message: Can someone who knows please put in the proper pronunciation for this word?
Preferably using IPA.  Thanks!   brain (talk) 00:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Can't type in IPA, unfortunately, but the pronunciation has a stress on the second vowel, which is long. The others are short. "dh" is a breathy form of the letter "d". The first vowel is "schwa". Moonsell (talk) 08:53, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  IPA for Samadhi 

message: The pronunciation given for the Chinese characters was incomplete (two syllables of pinyin given for a three syllable word, and no pronunciation for the second set of three at all) so I corrected that. Also I deleted "or 定" - originally it said "sānmèi 三昧地  or 三摩地 or 定." Was this meant to mean that 定 is an alternate name for samadhi, or that 三摩定 is an alternate way of writing it? It was unclear, and I couldn't find the answer after searching the web, so I deleted it. Feel free to add it back in a more clear fashion if it is in fact correct in some way. Ningakpok (talk) 04:23, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Chinese sanmei (two characters) is the most common term for samadhi in East Asia. Like many transliterations of Sanskrit terms, it leaves off the last syllable (cf. Amitabha Buddha => Emituo Fo). The longer sanmodi (three characters) is the less common transliteration of samadhi, but is more accurate. Ding (one character) is an extremely common term for samadhi, but is a translation (meaning fixity or concentration) rather than a transliteration. All three terms are correct, but sanmei and ding are most common. Sanmei was used by Kumarajiva's translations, while Xuanzang's translations generally use ding instead.

thread_title: Chinese transliteration

message: Also started a discussion on Talk:Samadhi.</br>
There are two very substantial articles on the (for me, single) subject of Samādhi: Samadhi ("Hinduist version") and Samadhi (Buddhism). The best would be to have one article for the common elements in both views. No question to say that one Dharma is better than the other. Just would like to point to the fact that the lemma Samādhi is essentially available. Wakari07 (talk) 02:22, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the samadhi page is a general one that covers Hinduism, Buddhism, and a little bit of Sikhism. It could be expanded with more material, and is not exclusively for samadhi in Hinduism. Tengu800 11:43, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Calder Park Raceway

message: I think it would be a good idea to merge the two together, I seen the Thunderdome one and decided to create this one for the main circuit, merging the two together would be great. Also the additional information and layout changes you provided to the article are very well done, it looks more presentable now. I am new to wikipedia so thought I would upload some pictures and information to get things started. (Virtualr84 16:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Merge done. The Thunderdome section might still have some bits better moved to either History or Motorsport sections. I'm also not certain I put the main Thunderdome section in the right place, but it seemed "less bad" there than anywhere else. There is conflicting info about what the first/only race on the Grand Prix circuit was, and who won it (follow the season link) - I tagged both versions as needing references. The article would improve with a photo of racing on the Thunderdome, and perhaps a World Touring Car race photo if we could find one. --Scott Davis Talk 12:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mandela: The Authorised Biography

message: de klerk in his own words about the relation with mandela and the tensions about the "third force question" (the support of the IFP by state security agencies): "Our fights that you refer to, our tensions, which were quite severe at times during my presidency especially, centered around, both from his side and my side, some people within our institutions and systems acting against our orders and policies, continuing undercover activities which were actually totally in conflict with the policies which we were trying to advance and the agreements which we were trying to reach" (interview with stengel, see the de klerk article).
it must also be mentioned that malan and vlok were both dismissed as ministers by de klerk; and that mandela and de klerk today -as far as i can judge- have a good relation. 
about gregory: he was invited by mandela to his presidental inauguration in 1994 (as his ex-prison-guard!) and -if i remember correctly- to his 80th birthday. but its true that gregorys book-publication was questionable. --Severino 16:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Necklacing was not "practised" by Winnie Mandela - which implies that she personally necklaced several people.  The link between Winnie and necklacing is that she made a speech in which she seemed to support the practice. Nor was she "punished" for it - she was widely criticised, but her criminal convictions were for other things not related to necklacing. Bill, the wording is misleading, POV, and needs to be changed.

:I was wondering that myself. I saw one of those two in Fry's recently, and I'm assuming that they're newer models of the same phone. Does the name "HTC Apache" apply to the entire series or just to the 6700? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 17:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Was this part of an outbreak, or one isolated tornado? CrazyC83 04:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand it was an isolated event; we don't get tornados here in the UK, so here it was headline national news. Had there been at outbreak, anyone turning on a news channel would hear little else for weeks. Which in itself, going off-topic for a second, establishes notability - the unusual location. Blood red sandman 07:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, we get tornados - the current average is apparently 45-50 a year from what the guy from TORRO said on BBC News 24 last night. As you say though, the issue is on of both strength and location. For a strong tornado to hit Londn is a pretty rare thing, as seen by the eyewitnesses saying "It was like the wizard of Oz", etc. It was big news in the UK (and some media outlets still insisted on calling it a "mini tornado".)

from Jim Womack, Chairman and CEO of Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI)
'a root causes of muda in many organizations' and 
'more variation in activities than called for by customer behavior'
I'm very confused after checking this disambig. page. One page says that "mura" translates as "village", the other says it translates to "inconsistency". Is it both?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.243.253 (talk) 02:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: This was my thinking (OP here), that it could be some sort of homophone or case of polysemy. I know very little about Japanese and couldn't get a hold of a friend who minored in it, but I was able to piece together some evidence that "village" and "irregularity" share the same katakana [むら], but have different kanji. The best legitimate source I found was at this Japanese-English dictionary. Cheers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.243.253 (talk) 19:12, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Aquarium du Québec

message: Dates are not supposed to be linked (see WP:DATE#Linking and autoformatting of dates). Please do NOT add those links back. Anniversaries are not notable -- they follow inevitably from the start date and are not encyclopedic information, unless it's something like "To coincide with the 50th anniversary, the XYZ display was opened to the public." The fact that the organization celebrated its 50th anniversary 50 years after it was founded is hardly encyclopedic. I removed the reference you added back because it's a single paragraph that doesn't provide any useful extra information. A reference for the sake of an entry is just a distraction. If there is something specific that you think it adds, please put it in as a citation at that location in the article. If you don't know how to cite, just enclose the URL in single square brackets and  tags, and someone else can expand it. However, I didn't see any particular use for this reference.

thread_title:  User box 

message: Chanceinator asked me this question on my talk page () and I am going to answer it here, since it could impact this category: 
:I noticed (or at least think I did?) that you started the category for LDS wikipedians
:I noticed in the definition of Latter Day Saint that it refers to the movement while Latter-day Saint refers to a member of the Salt Lake-based The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  To conform to wikipedia formatting (as well as the LDS Church formatting of "Latter-day Saint,"), do you think we should move/retitle the category? Thanks! 
I didn't start the category, I just made the user box...  Short answer: I'm not sure.  Long answer: I think "Latter Day Saints" is a group that includes "Latter-day Saints".  While most of the users in the category identify themselves specifically as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there are a few that don't mention to which (if any) of the organizations they belong.  I don't think it's inaccurate to refer to any of them as "Latter Day Saints".
A Wikipedia category purist (if such a thing exists) would create a sub-category of "Latter-day Saint Wikipedians" below "Latter Day Saint Wikipedians".  The user box could then be modified to add users to the new (sub) category.  People who don't use the box would have to move themselves, if they so desire. Jaksmata 20:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
