Talk:Reginald Brett, 2nd Viscount Esher

message: 'He was evidently sufficiently discreet to avoid becoming entangled in the Cleveland Street Scandal, unlike his friend Lord Arthur Somerset.'
Is this hinting that he was a client, who somehow managed to keep his name out of the papers? Otherwise, the sentence does not seem relevant to anything. Valetude (talk) 20:15, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Odd final sentence 

message: Having just discovered this article for the first time, it comes across to me as crammed with anecdote, name-dropping and nonsequiturs.  The detail about his parents could be more summarily dealt with, his father's biographical article would be the better place for some of it. There needs to be more clarity for the reader as to what refers to the father and what to the son, the 2nd Viscount. It deserves some pruning of detail that is not so closely linked to the subject of this article.Cloptonson (talk) 20:14, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Don't let me stop you weeding it further - it can always be restored if you throw anything important away. There has actually been a biog of Esher out in the shops over the last couple of years; I think it might be a reprint of an older one.

message: "As the Great War concluded Esher intimated that the King wanted his resignation as Lieutenant-Governor of Windsor."
How could Esher resign from a position he did not then hold? I question if there was such a position at the Castle. This sentence relates to 1918 whereas Esher did not become Governor of the Castle until 1928.Cloptonson (talk) 08:09, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Graph labeling

message: Being relatively new to Wikipedia, I'm not sure exactly how to include the footnotes to correspond to my citations. The alpha labelings, etc, all came from the Rosa Paper, as well as the eulerian proof. Other history notes and info about the conjecture is from the Gallian paper.

Talk:University Park, Los Angeles

message: To claim that USC is in West Adams is misleading and inconsistent with local traditon.  If you read these articles  , it becomes pretty clear that West Adams is considered to be the neighborhood north of USC.  The latter article, from the New York Times, identifies Jefferson Blvd as West Adams' southern boundary, which would place USC outside of West Adams.  I appreciate that a USC supporter would want the school to be affiliated with West Adams, but, as someone who has lived here for almost 30 years, it appears to be a seriously doubtful claim.  Until someone can come up with a good source to refute this, I am going to remove West Adams as University Park's district affiliation.--Truthiness 17:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gemology and Jewelry

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

For example, "Her voice helped brighten the group's first two albums," "her debut album… was a classy affair that merged the best of '70s soul and jazz with solid songwriting and tight instrumental support," "a stunning and classy remake", etc. are not corroborated with any sources. The only two citations in this article are for effusive promotional material, which I don't think can (nor should) be counted as third-party sources.

message: The paragraph below needs to be rewritten:  See the Wikipedia article on Lactic acid where exercise is discussed.  There is no lactic acid in a muscle cell and lactic acid is not the cause of muscle acidosis.  
PFK1 is also inhibited by low pH levels which augment the inhibitory effect of ATP. The pH falls when muscle is functioning anaerobically and producing excessive quantities of lactic acid. This inhibitory effect serves to protect the muscle from damage that would result from the accumulation of too much acid.
Suggested replacement:

First of all, apparently - the sun does not move. Although I have heard that in reality it moves very very slowly around a socalled black sun (right?), I wonder how this can be understood, from which planet or star or so.

thread_title:  Meaning 

message: * I disagree with the merger. Circumambulation (which admittedly is not mentioned in this article) is the geographical equivalent of Circumnavigation, meaning to encircle a landmass on land (be it on foot, vehicle, etc). It doesn't just have the religious meaning discussed in this article. I believe the content within the article on Hinduism should be merged with the proposed article, and the original article left behind to both clarify the definition and redirect people to the Hindu practice. Bezza84 (talk) 15:46, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger Proposal

message: The article needs to bring this out clearly. The HINDU reason for clockwise circumambulation at the time of prayer is based on SCIENCE. The purpose of prayer is to bring about internal harmony and alignment of all aspects including the earth's magnetic field. The clockwise circumambulation follows the "right hand rule" in relation to the earth's magnetic field and being centred to the core of the earth. Reading on the subject will lend more clarity on commonsense rather then searching for "authoritative references" on the subject.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheOnlyEmperor (talk • contribs) 11:24, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Dhutanga

message: The article translates dhutanga as "renunciation" and cites  which justifies this translation with the etymology "to abandon (dhuta); state of mind (aṅga)". The derivation of dhūtāṅga from dhūta + aṅga is sound, but the translation of aṅga as as "state of mind" is doubtful. It doesn't even make sense in the context of the article, where it appears in each of the names of each of the thirteen dhutanga practices and seems to be translated as "practice" instead. The usual translation of aṅga is "limb" (cf. Ashtanga) although in some contexts it is metonymically extended to meaning "body", similar to how the Chinese  can mean both the body or just a limb.
According to the Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary dhūta has the primary meaning of "shaken" which is often extended to "shaken-off, abandoned" (which affirms the reference). Accordingly, the expected translation would be something like "shaking-off limbs", "shaking-off the body", or, perhaps less literally, "the limbs of abandonment" referring to each of the thirteen "limbs" of dhutanga, much like the ashtanga refers to the eight limbs or branches of Yoga in the Yoga Sutras. The translation "shaking-off the body" would actually fit the description in the article well: "to help the practitioner to develop detachment with material things including the body".
Therefore, I suspect the reference is wrong. However, I don't know Pali, so maybe I'm mistaken and there's aṅga can mean "state of mind" in some contexts, maybe as "limbs of the mind" or something. Scyrme (talk) 02:58, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

message: This edit in December 2013 added an image related Chaitya Bhoomi to whose file description page on the Commons says "Ambedkar's death anniversary, 6 December, is observed as Mahaparinirvan Din. Lakhs of people across the nation throng Chaityabhoomi to pay homage to him on this day." 
Is "pay[ing] homage to [Ambedkar]" the same the type of offering described in this article?  It doesn't appear to be the case.  I recommend that either the image be removed, OR if the type of offering shown in this image is within the scope of this topic, that the article be expanded to include text which describes the offering this image actually illustrates in the context of a on offering in Buddhism.  If the article already does this, then I missed it.

thread_title:  Is the image added in December 2013 related to accurate for this article? 

message: I am still unsure in reading this article what actually happens to a physical object being given as an offering. If it is a small piece in a candled ceremony, I would assume it is burned, but this is in no way implicitly or explicitly said in the article. More importantly however, for a large offering such as a Buddha's hand citron fruit, it is not specified whether the entire fruit or just a sliver is given as an offering. If the entire fruit is given, is it ceremonially presented and then later processed/eaten as in many other religions? Is it put in a larger bonfire? Obviously it is not left on a shrine to rot and become a fly nursery. 
As I have never seen any type of Buddhist offering ceremony, I would hardly be a good person to add this to the article upon finding written sources on my own when  the other editors watching have first-hand experience with this, so if you could address this gap in explaining how an offering is processed, that would be very helpful.
