Talk:Kotodama

message: That section begins with The etymology of kotodama is uncertain, but the previous section tells us exactly the etymology of the word, so maybe somebody doesn't know what etymology means. It then goes on to explain about some allegedly related words in Japanese, but the entire section seems useless and unneeded to me. Still, I don't feel like just deleting it, because somebody will probably get pissed. Perhaps someone can come and edit it to make it more sensible, and retitle the section.

message: I have no clue why this article is tagged as "low importance". Kotodama is one of key concept of Shinto and influenced Japanese culture throughout.

Talk:Ōnusa

message: 元来、ヌサとは、神に捧げる布であり、その多くが麻布（まふ）であったからして、文字に麻を当てた。幣の字は神への供物のうち食物以外のものである。大麻は、天照大神の天岩戸（あまのいわど）の説話で奉斎された五百津真賢木（いほつまさかき）榊 万葉神事語辞典（國學院大学）に由来し、『古事記』（712年年成立）では下枝に白丹寸手（しろにぎて）と青丹寸手（あおにぎて）をつけたとされ、『古語拾遺』（807年成立）では麻によって青和幣（あおにぎて）を、穀によって白和幣（しろにぎて）を作ったと記される。延暦23年（804年）の『皇太神宮儀式帳』では、年3度の重要な祭儀の前に祓う様子で奴佐麻（ぬさのあさ）を用い、太玉串の説明にある眞榊に眞麻木綿（まそゆう）を付けたものが太玉串の起源とされ、古くは麻を用いたためその字を当てヌサと称したことから、オオヌサを大麻と表記したと考えられる。大は、立派なといった意味の美称である。祓い具の大麻はそうしたことを形式化したものである。大麻を、大幣とも表記するのは神のはたらきに対し捧げられた供え物、ねぐ（祈る）ために奉献される布帛（ふはく）であることに由来する。
今日一般的なものは、榊の枝または白木の棒の先に紙垂（しで）または麻苧をつけたものである。紙垂だけのものは、略されたものである。式部寮『神社祭式』（1875年）の大麻には榊の枝が使われ、八束清貫の『神社有職故実』（1951年）では、榊の枝に麻のみや、加えて紙垂をつけたものが大麻であると説明され、小麻（こぬさ）と呼ばれるものが木串、細い木、竹を用いたものである。伊勢神宮では枝葉がついたままの榊の枝、幹榊（みきさかき）に麻をつけたものも用いられ、榊の枝に、木綿（ゆう）として麻の緒をつけたものである。賀茂御祖神社（下鴨神社）のように、『古事記』の神話にならい桃の木の枝を用いる場合もある。
大麻の使い方も異なり、現今では塵を祓うように音を立てて振るが、春日大社のような古くからの祭式では撫でるように行われる。伊勢神宮でもそうであり、音を立てて祓うことは禁じられている。現今では祓う対象となる人や物に向かって、大麻を左・右・左と振って使用し、これによって大麻に穢が移ると考えられている。昔は左右中であった。吉田神道では陰の月には右左右と降る記述もみられる。それだけでなく、古来からの宮中での祭祀では、一撫一吻、撫でた後に息を吹くことがある。
次に、修祓としての全体像になるが、大麻で祓った後に、小さな榊で塩湯を撒く。海にて禊ぐという意味である。大麻自体を塩湯が煮え立った釜に入れて振り、無病息災を祈る祭事もある。
祓いの初出としては『古事記』に詳細は書かれていないが国之大祓をしたとあり、『日本書紀』（720年成立）にて、天武天皇5年（676年）には大解除（大祓）があり、様々なものを国々に作らせたが、各家ごとには麻を一条を祓料として差し出すことになったと記されている。そして中臣が祝詞を奏上し、ト部が解除を行い、これらは祭祀と同じ構造である。平安中期（10世紀）の『西宮記』では祓いを受ける者が差し出した大麻を、祓いを行う者が引いた。また、天皇が体をすり、罪穢れを移したことも記され、新たな祓の形式が現れてきた。11世紀には、これが逆に祓いを受ける者が大麻を引くようになり、『古今和歌集』でも振るのではなく、引くことがうかがえる。後に、祓いを受ける者に対して振るうようになる。『大神宮儀式解』以来、ひくのが本義、振るのは略儀とされ、人を祓う場合にはそうだが、物を祓う場合には古来から振るものである。 Immanuelle 💗 (please tag me) 10:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

message: There are several parallels. Historical Indian Buddhism originally incorporated yaksha worship, as can be seen from the relics and inscriptions of Bharhut, and Buddhism in Sri lanka and Thailand combine Buddhism and Hinduism. A separation of the two was mandated when the Ambedkarite Buddhism was established. Arya Samaj separates the vedic tradition from the Puranic rituals.

thread_title:  Article name
Talk:Uxbridge, Ontario (town)

message: I'm proposing this article for deletion due to the fact that much of the content is identical to the article Uxbridge, Ontario.  The municipal terminology differs somewhat and the municipalities are different corporate entities, but they share a name, history and territory, and there's little that you can say about one that you can't say about the other.  Basically, it goes like this:
* Uxbridge Township surveyed and created in the 1800s
* Village, then Town of Uxbridge carved out of part of the Township in 1880s or thereabouts
* In 1974, the Town, Township and another Township merged to create the Township of Uxbridge, which is the current muni.  
Perhaps content can be added toUxbridge, Ontario to indicate that there was more than one municipality using that name.  I've done this for two other area townships, namely Brock, Ontario and Scugog, Ontario.  These are other cases (in the area) where a new muni took the name of one of the former munis amalgamated to create it.  
Thoughts?

thread_title:  Source(s) to be used 

message: It is unfortunate that this article does not mention the role of the anti-Stalinist Hendrik Sneevliet in the February strike. He was captured and executed by the Germans soon after it. The role of his group is documented at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam. The strike was specifically a protest against a deportation order aimed at Jews.  
Sneevliet led the Dutch transport union in which the dockworkers were included. He is mentioned in my long text on Communism and Islam at www.islamicpluralism.org because of his role as a founder of the Communist Party of Indonesia, from the ranks of the Social Democrats of the Dutch colonies. But I know that is considered an insufficient citation and I will try to find something more suitable. 
Sneevliet was targeted by the NKVD for assassination in the 1930s but the crime did not take place.  There are now a suburban ring road and a metro station in Amsterdam named for him. In February 1941 the Stalin-Hitler Pact was in effect and I have doubts about the involvement of the Dutch CP in the strike.
I decided to sign up to contribute to Wikipedia but will not create a user page immediately because I have been a topic of so much controversy.

Basal Area of a Tree is the area of a given section of land that is occupied by the cross-section of tree trunks:
BA = DBH²*π/4                                               (NB for DBH in cm BA=0.0000 7854 *DBH²) result in m² per ha
The basal area of a forest stand can be found by adding the basal areas (as calculated above) of all of the trees in an area and dividing by the area of land in which the trees were measured.
The plot area big enough for the tree to be counted is

Talk:Ulster Workers' Council strike

message: Just a quick note to explain the recent bunch of copyedits I made to this article. The main source used by the original authors (not me, I have had little to no previous input in this article) was this timeline. Whilst it is a valid and reliable source the article as it stood was a borderline copyvio with just the odd word here and there changed. As such the edits I made were designed to make the texts read less similarly as well as to show more fully the sources used. Personally I still feel it needs a lot of work but that will do for now. Above all however I am putting this here in case anybody wonders why I made all the copyedit changes, as in some cases it may read a bit more awkwardly than before - basically it was all too similar and needed to be changed.
