Talk:Tayasal (archaeological site)

message: The article mentions the city of Eixequil (the Yalnain capital). I would appreciate if anyone could give me any reliable source on this city, since I can find none. Thanks in advance. --Monfornot (talk) 18:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect Eixequil is probably an irregular or mistaken spelling for Quexil (in modern Spanish; colonial spelling Quechil; originally in Maya Ek'Ixil ), a Maya town on the lago of the same name, in the eastern 'province' of the core Itza territory at the time of the conquest. The town was done over along with others when Martin de Ursua came thru. Not sure however about this being the 'capital' of the Yalnain (should be spelled Yalain) region, since the actual township/centre of Yalain lies further to the east of Lago Peten Itza. Would have to look into it some more. For a good ref, see The Conquest of the Last Maya Kingdom by Grant Jones (1998). --cjllw ʘ TALK 10:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Eixequil 

message: There is far too much reliance on Arlen Chase's interesting but largely discredited theory that the Itza capital was at Topoxte. Jones, Rice & Rice pretty much put this theory to rest many years ago and most modern scholars consider Lake Petén Itzá to be the site of the Itza capital based on the Spanish descriptions and colonial documentation, of which there is apparently a great deal. Simon Burchell (talk) 08:41, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed this - not only is it effectively discredited, it refers to the Maya capital at Nojpetén, not the archaeological site on the San Miguel peninsula, across the lake (which is the subject of this article). Simon Burchell (talk) 16:48, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Higher Ground (TV series)

message: I rewrote this article, because it was utterly copied from one of the fan websites, so one can imagine how it looked like. Basically I had to remade it respecting NPOV policy. I added an infobox plus captured, edited and inserted the series logo. I also found names of episodes and air dates at the IMDb, internally linked various terms (mainly pages of actors, but also lots of others).
I'm not completely done with this article yet, but I think it's beginning to form into a suitable shape. If you have anything to add here (but NPOV from now on, please), feel free to do it.--iLorbb 08:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Is this really worthy of a mention in an encylopedia? Most players have a Facebook group dedicated to them, and it doesn't really add anything to the article. Not even the link is helpful as it is written in jest and contains phrases such as "European Champions Falkirk have signed O'Brien in a deal that is expected to reach approximately £100m. O'Brien said, "It was a wrench to leave Hillsborough but the chance to play at such a big club as Falkirk is not going to come around often and I couldn't turn them down"."

Talk:Petty kingdoms of Norway

message: This whole article is very dubious. I would be curious to know what is the source. Many of the names of the "kingdoms" are rendered in an old-fashioned, Dano-Norwegian version. The claim about the title of the rulers being Konge is obviously wrong, as the word in old norse would be konungr, but I would also question which sources exist to tell us the titles of Norwegian chieftains of the 9th century. The number 29 seems entirely random, though I suspect it is taken from the number of administrative units at a much later stage in Norwegian history. The names of the "kings" are also entirely unsourced. (Barend 08:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am sorry for not providing sources, but the ovewhelming majority of the information is from english wikipedia and I don't usually provide separate links when the relevant articles are linked to in the text. I will try to find external sources when I get more time. The article is in dire need of improvement, I started it mainly because I found a lot of information on the subject spread around different articles here. It is just a base for expantion. The names are however not old fashioned dano-norwegian versions. The names of these areas are in use today (they have changed somewhat togeather with the rest of Norwegian language) and I have used the current Norwegian forms with the exception of Raumarike which is called Romerike today (For some reason it seems common to use the older form when the petty kingdom is in mind). You are right that they were probably called konungr, but that is the same word as konge (and king), just in a different form. That was what I unsuccessfully tried to explain anyway. Some of these might have been called herser and some jarls. But they were all petty kings (småkonger). As with all history of this age information might be duboius, and some of these might have been commonwealths, puppet kingdoms, and part of other kingdoms at points. Let's explore togeather :) Inge 17:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, the intention is good, there is the potential for a good article here. What is taken from semi-mythological sources will have to be pointed out as such.

Talk:Syncopation (dance)

message: After some reading I was tempted to add the following piece
::In Ballroom dancing the term "syncopated timing" has traditionally been used in reference to patterns when a beat is split and an extra step is taken. An example would be the Syncopated Lock Step figure of Quickstep performed with the timing q&qqqqS.
However after some thought I came to conclusion that the above explanation, although commonly heard, is in fact misleading and hides the "true" nature of syncopation in the Syncopated Lock: the first lock is indeed syncopated in musical sense: the overall rhythmic feeling is q&QqqS (the second Q feels accented due to longer time interval between steps 3 and 4 compared to interval between steps 2 and 3). `'mikka (t) 08:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: In the paragraph that begins "Many dance teachers criticize...", I'm assuming it refers to the second meaning of syncopation, but I'm not sure enough to put this in the text.  If someone could confirm this...
-- TimNelson (talk) 06:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not using syncopation? 

message: Syncopation in the musical sense is not 'splitting' the beat. You can split the beat and still be on tempo (as in the Cha - Cha) In true syncopation, as found in the Swing Dances and Argentine Tango the dancer deliberately dances some steps 'off tempo' the steps to not follow in a regular pattern that is in alignment with the music. The steps slow down and speed slightly  to hit the accents in the music. Swing music and Argentine Tango have syncopated accents and the dancer should be focusing on hitting the accents. It cannot, and should not be done with steps that follow a regular beat pattern. Most dancer teacher's don't understand the different between 'splitting the beat' and true syncopation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.146.117.46 (talk) 17:07, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Supernumerary body part

message: Is it really correct to call this a "disorder"? I know in some cases it may be so, but in others it would be either neutral or even beneficial (e.g. having six fingers on each hand would make me a better pianist). Cheers — SteveRwanda 08:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Most people with a supernumerary body part are treated at an early age, polydactyly included.  Some people do make the most of it, as per your example, and in those cases I agree that it would not be seen by them as a disorder, but medically it still is.  violet/riga (t) 09:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone just added a picture of a double tomato to the page.

replies: text: Yeah, that picture came as something as a surprise to me!  The body plan article refers to botanical lifeforms too, so perhaps "supernumerary body part" could be used for plants as well as animals, but I really don't know at this moment.

message: So I have added a cite to the note that contingent vote was used in Queensland, and certainly the Constitution would appear to support that being the case. At the election, only two seats (Brisbane and Moreton) had more than two candidates, and in both cases the primary vote leader had less than 50%. But I can find no discussion of contingent voting in any of the papers, which simply report the primary vote leaders as elected, and I have never seen any data to suggest it was used.

"Mahon is, and is likely to remain, the only MP ever to be expelled from the Federal Parliament, since, under Section 8 of the Parliamentary Privileges Act 1987,"

Second, the article is essentially all based on one source. (Only a couple small details are cited to others.)
