Talk:Amateur boxing

message: Amateur boxing divisions are a little bit different than professional heavyweight. Up to 201 is a heavyweight. Over 201 lbs (above 91 kg) and above is considered a super heavyweight. There is no super heavyweight in professional boxing, even though boxing organizations wanted to create this additional fourth heavyweight division. Do we know the dates? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.107.0.227 (talk) 20:27, August 10, 2007
amateur doesn't have a class called cruiserweight, like the pros, so don't get hung up on the names of the classes. in amateurs, superheavy was created in 1948, but the classes change from time to time and i don't remember any of the classes being exactly the same in amateur as pros, and as long as i can remember there have been many more pro classes than amateur. in the 80's i remember 12 amateur classes and in the 90's at some point they cut it to 10. one weird thing about this page is that they still mention AAU as somehow being involved in boxing in the united states and it has been decades since AAU has had anything to do at all with boxing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.98.204.251 (talk) 11:07, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

:Because boxing weight classes were originally devised in pounds and that has continued with the creation of new weight classes. The weight limits are in pounds and that's why you see them with nice round numbers when they are pounds (200 pounds, 175 pounds, 160 pounds, etc.) and uneven numbers when they are in kilograms.MKil 17:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Karakachan dog

message: At present the title of this article is Karakachan Dog.  Is that the correct name of the breed, or is it just the "Karakachan"?  Sources I have found appear to be inconsistent.  To put it another way, if we were including this breed in a list, would we say "Newfoundland, Karakachan Dog, Australian Cattle Dog, Beagle", or "Newfoundland, Karakachan, Australian Cattle Dog, Beagle"?
If it is the "Karakachan Dog", we should use this name throughout the article, with a capital "D".  If it is a breed of dog called the "Karakachan", we should use that throughout, and change the title of the article to Karakachan (dog) as per the MOS.

message: The article bases its claim that Herodotus used the name "Tarentum" on the Penguin translation.  In fact, Herodotus uses the original Greek name "Taras" throughout; the translator likely used the form "Tarentum" because this is the custom in English language Classical Studies, when referring to the ancient city.  "Tarentum" is, as far as I know, the Latin name of the city (which does occur in a few later Greek witers, due to Latin influence). 140.247.236.53 12:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
