Talk:Shichi-Go-San

message: "Shichigosan" is a nonstandard romanization of 七五三.  A simple websearch will reveal that nearly all sites devoted to this topic use the term "Shichi-Go-San" to drawn distinction between the separate elements of the word and make it more readable.  I saw no reason why Wikipedia should be different, so I repaired all the links I could (the current events page is read-only) and moved the site here.  I'm sorry if I missed a link, but I think it's good to fix this problem before even more pages incorrectly reference "Shichigosan" - Exitmoose 06:31, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: About moving "Shichigosan" to "Shichi-Go-San"

message: I propose merging chitoseame into this article for the following reason:
* Chitoseame is a term which is narrated (and be eaten) only about shichi-go-san.
* History of chitoseame is half-overlapping with shichi-go-san.
* If a mention of shichi-go-san is removed from the chitoseame's article, only the description about a method of manufacture will remain. It will not become deep article. --Nightshadow28 15:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merging 

message: Googling seems to confirm it is indeed Shichi-go-san, wondering how come? Isn't the normal Japanese for the number seven "nana"? I've only ever seen "shichi" used in westernized karate counting (along with "shi" instead of "yon" for 4), and at that time believed it an erroneous Chinese reading of a character... Is there some sort of formal, respectful, or archaic tone conveyed by using shichi instead??  68.183.124.21 (talk) 00:28, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

However, that article had been previously redirected on 25 July 2010 to a later creation, List of towns in Malta and Gozo (which now also redirects here, in parallel). On 27 November 2017, which article redirected to which was switched, but, contrary to the edit summary, the text that had been at List of towns in Malta was not restored; instead the text at List of towns in Malta and Gozo was copy-pasted in.

Talk:The Woods (album)

: I agree.
 and finds them moving towards a denser, heavier sound, clearly owing debt to classic rock acts such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
: This sentence is problematic. The sound of the classic Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath albums is a lot different from what we hear on The Woods. While the former have superb mastering and clean sound with a high dynamic range, later is quite the opposite of that: clippressed, limited dynamic range and a lot of distortion because of destructive mastering.--Pettsams 14:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Carida error 

message: Anyone seriously interested in improving the article should consider adding some real world related info, e.g. regarding the concept, creation, and/or function of the character within the Star Wars narrative etc. Please consult our writing about fiction guideline, which also includes a list of exemplary articles.
There are currently three featured articles on Star Wars characters: Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, and Jabba the Hutt. What sets them aside from most of the other SW character articles is the effort to write from the real world perspective. Pay particular attention to paragraphs like Jabba the Hutt#Concept and creation, Palpatine#Concept and creation, and Padmé Amidala#Characterization.
Also take a look at Darth Vader, which despite its lack of reliable, published third-party secondary sources features interesting sections on e.g. #Character creation and concepts and Darth Vader as a #Cultural figure.
Even though reliable sources may be tough to come up with, any effort to introduce coherently written real world aspects will be greatly appreciated, because it contributes to the depth of the article and accurate coverage of the topic, and thereby makes for an improved reading experience and increases the encyclopedic value of the article.

Talk:The Killing of a Chinese Bookie

message: I've added three sources refering to the film as a crime film. Allmovie, a site used by notable sources such as the New York Times. The British Film Institte has a whole section dedicated to the film in it's book on crime films, and the company that released the film on home video Criteron Collection, in an essay by Phillip Lopate states that The Killing of a Chinese Bookie "Cassavetes even fulfills the genre contract with action sequences (rare for him) that involve shootings, chases, and sinister underlit garages, perhaps drawing on his own past experience as an actor in crime movies.". I have three strong sources aligning it to a genre. Just because it fits it in, doesn't mean it's going to be like Scarface or something. Crime films can very in style and artfulness anyways.

Talk:Blue lobster

message: Several issues come up here:
# Blue lobsters are, as far as I know, not rare. Almost all European lobsters, for instance, are blue until cooked, when they take on the familiar red colour. See the image on the European lobster page, which depicts a lobster which is clearly blue.
# Even if blue colour morphs are rare in the American lobster, then that should be mentioned as a paragraph at most in the article about American lobsters. It is hardly a big enough topic to warrant its own article.
# I couldn't be bothered to correct the spelling.
On the basis of the above points, I've changed blue lobster to a redirect. --Stemonitis 07:59, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

-Tahrey
To clarify, it is pronounced as the adjective and not the verb. Thus with vowel reduction is the unstressed syllable of the adjective, /ɔ:l'tɜ:nət/ compared to the verb /ɔ:l'tɜ:neɪt/. Some (especially North Americans) would also have the adjective stressed on the first syllable /'ɔ:ltɜ:nət/.

Talk:List of Japanese typographic symbols

message: The last row of the column at  shows a single circle in the first cell, and then gives “marumaru” as the name. So what's the name for “two of them”, as described in the ‘usage’ column? marumarumarumaru? Either way, that should be made clear in the name column.

thread_title: NPOV Problem

message: 84.157.86.77 added the following to the Fleet section of the article:
 Beside that press release from starbulletin mentioned under (5), other reliable sources show only five
 Cessna 208B Grand Caravan aircraft, with registrations N301PW up to N305PW. Maybe that article messed
 up with a previously owned Cessna 402C, which left alredy the fleet from pacific wings.
I reverted this edit because it was both unsourced (it states "other reliable sources" without citing any) and rather speculative, guessing that the Star-Bulletin made an error.  If a more recent reliable source can be cited with the current fleet size, then great and let's update the article.  Certainly fleet plans change and we should keep up to date, let's do it without the speculation. -- Hawaiian717 18:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
