message: Hello @denniss From the Manual of Style MOS:UNIT, copied and pasted: Quantities are typically expressed using an appropriate "primary unit", displayed first, followed, when appropriate, by a conversion in parentheses e.g. 200 kilometres (120 mi). Further: the primary units chosen will be SI units, non-SI units officially accepted for use with the SI, if the article has strong ties to the US or UK. This is an article on a German engine so regardless of the source, the primary unit is SI, in this case kW and the secondary unit can be the source unit. Avi8tor (talk) 16:41, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not a "must", it's a "should" guideline "where applicable". This is not applicable in this case and in many other cases if engines etc were specified using historic or non-SI units. --Denniss (talk) 09:33, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The manual of style states "the primary units chosen will be SI units" (with exceptions for British and American products). Can you point to the source for your comment. This is a German product and I feel as written it does not follow the manual of style guidelines. PS is a unit of power, but it is not an SI unit. Avi8tor (talk) 11:14, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: untitled

message: Hi Jameleeanneb,
Nice work on editing your article. Here are a few suggestions:
1) In the first sentence, consider revising the phrase "spoken approximately by 8,000 people." This could infer that the people speaking it speak it "approximately", meaning that they speak it roughly, or not correctly. A good revision would be "...spoken by approximately 8,000 people." That will help it to be more clear to readers that the number of speakers is approximate, and not their skill in using the language.
2) In the "Genetic Classification" section, consider modifying the sentence "Contains majority of the languages in the world." Firstly, there's an "a" missing (no big problem, easy to fix). Revision should be "Contains a majority of the languages...". However, this statement as a whole should be modified, since Austronesian does not contain the majority of all the world's languages. It contains the majority of Pacific languages or about 1/5 of the world's total languages.
3) Also in the "Genetic Classification" section, consider modifying the breakdown of the language's family classification. The format takes up a lot of space and isn't the most efficient format for listing the information. I understand that the options may be limited, but if you can think of another way to present the information in a condensed format, that would greatly improve the article as a whole.
Hope that helps!

thread_title: student editor comments

message: The lead section of your article is great where it gives a well insight of the people of where they are speaking the language around the world, but what I suggest is that you give the article a history section. Putting in a history section in your article will give you more information and give the reader a brief understanding and the background of the language itself. Also, when inputting the history section to make sure you grab reliable sources where you are able to put in-text citations to back up those sources. Another suggestion to improve the article is to just input images. It will give the reader a good visual of the language and the islands of where it is established now. Overall, the article is well written with a lot of information with just inputting the history section, reliable sources with in-text citations to back up the history of the language, and images for visual readers.

Talk:Tito Ortiz/Archive 1

message: I don't know anything about Tito Ortiz except this article but I don't understand why the term "Mexican-American" is used in the first sentence. Especially when the article states: "Fighting out of Huntington Beach, California; Town of birth 	Huntington Beach, California." I think that info about his heritage would fit better in a personal-bio section (i.e. his childhood etc.) with something like "...was born to Mexican-American parents" (which I'm assuming).
I know nationality issues like this are often contentious but to me, a Mexican-American would imply he was born in Mexico, is a Mexican citizen (maybe he is?), or lived in Mexico for an extended period to identify with Mexico.
Just my opinion and I only bring it up for clarity's sake.
Being mexican-american myself, i believe that it is purely out of the pride of being a mexican born in america, not necessarily being born in mexico, or spending signifigant time there. Also, being born in California must have instilled the pride in him. I am as much a mexican as i am an american. with no clear line between the two.        --jessie h. 5-6-06

Talk:Tristan Jones

message: According to Dr Ian Spooner and others who knew Arthur in the early 1960's he had always said he was born aboard his father's tramp steamer off Tristan da Cuhna. That is not "a newpast", as claimed by Dalton, and, true or not, must have been the source of his later nom de plume and the naming of who-knows-how-many boy children by parents insipred by Jones' tales.
According to the same source/s a number of the events appearing in his books but questioned by Anthony Dalton did take place, albeit in a different location or sequence. Ian Spooner for one was present on several such occasions when sailing aboard "Cresswell" with Arthur.
He considers Anthony Dalton's research insufficiently rigorous and regrets that Dalton did not make a greater effort to contact those who knew Jones, such as through the Tristan Jones website. Several events and aspects of Arthur Jone's' life known to him were shared with Dalton, but did not appear in the book because of that lack of effort to find contacts, imminent publication and perhaps because they were more favourable to Jones'legacy.
 
Arthur Jones,like Laurens van der Post, Joshua Slocum, Burton and perhaps most adventurer raconteurs, did exaggerate and "gild the lily"; that is the way of real seamen on the waterfront. Nonetheless,his stories were based on real experience, he wrote richly and fluently and the ideas and sentiments he expounded throughout his books were noble and beneficial to mankind and the planet.
It is unfortunate the reputation of this exceptional man, an inspiring wordsmith and example to so many, has been destroyed. A towering character has been tumbled from the firmament and humanity is poorer for losing the inspiration he provided to so many. Quillian43 (talk) 06:30, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
