Talk:Dian Cecht

message: Regarding the image-needed tag, I'm unaware of any archaeological renderings of Dian Cecht, and there are limited modern interpretations of both Dian Cecht and the well of Slane.  I'd suggest removing it unless someone has a proposed image or image topic that could be used.  Lakmiseiru (talk) 07:49, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: image-needed tag

message: Quarantining the "plough" etymology in the article (since it was only supported by a web source):
Dian may be translated as 'eager,' 'swift,' 'forceful,' or 'strong,' thus permitting a meaning of 'Eager Plow'. Additionally, Dian Cécht's children Miach and Airmed, whose names are often translated as 'bushel' and 'corn-measure,' support an association with agriculture and plowing. Amaethon is another deity from Welsh mythology whose name is associated with plows.
Though it was cited alongside, Shaw, p. 167, is actually dismissive of this etymology, saying it made "little sense".
Williams also thinks the plough etymology is "presumably not relevant", and also explains how the meanings of Miacha (=bushels of grain) might be relevant to the apothecary profession (rather than peasant), citing Neil Macleod.--Kiyoweap (talk) 00:09, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Joe Bacuzzi

message: It’s not relevant whether the internationals Bacuzzi played in were official or not. The fact is he played for the England national football team and therefore should be regarded as an England international. These wartime internationals did not just include any Englishman available. As the article states, his team mates included the likes of Stanley Matthews, Joe Mercer and Tommy Lawton to name just a few. Djln--Djln 18:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Canals of Amsterdam

message: I have moved this list to the talkpage. The intention of the creation of this article was to bring together in one place a discussion of the canal system in Amsterdam and to give details on the more significant canals which could then be broken out in summary style on the major canals.
Simply listing the former canals is not by itself significantly helpful to the reader as the list is not put in a meaningful context. However, it can be useful to have such a list somewhere from which people can draw information and make a decision if the canal needs to be mentioned in the article - so I have moved the list here. Red linking these minor canals is unproductive and inappropriate as full articles will not be written on them - note that Prinsengracht hasn't yet grown into a break away article, and that is one of the more significant canals. If there is something to say then that can be said here in this article, and people can keep adding until the canal achieves a section of its own, and people can keep adding until the section can be broken out in summary style to a stand-alone article. 
If there is some disagreement with this move then I would welcome a discussion to seek a consensus. SilkTork *YES! 17:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

message: "Since the construction of the canals, there have been plans to connect the north of Amsterdam (Amsterdam-Noord) to the city center. In 1999, a plan was made to complete the existing canal circle in the North. Plans to gentrify this area are still under development, but the plan to complete the canals in the north has not yet been incorporated."
This makes it seem as if the city council was seriously considering this plan or was even behind it. In reality, it is the brainchild of a single canal enthusiast who has been trying to get backing for his idea on forums and with financing companies, rather unsuccessfully, for years.
I'm quite certain this shouldn't be on this page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.74.78.173 (talk) 17:38, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Khan

message: The lead for this article is: "Kahn is a German surname. Kahn is the German word that means, in informal contexts, small boat. It is also a Germanized form of the Jewish surname Cohen, another variant of which is Cahn." But then there is a separate article, Khan (surname) (also about a surname), which includes the bizarre hatnote "Not to be confused with Kahn" (??). Why is this the primary topic? It seems like Kahn should be a disambiguation page, but then what would make sense for page titles for either page? Move this one to Kahn (German surname) and the other to Kahn (Asian surname) (roots, it would seem, in Mongolia, but the article mentions several Asian countries)? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:55, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure I understand. Khan has nothing to do with this article, the hatnote is probably there because the two names have similar pronunciation and spelling. The actual ambiguous terms are at Kahn (disambiguation), and none of those are as prominent as the surname. —Xezbeth (talk) 11:37, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I am a fool :) I came to this article because of a notification that a link had been created from here to Khizr and Ghazala Khan.

Looks like the person adding the link just realized their mistake [faster than I did]. Oops. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:04, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  why is this the primary topic? 

message: Sorry but there is such word as "Kahn". Even google asks did you mean Khan?? 
Cain exists so does Cohen and Cohenim but not "Kahn"
In the game Mortal Kombat, it has always been Shao Khan from the beginning. The "Kahn" spelling seems to be something new after some political pressure on developers it seems. Even gamers say Shao Khan or Kotal Khan because that is the correct spelling for eg. Genghis Khan 
Kahn cannot be pronounced Kha it would be pronounced closer to Can. But the point is that there is no such actual word as "Kahn". This just seems to be a plagiarization of Khan. The correct words would be Cain, Cohen, Cohenim, Kohen and Kohenim 
By the way the female version of Khan is Khanum or Khatun

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/X-1 (rapper)

message: First off, this guy has been an active Rapper since at least 1998, appearing on several Onyx albums, as well as solo albums from Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr. ANY fan of Onyx would know who he is, and heard of him. Someone else even added to the page I created, stating how he has an upcoming solo album in the works, they also added a DOB, which means he is obviously known.
Just because he isn't as famous as rappers like Jay-Z or Eminem, does that mean he shouldn't have his own wikipedia page? Or is everyone ready to attack this particular article because it is that of a RAPPER? I wonder if the same would be done for a ROCKER'S page. The reason I created this article has nothing to do with "death" of any sort. I wasn't even aware that he was dead, and I created the article before any such event happened (as someone above mentioned).
http://allhiphop.com/blogs/news/archive/2007/07/05/18221025.aspx There is a citation to prove that people knew who he was, just because YOU might not have known, doesn't mean his article should be deleted.

* There are good, out-of-copyright photographs of Leon. One of them should be added.
* Much more detail could be given regarding Leon's time in the Russian Duma. For example, the political party he belonged to -- Constitutional Democrats/Kadets.
* Leon was also elected to the Polish Parliament. This is unmentioned as of now.
* Leon's ideas were critiqued and rebutted by Lenin in the latter's works. This seems very noteworthy.

Talk:Sarahsville, Ohio

message: There is an issue with the statement:
"The racial makeup of the village was 98.99% White, 0.51% African American, and 0.51% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.54% of the population." 
Firstly, this 0.51% from two or more races is only one person and how can they be from two or more races? Does this mean one parent may be asian while another parent may be indian, or something along those lines? If so, then i suppose it does make sense. Furthermore, using these calculations, the population of Sarahsville is 103.55% (98.99 + 0.51 + 0.51 + 3.54). I think it may just be a problem with the way this statement is worded, but it doesn't make any sense. Are these 7 people (3.54%) counted under the 'White' status, but are actually Hispanic or Latino? Is this possible? Confusion!Loki at6 08:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct about the two-races: it's someone with ancestors from two different racial backgrounds.  As far as the Hispanics: note that it says "of any race"; as far as the Census cares, Hispanics and Latinos are not a separate race, but members of one of the other races (in this case, most or all of them are white) with a different ethnicity.

thread_title:  Which side ? 

message: It would be useful if the article could highlight, objectively speaking, the sheer cumbersome unnecessary timewasting pointlessness of a scrum. Often a scrum is caused by a totally trivial infringement; it then takes the best part of two minutes for sixteen players to assemble themselves at the site of the proposed scrum, crouch, bind, and set; the ball then typically just gets fed to the side that is awarded the scrum anyway: it doesn't go down the middle, it just goes to, and then back through the legs of, the side putting in the ball, giving the opposing side precious little chance of capturing it. It would be far simpler, and more intelligent, and sensible, and time-saving, instead of there being a scrum at all, for the ball just to be given to the side awarded the scrum, to play on with (as happens in rugby league most of the time) than have all this pointless stupid rigmarole, which wastes a couple of minutes needlessly and typically only results in the side putting the ball in getting it anyway due to the absurd preferential angle of the put-in that is given a blind eye to in the modern game. Since the ball doesn't go down the middle, and no one bothers to see that it does, and it seems to be accepted it doesn't have to, which corrupts the concept of a fair contest for the ball, the most intelligent thing to do is to get rid of the scrum entirely and have a quicker, better, way of simply giving possession to the side that would otherwise put the ball into the scrum (i.e. an instant restart rather than wasting two minutes assembling a conglomeration of players pointlessly).
These points could usefully and sensibly be made in the article. 81.98.1.62 (talk) 20:29, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
