replies: text: You are right, Tochal is not a range like [Alborz] and of course it's a part of Alborz.

Talk:Ynglis language

message: Ynglis language is just English. Why is this being called a language as if it were separate from Middle English? - Calgacus 08:59, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Dunno, just came across it myself. The redirect to Middle English didn't seem too informative, and Northumbrian (Anglo-Saxon) looked more relevant so I've taken the liberty of changing the redirect to lead there, though to my mind that's an Angle area and the Saxon bit is a later construct to imply early unity of what became England. The Mercian Language article title, redirected from Mercian (Anglo-Saxon), suggests a rationale for the naming. ....dave souza 15:38, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  All "Inglis" means is "English"; it's like having separate articles for French and Français. Despite the fact that the Galwegian language got redirected to Galwegian Gaelic, there are enough dialects as language on wikipedia to give Northumbrian the status of language in the title, but Inglis/Ynglis is absurd, since it's just a contemporary rendering of English. - Calgacus 23:09, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Question: Can the form "Ynglis"/"Inglis" be found in the Old English period, or is it entirely Middle English? If the latter, it is doubtful if this should be redirecting to a form of Old English. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ)  22:13, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Portal talk:Lithuania/Guest book

message: H Padleckas - a member of both the English and Lithuanian Wikipedias by identical User names.  This portal mentioned the Geographical Center of Europe.  I originally wrote an article which I called Geographical Center of Europe for the English Wikipedia stating that the center was in Lithuania and I wrote the equivalent article lt:Europos Geografinis Centras for the Lithuanian Wikipedia.  In the photo present in both English and Lithuanian articles, the woman standing near the center is my mother. (Pictures were changed.)  Last time I looked, the Lithuanian article was still there.  Since I originally wrote it, "my" English article has been merged with Geographic Centre of Europe, which mentions several other candidate locations for the center.  I have uploaded into WikiCommons a number of photos taken in Lithuania by my relatives.  
Sometimes, I like making pictures.  In addition to numerous other pictures (mentioned on my English Wikipedia Talk page archives), I did a couple map translations as follows:  I took the English map of Russia from the English Wikipedia and translated the names into Lithuanian where you can now see it, :lt:Vaizdas:Rusijos zemelapis.PNG, in the Lithuanian Wikipedia article :lt:Rusijos geografija.  I also took the Lithuanian map of the Curonian Lagoon and Spit and translated into English, where you can now see it in the Curonian Spit and Curonian Lagoon articles, where I also made a few contributing edits.  I made the diagrams or illustrations in the Lithuanian Wikipedia articles  :lt:Koordinaciu sistema, :lt:Kristalas, :lt:Distiliacija, :lt:Laboratoriniai indai, :lt:Sankryža, and several of the pictures in :lt:Chemija.  I also made the illustrations :lt:Vaizdas:Polimerizacija stireno.png and :lt:Vaizdas:Ksileno izomerai.png used in the Lithuanian Wikipedia.  
I wrote the corresponding articles Vilnius Cathedral and :lt:Vilniaus Katedra in the English and Lithuanian Wikipedias, respectively (although they were short), and I wrote Laisves Aleja in the English Wikipedia but have not started a corresponding article in the Lithuanian Wikipedia yet.  I once expanded the English Wikipedia article Lithuanian cuisine, although it has been expanded even more since.  I started the Lithuanian Wikipedia articles :lt:Kuršiu Nerija, :lt:Obuoliai which was moved to :lt:Obelis, :lt:Citrina, :lt:Apelsinas, :lt:Greipfrutas, :lt:Bananas, :lt:Transporto priemone (rewritten since I started it), although they've been expanded since I wrote them.  I also wrote or expanded a few articles on the topic of chemistry in the Lithuanian Wikipedia.  Someday I hope to finish :lt:Aromatiniai junginiai (Aromatic compounds).  I was dismayed when my Lithuanian Wikipedia WikiProject "Vikiprojektas:Chemija, Fizika, ir Inžinerija" (WikiProject Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering) was deleted.  :-(

Talk:Laramie Cigarettes

message: It says that Mrs. Krabappel "...also smokes menthol cigarettes" besides Laramie. But the Laramie mascot is Menthol Moose; doesn't that imply that Laramie must offer a menthol variety? Since we know Mrs. Krabappel has smoked Laramie in at least one episode, and we know that smokers are extremely brand-loyal consumers, may we not deduce that the menthol cigaretes she smokes are most probably Laramie's also? Thus the quoted passage is quite misleading. Fix it. Herostratus 09:22, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Boer states

message: The information submitted herein is POV, and has been flagged for a complete re-write or similar.  If you have a NPOV stance on this topic, please nominate yourself to re-write this article, or collaborate at my Talk page for further information
Ssteedman 09:30, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If article is in your opinion not NPOV, you should make it NPOV instead of just deleting large chunks of information. E.g. if you disagree with the portion about IQ, you can remove it or further neutralise it (although it is sourced). But such things as first and second Boer wars, the Great Trek which led into estabilishing Boer states, etc. are facts and facts should not be deleted. Alcatel 10:46, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Agreed, regarding deletion of text vs. rewriting of text re: comment posted in my User:Talk.  Would it not help, perhaps, to (for the time being), substitute acknowledged defamatory remarks (for example, kaffir) with less incindiary ones (such as "black people")?  This way your article is less caustic but still gets its message across.
The other problem is that of racial stereotyping.  By posting such messages about kaffirs and the like, only serves to fuel the stereotype that all white South Africans are racists and proponents in Apartheid, which is not always the case, but certainly harms our international reputation when international visitors (who are, by and large, biased in favour of black people) stumble across your text.
In the spirit of Wiki, and indeed that of South African reconciliation, may I propose that I modify your text to be less caustic, or at best, for you to re-word it to a more neutral point-of-view?
A good example would be the I.Q factor; whilst supplemented text you provided does indeed point to the theory that black people hold a lower I.Q, the book itself is heavily biased.  It is important to consider the source of one's facts in order to maintain neutrality.  (Similar examples would be the use of Hitler's Mein Kampf to back up Hitler's domestic policies against Jews and the ensuing Holocaust; whilst the text provided (Mein Kampf) does justify the means (Holocaust), the text itself is biased, and therefore any article based on this is, ipso facto, biased and non-neutral.)
Best regards,

Talk:Screwy Squirrel

message: As this character is generally known as "Screwy Squirrel," and is so billed in his shorts in which he is ID'd at the top as the star, this article about the character should be titled "Screwy Squirrel," allowing a lack of confusion should someone want to add an article on his first film, Screwball Squirrel, to the encyclopedia. At this moment, that title in the list of Tex Avery's theatrical output attached to his article is indeed a link, but it leads here, to the character's article. The aforementioned confusion has already started, but since I cannot change this article's title, I shall delink that title for now. The motion is open to discussion.

Talk:The Tampa Tribune

message: What exactly are we basing this claim on?
Largely indeterminable 07:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Right of center? 

message: I am a former publisher of The Tampa Tribune, so my bias should be clear. That's why I'm suggesting this on the talk page instead of simply editing the article.
This article is about The Tampa Tribune. The fact that a nearby newspaper is larger is barely relevant, and certainly not worth mention in the initial sentence of the article. In fact, there are six ABC-audited daily newspapers in the Tampa-St. Petersburg DMA and each of them dominates circulation and readership in its home county. In Hillsborough County, which contains Tampa, for example, The St. Petersburg Times' audited circulation is 46,668 Sunday and 32,506 daily, while The Tampa Tribune's is 188,474 Sunday and 143,967 daily. (ABC Audit reports for calendar 2006.)
The opening of this article is objectionable because it reflects a bias toward the commercial interests of The St. Petersburg Times. The Times attempts to persuade advertisers that because its circulation is greatest in a large area, it's the leading advertising vehicle in the same large area. In fact, readership patterns are not at all homogenous.
It would be more appropriate in such a short article to omit the reference to The St. Petersburg Times.

It would be nice to have a definition of or a statement of scope for "oxoanion" on the main article page, at least for me.  Does the salt containing an oxoanion qualify, like NaTcO4 (whcih I just put in the category)? DNA?, RNA? Sulfuric acid I guess not?--Smokefoot 02:46, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
