Talk:Palwankar Baloo

message: Two editors seem to be playing down his caste background. Can someone tell me what is going on here? Palwankar Baloo obviously was a great cricketer but his story is all the more remarkable because of the discrimination he suffered. His background and the treatment of him obviously also informs his political activities. To many westerners the history of Indian cricket is dominated by the princes―Ranji,Duleep and the Nawabs of Pataudi in particular. Baloo and his brothers are the other sidee of the story and that story should be told. Things may be different now. I hope they are, but that is no reason not to outline the history. It is as if people tried to tell the story of Jesse Owens without saying he was black or of Florence Nightingale or emeline pankhurst without saying they were women,or trying to tell the story of the Amerivcan Civil War without referring to slavery. Spinney Hill (talk) 12:28, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Some mention must be made of his caste. Being the first major cricketer from a backward caste is one of the reasons for his importance in Indian cricket history. The older version perhaps overdid it a bit but now I can't see a single mention that he was a dalit, which is unacceptable. Tintin 17:37, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Slippery hitch

message: Ashley's slippery hitch is a single turn, with the end turned back and pinched under the working part. It holds nicely under load, but unloaded you just flip the rope to throw it off. You can also pull the end out, like any other slipknot. Give the part turned back a half twist, and you can put that under the nip to make it more secure.
This one is, like the man says, "undistinguished".

(it's typical to Ashley to show the same knot under different circumstances with different names because his book is based on the uses that knots and other assembling devices have. But wikipedia isn't)
Nodurosul (talk) 06:11, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Very good point about the pictured knot being a two-strand MWK.  Since several knots are known under the name "True Lover's Knot", including this form of the MWK, my thought is that this article should probably remain separate (and be expanded to with better coverage of those other forms).  But I definitely agree that the two stranded variant pictured here be shown and discussed in the MWK article as well.  A similar issue arises with one form of the Miller's knot known as the Ground-line hitch.  There are some guidelines on the WP:KNOTS page which try to address the often tricky questions surrounding single vs. multiple articles covering knots related by form, function, naming, etc.  --Dfred (talk) 16:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:José Antonio Aguirre (politician)

message: I got to this page by googling "Montevidean wikipedia" because I saw the word Montevidean and wondered what it meant.

message: I modified the following sentence primarily because of tone, being place in the external links section and use of personal pronouns. I did confirm that "klem" does mean clamp in Dutch, but in German it is "Klemme". Though I can not confirm that is why the knot is named that, it is also at times a last name. If someone has any references to the general class of knots being named klemmnoten, please place that back in the text.
;Before
NB: Sometimes the knot name is misspelled 'Kleimheist'--extra "i". ("Klem" I believe means "clamp" or ... in German; the general class of knots seems to be "klemmnoten".
;After
Sometimes the knot name is misspelled Kleimheist, with an extra i. Klem means clamp in Dutch.

replies: text: Sundaram Karivardhan →  – Karivaradhan is the correct spelling of his name. Media seem to have used both spellings, but Latinisation of Indian names can be inconsistent, so this isn't conclusive. Some examples of Karivaradhan in media are https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/coimbatore-races-with-f3-track/articleshow/329149.cms and https://www.asianage.com/sports/in-other-sports/120819/the-indian-voice-of-formula-1.html. What is conclusive to me are three things. For one, a personal friend and race-driver uses this spelling at https://twitter.com/vickychandhok/status/1032845949901520896. Secondly, the meaning of the word is Kari (elephant) + vara (boon) + da (giver)+ -n, the Tamil masculine singular ending, referring to the Gajendra Moksa episode. Thirdly, the rdha cluster isn't actually legal in Tamil, for which I don't have an easy English reference unfortunately. Ambarish (talk) 02:15, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
