message: The etymology section reads "Local tradition recounts that Christopher Columbus named the island Tortuga, meaning "turtledove" in Spanish. In fact, Columbus named the island as Santa Ana.  Dutch colonists called it Ter Tholen, after a coastal island that is part of the Netherlands. When the British took over, the name evolved to Tortola." Well, maybe that's all true, but can someone find a reliable source saying that this is exactly what the tradition there holds and/or clarifies which part of this is the real origin? Could it be that the "ter Tholen" part is folklore? I'm asking because "tortuga" means "turtle", not "turtledove", in Spanishwhile the Spanish word for "turtledove" is "tórtola". So it's almost as though two different stories are being conflated here, and I'm wondering whether anything more accurate can be said about the matter. Largoplazo (talk) 10:23, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: It was just a thought! Jeez. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.96.210.48 (talk) 18:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The problem is that such a redirect creates a problem with respect to the primary topic of the term Quagmire.  I am willing to agree that with respect to usage, "Glenn Quagmire" may very well be the "quagmire" that the majority of people are looking for when they get on Wikipedia and type the word "quagmire".  However, with respect to long-term significance, this is certainly not the case— Glenn is a television character invented within the past decade; the use of the term for a fen or bog dates back to linguistic roots in Old Teutonic.  If any topic were to become the primary one other than that for a bog or fen, I would still have to vote for the term for a sticky situation before that for the cartoon character, all questions of primacy with regard to usage aside. That's all.   KDS4444Talk 16:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: It looks like there is a lot of great content here, it just needs to be reorganized better. The first major step I would take is to try to wikify the paragraphs, by putting square brackets around any main idea. That can help you determine where paragraph breaks need to be, and how to move sentences around when you are changing topics. I can help on this article a little bit, I have some spare time. Also, the Teahouse is a great place to ask questions, the people there are really awesome.

Talk:Ottoman Bessarabia

message: Although the name is the same, the Turkish Province of Bessarabia and the Russian Province(later on Romanian province) of Bessarabia are two different things. 
Turkish Bessarabia was only the southern part of Russian Bessarabia. In 1806 the Russians occupied only the original Bessarabia which did not include any territory above the city of Tighina. However the Russians mislead everyone by claiming that actually Bessarabia would strech as far north as Hotin and include all Moldovan territory as well, from the Pruth to the Dnister.
I will add more to it of course in order to expand on the article here which for the moment is quite short but I do not think that it should be merged with the Bessarabia article.

Why in the world is this up for "speedy deletion"...the entire article is not biased, and is structured in a very journalistic, reporting style eaily found in other types of media print. Whoever, dubbed it "speedy deletion" needs a lesson in writing and style use.
