Category talk:Ancient languages

message: Government of India declared Tamil as Classical Language and Tamil is a living classical language and considered to be the first language of Mankind. So Tamil is obviously an Ancient Language, so adding Tamil as sub category of Ancient Languages.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Acrajan (talk • contribs).

replies: text: Yes, I have been to the town, and it has more than "a few lights."  Whether occupied or not, the buildings are descriptive of the town.

message: We should change the spelling of his name to Julian Karol Sochocki. He was a Polish mathematician, but when he was born, Poland did not exist as an independent state. There should not be any doubt that the Polish language is an independent one.Kgsteffens 22:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should spell his name in whatever way his name has been most often spelled in English. We should defer to the most common convention, coupled with appropriate redirect links and explanations in the article. Perhaps if he, personally, had expressed a preference while he was alive on the English-alphabet spelling of his name, then we could accept that instead of convention, but I don't think that's the case here.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink/Wines task force/Template grape article

message: My preference would be for the main Infobox image to be a botanical drawing from an ampelography book, as they are designed to show off the distinguishing features of the berries and leaves.  Photos of the grapes are probably less helpful in that regard, but are obviously useful as well - to be spread through the article?  The Viticulture section could be illustrated with a photo of the vine/leaves.  Photos of wine labels are a poor substitute for the above in an article about the grapes.
I was thinking, most of the great ampelography books must be out of copyright by now, and would represent a great source of images for the grape articles. For instance :
 has some images from Victor Rendu's Ampelographie francaise of 1857 - the first two images are general ones of vines,  and following are of different varieties.  It's not that easy to identify some of them, but you could cross-check with the thumbnails on http://www.winelit.slsa.sa.gov.au/grapeswines.htm Another factor in suggesting these are that I just think they are beautiful images that deserve a wider audience.  I think they should be OK for copyright, can anyone confirm?  An Aussie reader might want to talk to the State Library of South Australia - they seem fairly OK about giving permission for use of images in return for an acknowledgement. Does anyone else have access to a library with some of these old books?

thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.
To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.
To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.
Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Okay, that's obviously a run-on sentence, but what does "the first" mean, does it mean he was the first bachelor who was all three of those things, and what does "counting 25 women, after the show" mean, and by now you've probably gotten the joke about run-on sentences, but anyway. – AndyFielding (talk) 00:51, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

"Uranium nitride refers to a family of several ceramic materials: uranium mononitride (UN), uranium sesquinitride (U2N3) and uranium dinitride (UN2). Nitride refers to -3 oxidation state of the nitrogen bound to the uranium. The nitrogen gets its -3 oxidation state from the nature of the triple bond that uranium forms with nitrogen in uranium nitride compounds."

Talk:O-Acetylpsilocin

message: Should this page be renamed to 4-AcO-DMT? I feel pretty confident that the vast majority of people who know of this molecule know of it as 4-AcO-DMT and refer to it as such. Even psilacetin might be better as some people are familiar with that name, I've simply never heard anyone ever refer to this molecule as O-Acetylpsilocin in everyday life. Psilacetin (talk) 04:39, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: People seem to commonly confuse and think 4-AcO-DMT is an acetyl prodrug to DMT because they miss the AcO meaning acetoxy instead of acetyl. In my opinion reverting back to 4-AcO-DMT is akin to if we decided to rename the Psilocin article to 4-OH-N,N-DMT. Gettinglit (talk) 21:48, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I too have seen a number of people assuming that 4-AcO-DMT must be similar to DMT because of the name so you're correct there. But still, the overwhelming majority of people have zero idea what an acetyl group is (much less an outdated term like ortho) so referring to the compound as O-Acetyl-Psilocin doesn't explain anything to 99.9% of people besides making it more clear that this is not DMT. Psilacetin on the other hand is a less imposing, less technical version of the name that still conveys that this isn't DMT, implies a relation to psilocin *and* psilacetin yields more search results. You've convinced me that we should not refer to it as 4-AcO-DMT nor O-Acetyl-Psilocin. Psilacetin (talk) 06:01, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Keith Truscott

message: Many of the accounts of Keith Truscott’s life include historical errors and inconsistencies.  Moreover, a diminutive narrative has been created from selective accounts of Truscott’s life that are often out of context and conflict with other official accounts of Truscott.
These accounts often suggest Truscott's fame was in the main, a product of propaganda, and Truscott was a pilot of questionable ability that contributed to his fatality. 
Wikipedia has captured a good summary of Truscott.  I hope to supplement this summary with information that closer reflects the records of the National Archives and other primary sources.  For example, the Archives include Truscott's Pilot Training Card which identifies numerous aspects of his flying that required more practice and experience.  However, the Card also notes that the outcome of his Training was that he graduated 8th from a Class of 52 and Passed with Distinction.

text: The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal.  Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Almost everyone seems to agree that both "Macao" and "Macau" are acceptable spellings for the location, and that while proper nouns using one specific spelling of Maca[o/u] should be so spelt on Wikipedia as well, this needn't apply to other nouns (such as "list of banks in Maca[o/u]"). Given that there is no intrinsic difference in acceptability between "List of banks in Macao" and "List of banks in Macau", the tie-breaker of consistency may be applied. The vast majority of Macau-related articles on the English Wikipedia use the spelling "Macau" and no argument has been presented why that must not happen here. List of banks in Macao has been moved to list of banks in Macau as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 09:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
