However, if I look up Ozymandias in a dictionary the first words are "a well-known poem", i.e. the word Ozymandias alone brings me to the entry for the poem, I still oppose.

thread_title:  Requested move 17 May 2023 

message: Although most sources agree with the pronunciation of "Ozymandias" given in the article, I note that the London-born, Oxford-educated writer, Simon Winchester, O.B.E., speaking on YouTube's The Michael Shermer Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfOy6puBm6U; first instance at 34:22, second at 34:42) twice pronounced it approximately as "ah-zee-man-DYE-əs" with the accent clearly on the penult and not on the antepenult. Whether this is an idiosyncratic pronunciation of his or else reflective of a lesser-known but acceptable alternative pronunciation, I can't say; although the stress he used on the podcast would affect the poem's scansion, it does at least follow the stress in the classical Greek rendition of the pharaonic name (Ὀσυμανδύας) and echoes a similar disparity in stress that occurs in the English pronunciation of the name of the Achaemenid king Darius. 108.4.145.11 (talk) 00:44, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Chinese characters

message: I suppose the question isn't just for this article, and I know single papers that say all sorts of things come out, but this paper made me a bit self-conscious about how I've currently written the relevant part of this article and others. Any more wizened analysis from others about its conclusions?
Basically, it rejects the notion that the writing system has more or less steadily simplified  since the oracle bone form, and instead views seal script as the historical peak of visual complexity. A weak incentive trade-off between visual complexity and distinctiveness is postulated, but  traditional regular script is overall both more visually complex  more distinctive according to their model. Of course, when Qiu et al say "simple" they don't just mean the pure graphical sense.

BTW. I don't think you need to artificially limit the number of works listed on this page. Wikipedia is not paper, so conciseness is an issue only in terms of readability. As long as the basic idea of a list of works in a library is deemed ok for wikipedia, I wouldn't worry too much about the number of works listed.

Talk:Purnululu National Park

message: I am editing this article, which is not in American English, without a firm grasp of many aspects of British English (let alone of Australian English, if that distinction is important in the areas i discuss below).  And American and British English Differences, Australian English, and even Wikipedia:Manual of Style are silent on hyphenation.
My edit changes the attributive-noun phrase "four wheel drive" to "four-wheel-drive", which is what careful American English does with such a phrase:
"A four-wheel drive" has one hyphen because that is what it takes to clarify that "four" and "wheel" combine to modify "drive" rather than "four" modifying a compound called "wheel drive".  Yet another hyphen is needed in "four-wheel-drive vehicle", to rule out "four-wheel" modifying a compound called "drive vehicle".  (A moment's reflection will remind you that once there are two hyphens not separated by a space, the disambiguation of the syntax is incomplete, because you can't tell which of the two hyphens binds stronger, but most of the ambiguity of the hyphen-free version is gone.)
If British or Australian grammar or style differs here, or in the positioning of "only", i apologize for the mixed-dialect edit. But maybe we can get it documented for those who follow. --Jerzy 06:14, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Your hyphenation is correct. In Australia the problem is avoided by using the abbreviation "4WD", as in the original version of the article.  The article on Sport utility vehicles spells out the antipodean (from your perspective) convention. Tiles 07:00, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Hastings

message: How many horses were used by each side? The Bayeux Tapestry shows 190 horses or mules, of which 182 were probably horses. But it shows horses being used far more by the Normans and the Saxons as mostly on foot, so this cannot be used as firm evidence. How did the Normans get so many horses across the English Channel, when the relatively small boats could have carried only a few at a time?

message: Details of declaration of independence are given below in the article. Jiang's sentence "the Chechen-dominated parliament of the republic declared independence" is misleading implying much more legitimation to the declaration than it actually has.
Invasion is a sensitive term implying that use of force is not legitimate. Following all the international treaties, efforts of the federal center to put constitutional order in the respublic were legitimate.
 
Russian language is primary state language. Chechen language is secondary one. It is not explicitly stated in the constitution of the Chechen Republic that Chechen language is secondary one to respect chechen population feelings, but it is stated in the constitution that only russian language (not chechenian!) may be used for litigations and official documents.
Concerning president V.Putin - please either remove presidents at all (as with California) or put federal president too (as with chinese SARs). Should I mention again that Chechen Republic is NOT an independent country? And never was.
