Talk:Gollaprolu

message: This encyclopaedia article is turning into a collection of lists. I have today checked every person on the list of "Famous personalities" and could only establish a claim to fame for one of them. I have deleted the others. A person may be famous in his home town for a few years, but this does not necessarily make him sufficiently notable to warrant a mention in a worldwide encyclopaedia.
The other lists (Famous Temples, Famous Streets, Hospitals, Panchayats, etc) communicate very little to the vast majority of readers. They should either be re-written as descriptive informative text, or removed.

Talk:Gerard Curtis Delano

message: I have a copy of 
*  A collection of 21 ballads illustrated by Jerry Delano
The phrase "Jerry Delano" did not appear on Wikipedia but a Google search found it was the same person as Gerard Curtis Delano.  The book has "With Drawings by Jerry Delano" on the front cover and "With Illustrations by Jerry Delano" on the title page. While the sample size is one book I'm wondering if his WP:COMMONNAME, at least in the 1920s, was Jerry Delano. For now, I've added a redirect for Jerry Delano to this article and mention of that name in the article.
The drawings are black and white and appear to be done with a pencil or pen. http://www.meadowlarkgallery.com/DelanoGerardCurtis.htm appears to be a decent biography though unfortunately it does not cite sources. It mentions that Delano created black and white illustrations.  I can't see a way to best work that into the article, particularly as I don't regard the meadowlarkgallery page as a WP:RS. --Marc Kupper|talk 19:24, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Gerald Heard

message: I think the categorization at the end of the article is wrong on several scores:  First of all, Heard died in 1971 — so why classify this biography under "1974 deaths"?  (That seems laughable.)  Secondly, I believe he was neither an "English Hindu" nor a "convert to Hinduism"; rather, he espoused Vedanta which is a philosophy that evolved in India — not really a religion, but a worldview that is identical with or very similar to a number of "idealist" or "mystical" philosophies of the West (also possibly found elsewhere in the world).

The painting is public domain cause it's before 1923 and the artist died more than 70 years ago. So right now it's the only valid picture you can use. Elisa.rolle (talk) 10:45, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Telecom infrastructure sharing

message: Hi Cedars,
Actually i got details from Site-Share.com who enables telecom operators in site sharing process. They have successful history. Should i add then as reference / source ? I removed Tarantula.net link as you suggested. But i believe Site-Share.com link will be useful to telecom companies who really wants to dig more.
Please guide.
:Hi Jayeshtula,
:Usually you place external links at the end of the article. If you used the Site-share.com as a reference, create a heading called "References" and add the link under that. Wikipedia offers a general guide on writing good articles here. Wikipedia also offers a service to help you write articles here. A really good way to learn about the style (and syntax) of well-written articles is to spend some time browsing the featured articles. Good luck with your work.

message: As far as I know mast-sharing (at least for mobile phone masts) does not happen in Britain. I have been told that the mobile phone companies don't want it and Ofcom is not pressing for it. The result is that, in some rural areas, some mobile phones will work and others won't. However, if your mobile phone is registered in an EU country other than Britain, you can use any mast through the roaming facility. This means that visitors get a more comprehensive service than people who live in Britain. Can anyone confirm this and supply references? Biscuittin (talk) 11:23, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have found some references which seem to contradict the above.   . However, I think they may be muddying the waters because they seem to be about putting several antennae on the same mast rather than sharing antennae.

Talk:Zanea

message: The given definition of Zanea or Zanya currently posted, despite its pompous and credible wording, is quite ignorant, obviously not created by a person with whatsoever knowledge of Jewish history, who does not know that this is a IVRIT (Hebrew) word/name.  It is amazing how quickly Wikipedia has accepted the view that the Zaneas are no more that just Gipsies, Romas etc., which is how Romanians also view those Jews who were unable to leave Romania.
Being obviously poor, these Jews were kept by the Romanians for cheap labor, and not sold to Israel for 50 dollars.
Incidentally, there are many Zanea in what is now the Ukraine, also in France, Swizerland, Italy, who differ that there is a subspecies of Jewish Gipsies out there, as Jews marry Jews, as Gipsies marry gipsies.  All these are highly educated, charitable, religious Jews, for generations.  
It would be refreshing to see Wikipedia adopt a less insulting approach when selecting the version of definitions to post. I belive I speak for all the Zanea/Zanya/Zania's out there when I say you should be ashamed of your selves for being so symplistic.  My information is verifiable, whereas, if you ask for verification form the president of Iran, just like to Romanians, he will tell you there was no holocaust, there are no Zanea Jews in Romania or anywhere else.  You are as wrong as they are in choosing their biased and limited so called verification.  It is only another anti semitic act...perhaps no big deal to you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.61.243 (talk) 19:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Dutch language/Archive 3

message: ===Recommendations===  I googled the dutch language query both as first and second language.    I found that both first and second language speakers combined together amount to 21-22 million speakers, which is same as that provided in the top right corner in the article.  
Here is some math: 
1. netherlands: 16 million speakers
2. Belgium:  another 5 million out of a population of 10 million (this is an estimate)
3. Suriname:  Another half million.
4. Aruba:  Few thousands.  
* Total:  more than 21.5 million
This can only mean one thing.  There are not more than a few thousand dutch speakers (both first and second language) in other parts of the world.  here is a government link http://www.nvtc.gov/lotw/months/december/GermanicBranch.html   to support this.  
This also means that unless we have credible references to prove that dutch is spoken by the millions or at least one million in countries like Indonesia, we should not put large squares around the globe.    I presume that some of us still have colonial hang over to go on putting dots indiscriminately everywhere on the globe.   Such maps will be deleted.

message: The Dutch page for the Dutch language also mentions Surinamese Dutch and Antillean Dutch as Dutch dialects. However, there is no reference to these dialects at English Wiki nor the Dutch dialects template has hint for these two (notwithstanding the Surinamese flag present in the image). Also, the Surinamese "accent" mentioned in the text of the article redirects to Sranan Togo which is (as far as I know) an English-based Creole language. The Dutch dialects issue in its current form seems to me as handled in a rather "Euro-centric" way. Am I mistaken? Expert consideration please. --Behemoth 19:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

However, both versions are unattributed to a reliable source and were removed.  It's also not necessary to make a value judgement here and correct a view - There are just his positions and statements.  ie, if he were to state that the world was flat, would we be compelled to state here that the greeks 'actually' discovered that the world was round back in 300BC?
