Talk:Manichaean script

message: This article begings:
:Manichaean script is a sibling of an early form of Pahlavi script, and like Pahlavi is a development from Imperial Aramaic, the official language and script of the Achaemenid court. Unlike Pahlavi, Manichaean script reveals influences from Sogdian script, which in turn descends from the Syriac branch of Aramaic.
This description is not accurate, and it doesn't match what the Encyclopedia Iranica or any of the other articles say about it.  Manichaean script is a form of Syriac script (as stated in all the articles), and was attested hundreds of years before it wound up in Sogdiana.  There is an Aramaic incantation bowl from Iraq that has Manichaean script in it (mentioned in Encyclopedia Iranica), and that bowl dates from the beginning times of Manichaeism in Babylon (around 3rd century AD). A person can see just by looking at it, that Manichaean script is a form of Syriac, and has much less in common with the Pahlavi script than it does with Syriac.Jimhoward72 (talk) 22:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The texts are usually written in ink on paper, although a few are on leather. The Middle Persian and Parthian mss. are written in the characteristic "Manichaean" script, which is akin to Syriac Estrangelo, and was evidently the form of writing used in Mani's homeland. The Sogdian mss. are written partly in this script, partly in a script that is known either as "Sogdian", or as "Uigur" (from its adoption by the Uigur Turks); this, like the Pahlavi script, is an adaptation of the Achaemenian chancellery script, deriving from Aramaic. From Mary Boyce, here
The article should say this, and not what it currently says. To paraphrase: Manichaean script is a version of Syriac.  There was another script found at Turfan, Sogdian/Uigur, which is not "Manichaean script", and which evolved along with Pahlavi.Jimhoward72 (talk) 18:57, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Eryholme

message: "Eryholme" contains the current Norwegian word "Holm" which means an islet. This not only "an island formed 
by a river", as these islets can be located be in lakes, fjords or the open sea.
e.g. Peasholme Park in Scarborough
I suppose that Holmfirth may have an old ford & river islet, as "Forth" & "Firth" are of Norwegian origin, 
whereas "Ford" is reckoned to be of Danish origin.
The old word for "Durham" city was "Dunholm", which may refer to an old islet in the River Wear, or more 
likely the major loop circling the fortress. 
Present day Norwegians call a peninsular a "halv oeya" a half island, so it's not surprising that tight 
loops in a river in olden days took the same name as small islands.
There are such similarities between Old Angle, Old Danish & Old Norsk, that origins can be cloudy in 
the former & much missed Kingdom of Northumbria.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neil G Johnson (talk • contribs) 23:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  downsizing 

message: The transcription of the poem in Tengwar is erroneous on several occasions.
Given that the mode intended is that examplified at the Moria west-gate the letter used for G (in "Gilthoniel", "aglar" and "galadhremmin") is the wrong one and should be replaced by the top-open form called "anga" (the one used here should rather represent GW in this mode. The letter used finally in "Fanuilos" should also not occur here since in this mode it appears to denote lenition (as on M in "mhellon" in a Moria gate draft) rather than the sound S.
The F of "nef" must be transcribed with the same letter as V in "silivren" because it is in fact the same sound (F regularly being used for final V in Tolkiens 'transcription' of Sindarin) and "aear" is here written "aer".

Talk:Standing

message: I've replaced the lead (and only) image with one that better illustrates a standing position. The one I chose is the best one I found in :Commons:Category:People standing and it's sub categories, but there are so many I possibly missed some. What I think we need from the lead image is listed below
*A full-length portrait shot, including the feet.
*A neutral background
*One or more people, but ideally no props or other subjects.
*Definitely not leaning
*Ideally standing fairly naturally, i.e. not to military attention (we should have a separate photo lower down for this), nor exaggerated posing.
*Wearing clothing that does not overly hide the body shape, particularly the lower legs - a space suit or wedding dress is very wrong for this article; shorts or a short skirt with bare legs are probably best. A swimsuit might also work depending on the focus of the image.
*Probably not a fashion photo, as these will tend to focus on the clothes where we want a focus on the natural standing posture.
*Ideally the subject should be barefoot or wearing flat shoes - high heels give a different posture.
*Ideally a sharp, in-focus image. A painting might work, but not something in the impressionist style.
*A single image showing a man and a woman would be ideal - due to differences in their hips men and women stand slightly differently.
The current image, :File:Working Uniform.jpg works for some, but not all of these. The previous photo, :File:A man standing in forest.jpg wasn't very good - the man is wearing baggy trousers, isn't very prominent within the image and the surroundings are very distracting.

"Jean Paulgnard" as an alias for Marat is not cited and suspect.  The notion that the word "poignard" derives from this dubious alias is even more dubious:  Marat died in 1793; the English "poniard" is attested at least as early as 1623 (Shakespeare 1st Folio).  See, e.g., Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing, II.1:  "She speaks poniards, and every word stabs."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.74.33.26 (talk) 22:04, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
