Talk:Cao Chong

message: The statement about Cáo Chōng having the intelligence of an adult at age 5 is obviously wrong - no 5-year-old really has adult-level intelligence, even if they are a prodigy. We can say that he was a prodigy, and attribute any statement about adult-level intelligence to Sānguózhì directly. -Thucydides411 (talk) 16:22, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It is sourced to Sanguo Zhi directly. I will go ahead and make that clearer. _dk (talk) 17:03, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a number of questionable stories in this article sourced to Sānguó Zhì. In general, an ancient historical text like Sānguó Zhì should be treated with more caution, especially when it gives colorful anecdotes or makes implausible claims (e.g., about the intelligence of a 5-year-old child). Throughout this article, it should be clearer what is actually known for certain about Cáo Chōng, and what are colorful, possibly exaggerated stories. I'm looking specifically at the story of the elephant. Did the writer of Sānguó Zhì really know exactly what Cáo Cāo and Cáo Chōng said in the moment? -Thucydides411 (talk) 11:12, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: So Sanguo Zhi is a compilation of contemporary sources on the period. It is considered the authoritative source for the period, in some many case, the only source available. For the elephant anecdote, there is some scholarly debate about its authenticity especially since there is an earlier Buddhist story about weighing elephants from India. It is likely that this story did not take place as described in the Sanguo Zhi. (and that should be added into the article) _dk (talk) 17:23, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Sānguó Zhì falls under WP:PRIMARY. Everything in this article should, ideally, be sourced to secondary and tertiary sources. Ancient historical texts can obviously be invaluable sources of information, but they're not reliable in the same way a modern scholarly work would be. I seriously doubt the quotations included throughout this article are true transcriptions of what the various people said. I have similar doubts about the anecdotes. -Thucydides411 (talk) 19:59, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Gan De

message: It's theoretically possible to see them without optical aid, but in practice Jupiter's glare makes it very difficult or impossible. Some people have reportedly seen Ganymede and Callisto by hiding Jupiter behind wires, trees etc.
However there seems to be another possible identification of the mysterious star- Uranus. In 366BC it underwent a series of close conjunctions with Jupiter, one in February (when Mars was involved as well, the three were less than a degree apart), another in late April/early May (about 40-45'), again in September (very close, 15' or so). Uranus is just within naked eye visibility, and when close to Jupiter but further than any moon ever gets would have appeared like a very faint "star". These conjunctions all took place in a fairly barren area of sky on the Ophiuchus/Sagittarius border. Walshie79 (talk) 15:36, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Best way to go about this article 

message: The Wikipedia article on the Federal Republic of Central America says that it "was a sovereign state in Central America [existing] from September 1821 to 1841".  That conflicts with the section "1821–1824" of the present article on the Territorial evolution of Mexico.  
Which is correct?  
This is a fine article.  I hope this comment can make it better.  
By the way, I'm trying to create a table and plot showing the land area of New Spain and Mexico from, say, 1783.

replies: text: It's perfectly fine to expand with more references to correct the passages on the election results. But we have to use the names used at the time (i.e. KFML(r) until 1977, KPML(r) 1977-2005). In the 1970s and 1980s just saying "the Communist Party" in a mainstream English text talking about Swedish politics would have been a reference to VPK. So trying to use other names than the ones used at the time is more confusing. --Soman (talk) 14:58, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Category talk:Port cities in Europe

message: There need to be subcategories made for this category as it is already fairly large but it is still underpopulated.
:Category:Port cities in the British Isles should probably be moved over here my first thought was to divide this category into subcategories for the British isles, Mainland and Scandinavia. I am concerned these aren't precisely enough defined.
We could also divide this category by country. Port cities in the British Isles would change to Port cities in the United Kingdom. Some countries don't have very many ports though so categories like Port cities in Estonia would be very small some like Port cities of Switzerland would be useless. 
Another possibility would be to divide them by body of water but that could also lead to ambiguity as many bodies of water have poorly defined boundaries. This could also lead to other problems as some bodies of water the Atlantic ocean for example border more then one continent. 
I'm thinking a combination of the last 2. Irate velociraptor 08:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tiong Bahru Plaza

message: Last time I remembered that the basement 1 of this mall was usually a carpark with only a Cold Storage Supermarket on Basement 1. Soon it under went renovations (or expansion), adding one straight path of basement tenants up to where the Guardian/POSB are located. The supermarket was then replaced by NTUC Fairprice.
In the later time, the linkway to tiong bahru MRT station was completed and under went further expansion on basement 1, where the famous amos, dessert story, four leaves, etc. are located now. I know all of this because I live nearby the mall :D
But I can't remembered the date/year when the renovation started/done...

Talk:Kiseru

message: ===Importance===
I disagree with the label "Low Importance" for this Article because actually the kiseru, if widely publicized, manufactured and distributed, could save millions of lives.  From the perspective of smokers who inhale, the kiseru and the middle-eastern midwakh, being utensils with a narrow crater diameter, both permit 25-mg. servings (compared with a 700-mg. hot-burning overdose cigaret), burn the tobacco (or other herb) at minimum temperature as long as user sucks slow enough, and just about eliminate "side-stream smoke".
===The Riddle of Japan===
Has anyone noticed: polls show over 50% of male Japanese are smokers even today (earlier it was almost 80%)-- yet Japan has the longest life-expectancy of any nation on the planet.
Apparently there is less emphasis than in the west on smoking as a suicidal gesture to connote bravado-- (Bogart, for example, died age 57).  Dr. Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998) was shown in a photo on one of his books with a cigaret-- but it was in a 10-cm.-long holder.  
===Kiseru today===
The Article describes the kiseru almost entirely in past tense.  This may need correcting-- the kiseru may, like the midwakh, be returning to favor.  A store which markets kiseru may be reached via website [].  As to be expected, the products shown are very elegant and run from ¥ 700 to over ¥ 20,000.
===Rearrange smoking equipment articles===
The kiseru and midwakh should be discussed jointly in one article devoted to small-diameter utensils for relatively safe use by inhaling smokers, while a different article discusses equipment-- mostly wide-bowl tobacco pipes-- used by those who "don't inhale".64.107.2.126 (talk) 01:44, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: ''Rearrange [[smoking]] equipment articles''

message: This and over two million other pages are currently under a heading which reads, "You can help Wikipedia change the world!"

The WHO (Feb. 7, 2008) estimates cigarets are killing 5.4 million a year world-wide-- no. 1 genocide in the history of the planet-- and we are to sit here and be "objective"....
Because the Kiseru can be fitted with a screen, and 1/28th of a cigarette can be broken off and smoked in it instead of the advertised overdose, I think this qualifies for top grade of Most Important Article, and should contain instructions how everyone can make their own kiseru (or midwakh if the traditional craftsmen can't meet the demand.

Talk:Kan'ei

message: It appears that there may be an minor error in NengoCalc's data-set for the 11th year of Kan'ei -- a small problem in the transition between the 7th month and the 8th month.
Isaac Titsingh's translation of Nipon o daï itsi ran explains that Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu appeared at Court in Kyoto in the 7th month of Kan'ei 11. 
Richard Ponsonby-Fane's Kyoto: the Old Capital of Japan, 794-1869. reports that the shogun visited ex-emperor Go-Mizunoo on "August 27."
In that context, NengoCalc's last day of the 7th month of the 11th year of Kan'ei is 22.8.1634 (Tuesday) or 寛永十一年七月二十九日
NengoCalc's first day of the 8th month of the 11th year of Kan'ei is 22.9.1634 (Friday) or  寛永十一年八月一日
