message: I've added a huge list of terms to the cricket terminology page. I found it difficult to express the terms "length" and "fine", so corrections are needed.

:Fine - I see that you have taken out my rather dumbed-down introductory paragraph.  I am not particularly attached to the text, which overlaps with the section entitled "Objective" anyway, but there have been several requests for a broad overview of how it all works (admittedly rather difficult without using cricket terminology) so I think something like it needs to appear in the first section (perhaps the "Objective" section should be renamed "Overview").  I look forward to seeing what you produce :) -- ALoan (Talk) 22:09, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

: "The 45" or "on the 45" refers to being at a 45-degree angle, usually behind square on the leg side.  It's considerably finer than backward square-leg. Hig Hertenfleurst 20:37, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Text from before page move

message: Sanskrit sumeru is from su-meru, i.e. refers to Mt. Meru. Somehow this apparently came to mean North Pole in Hindi (?). Sumer is unrelated. Whatever Tilak intended to say should be discussed on his article, I suppose. A Sumerian origin of the Vedas is still pure kookery, of course, but not quite as insane as the North Pole. To the best of my knowledge, Tilak did argue for an arctic origin of the Aryans (this ties in with Nordic theory and what not), but maybe somebody can check out Tilak's precise statement. dab (ᛏ) 11:35, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm a little uncertain about the above quote for the following reasons:  
* A lot of work copes pretty well with semi-classical models. 
* The second part ("is usually concerned with electrons") is a bit unclear.  Phonons are a good example of Solid-State Physics, not concerned with electrons.

I think it's not really accurate to say the Liberals were elected in Edmonton Castle Downs, only to have the election 'changed.' There was only one vote. People didn't vote again and change their minds afterward. The recounts are part of the process, and when all was said and done, the Tories came out with more votes in that riding.

Talk:Southern Kurdistan

message: Calling the area "Southern Kurdistan" instead of, say, Iraqi Kurdistan is a point of view that pushes for independence of a certain Kurdistan country from Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. This is clearly non-NPOV. roozbeh 12:41, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)
:IMHO it is not non-NPOV. "Southern" is geographically correct and does not automatically imply a tendency towards political independence. Erdal Ronahi
I agree with Erdal Ronahi. It is certainly possible to speak of a Southern Kurdistan without insisting on independence or any other political project. Compare the provinces of France, which are geo-cultural regions without any administrative character. I do agree we should try to keep this article from being merely Kurdish nationalist propaganda, but the fact is that Southern Kurdistan is a real place. QuartierLatin1968 01:14, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"Quite" is ambiguous: does it mean "fairly" or "utterly"? In either case, I would say this adverb is redundant: if it is "fairly obsolete" then it should be described as obsolescent or dated; if it is "utterly obsolete", then it is simply obsolete. No qualifying adverb is necessary in either case. — Paul G 08:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
