Talk:Uralic peoples

message: There is no such thing as "Uralic peoples" apart from a linguistic construct, so I'm merging. kwami (talk) 23:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Merged again. This was just a description of languages masquerading as an article on people. For example, it made the claim that the Sayan Samoyed people are extinct, when what it should have actually said is that their language is extinct. You did expand with the Urheimat, but that is a linguistic construct, and belongs in the linguistic article. When that section becomes suitably developed, it can be split off as Proto-Uralic. (Oh look, there it is! When that article is suitably developed, it can be split off into Proto-Uralic people.) Meanwhile, this article is meaningless. It certainly is not an "ethnic group", as the tag I just removed would imply. Finno-Ugric peoples I'm willing to accept, with suitable cautions, because the article covers non-linguistic Finno-Ugric societies which have been around for some time, and therefore has some life besides that of a linguistic construct. kwami (talk) 21:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, please take the article into an AfD in case you wish to get rid of it. WP is based on WP:verify and WP:RS, not on what a single editor is willing to accept. And Uralic peoples is a valid subject in historical context, exactly like Proto-Indo-Europeans. Why don't you go and redirect the Indo-Europeans article into Indo-European languages first. WP:DEMOLISH is what you are doing here, and the article should be restored.--Termer (talk) 02:19, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Aitken (sculptor)

message: Since the requisite statement wasn't made, I'll put my 2 cents here. I'd say this article should be merged with Robert Ingersoll Aitken, not the other way around. Parenthetical disambiguations should only be used when absolutely necessary. Since his full name is a very common usage (much more common than first name, last name, and "sculptor" in parenthesis) it is the proper title for the article. Sorry that whoever wrote this article went to all that trouble when there was already an article under his full name, but that doesn't change the naming convention.

Talk:Ivan Sirko

message: The final sentence of the section named "Origin" has the following statement:
"Mytsyik also recalls the letter of the Field Hetman of the Crown John III Sobieski (later, the king of Poland) where he referred to Sirko as a very quite, noble, polite, and has a great trust among Cossacks."
This doesn't have a citation so I'm not sure how to verify this but quite should almost certainly be quiet. I'm not sure whether the comma is misplaced as in a very quiet noble or the article should be removed very quiet, noble, polite and... - that is, is noble an adjective or a noun.
Perhaps a Russian speaker could check the reference for that section:  Otaman Ivan Sirko by Yuriy Mytsyik and see if this is referenced there? AkaSylvia (talk) 15:48, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

message: i have removed the second paragraph which claimed that "Jansen is dedicated to creating artificial life through the use of genetic algorithms", that his designs "emerge" from a computer-simulated beach environment, and so on. the information was unsourced, largely false, and gave a highly misleading impression of the artist and his work. jansen did use a simple genetic algorithm running on an atari computer in the early stages of developing the leg mechanism, but he abandoned that more than fifteen years ago. the wired magazine article states: "While Jansen initially used a computer program to figure out the most effective design to get the feet walking, all of his subsequent creations have been entirely free-form, constructed solely through trial and error." i can also back that up, since i have visited jansen in his studio, and i know that he no longer uses genetic algorithms or computer modelling to create his designs, and has not done so for many years.

message: The article is flagged at the top of its page:
:"This article does not cite any references or sources."
That's not quite true. The article is copied almost verbatim from a Loyola Marymount University article, which is duly cited at the bottom of the page. However, that article doesn't cite any sources, so we are left to rely on an article at another site of unknown reliability. And then there's the copyright issue. Isn't the LMU article copyrighted?

Talk:Jacobus Sinapius

message: The original sources have Jakub born near "Krumlov" and studying at the "Krumlov Seminary".  Many sources in netland, especially those connected with the Voynich Manuscript, assume that this is Cesky Crumlov in southern Bohemia.  However there is another "Krumlov" further east in Moravia (Moravsky Krumlov).  The Clementinum school records, cited by Rene Zandbergen, have him born at Bořenovice in Moravia. Moreover the Tepenec Castle (destroyed in 1391) is in the Olomouc region, also in Moravia (see the List of castles in the Olomouc Region). So, is it possible that some or all of the references to "Krumlov" are actually the Moravian one, rather than the Czech one? --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 01:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Figurehead for the frigate
USS UNITED STATES
 carved by William Rush
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
     The figurehead for the USS UNITED STATES was described in William Bell Clark's "The Gallant John Barry". According to "a spectator", She is crest with a Constellation, her hair and drapery flowing, Suspended to the ringlets of hair, which fall or wave over her Breast and reclining in her bosom, is the portrait of her favorite son, GEORGE WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES; her waist bound with a Civic Band. In her Right hand, which is advanced, she holds a spear, suspended to which is a Belt of Wampum, containing the Emblems of Peace and War. On her left side is a Tablet, which supports three large volumes which relates to the three Branches of Government; the Scale, emblematic of Justice, blended with them. The Left hand suspends the Constitution over the Books, &c. on the Tablet, the EAGLE with his wings half extended, with the Escutcheons, &c. of the ARMS of the UNITED STATES, on the Right, designates the figure. The attributes COMMERCE and AGRICULTURE, and a modest position of the ARTS and SCIENCES."
---------------------------------------------------------
[NOTE by Edward C. Zimmerman, Jr., 20March2014]
     To the date of 2013, this discussion about the figurehead there are no known sketched or drawings as to what this looked like. There are several renditions by artists of the frigate showing the existence of the figurehead at a distance but none show very many significant features with clarity.
     Preceding the description of the figurehead in Clark's work on Barry, it was described as a majestic and great female figure in awe of the viewers below her while the figurehead towered them a good 40 feet above.
