Talk:The Moon (tarot card)

message: A wild dog and a wolf, howling at the Moon. Waite describes this event as representing "the fears of the natural mind in the presence of that place of exit, when there is only reflected light to guide it." 
Incorrect phrase editing. Quoting Waite's complete phrase from The Pictorial Key to the Tarot:
The dog and wolf are the fears of the natural mind in the presence of that place of exit, when there is only reflected light to guide it.
Clearly his phrase associates the dog and the wolf themselves to be "the fears of the natural mind", and not as the edited phrase says - "this event" (interpreted as the howling event). The edit should be undone.

thread_title:  Revision 05:51, 8 April 2006 incorrect 

message: The article is just personal opinions from occult enthusiasts about the nature and meaning of a particular tarot card. No peer reviewed books or journal articles are cited. No references or footnotes are given. When a new statement is added, the source needs to be cited, and the source needs to be verifiable, and reliable. Waite is not an unbiased, factual source on the history or evolution of tarot cards. The work can be cited properly, however: "Waite's opinion in his book The Pictorial Key to the Tarot ... etc"
The card in question has a history of over 500 years in European card games in which it is used as trump card (see Tarocchi). The article is unbalanced in that it only features the recent uses of the card for divination. This makes the article biased due to its recentism. Since the article ignores use of the card for game play in Europe and other parts of the world, it offers an anglo-american perspective that raises NPOV issues. There are academic sources and sources from international organizations discussing the history and evolution of the "Moon" card as well as its use in games. These need to be utilized. - Parsa 06:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

:Hi, I don't think he ever actually played for the team so I'm not sure if the categorisation is valid.  He was definitely signed to the club - plenty of resources back this up , , .

Talk:Shabran District

message: The word Davachi means Medicine Man, a person who makes and/or sells medicine. The word Davā is Persian and means Medicine and the affix chi is Turkic and refers to one's profession. If I am not mistaken, the word Davā has its root in the Old Persian word Daēva, meaning Divine Being. That this is not too far-fetched can be appreciated by considering that in ancient times (and even in modern times, if one considers very traditional and tribal societies, such as those in Africa, in the Amazon region and in America, amongst the Indian-Americans) the medicine man was at the same time a religious person, or a person bestowed with divine powers. The power of medicine to make an ill person healthy or to remove pain, must have always seemed as originating from a divine being. One should realise that until not long ago Davachi was part of Iran and Āzari is an Iranian language. In fact, until one or two generations ago all persons who ran a drug-store were called Davāchi in Iran and further I have known a very old Iranian family by the name Davāchi. Incidentally, Camels are not animals that one would find on the rim of the Caspian Sea, where climate is wet and temperate. In short, it is a mystery to me how Davachi can be related to Camel Handler. In any case, the text says "appears to come from". Where does it "appear" from?! The text further does not provide even a single reference for this outlandish claim as Davachi meaning Camel Handler. --BF 11:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Mocha (beverage)

message: These two articles really should be merged.  Although there are many variations of the Mocha beverage, a compilation of these deffinitions would be appropriate as they all have the same history.  Also to be noted is that the term Mocha comes from the city in Yemen.  However, the drink is American and the name only comes from that city being one of the historically larger coffee ports.
August, Oregon Certified Barista
:From what I can gather, Mocha was originally a particular variety of coffee, made without cocoa, but which tasted as if it had cocoa in it, and modern usage usually refers to an imitation of it using other coffee varieties and cocoa. See the Yemen Coffee Processing Company's website. A print source would be better. Hairy Dude 17:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Kalbajar District

message: In the introduction, we read Before the outbreak of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh in 1992, it was a predominantly Kurdish inhabited area. The section Demographics (1989) says:
Azerbaijanians 83.19% (55.082),
Armenians 14.79% (9.794),

Talk:Principality of Khachen

message: The issue does not seem to be one of sources, so much as interpretation of those sources.  Some considerable time prior to the Hasan Jalalyan dynasty the area was part of what geographers at the time (50 AD) called Albania.  During the more recent periods it was part of what geographers then called Armenia. As early as 387 AD in the Byzantium-Persia Treaty, Albania (old sense) was considered a subset of Armenia. By the 6th Century the name Albania was no longer used having been replaced by Arran. In the 8th Century Arran (to the east) was separated from Khachen (to the west), .  Despite the "in-depth" research into scholarly tomes indulged in by the parties above, the article has not been expanded with regard to the origins of the Khachen state, nor with regard to its eventual demise. Would that activity not be more fruitful? --Bejnar (talk) 20:04, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Goygol District

message: I am against overlinking, but certain dates in the history of Khanlar are important for context, namely 1819 when Helenendorf was founded as a German city, and 1930 when it was made a rayon.  1819 is important because Helenendorf was part of the colonialization plan of Alexander I of Russia for the new Caucasus territories that Russia had acquired.  1930 is important as the creation of the Khanlar Rayon was part of the reorganization of Russia under the First Five-Year Plan. --Bejnar 15:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The reason I added city extension initially is because there is also famous Lake Goygol located in the same region, which exists since a major earthquake in medieval times, which rocked the city of Ganja and the top of Kyapaz mountain fell blocking the river into a lake.

Talk:New City, Chicago

message: How about using an infobox template? Cacophony 18:50, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose merging the Canaryville article back to the New City article should be reconsidered based on the following: 
1. The recognized community areas defined in Chicago are, regardless of current consideration, still determined by the city, and are current so far as the maps are printed today (in 2009). The reasoning for the defining of areas was exactly for the purposes given to not merge: neighborhood names do change, but the community areas do not. Certainly not at the discretion of WP editors.
2. In case that argument is questioned, here's an example: Canaryville is smaller than Pilsen, yet Pilsen is included as part of the community area Lower West Side, Chicago, which it shares with Heart of Chicago (a Little Italy section).
3. If anything, Bridgeport is more closely connected to Canaryville than is New City, but it doesn't matter so far as the community areas are concerned, because they are both subject to geographic boundaries, not the whims or opinions of Irish Americans living in either.
I urge this matter to be reconsidered. Perhaps some other WikiProject Chicago types could weigh in on this?Ryecatcher773 (talk) 02:30, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Ordinary National Certificate

message: content by 78.146.89.99 moved from article to talk 
I believe the ONC to be equivalent to much more than 2 A levels....
In 1971 I obtained an ONC in electrical and electronic engineering 
with 4 Distinctions and 1 Credit.
ONC was then an entry qualification for BSc(Hons) in electrical and electronic engineering.
The Universities that I applied to (City, Kings, Chelsea) only required 3 Credits or more out of the 5 modules.
It is also worth noting that the HNC with a 3rd year supplimentary certificate was equivalent to a Bachelors Degree.
In 1985 and again in 1993 the qualifications were adjusted to a different equivalence.

replies: text: That really doesn't matter. In fact, most province/district articles don't immediately start with "is a province". For example articles of provinces of Iran (example: West Azerbaijan Province) starts with "is one of the 31 provinces of Iran" or Syunik Province in Armenia which starts with "is the southernmost province", which by your definition should be something like "is a province in southernmost Armenia".

replies: text:  It did not have any name. The district of Lachin is the Soviet creation, and the city was founded in Soviet times too. How could they have any old names?

message: It should be mentioned that the term "Lesser Caucasus" is a Stalin-era inventory. One cannot meet it on the maps before that time. Simultaneously, a title "Big", "Greater", and rearily "Nothern", appeared before the name of the original Caucasus Range at indications in the Soviet maps.
While during long millenium of the history of the region's geography, the Caucasus is considered as a single mountain range. The area, which was called a "Lesser Caucasus" by Stalinists, actually represents the Soviet part of Armenian Highland. So-named "Lesser Caucasus" is distinctly divided from the original Caucasus Range by the Kura-Arax Lowland, while it is not divided from the remained part of Armenian Highland otherwise than by Soviet-Turkish state border. Thus, the term "Lesser Caucasus" shall be referred to as belonging to politology rather than geography.
