Talk:Taguchi Ukichi

message: I'm sorry that I do not know which writer or which article/book coined the idea of comparing Taguchi to Adam Smith. But as weasely as it may be to say "sometimes referred to..." or "some scholars...", it doesn't make it any less true. Some scholars do say this. He is in fact sometimes compared to Adam Smith. I just can't provide the one canonical original reference. LordAmeth 22:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Emanuel Galea

message: Emanuel Galea was one the best loved Maltese Bishops.  In 1969 he was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit.  At that time I was the Secretary of the Award Committee  (See Medal of Merit - Malta).  The committee always carried out detailed study of the recipients and the task of compiling their biographies always fell to me.  Therefore it is obvious that both the Zejtun Wed-page and myself used the same sources.  Apart from that I used to know Mgr Galea personally and even interviewed him a number of times for my Programme on Radio.  I was responsible for the Children's Programme for nearly 32 years.
Therefore I do not feel that there has been any compromise of copyright.
Even more so, I cannot feel that the Zejtun Parish will ever object that Bishop Galea be included in Wikipedia.  
I have nothing to gain.  I sign my contributions to follow Wikipedia's policy.  In fact I would prefer that my name be hidden and be only known to you.

: The problem is that both this page and the official Parish page use the exact same wording.  If you did write both, let us know, and we can revert the copyright violation.  However, it's probably best that the page be re-written in order to avoid the issue.
: There is a copyright notice on the Parish website, .  This allows reproduction for educational, but not commercial, purposes.  This is not compatible with Wikipedia's copyright, which requires that all contributions be permitted for any purpose.
: As for signing contributions, only Talk pages are signed.  The way to "sign" a talk page is not with your name and email address, but with ~~~~, which the Wiki engine translates to your "Wiki Signature", which is a link to your user page.

Talk:Linkou District

message: The main source provided doesn't seem to support large parts of this section; also, "The new town spans the two cities but was still named Linkou" adds some additional uncertainty because of the verb tense inconsistency, making it unlear whether this was  only true during the establishment of the new town or is still true now.
Certainly, "Linkou" is used in an official government capacity to describe a district of New Taipei City, not as a multi-city area. Perhaps this could necessitate a subsection to differentiate between two ways of looking at/discussing Linkou, or make the "New Town" part of a History section.

Talk:Kirk Gleason

message: The episode guide is not appropriate for a character page.  Episode synopses belong on episode pages. Shannernanner 09:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing about assuming good faith requires an editor to keep edits which are not appropriate for an article.  The episode guide was largely blank or contained non-notable information ("Kirk seen drinking coffee at Luke's"); any notable information should be added to the individual episode pages. Shannernanner 03:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The way I see it (and the reason I added this information to Wikipedia) is that the advantage of having Kirk's jobs listed on a single page is that one will not need to go through each of the episode pages to browse Kirk's jobs.  Additionally, since most of the episodes do not have actual pages, there largely isn't a place to list this information.  The only reason I linked to each episode (including the non-existent pages) is that somebody had created placeholder links in Spring 2006 for all of the episodes, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to include them here -- obviously, you feel that is inappropriate.  I see your point that having empty table rows can be considered inappropriate, so we can go ahead and delete the episodes for which Kirk did not appear.  I will do as I suggested above and create a separate Kirk Jobs page, excluding episodes without Kirk.  As for the non-notable information, it's simply a way of mentioning that Kirk was in the episode but didn't hold an official job.  For those episodes where Kirk did hold a job, one could argue that the "seen drinking coffee" observation is irrelevant and non-notable. Alchemistmatt 06:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not necessary to create another page.  If the information belongs any where in a single group, it is on his page; it is not so large of an article to necessitate a sub-article.

message: I think American tankers on Okinawa might differ with the article in regard to the notion of its "diminishing effectiveness". It wasn't a great gun by any means, but it did remain quite dangerous to the end of the war. One could also wonder about the cause of such a diminishing. After all, it's not as if the United States kept introducing newer and better tank designs into service, especially in the Pacific.--172.190.48.224 (talk) 06:31, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

message: What was it maximum speed ? --89.49.180.75 (talk) 07:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no credible technical evidence--certainly not from New Zealand Railways--of the maximum possible speed of any of the NZGR steam locomotives (e.g. Ab, Ja, Ka classes) that had 54-inch driving wheels and a 21-inch piston stroke. All maximum speed claims on this subject that have been written by contributors in Wikipedia have originated from New Zealand rail enthusiast sources who perpetuate the myth and legend written--without acceptable provenance--about the performance capability of these locomotives. It does a great disservice to Wikipedia and the people who use its resource that this furphy is able to be foisted so easily on the readership. What CAN be stated, in answer to the question, is that at 60 mph these locomotives would have been running with more than 6 piston strokes per second. What chance that they could have been made to go faster than this even if you assumed perfect tangent track (3ft 6in gauge). I think it can be accepted that anything above 63 or 64 mph would have been a mechanical impossibility. This stuff really needs to stop. Throttleer (talk) 14:57, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Nawat language

message: All discussion and comments welcome, of course! This article now needs to be linked to from the Pipil page. I have incorporated the information about language from there into this article, which means that at least some of that content should no doubt be removed from the Pipil article, but I haven't done that yet; if somebody else wants to do that, great. I also haven't created the necessary redirects (e.g. from Nawat...); again, a helping hand would be appreciated. Notice that I am putting up three articles on the Pipil/Nawat language: this one, a grammar sketch and a typological overview article. Critics will want to look at all three to get the full picture of what I've tried to do.
Please do keep in mind that this is the very first Wikipedia page I've ever done. So do let me know what I've done wrong and how to improve, and please do so as kindly as possible!

thread_title:  C quality? 

message: On revising the article I have thought it better to remove the grammatical term "construct" and use "possessed (form)" instead. Apart from the fact that many readers might find "construct" difficult because it is unfamiliar to them, the really important reason for the change is that I don't believe the Nawat pattern resembles the original phenomenon to which this term is most usually applied (i.e. Semitic languages) enough to warrant use of the same term. I myself HAVE used "construct" in the past but have changed my mind on it. Semitic constructs characteristically always precede a "possessor" noun and are never determined (i.e. definite). Nawat possessed forms: (1) are always used with a personal possessor affix; (2) need not be followed by a possessor noun; (3) ARE compatible with determiners. They may be somewhat reminiscent of Semitic-style constructs but I don't think there is enough overlap to conflate such different patterns. --A R King (talk) 11:29, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
