Talk:Black pepper

message: According to this paper from 2020 – https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23311932.2021.1915558 – chili pepper is the most commonly produced spice in Ethiopia, and «accounts for over 80% of total spice produced in the country». I think someone must have been mixing black pepper with chili pepper.
:Chilis being 80% of Ethiopia's spice output does nothing to affect the fact (cited to the FAO, a worldwide UN agency) that Ethiopia is the world's largest producer of black pepper. Those figures are not talking about the same thing at all. oknazevad (talk) 14:20, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Donald Foster

message: There needs to be a disambiguation page for Don Foster, but I don't know how to do it.  
Most of the links refer to the British MP, but the link from William Shakespeare refers to a different person, an American writer and linguistic sleuth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JackofOz (talk • contribs) 01:37, 5 Mar 2004
: That particular problem has now been fixed, but we probably ought to move both Don Foster and Donald Foster to different names, and put a disambig page at those names. Noel (talk) 07:38, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: They both redirect here now, and I've added an actor of the same name. Since both the politician and the professor are often known as Don, there's no reason to prefer one or the other at any form of the name, and professional disambiguation is more useful. --Michael Snow 23:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Shimosa or Shimousa? Both can be in Japanese "lazy" pronunciation. Which will we use? --Nanshu 02:57, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Shimo-tsu-fusa -> Shimo-fusa -> Shimousa
The problem is that the loss of the f was happened at the middle of a word in Japanese (eg. kefu -> keu -> kyou). This means that people considered shimofusa as a single word instead of a compound. Otherwide the f must be preserved. But I changed my mind because some googling suggests that some still call 下総 Shimofusa.
Japanese romanization is more complicated than I expected. The Hepburn romanization system distinguishes what is not dinstinguished in Japanese. Sometime it needs etymological analysis. --Nanshu 02:53, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: When adding info to this article, be careful with the taxonomy. For example, I've just removed a photo of a Sykes' Monkey, the currently featured map includes the range of several relatives, and this species, contrary to what the previous version said, is not restricted to rainforest and montane bamboo forests. In fact, they can be found in a wide range of forest, even fairly dry, as long as it is evergreen (notice for example that the currently featured photo, linked above, is from Lake Manyara - you'd be hard pressed to find any rainforest or monetane bamboo forest there). 212.10.79.62 (talk) 02:09, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Chipping Barnet

message: § 1 in the History section states: 
The town's name derives from an ancient settlement, recorded as Barneto c. 1070, Barnet 1197, La Barnette 1248, that is 'the land cleared by burning', from Old English bærnet, referring to the clearing of this once densely forested area in early times.
§ 5 in the same section states:
The name of the town appears in early deeds as 'Bergnet' – the Saxon word 'Bergnet'[4] meant a little hill (monticulus). Barnet's elevated position is also indicated in one of its alternative names ('High Barnet')
So which is it? A burnt clearing, or a little hill? Redpaul1 (talk) 09:33, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've deleted the fanciful 18th-century derivation from 'Bergnet' and cited the Oxford Dictionary of London Place-Names for 'land cleared by burning' - but had to rewrite the sentence since someone had copied it direct from the Oxford Dictionary without citing the source, which was plagiarism according to Wikipedia policy!

Talk:Digital image

message: This article has languished for a while. I've removed a lengthy account of the history of television as it was at best incidental and largely irrelevant to the article subject, being concerned with analog image processing. I've sourced instead an outline history, ignoring much earlier image processing (which was pretty much based around codifying, rather than digitizing, although if anyone feels different it could be mentioned I guess) and starting instead with the advent of advanced digital computers. I'll leave the re-inclusion of video game technology to anyone who can provide a source but I'd suggest mention of it was kept in proportion relative to imaging as a whole. The rest of the article is in serious need of a clean up, especially of the "vector" and "viewing" sections. I've tagged it accordingly. --mikaultalk 01:41, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Updated information 

message: Puzzled by the distinction between "royal patronage" and "royal charter". This List of UK organisations with royal patronage seems to be just a list of organisations whose names begin "Royal...". There is also an entry under Royal Charter, which does not link to this list of "Royal" organisations, and a short list of organisations at List of British professional bodies, which also has no link to the longer list. The two lists differ in a few instances (e.g. name of Royal College of Physicians - of London?), and each contains entries which are not included in the other.  Time for some cross-references! And for some rewriting by someone who knows more about this topic than me!  -- Hugh2414 12:23, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a list of organisations with "Royal" in the name is useful.

thread_title:  Royal patronage and Royal charter 

message: If the decision has been taken not to merge or delete List of UK organisations with royal patronage and List of Royal Societies, and not to create List of bodies with Royal Charter or consider a Category, then there are thousands of organisations with Royal Patronage - the Queen has 800 alone - see 4th question. Many of these don't have Royal in the title - eg the R&D Society and the Darwin Foundation have Prince Philip as Patron. Similarily, Royal Charter does not guarantee that there will be the word Royal in the name - eg the Institute of Physics got a Royal Charter in 1970. I'd recommend deleting this page, and creating categories for Organisations with Royal Charter and possibly, Commonwealth organisations with Royal patronage. Scottkeir 10:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:News values

message: I think the word "value" is the most helpful term. Each news value that is present within a news story adds value to its newsworthiness. The more news values, the more likely a news story will be published.  So, in this respect we are using the word "value" in much the same way as an economist would.  However, the term "news values" is also used in an ethical sense to justify good practice such as accuracy and truthfulness in a story.  Some publishers and broadcasters, e.g. the BBC and AP have issued such guidelines under the title "news values".Owen Spencer-Thomas News Values. Accessed September 18, 2018. The lesser used alternative "news criteria" is less confusing, but in the end, I believe common usage wins the argument.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yawja (talk • contribs) 08:53, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

text: Agree "news values" is the predominant term, since it was coined by Galtung and Ruge, whose article is among the most widely cited in this area.  But it's worth pointing out that there's a bit of ambiguity surrounding the term.  Herbert Gans, a prominent sociologist who studies news, used the term "news values" in a different way, to refer to values held by journalists (or their sources) that influence how they report a story.  Contrast this with Galtung and Ruge's version, which concerns aspects of an event that make it more or less newsworthy.  Gans does make a list of Galtung-and-Ruge-style news values (see my comment downthread), but doesn't call them "news values."  In point of fact, he doesn't give a neat title to his own list, so he doesn't really offer a substitute term.  Charlotte Ryan, and a few others, use the term "news criteria" interchangeably with "news values," both of which, for them, have identical meaning. Wideaperture (talk) 14:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
