Talk:Hawaiian Alphabet

message: First it says 12 letters and one mark, then it goes on to describe two marks. Are there two or does one not count? Which one is the mark in question?
:The glottal stop (‘) is letter-like in that it represents a particular phoneme that stands on its own, but it doesn't seem to generally be regarded as a letter per se, probably because it's not one of the original Latin letters or a derivative. The macron is a diacritical mark which modifies letters, not a standalone letter or letter-like symbol. --Brion VIBBER 12:24 Aug 9, 2002 (PDT)
And are we sure it has twelve letter because 13 is unlucky? I thought that was a European superstition
- i heard thats why it had only 12 letters. Possibly and this is only a guess the alphabet arrived because of european traders. tell me if i am wrong. - fonzy
:Sounds like a silly urban legend / e-mail forward useless "fact" to me. If you have a source, please cite it. --Brion VIBBER
- i got the fact from a book i read ages ago (not a joke book) a decent factual book. Altough could be one of those things that ppl mistake. Like when people think SOS means Save Our Souls (which it doesn't). I will try to find the name of the book. - fonzy--
- I'd say an urban legend. The number of letters was determined by early missionaries from (mostly) New England.  I doubt these were people promoting superstitions. Marshman

Okay, this line:
:Native Hawaiians had no written language.
Surely you want to say that they had no written language until such-and-such a date.  The whole article is about writing, after all!  Obviously, NO one had a written language until they did -- the only reason to make this point is to specify when the writing system developed.  Also, I understand that "native" Hawai'ians is meant to distinguish them from Whites, Chinese, and others -- but the article should be consistent.  Either always say "native Hawai'ian," or always just say "Hawai'ian" (as in language, alphabet, whatever.)Slrubenstein

Come to think of it, is there any real reason for this to be a separate article? The same subject is covered in Hawaiian language, and I don't see much point in duplicating it. --Brion 18:45 Aug 29, 2002 (PDT)
I agree.  This material can be easily merged into the Hawaiian Language page.  When I have time I will send to VfD Marshman 18:25, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I informed a recently active admin, who does not want to get involved. Hopefully you will engage in discussion instead of ignoring this message. The issue is not whether you or I consider Hezbollah a terrorist group; the issue is that Wikipedia's policy is to refrain from using such characterizations without attribution.

Talk:Tyropoeon Valley

message: Anybody know who "Robinson" was? -- Zoe
:Robinson was one of the first archeologists to conduct a scientific survey of the Holy Land. His most important excavations were conducted in Jerusalem, especially on the supporting walls of the Temple Mount and in David's City (modern Silwan). Danny
::Thanks, Danny.  Do you know his full name so we can do a link to him?  -- Zoe
:::Edward Robinson, called the Father of Biblical Archeology. Personally, I think the honor should go to Kenyon, but who am I to argue with tradition (besides, then it would be Mother of Biblical Archeology). Danny
::::Robinson's Gate was discovered in, I think, the 1980s, not to be a bridge across the valley: no remains beyond the first arch were found.  It is now thought to have been a single arch, followed by steps leading down to the street alongside the Western Wall.  Warren's Arch, further north, was the bridge that spanned the valley.  However, I am not an expert on this issue, so I am reluctant to alter the main article. Michael Grant 12:27, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Initially everything here was copied & pasted word for word from Easton. Public domain or not, but that's VERY poor, and probably not allowed, either.
Both Easton's text and the 2 maps are wholly outdated. I removed the worst one, somebody thankfully took out Robinson's Arch, but that's just the beginning.

thread_title: Copied from Easton & unknown source, outdated, unfinished

message: It was the "outer valley" just as long as the city only covered the eastern ridge, but once it grew westwards (twice: before Babylonian destruction, and again from, probably, the Hasmonean period and until the Roman destruction), it was the central valley, and that's how it's called by archaeologists, capitalised or not.

thread_title: "Central Valley"

message: Herod built an impressive thoroughfare through the valley, at least along its Temple Mount section. The stepped street with its grand water channel leading down toward Siloam Pool, apparently the work of Pilate, followed the valley and earlier, more modest streets and channels. Most have enWiki pages by now: links!
The Roman & Byzantine valley cardo ran along it, as does the Tariq al-Wad/Rehov HaGai, both names meaning: the valley street. The modern names prove that it might not be a ravine anymore, but neither is it a plain. Arminden (talk) 18:43, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I added the range diagram that's used in the Cornet article.  The "double C" in parentheses seems kind of random - there's no real top note on brass instruments.  The C above the staff is often where fingering charts stop and it seems that picking any note above that as a "highest" note is pretty arbitrary. Special-T (talk) 21:10, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Range diagram 

message: Thought I should post here too. In this discussion I was proposing an organization for trumpet articles. In summary, it's a proposal to limit the scope of this article to the valved Western brass instrument, basically just bass trumpet through piccolo trumpet and all of the various keys. Slide trumpets, cornets, etc. could go into some article Trumpet family.
I'm not sure if it would be worthwhile to have separate articles like B-flat trumpet and C trumpet. The information in those articles would be mostly duplicates. I just worry that by trying to talk about all "trumpets" in one article it leads to an inability to generalize. Plus, some classification systems basically consider all brass instruments "trumpets".

replies: text: Hi! I'm not sure if it's entirely equivalent but I've been involved with unpicking the Types of trombone article into its various constituent articles (so far cimbasso, contrabass, bass, alto, and soprano), so that we can most likely merge it back to a table or a "Types" section of the trombone article instead.

thread_title:  laguages without 

message: I think this is not right: "Catalan, Occitan, Spanish, and Italian have [m], [n], [ɲ] as phonemes, and [ɱ] and [ŋ] as allophones."
In catalan there is for example "fan" (they do) and "fang" (clay), which are pronounced differently (the consonants are pronounced exactly like they would be in English or German for example). There aren't many words ending with "ng" but there are quite a lot ending in "nc" which are pronunced /ng/ by most speakers.
Examples: sang (blood), reng (row), then there are many words of English origin like "ring", "parking", etc, which are pronounced with /ng/.
Examples with "nc": vinc (I come), cinc (five), tinc (I have), zenc (zinc), venc (I sell). Well, probably hundreds of verbs in singular first person.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.4.188.247 (talk) 21:14, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

:"Largemouth bass can usually be found in large structures, such as submerged branches, logs or rocks.  The largemouth is known to be one of the best "fighters" and a ferocious predator attacking just about anything that moves. Largemouth have even been known to eat ducklings and baby alligators. The world record largemouth bass was caught near Jacksonville, Georgia on June 2, 1932 by George Perry. It weighed 22 pounds 4 ounces and was caught from an oxbow lake off the Ocmulgee River called Montgomery Lake. This is one of the most sought-after records in the fishing world. Lake Eufaula is known as the "Bass Fishing Capital of the World." In a local pond you can probably catch a 2 lb., 20 in. large mouth bass."
