Talk:Menteith

message: "From Caledonia to Pictland: Scotland to 795" by James Fraser, (p.16) tells that 'Cassius Dio' in 197 AD accused the Calidones of conspiring 'to aid the Maiati' and that he provides an indication of their location. 'next to the cross-wall that cuts the island in half'. Fraser gives the placenames: "Dumyat hill, where the Ochil Hills come nearest Stirling, and Myothill west of Falkirk above Carron." Identifing the 'Maiati'with the "Early Historic district of Manau".
Would Maiati/Manau be associate with Menteith?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.1.234.165 (talk) 14:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Menteith from the people of Maiati / Manau? 

message: The claim made here is ridiculous. Menteith was at the time a near impassable lowland bog. To suggest a derivation from "mynydd" can only have been done by someone with no knowledge of the Geography. The previous (introductory) section is at variance with the page on the river Teith.  Dwelly does not recognise the form "Teadhaich" (accented or otherwise). So as usual the so-called Gaelic is inauthentic. This is the sort of thing which brings Wikipedia into disrepute.

thread_title:  Order of lists in the article 

message: Since there seems to be some disagreement between which hand does the squeezing, I've changed it to the neutral "Using the fingers of one hand, the air is squeezed ...".I always squeeze with my dominant hand (right hand), which makes sense to me since it has to do most of the work.  I thought this was what most manualists did.  If you're a manualist that squeezes with the non-dominant hand (the left hand if you're right handed, and vice versa), please post here.  You can't tell just by watching a video if a manualist is right-handed or left handed, so I'm looking for better references.

thread_title:  Dominant hand vs. non-dominant hand 

message: Ahh... I see now. Sorry about that. I think the lack of a proper reference section (i.e. 1,2,3 etc. with the caret ^ ) led me to think these were just put there by random manualists and/or their supporters. Next time I shall try to be more careful, reading the article in much greater detail to see how those videos are relevant and not advertising. Good catch, and thanks Mr. Wilson and the rest for making wikipedia better.

thread_title:  References and Videos 

message: i must digress over the statement in the introduction quote:
"Playing recognizable tunes by squeezing the hands together is extremely difficult, and it takes many years of practice to master the art [1]. Some manualists practice for as much as 30 years before finally reaching a presentable level of proficiency."
I have been playing for 2 years, but i could produce a sound at 1 week and notes in 2 months. It is not as difficult as the article describes. I am performing for my school now and can confirm my ability readily, in 1/15th the amount of time as the article says it it is possible. i am just waiting for someone to back me up. anyone else disagree with the quoted statement?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ne0pets22 (talk • contribs) 05:59, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Heris, East Azerbaijan

message: Dr. Blofeld supplied coordinates of 38°0′N 45°57′E, and there is a settlement at that location (Flashearth 37°59'38" N 45°57'28" E); however, that village is not in the rug weaving area near Sarab and Ahar, it is west of Tabriz and appears to be in :Shabestar County.  Fallingrain.com, Flashearth and Google Earth offer the following two choices in East Azarbaijan Province for the rug weaving center, they both appear to be about the same size:
*the Heris south of :Ahar - 38°14'48" N 47°06'14" E , elevation 1879 m. (Flashearth gives 38°14'00" N 47°06'59" E) (Google Earth 38°14'47" N 47°07'02" E , elevation 1884-1920 m.)

Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misprision_of_treason : "It is punishable by imprisonment for life. It used also to be punished by forfeiture but that is probably no longer the case in England and Wales." ?

To ensure myself I'm not talking bollocks, I've just checked with Werner (the article listed under further reading) and McKitterick (Charlemagne, pp. 218, 222).
