Talk:Hills in Edinburgh

message: "however, this is actually untrue" -- not the best phrasing, perhaps. I'll try to improve it. EdC 10:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: I've done a re-write - feel free to improve on it!
I've attempted to tidy up the 7 hills bit, and have added heights for some of them (though couldn't find all of them).
I've also added in a comment about the 7 hills race not doing Wester Craiglockhart. I've run the race twice and know that this is the case, but I don't know exactly why - I assume because it is private property, but if anyone else knows better, please correct me.
I've also added a new section about the hilly nature of streets in the centre of Edinburgh - not sure if this belongs here, but I think it helps to explain many people's perception of Edinburgh as a hilly city, even if they never get as far as Corstorphine or the Braids (let alone the Pentlands !)
If anyone disagrees with any of the above, as I say, feel free to improve it. GeraldH 16:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Re-write

message: I don't think the following statement makes sense:  "There are also hills beneath the New Town, and the Old Town to the south of the Cowgate. Some of these hills rise to heights substantially above the traditional seven — for example parts of Fairmilehead at 183m." I think the word 'beneath' may be the problem. Does it mean 'under' the buildings rather than lower down the slopes? Also, "Some of these hills..." can't be exemplified by Fairmilehead which lies well away from both Old and New Towns.

text: According to the above discussion topic it is a "short Japanese spear used for mounted combat and for samurai on foot". I'm sure all the other samurai didn't carry one sword against armour and another against horses, and a third against "infantry in general". Read a bit about how a Samurai chose his sword, and you can bet this spear was chosen in a similar way, with the design anything the particular master fighter felt most comfortable wielding and fielding against whatever might come his way. --BjKa (talk) 18:48, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Behind the sofa

message: The argument keeps arising that sofas are traditionally pressed against the walls of a room, thereby making this phrase rather bizarre. I kind of object to this, as at least anecdotally only about half the households I've encountered have had their sofas pressed against the walls. The rest of the time (including my mother's house in Maine and nearly every TV commercial I've seen in my life), they're in the center of the living room, allowing traffic to pass on all sides. Now, some reference might be made to the debate -- though the debate strikes me as itself rather bizarre to start with. There are no real standards to interior decoration.

Did Irish Catholics often take part in hunting down Irish Rapparees during the 17th century? I have heard the Parliamentary armies in Ireland were forced to enlist Irish Catholics, who knew who the Irish Rapparees were, to capture them. Please let me know if this is true.

Bisht is the surname of the Rajput caste in Uttarakhand while Bista is a surname of the Chhetri caste of Nepal. Both are widely accepted as Kshatriya castes before the modern border came, they naturally were part of the same geographical entity of ancient South Asia. 
Bisht and Bista are only romanization variant of the same name in Devanagari बिष्ट if you can understand Devanagari (Hindi, Nepali, Kumaoni, Garhwali). So, you can merge the less popular term "Bista" article into the more popular Indian version "Bisht". 2400:1A00:B011:68F:C026:7D02:A2C2:7CA5 (talk) 03:06, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

:Stephen turned to Pippin the Younger, Mayor of the Palace of the Kingdom of the Franks. Pippin took the opportunity to ask Stephen the question: "Who should be king of the Franks: the one with the title or the one with the power?" Stephen agreed that the one with the power should be King of the Franks. Pippin deposed Childeric III and the Franks chose Pippin as King.
This exchange actually occurred between Pippin (via St. Boniface) and Pope Zacharias, and Pippin was crowned king in 751, the year before Stephen III's papacy began. That is, unless someone is using some source I've never seen. Luchaire 08:41, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
