Talk:Ono

message: I've been studying Japanese for a while, and I run into every Romanization, and it irritates the hell out of me that nobody seems to be able to settle on one convention. There is the so-called Kunreishiki which is based on "phonemes," (I wonder WHY Japanese new phonemes other than KANA), there's the "Hepburn" system, and then there's Romanization that just seems to come out of nowhere.
Extentions for the long "o" alone vary from "ou," to "oo," to "ô," to "ō," to "oh." I'm currently teaching English in a Japanese middle school, and it irks me that the teachers are now currently teaching children to just write a single "o," because it "doesn't make a difference." So 小野 or 大野, it's "Ono." WHAT??? Seeing "h" at the end of ANYTHING when I'm sifting through Rōmaji pisses me off, because all this time I'm taught that in Japanese, the only final is "n." (Incidentally some people like to use M, for "N" as in "shiMbayashi," and that pisses me off too. Since when is 新 ever read "shim?" NEVER. Absolutely NEVER. "Shin" is "shin" where ever it's read, there is no "m" final, this spelling is MISTAKEN and it pisses me OFF.) So I see "oh," and I want to say "o" with a breathy "h," like the "h" in "honey," only NOTHING comes after it. Who came up with this needless spelling?
WHY are there all these spellings for the same thing? It's just basically a free-for-all and people can just use what they like! Oh NO! Hhhh! (breathy H) It's frustrating to see a billion different versions of the same thing. I hope something is settled for Rōmaji in the future, hopefully something closer to the Hepburn convention, so everyone, not just mislead Japanese and pig-headed linguists can read it.222.151.236.116 (talk) 06:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is good information, and should probably be added to an article on japanese transliteration. however, in this disambig page, every reasonably common (if incorrect) spelling should be shown. after all, this is to help readers who may have no understanding of this issue to find the article on the topic they THINK is spelled ohno, ohnoh, ono, onoh, onnoh, etc ad nauseum. however, a side point: im still not happy with this list having subjects whose name is not ENTIRELY ono. i dont like "people with surname xxx" added to disambigs like this, for puritys sake. consider "smith" as surname, or "wong", or "michael" as first name.

Talk:Race and intelligence/Archive 58

message: There could be a short overview how media portrays research on race and intelligence but it actually mainly proposes a controversial environmental explanation to the IQ gap. The explanation of "media stereotypes" competes with more plausible (IMO) environmental explanations such as Black culture, nutrition, racism, legacy of slavery, Flynn effect etc.
Thus, I will move it to the proper place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence_(Explanations)#Environmental_explanations
A separate section for this single explanation is just POV pushing.

thread_title: Media portrayal

message: I was wondering why people can't say that a certain people group has a lower iq score than others without it being seen as maliciously racist.  We can state other facts and they are not denounced as racist.   For example, European, Asian and Hispanic people are slower than people of African decent...no european has ever run a 100m dash in less than 10 seconds, while over 20 people of African decent have.  If people of African decent have a slightly lower average IQ than those of European decent, why can that not simply been said?  I understand that culture, SES and family background all affect IQ but the authors of The Bell Curve as well as Arthur Jensen controlled for those factors and still found a difference in IQ.  Can we not just say that different people are good at different things?

Talk:Air Operations Center

message: Hello,
There is no history section, and thus no coverage of prior use of AOCs. During the Laotian Civil War, rather simple AOCs were used to direct air operations to great effect. It would be nice to connect air operations from that war to this article, but at present it would give the untruthful impression that the AOCs in Laos were much grander items than they were. How about it? Is anyone up to research and write a History section?

But he wasn't told he would be on a trip, much less an international one, until he and Adam were being chased.  The Haitian catches him and wipes his mind then locks him in the shipping container.

message: Why I proposed deletion:
* There's no citation indicating that this neighborhood is recognition by any locals or officials.  
* "USF/Panhandle" is a well recognized neighborhood name covering very similar territory.  
* "Western Addition" is the traditional neighborhood name covering a larger territory. 
Alternative to deletion:
* Rename to "USF Neighborhood, San Francisco" and cite sources for that name.  
* It's certainly debatable that this area isn't a distinct neighborhood of it's own, in which case deletion is more appropriate.

thread_title: Proposed Deletion

message: I live here, or hereabouts, and sometimes call my neighborhood "Lone Mountain" myself just to piss off the yuppies who thought they were investing in a home in something the realtors convinced them is called "NoPa". Lone Mountain is an older name for this neighborhood, not so much in use anymore, but it's legit, definitely real and once widely used. Personally, I feel like "Lone Mountain" most appropriately captures the mystery and romance of life on the slopes of our windswept hill, as if you might turn any corner and stumble into a John Ford western, if John Ford made westerns about vapid fashion-obsessed hipsters and status-conscious yuppies. "USF/Pandhandle" is kind of a vernacular, along the lines of calling the Financial District "downtown", I'm not sure you'll find a good source giving that name. "Western Addition" is a large area of the city encompassing a whole slew of neighborhoods including this one, the Fillmore, Hayes Valley, Haight Ashbury, parts of Civic Center, etc. Most realtors call this "North Of Panhandle" nowadays. And, to be completist, if you hit up the Zoning Board's website, there are official maps that show this entire area as part of Haight Ashbury, from Stanyan clear on down to Divisadero. Which, by the way, is the hamlet of Popeye's Gulch. Mike Qtips (talk) 18:07, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I've completed the merging, but the article still needs some work. Douggers 03:52, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This article needs serious work. For example the section on the Battle of Haguro never explains who Mori was fighting for and why he "Made an attempt" on a castle his side was in control of. Also it says "Ieyasu learned of Hidetsugu's encampment at Shinogi (modern-day Kasugai) through the information provided by farmers in Iga Province." But Iga is nowhere near Komaki. What they are implying is the Iga Ninja alerted him but without saying it. Why? Also the sentence "Ikeda's head was taken soon afterwards and, despite Hideyoshi's arrival with reinforcements, Ieyasu decided to withdraw, unwilling to risk further casualties, and returned to Komaki.[" impies the Hideyoshi was on the same side as Tokugawa!
There are lots of names introduced without clear explanations as to who they are or who's side they are on as well.
Anyway I am going to Inuyama castle tomorrow and if I have any energy left after I get back I will try to clarify a few bits. But I'm a sloth so I can't promise anything. Colincbn (talk) 14:08, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
