Talk:Major Fred C. Dobbs

message: Why is this considered the worst episode? A citation needed, I believe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.207.46.190 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 2 November 2007
:It is completely implausible for this to be the "Worst Episode". I believe this is a case of vandalism. Should we delete that point?Simpson, Bart (talk) 18:50, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is now cited.  The relevant text in Wittebols' book is: "Some shows were embarassing for those involved in production: Many of the cast and creative team cite "Major Fred C. Dobbs" as the worst."  It then goes into some detail about why the plot, which hinges on Hawkeye and Trapper trying to trick Frank and Margaret into staying at the 4077th for fear of them being replaced with someone worse, is incompatible with the characters' motivations as established in previous episodes. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Pungo River

message: The article currently reads that the Pungo river "originally began in the Great Dismal Swamp in Washington County, North Carolina." The name of this wetland/swamp feature is ambiguous at best, and at worst very easily confused with the much better-known Great Dismal Swamp about a hundred miles north on the state border with VA. I would suggest changing it to at least alleviate the confusion.
If anyone would like to get into the weeds with swamp etymology, here is an excerpt from John Paul Lily's "The Big Swamp":
"...this wetland has no common name. McDonald and Ash (1981) simply refer to the whole peninsula from the Suffolk Scarp to the Alligator River as the "Washington-Hyde-Tyrrell Pocosin System". On county road maps, the western portion in Washington and Beaufort counties is called The East Dismal Swamp, but this name is seldom used. Instead, parts have been given names related primarily to land development activity. Names such as the Parker Tract, Wenona, Wonderland, Terra Cecia, North Slope, South Slope, North Line, Carolina Meadows, Grassy Ridge, Hyde Park, and probably others. Drainage of the southern portion is to the Pamlico Sound by way of Bath Creek, the Pungo River, and other streams. Drainage of the northern part is to the Albemarle Sound by way of Conaby Creek, Mackeys Creek, and the Scuppernong River" 173.95.80.250 (talk) 19:21, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Simpsons/Style guide

message: I was considering jumping in to work on episode pages, since in my opinion, many of them could use some work. But I hesitate because I am not sure how to handle the "cultural references" and/or "trivia" sections that make up a major part of most of the episode pages. I personally think that they are valuable sections to have (although not all the information in them should necessarily stay), as satire and parody are part of the foundation of The Simpsons, and I think it's relevant to make note of how the episodes relate to the greater culture in ways which might be awkward in the middle of a plot synopsis. That said, I also understand the perspective of the Wikipedians who point out that trivia sections aren't appropriate for an encyclopedia article. I think the two perspectives could be balanced, but I wanted to hear the input of established members of the project before I jump in and start "being bold". Thoughts? norm77 21:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Wadi Saluki

message: Is it accurate to call this a "battle"? A mere 80 terrorists were fighting of Lebanese side, and Israel deployed just 24 tanks. Battle is way to noble name for such a minor event. I would call it a "skirmish".Keverich1 (talk) 18:31, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why not just "Israeli victory". 

message: In the article, it is clearly stated that the Israeli forces achieved their target. This differs from what is stated in the infobox, where it says that the outcome of the battle was rather a halt of the advancement of Division 162. I don't think what is said in the infobox can be accurate, as it is not clearly said that the division had clear orders to advance further. The advance would have stopped anyway, as the war was coming to an end at this point. I am not able to access the source used by Freepsbane, and am therefore unable to verify this. Could someone take a look at it? --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 15:46, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Also the section with the Ending is not only clearly labelled, but one has to scroll down before they reach it so I think it's reasonable that the plot stays.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by David-Ryan (talk • contribs) 07:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Fixed. Redirected from Thai Yuan to Northern Thai people and fixed the template as well.  "Khon Mueang" might have been better, but I chose "Northern Thai people" for symmetry with Northern Thai language.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 05:17, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Northern Thai language]]

message: The tern Thai Yuan is considered pejorative, but I've yet to find a published source to state specifically why. One may get a sense of why from the article on the Dali Kingdom. I added:Historians, however, relate that the "traitor" was the last king of Dali, himself, who first fought and then surrendered to the forces of Kublai Khan, to be spared and later appointed by Möngke Khan (also known as Mengu) as the region's first Native Chieftain.
Du Yuting; Chen Lufan (1989) give ample reason to surmise the last king of Dali was the first Thai Yuan, and that the term subsequently applied to native chieftains subservient to the Yuan dynasty. —Pawyilee (talk) 05:36, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

replies: text:  I believe the title should be moved as well, as the current name is Thailand-centric (the ethnic group is found in Laos as well) and easily confused with "people from northern Thailand". Considering the earlier comments, and if you agree, I would think we have established a concensus. --Glennznl (talk) 21:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Kham Mueang is probably the more usual term for referring to the language, and "Northern Thai" is widely used, like it or not. Further input seems warranted. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:29, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

text: Oops, I thought this was the language article. For the people, the matching title would be khon mueang, though the term doesn't seem as common. A double RM might be the way to go. --Paul_012 (talk) 23:05, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Schooner?

message: To the bibliography (Further Reading), add C L Douglas, Thunder on the Gulf (1936); and Tom Henderson Wells, Commodore Moore and the Texas Navy (1960). 
Reading the histories of the Texas Navy closely, I found they often contradict each other; that is, one said the Zavala was off the Yucatan but another said it was in Galveston on a given date. 
However, all the histories agree that a shot from the Austin carried away the smokestack of the Guadaloupe (I believe), which reduced the draft in the burner for her steam engine. She turned to run for port on the steam remaining and the Montezuma (or Moctezuma) followed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.229.94.76 (talk) 15:58, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Reflective equilibrium

message: The example from 'The Bible' of reflective equilibrium is unnecessarily provocative and controversial.  It's also simplistic and inaccurate.  No serious theologian takes the two passages cited as an example of a contradiction or even a paradox that demands the kind of work done toward reflective equilibrium.  New Testament ethics is an extremely difficult subject matter, and it's highly controversial.  Moreover, it makes no sense to use a controversial example, one that's wrapped up in 2000 years of theology and context, etc., when there are easily available examples that are uncontroversial and easier to understand.  For this reason, I propose that another example be offered, perhaps one from the literature.
Note also that it makes no sense to cite "The Bible" without directing the reader to which Bible.  The Bible is not a book by one author, and the contents of "The Bible" are disputed.  Whoever wrote this particular section of this article is too ignorant to be working in this subject matter.  Tylerscot (talk) 03:11, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the example is controversial and unsuitable. That said, it's about an ordinary person, e.g. a Christian fundie such as do exist in the world; this has nothing to do with what you deign to consider a "serious theologian". And by the way, of course a "serious theologian" won't recognize that there is an obvious and ridiculously simple problem that discredits the scriptures; after all, if a person is inclined to recognize such a thing, he will have realized that "serious theologian" is an oxymoron and then he won't have become a theologian in the first place. A scholar of religion, perhaps, but not a "scholar of God", which is what a theologian is supposed to be.--91.148.130.233 (talk) 21:45, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poor, controversial example of reflective equilibrium 

message: I think you might want to write more about reflective equilibrium's contentiousness by published authors or simply thought. For instance, you might include that RE is actually circular because in the end you end up just asserting your own beliefs and intuitions. You might also write that RE might actually lead to asserting things which are unjust, because your intuitions might actually be completely wrong. In any case, it would be worth examining in the article. 70.72.45.131 (talk) 00:31, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Lua people

message: Is this article about the Lua people of Nan province, Thailand?
The article mainly mentions Lua people being from Laos but when I search the Laos map on www.ethnologue.com, I find no mention of Lua people there. I do find an article about the Lua language in Thailand on www.ethnologue.com which mentions the language being spoken by only 6,280 people who live only in the north-east corner of Nan province.
According to another source, a list compiled by the Center of Ethnic Studies and Development (CESD) of the faculty of Social Sciences of Chiangmai University, there are 22,260 speakers of the Lua language. It would seem that the CESD applies a different language categorisation and perhaps includes related languages such as Mai and Prai within their Lua group?
