period of Mussolini's visions of grandeur: but I think Romans currently call it mostly Ponte Molle.

Indeed Copley Place addresses are seen in the BHUSD school zone system so that area seems to be zoned to Beverly Hills Schools. The LACOE and US Census Bureau maps seem to have an error there. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:49, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Taraf de Haïdouks

message: A anon recently changed "Haidouk" to "Haïdouk". I presume that is the Turkish? I don't believe I've seen it written that way on materials from the group themselves (who are Romanian, and "ï" does not exist in Romanian). But I'm not of either of these nationalities. Can someone with more of a clue clarify? -- Jmabel 02:53, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
And now (about 2 years after that last remark) the explanation of "haiduc" has been changed from thief or bandit to outlaw. Is that right? An outlaw is someone with the specific status that they have been deemed to be outside the protection of the law and anyone is free to kill them. I don't believe that "haiduc" carries that connotation at all, but I'm not native in Romanian and don't speak any Turkish, so perhaps I am wrong. - Jmabel | Talk 19:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In a Romanian context, it is generally used for "outlaw", and is virtually always Robin Hoodesque. It is probable that it was used as "thief" etc in the very beginning, but Romanian only kept this meaning. (Main meaning on DEX online: "Om care, răzvrătindu-se împotriva asupririi, îşi părăsea casa şi trăia în păduri, singur sau în cete, jefuind pe bogaţi şi ajutând pe săraci"). Btw, I think all problems could be avoided altogether by simply giving "the taraf of the hajduks", and none other, as a translation. Dahn 20:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The linked article hajduk (not really a translation, because it is barely even a loan word in English) mentions both "outlaw" and "highwayman".

Talk:Danny Kaye

message: I don't know how to make acceptable corrections. I thought it might be easier if I just tell you what they are and someone who knows how can figure it out.
According to the Declaration of Intention (to Naturalize) declared by Jacob Kaminsky (Danny Kaye's father) was born in Kiev Russia (not Yekaterinoslav) and arrived on the SS American on 15 Jan 1906. (Ancestry.com image).
According to the passenger manifest, Jankel Kaminski arrived on the SS Amerika, Jan 14, 1906 on List (aka page) 17, line 7. He was traveling alone. While difficult to read, it appears his last permanent residence was Tuchow (I think this is meant to be Obuchow; more on this later). (Ellis Island image.)
Jakob's wife, Chaie (later Clara), and children, Lev (later Sam) & Motel (later Mac), arrived on the SS Estonia, Dec 1908.According to their manifest, their last permanent residence was Obuchaw, Kiew Gub[ernia] and they were all born in the same place. (Ellis Island image.)
Obuchow is today, Obukhiv, Ukraine. Before WW1 (c1900), Obukhov was a part of the Kiev District, Kiev Province, Russian Empire. (JewishGen's Communities Database.)
In conclusion: Danny Kaye's family did not originate from Yekaterinoslav, but Obukhiv, Ukraine
