Talk:Tsujigiri

message: I love this word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.190.9.48 (talk) 03:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:   Word and relationship to drive-by killings 

message: According to this page, tsujigiri "was especially rampant during the early Edo period", which started in 1603. However, tsujigiri was prohibited by the government in 1602. Aside from this specific problem there is a more general problem with this page: it is very difficult to verify. There seem to be very few, if any, reliable sources on tsujigiri. Most available sources on the internet just seem to copy each other, and in history books the phenomenon is rarely mentioned. (I do remember reading somewhere (in Japanese) that even before the formal prohibition, the practice was not (morally or otherwise) accepted, and that those who practiced tsujigiri in the Edo period were not samurai, but bands of criminals from which later the yakuza evolved. Unfortunately I cannot find this source again.) In any case, it would be useful if someone with more expertise in relevant aspects of Japanese history could look into the subject and improve this page, but until then, I would suggest marking the page in some way to show that its reliability is questionable.

thread_title:  Reliable sources and Edo period 

message: The section "Mary Midgley's "Trying Out One's New Sword"" says:
> Contrary to her description, however, the historical record provides no indication that it was ever condoned. Nor is it clear that samurai actually slashed people in the street for the purpose of testing their swords. The idea that tsujigiri was done as a means of testing a sword may derive from confusion with the term tameshigiri, meaning "test-cutting".
However, the article's introduction says:
> Tsujigiri (辻斬り or 辻斬, literally "crossroads killing") is a Japanese term for a practice when a samurai, after receiving a new katana or developing a new fighting style or weapon, tests its effectiveness by attacking a human opponent, usually a random defenseless passer-by, in many cases during nighttime.

replies: text:  (Sorry for my delay.)  If there isn't a reliable source cited, and you don't have one to add from elsewhere, then we just don't add anything.  That's a key part of the policy: "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."  No reliable source, no adding it.  However, as an example, Rotten Tomatoes is a reliable source, and we may use it to expand the article.  —  Fourthords | =Λ= | 23:00, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Cetinje Octoechos

message: I don't think they should be merged, as they appear to relate to different books. But both claim to be the earliest Cyrillic printed books and the other has the earlier date - this should be sorted out. Does "Oktoih" mean "Psalter"? If so both articles should have more specific titles, and should explain the term.   Johnbod 03:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The Oktoih is not the Book of Psalms or Psalter.  It is the Book of Eight Tones, known as the Octoechos in Greek and as the Oktoih or Oktoikh (depending on how you transliterate the Cyrillic letter X) in Slavonic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octoechos_(liturgy).  The page refers to it as "a book of liturgical hymns for singing in eight parts."  This erroneusly implies that it is some kind of part-book for polyphonic singing.  Not so.  Like the system of Gregorian Chant, the Octoechos uses eight modes or tones.  Thus, the individual volumes would be more accurately referred to in English as "Octoechos, tone 1" and "Octoechos, tone 5" rather than "Oktoih, the first voice" and "Oktoih, the fifth voice".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.116.196.130 (talk) 17:41, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The title of this page is wrong. NTEN doesn’t stand for “The Nonprofit Technology Enterprise Network”, it’s literally named just “NTEN”. There is no source for the acronym on the page, and the only books that state that the name is an acronym disagree - Kit Seeborg and Andrea Meyer use the acronym that’s on the page in their book, https://books.google.ca/books?id=whcwnUcme3QC&pg=SA2-PA48  but David Nour refers to it instead as the “NonProfit Technology Network”. https://books.google.ca/books?id=iZgzAQAAQBAJ&pg=PT172  All other sources, and the organization’s own website, simply refer to the organization as NTEN. I believe we should change the name of the page to be more consistent with that literature,https://books.google.ca/books?id=nlD_OUxrXKsC&pg=PA83https://www.thenonprofittimes.com/npt_articles/nonprofits-fight-sale-of-org-registry/https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2019/04/25-nonprofit-it-influencers-worth-follow-2019 especially when if it is an acronym, it’s uncertain what that acronym would be (though I assure you it’s not an acronym, as I work for the organization). 2605:8D80:407:39A6:698E:A632:4936:B2D (talk) 06:49, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I've removed it. That guilt-by-association is extremely questionable with regard to BLP policy, and it was also problematic because the text was copied from the cited source, with disregard for copyright. Thanks for pointing out the problematic section. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 23:13, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

text: I would not classify reverting these changes as sanitation. For a deeper understanding of how biographies of living people should be written, please review WP:BLP. Firstly, the style guidelines state that "BLPs should be written responsibly, cautiously, and in a dispassionate tone, avoiding both understatement and overstatement." Several of the phrases used in the reverted edit such as "rabid anti-Semite" and "Nazi sympathizer" seem intentionally and unnecessarily inflammatory. Secondly, the source Bill613.com is not a reliable source. I only mention these two problems to point out why the edit is a no-go from the beginning. Even if the section was cleaned up, editors are required to "Remove immediately any contentious material about a living person that is unsourced or poorly sourced; that is a conjectural interpretation of a source (see No original research); that relies on self-published sources, unless written by the subject of the BLP (see below); or that relies on sources that fail in some other way to meet Verifiability standards." The edit which you are trying to restore clearly falls under that umbrella and will continue to be reverted as such. I reccomend that you read some of the BLPs of other subjects who have been involved in controversy, because you will find that the pages are not attack pages. This is not a case of special treatment. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 13:50, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
