Talk:Trompo

message: Timpo (talk) 10:01, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

message: This same game, using wooden tops identically to the one shown, was well known to my grandparents' generation in the United States, prior to WWII. I was taught it by both my grandfather and grandmother, who had played it as children, on opposite sides of Oklahoma. I think it is a very old tradition in the United States, and the tops are still sold at places that sell "old fashioned" toys. I think the article needs expanded, using more research. --Aaron Walden  13:45, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Needs more work

message: I have begun translating some of the content from :es:Trompo, the Spanish version of the article, to this article. I just posted the "Description of motion" section in the article; it is almost directly translated over from the Spanish article, but just in case, someone with more physics knowledge should double-check it. For now, I have excluded the "History" section of the Spanish article because it doesn't cite any sources. If I decide to translate it later on, I will post here.

Talk:Molotschna

message: The linked article says that the first Makhnovist attack may have been against Molotschna in March 1919, but later says that "the Molotschna Selbstschutz took the field with a successful attack against Makhnovite forces at Chernigovka (6 December 1918)".  It seems hard to believe that an event can be caused by something that happens four months after it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.177.212.251 (talk) 08:07, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Pieter Neefs the Elder

message: Can we get a ruling on how his name is spelled Neefs vs. Neeffs? Or is one a variation of the other, in which case it should be noted in the article. The article currently has it spelled differently between the title, the img, and the references. Keithh (talk) 15:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Such spelling differences are common in historical artists' names, and the artists themselves were frequently not consistent.  In this case, two sources (the Yale books) use "Neeffs", while the Grove dictionary of art uses Neefs (although even it is inconsistent between articles and recognizes "Neeffs" as an alternative spelling). A quick look at an index of  17th century archival mentions of the painter in Antwerp show that his name was variously spelled "Neefs", "Neeff", Neeffs", "Nef", and "Neve" there. The National Gallery in London goes with "Neeffs" while the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam uses "Neefs". My unscientific intuition is that in current literature "Neeffs" would slightly outnumber "Neefs", but both are fairly common and I was responsible for using both in this article. Therefore, I added an "also" for that variation. --Stomme (talk) 16:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:How to Suppress Women's Writing

message: I agree with Julian. Very well done! I imagine that this page was nonexistent before your additions so kudos. Here are the edits that I noticed:
-Did a minor edit by adding "and" haha
-You mention "it explains how women and minorities are prevented from producing written works," however, you never mention minorities anywhere else throughout the wiki page. It is unclear whether you are referring to women as minorities (which is true) or how I think most people will read it as racial minorities. In which case you don't talk anything about minorities. I recommend you either delete that or you relate the "methods" (at least some of them) to minorities.
-The background section should be moved before the methods section. Seems to read more chronologically/logically for readers.
-Your first paragraph has a lot of great information yet no support or citations. I see one after the first sentence. Can you find citations for the information on paintings, authors, or style? I think it would bolster your argument.
-Also I would encourage you to add to the reception section. It seems very brief, granted, I know it is difficult to find more information but that is an area to think of improving.
Also, love the photo. Hope this helps! Great work Austin and Kim!!!

thread_title: Editing

message: Great job! Keep it on fighting the good fight. 
A couple of notes:
"Although primarily focusing on texts written in English, the author also includes examples from non-English works as well as paintings" feels a little awkward. Paintings feels like it was tacked on at the end. 
"Russ aims to describe the systematic social forces that fight female authors" It seems like the female authors should fight the systematic social forces not the other way around. "Oppress" maybe?
The title "Methods" is a little confusing, however I'm not sure how to fix. "Methods" might suggest the various writing methods that Russ employed to write the book, although if you read the section, it is quite clear what Methods mean in this context. I'm not sure how to change it or if you even need to. 
I don't think you need a "Background" section. I think you could probably put that information in the header. 
Great job with the grammar and such. Although I am terrible at punctuation and spelling, it seems that you didn't make any mistakes. Take that with a grain of salt, though.  Jmwisebird (talk) 03:26, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Rongzom Chökyi Zangpo

message: According nyingma scholar, Ronzom Chokyi Pandita, a perfect shamatha is necessary for those who have not understood dzogchen perfectly and experientially, who have nevertheless received Dzogchen teachings and are practicing according to Dzogchen view. The reason why it is necessary is that one needs to stabilize one's mind so that one can integrate the knowledge of Dzogchen.

Talk:National Legislature (Sudan)

message: Given the lack of en.Wikipedia coverage of the various forms of the Sudanese legislative chamber(s) since independence in 1956, together with the ambiguity of English translations of the Arabic names, and the advantage of having this as an overview article (to be extended to cover the history of the various legislatures when/if someone is willing to do that), I propose that the present title National Legislature (Sudan) be changed to National legislature (Sudan) to show that this is about "the legislature" in a generic sense, rather than focussing on the specific legislature(s) (one or two houses) existing at any epoch of Sudanese (and split Sudanese/South Sudanese) history.

message: Her date of birth is given variously as 25 August 1966 and 25 August 1970.

(The latter date appears only on fan sites, as far as I can see.) I have provided that as a reference although it only implies the year and does not specify the date. Her blog entry for August 27, 2007, which I've also given as a reference, refers to her birthday party as being the day before; that may be explained by time differences or holding the party a day late, perhaps, but for the sake of certainty I've removed the specific date.217.42.13.36 17:15, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

For this reason I think its fine for many plant articles to include a gallery. I did remove the gallery in this case however since I was able to fit those pictures into the bulk of the article.

Check out The Man From C.A.M.P. for more details on Victor's aliases regarding that series (including the cookbook.)  The cookbook is mentioned there as well because it is more about the C.A.M.P. series than Victor himself.  There was also a book called The Gay Cookbook that came out during approximately the same time frame - it has nothing to do with Victor or C.A.M.P. but it is a lot of fun.

Talk:Beita, Nablus

message: According to Noam Chomsky (see references) on April 6 (sic) 1988 twenty hikers from Tirza Porat led by Romam Aldubi were crossing village land in a show of strength when they came across Mousa Saleh Bani Shamseh, a shepherd with his flock. Aldubi shot him dead. In the confrontation that followed the Israelis were forced into the village. According to Chomsky it was here, after Mousa Saleh's mother threw a stone at Aldubi that Romam Aldubi opened fire with his automatic weapon and killed Hatem Fayez Ahmad Al-Jaber and severly wounded several other villagers. He also killed Tirza Porat, a teenage girl, member of his own group. He was disarmed by the villager who destroyed his gun.  As punishment for the death of Tirza Porat the IDF destroyed 15 buildings in the Beita 'giving people ample time to leave'. ['a total lie' says Chomsky who counted twice that number of destroyed houses including all their contents.] At least 60 villagers were arrested and 16 year old Abdul Halim Mohammad Said was shot dead. 'Half a dozen' of the prisoners were deported.
Romam Aldubi was brought to trial but the charges were dropped on the grounds 'that what had happened (was) already punishment enough for him'.Padres Hana (talk) 21:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
