I don't think this is correct. I think that, to the Chinese, winter begins some time in the Gregorian November. --User:Juuitchan (moved from article proper) -- till we ☼☽ | Talk 23:18, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: In agreement with Bart above... Hemispherical Chauvanism? Modern astronomical convention has changed from using the term Winter Solstice to the now preferred "December Solstice" since the December solstice is the winter one for folks north of the tropics yet the same December one is the SUMMER Solstice for folks south of the tropics.
These articles seem to be more about folk calendar customs related to the Solstice associated with winter but we must remember that the "winter" themes originating in the astronomical event would properly be associated with the JUNE Solstice were you living in the South temperate Zone.Earrach (talk) 17:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

message: What, if anything, is the moon doing during this solstice? I heard somewhere that the moon is closest to the earth at the northern hemi's winter solstice.

thread_title:  Serialization of non-null terminated strings 

message: Hello everyone,
I am planning to make some edits to the history and XML data binding sections of the XML Wikipedia page to improve the accuracy and readability of the content. Before I begin editing, I wanted to share my plan for these edits so that the community can provide feedback and suggestions.
In the history section, I plan to provide more context on the development of XML and the challenges faced by the working group during this process. Specifically, I will add more detail on the role of the Interest Group in supporting the working group, the major design decisions made during the development of XML, and the impact of XML since its release.
In the XML data binding section, I plan to clarify the benefits of this approach for simplifying code development, and the types of applications for which it is most suitable. I will also provide examples of how XML data binding can improve code quality and make it easier to work with XML data in modern development environments.
Overall, my goal is to improve the accuracy and readability of the XML Wikipedia page, while providing useful information for developers and users of XML. I welcome any feedback or suggestions on these proposed edits, and I look forward to working with the community to improve this important resource. Dayibahmed (talk) 04:41, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Before the establishment of the mandate, there wasn't even a political unit called Palestine but only some districts within (and one, the district of Jerusalem, even outside) the Ottoman province of Syria, so there were some Arabs and fewer Jews but no Palestinians back then.

message: Why were the references to Arafat's alleged bisexuality left out of this article? There are multiple sources online that mention this; One of the most important ones being the memoirs of Ion Mihai Pacepa (the former head of Romanian intelligence and the highest-ranking intelligence officer to have defected from the Soviet Union) - see Disinformation_(book) and Red Horizons. It is relevant given the indications that he might have died of AIDS. I can only surmise that it was left out as it is "taboo", which is a sad statement on Wikipedia in 2024... At the very least it should have been mentioned.
