Talk:Close back compressed vowel

message: In the same way that the mid vowels have been merged into the close-mid articles as seperate sections, I think that the article on the close back compressed vowel should be merged with either the article on close back unrounded vowel or close back rounded vowel.  I understand that there are languages that contrast all three, and that the compressed vowel is certainly distinct phonetically, but the tendency on Wikipedia is to not have distinct pages for sounds or features not readily represented in the IPA without diacritics.  Another example is the alveolar fricatives: even though languages like Basque make a contrast between laminal alveolar and apical alveolar, they are all on one page (albeit in different sections).

Talk:Der Blatt

message: NOTE The discussion in this section was moved together with the article from the previous heading, "Der Blat".
The masthead of this publication uses the form Der Blatt, and that is also clearly the one most commonly used for Net-based references to it. Google reports 38,000 hits for "Der Blatt" but only 625 for "Der Blat". It is also accepted bibliographic practice to use the romanized form of a Yiddish title that is provided by the publisher in preference to any other transliteration. Therefore, although "der blat" is correct according to the YIVO rules, the masthead "Der Blatt" is the proper alternative for any purpose of bibliographic control, such as library cataloguing or encyclopedic reference. It is also somewhat ironic to see the YIVO alternative being used, nonetheless, for a publication that itself pays little heed to the YIVO rules. I would therefore like to suggest that this article be moved to the other heading. -- Futhark|Talk 11:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Dada Lekhraj

message: Given the UN article got merged away, I thought a similar fate might be appropriate here. Most of the RS I've consulted estimates the 2 founders of the group only had a membership of 1000 at the most in 1969 when the 2nd founder died. So given it was like a local football club at that time, it makes more sense to me for there to be a separate article on this 'Dadi Prakashmani' or one of the women who really grew the organisation. Does anyone have any thoughts/concerns about me putting forward deletion for this article - just total lack of Notability would be my reasoning. The article also has a few factual errors and doesn't seem to add anything much to the main article - at best there could be a section for the founders, Mr Lekhraj and Ms Pokardas in the main article?

message: There appear to be many instances of internal and self contradiction. For example, the legal case against Om Mandali started on 18 January 1939. After that legal and social pressure began increasing on Om Mandali. However, the corrective action came in 1908, as the following sentence demonstrates:
Finally, the Sindh Government used the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1908 to declare the Om Mandali as an unlawful association.
Would somebody clarify this please?

Talk:Columbia Island (Washington, D.C.)

message: The Secretary of the Interior seems to have "renamed" Columbia Island to "Lady Bird Johnson Park" in 1968.  But even the National Park Service has some references to "Columbia Island" (such as "Columbia Island Marina ) and it is probably more common, so I made no effort to change the article name.  If the island had been renamed "Lady Bird Johnson Island" perhaps it would be different.
Anyway, as the island and the park are coterminous, it seems right to have just one article for both, for now. — Eoghanacht talk 14:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  examples without copula 

message: Are hordes of readers crashing Wikipedia's gates to find out when ECM was coined as a linguistic term of art, who coined it, or how it relates to accusativus cum infinitivo constructions of Latin? Funny, I don't see any. Editing hints:
# The lead paragraph is full of trivia that belongs in a History section. 
# The bolded elements in the first set of examples needs simpler explanations vis-à-vis causative verbs. 
# The bolded elements of the initial two examples in the second set of examples are merely nominal clauses. (The third example in that set is an archaic construction and barely worth inclusion.)
# There's no mention that an ECM relates solely to English and, by contemporary linguistic standards, has been outmoded by terminology that is more easily translatable and inter-linguistically applicable. 
I'll resist saying that an ECM is, fundamentally speaking, Chomsky's concise way of saying, "Here are some instances of syntax containing verbs that I can't quite explain using a traditional linguistic approach. They are cases marked by extraordinary circumstances. I'll call them extraordinary exceptional case-marking." --Kent Dominic·(talk) 10:27, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Whoever added [citation needed] is perfectly correct, and I've been trying to find the original source, without success. My guess is that it is in THE METABOLISM OF NITROGEN IN SOIL, QUASTEL, JH, Endeavour 6(23), pp. 129–134 (1947), but I can't add a reference just on the basis of a guess, and I haven't been able to get access to the article in Endeavour.

As discussed in the AfD, I determined that claim to be false, though I do wonder on what basis the claim was made -- there was probably something behind it, I suspect, because in researching the issue I saw chains made competing claims for many things regarding their theatres in the 80s-90s)  In fixing up some of the links to the article today, I added a link re the opening of a 14 screen theatre in the L.A. area in 1982.  12 screens was still fairly large in 1987, however.--Milowent (talk) 14:54, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

It seems to me that titles mentioned in their original language should use the rules for that language. User:Kubek15 fixed the Czech version, and I fixed the English version. Is this what you mean? --Milkbreath (talk) 15:41, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have been unable to find any guidance in the MoS or elsewhere in Wikipedia about capitalization in titles of foreign songs. The real-world stylebooks do it my way, and my own common sense tells me that if we are going to italicize and use all the diacritics, we should follow the capitalization convention, too. Italicization means "this is a foreign word"; the title italicized is not English, so it is exempt from our rules and should follow its own. Also "Jožin z bažin" is the title, and "Jožin z Bažin" is not.  --Milkbreath (talk) 23:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Following its source the original photograph is entitled "Miss Buss and Mrs Bryant" only, and it appears to come from a publication entitled "Frances Mary Buss Schools' Jubilee Record, London: Swan Sonnenschein, 1900", implying that the undated photograph comes from a book published in 1900 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the School in 1850.
