Talk:Gdańsk/Archive 2

message: Except just a few of Polish cities that have a commonly accepted English name like Warsaw, Cracow/Krakow and Poznan) all other cities should be named after their native or official Polish name. Usage of German names of Polish cities in English vikipedia is unaaceptable. CC, 21:07, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)
thread_title:  Polish names of Polish cities debate 

message: 24.2.152.139 is vandalizing the article, removing the formatting of Danzig and changing Danzig to Gdansk when the city was known as Danzig. He is also trying to change the interwiki links to Gdansk, although the actual versions (eg. the sv: and no:) uses Danzig as the first form. 24.2.152.139 has also been on the scandinavian wikis, trying to rename the article into Gdansk, and he has been reverted on them.  I ask someone to protect this page. Nico 16:23, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Well, You are vandalizing this and many other articles, by changing Polish names to German, whether the cities were known under German names or not. (Kind of like what you used to do with "Warshau"). Stop calling everybody, who doesn't share your pathologically "germanophilic" tendencies (actually most German contributors don't) a vandal. 
BTW, a revisionist, as the name suggests, means someone who wants to revise, modify. For example: German revisionists (and you're not one of them, clearly, judging by your lack of knowledge of the basics, more of a "wannabe", or pretend-to-be) want to revise the Oder Neisse border with Poland. Now, none of the contributors, who revert your edits express any desire to change, modify or revise the current status quo, so calling them Polish revisionists is as nonsensical, as most of your "contributions". "Polish preservists", would be more truthful, but I don't really think you want to be truthful, as long as you can jump to call people some negative sounding names. I will probably soon see my name next to some juicy epithet like "a known vandal", "germanophobic fanatic", "Polish chauvinist" or such.
Looking forward to one of your usual creatively, accusingly insulting responses!
Sincerely

* Searched the web for Gdansk: Results: 399,000 (English pages only: 299,000) 
Both names are in common use in English, and Danzig is almost as popular as Gdansk.
When searching for Gyddanyzc, I get 93 results. My conclusion is that Gyddanyzc, Kdansk, Gdanzc, Dantzk, Dantzig, Dantzigk, Dantiscum, Gedanum and Gyddanyzc are NOT in common use in English, while Danzig surely is. When dealing with the pre-1945 period, the pre-1945 English name should be used. Nico 19:26, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I have been advocating that we massively boost the amount of information Wikipedia provides on animal anatomy. It could be both interesting and informative, but right now it not anything at all; as it just doesn't exist on the site. I propose the following pages to be created:
*animal anatomy or zootomy - the parent page (perhaps with this article merged into it)
**vertebrate anatomy
***mammal anatomy (perhaps also marsupial anatomy and montreme anatomy)
***bird anatomy - there is already a bird skeleton article, and more than enough info can be taken from the bird article
***reptile anatomy (as of 08/05/06 redirects to reptile)
***amphibian anatomy
***bony fish anatomy
****cartilaginous fish anatomy
**invertebrate anatomy
***crustacean anatomy 
***insect anatomy etc...
:The list could go on forever, I'm not sure whether ALL the possible articles deserve to exist, but most certainly the mammal/bird/reptile/amphibian/fish ones do, as that is what we all grown up with as the five main animal groups from early school. These article currently exist to deal with this field:
*cat anatomy - poor
*dog anatomy - good, but isn't really anatomy, more their physical appearance
*frog zoology - good
*[category:horse anatomy] - a whole category, with articles such as equine forelimb anatomy
*[catagory:marsupial zootomy]
*[catagory:dog anatomy]
*bird skeleton - good

message: Anyone familiar with this term? Personally, I've never heard it outside of Wikipedia. I can't find it in any of my textbooks. A search on the PubMed and BIOSIS databases pulls one result (), but it's pub type is historical or biographical. A search on the EBSCO database pulls one result, which lists zootomy as the last word in "Samuel Johnson's 1755 dictionary". There's a few google hits, but many seem to be forks/mirrors of Wikipedia. Anyone actually a zootomist out there, or works for a zootomy department? I'm thinking this term has been obsoleted. Should this redirect to anatomy instead? jag123 16:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Knot polynomial

message: This article really could use some improvement. First of all, it never mentions that the important part is not that these invariants are polynomials in one variable but that each coefficient is an invariant of a very special type, called Vassiliev invariant, or finite type invariant. Almost all of them can be obtained from the theory of quantum groups; they are also related to topological quantum field theory. This is a very rapidly developing field, with a huge body of  literature available (such as Bar-Natan's paper in Topology). I know this field; however, I do not feel I could rewrite this article. I would rather write a new article, on Vassiliev invariants, from scratch. --Kirillov 1 Jan 2001 kirillov at math sunysb edu

message: I think "8 types of englynion" should really be "8 types of englyn" - no need to pluralise both words. You would say "4 types of cat" rather than "4 types of cats".
Also, in the example section, does it make sense to say "2 englynion" rather than "2 englyn"? Welsh doesn't use plurals in the same way as English, so it would be "2 englyn" in Welsh. If "englynion" is being used here as an English word then it is OK as it stands.
