thread_title: [[African Pygmy Elephant]]

message: While this did appear in the Indian media - there needs to be a more reliable source than a stray link to a personal website or suchlike. Please see WP:RS. Shyamal (talk) 10:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A news came up yesterday that pygmy elephant is being caught on tape in Kerala. Here is the news source. If this looks authentic, please add the details to the corresponding section. Subin Sebastian (talk) 12:07, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Authentic would be where there is a proper scale with a person next to a captive elephant. Or the video would show the elephant mark a part of the tree and have a person measure it when the elephant moves off and the camera stays in the same position. I think this is just a bunch of images and observations taken out of context and interpreted poorly. At best, this would appear to be a case of an abnormal individual and almost certainly not a species or subspecies. Shyamal (talk) 04:10, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Skookum

message: This article smells like bullshit to me.  I've lived in the Portland area for twenty years and I have never once heard this used.  Can anyone find a citation for its "general use"? unless (talk) 08:00, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Purely anecdotal, but growing up in the Puget Sound region, I knew older folks who used this to mean "securely attached" or "well fitted".  I suspect it was once in more general usage throughout the PNW.  A google search suggests it might still be in active use in BC. walkie (talk) 10:22, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

text: Growing up in BC, I heard this word used quite a bit, never in Vancouver, but among blue-collar forestry-types. My dad or grampa would typically use it to mean neat, useful or powerful, especially in relation to size, as in "I just got a Skookum little electric fishing motor for my boat. It's quiet but it really goes. Vroom-vroom." (Vroom is also a pacific-northwest word-- used to evoke the noise made by a motor or engine.)Stevecudmore (talk) 16:35, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

text: Also growing up in BC, I have often heard the word used in reference to objects which are well made, or well suited to their purpose, as in "that's a Skookum jig you got there".
I am unlikely to have time to work on this page much, but here's a few of possibly useful sources, I think all reliable:
*  (says the term is still in active use in BC)
*

text: How exactly do these sources allow us to write more than a dictionary definition? I don't see it. Huon (talk) 01:25, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

text: Your inline edit comment "how can a tool manufacturer be a valid cite for linguistics" sums up how off-base the opposition to this article and the Tools cite is out of touch with this word being a cultural phenomenon; this isn't a linguistics article.   The article is about a popular word and its varying meanings, including the usage for a sasquatch-like beasty and the widely-marketed Skookum Doll and it's the basis for the word Skookumchuck......which is also not a linguistics article but about a thing.  This article, too, involves things (the monster, the dolls) and so the word has to be defined/explained.  The point with the tools cite is it's not a cite from a book about native culture/language, this is a word that's current in non-native life and has a history and identification wth this region; your attempt to get it deleted was way out of line.Skookum1 (talk) 02:16, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Squirt Boarding?? Name not widely accepted 

message: After reading the article, as a naive reader who just wandered in without "insider knowledge", I'm still feeling pretty clueless. Multiple maneuver names and equipment models get mentioned repeatedly without descriptive elaboration. WTF are "Mystery Moves", "Hellbenders", "screwability", etc., etc. etc. I.e. to an inexperienced reader like myself they're just empty words until someone can find a way to fill them in, to bridge the gap with descriptive detail, comparative examples, and so on. 
That said, I also want to say thanks to folks who've worked to put something in place. Even if it seems pretty arcane and opaque at times, it's a start and I appreciate the article having been here to inspire some curiosity.

But if nobody actually calls it that ("the Jack Nicklaus Freeway"), barring newscasters/news commercials?, should that wording be changed to reflect that? I honestly doubt anyone actually calls it that in their common everyday lives. I've only heard it from what my mind is telling me are news commercials. I've known from some random thing I've seen say a bunch of times "the Jack Nicklaus Freeway" but I had absolutely no idea that it was 270. I mean people do call it The Outbelt, I've heard that from people outside of the news. I don't feel like the current wording reflects reality and propose it might need changed to reflect reality.
