Category talk:Women scientists

message: After reading the relevant discussion and determining that my comments should be posted here, I believe that
# The contributions of women to science (and other fields) have long been neglected and even deliberately discounted, and this is something that Wikipedia can and should rectify.
# Over-categorization can make for a messy structure which doesn't add to the utility of the encyclopedia.
# It is important not to ghetto-ize minority groups or individuals through classification.
So the questions are begged: 
# Where, in terms of encyclopedia structure, does a list of minority achievers belong with relation to any field of endeavour?
# What guiding principles are most relevant for determining such a structure?  (I'll do my own research on this, being a relative newbie here.)
# What new guiding principle(s), if any, is (are) required to address this general issue?

message: The term "women scientists" is grammatically atrocious.  Can't we make this "female scientists"?  I suppose the incorrect use of "women" as an adjective is so firmly entrenched in Wikipedia's categories that this would require a major overhaul, though.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aiwendil42 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 30 April 2006‎ (UTC)

Talk:Elizabeth Montgomery

message: The sidebar thingy with the husbands she has had in her life misleads the reader into thinking that she divorced Mr. Foxworth before she died.  That is not true.  He is her widower.

thread_title: Suggestions for improvement

message: The M2A4 was America's first home grown cannon equipped single turret light tank to see combat by US forces; and this occurred while serving with the USMC in WWII.  The earlier versions of the M2 were either strictly machinegun equipped or had twin turrets.  The M2A4 quickly gave way to the M3 Stuart Light Tank.   Although the US Army's (192nd & 194th Tank Battalions) M3 Stuart light tanks saw America's first tank to tank fighting in WWII, in December 1942, at Bataan and Corregidor (against IJA Type 95 light tanks); the M3 was not America's first light tank.  The Guadalcanal campaign was the M2's only combat deployment.
The M2A4 and M3 look almost identical to each other.  The primary difference is the idler wheel touching the ground & rear bogey wheels closer to the front bogey wheels (creating a gap between the idler wheel & bogey wheels) seen on the M3 Stuart.  Reference color plate on page 27 (Plate C), M3 & M5 Stuart Light Tank 1940-45 by Steven J. Zaloga (Osprey Publishing) 1999.
To clarify: The Model 1917 six ton (Renault) tank was America's first official light tank.  However, this was a direct licensed built copy of the French Renault WWI tank.  The M2A4 which was never called a Stuart Tank was the US's first successfully designed & built standard light tank (standard=single cannon/single turret) to see action by US forces.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.105.32.52 (talk) 00:24, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: To the best of my knowledge, conventional forms of Japanese romanization (nippon-siki, kunrei, and Hepburn) do not make any prescriptions as to how to deal with the utterance-ending "small tsu" (this isn't a sokuon, BTW, in any technical sense). After all, this small tsu, typically representing a glottal stop, is not phonemic. For me personally, I typically end up using either hs in romanization, or exclamation points and other forms of exaggeration in translation. If your talking about IPA transcription, however, you would presumably use the symbol that represents a glottal stop, that being a "ʔ". --24.20.172.130 (talk) 07:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The pronunciation given in the video in the Nintendo Direct video referenced is something like [uʔːu] (ignoring pitch and transcribing the vowel broadly). I assume the apostrophe in the article is non-standard IPA for the glottal stop. I think [uʔːu] or [uʔʔu] would be a better transcription (because it uses the IPA, and it doesn't ignore the length of the sokuon—the word definitely takes the same amount of time as, say あった [atːa]), but I'm not sure it is my place to make the change. Does it even make sense to be listening to a video and making my own transcriptions?
