Talk:Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic

message: For this proposed separation to have any purpose it needs to include the relevant content, which today seems to be located in the article Transnistria. Either split that article into separate parts regarding the de facto political entity and the geographical region, or merge this into the main article. -- Domino theory 12:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Either merge into or split Transnistria

message: This is what other editors have done, before and repeatedly. And if you look at history, there seems to be some level of consensus for this, both by the Romanian editors (including at admin level) and by those who normally take the opposite view. This is a rare consensus for Transnistria related articles, so it would seem that a redirect is the logical choice. - Mauco 13:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

text: sheesh, I give up. Whiskey Pete 21:27, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Whiskey Pete, the article at Transnistria is about the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.  It's only called "Transnistria" because that is the common name, in English, for that country/entity, and we go by common names for article titles (otherwise, for instance, Switzerland would be "Helvetic Confederation").  If the article at Transnistria was about the autonomous region of Moldova, or the geographical region of Transnistria, then this article would be useful.  Transnistria, however, is not about that, it is about the PMR, (while being careful to also explain its legal status as part of Moldova), and so this article is entirely superfluous. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 21:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Some old books talk about the Angola and Congo kingdoms being in Lower Guinea. How does that fit in with the descriptions here? --moyogo 16:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Lower Guinea

message: "A competing theory, first forwarded by Leo Africanus (1526), claims that 'Guinea' is derived from Djenné, the great interior commercial city on the Upper Niger River.[4]."
Hunwick (2003:277-278) contains a modern translation into English of Leo's text: "This next kingdom is called Gheneoa by African merchants, by its people Genni, and by the Portuguese and those who know these lands in Europe, Ghinea.[31]"
Footnote (n31): "Ghinea (Guinea) is the name applied by early European sources to the coasts south of the River Senegal and is derived from the Berber root G-N – 'black' (see Basset (1909), 147), but it was never applied specifically to Jenne. Malfante (1447) knew of Jenne as Geni, while De Barros (active in West Africa 1522-32) calls it Genná; see Crone (1937), 87, 140. The name 'Gheneoua' is the Moroccan term gnawa (from the same Berber root G-N), used for West Africa and its people in general (see also the same usage by the 12th century Andalusian geographer al-Zuhrī, Corpus, 94 ff.)

Talk:Dagen McDowell

message: An anon IP has edited the article to state McDowell's name as "Mary Dagen McDowell".

Talk:Bhupinder Singh (musician)

message: This article contains the following two sentences, which contradict each other:
1.
In 1968, music director Madan Mohan heard him over AIR, and called him to Bombay. He gave him a chance to sing the song Hoke Majboor Mujhe Usne Bulaya Hoga with Mohammad Rafi in Chetan Anand's Haqeeqat.
2.
He got his break when he was heard by music director Madan Mohan over AIR who invited him to Bombay in 1964 and then gave him a chance to sing the song 'Hoke Majboor Mujhe Usne Bulaya Hoga' with Mohammad Rafi in Chetan Anand's Haqeeqat.
As Haqeeqat was released in 1964, 1968 seems to be incorrect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red2Wiki (talk • contribs) 20:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Parallel and cross cousins

message: The use of "cousin" to refer to people classified as "sibling" by many people reflects the (culture bound) theoretical assumptions of the people who developed kin terminology. It would be useful to have a short note concerning the origin of this terminology.

thread_title:  History of kinship terminology 

message: In a patrilineal culture (such as the Omaha system), cross cousins are the subject's father's sister's children. In a matrilineality (such as the Crow system), cross cousins are the subject's mother's brother's children. These are synonymous, just two ways of viewing the same relationship.  If A is B's father's sister's child, then B is A's mother's brother's child.  I'm removing that line.  Nik42 22:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I highly doubt Gandhi knew enough Russian to be able translate a letter from Tolstoy.  He did, however, speak English fluently, after having spent time in London.  I think it's much more likely therefore that he took the original copy he had read - in English, as it was published in the English newspaper Free Hindustan - and just translated from that.  I would assume that Tolstoy had it translated into English himself before even sending it to India.  Good job, SuzanneKn, for pointing it out.  --Martin.fish (talk) 23:32, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Pennsylvania Route 60

message: With the extension of I-376 expected to take up the bulk of 60's route by 2009, will PA 60 be decommissioned? I would imagine that it would at least be extremely truncated. I could see the portion from I-80 to its intersection with PA 418 becoming an extension of 418 (its southern terminus is with 60), while the part from Robinson to Pittsburgh's west side possibly becoming a spur route of PA 51, as it would not make sense to have a two-digit route so short. (OK, so nearby PA 50 is short, but besides that one.) Route numbers 451, 651, 751, and 951 are available if that were the case. I'll email the idiots at PennDOT to see what's going on.

message: User:Darkcat21 has repeatedly added the following text to the article:
:The style of the song is a bit different from other X Japan's ballads. In Say Anything, the voice is higher than in other ballads such as Tears, and it is longer.
It is not without an ironic twist, that "Tears" is actually over a minute longer than "Say Anything". Also, while "voice" probably implies "vocals", their actual pitch for this individual song is hardly relevant as it does not differ a lot (if at all) from Toshimitsu Deyama's other vocal performances for X Japan. Therefore, the text in question has been removed from the article. - Cyrus XIII 17:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
