message: Quick question: in the account of the N'shire - Kent match, the match was drawn because...?  Had time expired, thus implying the captain had declared too late?  His side was winning on points but hadn't allowed time to let his side take 10 wickets.  Is that right?  Just looking for clarification.

Template talk:Infobox weapon

message: I would like to add several elements to this Infobox:
*Developed from
*Developed into
*Predecessor
*Successor
If we take for example the Canadian armoured vehicles LAV, all evolve from each other, and some replace each other. The LAV III replaced the LAV. The LAV 6 replaces the LAV. 
They also take their origin from the Mowag Piranha family, and were also developed into the ASLAV, the Stryker, the LAV 700. 
There are so many weapons that were an evolution from another vehicle, it would help to get with the 4 bullet points a better understanding for the context of the existence of the vehicle in a very concise manner. Fabrice Ram (talk) 08:36, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Tsuchigumo

message: Where do we even start with this ridiculous article? I love this line: Folklore attributes a race of underground dwarves called the Tsuchigumo to the Japanese Alps. 
Oh, Folklore, my old friend, he's usually too drunk to remember where those underground dwarves of the Japanese Alps were to, you know, actually reference any of this information from actual journals, books or even a personal blog ... at this point anything, really, would have been nice, simply to prove that 99% of this article wasn't made up or plagiarized or, as the French call it, total crap. 
I tried, I wanted to fix this, I started by going through Google Book Search and the problem was that all the information I found was completely divorced from anything written here. So either all books in Google written on the subject of Tsuchigumo are wrong, or someone wrote gibberish here (uncited, unreferenced, as so much of Wiki is), so, you future editors, take your pick. Reverse my edits or do that hard thing they call research, it's a nice black/white dichotomy. 
I leave you a "suggested reading" section because I'm getting to the point where I really don't care anymore if anyone takes Wikipedia seriously. The sad thing is that all this information -- correct, culturally-sensitive information -- is there on Google Books, we're not even asking for people to go to a library or read an actual book, and yet still these articles come off verging on illiteracy all the time. If Jimmy Wales ever wants to know why he can't get quality editors or readers to donate money, just pull up almost any article in Japanese folklore and hang your head in shame. If every article I come upon is grossly factually wrong and none of them have been looked at since 2004, considering that life is amazingly short, why does this website even exist except as a bad reminder of what could've been, after all, if only the powers that be at Wiki actually had something that resembled standards.

They also had under their presence one of the five Magatama, which Raikoh's sister, Hikaru, planned on using to restore her brother.

message: Kami2018
Why did you revert my changes in this article? They all are relevant, as medieval sources mention Oghuz and Turkmen in parallel and as the same people.
Bayram A.
Well first of all you have added sayings without any reference such as "The anicent Turkmen proverb says: "Kayi and Bayat tribes shall lead the people" (Turkmen: "Il başy - gaýy-baýat")" . Although it might be true but has no reference and to add further its for Turkoman (ethnonym).  
The reason behind creation of that article Turkoman (ethnonym) was to clear the confusion between Turkoman and Turkmen. Turkmen is part of Turkoman but Turkoman is synonymous to Oghuz turks which i am sure you know includes Turkish, Turkmen and Azeris. Ottomans are Ottoman turks which are Turkish speaking people and you have changed information without discussion and without references. 	
Secondly you changed Turkish to turkic but you turned turk to turkmen to all the places without any reference. Clearly a bias towards turkmen ethnicity. Kami2018 (talk) 07:18, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

This cannot be. Grant was still fighting the Civil War in 1864. Lee did not surrender to Grant until 1865.
Grant was president from 1869 to 1877.
