Talk:Geordie

message: Especially where the vowels are enumerated in transcription, it would be very desirable to have examples of English words in standard spelling containing them; otherwise a lot remains unclear.--94.155.68.202 (talk) 01:12, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Examples needed 

message: After a bit of toing and froing the first para of the lead is hopefully both accurate and readable, and tolerable to most people. Obviously Wikipedia is about following the reliable sources, but on this occasion I can't find sources that support my own experience of what a Geordie is. I come from the fringes of Geordieland, and to me a Geordie is someone who speaks Geordie and more importantly self-identifies as a Geordie. There are parts of Northumberland and Durham where nearly everyone is a Geordie, and other parts where practically no-one is. It would be fascinating if an academic did some research and produced a "Geordie map"! Tammbeck (talk) 07:49, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is a Geordie? 

message: "The word "Geordie" can refer to a supporter of Newcastle United.[13]" - The article referenced says: "It was hard to judge Newcastle when they played City because they were reduced to ten men and then spent the game on the back foot. St James’ Park will be packed with screaming Geordie fans and I think West Ham, who weren’t really tested by Cardiff last week, will lose this one."
So yes - sure you can refer to Newcastle fans as Geordies: after all, most of them are, and it's a reasonable thing for a footy journalist to say, but it's a bit of a stretch to use this as the basis for implying that Newcastle fans are known as Geordies. They are much more likely to be referred to as the Magpies, or some variation on "the toon".

thread_title:  Is the band Geordie from the Geordie-speaking area? 

message: Geordie is a continuation and development of the language spoken by Anglo-Saxon settlers, initially employed by the ancient Brythons to fight the Pictish invaders after the end of Roman rule in Britain in the 5th century. Is it me, or it seems to read that the language spoken by AS was initially employed by the AB to battle the Picts?

If this is an educational assignment, you should probably tell your teacher to make this known to other users--and to read Wikipedia:Student assignments.

Talk:Pedagogical pattern

message: Since this seems to reference the same idea, based on Christopher Alexander's work, as the articles at Design pattern (computer science) and Design pattern (architecture), it seems to make sense to move it to Design pattern (pedagogy) or the more general Design pattern (education).  This would also make it fit better on the disambiguation page.
Also, if I've understood the intent correctly, it seems that it should link to Christopher Alexander, Pattern language (the general idea), and A Pattern Language (the book -- this article doesn't exist yet).

Talk:The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn

message: How "high" were the ratings? IIRC, he lost pretty much all the time to Conan O'Brien. Mike H 19:23, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)
Both Kilborn and his predecessor Tom Snyder generally lost to Conan.
I think this article should be moved/renamed, since the title of the show is currently just The Late Late Show and will probably include the name of the new host once the network picks one.  The Late Late Show currently points to an article on the Irish talk show of that name - maybe the new article could be The Late Late Show (CBS)?

Talk:Camberwell Carrot

message: From VfD:
Is this really a common but specific type of joint? Deb 19:37, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: I am afraid this is very subjective, but then my reasons for questioning it are also. The Camberwell Carrot is neither "unrollable" nor "unsmokeabe". It can use anywhere up to twelve papers (small by tradition, as the film was made before large were invented) although depending on the method a roller may require more. The easiest way to role a "Twelve skin" Camberwell carrot is in a 1-2-2-3-4 formation, i.e.

thread_title:  "Unsmokeable" 

message: This page is a mere dictionary definition (something which Wikipedia is not).  It explains the meaning and alleged origins of a phrase .  I can't find any encyclopedic content on this page.  The definitions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.
Options to fix the page here include:
# Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
# Redirect the page to a more general page on the appropriate sub-genre of slang.
# Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the  template).

message: The original (as last edited) version of this page was substituted by an entry advertising a Pakistani engineering firm.  The entry and short history of the Taiwanese/Chinese ECS firm is incredibly important when trying to trace the correct supplier of Hsing motherboard BIOS updates.  
In any case this is not the correct place to advertise Pakistani companies as this page is part of the Taiwan project, I believe.
I have replaced the page with the most recent edit, and would request that it be kept focussed on the original corporate group for the benefit of the millions of legacy computer owners who may need to source bios updates.

replies: text: "On Cyprus" and "in Cyprus" are different. Military of Northern Cyprus is the article on the military of Northern Cyprus. This allows Military of Cyprus to be used for the military of Cyprus. This is a normal method of standardization based upon the way the individual countries are titled on Wikipedia. Thus Military of Ireland redirects to Irish Defence Forces (the military of Ireland) and is not a disambiguation page because there is a different military associated with Northern Ireland. Since Germany is an article on the current country, Military of Germany sends users to its military without special reference to the Military of East Germany. If Cyprus was rather at a different title, you would be correct. Military of Korea is a disambiguation page because neither North Korea nor South Korea is located at Korea. Can you find any instances of links to Military of Cyprus that are actually referring to Military of Northern Cyprus?
