Talk:Hill Top, New South Wales

message: The Hill Top War Memorial Hall Committee wrote a short book on the history of Hill Top. As principal researcher and author, I can verify that the Hill Top district was actually discovered in 1792 by John Wilson, a Lancastrian first fleet convict who had 1 year of transportation to complete in the Sydney settlement.
After he became a freeman, he went on explorations around the basin.
Eventually, he was sent on an official exploration by the govenor with a diarist named John Price.
Wilson (also known as Bunboee by the local Darawal aboriginies) discovered rock salt, the Lyrebird and the source of the Lachlan River, being the very first river discovered to run west (inland).
The govenor and on advice from the English administration, blocked most of Wilson's southern explorations from the rest of the colony as they wanted to maintain the fallacy that the Sydney basin was 'landlocked' by mountain ranges. Wilson found no difficulties in walking as far as the Goulburn plains along a geological ramp formation from Camden to the Southern Highlands. Later, land grants to Macquarie prevented convicts from travelling further south.
Significantly, the first crossing of the Blue Mountains was not by Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson, but by Wilson almost 18 years earlier.
The official exploration of the Southern Highlands by Hume in 1814 and Oxley in 1816 was based on Wilson's earlier explorations.
It was only in 1895, when Sir Joseph Bank's papers were read, that some of the story of Wilson's explorations became available to academics.
Prior to that, Wilson was remembered in an early history of the colony by Samuel Bennet "The History of Australian Discovery and Colonization" (1865).
The full story can be read in Chris Cunningham's "The Blue Mountains Rediscovered: Beyond the Myths of Early Australian Exploration" (Kangaroo Press 1996)
A short precis of Wilson is available from The Hill Top War Memorial Management Committee in the volume entitled "Waratahs and Wombats: Hill Top - A Selective History 1792-2001" (2001)
Note: 
* Hill Top was officially named as such in 1977 by the Geographical Naming Board.
* Jellore (A private village), was in existence since 1860, maybe earlier.
* Wilson Drive was previously known (pre 1920) as 'Government Road'
* Wilson was killed by being speared by one of his indigenous wives in the Jellore area in 1800. Htcs (talk) 03:55, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Gàidhlig

message: I think the following is rather POV:
“Domhnall dubh” is also a familiar Gaelic nickname for the Devil. (This may be partially because the Gaelic words for devil and demon – “Diabhal” and “Deamhan” bear some resemblance to the name “Domhnall” (Donald).)
I'm referring to the supposed resemblence between "Diabhal"/"Deamhan" and "Dòmhnall". However, in Irish at least Dónall (earlier "Domhnall") is used as a sort of generic name for particular types of people, animals or things in certain phrases such as "Dónall na gealaí" literally "Dónall of the moon" i.e. "The Man in the Moon" and "Dónall na gréine" or "A happy-go-lucky sort of person". "Dónall Dubh" is also a nickname for the raven. Other names used in a similar manner and "Tadhg": "Tadhg an dá thaobh" meaning "Two faced Tadhg" and "Tadhg an mhargaidh" or "Tadhg of the market" or "The man in the street" and "Siobhán an Chaipín" meaning "Siobhán of the cap" or the bird known in English as "stonechat".

thread_title: Dòmhnall Dubh

message: The first time I came across the adjectival form of Domhnall was many years ago in the context of an article in Irish about the O’Donnells. I find the Scottish use of Domhnallach for males with surnames in English form MacDonald puzzling for this reason. Also puzzling is the use of an accent over the Ò when in modern Irish Domhnall becomes Dónall through dropping the mh. 109.78.52.93 (talk) 16:07, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing puzzling about that, Irish also has surnam forms ending in -ach, including Dónallach. Nothing puzzling about the ò in Dòmhnallach either, modern ScG has a tendency to use ò where a vowel has been permantently lengthened through loss of a neighbouring consonant cf. roghnach > ròghnach, cumhnant > cùmhnant etc. Akerbeltz (talk) 19:14, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fighting for 2 

message: The page has been renamed to "Roya (Azerbaijani singer)".
I understand that it is necessary to be based on sources and non-English words are allowed.
But you must understand that the sources indicated on the article are Azerbaijani and the artist himself acts on the territory of Azerbaijan.  Therefore, take advantage of "Röya".  But that does not mean right.  So if you search Google for the query "Roya singer".  Then Google will give you an absurdity.  You will see the "Roya Azerbaijani singer" knowledge bar
But the albums will not be Azerbaijan albums, but the video may be "Roya - Lie" which does not belong to this artist.
The thing is that there are several Roya
Persian singer Roya;  Swedish Roya;  Roya band
Google searches for "Roya"
sees several options including ours.  But so ours is known on spotify as "Röya".  Google refuses to take the correct data.
As a result, it shows that we have Roya but she releases Persian albums and represents Sweden.  ))) And you are trying not to be searched like Roya.  But this does not benefit and confuses the situation even more.  The fact is the singer was originally known as Roya, her songs were signed by this name.  Changing to "Röya" we created bewilderment both among users and for artificial intelligence.  In addition, this is an English Wikipedia for English-speaking users.  Logically, everything should be in English.  People will not understand this letter "ö"

Arguments such as 'People will not understand the letter "ö" ' are not persuasive here because we *do* use diacritics in people's names if we are convinced that the WP:COMMONNAME in English uses the diacritic. Note that there is still a redirect at Roya (Azerbaijani singer) which points here, so people searching for 'Roya' will be led to the right place. There is also a page at Roya which explains the different people of that name. EdJohnston (talk) 06:30, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: 2007

message: I raise a substantial objection to much of the material in this list. There is a difference between a musical "form" and a musical "type." A "form" describes the structure of a piece or a movement. Thus, examples of form would be binary, ternary, rondo, sonata-allegro, or going back further, rondeaux, virelai, etc. A "type," on the other hand, describes a piece or movement exhibiting certain compositional traits. Descriptors such as motet, mass, fugue, and sonata are types, not forms. Furthermore, some of the items on this list are neither forms nor types, but genres, such as opera, symphony, suite, requiem, and oratorio. Perhaps this list should be reorganized completely, and new lists created for types and genres? This is important because this list is linked to in the music portal template. —Cor anglais 16 20:35, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Glaistig

message: Hi there! This is definitely a fun article that I've enjoyed reading so far. There are just a couple spots where punctuation can be cleared up. "In other, more benign incarnations, the glaistig is a type of tutelary spirit and protector of cattle and herders, and in at least one legend in Scotland," could be changed to get rid of "other" and the comma, along with starting a new sentence at "and in at least one legend in Scotland". The first reference isn't pulling up for me, so that's probably something you should check out. I'm having a hard time figuring out where the third reference is in the link, so if you could add a page number, there wouldn't be any confusion or having to read through the entire thing. The article so far seems neutral, and I think everything mentioned in the page is relevant to the article. I would definitely like to know more, so if there is anything else to expand on, I think it would be worth adding into this article. Good luck! ZyrettiSpaghetti (talk) 01:25, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
