message: Wadi Ara  is a valley, I would think that even the present co-ord in that article are far too precise, Huldra (talk) 22:30, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not just a valley, it's one of the most strategically important "mountain" passes in the whole country (steep sloped hills, no real mountains there, at most the Carmel would count in Europe as such). And it's quite long and winding, so indicating one single spot is nonsense. Giving the entry and exit point of the pass makes sense, plus where the wadi flows into a bigger one or the Med, and probably the main spring. Not easy. Arminden (talk) 23:14, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Yafa an-Naseriyye

message: I think the article should be renamed to either Yafia (the common name in Hebrew), or Yaffa al-Naseriyya (or something similar), which is the common name in Arabic (Jaffa of Nazareth). Yafa is just a short unofficial name, which should not be the title of the article. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 23:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yafa is the name on all of the maps of Israel I've seen, but I see how Yafa could be misleading because of its similarity to Yaffa or Tel Aviv-Yafo and so I agree on the name change. Since the town's inhabitants are all Arabs I say we change the name to Yaffa an-Naseriyye with Yafi'a, Yafia, Jaffa of Nazareth and perhaps Yafa with one f redirected to the article. Do you think we should also add some kind of link on the Jaffa page for Yaffa an-Naseriya? -- Al Ameer son 23:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree - the article states that the name is either Yafi'a or Yafa al-Naseriyye, thus it should be one of the two. I would also agree with Al Ameer son that as it is an Arab locality that the Arabic name be used. Number 57 10:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Adrenal cancer

message: Currently, this page describes two very different entities, adrenocortical carcinoma and pheochromocytoma, under a common title. This is undesirable for several reasons: 1) Pheochromocytoma is a vastly more mature page, 2) most pheochromocytomas are benign, so the term "cancer" is inappropriate, 3) there is a division of contributions regarding adrenocortical carcinoma between this page and that one. I'd propose moving relevant content from this page to the more specific ones (mostly adrenocortical carcinoma), and making this page a redirect to a new disambiguation page: Adrenal tumor. -RustavoTalk/Contribs 19:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wadi Ara, Haifa

message: I realised that me or whoever put En Esur on that page probably didn't check if the ancient site is indeed on lands formerly owned by the village; maybe you can do that? It probably is, considering the water sources, but better make sure. Covid times are almost over and me hanging out on Wiki will get much less as well, thankfully. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 22:03, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the "Tell el Asawir" is located about 1km NW of Wadi Ara, Haifa, so I think it is ok to have some info there. Huldra (talk) 22:30, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi , I knew very well that the site is 1 km NW "from the mukhtar's house" so to say, but a) I hesitated to add that bit because I'm not sure it's included in the source indicated at the end of that sentence (technical, can easily be solved), and more importantly b) as you have written in dozens of village articles, the LANDS of a village are always seen as integral part of the village space, plus c) especially in the Middle East, but actually anywhere, the main water sources are not just essential, but the very core of why a village exists in a certain place - and the site in question is full of water, it has two springs. So 1 km means nothing. If the water rights belong to a Bedouin tribe, En Esur has no business being even mentioned on the village page (but that's unlikely). That's why I wrote that somebody should "check if the ancient site is indeed on lands formerly owned by the village". That matters. 500 m, 1 km or 10 km is almost irrelevant.

Talk:Administrative divisions of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug

message: Where does Uelen fit in?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.149.197.132 (talk • contribs).
:Not on this page :)  The lists on administrative divisions of Russian federal subjects only include districts, cities/towns, and urban-type settlements.  Uelen is a village, and should be listed in the article about Chukotsky District (once it's written), along with other villages of that district.  The reason why villages are excluded from this kind of lists is due to the large numbers of villages (some federal subjects have a few thousand of them)—including them would overwhelm the page.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Salakanagara

message: The Salakanagara Kingdom is the first historically recorded Indianised kingdom in Western Java. The kingdom existed between 130-362 AD.[1][2]
Claudius Ptolemaeus (160 AD) wrote about Java in his book, Geographie Hypogenesis. He mentions the name of Argyre Chora (meaning: Silver Nation) in Labadio. According to the historian, Labadio means Dwipa-Javaka, Dwipa-Javaka or Java Dwipa, which is the ancient name of Java Island. 
There was one kingdom which rule west coast Java in 160 AD, Salakanagara. Salakanagara means “Silver Nation”. It reinforces the theory that Ptolemaeus may have visited Java in 160 AD.[3][4]
A relatively modern literature in the 17th century Pustaka Rajya Rajya i Bhumi Nusantara describes Salakanagara as being founded by an Indian merchant from Pallava Kingdom.[3] 114.79.4.155 (talk) 01:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Salaka negara 

message: Polemik Salakanagara: Meninjau Kebenaran Bukti Historis Salakanagara dalam Pentas Sejarah Kuno di Indonesia, Wildhan Ichzha Maulana, 2023,  (open-access)
The article is in Bahasa Indonesia but it has an English abstract that says (roughly) that Salakanagara is mythical, but it traces the origins of the myth.
Note about reliability: I had no prior knowledge of Diakronika. I have decent confidence that they are a respectable, if niche, journal, based on the following clues: (1) their page about the peer review process indicates a rather long review process (and not a "publish within two weeks!" ad typical of predatory journals); (2) their article processing charge (2m IDR = $130) is somewhat on the low side; (3) the journal has been operating since 2017 and is not on predatory journal lists such as this one.

Talk:Third umpire

message: I think this content could be merged into Video referee. Video referee could be developed as a summary page to show how these officials are used across different sports (see Penalty card as an example). Although third umpire is of course the name given in cricket, "video referee" would also be a more descriptive title.  Comments welcome.  Goldfinger820 (talk) 10:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that video referee should be the summary page, but do not see why that would mean this page should be merged into it. video referee should, and does, contain some brief information on the third umpire while this page can go into more details. Mattlore (talk) 23:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Mattlore, the Third Umpire article can go into a lot more detail than a brief summary on the Video Referee page. It should be possible for each sport to have a page as well as a summary on the main video ref page. LunarLander // talk // 00:08, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Secret City

message: Most of the characters mentioned only showed up in Commander Mark's drawings, not as other persons on the show. The other characters who appeared on the show were an android called Zebtron, Cindy the Dragon and Metaman. I also recall vividly the episodes where Commander Mark talked to an animator for the show who made several short pieces involving a character called Elmo. The principle of squash and stretch was demonstrated. The other guests were really very informative, talking about new directions in art such as plastic sculpture and computer painting, and there were often segments that were more effective at teaching art appreciation and color theory than anything I got in the public schools.

Talk:Administrative divisions of Sverdlovsk Oblast

message: This page shouldn't be trying to combine two languages into one article, they should be separated into  different pages. --Asklepios 00:25, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's  only partially true.  In general, a Russian equivalent would not be needed when a link is blue (the idea being that the Russian spelling would be given in the lead of the article linked to).  However, most of the links in this list are red, so there is no other suitable place to show Russian names (a separate article for them is a bad idea because a page in Russian is unsuitable in this English Wikipedia).  What's more, since this is a list (i.e., not an article), having Russian equivalents for each entry (blue or red) is consistent with the spirit of what lists are about.  Finally, due to the fact that numerous romanization methods could be used to transliterate any Russian name, restoring original Cyrillic is not always possible by just looking at the romanized name; hence providing Russian names is useful to readers.  Hope this helps.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This is now regarded by some people as one of the worst programme's ever made, maybe it was, but it would be worth clarifying what the problems were or weren't.  I only have very slight memories of it from when I was a kid, but I did see a programme shown comparatively recently, there are a few clips on youtube.  The singing and dancing looked quite accomplished, but the style of it looked like something from another age.  I expect it had become a programme out of its time by the late 1960s, although this could be linked with all sorts of broader issues of tartanry and Scottish national identity.

# Should genera be covered here? (Since Hemiola is one of the “Genera unassigned to any subordinate taxa within Euglenida”, there is no better article.) But that would require adding a whole taxonomy section to this article.
# While there is no taxonomy section in this article, there is a pretty extensive one at Euglenozoa. Should redirects then point to the higher taxon? That seems counterintuitive to me.

message: Not only is the entire paragraph that mentions why they're not considered animals completely unsourced, it also pretends that the only reason why they're not considered animals is the lack of sexual reproduction. Which I find absolutely ridiculous for a number of reasons. 1) Animals aren't the only organisms with sexual reproduction, it is literally a defining quality of almost all organisms including fungi and plants. 2) Tons of animals have no sexual reproduction. 3) If they're not considered animals because of this rule, then what are they considered? Rocks? Because you could also say they're not plants for the same reason. Bacteria, maybe?
