message: Despite the fact that hungarian language and folklore are not slavic, the hungarian name of the creature appears in the list of the various slavic languages in the beginning of the article.

Talk:Hindu rate of growth

message: Any discussion of the term "Hindu rate of growth" is incomplete without noting that the government of India was in no way connected to Hindu thought or practice during the time in question. Jawaharlal Nehru, who single-handedly set the socialist and non-aligned policies of India, was anything but a Hindu in outlook. Moreover, it is extremely disturbing that a term that denounces and ridicules a billion Hindus should continue to exist. No one talks of a socialist or Communist or Jewish rate of growth. Only Hindus are defamed in this manner.  Sooku (talk) 04:42, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Touch football (American)

message: Touch and flag football are effectively just variations of the same game. The only difference is that tackling is accomplished via flag-pulling or hand-contact. Street football (American) falls under the same umbrella. I see no reason for these not to be combined in a single article. The heading could be any of the three, or something like Non-tackle American football. Otherwise we will have three different versions of the same article varying only with regard to the specifics of what constitutes a tackle. Thomas Craven (talk) 15:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the article, street football involves tackling, so it is somewhat different from either touch or flag football. in my experience, touch football tneds more towards the informal, pickup vafriety of game, often with ad hoc rules; whgile flag football is more often played in organized situations, however i have on rare occasions seen people tear args into strips for a pickup game of flag.Wschart (talk) 19:14, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

message: This sentence was poorly placed in the rules section of the article.

thread_title:  Tochito 

message: I see some mention of "tackling" requiring two hands to be placed on someone. But I've always heard it and myself referred to it as "two touch" football, opposed to one touch that some people prefer. Two always seemed to work better and gave both the runner and defense a level field that I feel better emulated the conditions of which most play stopping tackles occur in traditional football just without the tackling.

thread_title: Ancient Greece

message: With the topic worry stone I realized from the beginning there was a lot of valuable information that needed to stay on the Wikipedia page. There was an abundance of information that I researched form various sites that talked about what exactly worry stones are and a little history about them which I thought was important to include. I added headings to the Wikipedia page to create more of a clear cohesive article and this allowed for me to talk to put information into different sections. Worry stones are more of a personal thing, and people with anxiety generally use them. I thought incorporating a diy section would make it fun and personable to readers. An addition of a picture of how to hold them would be a an easy way to determine if people are holding them correctly. Adding more information to the topic I had to make sure I was citing the information, therefore there was an additional 3-6 websites that I cited throughout the page. One last thing that I did was added links to the other articles. Glafl002 (talk) 00:57, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Kenneth Koch

message: There was a Simpsons episode in which Grampa Simpson recalls his fighter pilot brother's feud with Santa Claus....
I wonder if this is Koch influenced.
-Way, way too many quotations of his work, and uncited comments that he was a master. This article reads like glowing praise, not an objective biography.
:I've had no hand in the article, but it's pretty unquestioned these days that he was a master.  The label of "major poet" is contentious, but Koch was probably one.  The tone of this article is too personal, but the problem isn't so much in the conclusions it reaches as the AA Alvarez sort of "I remember well" vibe that it exudes.  It reads more like Donald Hall than Yvor Winters.  (Citations are not needed for facts found in three or more general and authoritative sources (e.g. Ohm's Law doesn't need a citation), but the first person narrative of the article is obviously off.)

Talk:Polyglotta Africana

message: It would be interesting to know how Kölle was able to capture his observations by means of Lepsius' General Linguistic Alphabet in the Polyglotta in 1854, considering that the Alphabet was not published until 1855.  Perhaps he was acquainted with Lepsius and received a pre-publication copy...?  Or was it some other phonetic system?
In any case we may assume that the entries were phonetic transcriptions, not phonological analyses, may we not?  Thus, the virgules in the text should probably be replaced with square brackets.

message: The original author of the article copied all dates of the Japanese lunisolar calendar to Gregorian calendar dates without properly converting them.
For example, the death of Ii Naosuke happened on the 3rd day, 3rd month of 7th year of Ansei (安政七年三月三日). In the Gregorian calendar, that is Saturday, March 24, 1860, not March 3. This mistake probably happened because the Japanese article :ja:大老 uses the old Japanese calendar dates without a special notice. 
Solution 1: Convert all dates to Gregorian calendar.
Solution 2: Write them in the format 1860/3/3 and add a note that this refers to the classic Japanese calendar. --Mkill (talk) 11:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
