message: In most instances where they occur in English Wikipedia shouldn't single words in Tibetan script be entered without a final (terminating) tsheg (་) or shad (།)? 
In most Tibetan and Dzongkha dictionaries published in Asia the headwords appear without a final tsheg ཚེག (་) or shad (།)- and native Tibetan and Bhutanese experts I've asked tell me this is the correct practice. However many westerners writing Tibetan words seem to always include terminating tsheg or shad punctuation. Right now there is no consistent practice where words in Tibetan script appear in Wikipedia - nor is there any guideline on this.  Chris Fynn (talk) 08:23, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for bringing this up. I have been in the habit of punctuating words and phrases with the shad, but I'll make a point of leaving it out in the future.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 17:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: A photo of The Faun would be nice. Other images for comparison too, such as Gauguin's sketchbooked faunery, or sculptures would be useful, or the Japanese prints at the "Studio of the South" exhibition. Or a photo of the Art Institute &/or the van Gogh Museum during this time. Apparently, as part of the build-up manhole covers in Chicago were tricked out in post-impressionist garb. That'd be great. Or a picture of the vault where The Faun is being hidden stored. Or the Nunes & Fiquet gallery in Paris. Or Greenhalgh's forged bill of sale. But I do go on.

Talk:South Gloucestershire (UK Parliament constituency)

message: Let's see if we can reconstruct these.
I think all of the Thornbury RDC and Chipping Sodbury RDC were in the area, and these included the Patchway and Filton areas, (as well as, in the north, the Berkeley/Sharpness area). That takes us to the Bristol City boundary. The river Severn bounded the West, and I don't think the area went east of CS RDC. (Kingswood was a separate UDC and constituency.)

message: The listed politicians are not representatives of the alleged Gloucestershire South, these represented persons in the County of Avon, Bristol NW and Northavon.. These parliamentary constituencies were not in Gloucestershire, and did not exist when the County of Avon existed, also they did not exist when Avon was abolished, with South Gloucestershire Unitary authority created to take over part of Avon.
South Gloucestershire and Southern Gloucestershire are not only utterly different geographic areas, but during the era before 1996 the County of Avon was the political (council) area, and multiple MP's were in Avon.

Talk:Haplogroup CF

message: I propose that Haplogroup_CF_(Y-DNA) be merged into Y-Chromosome haplogroups. I think that the content in the Haplogroup_CF_(Y-DNA) article can easily be explained in the context of Y-Chromosome Haplogroups, and the Haplogroups article is of a reasonable size that the merging of this article will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

message: The second paragraph of the lede says However, haplogroup CF has been observed at a low frequency in a small Tai-Kadai population (5%). The paper referenced has a table that shows this appearing to be the case, but there is no mention of it elsewhere in the paper. I don't think this could be basal CF (CF*) since it's not aDNA from a fossil. Could this be a previously undiscovered haplogroup that sprung from CF? Maybe someone who knows more about this could take a look. Zyxwv99 (talk) 21:51, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Ragnall ua Ímair

message: I have corrected this to what it actually was, a stand-off. AU actually describes the Irish army running away back to their camp when Ragnall arrives, and then Niall taking a second position to prevent their slaughter by Ragnall. So the Irish in this case are in the defensive position and Ragnall is free to leave if he chooses, which he eventually does, after twenty days, and returns to Waterford. And this is all in Munster. Meanwhile, Niall sends word to Leinster to come to attempt to besiege either the force of Ragnall, which he is not strong enough himself to engage, or the second force under Sitric. So either Sitric counter attacks a force moving solely against him somewhere else, or he intercepts the Leinstermen on their way to Munster. In either case there is no real siege. Back in Munster Niall is encamped against Ragnall to prevent him going further but they never actually engage. All of this can be checked in AFM. It seems the occasional writer gets confused. DinDraithou (talk) 22:36, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It should probably be mentioned however that some "foreigners" entered Waterford (Loch dá Caech) in 914 (AU 914.5), and when Ragnall first appears here he "moved against the foreigners of Loch dá Chaech" (AU 917.2). So even if Ragnall and Sitric appear to have acted in unison, there where some other Norse players involved in this. Finn Rindahl (talk) 00:36, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely, and this is where the Cogad, which preserves what should be in the Annals of Inisfallen, comes in. We can be certain that these additional forces, at least from 917, were led by Ottir Iarla. There seem to be different interpretations of how Ragnall came to rule there and it may be that he did not have to try very hard. DinDraithou (talk) 02:06, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: And I see you concerning the "foreigners", not so foreign by this time. At the same time the AU notice of Ragnall's death is extraordinary and shows us that no matter how xenophobic the Gaels were, they recognized sovereignty without discrimination. Note no title was given to Sitric until after Ragnall died. DinDraithou (talk) 07:08, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:List of extreme points of China

message: The easternmost point is uncertain. 
The comment in the history for citation needed is:
Based on a layman's look at Google Maps, there are two locations in Fuyuan County which are both really really close to being the easternmost point. The more northern of the two options (at Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island) is part of a formerly(?) disputed area according to this map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Txu-oclc-6614368-nm53-11.jpg 'BOUNDARY IN DISPUTE'. Some kind of official source is needed to confirm which one is the true easternmost point.As recorded in the history comment, a citation is needed.
It is either on the Ussuri at approximately 47°44'09"N 134°46'08"E as recorded in the current article. 
Or it is near the Amur, on a border defined after the Sino-Soviet border conflict, which was finally resolved in a survey in 2008. Google maps shows the border at 48°21'55.5"N 134°46'06.0"E, which would be 2" seconds of arc west of the Ussuri location (~40m).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikhailfranco (talk • contribs) 13:44, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

The Conference expresses its conviction that the execution of the provisions set out in the present declaration and in the agreement on the cessation of hostilities creates the necessary basis for the achievement in the near future of a political settlement in Viet-Nam."
