Talk:Buhid script

message: I previously revised the formatting of the character tables (among others) since, at least on my computer, the Buhid text did not render properly unless I used the Lang template, but it was undone, although understandably. Is there some other way of fixing this text rendering issue?
Note that I am using Opera GX, so it could be a problem on their part, but I doubt it since the text renders properly when the Lang template is used (see my revision). The Tagalog version of this page also works for me, perhaps because it forces the page to use Noto Sans Buhid as the font face for the Buhid text... Moondust2365 (talk) 15:30, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Ĉ

message: I noticed on the TV channel Suroyo TV, which broadcasts in Aramaic, a programme with the title "Tboĉo froso". The accented character was definitely a C with circumflex. Google gives no references to this phrase but it is clearly a transliteration, given that the language has its own alphabet which, to the casual observer, looks a bit like Arabic. The TV station seems to use latin alphabet captions extensively, perhaps because there is no commercially-available caption generator for Aramaic. So Ĉ seems to be used for transliteration of at least one non-latin-alphabet language, as well as for Esperanto. 62.6.122.147 23:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Whether you are really associated with Davies it not the issue, rather the issue is whether the copyright holder of the website material has properly granted a GFDL compatible license for the work. This license means that Davies is not just giving permission to use the material on wikipedia, but it is also granting permission for anyone to copy, modify, and restribute any part of the material as long as they conform to the terms of the GFDL. The implications of the license are pretty huge. Particularly, it means that Davies will have a hard time ever protecting the use of the material on the website because everyone would be able to use the work as they choose. Clearly, it is not in their interest to license their material and so I'm doubtful they ever would. In any event, something more than "I will allow it on my company's behalf" is required to grant the license. That is hardly proof verifying that you have legally bound Davis to the terms of the license. I'd suggest looking at the process for granting permission here. If you can confirm with the wikipedia PR department that the license has been properly granted then the material can stay. Otherwise, you really don't give us much to go on. --PullUpYourSocks 02:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Charles K. Bliss

message: *It is said that he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. However who nominated him, and when he was nominated is unknown. The same source () says that he asked for his nomination to be withdrawn when he found out Le Duc Tho, founder of the Indochinese Communist Party was nominated also. Le Duc Tho refused the 1973 award.
Being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official or even prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements, and more often it is impossible to verify. I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Will Beback · † · 09:24, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bliss and Blissymbolics Communication Foundation 

message: I've been studying Blissymbolics for my own pleasure, and I've found Charles K. Bliss referred to as CKB in many places, including Blissymbolics Communication International specification documents as well as informal educational documents.
I'd like to add CKB to the disambiguation page. However, according to Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages, "When considering articles to include in the list, it is important that each individual entry is referred to by its respective abbreviation within its article."
Currently, the initialism CKB does not appear in this article, and therefore an entry cannot be added to the disambiguation page.
My question is, should the article mention the initialism CKB? I'm in favor of it because I think audiences who are researching Blissymbolics would find it helpful, since they are likely to encounter his initials in external materials. But on the other hand (so far as I am aware) his initials are only used within the Blissymbolics community, which is not large, and so this information might not be encyclopedic.
Does anyone know of a precedent for this, or can point me to some criteria I can try to satisfy (e.g. are the initials used in a biography of him?). Thank you! DanielFlaum (talk) 00:39, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

message: It says in this article that チ ("chi" ) is "entirely unrelated" to 千 ("sen", a thousand), but the truth is that "chi" is the kun-reading of "sen" — plus, チ is derived from 千. So, they're not "entirely unrelated" — in fact, if you go by sound alone, they carry the same meaning — and they are very much related, phonetically and etymologically. The difference is that チ represents a sound and doesn't carry meaning on its own, while 千 is a word that holds meaning. Does anyone know a better way to word this in the article?

Talk:Peter Dombrovskis

message: Having known Peter and met him once in 1994, I have had many times upon which I can reflect on his efforts, particularly in Tasmania, but elsewhere in Australia. This is because Peter's influence was far reaching and taught legions of photographers around Australia how to approach the environment with sensitivity and subjectivity.
I have added a number of clarifying and expanding comments to the base article.  Of interest for further reading are two articles:  one, authored by Peter Jackson of Elizabeth College, Hobart, introduces the reader to Peter's life work and philosophy, his ability to convey statements through images only (I can remember the remark in the article by Jackson: "...Peter Dombrovskis is not a public person. His views on the environment [and conservation] are shown without polemic and without rhetoric..."), and the interesting revelation that Dombrovskis "...took years to decide what he wanted to do [before large format landscape photography]".  This article appeared in 'WILD' magazine, I think, in 1994.
After Peter's death, 'The Age' in Melbourne published a piece, authored by Jane Cadzow and titled, 'A Lasting Image'.  I have not been successful in tracking down a copy of this from 'The Age' archives.
Peter's other books, besides the 'Wild Rivers' he co-authored with Bob Brown, are "In the Forest" (with commentary by Prof. Jamie Kirkpatrick, University of Tasmania) and 'On the Mountain', a pictorial homage to his 'home', Mount Wellington, Hobart, Tasmania.
In 2005 [?], Stuart Solman, of the School of Art at the University of Tasmania, authored a document entitled "Alernative Perspectives: Peter Dombrovskis"</I>, in which he took the view of Dombrovskis' "...commodification of Tasmanian wilderness",. I have this for reference but do not know how (or if) it should be included in the Wiki reference [?].
