Talk:List of religious leaders in 1220

message: I know this list is a bit crazy, but I personally find it very useful. Maybe some info could be removed (I suppose it's not necessary to list every single parish priest...). It's not really an indiscriminate list, actually it would be useful if we could make a list like this for every year. Anyway, please discuss the merger on the talk page first. Apparently everything that has been done to the page over the past couple of weeks escaped my notice through my intermittent watchlist-checking. Adam Bishop (talk) 07:33, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Norwegian Defence Research Establishment

message: I find it mildly amusing that FFI uses the mostly British English word Defence in its English language title, while at the same time describing itself as the "chief adviser on defence-related science and technology to the Ministry of Defence and the Norwegian Armed Forces’ military organization" (the latter word being the U.S. English usage, contrary to British, which would be organisation). Oh well, they are engineers and scientists after all, and is better employed doing (hard) core research rather than polishing their written English (?). --Wernher 06:44, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: A few years late (!) but just for the record, "organization" is also a valid spelling in Britain and tends to be the preferred Oxford usage.  "I am not a lexicographer" and all that, but my understanding is that the preference for "-ise" vs. "-ize" is a comparatively recent thing. --Vometia (talk) 23:21, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Konkani

message: I changed "...given India's official language status" to "...given official language status". The former version, in addition to having a redundancy, tends to imply status as India's sole official language.
On a different note, isn't fishing also a major occupation in the Konkani community?
rajneesh 09:41, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: Dear Konknni friends,
Konkani Wikipedia has been started and been in test stage since August 2006.
Kindly contribute towards the Konkani wikipedia. We intend to make it a multiscript 
Wikipeida. At least tri-script with Roman ,Devanangiri and Kannada scripts since these are the most popular ones.
We would like to get more articles/templates in place. 
We also need volunteers to do the thankless and boring job of transliterating it to different scripts .
As of now only two members are making active contributions. The more the merrier. Your contribution is vital to its success.

thread_title:  Konkani Wikipedia 

message: I propose that this page link redirect to Konkani language with a hatnote to the disambiguation page because Konkani language is the primary article (WP:PRIMARYTOPIC) for this topic, since:
1. Konkani language was viewed the most number of times (10,723) in 201105, followed by Konkan has been viewed 5420 times in 201105, Konkani people has been viewed 3478 times in 201106, and Konkani (dialect of Marathi language) has been viewed 102 times.
2. Konkani language has the most number of incoming links (nearly 1000) followed by Konkani people (little over 700), Konkan (over 600), and the others being less than 50, except for Konkani dialect (Marathi) which is the link to a small section in an article.
3. Most links to Konkani are intended for Konkani language
4. Most of the Google search results for Konkani on the first 3 pages refer to Konkani as in Konkani language
I will make this change after two days if there are no objections.

thread_title:  Ghost of Kiev 

message: I've been reading about the Somali-Ethiopian war (1977-78), & Ethiopian fighter pilots downed a total of 3 Somali aircraft -- so no aces there.
I don't know if there was any significant air combat in the Sino-Vietnamese war (1979).
We're going to need to wait until its resolution to know if there are any flying aces in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, because of military secrecy. However, I suspect if there were any Russian aces Putin's propaganda machine would have boasted about it by now. 
I have the suspicion I have forgotten one or two other post-WWII conflicts where aircraft were shot down. -- llywrch (talk) 03:46, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:White minority rule

message: From VfD:
Doesn't this amount to the same thing as apartheid? Redirect to that or a new page on minority rule in general. (Including race, religious, etc. minority government). The specificity of the title suggests that only whites might become minority rulers. TPK 11:45, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not necessarily the same thing as apartheid. Rhodesia had a white minority rule government between 1965 and 1975, but it did not apply apartheid. It's not only whites who might become minority rulers, e.g. Indians in Fiji, the prospect of which triggered several coups. -- Arwel 12:15, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Kōki Hirota

message: I edited the section concerning Hirota's sentence to better reflect the IMTFE's holding.  The previous version of this section stated that Hirota had no authority or influence over the military units whatsoever.  According to the tribunal transcripts, the latter half of that statement is inaccurate, for the tribunal spoke of Hirota's positional influence within the Japanese government.  See The Complete Transcripts of the Proceedings of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, reprinted in R. John Pritchard and Sonia Magbanua Zaide (eds.), The Tokyo War Crimes Trial, vol. 20, 49,816 (R. John Pritchard and Sonia Magbanua Zaide, eds.  Garland Publishing: New York and London 1981).

Talk:Matrix defense

message: No citations, and available case law (Westlaw) shows that "the matrix defense" was never accepted; but was rather indicative of paranoid schizophrenia or some other underlying pathological condition that could potentially negated culpability. As such it is not a legal defence, or even a factor that mitigates culpability but an expression of a serious mental condition and as such, there is no need to retain it, except perhaps as a footnote for an insanity plea.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.146.119.9 (talk) 18:23, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The article is based on a very limited number of modern sources, and the "bias" seems typical of the 1911 Britannica from which it no doubt was originally filched.

message: The mention of war with Mithridates says this occurred in the year 171. I don't know if this means AD or BC but in either case, the Mithridatic wars were all in the 1st century BC so this date must be inaccurate. I don't have access to the cited source to correct this, although looking at the page's history it appears that an earlier paragraph mentioning the year 171 was edited to include mention of Mithridates VI, so it may refer to a different event. 98.247.80.12 (talk) 16:32, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Mithridates

message: Just today I added the line "Not long after the battle Thespiae was razed by Thebes and its inhabitants expelled" along with a source. However, after that comes the already existing line "At some point later the city was restored". But is it possible to give a better estimate of the date, I wonder? During the research I've done myself, I've found this section of Demosthenes' speech For the Megalopolitans which reads "...the Thebans will be weakened by the refounding of Orchomenus, Thespiae and Plataea...". That speech was delivered in 352. From the wording I understand those cities are yet to be refounded, or have just been refounded. Does anyone else have more insight into this, or shall I mention this speech in the article as an indication that by 352 it might have been refounded or was about to be refounded?

message: The san Fernando Valley natural gas fire 3 wells, within full view of a major metropolitan area, and covered by dozens of news agencies, good access to this fire. (It was bright enough to read by, over 5 miles away! hundreds of thousands of people could see it from their house) This was in the late 60's or early 70's.  Anyone want to tackle this 'subarticle'?
also please expand my 'techniques of fighting' section if you can.  I think one of the most fascinating aspects of red's story is the apparent simplicity of the technique (snuff the flame/cork the well)combined with the extreme danger of actually implementing the techniques involved.

message: I'm not sure this page works as it is; it seems as though we are providing two definitions in the initial section. Also, why are we assuming completeness? Best, mat_x 14:57, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not about proving there is a def. and characteristic property, I do not think a proof should be in enciclopedia. If there is no completeness then a Jacobi field(as a solution) can have no correspondent variation of geodesic. I did not finish yet hope it will converge to something in a couple of days Tosha 21:44, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

text: My point is that the introductory section doesn't seem very clear for someone who doesn't know what a Jacobi field is. Besides, Wikipedia is much more than an encyclopaedia: "In addition to standard encyclopedic knowledge, Wikipedia includes information more often associated with almanacs and gazetteers". But that's not what I was saying. I think the article should begin by saying that in an abstract sense a Jacobi field is a solution to a differential equation, regardless of whether the manifold is complete or not. At the moment is seems as if completeness is being required throughout. mat_x 08:59, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

text: hope you like it better Tosha 22:50, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I'm not just persuing my own agenda. I do think the page is looking better, but what do you think? Do you agree that these changes are good ones? It's important that you're happy as I can't anticipate everyone's opinion. I still have a minor reservation though, in that the definition skips from the 'complete' formulation, to the Jacobi equation, and then back to mentioning completeness.

message: The link is dead, so it would be good to have some proper sourcing for the tale about people hanging towels from windows looking for the Monster's secret chamber(s). There is one website online which says it dates from the 1870s and supposedly took place in the 1850s - supposedly engineered by a wife whose husband disliked her and shortly afterwards kicked her out or something. I dare say the story, if there is any truth in it, has grown in the telling. One thing the internet in general (and wikipedia in particular) is very good for is debunking popular myths, eg. entertaining but fanciful stories about the origins of words and phrases. A lot of the supposedly "true" ghost stories which I heard in my youth - Borley Rectory, Gef the Mongoose, Lord Dufferin, the Amityville Horror etc - are debunked on wikipedia, which is good.
