Talk:Jilu Mandarin

message: The article says Ji Lu Mandarin and Beijing Mandarin are very different.  As a native speaker of Beijing Mandarin, I must say this is absolutely untrue.  The classification of Ji Lu Mandarin which includes Tianjin, Baoding-Tangshan and other northern part of Hebei was a political one, not a lingustic one.  It was first drafted in late 1970's and early 1980's, and the main reasons was Beijing and the 3 North-eastern provinces are separate olitical units.  This classification of Ji  Lu Mandarin has a fundamental fault: In the lingual line of that runs from Baoding to Tianjin, the words that belonged to Qing-Fraction of the Inner Tone in Pre-Qin Classical Chinese have shfited to all four modern tones.  This is the same as in Beijing Mandarin and Northeastern Mandarin.  In China modern linguists do not follow this anymore.

Talk:Watch glass

message: A better photograph would be useful here---you can hardly see the thing. Michael Hardy 00:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photograph 

message: Under the heading "Types", the description of glass watch glasses states that glass watch glasses "...provide high resistance to thermal shock, chemical resistance and withstand mechanical durability" (emphases added). This is confusingly written. To "withstand" something (such as thermal shock or chemical action) is to be resistant to damage from it, while "durability" is another way to state that same characteristic, so it is redundant to state that something can "withstand mechanical durability". The second item in the list, "chemical resistance" is likewise awkward, since it follows "high resistance to thermal shock"; two "resistances" in a row. Since the first characteristic listed is "high resistance to thermal shock", I would suggest rewriting the phrase to state resistance to all three factors, such as "...provide high resistance to thermal shock, chemical or mechanical damage".

message: Most sources agree that the W.3 was the floatplane version of the M.7; but Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation says that the W.4 was the M.7 floatplane (p. 402) and doesn't list the W.3 at all. I'd write this off as a typo on Jane's part, but both the RAF Thesaurus (here) and the NASM Directory (here) say that there was indeed a W.4. Because I don't know how independent these sources are of the Jane's entry, I haven't included the W.4 in the article text, but have redirected W.4 to here for the time being. --Rlandmann 00:05, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of members of the 2nd Palestinian Legislative Council

message: I have just started this page since I couldn't seem to find it anywhere else on Wikipedia and many other parliaments seem to have equivalent listings... please note that the captive status of the members is taken from . It was very difficult to identify many of the members due to differences in transliteration of the names and also the issue of given names vs full names... so this part isn't yet exhaustive.
Further constructive contributions to this page welcomed... especially:
*Linking of members to relevant wikipedia profiles (I've attempted to start this)
*Identification of other members currently in detention
*Adding to relevant Wikipedia categories and wikilinking from other pages
*Perhaps adding a link here within the "Politics of Palestine" template

thread_title:  Glenn Greenwald's marriage status 

message: Usually if they have children, it’s usually done by the spouse, but this is not always the case 
Unlike siblings where they always have both or one parent in common, spouse doesn’t always have the same children because they can get divorced then get re-married, so in that case spouse is defined by related to the person you’ve been legally married to. 
You know there are people who have stepparents because there biological parent was divorced or died 
Siblings are different where in order for them to be counted as a sibling you must have both or one parent in common, if that person has two different parents then that person is regarded as a non sibling, if they share a grandparent in common but not a parent then there first cousins, if they share a great-grandparent in common but not a parent or a grandparent then there second cousins, siblings are zeroth cousins. 2603:6011:E00:FDE9:D907:396B:6163:1CC8 (talk) 21:29, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Verethragna

message: Paul Thieme agreed with this principal feature, but clarified that while the wealth of archaic elements in the Bahram Yasht clearly point to the pre-Zoroastrian era, the interpretation of proper names is "highly conjectural", and "in no case do we get a decisive argument against their Indo-Aryan or old Indic character" (Thieme, 1960:302). Adopting "the exact linguistic and exegetic analysis" of Benveniste and Renou, Thieme concludes "Proto-Aryan *Indra has assumed the functions of a Proto-Aryan god *Vrtraghna." Noting that Vrtrahan is the name of Indra only in the later Sanskrit texts (but not in the Rig Veda), Thieme adds "there is no valid justification for supposing that the Proto-Aryan adjective *vrtraghan was specifically connected with *Indra or any other particular god." (Thieme 1960:312-313)
IMO, this paragraph is extremely confusing. Which "proper names" are "Indo-Aryan or old Indic" - the names in Bahram Yasht (as the syntactic context suggests) or the Sanskrit ones (which makes more sense semantically)? If the idea is that Sanskrit Vrtrahan developed in the Indic sphere quite independently from Avestan Verethragna, this should be stated more clearly. Also, I don't understand how one and the same author can both assert that there was a "Proto-Aryan god *Vrtraghna" and at the same time claim that "there is no valid justification for supposing that the Proto-Aryan adjective *vrtraghan was specifically connected with ... any ... particular god." Again, Thieme's position on this should be summarized more clearly.--91.148.159.4 (talk) 21:19, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
