Talk:Tantieme

message: I removed the link to the article Profit Sharing (for a second time). This is an English Language encyclopedia. we do not insert the terminiology from the world's languages as link of which French is just one. The word "Tantième" does not exsist in the English language. French speakers looking for information on Tantième do not go to English-language encyclopedias to find it. When English speakers want encyclopedic information on any subject, they do not go to a Chinese directory. Handicapper 21:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is international encyclopeda. Not to say that the provided link is to an english-language source. You will be surprized how many words are deacribed in wikipedia which you cannot find in English dictionaries. Not to say that it is not recommended to drastically edit articles in which you don't have a slightest idea about the topic. `'mikka 22:48, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been asked to give a third opinion on this article. Firstly, I see no harm whatsoever in linking to profit sharing from this article, although a compromise might be to link in the text rather than as a separate disambiguation - something along the lines of "Tantième is a French racehorse... [other stuff]... named for the French term for the share of the profits paid to a company's management.". If it helps one person find the right article, it's worth it.
On the article name, unless Tantième was generally known in the English-speaking world with diacritics (Racing Post back issues perhaps?) - although an international encyclopaedia, this is en.wikipedia.org, not fr.wikipedia.org - I'm afraid there's no real policy on this. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) states that the Latin alphabet should be used, but discussion is still underway as to whether names with diacritics in them should be kept. As page moves are exempt from WP:BOLD, I suggest you hold off and both take part in the discussion underway at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (standard letters with diacritics). --Scott Wilson 00:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Third opinion 

message: The term is unsed in English language. See google search results. Please stop removing the disambiguation link. You are violating wikipedia rules. I have no objections for diacritics now, since I don't monitor what happens now in naming conventions for personal names. `'mikka 00:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

thread_title:  Weasel words  

message: I am removing from the article the sentence: 
The original addition of this line (diff), long before it morphed into this version, was: 
I have just read Usarski and indeed it is covering the subject of coercion from cults as relates to legal cases—not scientific evidence—where he is discussing the dearth of availability of expert witness testimony that can be supplied in a courtroom.
I then obtained a searchable PDF copy of DSM-V and there is no such statement that brainwashing isn't recognized. On the contrary, the word "brainwashing" occurs twice in the book, including:  (page 292) and  (page 306).
I read the DIMPAC article and it is related to the [non]acceptance of Singer's theories on the subject of brainwashing and cults, the result of which was the non-acceptance of her theories in courtrooms and the end of her career as a paid expert witness. But the rejection of Singer's DIMPAC report does not support the definitive statement in Wikivoice of "The concept of brainwashing is generally not accepted as a scientific fact."
So the citations given for that sentence fail to verify.
Then I check the body of the article to see if it could be a summarization of concepts presented in the article. No, it doesn't. The section Brainwashing#Other areas and studies introduces a whole slew of researchers and psychiatrists showing that the concept of brainwashing is generally accepted as a scientific fact and understood as such amongst society and professionals.
Not only don't the citations given for that sentence fail to verify, but it isn't even a valid summarization of the body of the article, therefore I have removed it.

Talk:Fun Slide

message: This page should be retitled 'Dry Slide' to represent the generic name for the item discussed.  'Fun Slide', 'Super Slide', 'Lite Slide', 'Goliath Slide', 'Fast Trax', 'Euroslide', etc. are names of particular dry slides.  Another option would be to create an umbrella page and list particular models.
Dry Slide
A dry slide is an amusement device where riders climb a set of stairs or ramp to the top of a large slide and use a mat, sack, or other such device to slide down.  Most dry slides have lanes separated by humps to keep riders from colliding into each other on the way down.  Smaller versions have three lanes, but some have as many as twelve or more lanes.  At the bottom of the slide there is usually a runoff area comprised of canvas or carpeting designed to decelerate the riders and bring them to a stop.

thread_title:  A problem 

message: The "garment" simply indicates to the King that the wearer acknowledges that their life's service to God's Kingdom has had its source in God.  The "friend" NOT wearing the garment is purporting that her contribution had its source in herself - by not wearing the garment, she is not giving God the credit for her contribution to bringing about the Kingdom (and its conclusion in the Wedding Feast).  This guest is suggesting that she did everything she did through her own great spirit.  In fact, it is "Not I, but God's spirit working through me".

message: The Screech History link seems to be broken.
We need more info on screeching. For one, I've only ever heard it refered to as a "screech in", and never screeching. Also it might be fair to mention instead of kissing a cod many bars offer the option of kissing a toy Puffin on the rear (since cod are often out of season or hard/expensive to keep on hand). The sayings would be fair to mention as well. I was at a screch in this weekend at Trapper John's in Georget Stret St. John's, and two of the saying were "long may your big jib draw" and "how're ye gettin on me cocky?". Also, traditionally I believe the participant is given a sou'wester hat and a newfoundland flag or pin.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.251.65.192 (talk) 23:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I was made to believe that I would pass out drunk and/or burn my throat off with one shot of screech, but it turned out to be pretty tame and much to everyone's surprise I actually drank two shots (it was better than the cod, at least). I also got a certificate that has a different origin story than the one in the article. This was in Corner Brook though, so maybe the tradition is slightly different everywhere.

thread_title: Untitled

message: There are a number of indexes that you can look to, particularly the works of Ricardo Alegria who has cataloged much of what we know of Taino culture.  
Also as far as the female caciques:  The term "cacica" is a Spanish feminization of "cacique" and would not have been in use by the Tainos.  There is question as to whether the pre-conquest Taino, even had female caciques, or if the female caciques came as a novelty of the Spanish conquest.  Where the Spanish would marry the daughters of caciques and then when the cacique had died, or was killed, the daughter would be raised to the prominent cacique role.  Effectively injecting a European tradition of absolute primogeniture into taino politics, and facilitating control of the population, with or without marriage, as the system could be enforced by allegiance to the Spanish.
