Talk:Artichoke (disambiguation)

message: I added eating technique. Many many years ago my brother in law took me to La Coupole, an incredibly famous arty restaurant in Paris. There I had my first ever artichoke experience. I wish I had known about them in advance. Trying to eat the whole leaves while your dear relative falls off his chair with mirth is not an experience to be repeated. Maybe kids nowadays are more wordly wise and this would not come as a surprise, but hey ... :) Nevilley 00:46 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)

The Arab origin for this kind of vegetable is well attested but we must remember that the word in arabic is not "ardi shawqi" for "artichoke" but "kharshùf" or "khurshùf".

message: Hi there, I just noticed that Leinster Irish is marked on the page as extinct, but there are several distinct Leinster Irish dialects still alive such as those in Ring, Waterford or Rathcairn, Meath both of which are in Leinster? 
There are preservation efforts in place for these as well. ParadauxIO (talk) 12:36, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Leinster Irish is indeed extinct. Last remnants were found in remote pockets of Wicklow and southern Dublin, parts of Offaly and Roscommon (there is a famous recording of Douglas Hyde, for example). The two areas you mention have some Irish now, but nothing to do with Leinster Irish.  Rathcairn was not an Irish-speaking area when the Gaeltacht there was founded - families were brought from a coastal part of Connemara, and the Irish used there is a mix of Connacht Irish and the caighdean (the standardised written Irish form, the base of which is Connacht more than any other dialect). And Waterford is in Munster, and the Irish spoken, mostly up in the hills, and much faded since the 1940s/1950s, is very clearly a Munster form (I have heard it). SeoR (talk) 01:25, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

message: The article states that the theorem is readily generalized to functions of several variables, but I don't see how, not the least of which is because the dimensions of the domain need not be the same as the dimensions of the range (for example, a vector-valued function of a scalar would have what kind of series, or vice versa?).--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:03, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ethnic Groups Edit 

message: More than 80% of the "history" section here is devoted to United-States-military-related controversies and anti-American Okinawan movements, and the treatment is rather unbalanced. There is no mention at all of Japanese assimilationist and colonial policies, in fact the only discussion of any tensions with Japan is a single sentence that is mainly about... U.S. military bases. The Ryukyu independence movement is depicted as primarily anti-American. A U.S. activist's blog about his visit to a particularly affected village is cited to support a claim about what Okinawans in general believe - and the site doesn't even contain the claim.
The History of the Ryukyu Islands article has a far more reasonable treatment and the "history" section here ought to give weight to topics in about the same proportion as it does. 70.51.105.125 (talk) 21:01, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

message: I removed the following fragment.
:, Okinawan: ʔUchinā-chin
It has been edited many times, and , aka , is responsible for the latest state.
* An abuse of citation. The Okinawa-go jiten (1963) has no such entry.
* It indeed seems to be a ghost word. See Fiza Kiyoshi's Uchināguchi sanka (2006), for example. The language activist published an Okinawan-Japanese parallel text, where the Okinawan part was extensively annotated with ruby to indicate Okinawan pronunciations. He never gave a ruby to 沖縄県, indicating that he treated it as a loan word from Standard Japanese.
* BTW, 県 is an interesting word. Standard Japanese /ke/ regularly corresponds to Shuri Okinawan /ki/, not /ci/. However, Shimabukuro Seibin listed an entry /ciɴcoo/ (県庁) as an obsolete term that was later replaced by /kiɴcoo/. This irregular correspondence can also be found in some other Sino-Japanese words. Hattori (2018:142-152)[1978] gave an extensive discussion. In short, this exception can be explained if we assume that the Sino-Japanese sound system was borrowed at an intermediate stage of Shuri Okinawan, where /ke/ and /ki/ remained distinct but were phonetically realized as [kᶤi] and [ⱪi], respectively.

message: I don't think we need a policy on "Dirty laundry". If it is well accepted as fact, then there is no reason to exclude it.

thread_title:  Comment 

message: My POV on this: Richard Wagner held contemptible views, and appears to have been an obnoxious person. At the same time, he wrote remarkable music. We should only report facts (when there is consensus) and opinions (where there is controversy).  Wagner's views are a matter of record, their obnoxiousness an almost universal opinion about those views. Similiarly with the fact of his composition of his works, and the almost universal opinion that they are great works of music. All of these are significant facts and opinions about Wagner, and thus fitting encylopedia material.   Similar reasoning applies to the other cases: just report the facts and opinions.The Anome
Tell it all.  Give readers the chance to realize that no one is perfect. You can't make an informed opinion when information is withheld from you.  Wikipedian's NPOV will probably show the bad points in a moderate and inoffensive way. User:TomCerul
It's a matter of emphasis. We can certainly talk about the contemptible moral actions of famous people, and should not withhold such information, but this shouldn't occupy most of the article, because these are not the facts we consider most important about these people.

Talk:Samothrace

message: Hi, I noticed there's a slow revert war going on about whether or not to include the Turkish name form. Seems to be similar with other Greek island names. My personal view is that there's nothing wrong with including name forms of a neighbouring language for geographical units; especially in areas where national borders have shifted in the course of the last centuries, or for geographical units that otherwise have connections not only to the nation state they are now in but also to some other country/language. 
Including such a name in Wikipedia should not be construed as suggesting or even endorsing territorial or irridentist claims by the other country involved, or whatever else it is that Greek editors don't like about the Turkish names. It's perfectly innocent, useful encyclopedic information.
Look at some precedents in Wikipedia:
*Liège in Wallonic Belgium includes both Flemish Luik and German Lüttich.
*Wrocław (Poland) includes both German Breslau (which relates to a historical change of national sovereignty, and potential POV issue) and Czech Vratislav (which does not).
*Vienna (Austria) includes name forms in Slovenian, Hungarian, Czeck, Slovak, Romany, Croatian and Serbian.
*Of course, places in Turkey regularly include Greek versions, just think of Izmir/Σμύρνη/Smyrna.

thread_title:  Include Turkish name form? 

message: The majority of Greek islands never had a significant ethnically Turkish population.  Accordingly, the Turkish pronounciation of Greek names is irrelevant, and including them only inflames nationalist sentiments. 
As for Izmir, Istanbul, and other Turkish cities that formerly had sizeable Greek populations, the Greek name serves for historical purposes.  Plus, in most cases, the Turkish name is just a mispronounciation of the original Greek:

Talk:Snake handling in Christianity

message: I propose merging Snake handling in religion into Snake handling in Christianity. Most of the material in the Snake handling in religion page is about Christianity, including the separate sentence on the Ophites which were a Christian sect. That could easily be folded in. As for the one sentence on Hopi snake-handling rituals, that could easily be folded into the kachina article. Snake Handling in Christianity is a far superior article to Snake Handling in Religion, which really only adds two sentences of value.DynaGuy00 (talk) 03:14, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

message: Whilst the article is reassuring on the safety of observers and, in most cases, the fondlers;  nowhere does it mention this is gross cruelty to animals, nor of any prosecutions for such by the multifarious governments in the United States.
Extra:  on the previous Talk Page, there was a suggestion referenced to the reputable History Channel that the practice was brought over by Calvinists from Europe.
Now my opinion of Calvinism is unprintable, but apart from it's inherent unlikelihood   ---  Pressies are just not that sort of people  ---  one would have to produce evidence of the practice being used in Europe during the Renaissance and later, for it to be then exported by loons.

Talk:Athens

message: I think most editors realize now that you can't cover modern Athens and ancient Athens in the same breath. I think History of Athens was broken out of here but the break was imperfect. Too much ancient history remains here, not to mention the population of ancient Athens. We need a sharper break which I propose to make. I start by cutting the ancient history out of the "Name" section. No, I'm not going to do this on a painful line-by-line basis. See my sandbox page3 for Athens and my sandbox Page 4 for History of Athens. There is another item. The 10-year Copenhagen Study obsoleted a lot of ideas about the polis. It isn't, for example, per se a city-state. You can find my rewrite of Polis in my sandbox page2. Don't expect too much of these rewrites at first. However you are welcome to comment on any of it.
