Talk:Emma (given name)

message: :top importance assigned based on the given name being the most popular in any one country for any one year --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The source "behindthename.com" bewilders me.  I have always thought of Emma as short for Emmanuelle.  I really cannot conceive of Emma as a Germanic name.  It's too pretty.  The only beautiful Germanic name I can think of, is Matilda, because it sounds rather close to Madeleine.  Ahh, I just went looking for more pretty Germanic names...Ermengarde, Millicent and Adelaide came up.  But still, Emma doesn't seem like anything but Emma-nuelle.

thread_title:  Suspect etymology? 

message: Either this article should be titled Ema (given name), or it should lead off with an explanation of Emma, not Ema. The way it is right now looks odd.
Also, the opening paragraphs don't make much sense (my bolding):
:Ema was originally a short form of Germanic names that began with the element ermen meaning "whole" or "universal". It was introduced to England by Emma of Normandy, who was the wife both of king Ethelred II (and by him the mother of Edward the Confessor) and later of king Canute. It was also borne by an 11th-century Austrian saint, who is sometimes called Hemma.
:After the Norman conquest this name became common in England. It was revived in the 18th century, perhaps in part due to Matthew Prior's poem Henry and Emma (1709). It was also used by Jane Austen for the central character, the matchmaker Emma Woodhouse, in her novel Emma (1816).
:Variant Emma is ...
How can the name "Ema" (as distinct from "Emma") be "introduced" or "revived" by people who spell it "Emma"? It all seems to be the wrong way round, but I don't really understand the intention and am reluctant to start hacking it about. Anyone? 86.138.104.18 (talk) 02:14, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  The given name "Emma" in African countries (esp. Nigeria)

thread_title:  Carole King discussion 

message: The article should specify what the criteria are. 1) Gershwin was primarily a Broadway composer. It seems peculiar to me that none of the recipients so far are associated with Broadway. (Yes, Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote the score for a Broadway musical but only one. Yes, Paul Simon also wrote the music and some of the lyrics for one, and only one, Broadway musical, but it was a critical and commercial failure largely forgotten.) Why hasn't Sondheim won? 2) Gershwin was an American composer strongly associated with America and American music, and this is supposed to be a "national" award. So what is McCartney doing on the list? 3) Bacharach and David were only together for a bit more than a decade and both continued to write for many years afterward. So if Bacharach and David were given a joint award, why weren't John Lennon and Paul McCartney given a joint award? Just as Bacharach and David are most remembered for the work they did when they were together, so is McCartney most remembered for the work he did together with Lennon (and it doesn't matter that some of the songs were really written individually; Lennon and McCartney were both members of the Beatles, and in that sense all the work was a collaboration--moreover it was all officially attributed to "Lennon-McCartney"). Is it because John Lennon was no longer living at the time the award was presented? The article doesn't say. TheScotch (talk) 03:56, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

message: This article has recently been edited by students as part of their course work for a university course.  As part of the quality metrics for the education program, we would like to determine what level of burden is placed on Wikipedia's editors by student coursework.
If you are an editor of this article who spent time correcting edits to it made by the students, please tell us how much time you spent on cleaning up the article.  Please note that we are asking you to estimate only the negative effects of the students' work.  If the students added good material but you spent time formatting it or making it conform to the manual of style, or copyediting it, then the material added was still a net benefit, and the work you did improved it further.  If on the other hand the students added material that had to be removed, or removed good material which you had to replace, please let us know how much time you had to spend making those corrections. This includes time you may have spent posting to the students' talk pages, or to Wikipedia noticeboards, or working with them on IRC, or any other time you spent which was required to fix problems created by the students' edits. Any work you did as a Wikipedia Ambassador for that student's class should not be counted.
Please rate the amount of time spent as follows:
* 0 -No unproductive work to clean up
* 1 - A few minutes of work needed
* 2 - Between a few minutes and half an hour of work needed
* 3 - Half an hour to an hour of work needed
* 4 - More than an hour of work needed

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Vietnam/Style Guidelines

message: Can I raise the issue of the use of accented Vietnamese spelling in historical articles related to Vietnam?  I am the author of a series of articles on the nineteenth-century French colonial campaigns in Vietnam, notably the battles of the 1860s Cochinchina Campaign and the 1880s Sino-French War, and I have noticed a tendency for contributors to convert the place names I use in these articles into Vietnamese spelling.  This can sometimes make it difficult to locate an article, especially if the title is altered in this way, and the accents are in any case meaningless to non-Vietnamese speakers.  This is supposed to be an encyclopedia written in English, not Vietnamese.  It seems to me that there is no place for Vietnamese spelling in historical articles, except perhaps to gloss the key word in the article.   
For example, one of the articles I have written on the Cochinchina Campaign is presently entitled Capture of Vĩnh Long.  I find it almost impossible to refer to this article when I consult Wikipedia, because I'm never sure how Vinh Long is spelled in Vietnamese, so have to refer to the template for the Cochinchina campaign before I can find it.  Surely the article should be retitled 'Capture of Vinh Long'.  The default spelling should be Vinh Long, as that is how the town's name is normally spelled in English atlases, and there should be only one Vietnamese gloss, in the first sentence of the article.  Thus:  The capture of Vinh Long (Vietnamese: Vĩnh Long) was an important French victory, etc.
This would be in accordance with the practice suggested for geographical articles, where the name of a Vietnamese town is first given in its normal English spelling, then glossed in the teng viet style.
What do fellow-contributors think?

replies: text: Is it really settled? I came by this article today and spotted the "modern controversy" section and took a look at the earlier debate. There's still no proof (citations) of any kind that there really exists any "controversy" or accusations of "cultural appropriation" over the fact that some sports equipment manufacturers call their single-pole tents lavvu or any of the related terms. The whole segment seems to be original research. My own experience, which of course doesn't "prove" anything, is that at least the inhabitants of the Finnish Lapland, whether Sami or Finnish or something between in their origin, do not object to the term kota  being used to describe commercial lavvu-/goahti-like contraptions. In Finland the term kota describes all such tents, and also the traditional Sami dwellings, while the term laavu means lean-to-style shelters, whether they are of permanent wooden construction or erected with either sticks and branches or tarpaulin, poles and wires (the style which is more accurately called loue).

Talk:Nekkhamma

message: After inserting text from on-line versions of the Pali Canon, I removed the following paragraph from this article:
:Renunciation in the Buddhist context refers to a process of reducing the bonds that our emotion of desire creates. This does not mean that all enjoyment should be given up, but it means that attachment (mental bonding) to the object of desire should be given up. Ultimately, Nirvana or Buddhahood cannot be achieved without a deep realization of renunciation.
I removed it because I assessed that the new citations better identify information refered to in this deleted paragraph's first and last sentences.  As for the second sentence, I'm not sure it's correct.  At least from a Theravada perspective, it sounds like it is talking more about the development of insight instead of the pursuit of renunciation.  Frankly, from my past readings of (and having heard a lecture by) Lama Surya Das, I can readily see him stating such a thing as this.  More directly, I don't necessarily deny that it might have Mahayana credibility -- or even Theravada roots in a way I simply haven't come across; however, without a citation and with seemingly contrary canonical statements, I felt it prudent to simply delete the middle sentence along with the first and third.  
I regret if my action is deemed to be too hasty.  Perhaps a "fact" tag would have been better warranted, but then where to fit this uncited sentence in the evolving article -- is it allegedly canonical?  Is it ascribeable to a contemporary teacher?  Hence, my action.  
If you have a citation for this statement, please feel free to re-insert it and please accept my regrets for any ill will I may have engendered in you.  Best wishes,
