replies: text: Good question! According to this it is definitely not an originally Scottish name. However, the Scots have used English names for centuries, so it makes sense to add it as a Scotch name, in my opinion, since it is definitely in use today.

replies: text: I updated the page with some very basic information. One thing it lacks is its history. I see above some speculative comments but without any citations or references. Without spending a lot of time researching, I found the name appearing in the 1930s, but its very likely it was in use prior to that. Some research needs doing and I may do so if time allows.MagnoliaSouth (talk) 19:02, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Wii Fit

message: The list of activites in Gameplay seems to be quite large and with a lot of white space. I think that they should be reformatted into some form of a table or into a collapsable list in order to appear tidier. Here is a subsection of the table I quickly put together (the rest of it is commented out for clarity), if it looks good to add:
Yoga          	Strength Training   	Aerobics       	Balance Games
Deep Breathing	Single Leg Extension	Hula Hoop      	Soccer Heading
Half-Moon     	Sideways Leg Lift   	Super Hula Hoop	Ski Jump
I also personally think that the development section is lacking, focusing too much on MIyamoto's initial design and too little on the actual development. I think that the Iwata Asks interviews would be incorporated, as they are rich in detail. I have the link to first volume, but references should be created when they are actually used, and I suggest with <ref name="iwata_volX_Y">, where X is the volume number and Y is the page number.

thread_title: April 2021

message: Sceptics are not necessarily wrong, and "consensus" is not a scientific concept. It seems that proof has been dismissed as a scientific principle, in that it cannot be obtained for the consensus view!
The mathematics of general relativity contains errors which it seems the proponents cannot understand, because they have not noticed them themselves, therefore how can they say that the theory is correct? Am I a crackpot because I see the mistakes in the mathematics which they cannot (which have been explained fully on the net without a single person being willing to stand and say why my point of view is wrong) and must be obvious to anyone who has actually understood the theory? I therefore deduce that no living person understands the theory and it is merely propaganda from a frightened science elite who risk exposure.
Moving on we see climate change as the next great belief! There is no testable scientific proof that CO2 causes significant global climate change, yet there is considerable proof that changes in solar activity do cause climate changes. Why then is CO2 climate change suddenly a consensus view of science (If a vote were actually taken it probably isn't). 
Why has this topic got low importance? Well Wiki is proven to delete material which criticises "consensus" views, even if well founded with proof and examples. Perhaps someone would care to offer proof that I am worthy of the crackpot index, otherwise it is proved that "science" is no longer fact, simply propaganda! You can offer either mathematically correct support for Einstein's pseudo tensor or experimental verification of CO2 effect on global climate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.37.222 (talk) 19:37, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Lorenzo Palacios Quispe

message: I'm not an expert on Chacalón, and I'm certainly not an english professor. But I can say this article requires a bit of cleanup.
- From the "Biography" section: "... become a thieve with the noble aim to support his family..."
Please note that the correct spelling is "thief." Also, please check for NPOV.
- Same paragraph as above: "... already at the time, together with his brother, they were already active as a street traders and singers ..."
This sentence would best be replaced with something as: "... who was already active as a singer and a street trader, alongside his brother..."
I have no idea what the original writer meant by "street trader," however. ¿Podrían explicarlo en español?
- The rest of the paragraph, and the rest of the article is a grammatical disaster, with excerpts such as: "... he had his started first...", and "... his wife Dora give birth his first child ..."
- I understand that this article is a stub, but there is no mention of Chacalón's untimely death, or his other children, or his impact in Peruvian society. One cannot board a bus in Lima, without a street kid climbing up and singing "Soy un muchacho provinciano", at any point during the trip.
Other than that, deep thanks to whoever first dove in, and started this article. I do believe it could be the start of something good. However, and I said, I'm painfully unqualified to write about Chacalón, so I will not try. If any Chacalón fans out there do want to give it a try, by all means.

Talk:Culturism

message: I believe this article should not be deleted for two reasons.  One is that it is already a word that has credence in the blogosphere.  Put culturism in the google search engine and you will see several references to the word.  It is in the air; it is not only my term.  In fact, it is an addition to the culturist page which was set up by someone else (though it was orphaned).  The original poster's quote still adorns the bottom of the post.  Secondly, I believe this word will soon be even more widely used.  It is good to have authoritative information (editable and debatable) on topics of public interest.

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Culturist]] 

message: Regardless of whether the merge takes place, the style of both articles is far below the required standard by Wikipedia. In particular, the text is polemical. If you want to advance culturalist ideas, do so outside of Wikipedia. The point of a Wikipedia article is to be purely factual. 
I propose the main text is amended as follows:
Culturism is a term referring to a political philosophy emphasizing cultural diversity. Culturism does not hold that any culture is better or worse than any other, but that all cultures have a right to define and defend themselves and to implement "culturist" policies designed to perpetuate their unique (or otherwise valuable) characteristics. 
An example of a culturalist perspective would be that Western cultures believe in free speech, feminism, and the separation of church and state. Islam, on the other hand, does not. The opposite of culturalism is cultural imperialism.

Talk:Corydon (character)

message: I corrected the use of Corydon's name in the title of Serusier's painting, and for some reason, user KylieTastic took it upon themselves to revert it.  I'll spell out the reasons why I changed it, and then I will change it back.  If KylieTastic (or anyone else) is intent on reverting again, they need to first engage in discussion here; that's the point of "talk" pages.  Now then: "Corydon" is a proper noun.  It was used thus by Virgil, by Siculus, by Edmund Spenser -- indeed, by every writer who has employed the word.  Paul Serusier's painting is titled "Le Berger Corydon".  For some reason, some editor here has translated that into English as "The Corydon shepherd".  This is completely nonsensical.  The literal translation of the title is "The Shepherd Corydon".  That is idiomatically awkward, since in English it is more common to have the proper noun followed by the descriptor or disambiguator noun.  Examples of this include "Bartleby the Scrivener", "Mack the Knife", "John the Baptist", "Conan the Barbarian", and so on.  Exceptions to this are usually found within a larger phrase of prose, not a work's title, and the descriptor is typically followed by a comma, as with "...the 26th President, Theodore Roosevelt" or "...the albino, Edgar Winter".  No such convention is used by Serusier for his title.  Also, "The Corydon shepherd" reads in English as if "Corydon" is an adjective being used to describe a shepherd, which defies logic since "Corydon" is his name, not a characteristic he has.  Finally, the editor who reverted my edit, rendered the title as "The Corydon shepherd", which doesn't even follow titling conventions wherein every noun is capitalized.  Consequently, the correct rendering of the title would be "Corydon the Shepherd".  And so I shall correct it to, once again. Bricology (talk) 09:09, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Havillah, Washington

message: Via OTRS:
The Havillah, Washington article contains some
errors.  I was born and raised here and am currently residing on one of the original
homesteads in the area that has been in my family since it was homesteaded.  Here is some
information to use to for corrections if you so desire:
In 2014, “downtown” Havillah has a population of 4.   If you include the surrounding area
for even for miles in every direction until you are out of the Havillah area, you have a
population of less than 100.  This has been true for many years.  Some of the ranches in
the area are beginning to get subdivided.  As that happens, the population continues to
creep upwards. 
Obergs came to the area in 1899, Vissers in 1902,  Schweikert's in 1903, (granddaughter
still here), Duchows in 1910.   Feddersons purchased land and still have several families
in the area including Bunches, in 1911. The Battermans’s came in 1921 of which the
Kuhlmanns are descendants.   So more accurately that should read “direct descendants
(notably Obergs, Vissers, Schweikert’s, Duchows, Feddersons/Bunches, and
Battermans/Kuhlmanns) still live……”     That statement adds a couple of families that are
still here, and lists them in the order they came.
Sitzmark Ski Hill was started in 1953 by Jick Fancher, John Woodward, Jim McIntosh and
Earl Freel.  It was sold to Jick Fancher who found it was more work than one person could
handle. He contacted the Tonasket Kiwanis Club to help run it in 1959.  They agreed and
Earl Freel was the manager for many years.  Kuhlmanns became involved sometime later.  It
is currently operated by the Sitzmark Ski Club.  
All this information can be checked against available historical records.
