replies: text: Sorry, I meant in general; I corrected about the "closest cities". Saulkrasti has city rights (pilsētas tiesības) but I'm not sure why enWiki calls all Latvian cities towns. Although it seems to be the same thing: "In Latvia, towns and cities are indiscriminately called pilsēta in singular form." from Town. So I guess consistency. Then again, noone calls Rīga or Liepāja towns. I'm thinking this needs to be brought up on the WPLV.—  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 23:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: At one point a wiki user changed most Latvian "cities" to towns since many Latvian "cities" only has a couple of thousand residents. A city normally has a downtown or similar, which is difficult when the "city" perhaps just takes a couple of minutes to drive through. Talk/♥фĩłдωəß♥\Work 04:41, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It is just strange that we call one city "city" and other city "town" because of some subjective measure of its size. In Latvian they are all called the same. I suppose the state cities can be called "city" and other cities "towns". Should probably bring at least this up on WPLV. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 09:57, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps we call one town "city" and another town "town"? — Nah, just kidding. ;o) In Latvian they are both called the same, which is quite a strange rationale to use. Jauns in English means both new and young, but "young potatoes" and "new daughter" does sound wrong. It is about semantics. A highway intersection with some buildings around it is not a city, and it is not called Old City Riga — it is old town Riga, since Riga has grown quite a bit since then to a city.

Talk:Pumpkinseed

message: I just completed a minor re-write, adding wikification and changing some sentences around to improve flow. I removed a couple of sentences about kiv-land, kiv-mania and kiver/kivver that had been added by an anonymous editor in July of 2006. I searched those terms in several dictionaries and on both Google and Yahoo! and found nothing to suggest that those terms exist, much less are notable. The only hit to "kiv-mania" is to this article. The only hit to "kivver" is someone's fishing pictures page where he shows his dad holding up some kind of fish. In any case, if someone can suggest why that stuff about kivver/kiver/kiv-land/kiv-mania is notable, have at 'er and put it back in. Be my guest. — Dave (Talk | contribs) 13:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ehsan ul Haq

message: Well I started the article, as I deemed this general to be important. He is one of the Musharraf's boys, who continued to support him throughout his tenure. He was also the head of ISI in the time of crisis (when ISI was blamed for supporting insurgency in Kashmir, arming the Taliban, and even nuclear proliferation). So I would say that General Ehsan should be given some credit of "cleaning up" the ISI, which of course is debatable, as to did he succeed or not. Razzsic 14:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lihyan

message: No, I don't think merging is a good idea. It would be somewhat like merging the city of Rome with the Roman Empire. Al-`Ula is the town that probably emerged in the 13th century on or better near the ruins of the old capital of Dedan and Lihyan. Lihyan itself is possibly more the name of a dynasty and Kingdom, while Dedan, or "DDN", seems to be the name of the place now called Al-Khuraiba (if theses ruins that have escaped destruction where the center of the settlement) which can be considered within the extant of the modern town of Al-Ula. While the "Lihyanite" cultur, language/script and kingdom seem to have evolved without much of a break out of the "dedanite" cultur, language/script and "political entity" (an elective city-state kingdom at some time?) there seems to be quite a large break until the middle ages. I hope I made this clear in the Al-Ula article. I admit there is much confusion among the articles for Dedan, Lihyan, Al-Ula and Mada'in Saleh and as far as I am concerned there is to much Bible info in the Dedan article as there is to much Koran info in the Mada'in Saleh article. Although I would rather isolate it within the articles into chapters of their own and add more information from nonreligious sources that is if any is to be found. I do have plans to add more to the related articles correcting them along the way but I'm slow and in great need of reliable sources worth citing. --T.woelk (talk) 11:47, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it possible that "selenite" is a mistranslation? This mineral is very soft, has low tensile strength, and is severely damaged by running water; further, although small crystals are very common, pieces large enough for masonry are rare.

Talk:Yusaf Khan (general)

message: The reason I started this stub is because even though this general is not in the regular reading of foreign papers, his name is still mentioned in the events of October 2001, an occasion of Pakistani foreign policy u-turn (siding with the US at the cost of Taliban). He was given this post because of his not-so-fundamentalist views about the Taliban or other terrorist groups, as opposed to the general he replaced. Razzsic 15:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I found differing information regarding the co-directors (i.e. directors listed for varying numbers of episodes, other than Sidney Hayers, who apparently was the "major" one) and script writers: if you compare what is written at the "Internet Movie Database" (  ) and at "Television Heaven"  , it looks confusing and you wonder whom to trust (more), when conflicting pieces of information are given.

Category talk:Explorers of Australia

message: There are some entries in this category that would not normally be considered as 'Explorers of Australia'.  Some, such as the entries for Robyn Davidson and for David Noble (canyoner), should really be classified as 'Adventurers of Australia', an as yet non-existent category, but perhaps a necessary one. Others, such as the entry for Robert D. FitzGerald do not seem to fit this category at all.

Talk:Western Lombard dialects

message: "real" Lombard dialect is NOT AT all mutually intelligible with italian; no more than Italian and French language are (it is a fact that Western Lombard dialects are much more similar to French than to Italian.
Not only a mother tongue italian from another part of Italy will have dire difficulties in understanding a Lombard talking his dialect; also many young people from Lombardia are unable to properly understand their grandparents.
I would challenge anyone arguing the opposite to listen to a stage play performed by "I Legnanesi" (a troupe performing their piece in "real" Lombard dialect).
Please do no reverse the change...
Dave4mame (talk)
:I agree; it is important to recognise that in such situations of diglossia (bilingualism between relatively closely related languages), there is actually a continuum according to the acrolect – mesolect – basilect schema, and outsiders are likely to confuse "compromise" forms which are in the middle between the extremes of "bookish" Standard Italian and "broad" dialect – such as forms of Standard Italian strongly coloured by Lombard, or varieties of Lombard heavily influenced by Standard Italian (especially in the big cities!) – with "genuine" Lombard. The same sort of continuum could conceivably exist with isolated communities speaking forms of Occitan, Franco-Provençal or Ligurian etc. in the south, which are radically and obviously different from surrounding dialects, or with Sardinian, Ladin, Friulian etc., in that there are "intermediate" forms (regional Standard Italian) or "milder" forms of the non-Italian idiom, strongly influenced by Standard Italian in lexicon and other aspects. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 11:25, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

desinence (plural desinences)
1.(linguistics) A suffix used as an inflection; an ending.

I cannot find adesinential in any online dictionary.  But, I don't want to assume if desinence is a suffex then adesinential is a prefix, because Ippolita is famine and Ippolito is masculine and both are "Lombardi an."  This is a he/rstorical problem.

Talk:Battle of Cambrai (1918)

message: This is terrible. Almost entirely Canadian pov; second and third sentences of second par badly expressed, bad grammar, and hard to understand; "hurricane bombardment" produced by artillery,  not tanks. And so on. A Canadian being wounded in a WWI battle is not notable (I hadn't heard of him, but I guessed he would be Canadian). On the basis that people go to Wikipedia for knowledge, and there is very little here, I'm removing the substandard parts. No information is better than bad information in a case like this. When time permits, I'll replace it with something more fitting.
And it makes no sense to point to the (first) Battle of Cambrai (1917) article describing it as "the first major tank offensive" when the article on 1917 explains that it was no such thing. Hengistmate (talk) 23:48, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
