Talk:Puniya

message: ----
Punia (Hinduism) heading of the article seems misleading because this is not much related with Hinduism. It is regarding the history of Punia clan or gotra. Its heading should be Punia (gotra). burdak 07:58, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

message: As the Google book hits show, Punia (57,700 hits) is hands down the WP:COMMONNAME as compared to Poonia (17,800 hits) or Puniya (4,890 hits). Actually, the current title is least used in the reliable sources, and we don't have a single person's article with this spelling of the surname.

message: The geographic coordinates are given as 27°51'40" - 28°1'53" N, 112°23'52" - 112°38'13" E .
Why these intervals? Are two locations actually given here -
:(1) 27°51'40" N, 112°23'52" E
:(2) 28°1'53" N, 112°38'13" E ?
I have been unable to find the correct values, but I believe it's not far from (1).
Shaoshan is in fact two locations, viz. the actual village, and the touristic centre located at the (today oversized) railway station by the same name. In addition, the farm where Mao was really born may be situated outside the village proper; I don't know.

Although pink had no particular association with homosexuality in France in 1903 (or even, I think, in 1925/27), certainly by the later date it was associated with sexual licentiousness more generally.

Talk:Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere

message: A re-edit has given us this:
:It was probably built in the early fourth century although, since the church was one of the tituli, the parish churches of Late Antiquity. In those times the basilica was known as Titulus Callisti, since a legend had it founded by Pope Callixtus I, (died 222), whose remains are buried under the altar.
Perhaps someone who understands that the church is 4th century, but with the reputation of being earlier, for the reasons given, can re-revise this. Too bad the article has to have its illustrations reduced to identical size and lined along the edge like a stamp collector's album. It's not worth one's time to upload 18th century engravings, really, is it? --Wetman 10:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

message: In at least 2 instances, the record label Capitol is misspelled, even though the Wiki link for the company is included first with the proper spelling.
Rhino Entertainment is owned by the Warner Music Group, and the main Rhino label specializes in re-issues. It never signed Young MC directly as an artist. They may have obtained a license to reprint the album "Stone Cold Rhymin'" (and accordingly the hit single "Bust A Move"), or had some access to the Capitol material when he was signed with the label subsequent to his Delicious Vinyl contract. This distinction should be clarified.

message: There is no proof in the article that she writes for The New Yorker.  I realize most contributors are not on their web site, but some link somewhere should exist, which mentions her work.  Or, at least a reference to a specific issue, and what she put in it, would be good.  Anything verifiable would be helpful.   Actually, *any* link which identifies *which* of the several people named "Katherine Beck" is being discussed would be good. 
Also, http://www.columbia.edu let's you search for faculty and staff, and she does not appear.  This is probably the bigest evidence this is fake.
Here are all potential people I found in Google, who have at times used the *exact* name "Katherine Beck", who I've ruled out:
*Notable:
**K. K. Beck (born 1950) as mentioned above.  She's referred to at http://www.citypages.com/databank/18/839/article3154.asp as "Katherine Beck".  But the book is credited under "K.K. Beck".  Proof that it's K.K. is here which says she's better known as K.K.  Here is another case of her going by both names
*Reasonable chance in future of notability:
**Photographer and writer for the Daily Trojan which is a student paper at the University of Southern California.  See was student photojournalist of the year.  She may also have written for Medill School of Journalism
* No known basis for notability
**A self-employed accounting consultant who sits on the Board of the Seattle Lighthouse organization.  Same city, but different career as as K.K. Beck.
**University of Indiana Student:  http://newsinfo.iu.edu/asset/page/normal/912.html - Recent (2005) grad is way to young.
**A WAC in World War II
**A two-year old who almost drowned in 2001 .
