Talk:Utica, New York

message: Are we sure this name was in the Mohawk language and not the Oneida language? The Thomas source just says  which doesn't specify which Iroquois tribe or language. The Hauptman source doesn't say which language either but mentions it in a chapter solely about the Oneidas. The maps on Iroquois seem to put Utica in Oneida territory, although the city isn't placed on the maps and I don't think firm boundaries existed back then. Apocheir (talk) 04:43, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, the Mohawk words I've seen for Utica are either iotékha (it’s on fire), or niionontatá:se (it twisted the mountain). It is technically Oneida territory, from the maps of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy that are available. And if Unundadages is the Oneida word then don't call it Mohawk. Nevermiand.

thread_title:  Unundadages 

message: A decent page could probably be written about East Utica, but this isn't it. It totally fails to define what part of Utica is "East Utica" and confuses the neighborhood with the Italian-American community in Utica at large. Most of the references are non-specific or lack page numbers, making it hard to verify or determine intent. Recommend merging. Apocheir (talk) 17:22, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Keep: Agree that the East Utica page needs work. I'd suggest giving it a year or so. If no progress is made to address the deficiencies you correctly identify, then a renomination for merging is warranted and deserving of full support.  Keystone18 (talk) 20:08, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Dumbing down

message: The first and part of the second paragraph of the Mass Communications Media section are POV and unsourced:
"Increased business competition and the introduction of econometric methods changed the business practices of the mass communications media. The business monopoly practice of media consolidation reduced the breadth and the depth of the journalism practiced and provided for the information of the public. The reduction of operating costs (overhead expenses) eliminated foreign news bureaus and reporters, in favour of presenting the public relations publications (news releases) of governments, businesses, and political parties as fact.
Refinements in measurement of approval ratings and audience size increased the incentive for journalists and TV producers to write simplistic material, diminishing the intellectual complexity of the argument presented, usually at the expense of factual accuracy and rationality."
How should they be neutralized?

Well, an ono is pretty much just a "basic normal axe".  It's pretty much a peasants' tool and there isn't a particular craftsmanship associated with it, and no special interest of it for neither its historical or artistic value in and out of Japan.

Talk:Ruyi Jingu Bang

message: It sounds like inconsiderate national jingoism on behalf of the Japanese to say something like they have a "predecessor" of Journey to the West, even going so far to say it dates back to the 13th century. 
I thought Journey to the West is published in 16th century?
To answer your question, the novel that was written by Wu Cheng'en was published in 1592. 
Journey to the West is the culmination of an oral storytelling and literary cycle revolving around the pilgrimage of Xuanzang to India and Monkey Pilgrim/Monkey King. There are two main printed narratives that we have that predate the 1592 novel Journey to the West.
The first is a 13th century novelette "The Story of How the Monk Tripitaka of the Great Country of Tang Brought back the Sutras" (Datang Sanzang qujing shihua, 大唐三藏取經詩話), which can be found in English in The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Chinese Literature (edited by Victor H. Mair, Copyright © 1994 Columbia University Press; pg. 1181-1207). It is often called the Kōzanji version because, as Note 6 says, two editions are mentioned in a 1633 catalog held by said temple, alerting scholars to the novelette’s existence. It is the oldest printed version of the cycle that we have.
The second is the early-Ming zaju play Journey to the West Zaju (Xiyou ji zaju, 西遊記雜劇). An English summary and discussion can be found Ning’s (1986) Comic Elements in the Xiyouji Zaju. It is also discussed in Dunbridge’s The Hsi-yu chi: A Study of Antecedents to the Sixteenth-Century Chinese Novel(Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press. 1970.)
Here are links to both in Chinese:

message: Can anyone clarify whether the JinguBang was actually supporting something like a pillar normally would, or is it just called a pillar only because of its shape, not its function? I thought the latter was the case, being stuck in the bottom of the sea, used to be used by the deity Bangu to measure the depth of floods and roll the lands flat.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.64.166.224 (talk) 16:39, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't support anything. It is just described as a pillar (I've suggested elsewhere that this could have been based on the famous Delhi Iron Pillar).

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of people on stamps of Kionga

message: *Assuming that the list of countries exist and anybody can contribute, I dont understand why such discussion on the votes for deletion.This page is no diferent from the Oltre Giuba list which is on Wikipedia a long ago.
If it is trivial is because Kionga issued only 4 stamps with the same figure. With this I can do nothing more then list the content of the country in the same principals of other existing lists.
And sometimes what is trivial for someone maybe important for another one.
As for merge this list on Portuguese colonies category in the same way of Australia, I dont see any logical reason for that.French colonies, British colonies are listed separately.Why not the same for Portuguese colonies?Are they different from the others?
Most of French ,British and Portuguese colonies are now independent countries.Should them be listed under the colonizer country?

Talk:Anton

message: We have notice that several names of God keep  getting deleted WE wonder who keeps doing this. It is very helpful to have all the information that various people from different regions provide about different names of God so that this can be one of the most cutting edge encyclopedias with all the possible names for God. Someone has a real problem with the name of God being Anton which is fine but you do not have the right to decide for everyone else if we do not want to know about this information. Any name of God is a Faith issue so if you believe it fine if not don't censor the encyclopedia for everyone else on the planet earth because you personally feel you have the right to decide what information is or is not available to every person on the planet. 
It is times like this when we wish that Wikipedia did not allow such bordering on censorship editing.

message: "The cockpit was located very far aft, just in front of the vertical stabilizer, in order to give the racing pilot better vision while making crowded pylon turns. "
Not even sure how that works - why does the pilot need to see straight down during pylon turns? Wouldn't ahead and down be more important, and "up" be the most important? In any case I was under the impression that the cockpit was located there because the fuselage was tiny, the engine big, and the only place left to put the cockpit after fitting the fuel and oil tanks in behind the engine was back in the fuselage. This is a very small plane, and putting the fuel tanks in the rear fuselage wouldn't be a good idea. You also want the pilot as far from the heat and vibration of the engine as you can. Maybe good visibility was a side effect but I don't think they put the pilot there just because of that.
