Talk:List of butterflies of the Western Ghats

message: There was a note on the article creator's talk page suggesting that this was a copyvio. This would however not be a copyright violation since this is a list of species of a specific region. The source is being cited and it is information being used not any creativity. The order unfortunately is something decide by classification and not a matter of creativity.

message: I have finished creating the Stubs for the species in Western Ghats List. What more needs to be done here to compleat the article ? Vijay Barve 11:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: On the list itself, perhaps it would help to indicate all endemics and those with restricted ranges (Nilgiris only, restricted by the Goa/Palghat gap). The stub articles themselves would of course need to progress with images, descriptions, host plants and distribution maps apart from behavioural and ecological notes and references. The list should also be adorned with representative thumbnail illustrations along the side to go along with the groups. So when someone with a butterfly in mind runs through the page, they should be approximately be able to place their species. Shyamal 13:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't find the mention of them being Confederate as telling as the number of times they are said to be Democrats and to be fighting Republicans given the fact that the two parties have flip-flopped and exchanged political positions such that the South in now Republican. It is a conservative, southern legacy more than the Democratic Party's. While technically their party affiliation at the time was Democratic, belaboring it the way the author does makes them sound like they were a legitimate, acknowledged branch of the party and they weren't. Further, they didn't split hairs on who they killed, if a person could be seen as "black-friendly", even if they were otherwise the type of Democrat of that time, they wouldn't give them a pass just for party membership. It is important to the present day right in the US to pretend that it is the Democratic Party that is the party of racism when in fact it neither party can be blamed, it is merely the conservative element that holds the pro-racism distinction.98.219.126.182 (talk) 16:11, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I am in two (at least) minds about the encyclopedic way of referring to the "bohemian". That he is a gypsy is an inferred thing that I've probably assumed since childhood. The book has the Mayor call him a "vagabond", a villager calls him a "poor man", and I don't think there's any evidence other than his wagon (and possibly attire) that would give reason to peg him a Roma. There could be something to the bohemian wikilink since it uses the wider sense of the word, and the article explains some of the misconception, but don't think it posing as a link to Roma People is the right choice.  -MURGH disc. 17:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Can you be a little more specific about what you're looking for?  You want evidence that the term "Godhead" is used in Jewish publications?  Or you want a fuller discussion of the concept of Ein Sof?  —Dfass 22:28, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. I want evidence that this is a general term used in Jewish publications, whether as a translation of Ein Sof or otherwise, and that a neologism isn't being created due to e.g. a quirky translation of a Hebrew term. In cases where a Hebrew term has no agreed-on translation, it may be best simply to use the Hebrew term. For example, in Kavod HaBriyot, part of what is under dispute is whether the term connotes "honor" (with its somewhat traditional connotations of respect for others) or "dignity" (with its somewhat liberal connotations of individual autonomy), so the article simply uses the Hebrew term and discusses ways it is translated. I don't know much about this subject, just want to make sure that the term is sourced and not a potential neologism as used in a Jewish context. Best, --Shirahadasha 08:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I did not invent the term, and I don't even like it.  However, it has been in use in Jewish theological writings for quite a while.
