Talk:Gallatin, Missouri

message: I would be interested in knowing how to pronounce this name. Is the emphasis on the first syllable (GAL a ton) or the second (gull AT an)? I use existing English words for my phonetic transcriptions, but in the widely recognized International Phonetic Alphabet, it would look like this: 1- [g'ælətən] 2- [gəl'æʔən] where the T has become a glottal stop and is notated using the symbol resembling a question mark.

Talk:Gideon, Missouri

message: I've deleted the July 1, 2013, edit that disclaims any origin of the town's name in a Mandy Patinkin character. The edit was superfluous. If the town wasn't named for the Gideons International, the Biblical judge Gideon, the legal figure Clarence Earl Gideon, the character in "The Book of Mormon," or any other Gideon, it would be superfluous to disclaim that origin as well.

Regarding [Criminal Minds] and the "Mandy Patinkin] character, I fail to understand the relationship between Gideon, Missouri and the television series or its character, other than that the character is named Gideon.

Talk:Hartville, Missouri

message: I'm excited to know that the US Census Bureau is about to release its 2020 US Population Centroid location. 
I believe that this data release will be notable because it will show an historic slowdown in centroid movement, probably the slowest since the 1910-1920 period as an aging population, ongoing economic difficulties, and the impact of the pandemic work to reduce both the means and reason for Americans to move. 
Using a method validated in predicting the location of the 2010 US population center, my estimation for the location of the 2020 centroid is: 37.410844 N; 92.364605 W. 
This position is 12.83 miles/20.65 kilometers southwest of the 2010 centroid. 
This spot is located in Wright County, MO, about 10 miles southwest of Plato, MO and 13.63 miles northeast of Hartville, MO. It remains closer to Plato than Hartville, but I’m thinking that the Bureau may opt to name Hartville the center given its symbolic name. We’ll see soon. 
Judging from past performance, this estimate should be within a mile or two of the official position (that’s the best I can do because I’m working with state-level data). I’ll inform exactly how far off once the Census calculation is released. 
Best,

thread_title:  Jordan occupation and annexation 

message: Hi @Huldra, I'd be happy to know do you keep removing the earlier history of the village from lead. Yes, we do have a dedicated article for Betar, so I agree there is no reason to expand on it in this article. However, Betar is an of course notable part of the village's history, the site of one of the most decisive battles of the Bar Kokhba revolt. I believe that removing the reference to Betar from lead creates a false impression that the village was founded only during the Byzantine period, while it can be traced back to much earlier. How is it possible that Battir has an ancient irrigation system, praised for being 2,000 years old, if it was only established during the Byzantine period? Tombah (talk) 06:42, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Peter H. Raven

message: "He is also an eloquent speaker on the need for biodoversity, and species conservation."
I'll leave it to Mr. Szanton to fix this. Such a statement is POV, and it would be far more appropriate to cite a source, e.g. "John Doe (2001) stated that "Raven's eloquent speech changed my mind about species conservation".
"Dr. Raven is currently writing his memoirs, assisted by Andrew Szanton."
This brings up the issue that additions by Mr. Szanton are "original research", not allowed by Wikipedia, until the memoirs are published. An alternative would be to cite other references for the statements added.--Curtis Clark 15:39, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Rake and trail

message: After discovering these newly created articles
*Trail (bicycles)
*Mechanical trail 
*Rake (angle) 
I tried to cross link them all, but then wondered if they need separate articles at all. They could instead be consolidated into a single comprehensive article. These topics are also covered in the Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics article because many of them did not exist as separate articles when that was written. Whatever happens, Bicycle fork and Motorcycle fork should be updated to reflect the results.
I'm not sure that this Rake and trail is the best location for them all. Maybe something like this would be best:
  Bike Geometry (aritlce title) or Bicycle and motorcycle geometry
   -Head angle (bicycle), Rake (motorcycle), steering axis angle
   -Trail (bicycle and motorcycle)
   -Mechanical trail (bicycle and motorcycle)
Another alternative would be to move all the content into the existing Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics artlcle. It already mention most of these topics.

"Common Ground's mission is to provide short term relief for victims of hurricane disasters in the gulf coast region, and long term support in rebuilding the communities affected in the New Orleans area. Common Ground is a community-initiated volunteer organization offering assistance, mutual aid and support.

Talk:QwaQwa

message: This is not clear:
:In the same year the name was changed to "QwaQwa" to avoid an ethnic identification.
What is an ethnic identification and why would one want to avoid it? If I had to guess I would say the intended meaning, "KwaKwa looks like a word associated with a particular ethic group other than the Bakoena and the Batlokoa". If that is the case, what is the ethnic group in question? I see that on FOTW Franc M.A. Van Diest states "In 1969 the area was combined into a single territory, and called KwaKwa (until it was realised that this spelling would make them part of a West African sub-group), later that year it was changed to Qwaqwa" which narrows the search area somewhat, although it's not clear if Van Diest meant West Africa or western South Africa. There are a few possible candidates at Kwa (disambiguation). 
Or is it simply a misspelling? From what I can glean from the Sotho orthography article, both QwaQwa and KwaKwa are well-formed. jnestorius(talk) 16:28, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
