Talk:Æthelred

message: We seem to have duplicate disambiguation pages and that is wasteful of space and look-up energy. One spelling should redirect to the other and the other should contain all the disambig material. All non-Ethelred "disambig" should be removed as this is not really disambig. The etymology should be taken out and put perhaps in one of the most famous Ethelred's, as this page should be for disambig. Alternatively a short article could be created just for the name of Ethelred.Dave 16:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kloran

message: It occurs to me that this is pronounced in a very similar way to the Qu'ran. Thoughts?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.56.120 (talk) 20:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: this is intentional. You have to remember that for most of the past few centuries of Western culture Muhammed has been seen not as a religious figure but as an historical "law maker". the Qu'ran was studied by some of the Founding Fathers as part of their legal education. People were of course aware of Islam the religion, but to Westerners the story of Muhammed was about him being the barer of civilisation to a previously unenlightened land, something Americans in particular related to (see, for example, the image of Muhammed on the Supreme Court building). So making this reference would have seemed perfectly natural, even for a racist. --86.152.125.229 (talk) 20:57, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Labyrinths →  – No clear primary topic, the short story has 2,028 views but the maze has 20,579 and it looks like its at least sometimes countable and most Google, Images and Books results are for the maze.

Crouch, Swale (talk)  17:37, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

text: The title of this article is distinctively different from Labyrinth, which does not have a plural in its title, and is not allowed to have a plural there according to Wikipedia article title rules (no matter how many times the word takes a plural ending), so I'm not sure that there's any problem...

replies: text: P.S. The only other article potentially competing for the title "Labyrinths" is Labyrinths (Marilyn Crispell album).

replies: text:  See WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT "The title of the primary topic article may be different from the ambiguous term. This may happen when the topic is primary for more than one term, when the article covers a wider topical scope, or when it is titled differently according to the naming conventions. When this is the case, the term should redirect to the article (or a section of it). The fact that an article has a different title is not a factor in determining whether a topic is primary.". This means the fact the maze is titled singular by Wikipedia rules doesn't mean it can't be a competitor or even be primary despite the title, see this comment for example.

Talk:Novuss

message: This article misleadingly attempts to imply that novuss is not simply a variant of carrom.  That needs to get fixed.  It's blatantly obviously just a variant of carrom, and not very different from American carrom, Australian puck pool, and other cued carrom variants.  — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont]   ‹(-¿-)› 16:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed that. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont]   ‹(-¿-)› 21:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Digging around more, it's looking to me like games of this sort popped up in various places, perhaps, but that most of them are certainly descended from Asian carrom.  We know that this game or game type became popular aboard ships, because the boards/tables were small and used pucks that would stay put on mild seas and not roll around hopeless all over the place with every wave. That would certainly explain the spread of carrom from India to colonial Britain, where we know carrom was popular. We also have (not well sourced yet) info in this article already that the Baltic states got the game via sailors picking it up in British ports, perhaps only as early as the first quarter of the 20th century. — SMcCandlish    Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib.  05:05, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Novuss and cued carrom variants

message: The article claims that novuss itself is spreading around the world, but this seems unlikely.  It is likely that game being referred to as novuss in such contexts is a non-novuss, cue-using carrom variant in several other of these countries. Actual evidence that novuss itself (not just American-style or new carrom variants) is being played in the US, Canada, Australia, Israel, England and Germany needs to be cited; Finland, Russia, Georgia and the Ukraine are more plausible.
