message: It might help regarding some English-usage related debates to have a new template that is related to the R from alternate spelling like  or .  This would help consistency for the print version of Wikipedia and set the stage for "non-fork forking" of content that could be achieved via a view on the data rather than forking the data into two or more English Wikipedias.

Talk:Bundesautobahn 1

message: I saw your RfC and thought I'd respond, as a potential user of the article, not an expert. All I know about autobahns comes from driving across Germany and back again some years ago. If I was planning a journey using this road, I would probably use a journey planning site like Michelin or the AA (UK). I would not expect to see a map of all the interchanges in the wikipedia article. What I liked about this article was the extra information, for example about where you might find tailbacks. So my view is that yes, the infobox is too large and you should concentrate on including extra information. It is always useful to know about places to stop off and rest/eat/stay.

We don;t need to know about every junction, so it might be better to break down the table into a number of sections.

Talk:Konkani language

message: This is with regard to the classification of Konkani dialects. This has already been discussed earlier. To summarise, the speakers of the Konkani dialects of Maharashtra and the Konkani language both call their respective tongues Konkani. For this reason, the names 'Maharashtrian Konkani' and 'Goan Konkani' are used to differentiate the two usages of the word Konkani. The dialects comprising Maharashtrian Konkani have collectively been assigned the ISO code knn while the rest of the Konkani dialects come under the ISO code gom. The languages with the ISO codes knn and gom are grouped together under the Konkani macrolanguage with ISO code kok. However the term 'Goan Konkani' being used to refer to the non-maharashtrian dialects is misleading and indeed a misnomer because the dialects under the ISO code kok are not confined to the territory of the state of Goa (eg. Mangalorean and Malvani) and in common parlance, Goan Konkani is understood to be the dialects spoken in the geographical area of Goa (eg. Antruz, Saxtti and Bardeskari). This classification is shown in the image. Hence, 'Goan Konkani' should be used carefully, and as far as possible should be avoided when referring collectively to the non-maharashtrian dialects.

thread_title: Requested move

message: I have removed all references to the name's alleged etymology, as they are unsourced. Knowing as I do that it seems likely that the town's name is inspired by the German words nasse Aue ("wet floodplain"), I nonetheless reject any statement made as though fact to the effect that this is what the town's name means, the reason being that a name's modern form can be misleading as the result of sound shifts, semantic shifts, folk etymology, corruption of the pronunciation down the centuries, and, I'm sure, other things, too. Even the de:WP article does not explain the name's origin. If you know German and think that the etymology is "obvious", I would direct your attention to such German placenames as Katzenelnbogen ("obviously" means "cat's elbow", but that's not its etymology), Feuchtwangen ("obviously" means "moist cheeks", but that's not its etymology) or indeed Darmstadt ("obviously" means "gut town", but that's not its etymology).

Talk:Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales

message: I'll rewrite the article myself in a couple of weeks, but for the moment, the description of the case and its background is flat-out wrong.  Colorado had a "mandatory arrest" statute for restraining order violations, which Gonzales argued gave her a property right in its enforcement, which is what she argued was violated (asides from the violation of the mandatory arrest provision - which wouldn't have been a matter for federal courts anyway).  The issue of Federal enforcement of restraining orders was never raised (and wouldn't have made it to SCOTUS if it had!) and the court really didn't rule on anything besides Gonzales's property right claim and the due process complaint.  Technically, the court didn't even rule that Castle Rock wasn't responsible so much as that it just ruled Castle Rock hadn't violated the 14th Amendment (the Court opinion treated the restraining order as a process, and decided that there are no due process rights to be provided a process) and the suit could thus be thrown out of Federal court.
