message: Is anyone aware of discussion within the semantic wiki community on adding markup to wikipedia and then writing external software that uses wikipedia's data to do the same, rather than just recreating the wiki?
Gokmop 18:31, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You seem to be asking three different questions at once?  I believe adding markup to Wikipedia pages won't gain support until Wikipedia itself understands the markup.  It would be nice if Wikipedia ran an extension like Semantic MediaWiki; meanwhile, standardization, categorization, consistency, and most importantly use of templates and infoboxes all help humans and machines to discern semantics in Wikipedia articles.  DBpedia.org is nifty external software that extracts structured information from Wikipedia pages.  -- Skierpage 07:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the DBPedia link - that's not far off of what I was looking for.  I wasn't suggesting adding this markup to wikipedia itself, since the computability of this stuff is pretty far outside the scope of what wikipedia is supposed to do.  I was thinking more of using the information that wikipedia already provides, and then adding on top of it in a separate dataset, which after a cursory glance, it looks like DBPedia may be doing.  What seems silly to me is creating a new semantic wiki with a new page for something like "Akron, Ohio" that doesn't start with everything Wikipedia already has on the subject. Gokmop 20:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Please contribute here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/infobox_template_coherence, we are trying to create markup in the form of template annotations. There is a direct benefit for Wikipedia right now with just minimal changes. Later as Wikipedia users understand the advantages of having more structure, Semantic Media Wiki could be picking up the trend. SebastianHellmann (talk) 15:02, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

message: in principle im ok with "Track One" leading to the "Track II diplomacy" article, in cases like this here it can be quite misleading tho. it doesnt link to a section but to the article itself, and a difference like between "I" and "II" is so subtle that it is easily missed while skimming (which should be the standard type of consumption here). confusion may be cleared up immediately, though sometimes only later on the original page.

message: Discussion of a proposed consolidated Weapons of power in Hindu epics article is at Talk:Kurukshetra War#New article proposed - "Weapons of power in Hindu epics". --Bejnar (talk) 14:46, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  New article proposed - "Weapons of power in Hindu epics" 

message: The article originally said about this weapon "The Pashupatastra .... in Hindu mythology...". I had changed this to "Hindu history...". This is because Europeans called any Asian technology or history as mythology if they could not understand it or explain it.
User @Ratan375 first reverted it without explanation. I reverted the revert. He then reverted it again, this time with an explanation "There's no historical evidence of the weapon. This weapon have connection with Lord Shiva. Gods are itself a myth".
My point is that there is plenty of documentation regarding the weapon. Have we found a weapon buried? No. But, the same applies to a lot of things. If you read the article for The Bible, it says it is an account of historical events. Is there any evidence of those events? No!
Others may discuss.

And the source cited by you in this edit is no different. Here is the relevant quotation from the page cited by you:
:
It is giving examples of multiple fixed class regiments and multiple combinations without any specific order. Still, Rajputana Rifles appears at the second spot among the regiments and "Jats and Rajputs" appears at the corresponding spot in the combination examples, which is correct. Ahirs appear only once in the list and that too with Kumaonis – a combination applied at Kumaon Regiment, which is also a fixed class regiment, and is listed in the above source as "Kumaonis".
So please stop adding Ahir here unless you can provide a source which states that Rajputana Rifles is a fixed class regiment of Ahirs and Rajputs, or Ahir and Jats. And I am sure you won't find any reliable source for such misinformation. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:23, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dogs/Top-importance articles

message: The above scale serves as the working guidelines for how to rate the relative importance of the dog articles.  Because importance is in relation to something, including other articles, I suggest this discussion cover all ratings levels to create a meaningful context.
The basic descriptions simply state importance should be rated in terms of "encyclopedic value." Some specific examples are then given.  Another "built-in" representation of importance in Wikipedia is the category classification system hierarchy – the higher up in the tree, the more important the category.  It then follows that "main articles" for the top-level category and main  sub-categories are prime contenders for the top importance rating. For reference, here's the category tree.
Dogs
In relation to the question posed specifically about dog breeds, the Kennel clubs around the world are the recognized authorities about which breeds are most "important." (Keep in mind I'm a hard-core mutt lover as well! ;-) From this perspective, I suggest that all of the "dog group" articles based on the various clubs' breed lists be rated as "top" importance. Individual breed articles from these groups might then be rated as "high" importance.  Here's a complete list of of groups for the American Kennel Club. I don't know if anything is missing for the other clubs around the world.
As this discussion unfolds, I would suggest "types" of articles be added to the above table for each rating to provide further guidance on how to rate individual articles. Rfrisbietalk 16:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyvio

message: Well, yes, this discussion is all about the subject of NCDCC closing down certain CCA(s). As this is a touchy subject, it is very much a personal viewpoint of the individual. Certain persons have assumed that NCDCC forced certain CCAs to close down. However, having work in a position to see the truth (my sec sch cca was not NCDCC, even then there wasn't NCDCC), I know that NCDCC don't encourage schools to close down any CCA. It is totally up to the school management to decide. By this I mean that, should the school concern decide to close down a certain CCA, then they have their reasons. NCDCC cannot be blamed because of the school's decision. Many factors influence the closing down. Setting up of NCDCC may (and probably is) one of the many reasons certain schools close down certain CCAs. However, there are many other reasons, which only the school management knows. Perhaps irate members of the cca which is closed down can check with their school for the reason, as such members would most likely only know that NCDCC is being set up. They should find out more rather than just blaming NCDCC. ZhongXiong 05:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kusu Island

message: Dear readers, I just want to share with you my experience in Kusu Island back in 1994 and I was only  10year old. My father and his friend's out of the blue just brought me to Kusu island for a prayer, at that time I was very young and I can't recall the month but definitely not the 9th month of the Chinese Lunar Month. While my dad and his friend were busy burning the incense paper at the furnace located at the side walk of the temple, I was looking around at the beautiful surrounding, suddenly I was awed and I can't believe what I had saw; it was a Giant turtle as big as the lagoon itself floating gracefully in the lagoon. I was so excited and shouted to my dad and he saw it too, as soon as my dad called for his friend the Giant Turtle vanished back into the bottom of the lagoon.  Honestly I don't think anybody will believe me, as it is impossible for such a Giant Turtle to swim into the lagoon which is surrounded by the 4 sided bridges and with all the columns piled deep into the bottom of the lagoon.  
The Giant Turtle was as big as 2 combined Basket Ball courts and it was just too beautiful and majestic for me to describe to anyone. I had ever told a few friends but all of them thought I was pulling their legs or even making up stories.
My conclusion is; the Giant Turtle do exist to day but just that it is a holy Turtle Spirit, therefore believe it or not, you may want to try your luck one of these days to visit the lagoon of Kusu Island  which is directly beside the Chinese Temple.  FYIP you may still see big sea turtles in the Lagoon but don't  mistaken it as the Giant turtle... Cheers everybody...
