Talk:Libya

message: Please change
Today, the great majority of Libya's inhabitants are Arab,[22] with many tracing their ancestry to Bedouin Arab tribes like Banu Sulaym and Banu Hilal, beside Turkish and Berber minorities. The Turkish minority are often called "Kouloughlis" and are concentrated in and around villages and towns.[257] Additionally, there are some Libyan ethnic minorities, such as the Berber Tuareg and the Black African Tebou.[258]
Most Italian settlers, at their height numbering over half a million, left after Italian Libya's independence in 1947. More repatriated in 1970 after the accession of Muammar Gaddafi, but a few hundred of them returned in the 2000s.[259]

thread_title:  Changes in style 

message: This point has come back up for debate, with some newer academic work cited.  And it's not a simple thing to assess, with the lack of hard data.  It's also important that there was probably a gap between primacy as spoken languages, and primacy in literature, with English taking over the latter first, due to biases in adoption patterns.  As far as I recall my studies, the usage situation, crudely put, was that by 1800, we had reached:  Mostly or exclusively speaking (and writing where relevant) in Irish - 40% (>2 million), bilingual - 30% (>1.5 million), mostly or exclusively English - 30% (>1.5 million)... but by the census of 1851, this had shifted to just 1.5 million using Irish to any significant degree, and by 1901, just 0.6 million.  What this article could use is a solidly-based academic input on the points in this area relevant to the topic, and projection back before 1800... SeoR (talk) 23:42, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I have to assume that as someone who taught Anglo-saxon studies and who's writing had such obvious parallels to the theory he probably would have made direct reference to it at some point but I couldn't find any direct references in my searching :( so I kept the language vague on purpose and only referenced people discussing Tolkien and theory tangentially.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Archive 10

message: Hmm. How about Wikipedia:Deletion decisions? Snappy, alliterative, no-nonsense definitively put. (I can see a jokey line though, but I'll spare you, lest you be prejudiced unduly.) -- Cimon Avaro on a pogostick 07:56, Nov 24, 2003 (UTC)
----
I believe you have identified the crux of the issue, Angela, when you say that this is a discussion about pages to be discussed pending possible deletion. A quick acronymity brings us to P2BDPPD, which is not only short 'n' snappy, but trendy too, and even if it does bear some resemblance to a Bronx cheer, that may remind us all not to take this too seriously.
Okay, I'll be good now. I see a couple of ways of dealing with this. One is to recognise that what Wiki is really doing  here is putting an article on trial, with sysops acting as jury. The rest of us know we will be allowed our two cents worth, euro or othewise, for either the prosecution or the defense, but we also know we know we have no vote. And while people might not be willing to get up from in front of their computers to visit "Proposed Suggestions for Possible Deletion, Maybe," they'd be in like a dirty shirt for "Pages on Trial." (And PoT might be a secret draw for some...)
Alternatively, Wiki already has a polling mechanism in place, and no one seriously expects their input to be anything more than, well, input. As the page header says, "Polls are not the same as voting, so the results are not necessarily binding (this is especially true when the result is not a supermajority - at least 75%). However polls are often useful in the process of consensus finding when regular discussion is no longer able to make clear what the opinions of users are." Therefore, the sysops may still conduct their business without feeling "voting pressure." 
Hope this helps.  Denni 04:44, 2004 Feb 17 (UTC)
:Thank you for your comments Denni. The new system described at Wikipedia:Deletion requests which will be trialled soon will hopefully solve some of these problems as it separates the comments from the votes. Angela. 12:42, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)

I know this discussion is several months stale, but I didn't see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion as one of the title suggestions. It would maintain the "for deletion" standard (WP:CFD, WP:IFD, WP:RFD), and it wouldn't mention the word "vote" in the title, either. • Benc • 09:01, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Lateral thought

message: If I'd been doing it from scratch I'd probably have used the term lateral thinking as the article name, and made this the redirect if that. Edward De Bono coined the term lateral thinking and popularised it in his 1985 book Lateral Thinking. I think lateral thought is a derivative term, and it's a poor one, as it's not clear whether or not it's a count noun. However, there is an advantage in doing it this way, as it might be confusing to have two different articles named Lateral thinking and Lateral Thinking, so I'm going to leave it as is. If this were renamed, probably I'd go to Lateral Thinking (book) for the book. Andrewa 23:44, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Talk:Joe Pass

message: There is an omission in the discography, albeit one which Pass was not
proud of : "The Stones Jazz", containing covers of Rolling Stones songs, issued in 1966.
The section with Oscar Peterson needs revising:
there are too many sessions lead by O. Peterson in which J. Pass plays, see http://www.jazzdisco.org/peterson/dis/c/
Corrected:
The link 'The Trio (with Niels Pedersen)' was misleading as it sends to an Oscar Peterson album called  The trio (Verve Records 1961, live at the London House) on which Joe Pass does not play. Joe Pass and NHO Pedersen appear on the album The Trio (Pablo Records 1974, live at the London House).
The link 'If You Could See Me Now (with Niels Pedersen, Martin Drew)' was to  a book by some irish writer.

It's a denomination of a currency, and if we were going for consistency, we'd have Chinese renminbi (not that there's any other renminbi).
