Talk:Toddy

message: It appears that we have two articles on the same subject. In Africa, this drink is called palm wine, while in India, it is called toddy. Then there is further disambiguation to do, as in much of the world, a completely different drink is called hot toddy or just toddy (of which we have an article). Palm wine was recently merged into toddy, but I believe that that only further confuses the issue.
Here is what I propose:
#The palm toddy information from toddy gets merged to palm wine.
#The hot toddy information at toddy gets merged to hot toddy.
#Toddy becomes a disambiguation page that points to both palm wine and hot toddy.

message: Vigan vas changed to Seville by  66.30.113.132 I think this should be verified --Melaen 13:41, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Maybe the references to the contacts between Henry Kissinger and Max Soliven are derived from proximate sources. However it does seem odd. According to Kissinger's own Wikipedia entry, he earned his M.A. degree from Harvard in 1952, or one year after Soliven earned his Ph.D from the same university. Seems unlikely that an M.A. student would be deemed worthy enough to teach Ph.D classes at Harvard. 
Also the quote about Romulus and Adidas is also attributed to Larry Henares. The quote seems more typical Henares than Kissinger.

thread_title: Henry Kissinger and Max Soliven

message: To the one who commented the "accompanied" part: I fixed this section to make the intended meaning clear: I believe that what the author of that trivia meant was that MVS was jailed with other journalists and political figures.
The anomaly of choosing "accompanied", IMO, was a carry-over of what might be idiomatic Tagalog but cannot be translated in English; whoever wrote that passage must be thinking of:
:Si MVS ay ibinilanggo kasama nila Mitra, Aquino...
but, when literally translated, could be rendered as:
:MVS was jailed accompanied by Mitra, Aquino...
and my best guess was that the original writer was writing along the lines of kasama in the sense of samáhan (to accompany).
At any rate, I rewrote it to its present form:
:MVS was jailed along with...
Hope this rewrite expresses it clearly. --- Tito Pao 14:45, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Machine tool

message: Under History it says that the first crucial industry for machine tool development in medieval Europe was firearms, followed by clocks. According to Richard Currier in Unbound, it was clocks that came first, in the 13th century. Were machine tools really being used to make firearms before this? I know the first use of firearms in England was not until the 14th century and the 'industry' must have been tiny even at that point. LastDodo (talk) 10:29, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: If we include ancient clocks such as Greek water clocks or the pretty mysterious Antikythera mechanism (which is believed to be a type of astronomical clock/calendar) then clocks would far pre-date firearms.

message: The article says mokume-gane literally translates as wood eye metal, where wood eye refers to burls.  This is not quite correct.  Mokume can be broken down to wood and eye kanji, but the word itself means wood-grain.  (The "literal translation" from individual kanji is nonsense; it would be like "literally translating" English based on sections of words, eg "alphabet" literally translating into "first gamble".)  It also is not limited specifically to burls.  The transliteration should be "wood-grain metal" ("metal wood-grain" would be even closer to the proper meaning, but would be less literal).

message: User:Khaosworks: thanks for the clarification on the wording that you changed back, after I moved all that stuff from the O'Neill article; I hope there's not much else that I obscured while trying to streamline the text. However, I do think we ought to strike the bit about O'Neill's "penchant for exaggeration". No matter how accurate that may be, without background it just looks like a bit of snarky POV, and in an encyclopedia article it's hard to address such things properly. The sources we refer to have it covered, I think - and the phrase "conflicting memories of the litigants" includes the contradictory things O'Neill has said. Thanks for all your work on these fascinating articles. ←Hob 15:03, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
