thread_title: unverifiable content removed

message: The pronunciation "pash-ee-moh-tan-ahs-anna" does not seem correct, at least not if we look at the devanagari script, which indicates that the name of this posture should rather be pronounced "pash-chi-moh-tahn-ahs-anna". There seems to be widespread confusion though, since e.g. Yoga Journal's page on this posture also distorts the "chi" part, but at least according to an audiobook I have (Nicolai Bachman - The Language of Yoga), the reading of the script does not correspond to what this article (and YJ) says. The reference for the pronunciation is currently a book by Ray Long, who is an anatomy expert and not a sanskrit scholar. Does anybody know of a better reference for the pronunciation of the names of different postures? /Salsero (talk) 15:49, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The pronunciation indicated for the English definitely seems off. English normally doesn't have doubled consonants and an  immediately before a stressed syllable is a pretty unnatural pronunciation. — Æµ§œš¹ [lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt] 16:45, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Diane Ladd

message: Hey all! Is there a verifiable source for Mrs. Ladd's date of birth? The most common one I've seen is 29 Nov 1935 (which is displayed on IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and on the Golden Globes site), however, the Playbill link in the External links section lists it as being in 1932, the Alice Hyatt page listed there states it was in 1942, and doing a simple Google query for her lists it as simply '1939'.

Talk:Grianan of Aileach

message: Current sentence "The kingdoms of Ulaidh and Kingdom of Oirialla were two subject kingdoms in the North under the general rule of Aileach." is not correct - Ulaid was never under Cenél nEógain general rule of Ailech nor - as I understand the phrase - a "subject-kingdom". Even for Airgíalla "subject-kingdom" might be a tad to strong. To quote an easily accessible reliable source mentioning both: "Cenél Eogain became dominant in 789... ...They expanded
southwards and eastwards across the mid-Ulster plains in the eighth and ninth centuries. This brought the large sub-kingdom of Airgialla and the great monastic town of Armagh under their control... ... 
The kingdom of the Ulaid, now reduced to the lands east of the Bann with some small outliers, held out against Cenél Eogain. It maintained a precarious independence and did not recognise the overlordshipy [sic?] of the kings of Tara before the middle of the ninth century." Donnchad Ó Córrain (p.2-3) Note that "recognise the overlordshipy" does not imply being a subject kingdom - at one point or another in history every region in Ireland accepted "overlordshipy" from Uí Néill. The part about Ulaid will definitely have to be removed, possibly also the part about Airgíalla. Finn Rindahl (talk) 22:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Additional Information 

message: I see the person above me has similar concerns. First of all:
"Interference theory is theory regarding human memory. Interference occurs in learning when there is an interaction between the new material and transfer effects of past learned behavior, memories or thoughts that have a negative influence in comprehending the new material."
Leaving the "theory is theory" chancre for a moment, why the emphasis on "learning" rather than a safer, broader frame of information being uploaded to memory? Learning is a something quite different, or at least a subset of this.
"past learned behavior" ... what else is there but past, for learned behavior?
"that have"—what's that referring back to? What are the agents?
Why is the opening definition in terms of only of the existing affecting the new, when two kinds of interference are then announced, one of which is clearly in the opposite direction?
Those two articles referred to are pretty appalling (and apparently only from an educational theory perspective).

Talk:Guavaween

message: There's a lot of unsourced and confusing text in the article right now. I'll start the process cleaning it up, and hopefully other interested editors can continue and add more info, as I'm not exactly an expert on Guavaween per se. 
However, I am a bit of an expert on local history, and I must point out that the origin of Tampa's "Big Guava" nickname previously related in this article was sadly incorrect. As it now (correctly) reads, Gavino Guiterrez was working for a New York fruit company and came to Tampa looking for wild guava trees. He didn't find enough trees to be worth his while, but he did recommend Tampa to Vicente Martinez-Ybor, setting the stage for Ybor City. He was not a "Tampa pioneer", and he didn't try to start a guava plantation only to be thwarted by "climate and rising land prices". Actually, he used his training as a civil engineer and went to work for Sr. Ybor laying out the streets and generally helping to plan the new settlement.
Apparently, the incorrect information originated in this poorly researched St. Pete Times article about Guavaween from 1999. The exact wording from that report was repeated in this wikipedia entry until today, and it can be found faithfully copied onto various other sites regarding Guavaween, all incorrect. The real story can be found in any book on the history of Tampa and/or Ybor City, and also online in this lesson plan from the Ybor City State Museum and this document on the City of Tampa website, among other places.
Sorry for the rant, but this is why wikipedia needs to be as accurate as possible. Just a couple of inaccurate sentences from a supposedly reputable source can lead to bad information being copied all over the place online. Zeng8r (talk) 01:45, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Shim (spacer)

message: Often overlooked when searching for the definition of a shim is a much used term for "shemales" and the name is derived from she/him..shim.
(Wait only For request before usage.)
And yet two of the usage examples show "shim" being used in a subject, not object, context (where you would use "he", not "him"). I'm not convinced of the accuracy of that, especially considering that other fairly obscure terms like sie (he/she) are actually better known, at least online. 86.131.98.189 00:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Progressive Electronic

message: I do agree with the speedy deletion since it's due to a copyvio, but FWIW, "progressive" is a legitimate meta-genre encompassing the mutually influential progressive house (c. 1991 on), progressive breaks (c. 1995 on), and progressive trance (c. 1994 on) genres and their evolved forms. People began using the term "progressive" as a general genre name, rather than as a qualifier for one of house/breaks/trance, in the late 1990s. Perhaps "Progressive Electronic" isn't the best name for the article, but there probably could be an article for it nonetheless.
