message: Is there a run-time iconv utility that will convert ASCII text to other character sets? In particular, one that can convert raw-ASCII single-byte text to double-byte text?  This would be most valuable to convert (say) Chinese text files that (incorrectly) display in single-byte ASCII text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.232.201.37 (talk) 00:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

text: If your Chinese text file incorrectly is displayed as ASCII, you shouldn't convert the text file, but instead do something about the software doing the displaying, or possibly something about metadata which labels the file with the wrong encoding. (If the metadata is part of the file, you would only need to convert the file in the sense of changing that metadata.) --83.255.55.91 (talk) 11:10, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Lebennin

message: Doesn't Lebennin itself mean 'five waters'?  —Tamfang 16:56, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but such repetitions of the same information in multiple languages are very common historically and Tolkien was seemingly fond of them... for instance, "Bree-hill" is based on the English village of Brill, which comes from Bre-hyll (where 'bre' is welsh for 'hill' and 'hyll' is old english for... 'hill')... so 'Hill-hill'. --CBD 18:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone think there could be a connection between Lebennin and Lebanon? I only ask because Middle Earth is sort of based on the real earth and Lebennin falls close to where Lebanon is (near the lands of harad, which is sort of like arabia) and the symbol of Lebanon is a tree, a bit like Gondor. And Lebanon has historically had a significant christian community, and Tolkien was very christian. It could just be coincidence, but I think there could be something to it.

″Swami Brahmananda
Brahmananda, born Rakhal Chandra Ghosh, was one of the direct disciples of Ramakrishna and the first president of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. He was born in Sikra Kulingram near Basirhat, Kolkata. Ramakrishna recognised him as his 'spiritual son'. 
He became the first president of the mission. Reverentially known as "Raja Maharaj", he was largely responsible for the initial development of the mission, which was remiss due to the death of Vivekananda.

Does anybody have time to give it a thorough editing, and maybe add a few half-decent references? MrDarwin 17:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bitter, are we? :-).  Most of the hits in Google Scholar seemed to be from subscription-only journals (especially Aquatic Botany).  Most of the articles seemed to be either about a particular species, about the placement in Malpighiales or a few about the internal classification of the family. I did switch to a regular internet search, and found some decent articles which included an introduction to the family, which I have now added to the article, but nothing as detailed as a list of genera.  As for our list of genera, we could perhaps just delete it, unless we think someone is really going to turn any of those redlinks into decent articles, or even just use the list for reference.

Talk:Totalitarian regime

message: A totalitarian regime is
:a political regime based on subordination of the individual to the state and strict control of all aspects of the life and productive capacity of the nation especially by coercive measures (as censorship and terrorism) (Merriam-Webster definition of totalitarian)
Totalitarianism is
:the political concept that the citizen should be totally subject to an absolute state authority (Merriam-Webster definition of totalitarianism)
Some scholars view "totalitarianism" chiefly as a typology (see Totalitarianism). I think this is just a way of changing the subject and challenging any use of the term to link Fascist and Socialist regimes. But what I think doesn't matter.
