Talk:Knanaya

message: The Saint Thomas Christians are an ethnoreligious community of Indian (Malayali) Syriac Christians from Kerala, India, who trace their origins to the evangelistic activity of Thomas the Apostle in the 1st century. Since Knanaya Christians do not consider themselves to be converts from evangelistic activity of St. Thomas, they cannot be considered St. Thomas Christians.--99v (talk) 06:38, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Knanayas are not St. Thomas Christians 

message: could you explain here on the talk page why you have tagged the article? What sources are "not verifiable" and why have you not been able to verify them? I have removed the COI tag because there is no COI. Please be WP:CIVIL to other editors and do not persist in accusations that are not proven, or proven not true. Elizium23 (talk) 07:39, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Elizium23, I thought I was within the bounds of civility and good taste because I only stated what I believed without resorting to invective. Although many sources are cited in the article, several among them used repeatedly were not verifiable. The citations are not linked to the actual source for prompt verification. I tried myself using Google web and book search. I could see that the works of Jacob Vellian, P M Jussay, Shalva Weil, Frykenberg (2010) etc, existed but could not obtain a preview to actually verify content. I went to the talk page and found that the main contributor had some connection to the subject and some others were questioning him. So I tagged the article to alert the readers as well as other editors, hoping that somebody who is bibliophile will do the fact-checking of content. That is what I stated in the edit summary. Since you ask why I couldn’t verify the sources, I guess I should have done more before putting accusatory tags. On this matter, I’m open to feedback and will endeavor to abide by WP:CIVIL at all times. In fact I’m keenly interested to know all the possible ways to find good sources to add as well as to verify content. So if you were able to view the content of all the cited works of the authors I mentioned above, please let me know what you did differently. Now that we are having this conversation, I would also like to know what is the right thing to do when we encounter many citations in an article that cannot be verified on best effort and under what circumstances those tags can be used. Because as I understand, Wikipedia welcomes bold moves; right? --Longsword9 (talk) 10:42, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , I am not sure why, if there is something preventing you from verifying a source, there is not something preventing others from verifying it. We use paywalled sources, offline sources, sources in library books in obscure places, all the time, and it may be inconvenient for a random editor to look it up on the Internet, but it is verifiable, and we do not require anything beyond that.

Talk:Paradiddle

message: To the anonymous at 207.188.195.210, if you find any reference about there being four paradiddles instead of three please revert it once more and include them in the article, otherwise please leave it alone: every site I could find, books I have and, last but not least, my late teacher (who was one of the best jazz teachers in Europe) do not mention the 4th paradiddle you keep trying to include.
As an aside, in the 3 'real' paradiddles you can play the doubles as bounce/ghost notes and still accent the bold hits, in your addition one of the accents would be the second of a LL group and the other the second of an RR group, which would not be compatible with playing things with doubles. As much as it's an interesting phrasing I really don't agree with it being a paradiddle so I'm reverting you again.
----
I too have been taught (and used) RLRL LRLR as a paradiddle variation. I searched through my books and, what would you know: no mention! Its a tough one. Maybe we should have a note to the effect that RLRL LRLR maybe-or-maybe-not?
----
Mathematically, there are obviously 4 variations. The fact that one of them takes the diddle across the beat doesn't make it any less "real". 
The argument about not being able to accent "bold hits" (the note directly following the diddle) doesn't hold water either. For the fourth variation they just happen to fall on "e". What in the world is  wrong with that?

Talk:Veneti (disambiguation)

message: To further disambiguate, here is a quote from Alexander M. Schenker, The Dawn of Slavic (1995, Yale University Language Series):
:"From various ancient sources we know of three different tribes bearing the name of the Veneti or Venedi. A large tribe of the Veneti, first mentioned by Herodotus, lived along the northern shores of the Adriatic sea (see Adriatic Veneti). A few surviving place names and brief inscriptions suggest that the Adriatic Veneti spoke an Italic dialect. The memory of the Italic Veneti survives in the names of the province Venetia and the city of Venice. There was also a Celtic tribe called the Veneti living in the Morbihan district of Brittany.... Finally, another tribe named the Veneti was mentioned by Pliny the Elder who located them along the Vistula."
---By the way, Schenker totally rejects the theory that the Venedi of the Vistula region were a Slavic people, as some claim, and his arguments against are rather convincing; but I suppose there is still the possibility that the Vistula Veneti may have been Slavic. On another note: it is needless to say that only a demented person would still suggest that the Adriatic Veneti were Slavic, since we already have inscriptions that prove conclusively that they were not.

thread_title:  Islam 

message: I'm not sure that this is true: "the orthodox Catholic position on unbaptized infants is that their [the unbaptized infants'] fate is uncertain"
1261 As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,"63 allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism.

Talk:Centronics

message: Does History matter? I worked for Centronics from 1980-83 and there is no mention of the 700 series or the 6000 series band printer or the 350 series dot matrix. My understanding of the history ( a bit colorful) was that the centronics name came from the fact they printed the number of cents put into slot machines in Las Vegas and that Max Hugel worked for the CIA as a 'plant' to ensure that Japanese corporations stayed away from armaments after WW2.
I visited a computer show in 1980 and *ALL* the dot matrix printers, other than DEC, were Centronics.

Talk:Arch Linux

message: I think it's weird to specify that BusyBox can be installed in the userland part of the OS template.

thread_title:  Userland "busybox can be installed if the user desires" 

message: The article currently states "As of 2023, Arch also enjoys the highest average rating of any Linux distribution on DistroWatch with a rating of 9.34.". From the wording "rating" I expect a user rating. But when I click through, apparently what is being referred to is the "Page Hit Ranking". That's not a rating, no conscious user decision involved here, so I consider the statement misleading and think this sentence simply doesn't deserve its place. Also, of course clicks change quickly over time and today Arch is on place 4, not at the top. 159.100.249.232 (talk) 17:02, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like you're (understandably) mixing up two separate things on Distrowatch. The page hit ranking is not the 9.34 number (which is not current) and indeed cannot be anything except a whole number since it's a placement ranking (you can't be 9.34th place, and according to Arch Linux's Distrowatch entry the page hit ranking is currently 60th based on the last 12 months). That ranking is not the same as the visitor rating that the Wikipedia article's text is referring to. The "Average visitor rating" is indeed a conscious user decision and is a rating based on user reviews. However, you're correct that Arch has dropped to number 4 overall since it went from 9.34 to (as of writing) 9.19. So there is an issue that the statement is out of date, but it's not otherwise misleading and does refer to user ratings, not the page hit metrics (which are a separate thing). - Aoidh (talk) 17:34, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
