Talk:Doctor (title)

message: Wow you seem to have successfully ignored the existence of about 32 countries in your "Americas" section... Well done!
In Mexico, we use Doctor titularly when addressing either a medical practitioner or a PhD holder (we don't call it PhD, we call it "doctorado" as in doctorate). In colloquial speech, only medical practitioners referred to as "Doctor", and demanding to be addressed as one when not a medical practitioner is viewed as arrogant and distasteful. Furthermore, in most of Latin America career professionals with university degrees are addressed according to their vocation. E.g. People with engineering degrees are addressed as "Ingeniero", prefixed as "Ing." in writing and colloquially can be shortened to "inge", often omitting the person's name when addressing them directly. For people with architectural degrees: "Arquitecto", "Arq." and "arqui", respectively. For most liberal arts or law degrees: "Licenciado", "Lic." and "lic", respectively. The title "Profesor(a) " is used instead when the person is also a teacher, abbreviated as "Prof." or "profe" in colloquial speech, regardless of the person's area of expertise. Additionally, holders of Masters degrees are never referred to as "Master" but teachers in non-university settings are referred to as "Maestro(a)". //Citations needed for everything but I'm sure you'll manage to find them. 213.137.70.51 (talk) 07:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Charlie Parker

message: While doing some research of 1930 census records I came across Charlie Parker Jr and his parents Charles Sr and Addie in the 1930 census living on W34 st Kansas City.
https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/004951783?i=14&cc=1810731.
Ages recorded are:  Sr. 41 years, Addie 32 years, Jr 9 yrs, and the age of his parents at their first marriage as 27 (Charles) and 18 (Addie), so they were married in about 1916.
I somehow ended up looking at the Findagrave entry for Charlie Parker then his family.  His entry shows a photo of him interred next to his mother who died in 1967.  The entry includes links to the entry for Chan Berg (1925-1999), and a son Leon Francis (1938-2004), but no mention of Baird who is included as his son in this article.
I'm putting this here because somebody ho has more than a passing interest might want to dig around and find records for Leon Francis Parker that establishes his parentage for inclusion in this article, also for something more official that establishes the parentage of Baird.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:EA01:1090:FD6E:1026:8434:5BF3 (talk) 08:24, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Pwyll

message: Disambiguate and copyedit; also del "who could only be killed by a mortal" because while that is what many scholars think is the reason, the text does not specify why Pwyll was successful and Arawn was not.  
Arawn is the Lord of Annwn/Annwfn, not a god, though Annwfn is the Welsh otherworld, it is not a mere underworld.
Rhiannon is not dressed in gold the metal, but in gold silk brocade; her horse is described in the Welsh in "supernatural" terms as a shining white horse, an otherworldly horse.
I'll try to come back later and fill in some of the more important details, like the dates, -- much of the action hinges around calen Mai/May Day and May eve, equivalent to Beltaine in Irich myth. I'll also add a bibliography, if wikipedians aren't sick to death of Celtic bibs <g>

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals.

*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

message: Should the title of this article have diacritics (Ahiṃsā), or not (Ahimsa)? Most articles have preferred the latter: Sanskrit instead of Saṃskṛta, Rigveda instead of Ṛgveda,Shanti instead of Śāntiḥ, etc. There have been equally viable arguments for and against the usage of diacritics in article titles: supplying the diacritics better respects the original language and culture, one may argue, but not every device can display diacritics, and the title might appear to some as "Ahi□s□", or something like that, which can be considered even worse to the original language and culture than leaving the diacritics out.

I know nothing about this, but what I learned just now, as my wife just bought her own sewing machine. Here's a similar model, for home quilting, with even more features:

 • 200 Stitches, including alphabet
 • 12 buttonholes; automatic one step
 • Built in, one-hand needle threader
 • Automatic thread trimming
 • Start/stop button (with slow start)

 • Locking stitch button; reverse stitch button
 • Stitch memory: programmable for up to 50 combined patterns
 • Speed control slider
 • Extra-high presser foot lift
 • Adjustable foot pressure
 • Backlit LCD screen
