Talk:Kraków złoty

message: "Kraków złoty" or "Cracow złoty"? Google books shows 48 vs 26 results, so I don't think we can argue Cracow version is more popular. I suggest keeping the current name, since the city's name is Kraków. Historical and less common name Cracow should be avoided unless it has clear majority of use in a given context. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:46, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Kraków is not an English word - the English word for this city is Cracow. Some English sources no longer use it, but that doesn't make Kraków an English word.

message: Is "counting constants" an error for "counting constraints"?  —Tamfang 21:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

message: May I ask, can someone who knows better just provide a simple example?  I am presuming that codimension runs something like the following, but I'd love to have someone who knows for sure add it to the page:
The codimension of a point inside a cube is 2.  The reason is because a cube is 3D and a point is 1D, so the codimension is 3 - 1 = 2.
Is my simplistic logic correct here?  Thanks!  Mike

Talk:Protestation at Speyer

message: When I translated this article from the German, the following paragraph stumped me:
"In diser „Protestationsschrift" hieß es unter Anderm: 
:,,So protestieren und bezeugen wir hiermit offen vor Gott, unserem alleinigen Erschaffer, Erhalter, Erlöser und Seligmacher, der allein unser aller Herzen erforscht und erkennt, auch demnach recht richten wird, auch vor allen Menschen und Kreaturen, daß wir für uns, die Unsrigen und aller männiglich halben in alle Handlung und vermeinten Abschied nicht gehelen noch billigen, sondern aus vorgesetzten und anderen redlichen gegründeten Ursachen für nichtig und unbündig halten"."
I got as far as:
In this "letter of protestatation" it says among others:
"Therefore we protest and witness herewith openly before God, our sole Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer and Blesser, who alone sees and knows all our hearts and will judge them well, also before all men and creatures, that we..."
before stumbling on "Unsrigen", "männiglich", and "gehelen", as well as the sheer length of the sentence. If anyone can translate the rest, it should be the sixth paragraph, below the one that begins "On 20th April the evangelical princes..." Thanks! --Malthusian (talk) 21:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Paragraph missing from translation

message: "unsrigen" or "unserigen" is not often used very much but simply means "ours". example: das sind die unsrigen (these are ours), like: das sind die meinigen, die deinigen, die seinigen, die ihrigen, die eurigen. nowadays one usually says: das sind die meinen or das sind meine, das sind die unseren or das sind unsere.
when you say "das sind die meinigen" it usually refers to your family, so in the case of this letter "unsrigen" would probably refer to the families, like our kin.
"männiglich" you got me on this one
"halben" i think is related to english "-half" like in "behalf". it's not used anymore but there are remnants like in "der einfachheit halber" (for the sake of simplicity) or "sicherheitshalber" (for safety reasons or "meinethalben" (on my account or for my sake). i think the relationship with engl. "behalf" can still be seen.
"helen" and this one, too. Sundar1 18:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: journalreview.org

message: The list of Twitter journal clubs is probably notable, as many clinicians use Twitter as a platform to stay up to date. In that sense I disagree with . There was a furious blog post by Joel Topf about this edit too.
My view would be that sourcing remains problematic, because actually there is no secondary source and the list as such probably breaches WP:NOR. I wonder if it should be hosted somewhere else, with a URL in the "External links" section. JFW | T@lk 11:16, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: A blog post swearing at wikipedia does not mean that a list is notable. I'm not saying that twitter journal clubs as a topic are not notable, I'm saying that none of the items on that list are notable, and needn't be included in a wikipedia article on the topic of journal clubs in general. I agree with the original research. I know that journal clubs are an event at (probably) every academic institution, and I think this article should focus more on the widespread in-person journal clubs, rather than websites and blogs that are serving as advertising.

"Journal club" is a very broad topic and I tried to add more information about the topic of journal clubs, which have been around since the 1800.

Talk:Kolkata/Archive 3

message: I am removing the Bengali writing of Kolkata from the parantheses of "Calcutta" and placing it next to Kolkata. The reason is that Bengali is a phonetic language (largely) and the Bengali given spells "kol-kaataa". Nothing else. There is no other possibility. In order to spell out Calcutta I would have to use a completely different spelling Bengali. However, I would also oppose putting that in the page because noone who speaks or writes Bengali has ever called it "Calcutta" while working in the Bengali language. That is why writing "Calcutta" in Bengali is an exercise in phonetics, not the writing of a word in Bengali. --LordSuryaofShropshire 15:20, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)
Wikipedia now uses Mumbai and Chennai instead of Bombay and Madras (the latter are redirects). For consistency, it's time to use Kolkata here instead of Calcutta.
Yes, this has been discussed before, but I note that all the news reports about the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake talk about Chennai and not Madras. This is an indication that the "new" names are here to stay, and Kolkata is one of them. So I'm "being bold".

thread_title:  Disambiguation on use of term 

message: The article on the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa is currently at Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk. It is my understanding that English Wikipedia's article titles should be in English. On the English website of the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk, the name is given as simply Dutch Reformed Church (DRC). However, as there is the older and no longer extant Dutch Reformed Church, which is this church's parent, the title would need a disambiguation. The article is already redirected from Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa. Would that be the correct way to disambiguate or would Dutch Reformed Church (South Africa) be correct? Please contribute to this discussion at Talk:Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk. Thank you. Ltwin (talk) 03:23, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Comitatus

message: The disambiguation page references this page in regard to a political term used in various meanings in Europe's classical period and in the Middle Ages.  But the definition on this page is a Roman definition which may be the first line of the disambiguation page:  a Latin word meaning company or retinue or an armed group of men attached to a leader, or comes; in particular, the Roman late Imperial mobile army (see comitatenses units).

thread_title:  Greek term...? 

message: The Section on women ends with the following text, which appears to be out of place (it looks as if it is notes/outline from an earlier version):
:Comitatus-Warrior Culture -Lord/Thane relationship: They had mutual obligations to each other. -Blood-feud: They went by the rules of blood feud. It was always endless retaliation: a life for a life. -Compensation/Werguild (man price) -Kinship ties were important -Participated in gift/insult exchange: it was an economy of honor, it showed the importance of "stuff."
Secondly, I'm currently reading Christopher I. Beckwith's Empires of the Silk Road, in which he claims that the Comitatus was a major (possibly defining) cultural feature of the whole "Central Eurasian Culture Complex" that (in his view) encompassed at one time or other lands and peoples all the way from the non-Romanised parts of Europe in Antiquity/Early Middle ages to Manchuria.

Talk:Kolkata/Archive 6

message: On a different ground of argument, this may be viewed as not a case of change of spellingrather than as a case of change of name. So applying "common usage" does indicate Kolkata/Calcutta (because they are the same word spelled differently). Well, the spelling is possibly still Calcutta in American English/British English, but in Indian English it is Kolkata and we should abide by Wikipedia:Manual of style. Is this argument valid? -- Urnonav 05:21, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Can be viewed as spelling change?

message: Pursuant to Nichalp's comment above:
:What we have seen is a flaw in the policy. The policy needs to consider the name change especially since the spelling also has changed; plus it is in English.  The policy needs to be refined. Maintaining a rigid stance based on an old policy that certainly goes haywire when dealing with Indian cities points to an upheaval and refinement, especially since wikipedia policies are fluid. "Correctness" or accuracy is a major criteria to be fulfilled if this encyclopedia has to gain credibility and definately a cogent point to consider. Nichalp 20:42, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
