Talk:Merit badge (Scouting Ireland)

thread_title: Rename

message: These articles should be merged together, the name I propose is Advancement in Scouting Ireland, to encompass present and past histories-by themselves they will go nowhere. I further propose to split out the ONE Scout programme from Scouting Ireland, to be the core of this new article, as there is a precedent for smaller, trimmed articles:
*Ranks in the Boy Scouts of America
*Ranks in Polish Scouting
*Ranks in Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia
*Ranks in the Scout Association of Japan
and probably several others I've missed.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:56, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Not following, so what I will do is set up the article under the name I proposed, you take a look at what I've done, feel free to  rename and move stuff around as you see fit. The reason I named it as I did is because it is in line with other Scouting articles and does not denote a particular program or timeframe.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 06:32, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Pissaladière

message: We are talking about the origin of this dish, and not that in Ventimiglia or Nice the locals eat it. The pissaladière is Genoese and quickly spread throughout Liguria. It is not a question of francising a name and of saying that the dish is French whereas in addition, Nice was a city of Ligurian culture whose inhabitants all had an Italian name before the French annexation.

Talk:Boeuf à la mode

message: It's true that "à la mode" means "fashionable". But "à la mode de chez nous" means "the way we do it at home", and "à la mode de Paris" would mean "the way they do it in Paris". Given that this is just braised cheap meat, it doesn't seem plausible that it means "fashionale"; it seems more likely that it means "the way everyone does it".
Indeed, "à la mode" is linked; the target confirms that the phrase means "fashionable", but notes that in cuisine, it means instead "cooked with carrots and onions".
So I'm going to mark it as needing citation; but I'll delete it soon.

replies: text: Can't tell what the last vowel is supposed to be. kwami (talk) 12:27, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

text: What you've provided here isn't in accord with IPA, but the transcription in the text itself is plausible. It's not a very good approximation of the French pronunciation, but a reasonable one of how persillade would be pronounced in English. There are, however, some complications concerning the final vowel. In British and Canadian English (and perhaps elsewhere in the Commonwealth; I don't know), the usual strategy in adopting foreign words is to replace their low vowel (typically , more or less) with the English front low vowel . In American English, the usual strategy is to use the back low vowel  instead. MJM74 (talk) 20:03, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

message: If anyone is paying attention to this page, I have one question that it could answer, and since I'm not in this industry I don't have a way to answer it and contribute to the page.  What are the criteria to join? Do you just have to fill out a form and pay your annual dues?  In other words, is it just a trade association?  Or is there some very rigid exclusive criteria that prospective members must meet?  I saw a restaurant talking about their affiliation with this group and was not sure if it should mean anything that they're members.  Thank you. 2601:186:4501:9C1C:ECA7:2133:507B:66E5 (talk) 17:49, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not a professional hospitality association, but a group of gastronomes/culinarians.  There are professional hospitality members (cooks, chefs, hotel managers, vintners etc), and they number about 30% of the total membership.  To join you need to be sponsored by two existing members of the Chaine.  In some ares, you need to have attended a couple of dinners as a guest of a member.  Membership is personal not corporate.  So if you see a plaque in a restaurant, it means that someone in the restaurant is a professional culinary member.  If that person leaves, he takes the plaque with him.

For example, the island comprising modern day Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland was never part of any Roman state. Additionally, I believe the territories in Mesopotamia were only temporarily held by Rome, but never constituted a long term portion of the Roman Empire (although this may have changed under the Byzantine Empire).

This is probably wrong as rhaetia was used as a name for a region in south germany - and is still used to this day as a moniker for the swiss canton of graubünden (to the south of lake of constance).

thread_title:  So who were the duo? 

message: Throughout the Internet and, in particular, language versions of Wikipedia (e.g. FR,, EN) there are spelling divergences as regards the surname of the female main act, Annette Eltice OR Etilce.
I have tried to find out, by way of an Internet research, which spelling is correct, with limited success. Here are my main considerations and findings:
* Annette Eltice OR Etilce came to France, where she rose to success, from the French Caribbean, so French sources should be more reliable than others.
*It looks like “Etilce” is a French surname borne by other people as well, and “Eltice” is not (https://www.filae.com/nom-de-famille/ETILCE.html).
*Trying to establish the frequency of "Annette Etilce/Eltice"+"singer/chanteuse" hits via google by 3 November 2019:
**“Annette Etilce” "singer": 9 hits
**“Annette Eltice” "singer": 214 hits
**“Annette Etilce” "chanteuse": 107 hits
**“Annette Eltice” "chanteuse": 142 hits
This slightly favours the spelling “Etilce”, doesn’t it?

Talk:France in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

message: Hi all- I've boldly merged the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 articles into this summary article. I don't think all year articles should be merged for all countries, but these specific ones consisted of internal selections with little public fanfare or widespread media coverage. The merge basically consisted of identifying who was selected, how, with what song, and how the entry fared at the contest. This level of detail is already the threshold for this article, so a separate article with the same exact information (alongside boilerplate background from this article and contest summaries copy-pasted from other articles) seems like overkill. Additionally, this article already was missing at least 2 years of information, so we were doing a disservice to the reader by scattering that information. More discussion would be necessary for articles with detailed national finals, which would likely not require merges and would remain as separate articles.

This author is apparently notable, as she has had many of her works (of which there are dozens available on Amazon and other retailers) published by notable companies, including Random House. She has won a Christy Award (that article already lists her), which, though I've never heard of it, is obviously notable enough to have a WP page that has existed for almost a year. Also, this site notes that one of her books has over 1,000,000 copies in print in 17 languages. A Google search (which, with her full name in quotes, provides 75,600 hits) is giving me a bit of a tough time in finding reliable sources, if only because so many of the first hits are for e-stores selling her books.
