message: Most of the update is from the German article, with only a few sentences from the previous English version. But since both articles were short on what the party did while it lasted, I added some material on my own, with citations to reliable German-language sources. The new material is the description of the party's founding principles, the election results tables, and the first paragraph of the "Political activity" section.

Talk:Ecgþeow

message: Is it really necessary to use the letter or glyph or whatever "þ" in the title of an article in the English Wikipedia?  Is there not a way of translating or transliterating the name into something that someone without a background in ancient languages will be able to easily pronounce?  This is, IMHO, monumentally unhelpful. 24.68.250.157 03:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why change it?  I can see adding " or Ecgtheow" to the first line of the article - and/or add pronunciation in parenthesis.  Renaming the article itself is unnecessary as Ecgtheow already redirects here. (John User:Jwy talk) 14:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Fourth Letter

message: Fostering was a medieval custom whereby northern European military caste families' children were sent to other upper class families to be raised. It helped strengthen political alliances, for one thing. For this article to presume Beowulf's fostering was the result of his father's death is simply the opinion of the editor who wrote it. It may have been due to his death, or not, but to say it likely was is unsupported by any facts, and other explanations are equally likely. --76.112.200.171 (talk) 04:02, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fostering 

message: The "e" in "þeow" should be represented in IPA by a long "e", since the name is a compound of "ecg" and "þéow". Also, I believe that the "þ" should be shown to be a voiceless on the grounds that word-initial fricatives in OE were voiceless ("þéow" very much being a word in itself), although that is more contestable than the first point I made.

thread_title: Lt. Col. John Wentworth's portrait could be better

message: Don't want to step on any toes, but perhaps the first paragraph after "biography" can be shortened to make only a single reference to William Wentworth, the grandfather, who now has his own page (didn't at the time this article was first constructed).  Then that single shortened sentence and the other discussion of the Lieutenant-Governor's family can be combined into perhaps two paragraphs under one heading.

It could use the following:

* a statement of what state she lived in when she ran for Vice President (seems quite likely it was Oregon)
* description of issues she ran on in her various races

thread_title: This article hath been hijacked by the trolls

message: Hadaka Matsuri means "naked festival," so the article could be renamed as Naked festivals of Japan, much like how Matsuri currently redirects to Japanese festivals. At the 蘇民祭 article at Japanese Wikipedia, it is stated that sominsai is a 1,000 year old hadaka matsuri. In this context, I believe the term is  a common noun phrase that just sticks an adjective to a common noun as opposed to "Hadaka Matsuri", a proper noun, as the titlecasing implies. It doesn't refer to a single specific matsuri. Also, there are other phrases that could be used interchangably in some cases, such as hadaka mairi (裸詣り). --Zannenzaka (talk) 12:47, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Hadaka Matsuri could be translated

message: The History, Beliefs, Controversy, and Types sections (I think that's all the subheadings) have no sources and as mentioned above are highly suspect as being a lie/joke. In fact, the history portion is in direct opposition to the only cited source which states the Saidaiji Eyo is the first Naked Festival. There are other sources to back that claim, but there do not seem to be sources for the other. Would it be best just to delete the subheadings (or move them here for review) to allow it to be rewritten?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.83.129.3 (talk) 03:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Penning ionization

message: Hi, it is good to see you adding equations and picture into your article. Basic principle for penning ionization is well explained. And overall your article is in an understandable way. I just have a small question for the equation on the surface S. Should one of the product carry odd electron? Or it is omitted, like the positive charge of S is omitted?
suggestion:
1 I'm not sure if it is only my computer's problem, the picture in your article looks a little bit small, so it may be better to make it larger.
2 Add citation for the picture if it is adapted from somewhere.
3 Add more information about the topic.
4 If you describe electron spectroscopy and glow discharge mass spectrometry as applications, it is better to put them in a section.
Hope these help.

thread_title:  Describing James Alcock 

message: I've tried my best to keep this article unbiased. I don't think that the article is fair with Bem and his ideas, specially because I've cited a lot of mainstream peer reviewed papers. I'm not referencing parapsychology journals, but people are still deleting everything I post. It's nonsense to delete peer-reviewed papers published on Psychological Bulletim, Frontiers, f1000 and keep articles by CSICOP.
However, I understand that the topic is highly controversial and it's not widely accepted, but at least the Daryl Bem and other 'parapsychologists' are playing by the rules: they are publishing in rigorous peer-review journals. So, I'm proposing something: at least keep the references. There is nothing wrong with them. We can discuss a better way to word the text, but please don't simply delete everything I write.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Massless theory (talk • contribs) 07:22, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  No mention of Diesel perfumes 

message: Right now the article states, that "Diesel's denim's products are produced exclusively in Italy, with many of its products produced by out-sourced factories". That's a factual error. You cannot say "exclusively", when Diesel jeans are also manufactured in USA, Tunisia, Morocco, Romania, Columbia, and possibly other countries. Leather belts are also produced in Italy and Romania. It's hard to provide reliable sources for the article, since clothes tags are hard to cite properly, but I hope some fashion enthusiasts will do the right thing and expose the "made exclusively in Italy" lie.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirt (talk • contribs) 16:38, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Romance Pannonian language

message: I read that there is an ongoing tough discussion about "vandalism". I hope this additional scholar (after the italian Tagliavini and the Romanians Magdearu, Rosetti, Curca,etc.. ) can calm down the situation: Andre Du Nay.
According to the french historian André Du Nay (in his book The Origins of the Rumanians -- The early history of the Rumanian language) "...in the north (of the Balkan peninsula) a Roman population still lived in the former province of Pannonia at least in the sixth century and the question whether the dialect spoken there belonged to east latin or western latin has been discussed by scholars like Tagliavini (in his Le origini delle lingue neolatine) without a definite conclusion..." In his opinion there was a romance dialect spoken around the Lake Balaton during the times of the Plague of Justinian, in the year 541. 
Another source is the vatican sponsored website www.orbilat.com

thread_title: Another scholar's proofs & sources

message: It would seem that this is a romance language; but the article cannot seem to get its story straight on this simple fact. (Under language, it says nothing is known beyond the fact that this is a centum language. If it is a romance language, it is, by definition, much more specific than a centum language.) The article is just... Very unclear on the basic definition of this language. Grandmasterka 07:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  So is this a romance language or not? 

message: Is there any single word found in a written document or on an archeological fund which proves that Latin language was spoken in Pannonia after the fall of the Roman Empire?

Talk:Manjira

message: The following text was copied from the dupe article 'Manjeera' before it was changed to a redirect. 
Manjeera, also known as manjira, tala, khartal or kartal are small metal cymbals that originated in India. They are held and played with the hands and often accompany folk or devotional music. Manjeera are usually made of bronze, brass, copper or zinc and connected with a copper cord which passes through holes in their center. They produce a rhythmic tinkling sound whose pitch varies according to their size, weight and the material of their construction. A player can also adjust the timbre by varying the point of contact while playing.  There are also small cymbals incrustated into wood blocks forming another type of instrument also known as khartal.The manjeera is an ancient instrument. Pictures of it have been found in temples dating back to the earliest times.

* Rattle (beater), a built-in beater that is part of some percussion intstuments, for example a tambourine, a cabasa or a sizzle cymbal
See also Jingle (music) which probably should be at jingle (percussion) as a jingle is a piece of music... so the disambiguator music is ambiguous.

message: I haven't at this stage removed the article from :Category:Swiss musical instruments, but that's more because I'm not quite sure what to do than because I think it's OK as it. It's not; Rattles occur in most if not all musical cultures. But I don't want to add it to all the relevant categories of musical instruments and percussion instruments. That would be gross overcategorisation.
Perhaps for articles such as this one, which cover a whole class of musical instruments rather than one specific instrument, we should be flexible as to whether or not we add the article to the :Category:Percussion instruments by tradition subtree.
