Talk:Don Denkinger

message: I've noticed that somebody has on two different occasions, removed the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals catagories from the Don Denkinger page.  I absolutely don't appreciate whomever is doing this.  Don Denkinger is a very important and vital figure in the history of both franchises (especially the Cardinals).  Denkinger's likely fate changing actions in the 1985 World Series is what he's best remembered for.  User:TMC1982
:I have not removed them, but I must disagree.  If this were true, then any umpire who made a bad call becomes a part of that team's history.  This sounds like WP:OR .... though I know it is closer to being WP:NPOV ... an opinion that I don't think is shared by all. LonelyBeacon (talk) 00:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I must disagree with you, and so would Denkinger himself.  There are regular bad calls, and then there are epicly bad calls.  Denkinger's was the latter, and it changed the outcome of the World Series.  Without the gift of Denkinger's blunder, the Royals would still be in the land of the Astros, Brewers, Padres and Rangers, i.e. they have lost all of their Series appearances.  It is less profound in Cardinals' history only because they have won numerous World Series, but it still took one away, which is quite significant. Jrgilb (talk) 03:01, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  His title? 

message: It looks like the authors of the article have translated ranks literally, eg, "Leutnant zur See (lieutenant at sea)".  Would it not be better to translate these ranks into their English general idomatic equivalents, taking into account that there are specific variations between navies whose service language is English?  So in the case of a Leutnant zur See, we'd just write "Lieutenant".  Literal translations sound clumsy.

UPDATE ( SELECT * FROM authors WHERE ... ) AS t1
SET    state = 'ZZ'

Talk:Vima Kadphises

message: The translation of the kharoshti script in the image legend translate "Mahishwara" as "name of Shiva". 
I think "Mahishwara" here should be translated as "King" or "Lord of the earth" from "Mahi"+"Ishwara". Reference to Shiva is usually done with "Maheshwara" and not "Mahishwara".
But I cannot read Kharoshti. It would be best to get an epigraphist's opinion if the Kharoshti original has an "i" or an "e" syllable.

replies: text: No the RKSP and the Algemeene Bond were separate entities. Its like the difference between the Rooms-Katholieke Staatspartij and the Catholic People's Party, or to some extent the PvdV and the VVD. The leadership and ideology remained the same, while the name and the organization structure changed heavily. In the case of the RKSP/Algemeene Bond, this organizational change was very strong, from a loose club of independent catholic MPs, it became a "real" party, with strong social ties and party organization.
