Talk:University of Glasgow

message: I changed entry requirements to entry standards. Entry requirements are the grades you need to get onto the course, entry standards measure what qualifications the students have after having confirmed attendance at the university. Here it's reflective of the fact that a lot of people vastly exceed the requirements of their offer. --Caliburn · (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 16:43, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sleepy Hollow Cemetery

message: It seems there are two cemeteries named "Sleepy Hollow Cemetery" that have a claim to being noteworthy. The one in Sleepy Hollow, New York is currently listed as "Sleepy Hollow Cemetery", while the one in Concord, Massachusetts is at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord. I just modified the Louisa May Alcott article, which had linked to the New York cemetery but not to the one she is buried in. Perhaps "Sleepy Hollow Cemetery" should be a disambiguation page?

thread_title:  Can a clitoris penetrate someone? 

message: Perhaps as the only literature of all, the book "Kampfes Lust" by Werner Sonntag deals with the topics of female martial arts, catfighting, sexfighting etc. in a scientific way. In terms of cultural history, sexual biology and with the help of many different sources, this 662-page volume describes the origins as well as the significance of sexual/tribadic competition among women precisely. So this topic should be a part of this Wikipedia article without any problems.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hans-Rudi der Letzte (talk • contribs) 10:05, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: You seem to be saying this is the only WP:Reliable source on this topic, which is definitely not true.

thread_title:  Tribadism as a way of sexual competition 

message: Tribadism is according to this page "a woman rubs her vulva against her partner's body for sexual stimulation, especially for stimulation of the clitoris." A similar position is possible between a man and woman. What is the sexual practice called where a man lies on his back with his stiff penis on his stomach and a woman rubs her vulva over the penis? This page also says "rubbing the vulva against the partner's thigh, stomach, buttocks, arm, or other body part (excluding the mouth)." So a woman could also rub her vulva against those body parts of a man. This means non-penetrative sex such as tribadism is not exclusively a lesbian sexual practice. -Artanisen (talk) 18:09, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Similar position between Male and Female 

message: This is just the full intended text of my revert summary, as I pressed the button too quickly.
"Male" is more accurate than the narrow "man" given that intercrural sex is commonly believed to be often practiced by teenagers.
While the second part removed by the reverted edit might be more inclusive, I didn't feel like doing a manual partial revert and probably wouldn't object to cutting it (although I would frankly like to see an RfC on the use of gendered language in articles on sex acts, because I am not entirely sure whether the majority of English-language readers worldwide would approve of systematically removing it).

message: This main page has very little information on the Greek Acheron, and a list of references.
The disambiguation page has no information on the Greek Acheron (of course!) and a list of references.
Shouldn't there be a difference? Perhaps the 'other meanings' should be merged into the disambiguation page until more information is entered. I know alternate uses are common but usually they're limited to articles with more content.

replies: text: If this were notable, User:DannyCaes imo it would be best linked at the Acheron (disambiguation) page, rather than here. And of course, like everything on Wikipedia it would need to be noted, supported and described by reliable sources. It's included in Wikipedia's List of stellar streams and has two decent specialist references but is redlinked (no article as yet); so yes, it's notable. Unfortunately, although the link to the mythical stream is obvious, neither of the sources given confirms the name's mythological connection outright, therefore we can't do so either.

Talk:Styx (mythology)

message: "In the sticks" is slang for a rural location in American English and now (it seems) in British English as well.  To my knowledge, it does not refer to the river Styx, but perhaps to the fact that rural locations are generally forested.  Therefore, I have removed the piece about the use of this phrase in British English.  If you can cite a reliable source for Styx as the origin of this phrase, feel free to reinclude with the citation.  AliaGemma 02:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no Charon, there is no Acheron, there is no Styx. They are fictional. Accordingly, different authors have created different fictional geographies of Hell, and there's thus no single "correct" answer. Vergil has Charon ferry souls across the river Styx in book VI of the Aeneid; Dante has Charon ferry souls across the river Acheron in canto III of the Inferno. Other authors make their own choices; generally Styx in the period before Dante wrote, and Acheron afterwards, but no hard-and-fast rule. - Nunh-huh 20:40, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

message: There are also many Hokkien words which have been borrowed into Malay, sometimes with slightly different meanings... This does not sound like should be at Penang Hokkien page, but at Malaysian Malay page instead. It is because it did not talk about Penang Hokkien, and it also just talk about "Hokkien" in general. Should it be removed?
Caferatte89 (talk) 10:30, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would make sense to mention it on this page (but some details might be moved to the Malaysian Malay page, as you suggest).  The fact that Hokkien words have entered other languages tells the reader something about the social and cultural status of Penang Hokkien.  There is also precedent for this on other articles, e.g. English_language#English_loanwords_and_calques_in_other_languages.  Regarding the issue of whether these loanwords come from Penang Hokkien or Southern Peninsular Malaysian Hokkien, I would guess that some loans might be clear based on pronunciation (e.g. Ji̍t-pún vs. Li̍t-pún) or cultural importance (e.g. kongsi).

Beware: over 90% of edits to article "Mount Apo" are vandalism+reverts, as typical of many other unprotected articles about a "big" topic. The altitude has been hacked (from 2954 m), numerous times, to erroneously state: 3142, 3145, 3224 m, etc.
