message: ...came to the Floods in Afghanistan page, because of the present, 2024 Afghanistan flood reports... Someone already hastily (and IMO sloppily) started a 2024 Afghanistan-Pakistan floods stub. So while this is an annual event, sadly, there are numerous annual pages. I would like to clarify the existing formal issues on the child pages (stubs) named in the List of Floods in Afghanistan: 
*Should these annual event stubs not be named uniformly?   For example  plural versus singular etc
* Shouldnt they be created separately for Afghanistan and Pakistan -or together as occurred in two cases: 2013 Pakistan–Afghanistan floods?  
*or If there is as little editorial attention to these pages as it seems,(probably also lack of subsequent reporting about the event)  shouldnt the info of these pages be better presented in a table? 
Before starting an RfC on Talk:Floods in Afghanistan I am posting this here and on the respective Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disaster management and Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Floods task force pages in the hope that someone comments. Wuerzele (talk) 09:19, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries. 
Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.
Afghanistan is listed as a least-developed country for the purposes of this contest, which means Afghanistan-related submissions to the contest will get a multiplier in points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content! 
Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Talk:Maximal munch

message: How goofy. I suppose calling it the "longest possible match" rule would have been too boring, or something.

replies: text: The obvious alternative is to accept the minimal match. There are a lot of situations where this is undesirable (if we see "23" we usually want one token, "23", and not two tokens, "2" and "3") so this is less popular and to my knowledge doesn't have a snappy name like "maximal munch".

Talk:Totality

message: I'm sorry but I find the editing for Wikipedia very alien, can someone please do the repair for me.
The problem with this article is that there should be an article on the meaning(s) of the word totality.
I am sure ‘Totality’ is used in astronomy - as at a special point in an orbit where three bodies are or come into perfect alignment. I think ‘Totality’ is used in maths in set theory - totalities are connected to the universal set or may even be used as another name for it - as in the universal set is a totality.
Finally I think ‘Totality’ is used in AI where it is closely connected with the theory of Tautologies a central part of predicate calculus.
This should be enough for a stub article - as for references I suggest dictionaries of astronomy and mathematics, the AI is more difficult, I was taught it in university about 10 years ago, I think in a course on the formal logic of computation - books and articles on this subject are unfortunately quite hard to find.

Talk:The Barber of Seville (play)

message: This article says that Figaro is based on the Commedia dell'arte character Brighella, but the description of Brighella on his own page differs substantially from that of Figaro. Can anyone say more on the relation between the two? Inhumandecency 19:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Brighella article says, "Pierre Louis Duchartre, in his The Italian Comedy theorizes that in France, the gentilified Brighella eventually culminated in the character of Figaro, known from the plays and operas."  I think the similarities come in from his ability to lie and scheme, his devotion to his master, and his witty wordplay.  However, arguments can probably also be made for Figaro as an Arlecchino-type, as well. It would help, of course, if people would add their citations! Portia1780 (talk) 18:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Talk

message: A truffle is a prized fungus, that grows underground and is traditionally harvested by use of pigs who dig it up to eat it (a part of its natural life cycle) or dogs who are specially trained, in each case finding it by smell.  Truffles are candies where a coating (typically chocolate) hides something inside.  Tartuffo is an Italian ice-cream dish, where a filling is hidden inside. Per IMDb WC Fields's character is called, by another who considers him a fraud, "you egregious tartuffle!" and responds "Tartuffle? Is that good or bad?" (But perhaps i am imagining "a tartuffle, if there is such a thing" and/or "a tartuffle, whatever that may be" from his lips.)  A site about Florence, Italy refers to "the famous "panini tarufat", a small sandwich with tartuffle cream." Surely Tartuffe is so named bcz he is not inwardly what appears on the outside!

Talk:Character classes from the Dragon Quest series

message: At first glance, this appears to be a new page copied from http://en.allexperts.com/e/l/li/list_of_character_classes.htm#hd8.  However, this article was split off from List of character classes, which had gotten too long.  Tiny print at the very bottom of http://en.allexperts.com/e/l/li/list_of_character_classes.htm indicates that WP was indeed the source. -- Butseriouslyfolks 03:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Dragon Quest IV featured classes, although they couldn't be changed like in other games.
Ragnar/ Ryan was a soldier/ fighter.  Alena was tagged as a princess, but used martial artist techniques.  Cristo/ Krift was a priest.  Brey/ Burai was a mage.
Taloon/ Toruneko was a (weapons) merchant.  Mara/ Mâna was a dancer (with mage spells).  Nara/ Minea was a fortune teller (with priest spells).  The main character was a hero.
Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart includes classes, too, but I'll have to check what all of them are (don't have it close right now).
A note on Dragon Quest II.  I don't remember correctly, but I believe the japanese game marked the main character as "hero", even when he didn't learn any spell, like heroes from other games.  The other prince was a magic knight in Japan.
And I agree with 220.244.7.66 that more explanation is required about how classes work, whether they can be selected at the start, changed (at Dharma Temple) or are fixed to the character. Icecypher 21:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Classes in other Dragon Quest games 

message: I suggest that we provide the names of the classes as they are called in localized version of Dragon Quest.  Reason: the target readers are English speakers who would be most likely to play the localized versions of Dragon Quest.  For Dragon Quest VII, we should provide the names of classes used in Dragon Warrior VII.

Then moving this information into a relevant spot on each individual game's page for other people to pick at. Then we hit the 'delete' button.

message: 01 February 2007: Created this page by splitting off the following text from Show_(fair):
A distinctive feature of Australian shows is the showbag, a themed carry bag of goods from a commercial sponsor. Showbags are also known as sample bags, especially among older people, as they contain samples of the range of goods produced by the vendor. Sample bags used to be free or have only a nominal charge to promote the brand awareness, however this is now unusual. Most showbags are marketed to the young, containing lots of lollies (candy) and chocolate, dolls and other toys. Common themes for showbags include confectionery brands, trademarked toys such as Barbie, Garfield, GI JOE and Batman and sports teams. Showbags may also be created and named after current fads.
