Talk:Dominica

message: Article white-washes the truth.  The article glosses over the fact that native black residents of the island were often raped, lynched beaten by their European slave masters.   It's like taking about Nazi Germany and simply saying "Hitler and his SS helped Jews, Blacks, and physically handicapped to travel to camps.   Hitler loved certain music and is well known for his hairstyle' To make a better world let's end racism and bullying by certain racist editors on Wikipedia.

Talk:Equatorial Guinea

message: The article states that Bata is the largest city in the country, but the Wikipedia articles for Bata and Malabo contradict this, with Malabo having a higher recorded population. Additionally, the Wikipedia article for "List of cities in Equatorial Guinea" shows Bata as the largest city, but that article has no references at all (although that's a separate issue from this article). I was unable to find any resources online that prove Bata is the largest city, but perhaps someone else may be able to find something. 2607:FEA8:1D61:6020:BC03:B8E7:E4B5:6848 (talk) 19:59, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Senkaku Islands

message: The same type of problem that exists on the Senkaku Islands dispute page also exists here. The China Coast Guard was mentioned in the lead section of this article despite not being mentioned in the source quoted.  From these examples, I infer that this page too may have other problematic areas and I recommend that the article be thoroughly reviewed and checked by multiple experts at the earliest possible date, including the edits I made. I am not an expert in the specifics of this dispute, but the fact that I have seemingly discovered several major problems after a brief glance at the articles is not a good sign. Thanks for any help.

thread_title:  Definite article 

message: The government section of the "Outline of the Democratic Republic of the Congo" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.
When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process.  Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.
Please check that this country's outline is not in error.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .
Thank you.
The current section under political history reads "since the independence of the 'arguably' ill-conceived Democratic Republic of the Congo". I believe this wording violates WP:EDITORIAL.

Talk:Namib

message: I removed the statement "The desert is Africa's second largest." because that doesn't seem to be accurate at all. See List_of_deserts_by_area at #21. The nearby Kalahari desert is much larger (and needless to say the Sahara is much larger still). Astarica (talk) 09:33, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  desert size 

message: There seems to be a problem in the caption for the "dune sea" figure:
"Note how the crests of the dunes are aligned in a marked northwest-southeast orientation. These crests form transverse to the formative wind (i.e. crosswise). The dunes act as obstacles, and obstacles cause winds to be deflected significantly to the right, in the southern hemisphere—in effect reorienting the southerly wind as a southwesterly wind."
I don't think that makes any sense--the Coriolis effect causes clockwise flow (to the right) in the Southern Hemisphere, but that doesn't have anything to do with obstacles, and the scale of individual dunes is way too small for it to matter.  I would just say that the dune crests are probably transverse to the dominant wind direction.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Audiosqueegee (talk • contribs) 17:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Antisemitism/Archive 7

message: Some people have a disdain for Jews based on widespread mythical physical characteristics of Jews (e.g. Jews have hooked noses, or devil-like horns),
I doubt many people believe in a myth of Jewish physical characteristics, then, based on that, hate Jews.  I would think it works the other way around: people hate Jews, then use mythical physical characteristics to reinforce their hatred.  DanKeshet
:I agree with DanKeshet on this.  You can see this clearly from the fact that other people with the same characteristics (for example large noses) are not hated on account of that.  The case of horns is also clear; Medieval art sometimes depicted Jews with horns not because the artist really believed they have horns but because the artist wanted to show the supposed nature of the Jews.  Of course there is no limit to human ignorance and possibly some people really believed Jews have horns, but I don't think that is the important or dominant aspect of the story.  -- zero 02:38, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed it.  With your corrected version of the story, it's no longer relevant here -- the decision appears to be one relating to the right of the Conservative and Reform sects to act essentially in as "authoritative" a manner as the Orthodox sect.

No Steve. I am using the latest version of Netscape, and I usually have no pb with floating tables. So this one should have a pb. please fix it but do not let it this way. I do not myself understand how it works very well.
Here is what I see. The table appears just fine. Then below the table, there is a paragraph, with "hostility toward Jews in a degree that greatly exceeds any legitimate grievances or resulting from no legitimate cause whatsoever;" and "disdain for supposed physical or moral features of Jews. "
All this paragraph appears with only one word per line. It is ugly. And I do not think the little improvment some see with the table compensate the fact that some see something very ugly. And as I said, other table appear just fine to me. Hence, this table is broken in some way. Do not just revert it without fixing the pb please. Anthère 06:58, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Official language

message: The lead highlights a variety of meanings of the term official language. The usual cause of contentious discussion is around de facto and de jure but another less obvious difference exists. A language that is official without restriction and a language that is official in defined situations are quite distinct from each other but they are often treated the same way. In Aotearoa for example it is common to defend the use of Maori in some areas of society because it is an official language of the country "so it therefore has every right to be used". In fact, it is official only in limited, defined situations unlike English which is unrestricted. (I will leave aside the de facto-de jure debate for now). However, in other countries a language might be designated as official without restriction. I think we should attempt to break down the different catagories of an official status further, so as to stop the usual result of languages being treated as equal based merely on their being "official". Roger 8 Roger (talk) 01:49, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification of meaning required 

message: 'In spatial terms, indigenous (endoglossic) languages are mostly employed in the function of official (state) languages in Eurasia, while mainly non-indigenous (exoglossic) imperial (European) languages fulfill this function in most of the "Rest of the World" (that is, in Africa, the Americas, Australia and Oceania). Ethiopia, Somalia, South Africa, North African countries, Greenland, Tanzania, Samoa and Paraguay are among the exceptions to this tendency.'
The list of exceptions seems misleading, b/c even the cited source actually shows that in most of them, the imperial (European) languages are employed in the function of de facto (functionally) official (state) languages. The official status of the native language is largely symbolic. This is certainly true of South Africa and Greenland. In Tanzania, Paraguay and Samoa the native languages stand strong and are formally 'official', but it is still the colonial ones that truly function as official ones in public life. Even in Ethiopia, where Amharic long had Eurasia-style official status, English has recently been given de facto official status (although the country has never been a British colony), while the status of Amharic is being weakened and it is increasingly designated as equal to the languages of the other indigenous ethnicities. Similarly, in Somalia, Somali has lost its status of sole language of administration and education and English is the leading lingua franca. The only real exceptions would seem to be the North African countries with their use of Arabic. 87.126.21.225 (talk) 22:15, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
