thread_title: Comments

message: Shortly after Okinawa reverted to Japanese rule, the local government changed the name from Koza to Okinawa City to in an effort to increase Japanese tourists from the mainland.  The name is officially, Okinawa City.  Also, Uchinaa ウチナー　is Okinawan dialect (hogen 方言) and means "Okinawan".  An Uchinanchū ウチナンチュー means an Okinawan native.  Since the official name for the city is Okinawa City, all incidences of Okinawa (in reference to the city, not the island) on this page needs to be changed to Okinawa City.  I'll do it, but I don't want to start a war, so I'll wait for comments first.  --fizzman 07:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article would benefit from additional material on the history of what is now the city. Presently, the material you mentioned is out of proportion to the rest of the history section. Properly edited, though, it may be a valuable component of an expanded section. But detaching it into an independent article, with a brief summary in the present article, could also work. Fg2 (talk) 10:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

If every time an airman gets an article 15, or an officer gets dismissed from the air force, it is going to be put on the bases page?    I think not..    This isn't to demean the plaintiff, who I am sure suffered badly and was awarded the damages, but it's more of an individual item, than a millitary one.

message: Anyone looking at GUAM on Google Earth will see Andresen Airbase "Northfield" runways as well as the (abandoned Boeing B29) USAAF Northwest runways. I think the article deserves a separate paragraph (section) dedicated to the two installations history and abandonment of Northwest. The Northwest Field has a separate Wikipedia entry, but it surely deserves a clear and definite reference and obvious pointer to the related Wiki entry, the current reference here, gets rather lost in the mush.

Talk:Adin Ballou

message: I'm thinking about changing "American prominent proponent of pacifism, ..." to "prominent American proponent of pacifism, ...".  (I may have done it by the time you see this.  I guess I should explain why, and I'm not sure I can, entirely.
* First, in my experience it is more common usage
* Second, it avoids alliteration, which seems to have no value here, or maybe even a negative value--distracting from the words
* Third, (and this should probably be first), the order of the adjectives would seem to have an effect on the meaning of the words--the question I'm asking myself, is he a prominent proponent of pacifism, ... who happens to be American, or is he an American proponent of pacifism, ... who happens to be prominent--and is that prominence worldwide or limited to prominence in America?  I guess based on the words of Tolstoy, it sounds like he (Ballou) is prominent neither in America nor worldwide, nor does it sound like he's prominent in any aspect except as a proponent of pacifism.  
Hmm, so much as I don't care for it personally, I think I talked myself into leaving it as is, at most he is a prominent proponent of pacifism, ... who also is American.

That uncited statement seems highly unlikely. 
To the contrary, the common name for this bird is the "top-notch pigeon", which I presume some prescriptivist has misheard and erroneously confused for a misidentification. 
I'm not sure the best way to cite common names, so how about . (A misidentification implies that, when presented with a specimen, a person could be confused as to which of those two species it belonged to. That's hardly going to be the case here, even more so because the most distinctive and obvious feature of the topnotch is its take off sound which I presume the topknot does not share - in addition to looking completely different, one would sooner confuse it for a crowned pigion or something. It would not be a misidentification for two different animals in two different regions to have names that happen to be the same.) Cesiumfrog (talk) 23:29, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
