Talk:Pedro Álvares Cabral

message: Roman coins have been found in today's Venezuela, northwest of Brazil, presumably from ships that were carried away by storm in ancient times.
This sentence is from the section "Forerunners". It seems to be asserting that some Roman coins there suggest that ancient peoples actually sailed to the New World. Furthermore, the sentence seems to be asserting this as a fact, as though it were broadly accepted within the scientific community. Surely this must be bad sourcing..?

replies: text: The sentence does not assert that ancient European contact is an established fact, merely that this is a presumptive explanation for the finds.

thread_title:  Ancient discovery of America? 

message: I deleted again the sentence "The practice had obvious pitfalls, since authority could as easily be given to highly incompetent and unfit people as it could fall to talented leaders such as Afonso de Albuquerque or Dom João de Castro." My previous deletion was reverted by Lecen. I do not want to start a reversion battle, but this statement, as applied to the practice of appointing noble people for any posts, is a very general, not very deep, a-historical remark about the role of nobility, which has no place in an article about P.A. Cabral. The opinions about Afonso de Albuquerque and João de Castro are also too PoV-ish, even if they come from Boxer, and surely unfitting for an article about Cabral. Articles about the Brazilian and Portuguese history -- not the articles about other European colonialist countries and their former colonies -- are full of this kind of bullshit, and we should all unite to remove it. Velho (talk) 22:13, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  The practice had obvious pitfalls 

message: User Lecen keeps reverting my accurate minor correction to the article so here's a record for any future reality-based revision. Cabral didn't "discover" Brazil. The place that became Brazil was already inhabited for thousands of years when Cabral became the first recorded European to voyage there.
My accurate correction: Cabral "was a Portuguese nobleman, military commander, navigator and explorer regarded as the first European to voyage to Brazil."
The inaccurate reversion repeatedly promoted by Lecen: "was a Portuguese nobleman, military commander, navigator and explorer regarded as the discoverer of Brazil."

message: Why change "cable car system" to "aerial tram"?  Here they're known as cable cars! Thrapper 22:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cable car is ambiguous - please see Cable car which is a disambiguation page. Lots of transportation systems relying on cables are called "cable cars", so the more specific term Aerial tramway is appropriate here, especially since the funicular it replaces could also be called a cable car - and you don't want to write "a cable car replaced by a cable car" when the replacing transportation system is something very different... 00:56, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Debatable point.  Personally I had no clue what an aerial tramway was until I clicked on the link - it doesn't help if noone understands what it is.  The system being replaced could be called a funicular, or a cable train, but I would never call it a cable car.  As far as I'm concerned a "tramway" runs on rails, and doesn't hang from a cable.  Calling it "aerial" implies (to me) that the rails are suspended in the air and the tram runs on top of those rails.  Maybe this is a regional issue, but this particular system is in Europe.

thread_title: burial Time

message: The dismissal of the etymology of Hall=salt seems too conclusive.  
Hall is close to a form meaning salt in Brythonic languages. Saying that continental Celts did not use the same form does not preclude the etymology.  As I understand it, Brythonic celts made their way across continental Europe prior to the Goidelic peoples.  Thus they could have left a mark on place names. It is one thing to say that you cannot claim with any certainty that "Hall" comes from celtic for salt. But dismissing the etymology altogether seems tendentious. Johngfox
The Celts essentially came from central Europe, so it's not reasonable to suggest that Brythonic or Goidelic peoples passed through continental Europe on the way to the British Isles. It is fairly reasonable to assume that the same kinds of sound changes that occur in one branch of a language family (e.g. Brythonic) occur independently within another branch (e.g. eastern continental Celtic), likely motivated by the same stimuli. So it is reasonable to assume that whatever changed s > h in Brythonic would do the same in some continental languages. What is not reasonable is to make a pronouncement against the widely accepted view that hall in Hallstatt comes from Celtic with utterly no support for that position (like a citation for example). And suggesting that 'hall' comes from an OHG word meaning salt is just silly, given that salt is salt across Germanic (even going back to Gothic), except in High German (Old, Middle, & New) where it is Salz (owing to the High German consonant shift). Accordingly, I've changed the etymology to reflect was is more widely accepted. Any competing theories could be noted, but should include some source attribution and should be noted as controversial. Oskilla (talk) 05:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The German article explains (with ref) that this idea, while traditionally taught, is simply wrong, and that the hall element simply comes from a Germanic word meaning "salt crust", which is related to Latin callum and unrelated with Welsh halen, the similarity being completely accidental. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 15:47, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

text: Some things that appear blindingly obvious are still wrong. For example, it appears completely obvious that the Earth is flat and fixed and that the Sun revolves around it. Yet we know that this is not so. This is especially true in etymology, see false cognate. The tool to uncover such all-too-human mistakes is called science. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 11:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Says at end of intro;
"When such a change occurs, people who have had the illness in the past will lose their immunity to the new strain and vaccines against the original virus will also become less effective."
Couple of things, or questions. Does the antigenic shift result in a new strain? Either way people never had immunity to this "new version" of the virus, so how can they loose immunity? The "original virus" must refer to the unchanged/undrifted virus, so why would "old" vaccines become less effective against "old" viruses? Of course it should be read as saying the old vaccine will be less effective against the "new" virus, but one is slightly perplexed by the time one gets there - so not sure what it means!

Talk:List of object-relational database management systems

message: I suggest that this page be deleted. Most major RDBMSes support user defined types (UDTs) and user defined functions (UDFs). And the relational model has never objected to UDTs, so the object-relational concept is bogus - or at least not important enough to make a list-page for.
It makes more sense to view UDFs and UDTs as potential capabilities of an RDBMS, just as support for materialized views - for example - is a feature of some RDBMSes. Thus, such feature-columns could very well be added to the Comparison of relational database management systems page. TroelsArvin 16:21, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The referent of "these" is presumably meant to be "markets" rather than "Thursdays" (the only plural noun in the preceding sentence). Is the intended sense "markets continue on Thursdays"?
