thread_title:  Names of God in Judaism 

message: It seems confusing to me to say in the article that the pronunciation of the Hebrew letter ד varies with the dagesh. Some of the other pages talking about Hebrew pronunciation and alphabet contradict this one by saying it's always just /d/ and never /ð/. Off the top of my head, I the the /ð/ version was used in biblical Hebrew, and probably swims around in a few accents today, but it's just odd that there's not a consensus between pages.
This leads to a more important issue which is that there's not even one reference for this page. Most of the previous paragraph is literally just my opinion, which isn't what Wikipedia is really for, but right now this page is at the same level. I sort of wonder about the use or scope of these Semitic abjad pages in general because there are a surprising number of them with little or no references, or with long sections with no references. To me it makes more sense to put lot of this information in more expanded letter-by-letter sections of the "Hebrew Alphabet" and "Arabic Alphabet" articles. Those articles are pretty long already with a lot of tables that do a pretty good job of summarizing what in these abjad pages, but they might be a bit more organized as well if they followed (in part) a letter-by-letter approach.

Talk:Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport

message: I was just wondering if Galeão really is the biggest airport in Brazil. Guarulhos in São Paulo ought to be a bigger and more busy one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.218.13 (talk) 12:28, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: São Paulo is busier but, as the article states, Galeão is the biggest airport site. In other words, the area occupied by Galeão is larger than the one occupied by Guarulhos. This area includes terminals, aprons, runways, maintenance hangars, cargo terminals etc. Take a similar case in the US, Dallas has an area larger than let's say Los Angeles, although LAX, I guess, is busier. The consequence is that Galeão has plenty of room to grow whereas this is not the case with Guarulhos. Furthermore Galeão has indeed the longest runway in Brazil, with 4.000m (Brunoptsem (talk) 22:19, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Biggest airport

message: Just a clarification: VRG Linhas Aéreas, the operator of the brand Gol Airlines, purchased some years ago the brand Varig (only the brand and some rights, not the assets) giving rise to the common mistake of mixing the so-called "old" Varig with "new" Varig. The original Varig ("old" Varig) is presently known as Flex Linhas Aéreas and only operates flights on behalf of other airlines, particularly Gol Airlines, under G3 flight numbers. The present Varig ("new" Varig) refers to a completely new airline started in 2005. In 2008, "New" Varig and Gol Airlines were merged under the name of VRG Linhas Aéreas but the brands Gol and Varig were kept separate. Although both use the IATA code G3, Gol has all economy class aircraft whereas the "new" Varig operates Boeings 737-700 with business and economy classes, on longer-haul flights and to holiday destinations. To put in short, presently the planes with the name Varig refer to the "new" Varig and not to the "old" Varig. (Brunoptsem (talk) 00:11, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Removed:
:In addition, New Amsterdam has two churches and a general store; this is also serves as evidence against the town having a population of one.
This provides no such evidence.  Given that, according to the article New Amsterdam is only 0.1 square miles large, it is not unreasonable to assume that the churches may serve members who live nearby, but outside the boundaries of New Amsterdam, and that (likewise) the general store may have customers who live nearby, but outside New Amsterdam's borders.  Some of his other evidence is more persuasive (such as the family on the lawn).  Of course, this does not preclude the possibility that the house was outside the technical borders of New Amsterdam.

And Terry McLean's comments as well: Great? Sort of. Greatest? No. The feeling is of pity that some of our rugby not only tolerates but applauds dangerous play which can result in injuries which turn men, especially young men, into cripples. (Quoted from here).
The fact that Meads is revered by so many people in NZ shouldn't preclude the inclusion of such things in the article. After all, it's not hard to find negative comments about Bradman or Ali. 86.132.138.23 02:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bournonville method

message: Bournonville was trained in what is considered today to be the "french school" - a method of teaching which is, for the most part, totally extinct in France and the rest of the world, except for in Denmark.
What people call today "The Bournonville style" is this style of dance, which was also the style performed in Russia until the innovations of the Italian school in the late 19th century and, later, Vaganova's methods of the 1920s and 30s.
When recent reconstructions of some of Petipa's ballets (such as "La Bayadere", parts from his version of "Le Corsaire", "The Awakening of Flora", "The Sleeping Beauty") were first shown, many people commented that "the choreography looks alot like Bournonville". 
Indeed, Bournonville's works preserve this wonderful style of dance, which really is, in my opinion, TRUE ballet dancing, with out all of the circus-like innovations brought to the table - however indirectly - by Vaganova and her successors.
Anyway I felt the article should discuss this.
