thread_title: Mt. Everest naming

message: According to our article Mount Everest, the name Sagarmatha "was invented in the early 1960s".  If this is true, it's wrong to say here in the Radhanath Sikdar article that "it already had native names in Nepal".  But if that statement is false, it should be removed from the Mount Everest article. —Steve Summit (talk) 18:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright concerns

message: Prior to 1871, Germany was an amalgamation of relatively independent states and Bavaria was a kingdom, so there was neither a German Philosophical Society nor a Bavaria branch of any learned society. A Deutsche Philosophische Gesellschaft (German Philosophical Society) existed only between 1917 and 1945. I checked the lists of members of the major German learned societies (Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Königlich-Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen, and Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften) and could not find any entry for Radhanath Sikdar, neither for his first nor for his second name. I hesitate to eliminate the phrase about the German Society, but should be glad to read the wording of the referenced source. In the meantime, I modified the phrase about the recognition. Regards from Germany. AHert (talk) 09:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
