Talk:Saka language

message: I thought 'Saka' was the self-designation of the Scythians and the name by which other Iranian groups called them (Persians, Medes, etc...), Scythian being the Greek name for the Sakas.
Why is there page on the so-called "Saka" language if it was spoken by the same ethnic group? How does it differ, apart from the location spoken? It's a Northeastern-Iranian language also... I don't think there's any difference.
It's like having two pages for the German language based on the foreign designation and ethnic designation for it: Deutsche language and German language.
Or Russian Language and Russky Language, Spanish Language and Espanol Language. Doesn't make sence?

replies: text: This is because Saka is used for both the Scythian languages as a whole and also for the specific Eastern Saka of Khotan.  Many times one terms represent more than one idea.  For example, Persian could mean only Farsi (the Persian dialect of Iran), but also can be a cover term for all Persian dialects: Dari, Tajik, Aimaq, and Hazara.

thread_title: If the Scythians were the Sakas, why do we have two separate pages for the same language?

message: See http://www.alvestrand.no/pipermail/ietf-languages/2008-October/008629.html for details. Two months ago, I found that in http://linguistlist.org/forms/langs/LLDescription.cfm?code=xsk the Linguist List said that Khotanese is an alternate name of Sakan. Then I emailed to ask the people on Ietf-languages mailing list to clarify this. Finally at Oct 23 2008, they confirmed that Sakan will be listed under Khotanese as an alternate name of Khotanese. The ISO 639 code “kho” will be used instead, and “xsk” will be marked as a duplicate. Now you can see that in xsk this code has been retired.--✉ Hello World! 03:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice find Hello World.  Terms like Scythian and Saka are often cover terms for several languages or were used for particular languages.  Khotanese and Tumshuqese are welcomed terms over Saka or Sakan.  This will help distinguish them from the Western Scythian languages: Scythian, Sarmatian, and Alanic.  This reminds me of the term Persian which is used for Farsi (the Persian of Iran) and as a cover term for all Persian dialects: Dari, Hazara, Aimaq, and Tajik etc. Azalea pomp (talk) 08:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Practical Ethics

message: I think it would be appropriate to indicate that it's the book and not the topic. Otherwise, even with the notice "For the topic of practical ethics, see Applied ethics.",  it may be confusing: "Practical Ethics, sometimes called Moral Philosophy or Applied Ethics, is a branch of philosophy that has developed out of the study of Ethics, and aims to examine and define principles for moral behaviour and apply them to real world scenarios".

Talk:Prayer of Manasseh

message: Surprised no one had a KJV reference. The KJV included the Prayer of Manasseh book since it's first publishing in 1611 AD.--Cheap-stock-photos (talk) 07:12, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: untitled

message: The following content was in the Manasses (given name) article and, since it's really outside the topic of that article, I thought I'd bring it here. It's mostly taken from the Catholic Encyclopedia.
The Prayer of Manasseh is an apocryphal writing which purports to give the prayer referred to in II Par., xxxiii, 13, 18-19. Its original is Greek. Nestle thinks that the prayer and other legends of Manasses in their present form are not earlier than the "Apostol. Const.", xi, 22; and that the prayer found its way into some Manuscripts of the Septuagint as part, not of the Sept., but of the "Apostol. Const." (see "Septuaginta Studien", III, 1889). The prayer is not in the canon of Trent, nor has there ever seemed to have been any serious claim to its canonicity.

thread_title:  Content from Manasses (given name) 

message: The article says, "It is used in the Roman Rite as part of the Responsory ...". But it also says, "The prayer is considered apocryphal by Jews, Catholics and Protestants.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Irish republicanism

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Lou Sander (talk) 20:27, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Extensive revisions 

message: Wikipedia is right to steer toward rigor, but who exactly is going to take the time to make citations in an academic sense?  Here is my lay-understanding...  in something like a history, multiple viewpoints are inevitable, and some kind of "correctness" is gained by examining those viewpoints critically, making synthesis and looking for authoritative publications doing the same.  In a unique work of psychological theory, this is not the situation.. instead every point of view or work of scholarship will just lead to .. more points of view and more works of scholarship -- there is no correct answer.
Some people argue that psychology cannot be a science for reasons along these lines.. Jung is one of the great minds on the topic in the modern era, and this work is part of that. I do not think Wikipedia Guidlelines on citations need to overbear on this article, since no amount of citation will result in a "correct" article. I would rather enjoy the article than be nagged by prominent and unavoidably loud visual tagging that insists on something that is not really what is missing here. 75.101.48.113 (talk) 02:02, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business

message: Public Speaking and Influencing Men In Business is just a 1937 revision of Carnegie's 1926 text Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men.

message: The article says:
:"...is a public speaking book written by Dale Carnegie in 1937 and first published in 1926 as Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men, with several revised editions published later."
I think the 1937 is just wrong, it's 1926. By 1936 he published How To Win Friends and Influence People and wasn't really focused on publishing speaking books.
I'll just delete the "written by" part.

Talk:Pulp (novel)

message: The second paragraph is very unclear, and I can't figure out what it's supposed to mean in order to fix it.
# We shouldn't say "fictional novel"; novel means it's fictional. If it's partially autobiographical we can call it a "partly autobiographical novel"
# Many of Bukowski's novels were partially autobiographical; this paragraph at once says it's different from them, and then that it's not.  Shouldn't we just say "Many of Bukowski's novels have autobiographical elements, although Pulp is almost entirely fiction" ?
# What purpose does the quotation from the book in this paragraph serve? It doesn't seem at all related to the text that precedes it, and we give no explanation of what it means or why it matters.  An encyclopedia article has to explain things; interpretation should not be devolved to the reader.
