thread_title: Semi-protect?

message: OK, I have changed "Pula, Croatia". While that is the only logical thing to put in the article (we are simply seeking to point out where Pula is for the benefit of those readers who do not know), it is clearly unsatisfactory for one or two IP fanatics who would seek to do everything to promote their glorious imperial past. However, sadly for them, it is not only unnecessary, but also incorrect, to say that Pula was then in Italy. Therefore, the first sentence now correctly (if in a rather cumbersome fashion) reflects the state of affairs at the time. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 12:24, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Another silly dispute 

message: The title has a poor information content. An explosion does not necessarily imply victims. Explosions occour everyday in mining activity, old buildings are destroyed through explosions and so on. The title focuses more on the blasting of bombs than on human victims. It sounds sadly reductionist. Are you sure you making a good job for truth?

thread_title:  Closure of Mapsco? 

message: Mapsco's business is close to failure and bankruptcy/closure is a real possibility.  At present Mapsco is in default of almost all it's creditors as the company has failed to pay vendors and numerous other businesses outstanding balances for the last several months.  An approximate 40% workforce reduction and retail store closure(s) can't get the company in the black.  In leiu of finding a company to purchase them out, which executives are working on, Mapsco's viability is unlikely.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by GIS Star (talk • contribs) 03:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: You can check the article's move log via the page history. I felt the full title was unnecessarily overprecise (see WP:PRECISION), since the article should discuss not only the site itself but also the bronze age culture which uses the same name. However, if consensus is that this is disagreed, please revert the move. For now, there's no need to change the infobox, since it refers specifically to the World Heritage Site. If an article about the modern subdistrict does come up we can always rename the article again for the sake of disambiguation. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:39, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not really all that interested in the modern subdistrict as I am in those who re-settled there. I was in-country in the mid-70's, in the wake of dissension over claims its bronze artifacts predated the Bronze Age. Reports I read then, best as I can recall, was that today's villagers are descended from a group from about 1820 or so, when there was a lot of both forced and voluntary migrations from Laos to re-populate Isan. The group was reported to have been led by two brothers who were former monks, with "Chiang" being a reference to that status. I cannot now, however, confirm that 'chiang' has ever been a Lao reference to ex-monks. Puzzlement was then being expressed on two other regards: why the obviously livable site had apparently been abandoned since about 300 AD and furthermore, to what larger culture had the prehistoric village belonged. The assumption of a larger culture arose from comments that no work by apprentices had been found, only work by journeymen who must have learned their craft somewhere else before returning home. As regards to that, I just added /* See also */ Dong Son culture & Luoyue people.  --Pawyilee (talk) 05:05, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Hepburn romanization/Archive 1

message: I removed the following:
: There is also a fundamental problem in the use of ō-- when seeing a new word without a pronounciation it can be impossible to tell whether the Japanese would use the hiragana/katakana oo or ou.
# This is not unique to Hepburn, both Kunrei and Nihonshiki do the same thing (just with a circumflex).
# The pronunciation of the two cases is identical.  Only the kana spelling isn't, and this is pretty much irrelevant if the original is kanji (which is usually the case).
I'd suggest moving this to Romaji if you can explain why this is such a "fundamental" problem. Jpatokal 17:06, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Fundamental problem?

message: "Syllabic n (ん) is written as n before consonants, but as n' (with an apostrophe) before vowels and y."
Wouldn't it also be n' before another n?  Otherwise konnichi might be accidentally interpreted as a doubled consonant (こっにち), rather than a syllabic n (こんにち). (originally unsigned by 210.50.55.25 on 01:02, 14 September 2005)
:The small tsu never directly precedes an "n" consonant in Japanese, so "konnichi" can be unambiguously interpreted as こんにち and not こっにち. Hence disambiguation with an apostrophe would be unnecessary. —Tokek 01:52, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Syllabic n 

message: A phonetics book on Japanese that I have read interpreted some words as having a phoneme  repetition (e.g. /uu/) instead of a single long vowel phoneme (e.g. /ū/), if the two vowels in question come from different morphemes or different kanjis. For examples, 箕面 Minoo (箕, mino + 面, o),  黄色 kiiro (黄, ki + 色, iro), 須佐之男 Susanoo (之, no + 男, o), and 暴風雨 bōfūu (風, fū + 雨 u). I wonder if any of the hepburns or any other romaji makes this distinction? —Tokek 02:36, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Alsace-Lorraine Independent Brigade (France)

message: Someone familiar with modern French culture could write a section titled "The Alsace-Lorraine Brigade in popular culture" as the brigade has become something of an icon representing the partnership of the French people and France's army during the fighting in 1944-45 that finally expelled the German military from France.  Having a commander as famous as Malraux certainly has helped the brigade be retained in popular memory.

Talk:Privy Council of Thailand

message: Please expand upon the Council's origins and history, its role, responsibilities, and powers. Listing the current Privy Council without discussing its history is like describing Rama IX under King of Thailand with no mention of his predecessors. LordAmeth 12:41, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Expansion

message: "The King during his 15 years on the throne would continue to appoint new members around Thai New Year (or 4 April)."
''
As the Thai New Year is not celebrated on 4 April (but 13-15 April), I guess this sentence was actually meant to say: 
"The King during his 15 years on the throne would continue to appoint new members on 4 April of each year, shortly before Thai New Year."? Either that, or he indeed appointed them on New Year - but then the date is wrong. (Maybe a typo, 4 instead of 14?)
As it stands now, the sentence wrongly suggests that Thai New Year is on 4 April.

Talk:Bangkok Metropolitan Region

message: I don't think the original author has enough proficiency in English to clarify many points he raised. I am deeply troubled by the use of "illegal foreigners" and only a third is of ethnicity other than Thai. Thailand maintains a system of residency registration however it is not illegal for Thai nationals and resident aliens to continue to live in any parts of Thailand including Bangkok without notifying authority for their change of address. It is constitutionally guaranteed that Thai national can live or travel wherever they please. So "illegal foreign" is insensitive and potentially slanderous. There are Indians of all religious persuasions living in Thailand not just Sikhs. There are Catholics, Protestants and members of other community living in Thailand.  How do I know this? I was one of those unregistered resident whom the author deemed illegal and I went to English speaking church where there are ethnic Indians of many nationalities including Thai attending and my neighbors in Bangkok are Hindu.

Talk:Harry Landers

message: I've seen many places give the month of his birth as "April" instead of "September" though day -- 3rd -- and year -- 1921 -- match up.
If his birthdate is written as numbers -- 4-3-1921 vs 9-3-1921 -- I can see where it's possible that a misread could happen.  But not if written as words.  I don't see how either "September" nor "Sept." could be misread as either "April" or "Apr."
But since "April" is out there, I think that his birthdate should be verified with multiple references/sources/citations as long as those references/sources/citations don't all go back to ONE source.

Anti-personnel mines target everyone, children, adults, livestock, soldiers, civilians.  They are bad because they are indiscriminate.

I have never heard of any link between the two.  The only connection is that both may be used by people with no regard for human life, but that is pretty tenuous.  Anti-personnel mines have been used in many wars, entirely independent of the presence or absence of child soldiers.
