Talk:Narsinh Mehta

message: Hi, I have consolidated, cleaned up, and cited the biography and poetic works section of this article. The previous approach contained multiple "biography" sections biographical events, with some sections being a heavy synopsis of a single reference vs other areas not being referenced at all
Most importantly, I've consolidated two biography sections into one cohesive section that includes both the "study of biography" as well as biographical events based on available literature. Have tried my best to preserve the original content where it made sense, but I've inserted it into the relevant areas to help the overall biography flow. I've also added structure where appropriate to reflect other wiki pages of notable poets/writers. Lastly there I've added content to more closely reflect the  the available references and pivotal moments that defined his legacy. Please let me know if any questions or other suggestions on the approach. Note: formatting consistencies (i.e., italicizing appropriate words) are still a WIP.

Talk:Patidar

message: Today I removed a large chunk of the article covering the claimed history of the clan, as it made strong claims for Kshatriya origin and descent from Ram that are directly controverted by academic sources (which I've now included in the article). MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:21, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed large section of uncited history claims 

message: There is an lurking question regarding the sources supporting the information recently added concerning Kurmi-Patidar marriages and also marriages between Gujarati Patidars and those from other states. They say that there is a perceived problem with the Gujarati Patidar community lacking sufficient brides due to a significant skew in the sex ratio. It is well known that, for example, female infanticide, is still practiced by some communities in India and that female children are more often seen as a burden than they would if in, say, the US or Europe (eg: because of dowries). More often than not in India, a significant skew is a consequence of deliberate discrimination at a young, even pre-birth, stage. Is there some other possible cause? We certainly need to say something. - Sitush (talk) 20:47, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Skew in sex ratio 

message: "The varna system comprises Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras, with those unclassified being untouchables. Broadly speaking, Vaishyas were business people involved in moneylending, trading and similar activities, while Shudras were manual workers"  --- Where is the evidence that those 'unclassified' were 'untouchables' ? What about the 'tribal' communities or groups like Lingayaths ?  Which authority traveled from place to place across the whole of india and provided such 'classification' to the thousands of endogamous groups ?  Most communities had no idea which varna they belonged to during the colonial census.
The above line in the article also mentions that Shudras were manual workers. I believe this has been taken from some  DharmaShastra like Manu Smriti. However, as per Arthashastra, duties of the Sudra are serving the twice-born (dvijati), agriculture, cattle-breeding, and trade (varta), the profession of
artisans and court-bards.

Talk:Richard Montague

message: Would be great to get some more work done on this...
-AlmostC
I've removed the reference to "rough trade" as a motive for his murder. Feferman and Feferman was quoted to this effect, but just having read that book today and since double-checking again the referenced pages, I'm certain that there is nothing at all that suggests "trade" in that work. "Trade" is the practice of an (often wealthy) homosexual man taking an (often poor) heterosexual man as a sexual partner. The Feferman's state that Montague did engage in high-risk behavior, such as cruising bars and bringing home strangers, and they state that he had been robbed once before during such an encounter, but again, there is no suggestion at all about "rough trade".
-spaecious
I don't think his work is especially influential in computational linguistics. I've done graduate work in both computational linguistics and traditional linguistics, and his work has much more impact in traditional linguistics.  In any case, such a claim needs attribution.
141.154.96.67 16:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, Montague's work has a stronger influence on what you see coming from linguistics departments than say computer-science departments (where it also has influence to this day, see as just one example Blackburn & Bos, 2005). But even when the influence is isolated to pure linguistics analyses, it's inherently computational in nature. So "computational linguistics" has a wide scope of meaning, and I think that's what the editor of this entry had in mind. 96.241.126.252 (talk) 07:59, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:James Baskett

message: "For example, he was unable to attend the film's premiere in Atlanta, Georgia because no hotel in the city would give him a room for the night. In some way, this was rectified in 1948, when Baskett was given an honorary Academy Award for his performance as Uncle Remus." 
I think this line understates the struggles which many black actors were forced to constantly endure. To say that his being given an Award in any way rectified the discrimination, is almost as if to imply that racism can be washed over by favors. I suggest a rewording or rephrasing. User:Majik43
Not only that, but even his Oscar win isn't really that significant when you consider it was a non-competitive win. It's not like Hattie McDaniel who won the Best Supporting Actress award, legitimately beating out three white nominees. I think the Academy giving Baskett an honorary Oscar was done so that he could not be eligible for a Best Actor nod, heaven forbid a black man may take home the top prize. 24.189.90.68 (talk) 01:48, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Song of the South is controversial because of its portrayal of slave life and racist stereotypes.  Out of respect for the actor, would it be ok to update the main picture so that it shows how he looked in real life?
