Talk:University of Guyana

message: Heads up that I merged a separate article for the Berbice campus. It was totally unsourced, and I couldn't rationalize the need for a separate page (esp. considering a Google search for the complete name "University of Guyana Berbice Campus" resulted in a mere 4 pages on Google: press-releases, graduation announcements, non-notable crimes at location.) That being said, I doubt it was controversial, but it was my first merge so there's a possibility I missed a step.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Estheim (talk • contribs) 12:17, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City

message: No, I don't think it should.
I flew from Weeksville (WVL) for two years (1985-1986) as an airship pilot of Airship Industries. Despite close links between the two, the former US Navy blimp base at WVL is separate and very distinct from the airport and Coast Guard base at Elizabeth City (ECG), and has always been so. WVL was owned and operated by the Bureau of Aeronatics of the US Navy: ECG is a joint municipal airport and facility of the US Coast Guard. WVL was (is) used exclusively by lighter-than-air aviation while ECG is all about heavier-than-air craft, both fixed- and rotary-wing. The only real connection between the two is that they happen to be geographically quite close. To combine these two articles would be like combining the Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art with Ripley's Believe It or Not, after all they're both in Manhattan!

message: I think the picture does not show a Continental O-300. Actually, the article says the O-300 "are a family of air-cooled flat-6 piston engines for aircraft".

message: This was constructed as an article when it really should have been a disambiguation page, at least for now (Gelding has its own page, so this may justify one eventually).  The importance of keeping this a separate page from Sheep can be seen by looking at "What links here", there are goat pages in that list.  Many people will recognize this as the name for a castrated male goat without having any idea that it can also refer to a sheep.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 17:59, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Sean Mathias

message: The introduction currently states that Sean Mathias "was named one of the 101 most influential homosexual people in Britain", per The Independent on Sunday. The text from that source refers to the "gays and lesbians" who make up the list of influential people, but this is, of course, when denoting the whole group - which contains gays and lesbians. In its entry for Sean Mathias, he is not described by any particular term since it is obvious, through his inclusion in the list, that he is gay.  Now, while homosexual women are labeled as "gay" and/or "lesbian", it would be rather difficult to locate a description of a homosexual male as being "gay" or "lesbian"! And the sentence begins with the pronoun "He", so the words that follow are about the subject, not the whole lot. The sentence, as currently written, is linguistically messy. We must change it to read either "He was named one of the 101 most influential homosexual people", or "He was included in the list of the 101 most influential gay and lesbian people". I changed it to the latter, to seek some middle ground with editors who prefer to retain the sentence as it currently is. -The Gnome (talk) 09:40, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Rossnowlagh

message: Soinbhe: The inaccurate translation heavenly cove dates to Father Simon OFM's booklet about the Rossnowlagh Friary that dates back to the 1960s. For example, Ross is the Irish word for headland, not cove. 
Correct. Ros is Irish for headland so the correct translation of Ros Neamhlach as bearla is Heavenly Headland. The text has therefore been changed to reflect this. Many in the locality and in Donegal incorrectly translate it as heavenly cove. Note also that neamhlach is not a direct translation of heavenly.
Soinbhe: Joyce's more scholarly Irish Place Names translates Rossnowlagh as Headland of the Apple Trees, a name evident in the many old orchards still in evidence close to farmyards in Rossnowlagh where the mildness of the winters long ago, as today, allowed apples to grow well.
Neamhlach clearly does not mean apple trees or indeed orchards, so in this instance, Joyce's publication would seem to be incorrect. However, the older name for Rossnowlagh, such as used in 1853 by TCD, is Rossinaulagh, and Ros Neamhlach is claimed elsewhere to be a lingual corruption of 'Ros an Abhla'. Abhla does not have a well-known meaning. Nevertheless, overall Heavenly Headland is the most widely accepted academic translation of Ros Neamhlach.

thread_title:  Meaning and Translation of Ros Neamhlach 

message: Hi Brenont. The area colloquially known as Rossnowlagh covers 2 parishs, Drumholm and Kilbarron, so stating it is in Drumholm parish is incorrect. Additionally, there is no need to mention anything about a religious-defined boundary such as a parish, as this is not done for other areas such as Ballyshannon, Bundoran, nor is it done for the vast majority of towns in Ireland from Kiltimagh to Wexford.

message: The redirect to FLIR Teledyne just isn't very helpful as that article doesn't mention anything about the PVS-22 itself.  Would rather this stay a red link (though there is history in the edits that shouldn't be deleted).  After looking through MoS and other pages about redirects, I'm still not sure how to handle this but I think taking the redirect offline would be more helpful than keeping it up.
Edit:  I see now that removing the redirect doesn't change the blue link to a red link but just leads the reader to a dead end here.  I'll just add a quick note about the PVS-22 on FLIR's page then.  Not a great fix but still better than having the reader completely confused about why pvs-22 links to FLIR.Jasonkwe (talk) (contribs) 10:44, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Speedy nomination

message: I don't believe the article is correct in comparing the contraction of fresca scata into frescata in the eyes of a greek speaker as being similar to the way an english speaker would view "freshit."  Is this assumption sourced or at least the conjecture of a bilingual speaker?  This type of contraction is actually very common in greek, where it is known as crasis, while english rarely contracts simply because the two words share the same letters at one's end and the other's beginning.  Thus I would imagine the comparison is less than apt, "freshit" in english seeming less obviously a contraction than "frescata" in greek.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.180.35.210 (talk) 05:03, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

message: According to the page on the Wishaw_and_Coltness_Railway the Stirling Road station was situated 2 miles north of Carluke. It was opened as Carluke in 1845, renamed Morningside Stirling Road in 1848, and closed in 1853. This conflicts with the information on this page.

Talk:Jonathan

message: Disambiguation pages are not articles and different guidelines apply to them. Please consult WP:MOSDAB, particularly the section on avoiding piping: "This guidance to avoid piping means that a link to a redirect term will sometimes be preferred to a direct link, if the redirect term contains the disambiguation title and the redirect target does not." Also see the section on individual entries, which states that "Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link. To avoid confusing the reader, do not wikilink any other words in the line." Further, you shouldn't remove entries (Jonathan, Minnesota; Jonathan of Conté) just because they don't have direct links; even without using the redirects, these would still be legitimate dab page entries. Those issues aside, I'm certainly open to discussing the sorting and order of individual entries (Jonathan (apple), Brother Jonathan). --ShelfSkewed Talk 15:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Good Article
Talk:Decommunization

message: This article has a long of original research in general, however one facet that stands out to me is the inclusion of Political Cleansing in bold formatting in the main section of the article. The article's usage of this triggering term seems to suggest that the removal of communist symbols is inherently negative, while in many examples this may not necessarily be the case. At least when discussing the removal of Leninist, Stalinist and Maoist symbols, I don't think it's fair to equate this "political cleansing" to real-life political cleansing that non-autocratic movements face in the context of democratic backsliding and dictatorship.
Furthermore, the section "Purging and prosecution of former communist officials" and its rather odd conclusion of an anecdote from Barbara Harff about no communist nation being convicted of genocide seems unneeded at best and tone-deaf at worst. It is largely known that the Khmer Rouge committed genocide from 1975 to 1979, and many well-regarded historians have argued that the Holodomor within Ukraine was a genocide performed by the Soviet Union in the 1930s. This anecdote is only one example of an entire deluge of inappropriate comments spread throughout the article, as if one or more editors had inserted them to make the article more sympathetic towards self-described communist regimes that now see themselves as the "victims" of a "political cleansing."
Building off concerns about original research within this article, many off-hand comments seemingly defending communist regimes are present. When covering Stephen Holmes' review of decommunization within former East Germany, the inclusion of the sentence "After the initial desire "to root out the reds" came a realization that massive punishment is wrong and finding only some guilty is hardly justice" is completely inappropriate. This violates Wikipedia's guidelines about neutral coverage, as the anecdote is worded and positioned in such a way where a casual reader may assume it is a fact being stated. As such, this comment and others like it should be removed from this article, and more appropriate comments and anecdotes should be added. Royz-vi Tsibele (talk) 02:12, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
