Talk:Chʼol people

message: This article is on the Mayan people. There is no connection to the  Dinka of Sudan.--Maunus 05:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Dinka

message: This article could definitely use more of a depth of resources, throughout all the listed topics. It would be interesting to expand upon how the geographical history relates to the actual history of the people, how it developed various cultural aspects of the Ch'ol people. The history is very abrupt and only relates to the history of the Ch'ol people in Mexican history. It would be valuable to explore the history of the Ch'ol people farther back into mayan history. The food and culture section is also very brief, explain more about religion. In what other ways has christianity been altered to fit the culture of the Ch'ol people than the one mentioned? Also more in depth on different cultural practices which are unique to them and what they do day to day, only briefly mentioned how some make an income. Expand upon the history of education, recent developments, has it changed in any way? Improved? Remained stagnant?

Template talk:NZR Passenger

message: I just made this template as I figured it would be a useful addition to link together all the long distance train articles and we have templates for just about anything else (locos, lines, railway operators, TranzAlpine and Overlander stops ...).  I thought it would be useful to leave some notes on the talk page:
1. I basically just lifted the code from  as I know precious little code myself.  I'm not sure if the drop-down menus are really necessary but they look a whole lot nicer than the other code I could've lifted, that on 
2. I realise the historic section is incomplete but I don't know all the historic trains nor do I have information on them.  The three I added that don't yet have pages (Geyserland Express, Kaimai Express, Waikato Connection), I plan to soon make articles on.  I know some trains missing from the long distance section are: South Island Limited, Scenic Daylight, Night Limited, Opua Express, Wairarapa Mail, and the Rotorua Express (might add mention of this to the Geyserland Express page).  I chose not to add them as I have too little information to create pages on them and I didn't want too many red links, but anyone can feel free to add them - and give them articles, which would be even better!
3. I deliberately did not add the Wairarapa Connection.  That is operated by TranzMetro and is technically a commuter service, not a long distance train.  Please do not add it!
To anyone who creates new articles on long distance NZ passenger trains: please add links to the template, thanks!  To anyone good with code: like I said, I'm no good with coding and just copied this from elsewhere, so feel free to enhance it as you see fit. - Axver 05:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm just adding to my earlier comment to say I'm now maintaining a list of historical expresses on my userpage here.  I'll update that as I learn of more trains.  I just wanted a foundation or launching-off point for further articles and expansion of the NZR Passenger template.  I wish I had more resources so that I could write articles on those trains!  If anyone else does have sufficient information, please, start those articles! - Axver 12:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, despite my request above, someone has added the Wairarapa Connection to the template.  Honestly, I'm not too fussed, but perhaps some discussion is warranted.  Does the Wairarapa Connection belong on this template?  Does anyone object to its presence? - Axver 08:01, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:2006 Georgia statewide elections

message: I reformatted the list of candidates for each office to emphasize the candidates still in the running. The changes should be pretty straightforward, but here's what I did and why.
The main thing was to first list the remaining candidates separately (those on the November ballot, including Libertarians). I also bolded the winner in the lists of primary candidates and gave the primary a separate subhead -- since it's still relevant but not as much as the current field. I removed the text giving the November lineup, since it would now be redundant and it also excluded Libertarians, who are legally candidates with just as much ballot status as Rs or Ds. Finally, for offices without contested primaries, I removed the party breakdown and just used the single-sentence summary of the November ballot.
I hope this makes this page easier to use. Please change as needed or put any concerns here. --SuperNova |T|C| 06:00, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Ive modified the text portion of this template because I'm not quite sure 'St Andrian' is the proper usage in this case. Plus, 'alumnus/a' is fairly difficult to read.

Talk:Stratesec

message: I second Cab88's point that this article is lacking much information. What I especially find disturbing is that there is only one external link pointing to a site debunking 911 conspiracy theories. Even if that is a good thing, there should also be an external link representing the other side of the debate. Plus: I just googled and was not able to locate a website for securacom or secura.com or stratesec. Strange. 
This article needs to be cleaned up. It fails to even explain in the intro what Securacom is/was. --Cab88 06:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Some of Margie Burns citations come from her blog - and therefore should not be considered reliable as blogs are not held to the the standards of reliable journalism.

Category talk:Doctor Who pseudohistorical serials

message: I think there is possibly a slight issue with this being in :Category:Doctor Who stories set on Earth as it includes The War Games. Although it initially seems to be set on Earth, it becomes clear that the planet seen is not Earth. Technically it might squeak by as the scene in episode 10 where Jamie returns to his own time is set in Scotland in 1746, although this lasts for less than a minute, so I think saying it is set on Earth is a stretch. Equally the earth segments of Timelash are very brief. Indeed apart from having a character from 1885, the historical element of this story is negligible, so I wonder if it is a stretch to classify it as a pseudohistorical serial? The Chase and The Daleks' Master Plan have longer sequences set in periods of history on Earth, but they are not included. I would be grateful for others' thoughts on these issues. Dunarc (talk) 20:51, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't so much think that's a problem with including this category in the "set on Earth" category, as with including those stories on this list. I don't think stories like The War Games belong here; that one in particular isn't a pseudo-historical, it merely is meant to seem like one at first. 50.72.61.76 (talk) 11:05, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

message: DANFS and other Navy information conflicts with contemporary and historical information from professional sources. DANFS is usually excellent in the naval history, having access to official data and reports, but is occassionally very off on commercial histories of vessels taken into naval service with regard to corporate history associations and other specifics. An example here is launch date of 26 March 1907, including sponsor, while other data shows January or specifically 29 January 1907. The March date may be the completion date rather than the launch date. Palmeira (talk) 14:12, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Pirates Cove Marine Provincial Park

message: I saw the addition to Pirates_Cove_Marine_Provincial_Park about the naming of Cove.  Have to say I think that "swindler" might not be NPOV, although from what I hear of the story it is probably accurate, just not neutral.  What I do wonder though is where the info comes from about him being the source of the name.  I see that at  it says that it had another name in the time he was there so it may have been named Pirates Cove after he was there, but Pirate doesn't seem to me to be a name that he would cause it to be called.

Talk:Sprain

message: I was curious to see this reference. I'm speaking French, English is second language for me. I did a quick search on my French dictionnary for this word "espraindre" and didn't find it. So i magically googled it and found quite a few references (like etymonline) that mention 
a connection has been suggested to M.Fr. espraindre "to press out," from L. exprimere, but the sense evolution is difficult.
Looking for french Texts that contains this word, i found Le ménagier, POREE DE BETTES and most interresting Le "Triomphe d'Henri": étude lexicologique et métalexicologique. Those references, amongst others, seems to point that "Espraindre" is from old french (around 1600). The word to wring in French is currently "tordre". In some conditions (to wring someone's hands) we can use the verb "étreindre". I don't know if it's a natural evolution of "Espraindre".
Anyway, we should not let English readers think the translation of "to wring" is "Espraindre" in current French.

message: Given the clinical ubiquity of this injury, the wiki article is surprisingly brief and littered with inaccuracies.  For example, first-degree sprains do not involve any tearing of the ligament, just over stretching.
