thread_title: Statuenprospekt

message: The actual text from Ammianus is:
ad Septemzodium convenisset, celebrem locum, ubi operis ambitiosi Nymphaeum Marcus condidit imperator,
which either implies that Marcus built the Septemzodium, or that he built something near it called the Nymphaeum; in either case the building that Severus built was not called the Nymphaeum

Jeanmaire points out that that this bushranger life has no common point with the disciplined and well-ordered communal life (see homonoia) of the Spartan hoplite;' this seems to me to miss the point. the crypteia was used to test and train future leaders who be operarating outside the phalanx ( at least in politics ).  217.7.209.108 10:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Accent

message: This is one of the least messy pages regarding accents. The primary, I stress (for the sheer dramaturgy of it), the primary usage of accent is phonological tone and stress in words in a language. The word "accent" refering to a certain pronunciation pattern among a certain group of people is a colloquial misnomer for dialectal variation. The following articles needs renaming:
* Stress (linguistics) should be Accent (linguistics), since the article is about Stress (linguistics) and Tone (linguistics) which in linguistics is collected under the term Accent.
* The linguistics term accent, is the oldest meaning one emerging from Latin accentus, it's also the one meaning listed as primary in my Swedish-English dictionary,
* Accent (linguistics) should be merged with Dialect, which is the proper linguistic term. All articles named Accent (something) should have a pointer to Accent (disambiguation).

thread_title: Unmessification

message: There are a lot of items on this disambiguation page, and I think there is a primary topic. I think @Rursus (2008) agree(d) with me in this, but came to endorse stress_(linguistics).
* accent_(sociolinguistics) gets several times more clicks than all the others: accent_(sociolinguistics) 7.3%; stress 1.3%; diacritic .5% (WikiNav)
*Regardless of what is the original sense, wp:disambiguation#is_there_a_primary_topic? specifically mentions that it does not need to be. From what I understand, the sociolinguist's sense has the greatest familiarity to a general audience, which are neither sociolinguist nor phonetician.
I think that Accent_(sociolinguistics) should be the primary sense. If there could somehow be several primary sources, (idk) I could be open to giving the top three topics mentioned above primary status because there are so many other senses. thoughts?

message: Is the American DVD rare? I've heard the old VHS editions (which you can still find) are a bit edited.
*The Animeigo DVD is out of print and demands hefty prices on places like Amazon and Ebay. The VHS Animeigo edition is uncut, like the DVD. The older VHS editions, from the Just For Kids label are edited as Vengeance of the Space Pirate and was shortened by about 40 minutes. But the version that actually uses the title My Youth in Arcadia is uncut, however some of the music numbers are rearranged. The Just for Kids label liked to truncate the credits or eliminate them totally so even the uncut version of the MYIA Just for Kids VHS ends abruptly after the last scene. If I remember right, the ending song was switched to the middle of the film for this reason.Mr. ATOZ (talk) 19:39, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I added the Refimprove tag because there's just one footnote for the entire article. I noticed that one editor urged another to add to the history because they're a "subject expert". Nothing should be added that comes from anyone's personal knowledge.

thread_title:  French translation 

message: The second paragraph of the intro currently contains the following passage:
"...met Prince Alexander, with whom she began and became secretly engaged to,..."
a) There is a word missing after "began" - I can't fix it, because I do not know what would be the correct candidate. "Affair", "relationship", "romance", "secret correspondence" - someone who knows the story has to fix this; I can't do it.
b) I assume once issue a) is sorted out, the grammar will turn out to be an ill fit. "With whom" does not go with "became ... engaged to". So the whole passage will need to be rewritten.

thread_title:  word missing 

message: This is the quote: 
"With this legal subterfuge, Alexandra obtained the style of Royal Highness and the title of Princess of Greece and Denmark. Aspasia's status, however, was not changed with the law and she remained a simple commoner to the eyes of protocol.
Humiliated by this difference in treatment, Aspasia approached Prince Christopher of Greece (who also married a commoner), and begged him to intercede on her behalf. Moved by the arguments of his niece-in-law, the Prince talked to Queen Sophia, who eventually changed her opinion. Under pressure from his wife, King Constantine I issued a decree, gazetted 10 September 1922 under which Aspasia received the title "Princess of Greece and Denmark" and the style of Royal Highness."
So, according to this, she was made an HRH and a princess of Greece and Denmark. But, LATER, she was made an HRH and princess of Greece and Denmark. That makes no sense. She was given those titles twice? Huh? 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:ED31:BCAC:EEA0:BCD3 (talk) 01:17, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Shiloh

message: I have been privately contacted by an individual claiming to be Tina M. Barber, requesting that I serve as her advocate in the current arbitration proceeding. I have been unable to verify that the request came from Ms. Barber; it came through Yahoo mail directly rather than Wikipedia mail. After I responded to the initial email, to an address independently associated with Ms Barber, I received a followup email from the original, unverified address which rather ambiguously indicated awareness of my response.  After reviewing the arbitration, it seems clear to me that Ms. Barber should have an advocate, and I believe I can do so effectively. However, given the circumstances surrounding the contact with me, I am suspicious that the request is not legitimate, and comes from someone trying to further inflame an already acrimonious dispute, and who has decided to involve me because I have a moderately similar dispute with User:Jareth.  Is it, therefore, appropriate for me to present evidence regarding this matter (which any Wikipedian is entitled to) without becoming subject to the arbitration itself?
