thread_title:  famous example 

message: Some of this article's content (specifically, the characterization of the cadence of anapaests as "galloping," itself an allusion to an anapaestic Tennyson poem, as well as the illustrative examples from Byron and A Visit From St. Nicholas) seems manifestly to have been derived from a book called The Ode Less Travelled by Stephen Fry. Unless the author of those sections of the article can provide some other source(s) for the material, I'll update the article with a citation to the aforementioned book.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gestrin (talk • contribs) 22:38, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sourcing 

message: The article makes a strange claim.
:The English word anapaest (when pronounced ) is itself an anapaest (and hence autological). The Greek and Latin words ἀνάπαιστος and anapaestus only start as anapaests.
Even the pronunciation given clearly shows the stress on the first syllable, making it a dactyl, not an anapaest. And the comment about the Greek and Latin words are not really notable. I'm removing this paragraph. Feel free to restore it if there's another pronunciation I don't know about.
::Sorry, I forgot to sign my previous comment. -WurdBendur (talk) 02:01, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  IPA transcriptions may provide a useful standard representation of the sounds of words, but stress patterns vary between dialects and regional variations of the same language.  Ie. What sounds like a stressed syllable to many millions of English speakers may sound unstressed to many millions of others.  Also, anapest is primarily a prosodic term and given that the stressed/unstressed parts of words in poetry are often influenced by surrounding structure (anapestic feet can fall across multiple words and include parts of words for example) I find the sentence unhelpful. ~ Ljredux (talk) 16:44, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Ecclesiastical court

message: Um... could someone knowledgeable in this subject rewrite the second paragraph:
:It is important to note, however, that the above reference is to a book published in the early 1900s. In 1917 the first fully codified Code of Canon Law was issued (courts worked on decretal and precedent law before that), and a total revision of that was published in 1983, so monumental changes have taken place in procedure and statute since the above article at New Advent was written
It isn't at all clear to me what it is talking about, (what "book published in the early 1900s"? what is "New Advent"?). Further, it is self-referencing the article, (discussing the accuracy of the first paragraph). If there is something wrong with the first paragraph, then it should be rewritten. Thanks, func(talk) 18:04, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I think this very important page is in need of a history section, which addresses the changes in jurisdictional scope and struggles of over ecclesiastical courts over history, especially from Reformation through modern secularization. When, and under what historical contexts, ecclesiastical courts ceased to exercise jurisdiction over the laity is important. Also early modern struggles regarding autonomy of cannon law versus the subordination of ecclesiastical jurisprudence to civil authority. 
Also,what about the church courts of presbyterian Scotland? 
And in in general, it might be useful to touch on the fate of cannon law and ecclesiastical courts in other Protestant countries: in many cases elements of cannon law were maintained or blending with civil adjudication, in others the claims of pre-reformation church courts gave way to the state or civil law.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.132.21.77 (talk) 17:47, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed! This article suffers a bad case of presentism. The lead does say " In the Middle Ages in many areas of Europe these courts had much wider powers than before the development of nation states.", but this thought isn't developed at all. Also, characterizing Ecclesiastical courts as "having jurisdiction mainly in spiritual or religious matters" is not very helpful, because different legal systems draw the line between religious and non-religious matters in different places. For example, family law (marriage, divorce, etc.) in some jurisdictions are considered religious matters. Under the Ottoman Empire, each religious community had its own courts, even for common crimes. etc. --Macrakis (talk) 17:09, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I'm not at all sure that the article is correct in conflating press kit with media kit.

which reads: "This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit"
But if there is some other way that someone can research on Wikipedia what would qualify as a "press kit" then it would seem reasonable to eliminate this. However, I don't see how it is a Dictionary term. Chris 21:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Slop bowl

message: The links are broken, text I deleted follows in case any one wants to check its accuracy:
tea drinkers emptied their undrunk, cold tea into the slop bowl before refilling their cups with fresh, hot tea. It is generally believed that before teapots became a standard item tea was made by pouring hot water directly in the cups with the dish as a small lid while brewing. When you were finished drinking you poured the leafs into one of these bowls. They were anyway a standard part of the early tea sets. Some people would date it back to before 1730.

Talk:Estonian mythology

message: Does anyone but on of the authors of this and some neighbouring pages use the ethnonym "Setonian"? I have received the impression that Seto is good enough (I think ethnic Seto tend to use this when writing in English). The Wikipedia article on the Setos is entitled "Setos", not "Setonians". 
Besides: Google reveals that The Setonian is a tri-weekly newspaper published by the students of Seton Hill. Similar confusions with things referring to people or places called Seton may occur. 
I have so far tolerated "Setonia" as a Latinisation of "Setomaa". (It has also been used as a name of a student firm founded by students of Verska High School.) But still, I think it is best avoided in the future (again some confusions with the same Seton Hall University are predictable). Ohpuu 11:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
