Talk:Ben Haden

message: I've never heard of this person.  I'm puzzled when I read: "He became internationally known through the medium of one of the most successful of the twentieth century religious broadcasts, Changed Lives."
Is this a case of "world-famous in Poland?"  Derrick Chapman 19:51, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, Derrick.  I'm Lech Walesa and I'll kick your ass!  (starting over):  Ben's weekly radio and TV shows were on the air for more than 30 years (and still are on the air) and were carried on hundreds of stations.  AFAIK, they were broadcast on Sunday mornings (you probably missed them because you were in church, or maybe you had not yet been born). He stopped doing those shows in 1998 or 1999 and focussed on the internet instead.  It would be neat if we could find some hard numbers on how many listeners and viewers he was reaching.  There's a list of radio stations from August 2010 here that's on his website now; apparently they still broadcast some variation of the Changed Lives program.  --96.231.113.61 (talk) 22:05, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

text: Here's another answer, Derrick.  One of our references is to a book called Prime-Time Religion.  On its front cover are 9 photographs, showing, among others, Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker, and I believe that's Ben Haden in the middle of the bottom row.  --96.231.113.61 (talk) 02:22, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, well, thanks for the details.  In my 58 years I've never listened to any religious broadcast on the radio.  That would explain my lack of familiarity with Ben Haden and his work.  Derrick Chapman 14:58, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I listened to his radio show a couple times about 25 years ago and I found his presentation interesting to the point that I never forgot his name.  I've never seen any of his videos.

Talk:Savonian dialects

message: "The Savo dialect of Finnish is the largest dialect of the Finnish language." Does this mean it is larger than standard Finnish? --Krsont 20:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not as far as I know. Everyone in Finland can read and write standard Finnish almost perfectly. But the spoken language is an altogether different matter. The spoken language in the Uusimaa, Eastern Uusimaa, Tavastia Proper and Päijänne Tavastia regions is very close to the normal spoken Finnish, which is different from standard Finnish (what Finns call kirjakieli, "book language"). If you go further west, east, or north, the spoken language becomes much more different. Most Finns in the four regions I mentioned aren't even aware they're speaking in a dialect, they think they speak in normal spoken Finnish. JIP | Talk 19:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree. Nopia and äkiä sound more Ostrobothnian than Savonian. JIP | Talk 19:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, my bad. My mother is Ostrobothnian and my father Savonian, and I occasionally get confused :) --Tropylium 09:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

text: True also. Srsly guys, you can just be bold & fix'em yourself. --Tropylium 18:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

text: All other articles on matters of Savonian interest use 'Savonia' - should they be changed as well? I can detect a certain grade of affection towards the Finnish name 'Savo', but the fact remains 'Savonia' is a lot more workable since every proficient English speaker will instantly figure out the correct pronunciation, based on names like Livonia and Snowdonia.

thread_title: Largest?

message: Not all cases of coda /l h n/ are affected. Penesatanakki sounds just absurd, and tuhuka or  silita aren't much better. So what's the best way to phrase what clusters are affected and what aren't? "Two continuants" doesn't work for eg. /ns/, "non-homorganic" doesn't work for eg. /ht/, and "two sonorants" doesn't work for eg. /ll/.
I think we have /lp lm lv lk lh nh/ to cover. Maybe /nv/, I'm not so sure about that.
Also, our sorce mentions /ls lj/ and /h/-clusters (voiced only: /hm hv hn hl hr hd hj/) only being broken in Ostrobothnia.
--Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 20:43, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As you an see these are not regular cases and there are no rules one to one how a standard Finnish word could be translated to Savonian dialect. There only can be mentioned the most typical features but those are not rules. In Southern Savonia there are even more "irregularities". --SM (talk) 01:10, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ishmael (Star Trek)

message: I have read the article, which is excellent, about a book which is considered by many people to be one of the better Star Trek novels, and I am not sure what is meant by unverified/unverifiable.  The information on the book is readily available from any bookseller's site, bookstore, or public library, and is listed below.  
Paperback, 256 pages.  Published by Pocket Books under license from Paramount Studios on May 1, 1985.  
ISBN: 0671554271
The author, Barbara Hambly, appears to have researched the history of Seattle as well as of the characters in "Here Come the Brides", and has constructed a good cross-over story.
* One thing I've found is that about 80% of the "Citation Needed" and "Who?" flags, and about 90% of the "Original Research" flags are added by people who are more interested in playing policing games than actually contributing to the article. If you look at the edit history of these "Wikicops", with only a rare exception do they ever actually improve articles by actually contributing information. Asking for unnecessary citations and claiming "original research" falsely is the same as vandalism, and the ones who are most blatant in such actions need to be barred from Wikipedia. It's power-trippers like that who have helped hurt Wikipedia's credibility as a resource utility.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.188.250.148 (talk) 21:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Template talk:2006-07 Football Leagues

message: *Is it the intention that this template shall be used in UEFA competition articles? The reason I raise this, is due to the reversal of this edit  by this edit .
:If this template is going to be used as a general football template then great, include all leagues (including unrecognised states and non UEFA/FIFA members).
:However, if it is going to be used (as it has been to date) in mainly UEFA competitions such as the UCL or UEFA cup then including non affiliated leagues and leagues from unrecognised countries is surely irrelevant.Georgeg 20:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think the simple solution based the apparent consensus here is to move this template to: Template:2006-07 in European Football (UEFA) and use this criteria to keep this template manageable and relevant. // Laughing Man 23:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I feel that this template should do just what the title suggests it would: list all 2006-07 Football Leagues that are actively updated on Wikipedia. I'd see your point if it was titled 2006-07 in UEFA, however it is not. I don't see anything being gained from making a UEFA-only template, aside from shunting other articles out. Argentina, Morocco and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus are all being updated for their 2006-07 season, and it's great to have a source that serves as a navigation point for 2006-07 competitions. We can include other competitions in the template as well, granted that they are being updated for the 2006-07 season, instead of having an array of templates doing the same thing in smaller numbers. Also, it'd be nice if Georgeg would stop removing the template from their respective articles until there's any consensus about it. TRNCFootball 23:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  My point was to simply create a template for each FIFA confederation (COMNEBOL, AFC, CAF), and a template for non-affilated FAs by region. Having 200+ countries competitions in one template is simply not practical and manageable. // Laughing Man 23:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, TRNCFootball as you have gone and reverted all my edits to the UEFA articles please justify why you think CONMEBOL (see Argentina) or CAF (see Morocco) affiliated countries should feature at the bottom of European competitions if teams from those countries are not eligible to participate. To quote you: "I'd see your point if it was titled 2006-07 in UEFA, however it is not" would indicate that you are in favour of this template including any FIFA country, in which case it would be irrelevant to include them in an UEFA article. Can’t you see that this way we will end up having all 200 or so FIFA affiliated countries featuring at the bottom of the UEFA Champion’s league? Georgeg 00:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

text:  What about separating the leagues by FIFA divisions (UEFA, CONMEBOL, etc), and put the Unafiliated at the end? Sounds fair to me.--Mariano(t/c) 14:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:MTV Unplugged (La Ley album)

message: Has anybody noticed that this album has a number of corrections made on it? If you look at, for example, the video of El Duelo, you will notice that throughout the intro neither Beto's nor Ely's guitar can be heard, however they can be seen strumming their guitars all through the intro, Beto quite vigorously. The only guitars that can be heard are two, panned left and right, belonging to Pedro and Toshi. However, during one wide camera view you can see Pedro doing a solo on his guitar, but that isn't heard either. It is clear that some guitars have been overdubbed later on, and others was kept out of the mix.--200.14.108.1 (talk) 21:28, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Launch window

message: I've been bold and added this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject Space exploration as mid-importance because the concept covered by the article helps define which space exploration missions are practical to acheive. Discussion appreciated! Sdsds 20:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added to WikiProject Space exploration 

message: It is always important to preserve the correct terminology and history of words that originated during the early days of the space program. The term LAUNCH PERIOD (not Launch Window) has been used to represent that period of typically 20-30 days when the planets are in favorable alignment for a launch from Earth to some other solar system body. Serious rocket scientists, mission designers, navigators, and the older project managers have used the correct term for the past 50 years … but the media (and even NASA) quite frequently use the term Launch Window. Even one or two of the newer managers at JPL slip up occasionally and use the term Launch Window when they should be using the correct term Launch Period.
	All was well during the first 20-25 years of the space program until a writer from the press published a story in which he incorrectly used the term Launch Window … and the rest is history gone awry, altered from the true terminology. Ironically, we did use the term “Daily Firing Window” for that short time interval of an hour or so on each day of the Launch Period when it was possible to initiate lift-off. But you don’t hear that term much anymore. In fact, one of the JPL Voyager news bulletins in the latter 1970s even changed that term from daily firing window to launch window, but clearly referring to the one-hour window for lift-off on one of the days in the launch period.
	Finally, Wikipedia has it wrong at the moment, but is willing to correct the usage if NASA shows some effort to do so. I have notified the JPL Office of Communications and Education to make an effort to release articles that use the correct term Launch Period in an effort to preserve our true history at JPL. I have also notified NASA of this situation, and their historian has begun to research the subject. If need be, I can get several of the early project managers at JPL to attest to the correct usage, including even some space program archivists.
Sincerely,
Charles Kohlhase

message: As someone coming here to find out about Zebda and this Zebda album, it would be nice to know what in the world that whole second paragraph is about. Apparently Chirac (who is called "Le Bruit et l'Odeur"?) made a controversial statement of some kind. If that's relevant, I'd like to know what it is. Wouldn't that be reasonable? There's a vague reference to "how far life in France has come". What am I supposed to make of that? It should take only a few more focused words to have this article make sense to someone that's not an insider. Apparently, "engaging samples" have something to do with "social focus". How is that? And "especially in the south" may be a reference with a meaning obvious to whoever wrote this, but I honestly don't know if we're talking about vacationers on the French Riviera or what, and I think I'm a reasonably intelligent person.

message: Someone is pushing for conspiracy theory narratives.
Every country has a law that authorizes central bank and commercial banks certain actions. Please, show me the law in any country in the world that authorizes of “creation of money” by commercial banks. I will give you a hint. The laws of United States can be found at https://uscode.house.gov/ . The laws of the United Kingdom could be found at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ Please, stop spreading conspiracy theories.
The Cornell Law Review article used in references do not say anything about “money creation” by commercial banks. It says about earning money by lending and then using earned money to lend even more.
The Central Bank of every country DO control the volume of money in circulation and DOES issues (create) money. All money that is issued by central bank is physically printed/minted and stored either in central bank or in commercial banks. It is not frequently moved, because banks have agreements between each other. The physical money transportation is expensive and is not practical to transport every time someone made a payment. The physical money usually transported depending on agreement between banks. It could be on the monthly, quarterly, bi-quarterly or any other term basis.
The commercial banks DO NOT create any money. Commercial Bank can only redirect the money flow from someone’s savings into circulation by lending. The commercial bank lending is limited by the amount of saving deposits it received, minus reserve rate set by central bank. For instance, if Joe Doe deposited in their savings account $100 and central bank set 10% reserve rate, then commercial bank can lend only $90 ($100 * 0.1 = $10 - the amount of money should be kept by the commercial bank as reserve as directed by central bank, $100 - $10 = $90 - the amount of money commercial bank can lend).
