Talk:Demographics of Brazil

message: This section of the article is a complete mess. The section suffers from a bizarre form of formatting that overlays the results of studies with a rant that says those studies are flawed for supposedly ignoring Amerindian ancestry. It does not comply to an encyclopedic format and interlace scientific studies with original research or sentiment that tries to combat such studies. Either the studies are flawed and should perhaps be removed from the page or the writer of the objections should organise the presentation so it doesn't become a nonsensical read about some studies and the editor's retorts. --45.71.6.8 (talk) 19:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: I have gone ahead and re-worded or removed parts of it as the majority was just synthesis or original research which read like a personal essay against the studies presented rather then introducing newer studies which may contrast with dated findings. In general though the section should be updated to more recent studies rather then primarily consisting of stuff from over a decade ago. Tweedle (talk) 14:09, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

As for the timing of addition, adding it before the water allows the cream to warm slightly so as not to be scalded by the liquid; however, I always add cream after the tea is in the cup and have never had trouble with scalding unless the cream was already a little, shall we say, "old."

Talk:Nantosvelta

message: I suggest removing the stub text below, and redirecting to the larger article Nantosuelta. Much of the text below seems inaccurate and Neopagan; there is no association with hunting, there is no known inscription to Diana Nantosuelta, and the two bas-reliefs known are from Gaul, not Germany. I have copied this text to the talk page because the Lusitanian reference is interesting and worth investigating; it has also been copied to the Nantosuelta page.

Talk:Objecthood

message: This text definitely was not written with Wikipedia in mind. Rampant use of HTML tags (fixed), non-existant leading sentence (fixed) and blatant POV (not fixed). I'm not knowledgable on this subject, but the article needs work. — Ambush Commander(Talk) 02:14, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
This article and others like it were written by a person with a good philosophic intellect. He understands what he is trying to say. In philosophy, you have to actually grasp the problems and ideas yourself so as to be able to tell someone about it in your own way. Nobody can actually duplicate the explanations of others, unless perhaps a parrot. So, reading a philosophic article is apt to be tough going, as you have to clue in on the writer's frame of reference. This is asking a lot from the casual reader. I wouldn't throw this article away at all. What we can do is explain things a little more and make it more readable. In doing that we run the risk of misunderstanding the author or of putting things in a way he would not. Fools step in where angels fear to tread, so I would like to start making a few such more readable elucidations from the top down. I will go very slowly. If anything does not meet with anyone's approval, please revert it and/or correct it.Botteville 17:28, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Template talk:Fiction

message: Ok, could somebody help clarify for me what this tag's for?  I've stuck it on a number of articles, such as Plo Koon, Darth Sion, and Minor Wheel of Time characters.  In all cases, it's been removed, typically with the only change being to stick a sentence of "Name is a fictional character" at the start - or no change, if that was already there.  In one case, (the Wheel of Time characters) the tag was changed to template:context, which I suppose works.  Anyway, I'd like to know what other people think: is it sufficient to have one sentence identifying a fictional character as such to prevent this tag, or is more required?  Also, can the contents of an article that appear after a template:spoiler tag qualify the article for this tag? The Literate Engineer 02:33, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As I see it, unless the entire fictional universe is contained in a single work, be it book, movie, video game, whatever, then any fictional events (or other characters, places, etc.) mentioned in the article should have it specified in which work of fiction they happened (to use Star Wars as an example, the Luke Skywalker article shouldn't just say that he destroys the Death Star, but that he destroys the Death Star in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope).  Also, fictional terms from that universe should be explained when used ("Luke Skywalker destroys the Death Star, a battle-station with the firepower to destroy a planet in a single shot, in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope").  That's what I mean by establishing fictional context.  And what I can't decide is if that sort of thing calls for this tag or for the cite-sources tag.

Talk:Timeline of luminiferous aether

message: <BLOCKQUOTE>"the Timeline of Luminiferous Aether begins in the late 19th century with the concept of the aether ("light-bearing aether"), or ether, as a medium for electromagnetic propagation."</BLOCKQUOTE>
I tbink it begins rather earlier than this. See Einstein's "Aether and relativity" lecture for an overview, or Newton's "Optiks". ErkDemon 02:51, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  When should timeline begin? 

message: I think it is important to note that this article is written in a very Kuhnian way. Thomas Kuhn's philosophy of science propounds an idea of 'crisis' and 'revolution'. A more neutral approach to the history of the luminiferous aether may be required, or at least a contrasting historiography.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.82.197.90 (talk) 02:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kuhnianism? 

message: I propose that this timeline be renamed, and a little bit adjusted, so that it describes the timeline of light, rather than of some substance that was realized not to be necessary.  The article is full of great information, and the timeline method is wonderful for context.

message: It does not appear to have a clearer relation to the UK than to the US. I checked Google Books (excluding results from Wikipedia) and found 57,200 results for "luminiferous ether" compared to only 8,020 for "luminiferous aether," a ratio of over 7 to one. At Google Scholar, with Wikipedia excluded, I found 3,050 results for "luminiferous ether" compared to only 767 for "luminiferous aether,"  a ratio of almost 4 to one. Aren't articles in general supposed to use the most commonly used terms and spellings in their titles? I suppose that since a UK speller tagged the article first, WP:ENGVAR would suggest leaving it at the minority spelling. Edison (talk) 18:55, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Horrors! This is being picked up in sources which derive from Wikipedia.
The Native American encyclopedias I have checked use the term "Kitikiti'sh" or "Kitikitish" for the Wichita's name for themselves.

Talk:Starobilsk

message: Thanks, Ghirlandajo, for bringing this article to light. In my opinion, several things need to be done.
# First of all the article needs to be renamed. Probably to Starobilsk, with also Starobelsk redirecting to it. There is a small chance, that StarobElsk is a name to use, but I would need to research. I did a modern media search (LexisNexis) and found about 5 mentions of the place in recent years (inclusing BBC), all using StarobElsk, but this is not itself statistically significant, I would say. We will need to search for other uses, check other encyclopedias, check the origin and history, etc. Generally, relatively obscure places, should be named by a national name transliterated into English. This isn't Kiev or OdeSSa, but I will check more and I would welcome anyone's input. Whatever of the two we choose, the other will need to be in the first line. I have no objection, of course, to the Polish name "Starobielsk" mentioned in the article in the context of the mass murder or Polish officers.
# The place is a town, not a village, a raion center in Luhansk Oblast, rather than "near Kharkov". Such handbook level info can be easily pulled from the article in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia (see ), ua-wiki article (check "Starobil'sk" in Cyrillic there), the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary (see ), and possibly other easily found online sources.
# Of several solid newspapers I usually use, I only searched Zerkalo Nedeli (the Mirror Weekly) for now. Everyone is welcome to do it to find more (full edition is available in ru- and ua- and selected articles in en.) There is a mention of the camp for interned Polish officers in the town but for the details we would need to search elsewhere.  and   are Russian links and the Ukrainian ones is just a click away from there.
# Amazing story about another misterious resident of Starobelsk is in these two articles (again I link the Russian ones, Ukrainian versions are linked): ВЕЛИКАЯ КНЯГИНЯ КСЕНИЯ АЛЕКСАНДРОВНА РОМАНОВА (Grand Duchess Ksenia Aleksandrovna Romanova), the sister of Nicholas II (well, better read the articles in this order, I will not give you a spoiler)  and
