Wikipedia talk:Proposal for a spelling standardization talk header

message: Isn't this the foolproof way to keep the spelling of words like colour / color unchanged? See the source code of that sentence. Smalljim 00:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting idea, but it would probably be a pain to use in practice and be disruptive in the editing window. See the source code of my reply, for an example of how it might not be a good idea for general use. Nihiltres(t.c.s) 01:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Haha! But as you know, that's just vandalism and would be dealt with as normal. It wouldn't be necessary to add a comment to every occurrence of a disputed spelling; just at strategic points when reverting. The advantage is that unlike a template it's impossible to miss, and when they've seen a few of these comments, most would-be spelling-changers will get the point, won't they? It seems to have worked so far here (see my edits of 24 April). Anyway, there you are - it's just an idea I had, so I thought I'd throw it in when I came across this discussion last night.

Talk:The Secret of Hanging Rock

message: There is only one External Link and that is to someone's essay about the solution to why the girls went missing - which more or less dismisses Joan Lindsay's ending by saying it's inconsistent with the rest of the novel. The essay is written by someone who has obviously spent time looking into this, but I'm wondering what its value is in the light of Joan Lindsay's ending. More External Links are required that analyse Joan Lindsay's ending. Mickraus 20:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Buses/Bus route list guide

message: Is it necessary to write a manual of style page for this? >Radiant< 16:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a formatting guide for the WikiProject, in part to provide a consistent format, to ensure that articles include history and not just the current status, and to ensure that redirects from minor routes work properly. There's an actual manual of style subpage for highway exit lists; I'm not even proposing this a MoS subpage, just a subpage of the project. --NE2 16:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Isn't some of that, like the frequency and times, subject to change pretty easily? If we include the present status, we should also include the history, which would make for several paragraphs of minor frequency changes. The fares are probably also better handled on a single page that talks about bus fares on the entire system. --NE2 01:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed.  There's no need to formalize things.  That need arose out of the way the exit list guide was being used at that WikiProject, but I have faith that the same won't occur here. ;-) -- NORTH talk 23:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Southern Evangelical Seminary

message: I revised the faculty section to differentiate between fulltime resident faculty and visiting faculty, to prevent potential students from getting the false impression that Gary Habermas, Frank Beckwith, etc teach at the school full time.
I posted the POV check on this site because this is merely an advertisment. I have nothing against the school; however, this is merely an advertisment, written in the first-person, that reads like it was taken directly off an admissions website for the school.

Peirce which mentions this word: "It must not be forgotten that Aristotle was an Asclepiad, that is, that he belonged to a family which for generation after generation, from prehistoric times, had had their attention turned to vital phenomena; and he is almost as remarkable for his capacity as a naturalist as he is for his incapacity in physics and mathematics."

thread_title: Untitled

message: There is a common habit in WP of adding translations of a place name at the start of an article, which was done here today and removed by me. The guidelines (sorry I cannot find a link) are clear - add a foreign name if that name appears in a significantly large number of English language sources. NOT, because the topic has a connection of sorts with a foreign language. The Maori name added does not appear in a sizeable number of reliable English sources. In fact it is not a translation of Cashmere suburb in any case. A valid use of a foreign name is, eg, The River Plate, (Spanish - Rio de la Plata), because the Spanish term is very often used in English sources, perhaps today more commonly than River Plate.

replies: text: Hi, the Māori name for Cashmere is Te Iringa-o-Kahukura (more precisely it's in the lower parts of the suburb itself). This should be mentioned better then it currently is, since Māori history is significantly important to chch history. I will incorporate the content removed if no objections are made, (note: having the mindset of "I just don't like it" isn't a valid point to make in a discussion.)

Talk:Flanders/Archive 1

message: Dear reader, dear editor,
I've the impression that this page contains several severe errors that, moreover, all suggest either an important ignorance about institutional changes of the last decennia, either an anti-Flemish bias:
* After correctly stating that "Flanders (...) is the name for the Dutch-speaking northern region of the federal state of Belgium", you the completely omit that, just as well also the Flemings in Brussels are fully part of Flanders. You thus completely forget about the Flemish community. 
* You state that Flanders has nearly six million of Belgium's 10.3 million inhabitants; this appears to deny the existence of Flemings in Brussels, numbering between 150 and 200.000.
* You state: "In Flanders, a strong separatist movement, called the Flemish movement, is active.".  This is a gross simplification of real opinions in the Flemish movement.  Being a member of the general council of the 'Overleg van Vlaamse verenigingen (OVV), I must add that the common denominator in the Flemish movement is equal rights and autonomy for the Flemings; some want to achieve this trough independence, others trough federalism, and still others trough confederalism.
* Finally, contemporary institutions and history are heavily neglected.
Yours sincerely, Rudi Dierick, Kazernenlaan 22, B-1040 Brussels

Talk:Avraham Brandwein

message: The article - rightly, as far as I know, though I don't know the relationship to the dynasty of the "Strettiner" Rebbes with surname Flam -- labels Brandwein "the Admor [=Rebbe] of Stretten". Stretten, Stretin, etc are all transcriptions of the Yiddish form of Stratyn, a shtetl on the outskirts of the small Ukrainian city of Rohatyn. The dynasty derived from Uri ("Irale") of Strelisk an exceptional emphasis on sincerity of kavvanah in prayer -- and Czech author, Ba'al Tshuva and friend of Kafka, Jiří Langer, says that who has not heard the Streteners daven has never known the meaning of piety. R. Avraham Brandwein seems to have learned from the Ashlag school a re-emphasis on theoretical study of Kabbalah.
I think that we need to start an article on Stretener Chasidus and collate all material relating to the Brandwein (and maybe Flam) Rebbes and their relatives (e.g. Naftule Brandwein the Klezmer clarinettist) under this.  UnknownSage (talk) 17:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
