Talk:Yeren

message: Yeah, hmm, not really sure about these tone markings. Including them for the Maos, dynasties, Hubei for instance is extremely awkward. What in the world is the "Táng Dynasty" anyways?—the pinyin is Tángcháo, so no one would ever say "Táng Dynasty". Not a huge deal, but the whole thing seems uncalled for, would suggest normalizing throughout. Aza24 (talk) 05:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Cháo functions as the word dynasty; for example, Qing Dynasty is Qīng cháo, and the Yuan Dynasty is Yuán cháo. Saying Tángcháo Dynasty would be a tautology   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  00:09, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No I'm not suggesting you put "Tángcháo Dynasty". What I mean is, saying "Táng Dynasty" makes it look like you're trying to use the pinyin, but the pinyin is just "Tángcháo" so there's now just a weird hybrid of pinyin and normal Latin characters. I've never seen modern English literature that includes the tone markings on things like the Tang dynasty or Hubei; names and works might be a different story. Aza24 (talk) 04:46, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Anybody who has listened to the show when Lovejoy is hosting will know that this is a continual bone of contention and that many many listeners have rung in to comment on it.

Talk:Happy Station Show

message: I added some material from the "Radio Netherlands" page. BTW, there may have been seperate English and Spanish versions, but I clearly remember listening to the shows with Tom Meyer switching back and forth between English, Spanish, and Dutch that I listened to in the '70s. (I never did learn any Dutch from it though, unfortunately.) That was my favorite show. -- Infrogmation 15:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I note that the first external link spells the last name of the show's second host as "Meyer", while on the second we see "Meijer". Anyone have a definitive word on this? -- Infrogmation 16:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Meijer" is the way Tom's name is actually spelled, in Dutch.  During his years on the show, he spelled it "Meyer" because he thought it easier for international audiences to remember (and pronounce).  Since retiring from Radio Netherlands, however, he has used the Dutch spelling exclusively. gar in Oakland 01:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It was perhaps in 1966 or 1967 that I first heard Eddie's voice on 6+++kHz on an old Bakelite cased 'Ekco' valve radio that my late father & I managed to coax back into life.
Many years later, awoken by the sound of the 'Carillon' interval signal, my Sunday morning was still enlightened by Tom Meijer and his eclectic mix of music and news, although I'm not sure I was a great fan of Tom's singing voice! 
A silent figure in the background during Tom's stewardship of the programme was 'Happy Station Jean' (Van Veen?)
I would like to see more references within these pages to the background staff who contributed to the success and popularity of this programme over the years.

Talk:Lumpy the cook

message: Lumpy is his own character. There is too much detail in King Kong characters to merge them all into a single article. Lumpy has a history stretching back before the film, which can be added here. Characters in other sections are not merged, so let's be consistent. If all the info of a section like King Kong is put on one page, it will need cleanup. I say we keep the page. Fuzzibloke 15:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I disagree with the deletion proposal - the codec is a major part of the series' gameplay and background. If there are pages dedicated to the MJOLNIR suit of the Halo series or the weaponry of the Crusader series, to name a few examples, why is a page dedicated to one of the distinctive technologies of the MGS series viewed as superfluous?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.91.144.3 (talk • contribs) 
I prodded this article for a number of reasons:
# The 2nd paragraph is complete speculation (see WP:OR)
# The 3rd paragraph isn't even about the codec but rather that a radio replaces its function in MGS3. 
# The last 2 paragraphs are just about interesting things you can do on the codec screen (or radio screen since it switches back and forth from MGS 2& MGS3)that is more suited for a MGS or game wiki. It is interesting? Yes, for MGS players. Is it suited for an encyclopedia? No. Wikipedia is not a [guide].
#Cutting away all the things that shouldn't be in a wikipedia article, we are left with only this to say about a codec: It is a fictional radio communication device that is used in MGS series as a device to save the game, give the player info, and  move the story along. 
All you need is a paragraph at most explaining what a codec is to someone who has never played the game (keep in mind this who we are writing for; people who already have played MGS know what a codec is). We don't an entire article dedicated to this. --Mitaphane talk 01:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Water Festival

message: I thought what is more commonly called the "water festival" (bon om tuk in Khmer) usually takes place in November?  for example, see Public holidays in Cambodia
the current "water festival" article initially states in the first sentence, that these festivities (which usually include boat races) usually take place in November, not on the April new year.  I believe it is thus separate and distinct from the "water throwing" traditions that are part of new year celebrations.
therefore, I suggest that this article be rewritten — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.19.191 (talk) 15:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: :"A style line is a boundary between two distinguishable areas of fabric"
Compare Neckline:
:"The neckline is primarily a style line, but it can also be a boundary for shaping"
Necklines tend to be edges of the garment.  In other words, a neckline isn't a boundary between two distinguishable areas of the garment, but between the garment and a part of the body not covered by it.  A similar concept is where and how a sleeve ends.
Which is the correct definition? -- Smjg 20:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry about that, Stewart, I should've been more careful.  As I understand it, "style line" is a general term that includes fabric boundaries such as the neckline and hemline.  However, it's often used in a specialized sense as a "purely cosmetic fashion line"; in that case, it signifies only the boundary between two fabric areas.  Does that makes sense?  Thanks for catching that; mathematicians are wonderfully scrupulous about definitions! :) Please let me know if it's fixed up OK, Willow 16:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
