thread_title:  First paragraph is all in bold 

message: I realize this might be a controversial suggestion, so I figured I'd just flag it here. People Magazine is obviously ... not a great source, and while I'm ambivalent on whether that last comment is removed, I do think the current end of this article is a bit misleading. The People Mag source is from 2020. But, in a September 2020 interview with Dr. Oz ,  Fualaau seemed to defend his ex wife, saying, "That is my wife and she is my best friend and we had our kids together and we did get married and we had a whole life together." At the same time, Fualaau also said that, were he attracted to minors, he would "seek help." It seems like that commentary, which is directly attributable to Fualaau (rather than unnamed sources) and also more recent than the People Mag report should probably be featured in the article instead of or at least after the People Mag report.--96.94.213.161 (talk) 15:23, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Northern Low Saxon

message: This variety's name is unique (have a look at the pages that link there), so according to the naming guideline, there is no need for the "language" suffix. Additionally, removing the "language" suffix has the advantage of being NPOV with regard to the question whether this is an independent language or not — and of putting an end to the ridiculous current situation of a lemma called XXX language being defined as a dialect in the first sentence of the article. ― j. 'mach' wust | ✑ 20:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The whole introduction has to be rewritten, mainly because of reasons of neutrality:
*northern low Saxon is not a Standard Low German (since such thing does not exist)
*is not spoken and understood in a huge central area since 
a) the majority of the population of the listed states does not use these dialect anymore; 
b) these are the northern parts of western Low German and not a huge central area 
* Eastphalian and Westphalian are are not border regions but rather separate dialect regions--Zarbi1 (talk) 20:41, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introduction 

message: Fact is that any variant of Low German is intelligible to most speakers of Low German and the western dialects cannot be considered Low German standard only by that means. East of Holstein radio and TV broadcasts are made in the local dialects. The impression of some "standard" Low German comes from two things:
1. The western dialects have much in common in spelling/pronunciation and vocabulary.
2. In the west there is a greater mass of Low German broadcasts and speakers.
Thus the received wider acceptance.193.174.122.76 (talk) 12:25, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Hamburg German

message: According to Low Saxon language (and de:Niedersächsische Sprache, which it was based on), Hamburger is a Northern Low Saxon dialect.
Northern Low Saxon language implies otherwise.
Is it?
-- Toby 18:31 Feb 4, 2003 (UTC)
Hamburger is a variant of Northern Low Saxon like Schleswiger and Holsteiner.
----
Is the pronunciation of "Hamburg" correct?
It was given by the same contributor that made jokes about McDonald's and referred to the dialect as "highly corrupted".
-- Toby 00:16 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)
: The pronounciation of "Hamburg" in Hamburgisch is something like Humm-boorkh. The "kh" is spoken very softly. In German you pronounce it like Humm-boorg
This soft "kh" sound -- is it like "ch" in a Standard German word like "Milch" or "manch"?
The the contributor's "sch" spelling is the usual approximation, and "ch(i)" means the sort of "ch" sound that comes before "i".
What if we just change it to a straight "ch"?
That seems less confusing to me, even if less precise, and I've long been of the opinion anyone that the front "ch" is the default any when it appears after a consonant at the end of a syllable.
-- Toby 02:46 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)
: Yes, the "soft kh" is the same as in "Milch". Maybe this description is good to explain the pronouciation of "Hamburg" in the article?
Sounds good to me. -- Toby 23:11 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)
No, it's wrong. The pronunciation of "Hamburg" in Standard German is [ˈhambʊʁk], which becomes [ˈhambʊɪ̯ç] in the regional variety of Standard German in Northern Germany, but the Hamburg Low German word is "Hamborg" ['hambɔːx] with a velar fricative as in "loch". 134.100.32.73 08:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This lead jumps right into competing explanations of how atonement works but doesn't explain what it means in the first place. What are its roots in Judaism?

Talk:Transculturation

message: There is a lot of good content here, but I wonder about the title.  I research these phenomena professionally, and nowhere in the scholarly literature have I encountered this term, "ethnoconvergence."   Moreover, the article does not provide any account of who introduced the term and who uses it.  I raise this point not only as a suggestion for how to improve the article, but also because I wonder why the article is called "ethnoconvergence" when it seems to be describing transculturation.  People have been calling this process transculturation ever since Ortiz introduced the term in the 1940s. I tried a google search of "ethnoconvergence" and found no hits; I tried "transculturation" and found 3,780.Slrubenstein
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ETHNOCONVERGENCE.  What does this tell people about the article, and its intent? We are trying to write an encyclopedia here, not a personal thesis. -- RK
Im seeing things RK's way. Theres got to be some sorta sinister agenda behind this. No doubt financed by extremist fundamentalist Islamist terrorists. -Stevert
:can you see things my way -- and explain why I can't find the term "ethnoconvergence" in any of my books or on google, but I do find it here?  And can you explain why there is no discussion of Ortiz? Slrubenstein
Upon reflection, youre gonna have to lighten up on the neologisms thing, here. They seem like they come with the territory, and Im sure youre not just following me around in your quest to purge wikipedia of neologia. If the article is well enough written, then just buy it. Make it better. Express yourself. Alfred Einstein says on a popular poster -  "Imagination is more important than gnawledge" . Besides I dont have Lexis Nexis or any other real access other than the web to validate my "imaginary" insinuations. Im happy if they make sense at all - if in English, even better. A frank and turbiastic response is all I can muster right now. Be well..
----
Ha! I just tried to move this page and Danny beat me to it! I can't find "ethnoconvergence" on Google either and I'm damned if I'm going to sift through all my books looking for it. But the term seems familiar, and I knew what it meant straight away - where "transculturation" is clumsy. Yeah, yeah, I know we can't go coining our own terms. But sometimes that seems a pity. :) Tannin 01:33 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Der Freischütz

message: Having split the seven bullets between them, Max has used four and Caspar has used three. Max demands Caspar give him his last bullet to use in the final shooting contest, but Caspar refuses. As Max leaves, Caspar shoots a fox, thus making Max's bullet the seventh and controlled by the Evil One.
How is there another bullet if they've already used up the seven bullets? When did we hear the rules about the evil one controlling some final bullet, and how does wasting a magic bullet on a fox suddenly create a new evil bullet in Max's possession, and if Max wanted another magic bullet in the first place, and Caspar wanted him to have one, why didn't Caspar just give him one? The whole synopsis should be reviewed for clarity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.222.10.250 (talk) 12:19, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cultural references to 'Der Freischutz' 

message: Michael Bednarek has reversed my corrections. I can read and  calculate. So I know, he is wrong.
The original specification places the opera Der Freischütz in Bohemia, not Kingdom Bohemia, and its time at shortly after the 30 Years' War, no matter what nowadays productions of the opera make out of the original. To check, read the libretto. If you cannot read the German libretto trust my translation. My correction and the reverted version differ in atmosphere. The opera is about a fairy tale not about a historical event.
The 7th bullet is the devil's, so one has to account for 6 bullets before the last. Calculate yourself and read the libretto where you find the answer. 
Max had received 4 (read the libretto) and used 3 during the hunt in the morning. Caspar spoils his bullets on magpies and his third on a fox (read the libretto). 
I care for the German, not so much for the English article of Der Freischütz. If you do not mind the impression that you cannot get numbers right or read the libretto, leave the article in its reverted version. --Norbert Dragon (talk) 11:38, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:What it is

message: It was relatively annoying work to cut out even just the obvious dross from the machine-generated list produced by Wikipedia:what links here.
Probably this list is really 'what wikipedia thinks wikipedia is'.  There should probably also be a separate list of concepts that wikipedia is actually an example of, and has been described as an example of in relatively stable articles.  
Interestingly, almost none of the positive or desirable concepts that are listed in Wikipedia:mention of wiki in articles use wikipedia itself as an example!
But few of the bad ones, e.g. w:cluster fuck, w:flame war do so either.  Maybe wikipedia just doesn't say enough about wikipedia yet, or it's political or something (what isn't?)
I like a tongue in cheek style for this article as it invites newbies to add comemnts and seems less intimidating than no comment (almost useless) or an attempt at serious comment, when in fact no one is going to read all these files to discover how or why they reference wikipedia with a link... flippancy sort of warns the reader that this list isn't very well edited, and probably can't be, as each new article that mentions wikipedia will require edits to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.177.104.91 (talk • contribs) 06:19, 5 February 2003 (UTC)
