Talk:Calliope

message: As usual on wikiality, every opportunity to promote music and commercial products is used in the thinly disguised "triva-style" section. This list is just a list of commercial products and the only reason for their inclusion here is to promote their sale. Or SPAM as it's otherwise known. Wikiality is full of it, and no doubt Jimbo Wales and his cronies are skimming their cut of the viral marketing.
And... is this article the best someone can do on a character that has existed in mythology for over a thousand years? If she were a star wars character, there'd be 10,000 words on her outfit alone. 
Just shows you the caliber and depth of knowledge of people who write for wikiality. Godawful, lame article -- and yet, because of the skewed, gamed page-ranking that wikiality enjoys, this pile of crap comes up first over high quality, scholarly articles on Calliope. That's just plain wrong, unfair and unjust.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.136.214 (talk) 15:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Agnes Scott College

message: First paragraph references the "Seven Sisters of the South" but the link takes you to the traditional Seven Sisters Colleges (of the Northeast:  Smith, Wellesley, etc.).  There is an article on Women's Colleges in the Southeast, but no specific page for the SS of the South.  According to Geni.com the SSoS include Agnes Scott, Brenau, Hollins, Mary Baldwin, Salem, Sweet Briar, and Wesleyan.  While this list sounds legit, I'm having a hard time finding an authoritative source and so have not created a separate page for them.  Cellmaker (talk) 22:11, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Whistled language

message: I my youth I've seen a TV program about a whistled language language in Carpathian Mountains. I am a bit feeble-minded now and don't remember, whether it was of Ukrainians or Hutsuls (Rusyns). Any info? Mikkalai 01:41, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Umm.... what exactly is going on with the introduction section? It's really long, confusing, refrenced wrong, and looks like it was plagiarized from another source.

thread_title:  Article Structure? 

message: This article doesn't really address the question of how whistled languages develop. I mean, do a bunch of people just suddenly say, "Hey, you know what? We should start whistling our speech today"? In the case of tonal languages it's not so hard to imagine, but otherwise...
Or is it simply that not much is known about that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.67.178.229 (talk) 01:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Needs Fixing

message: The follow part of the text is tagged for "weasel words", presumably due to the author's back-and-forth statements. 
"The expressivity of whistled speech is likely to be somewhat limited compared to spoken speech (although not inherently so), but such a conclusion should not be taken as absolute, as it depends heavily on various factors including the phonology of the language."
I have an idea of how this could be corrected, but am not a SME, and as such I want to float it here rather than edit the text directly. My proposed change is:
"The expressive power of a whistled language can vary greatly, in relation to both the spoken languages they are associated with and other whistled languages. This variation depends heavily on various factors, including the phonology of the language."
I realize that it is still indecisive, but I do think this version is less evasive. I am not sure if it is entirely accurate, however, and I gather from the evasiveness of the original that this is a topic of some controversy. I would appreciate some feedback on this from a few SMEs, and perhaps some discussion. Schol-R-LEA (talk) 13:40, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

This part is not very important and has nothing to do with this person. As a matter of fact, an article about Ghazi Algosaibi is crucial for this encyclopedia. He is a very important person in Saudi Arabia.

Talk:Canoe camping

message: I use the phrase "canoe tripping" to describe the canoe-equivalent of backpacking.  "canoe camping" to me sounds static, like "car camping".  I'm relatively new, so I'm not certain of the protocol for changing a name or adding a redirect, but I'll throw this idea out there for people to think about.  --  BlueCanoe on 1/4/05.
:You may be right, but the first image that came to my mind when you said "canoe tripping" was a person sitting in a canoe in the middle of a lake and smoking a joint.  There's certainly no approval process for adding Wikipedia:redirects.  I'm also pretty sure that there isn't one for moving pages, either.   However, I think that this page should stay right where it is.  I just ran a Google test, which indicates that 'canoe camping' is used about three times as often as 'canoe touring' and 'canoe tripping' combined.  --Smack (talk) 01:54, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Waler

message: Having been active with the Lighthorse Association of Australia and with a general interest in Australian military history and getting around to looking through some articles on wikipedia I'd like to point out that there is no official reference towards a "whaler" being a defined breed and that historically the term was used to describe horses purchased in Australia for British Commonwealth government service overseas where they were known as New South Whalers or Whalers.
I intend to get some references from the official histories and other literary sources then come back and make an addition to the page.

message: Should there be a mention of the recent same-sex marriage of two RCMP Members, both of whom wore their uniforms in the ceremony? Perhaps there should be a section for the when/why the uniform is worn. 69.194.35.109 18:54, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etiquette 

message: - This description of how the red serge is worn refers only to the "Review Order"
- "The breeches are always worn with braces." Not always, Braces are always used with the formal dress "Banana" pants though. 
- "the ever-present side-arm in a brown leather" - This is incorrect, there is a version where there is just the belt + strap and no pouches nor side arm, this is referred to as the stripped Sam Browne, an example can be seen .
- As for the red sege being worn at weddings, the honour guard will usually wear a stripped sam browne while the groom will wear the cerimonial version of the uniform. This includes the Serge and Stetson (Only worn outside) but forgoes breeches for the 'Banana Pants'; the Sam Browne for a ceremonial belt with a gold buckle; and the Strathcona Boots  for small black slip on boots called "Congress Boots" that also have spurs.

thread_title: Merge?

message: I'm not sure merger is appropriate (although this article needs a lot of cleaning up). Generative Linguistics includes a variety of subdisciplines including Generative grammar, Generative phonology, optimatity theory, generative morphology, distributed morphology etc. Generative grammar is normally restricted to the syntactic side of things (but also includes a wide variety of approaches from the standard theory to MP). 
Also nativism isn't actually the defining characteristic of generative linguistics/grammar (although prevelant in mainstream Chomskyanism. What's important for being "generative" is being a generative system in the mathematical sense of the word. AndrewCarnie

Talk:People's Liberation Army Navy

message: "A 2016 review concluded that PLAN's missiles had higher firepower than the USN's, measured in terms of "strike-mile", the ability to delivery a warhead using anti-ship missiles (ASM) across a given distance. The review used the following formula for every ASM the navy had in its inventory:
Total strike-miles=(Range of an ASM × Warhead weight of an ASM) × Number of such missiles carried by a warship × Number of such warships in the navy
It concluded the total firepower of the PLAN was 77 million strike-miles compared to 17 million strike-miles of the USN."
This was not comparing the firepower of each fleet but rather the firepower of each fleets major surface combatants. critically not including carriers. Given that US doctrine places emphasis on concentrating ASM firepower in its carrier air wings and using its Destroyers and cruisers to defend those not mentioning this is misleading.

Talk:Piper PA-34 Seneca

message: The 3-view presented as being that of a Seneca V is actually not a Seneca, but some other aircraft. Obvious differences are the tapered wings (Seneca's wings are rectangular), rearward-retracting nosewheel (Seneca's nosewheel retracts forward), divided windshield (Seneca V windshield is one-piece), the number of lateral windows (six, while the Seneca has four) and the larger, wider-chord vertical stabilizer. The drawing is generally similar to a Seneca, but is actually another airplane. It seems to be one of the Cessna light twins. Brunobl (talk) 13:59, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

message: The various specializations of this model do not seem to be appropriately covered in separate article . They would be, I think, much more understandable as sections here.

(I know German technical description has a reputation for being extremely unreadable--which I think is undeserved--to me, it just takes some sympathy & familiarity with the spirit and syntax of the language.

message: I think the cite flagging in the § I just edited is for the unsubstantiated thing about decomposition. I think what was trying to be said and what it is perfectly valid and reasonable to say, is that work is divided into requirements analysis, design and implementation. Comically in the current common culture with "agile" and what not, even having this, let alone having them at some known quality level, is a tremendous step. Nonetheless it's not supported by the defining document or anything else, and technically it is distinct from and not specifically mandated by CMM.
