Talk:Targum (Aramaic dialects)

message: Nonsense.  "Targum" was the word used by Kurdish Jews to mean Judaeo-Aramaic (the Targums are the translations of the Bible into Aramaic): the word "Hebrew" in the source article is simply a slip.  This article should be removed or contain a redirect to Judeo-Aramaic language. --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 15:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. There are two dialects of Jewish Neo-Aramaic that are sometimes called Targumic: the dialect of Sanandaj and the dialect of Zakho. It is clear that the Jews once dispersed throughout Kurdistan did not speak Hebrew as an everyday first language, but that they spoke Aramaic. — Gareth Hughes 10:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da), for noticing this article and sorting it out. Targum when referring to a language can refer to a couple of dialects of Old Eastern Aramaic (Galilean Targumic is essentially eastern under influence from Biblical Aramaic) and a handful of Modern Eastern Aramaic varieties. I suggest that this article briefly cover the Aramaic of the Targumim (which I have covered in Aramaic language#Post-Achaemenid Aramaic — Babylonian and Galilean Targumic) and then discuss the Jewish Northeastern Neo-Aramaic languages briefly. Although Hulaulá and Lishana Deni are the main modern languages that are sometimes identified as Targum, I think it is easily possible for all such languages to be so identified. However, I wonder if we really have need for this article when we have Targum, Judeo-Aramaic language and Northeastern Neo-Aramaic. Perhaps we could flesh this article out with material from them to make it worthwhile. — Gareth Hughes 10:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think we need duplicate all the information in these other articles: it is enough to cross-refer to them.  Strictly speaking this article is unnecessary, but it should be left in place simply as a corrective to the assertion that "Targum" is a dialect of Hebrew, which appears elsewhere in Wikipedia.--Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 11:44, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed sentence
"In the article linked below, "Targum" is wrongly stated to be a dialect of Hebrew."

replies: text: The "article linked below" is an external link (and was the source of the misstatement in the original article).  I therefore cannot fix it, but only draw attention to the error.  Otherwise someone will navigate to it and say "Wait a moment, you say it's Aramaic but the original article you cite says it's Hebrew!"  Can you suggest a way round this? --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 10:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Outline of rail transport

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Chaparral Cars

message: The intro reads:
Chaparral Cars was a United States automobile racing team which built race cars from 1963 through 1970. Named after a California coastal scrubland known as chaparral, it was founded in 1962 by Formula One racer Hap Sharp and Jim Hall, a Texas oil magnate with both engineering and race car driving skills.
The part in bold is the part I feel is fishy. Hall is from Midland, Texas, a West Texas oil town situated on the eastern edge of the American Southwest. The Geococcyx, a bird commonly known as a Chaparral in the area, is pretty common out in the brush in that region. In fact the local junior college's mascot is the Chaparral.
I don't really know what tie Sharp and Hall had to that particular area of California, but I would bargain that the company and cars were named after the speedy little desert bird. It would definitely make more sense. In fact the Chaparral logo even has a silohuette of the bird...
Are there any sources indicating that the company was named for the California region?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.64.153.100 (talk) 01:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I think it is obvious that this song is indeed "hard rock," not just "rock" in general. OED defines hard rock as "rock music characterised by overall loudness and a heavy regular beat."

replies: text: Actually I said genres are almost always not WP:BLUE, particularly differences between sub-genres.  They are almost always a matter of opinion, and this is why genres are so often subject to disputes.  My opinion (which is irrelevant as yours, no matter how many times you've heard it), is that it is not hard rock.  But a good source is what is needed either way. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 13:00, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Confusion on the CCNC website

message: This posted here because also contrary to material on CCNC site:
:Many thousands of navvies worked on the railway. Many were European immigrants. In British Columbia, the CPR also hired workers from China, nicknamed coolies. A navvy received between $1 and $2.50 per day, but had to pay for his own food, clothing, transportation to the job site, mail, and medical care. After two and a half months of back-breaking labour, they could net as little as $16. Chinese navvies in British Columbia made only between $0.75 and $1.25 a day, not including expenses, leaving barely anything to send home. They did the most dangerous construction jobs, such as working with explosives. The families of the Chinese who were killed received no compensation, or even notification of loss of life.  Many of the men who lived did not have enough money to return to their families in China, and many spent years in lonely, sad and often poor condition. But those navvies were hard working and played a key role in building the western stretch of the railway; even some boys as young as 12 years old served as tea-boys.
And even it needs fixing, but it's a sight better than the CCNC's material.  See also Talk:History of Chinese immigration to Canada for more on the payscale thing.
An excerpt from the above just caught my eye:
:The families of the Chinese who were killed received no compensation, or even notification of loss of life.  Many of the men who lived did not have enough money to return to their families in China, and many spent years in lonely, sad and often poor condition.
But none of that was the fault of the CPR or white people, as implied and browbeaten all over the media and curriculum since the "anti-racism" revisionism of Canadian/BC history was launched by the CCNC, but of the Chinese contractors who brought them over and were responsible for getting them home; then abandoning them.
