Talk:Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes (federal electoral district)

message: With regard to these edits:   The article currently states: "In the process, the riding was renamed Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. At 49 characters, this is the longest riding name in Canada." But by my count, Beauport—Côte-de-Beaupré—Île d'Orléans—Charlevoix also has 49 characters (including apostrophes, spaces, and dashes). If we're going to note this trivia (and I'm not saying we should), then (a) let's be sure it's correct — there's a difference between "is the longest" and "is tied for the longest"; (b) also note it on the page for Beauport—Côte-de-Beaupré—Île d'Orléans—Charlevoix; and (c) make an analogous comment on the pages of the federal districts with the shortest names, Vimy (electoral district) and Ajax (electoral district).

message: According to Statistics Canada Kenora (electoral district) has a population of 60,570, whereas Nunavut (electoral district) has a population of 26,745.

Talk:Bibliotheca

message: ...then it needs some work.  I still don't get the force of the phrase "a term that correlates with Bibliothek."  Are we really just saying that the word "Bibliotheca" is similar to the German word "Bibliothek"?  Cause if so, I don't get the point of saying that.  The word for library in Spanish also sounds like that - "Biblioteca" - and this is presumably true in other Romance Languages as well.  Should we mention that?  As far as I can tell, this is just another term for library - sometimes the word "Bibliotheca" is used for big ones.  Is that really all this article says?  It seems pretty much like a dictionary definition to me. -GTBacchus 02:25, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  If it's to be kept... 

message: I think "Bibliotheca" is preferable to "Library", especially when one is considering building institutions and monuments that one wishes to survive as heritage for future generations. But I believe that Bibliotheca is also in the English langauge (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bibliotheca), and that "-theca" is a suffix used in many words (See http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=-theca). WikiSceptic 06:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A suffix used in many words?  Name three.  I don't think there's any doubt that "bibliotheca" is in the English language.  The issue is whether it's anything other than a high-falutin synonym for "library".  I vote it isn't, and that this article should just redirect to library which says as much. -GTBacchus(talk) 19:20, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone ahead and redirected to library. That article already mentions (in fact says more) about the history and similarities to other languages. The linked-to wiktionary page doesn't exist; "Large libraries on college campusses are sometimes called bibliothecas", while perhaps true, is both perhaps unnotable (if it's just "some" that are called such), and unproven/cited; none of the linked "bibliotechas" are college libraries. The list of bibliotechas seems little more than a collection of names that include the word; it includes the latin name of the Vatican Library, a book, a redlink, a project by some national libraries, and Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which is actually a library in Egypt. So I see little need to include it in library. --Mairi 05:06, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sword dance

message: The following sentence:
"Sword dancing is widespread in Iran and Turkey today."
Is factually incorrect. 
Whomever has written that sentence has made various generalisations that lack any foundation. In particular, Arab culture is conflated with the culture of Iran (Persian literature, Persian mythology, Zoroaster, Persian traditional music, Shahnameh, Persian wedding) and the culture of Turkey. Whilst it is accurate to say that both countries - Turkey and Iran - have a very small Arab minority population, it is flat out false and factually inaccurate to say that "sword dancing is widespread in Iran and Turkey today."
This generalisation aside, no sources (which must be in accordance with Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:No original research) are offered.
Therefore, I will be deleting the false and misleading sentence. Neutral Observer (talk) 16:34, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Directory Services Markup Language

message: On the apparent off-chance that anybody reads this, here's the lowdown:
User:217.185.213.231 created the article Directory Service Markup Language with the content of this revision in an attempt to "move" the page. I requested that that article be deleted so that this article could be moved to that name with the history preserved. Either a) I'm wrong in what I'm trying to do or b) I have not communicated it clearly enough, because all sorts of interesting things have happened to this page in the meantime.
What needs to happen:
# Move (using the actual move feature) this article (DSML) to Directory Service Markup Language. (I'm assuming I cannot do thus until Directory Service Markup Language is actually deleted.)
# Make the contents of this page a disambiguation page for the acronym DSML as the original anon did in this revision.

replies: text: ""In his 1999 book The Triumph of the Moon, Ronald Hutton researched the claim that ancient pagan customs have survived into modern times after being Christianised in medieval times as folk practices. Hutton found that most of the folk customs which are claimed to have pagan roots (such as the Maypole dance) actually date from the Middle Ages. He concluded that the idea that medieval revels were pagan in origin is a legacy of the Protestant Reformation.""  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.142.128 (talk) 05:57, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Portugal? Heilige Kuh, what are they smoking?
I lived my entire life in Portugal, explored just about every major city and even a few dozen villages, making damn sure I picked the most backwater roads possible, so as to cycle in non-polluted, low-traffic areas. I never saw any Maibaum. I don't know how to translate it. I had only vaguely heard of something like a Maypole in the context of England, before coming to Bavaria.
I can only think of the "pelourinhos" which are short stone poles to which prisoners were strapped while being flogged, we certainly have a lot of those, but no surrounding tradition or festivity that I can think of.

Talk:Mohinder Amarnath

message: Gideon Haigh
:Haigh quotes the popular story that, at Bridgetown 1982-83, after returning from injury, Amarnath hit the first ball for six. Whether it really went for six needs some investigation. Too many sources don't mention him hitting any six in this innings to raise the possibility that this could be an urban legend. Tintin (talk) 05:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hello Tintin, I am the one who put in the bit about Amarnath hitting the six. I had heard about the incident before, and did some research which led to finding Haigh's article. On that basis I decided to include it. I did further research today, and found the scoreboard for the match http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1980S/1982-83/IND_IN_WI/IND_WI_T4_15-20APR1983.html If Amarnath had hit no sixes during this match then it would obviously be a contradiction. However he did hit 3 sixes in the first innings (and none in the second), so we have weak positive evidence (besides Haigh's article). Of course one way to confirm would be to ask Amarnath himself! Jayanta Sen 16:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But he retired hurt in the second innings, not the first (see the note below the scores). At the same time, the scorecard is missing details about most of the boundary hits - so we cannot be sure either way. I'll  add some quotes tomorrow about this innings from an old Wisden Cricket Asia, one by Rajan Bala (who reported the match from WI) and the other Harsha Bhogle who quoted Amarnath. Both mention the bouncer, that Amarnath hooked it to the boundary, but neither mention specifically that it was a six. It is a little strange because if it did go over the fence, that's first thing that you would say when you talk about the innings. Tintin (talk) 16:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
