message: Hi all, I was just wondering if the term Prince is correct. I mean, it might be mentioned in some English language sources, but according to the political and feudual structure of Georgia I really don't think that the term prince is right. In Georgia we say Tavadi, which is same as count. I think there is a need for a new article Tavadi, which is a Georgian noble title, because if we look at different European nations, the terminologies are different. For example, in Italy they say Graf and in Spain I think they have Juntas. However, nowadays junta has a very negative conotation in South America. SosoMK 03:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Soso. You are basically correct in that Georgian tavadi once corresponded to the European count, but after the Russian annexation the title was equated to knyaz which is normally translated into English as prince. I think current version is fairly accurate though there are no precise Western equivalents for the Georgian titles. Best, --Kober 04:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey

message: I am not so sure wheather I like the "Title reference paragraph".
I think "The posited benefits, as in Amsterdam  and other European cities," is rather judgemental. First of all marijuana is legal in all of the Netherlands and not only in Amsterdam. And the legelization of crack cokaine in one of the worst parts of the city of Baltimore is not really comparable. I get the reference and its obvious that the writers might want to kick of a discussion about this, but the whole "as in Amsterdam and other European cities" reads way to positive...

thread_title:  Paragraph Title reference 

message: The article currently says:
* The name "Hamsterdam" comes from the drug dealers mishearing when Herc refers to "Amsterdam", and of course the reference to pork given that the police are controlling the area.
In other words:
* Police > pig > pork > ham + amsterdam = hamsterdam
But is this a true derivation? How can we know? From my watching of the show, I have been assuming:
* hamster (cage) + amsterdam = hamsterdam

Talk:César Cui

message: There are different death dates reported in the literature, mainly 13 February March, 24 February March (Grove et al) and 26 February March (Slonimsky et al).   I trust Slonimsky over Grove, and I trust either of them over non-lexicographical sources.  
I suspect the 13 February March date came from someone inappropriately converting the 26 February March date back to the Julian calendar, despite the fact that Russia had adopted the Gregorian calendar the month before Cui died.  Immediately after then, communications being what they were, I’m sure there was a transitional period when there was a lot of confusion going on.  --  JackofOz (talk) 05:47, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Nazarov's biography (p. 221), the death date was March 13, at 9:30 a.m. (noting also that various encyclopedias incorrectly give the date as Mar 26). I have edited the date in the main article to reflect this. Mademoiselle Fifi (talk) 01:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The article of the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza which forms the basis of this (mis-)conception of why the bridge was not completely blown up is the only report of the two Poles having cut the fuses, and it was first published in 1993! There are no documents of the Wehrmacht showing that Silesian Poles ever belonged to a unit stationed around the bridge at Remagen! If you read the headline of the article in the Gazeta (Small state and a gerat victory) you realize what the aim of the article was. And have a look at the lemma of Gazeta Wyborcza as well, so you know what kind of paper it is - certainly not a respectable one!

message: Whether it is conscious or not on Trollope's part, the treatment of Mrs. Proudie reveals the frustrations of ambitious women in his era.  In another culture she might have been a good leader; in Barsetshire she is forced to work through her husband, and gets criticized and ridiculed for that.  Some of her actions are actually admirable, such as forcing the corrupt Rev. Stanhope to carrry out his duties.  Whether or not he approved of the oddities of Victorian culture, Trollope was at least aware that more than one point of view was possible.

Talk:Min Zhu (entrepreneur)

*other wording, Depositions by Zhu's daughter refuted some but confirmed other of Zeleny's allegations. FloNight 02:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: God knows the last thing this article needs is any more discussion, but there is a fundamental difference between claiming that the depositions refuted some claims and that they confirmed some claims.  We should be very careful defaming anyone, especially people who are not here to defend themselves.  It is inherently unfair to imply that un-named allegations have been proven true without being able to spell out exactly what and how.  The problem with depositions, as I am sure we all remember from last time, is that they have limited probative value unless tested in Court.  Keep the original wording imho.  We also ought to be careful of involvement by any of the parties concerned in writing this article. Lao Wai 15:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We're constantly watching for involvement by concerned parties at all articles. The depositions were made under oath and are part of the public record, and are acceptable reliable sources as pointed out here before. The former passage, recently added, uses weasel words ("refuted some but not all") to impugn Zeleny's allegations, the gravamen of which was supported by testimony in the depositions for anyone who bothers to actually read them. The latter passage is accurate and balanced. Either go with the latter passage or none at all. Why is this an issue again? FeloniousMonk 16:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well we need to keep watching.  Actually that is not my recollection of what was said before at all.  At best they show what Ms Zhu's state of mind was at the time.  I do not see that as weasel words.  I am happy to agree on cutting it altogether.  I reject that characterisation of the depositions as it happens, but I think we should not go into that here. This is an issue because someone did not let sleeping dogs lie and changed it.  If you're happy with cutting the entire sentence, I am happy with cutting the sentence, consensus may be easier than last time. Lao Wai 16:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:NetBIOS over TCP/IP

message: lkcl 22sep2006 the redirection is incorrect.  NBNS is not equal to NBS.
NBNS, according to the rfc 1001 and 1002, stands for 'NetBIOS Naming Service'.
NBT - known as NetBIOS over TCP (actually it's NetBIOS over both UDP and TCP so what the hell the acronym is misleading people for i _really_ don't know *sigh*) - cannot therefore be the same as NBNS.
>> NBT is NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and TCP/IP is the common name for the Internet Protcol Suite of which UDP is included.
could someone please explain how to 'unredirect'?
:NBNS is one of the protocols in NBT (just as NBDS and NBSS are), which is, I presume, why the redirection was done.  Redirections aren't only used when title A refers to the same thing as title B; as Wikipedia:Redirect#What_do_we_use_redirects_for.3F notes, it's also used for "Sub-topics or closely related topics that should be explained within the text", although that indicates that the page should explain the NetBIOS Naming Service (which it does to some degree), and probably that it should note that it's called "NBSS" (which it currently doesn't do).
:The Wikipedia:Redirect page also says:
::Sub-topic redirects are often temporary, eventually being replaced by fully fledged articles on the sub-topic in question. Be conservative when creating sub-topic redirects — they can sometimes be counter-productive, because they disguise the absence of a proper article from editors. Sub-topic redirects should only be used where the main article has a section on the sub-topic. For example, denial of service has a section on distributed denial of service. Sub-topics should be boldfaced on their first appearance in the section, to indicate that they are in fact alternate titles or sub-titles.

Taibbi is a very popular surname in Sicily, and could have been imported by past waves of immigration from the Middle East (see Arab Emirate of Sicily).  I'm certain that Mike Taibbi is from Boston.  Coincidentally, Boston's North End once had a sizable population of immigrants from Sciacca, in Agrigento, Sicily.
