Talk:Indigenous peoples of the Americas/Archive 3

message: I moved the Vine Deloria bit to the end of this section. I'm not sure it should be included at all. The guy was a great Native activist, yes, but that book cannot really be considered a contribution to the subject at hand. He dismisses all modern archaeology, geology, and other sciences. I mean, the guy is a Young Earth proponent, lumps all Native oral histories together (thus misrepresenting them and taking selected ones literally) and even claims that dinosaurs coexisted with native peoples.

thread_title: Original peopling of the Americas

message: The first paragraph says Columbus referred to indigenous peoples of the Americas as Indians as he thought he had reached India. This is not so. It was not a mistake. He got the name from the Italian, "in dio", meaning "in 'the all-knowing/all-wise' (god)". It was not a mistake. Just a title, or nickname, if you will, that he gave to the natives. It just evolved from Indio to Indians.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dominatrixdave (talk • contribs) 06:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

This article should not read like an 'obituary.' It should quickly and succinctly state why this person is 'notable' (above the ordinary person whose death appears in the newspaper obituary). Statements like that I just deleted fail to rise above the ordinary.  It should be noted that articles for persons older than this were deleted for being 'not notable.' I suggest trying to keep the material here at an encyclopedic level.Ryoung122 11:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Coreopsis bigelovii

message: Jepson 2nd ed. 2012 has this renamed to Leptosyne bigelovii. Is there a reason not to rename this article? FloraWilde (talk) 10:41, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there is often variation in how genera are treated in different floras. In this case, the Flora of North America still considers the species to be in Coreopsis, which might be an argument against. There may also be issues relating to consistency with other articles. At the moment, Leptosyne redirects to is listed at Coreopsis as a synonym, and all its species are likewise treated as Coreopsis species. I think you would have to propose moving all those articles, and amending the Coreopsis article to reflect its narrower circumscription (which may also have knock-on effects requiring other genera to also be recognised, for all I know). That's quite an undertaking. I'm not saying don't do it, but, ideally, don't do it piecemeal. Perhaps ask at WT:PLANTS if anyone familiar with the local flora (which I am not) has any opinions. --Stemonitis (talk) 18:02, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Ball Barratt

message: I have considerably expanded this page using a few available sources. Most of the information on Barratt seems to come from Donald Gee, which is unsurprising as Gee knew him and set out to document the history of Pentecostalism. Nevertheless, other sources would be useful. Frodsham wrote some Pentecostal history too and knew Barratt so perhaps there is information in his books (which I do not have).
I do not have information on Barratt's family. Parent names, and was he married? did he have children? If he was married, it is strange his wife is not mentioned so perhaps he was not.
There is also some lack of clarity in the sources I have available as to when he went to America and when he returned to Oslo. As he died in Oslo, he presumably did return.
Other editors may also wish to consider whether I have given too much weight to any information. There is more about his trip to Sunderland than his other travels, but this is just down to the sources: Gee is interested in Pentecostalism in the UK in particular so we know all about that but less about the other trips. The link with Boddy is important, but I wonder what we may be missing about his other travels.Sirfurboy (talk) 11:35, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

There is a lot of manager tables that show the win %, but this is not always a good measure of a quality manager, where as the number of points per game is.
Now I know the points system changed in football a while back, but if as a rule the 3 for a win 1 for a draw model is used, it would be ivery nteresting to see which Manager secured the most points (per game) during their time in charge.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.231.27 (talk) 19:26, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello Drmies,
I made an enrichment of the bibliography, but you reverse it. I don't see in what way a bibliography is considered as a "resume" document. Academic research is based on detailed and large bibliographies. All these references are potential sources, and constitute a basis to improve this article (a work I just begun). I built this bibliography consulting many of these books, and by matching their own bibliographies. I don't see what the difference is between the few previous references in the article (Thomas Hirschhorn: Establishing a Critical Corpus, Thomas Hirschhorn: Deleuze Monument ...) and the ones I added. If it can be improved and corrected, please specify me how. Thank you very much for your collaboration. Kindest regards, Un Ptyx (talk) 13:10, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Category talk:Vaipulya sutras

message: The category page redlinks Vaipulya sutra. I've just spent a couple of hours surfing Google scholar, but I couldn't find enough to justify an article. "Vaipulya sutra" seems to be a synonym for "Mahayana sutra" that was used at a certain period of history; everyone agrees that "vaipulya" means something like "extensive", but I couldn't find any scholars willing to  give a reason why "extensiveness" became a virtue, demarcate the period of history during which this virtue was cultivated, or say anything other than that Vaipulya sutra is a synonym for Mahayana sutra.

Talk:Thomas Walker (slave trader)

message: I'm having a little trouble with the genealogy of this. The main source is the Slate article which seems very solid (much better researched than most articles in the general media, in fact) but has its problems (for example, its reliance on Macauley, a source that I found ambiguous). But what struck me here was the source "Baptismal record" with absolutely no further description. No reputable (or even beginner) genealogist would leave a source hanging like that, which leads me to question the rest of the information. It seems to me to be particularly important to be cautious, given that the name "Thomas Walker" was wildly common at the time (and pretty common even now, as seen in your disambiguation page for the name). alacarte (talk) 14:41, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: When you say Macaulay are you talking T.B or Zachary? As I'm currently reading Zachary's journals and they are pretty unambiguous as to the nature of the man.
