Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Jai Guru Deva Om

message: Keep - this article is about the phrase, and not about the songs that employ it.  The phrase embodies a hugely important cultural aspect of the Peace Movement of the 1960's.  The phrase has probably inspired alot of people to investigate this area of life, perhaps to the chagrin of many organized religions, and should not be deleted because it makes some uncomfortable.  I found the article helpful as I am becoming aware of concepts like Transcendental Meditation, Buddhism, Peace, The Universe, et.

message: I can accept yolk, for coherency with the wiktionary which lists yoke as a common mistake for yolk. But not joke.
Per WP:MOS, a "see also" section "can include such items as:

* Likely misspellings of Title, for example Belmont, Belmonte and Bellmont
* Different forms of Title, for example Splitting, Split, and Splitter
* Links to indexes of article titles beginning with Title (using ) and/or article titles containing Title (using )".
Adding joke for the thin reason that "in many languages "j" is pronounced "y", so it is a potential homophone for many non-native English speakers." is quite - say - creative. Why not jok, yukk!, yukke, yacht, chalk and yak (disambiguation)? This can go quite far. I doubt DABs should become lists of potential homophonies.

message: While a Google search shows quickly the well establishment of this term, there is no indication I can find of this term's provenance.

replies: text: Very, very quick and superficial searches in Google Books has results for "hopper crystal" turning up from at least 1829, with the publication of The American Journal of Science Volume 15: "They [pseudomorphous crystals] appear to be mostly cast in the hopper-form moulds of crystals, as they are called by the manufacturers of salt." References to the term appear rarely in other chemistry and scientific journals from then on in the works scanned on Google Books. Solely based on that very superficial and non-inclusive search, it seems like anyone looking for the term's origin probably should consider works from before or around 1829 regarding salt.

Talk:Jakob Künzler

message: "Afterwards he was trained in Basel as an evangelist deacon (Krankenpfleger)."
I don't know which is incorrect, the translated "evangelist deacon" or the german "Krankenpfleger". One of them has got to be wrong, because the german Krankenpfleger means male nurse and not evangelist deacon. I suspect the deacon is incorrect, since he went on to become a surgeon doesn't seem to have been directly affiliated with any sort of evangelism. I am leaving this on the talk page and not editing the article until I have had a chance to verify my suspicions. Sunni-01 06:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the German encyclopedia entry (the external link), he apparently did this training at the "Diakonenhaus" in Basel. "Diakonenhaus" isn't a word I'm familiar with, but Babelfish tells me it means "Deacon House", which rather thickens the plot. The German document then has him working in a hospital, so what may have happened is that he trained medically at a religious hospital. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:42, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Myrtle Beach

message: The reason I'm submitting the new design as superior has to do with adding as much information as possible in as a small of a space as possible. I see no reason why we need a section on highways or suburban living communities on the main city template. Pine Island and Grande Dunes don't even have a mention in the main article -- why have them in the template?
Also, why have the airport and other seemingly-random locations in the blue section headers? I don't understand the categorization going on here, and it seems meaninglessly complex.
This isn't a personal attack or anything, but the old template was just a mess. I feel this one provides quick links to what is needed without overly complicating things.
As stated in the original summary, I modeled this template after New York. Myrtle Beach shouldn't have a template bigger than New York, and if one can fit NY into a small template, I fail to see why we can't.

message: Not sure if you were aware that equine forelimb anatomy is out there, but there may be a little duplication.

replies: text: I think too much of the anatomy in this section deals with neck and trunk to work for a straight merge.  That being said, I think forehand as a topic is a resonable one, since it is a topic of discussion in riding.  I would skip the muscular anatomy in this article completely.  I will correct the anatomy section later, in case it gets moved.  The two reference links are pretty weak:  the anatomy one is inaccurate, and the other shows unclear images from different angles.  We should also spruce up the weight distribution thing: the typical standing horse has ~60% of weight on the forehand, and this actually increases with a rider on its back.

I've added the additional 'p' to his Christian name (as per the body of the article), but retained 'zu' as 'of' in the first instance, while providing the titles as German in the first mention, which is also common on Wikipedia.

Template talk:Infobox tornado year

message: A recently reverted edit at Tornadoes of 2019 brought a thought to my head. In years where the maximum rated tornadoes occur in different countries and are rated on both the Fujita and Enhanced Fujita scales, should we lump them all together or split them up by scale. For example, with 2019, should we list it as four EF4 tornadoes or three EF4 and one F4? F and EF ratings are commonly presented as being equivalent, but they are not necessarily and we technically are dealing with two different scales. A tornado that was rated F4 on the Fujita scale might be rated EF5 or, perhaps more likely, EF3 if assessed on the EF scale. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but it seems to me we should distinguish between tornadoes rated on the F and EF scales in these infoboxes. It might also be worthwhile to allow support for the TORRO scale. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:11, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
