message: I don't have a strong sense of who reads what at what age in other languages. For example, I'm almost certain that there are a lot of equivalents of YA literature in Japanese (because there certainly is in Japanese film), but I have no idea of authors' names.

message: There are a lot of YA authors on the List of children's literature authors that are not here.  Seems an area for some cleanup, making the two lists consistent.

replies: text: There will never be 100% overlap or 100% exclusiveness between the two categories without losing the distinction entirely. Many titles are considered either "intermediate"/"middle readers" or "young adult" titles, depending on who is doing the shelving. Also, some writers (e.g. Madeleine L'Engle) have written adult novels, YA novels and children's picture books over the course of their careers, and so legitimately belong in all three categories. I personally think that the most important category to list such an author is the one to which most of the books belong, but better still is to be listed wherever appropriate.

Talk:Hound Dog

message: When I found these pgs, "hound dog" went to dog (which is wrong, should've gone to hound or been a disambiguation for both articles, since the phrase is used both ways) and "Hound Dog" was a dab for a list of titles of things.  This could be quite confusing, since we don't know whether a reader looking for a song called "Hound Dog" is going to type with capitalization.  Redirecting "hound dog" to "Hound Dog"--which was done earlier-- flies in the face of most dab pages, which are the lowercase version that then have links to the capitalized versions, so that's what I did.  I think it'll be easier for readers to find the right things this way.  Elf | Talk 06:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I believe Tim Lucas noted in the Fangoria article that the film's original Italian theatrical release title was indeed "Ecologia del delitto" ("The Ecology of Murder"), although I'm definitely not "certain" if this really is the case or not.  As the imdb and amg entries indicate, there is some (understandable) confusion regarding the film's proper Italian language title.

Talk:Charles Maclay

message: Reading this page, it is mentioned 3 separate times that the Tataviam believe Maclay "illegally displaced them from their land." But as both the article and news reports note, this isn't true: Maclay had bought the land. 
From the article: "In 1874, Maclay purchased a 56,000 acre land grant"
From news coverage: "After purchasing a 56,000 acre land grant in 1874, what was known as San Fernando Rancho, Maclay ruthlessly displaced and, the tribe believes, illegally removed the Tataviam people from their land."
Given that no evidence has been presented -- either here, or by the tribe in the below article -- for the claim that Maclay's actions were illegal (the San Fernando Sun even cites an 1896 article that argues the eviction was inhumane, but not illegal) why is there any mention of illegality here? This seems slanderous to Maclay -- maybe not in a legal way, but morally without a doubt.
(By the way, this article is currently plagiarizing the San Fernando Sun word for word. That too should be fixed.)

Talk:Katyayani

message: It's inconsistent that Kātyāyanī has IAST diacritics in the title/URL while none of the other pages in the :Category:Navadurgas do.  In fact all nine names of the Navadurgas require IAST diacritics to spell them correctly, including the name Navadurgā itself.  The best enumeration of correctly spelled names I know of is here: Nava-Durgā - नवदुर्गा - The nine forms of Goddess Durgā
On the Navadurga page, all nine section headings are also missing these diacritics, though most of the "Mantra:" quotations have the the correct diacritics except for the occasional missing macron (e.g. in Siddhidhatri).  Therefore, if anyone thinks this should be rationalised, the easiest way would be to remove the diacritics from the title of Kātyāyanī, adding the missing IAST and Sanskrit spellings to the beginning of its first paragraph, and leaving the diacritics out everywhere else.

thread_title: Citation needed

message: "Su" means "well"? Don't believe so. If we look at  we can see many words dealing with the "Svā-" stem, that mostly deal with being a "master" or "guardian". This is probably from the Proto-Indo-European stem "*swer-" meaning "to speak" or, more relevant, "to guard". As for the stem "āh" (आह), purportedly meaning "to call", this stem appears in such Sanskrit words such as आह्वान, आहू, and the ending of निराह, which may ultimately have come from PIE stem "*agʰ-* for "to lead" or "to move". Thus "Svāhā" could ultimately have that meaning: "Thus I call out for those who guard us, for those who speak [symbolic of being a leader/God]" Mexicocamboya (talk) 04:59, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I removed (also referred to as Salata), as I could not find a single web page relevant to Balata refugee camp.  I searched the terms salata refugee camp, and the only results relevant to Balata cited Wikipedia as the source.
Additionally, the original page created for Salata  was clearly created as a copy of "Balata" replacing all instances of Balata with Salata (notice especially the second external link, in which even the name of the website was changed).  (The Arabic name says Balata), and there's no reference to the official name in the article.
Salata means salad in Arabic, and this looks like a practical joke that went unnoticed.
Furthermore, as a Palestinian, I have never heard anyone referring to Balata by that name.
Therefore, I have removed the reference to "Salata".
