Talk:Eastern Polynesian languages

message: As I said on the talk of the Hawaiian language article, I am having a problem with the classification of Hawaiian on the main article.  It places the language into the Tahitic subfamily of the Polynesian language family.  Hawaiian shares 56% of its basic vocabulary with that of Nuku Hiva Marquesan (Marquesic), and only 46% with that of Tahitian (Tahitic).  Although exceptions in Rarotongan are found, it is not due to close genetic relationship, but instead to conservativism in retaining old vocabulary in both languages, according to Larry Kimura in his article Native Hawaiian Culture.  Should a re-categorization be discussed?  -Ano-User (talk) 03:22, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A couple days ago, I put a [dubious-discuss] citation mark after the classification of Hawaiian as a "Tahitic" Polynesian language.  As I recently changed the classification of 'Ōlelo Hawai'i as a Marquesic language, I may change the classification on this one as well.  I'll give a few hours for discussion on the classification if the original authors of this article would like, but after a few hours I will have to reclassify the language. -Ano-User (talk) 14:47, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've done an alternative classification of the Eastern Polynesian languages right below the original classification.  I have not deleted the original because I recently found (to my embarrassment) that the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database does have, on a figure template, what the article was saying about probabilities and whatnot.  It is still open for discussion though!  -Ano-User (talk) 15:41, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi - I run the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database and did those analyses. You're quite right, our results place Hawaii incorrectly - this is very probably the result of unidentified loan words in our database. We're currently trying to clear this up. The orthodox accepted grouping places Hawaiian in Marquesic. If there are any other questions, don't hesitate to ask! - Simon (talk) 08:20, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey Mr. Greenhill!  I had no idea that you had a connection with Wikipedia!  I was going to cite you, or Robert Blust, as the creator of the template at first, but it doesn't have any copy rights by anyone, so I just put "courtesy Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database" in the references of the main article.  But its good to know that someone is following this article and I am not alone in trying to critique it.  I've always known Hawaiian to be primarily Marquesic with Tahitian influence, per the legendary voyages of Pa'ao, and its good to know you agree with me, haha. :) -Ano-User (talk) 08:46, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas of Monmouth

message: Hello, I will edit the information in this article. I wanted to add some information here that I extracted from "The Murder of William of Norwich The Origins of the Blood Libel in Medieval Europe", a reliable source that deals with the Blood Libel. This source is valid since it was published by Oxford University Press and the author, E.M. Rose is a valid historian. I will mainly add information in the William of Norwich section. Some of the edits I would like to make include how Christians saw William's death as a holy death, how Thomas did not start writing his book until 6 years after the death of William, why Christian Scholars believed Thomas to be a reliable source, how Thomas thought Jews killed William because he did not charge as much as his contemporaries in his practice or because some Jews were wealthy merchants who could afford to pay lots of money for skilled work, and why there was no proper investigation into William's death. I will go in-depth on these changes and will write around 100 words.

message: I like this article because it contains so much table which makes me easily understand the topic. For the source, I saw one of them comes from the UH Manoa library. It proves that you took time to research in the library. Here is some improvement for this article.
 1. " The Language" section confuses me because I don't know it means the whole Rapa language or one specific language in Rapa language. And I don't see any connection between this section and Rapa language. It will be better if you add some words and sentences. 
 2.  As I was reading "classification" section, I feel like it is talk about the phoneme rather than classification. In the right side of this section, I saw the chart of classification. Therefore, summaring that chart will be a good content for classification. 
 3. You talked about different Rapa languages such as Old Rapa, Reo Rapa and so on. Are they sharing same grammar and sentence structure?JIAFU (talk) 06:23, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

message: The sourcing is good, it just needs more sourcing outside of Mary Walworth. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 09:10, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sourcing 

message: The article only describes Reo Rapa vaguely as a "mix" of Tahitian and Old Rapa. From Walworth 2017, especially chapter 3.2 and chapter 5, I'd describe Reo Rapa as a special type of mixed language (Walworth calls this type "shift-break language") similar to, for example, Media Lengua: most content words are from one language (Tahitian), but at least part of the grammatical morphemes (including many pronouns) from another (Old Rapa). As such, Reo Rapa is basically Old Rapa mostly relexified through Tahitian, like an extreme case of borrowing – as Walworth clarifies, Reo Rapa is definitely not a Tahitian dialect (with merely an Old Rapa substratum). However, due to the close relationship between Old Rapa and Tahitian, both being Central–Eastern Polynesian languages, the precise nature of the "mixing" becomes significantly obscured (as Walworth notes), as opposed to a case like Media Lengua, where it is plain obvious which language has contributed exactly what. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 15:33, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

message: In the “Sounds and Phonology” section, the sentence saying: “The velar nasal /ŋ/ is spelled |G| in the orthography.” needs to be elaborated as some readers do not know what orthography is. You can go into more detail or link it to an orthography page to help build a better understanding.
That same sentence also needs to be cited. I might be mistaken though because the next citations could be it’s cite source, but I am unsure.
In the “Comparison with other Polynesian…” section, the last sentence was kind of difficult to comprehend. Make the examples more clear; why is the plural prefix mau different than the other languages. Jameleeanneb (talk) 19:01, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Herb Bernstein

message: There are currently two faux footnotes in the article which are really links to general web pages. The casual reader may be fooled into supposing that this article is partially sourced (indeed I suspect that is the intention: to deceive), but in fact the article currently has no sources whatsoever. It's easy to verify that Herb Bernstein was an arranger and record producer, but I find the assertions that he was also a professional baskeball player and the originator of the "Welcome Back, Kotter" television show premise quite remarkable. I certainly should not be surprised to learn that there was once a professional basketball player named Herbert Bernstein--Herbert Bernstein is after all a very common name--but that wouldn't mean that this Herbert Bernstein necessarily once played professional basketball. The "Welcome Back, Kotter" claims would seem to contradict various Internet sources about the origin of the show's premise.

thread_title: Merger

message: I'm failing this article as a GA for a number of reasons that I don't see can be addressed in a short time.
* Broadness
** The article is very US-Centric. It must cover the topic much more widely
** Law spans thousands of years, advertising many hundreds but the article mentions nothing prior to 1977. A section on the history of advertising of legal firms is required. The article suffers from Recentism
** Misses having the legal (and historic ) basis for banning advertising by lawyers, why this is objected to and what arguments over time have been used on both sides - whether successful or not. 
** Far too short - expanding to the rest of the world and expanding the timeframe will probably correct this
* Well written
** I would suggest a peer review after the material is expanded as currently there are many single sentence paragraphs and grammar mistakes (like 1990's rather than 1990s )
** Article contradicts itself at least once. At the beginning the term is said to cover "marketing and public relations" but the last section before the references confuses this. 
* References
** While many of the references are acceptable the blog link, and the two notes about internet searches should be replaced with published and printed sources. These new sources are most likely to result in the referenced text changing as well
** Printed paper sources are best for a subject like this. The internet is unlikely to reveal anything significant beyond the last 20-30 years.
