Talk:Gymkhana (equestrian)

message: FYI: The term Gymkhana is used all across the USA, even the West Coast. Here in California, showing horses for over 40 yrs, I had never heard of the term Omoksee before I ran across this article. I had to look it up and did find some places use both terms.
:May be mostly Pacific Northwest regional use; other terms include "playday."  In the cowboy west, though, "gymkhana" is not used, or if used, is attributed mostly to English riding games.  Interesting how California takes on more east coast terms and manners than the inland west.  Montanabw(talk) 18:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: When I did a thorough set of web searches just now, "gymkhana" came up as much more common in Oregon and Washington -- "omoksee" brought up lots of pages in places like Montana instead. It's likely because the Blackfoot tribes were/are in Alberta & Montana. —Xyzzy☥the☥Avatar 03:30, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Gymkhana is usually pony club and English riders, WA and OR sources probably reflect that.  Montana is, however, the west, and yes, I think it is where it originated.  Montana is not the south nor the midwest, by the way. Sourcing all around would help, as always.   Montanabw(talk) 02:19, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The following sentence is redundant as it is the rest of the English speaking world-  Gymkhana is the word used in the United Kingdom, east coast of the United States and California, and in other English-speaking nations such as India and Australia.  Simply saying parts of the western United States call it o-mok-see is enough. 69.86.6.150 (talk) 19:30, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, but California is in the west, and at least on the coast, they use "gymkhana."  There's room to refine the phrasing, but basically, omoksee is of limited geographical use, it isn't an alternative term other than in the inland west, where it is nearly exclusive.  Montanabw(talk) 18:15, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes so we just need to say that gymknanas are called o-mok-see in one specific area. 69.86.6.150 (talk) 23:07, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

text:  Since much of the text was apparently copy-pasted from a dodgy looking site http://www.omoksee.com/history.html - could you try to improve the text and add actual references? The somewhat kitschy description of people "riding their horses in tact with the drums" sounds like a naive, condescending white person's fantasy about how the natives might have celebrated, and seems well below the usual trustworthiness level of Wikipedia, which is terrible enough as it is.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.113.89.21 (talk) 11:05, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Eco-warrior

message: This article had a merge tag on it (for merger with the Direct action page) that had been in place since September 2007 with no comments or discussion here.  I have taken the liberty of removing the tag, because the "eco-warrior" and the direct action concepts are very, very different.  I wouldn't have unilaterally removed the tag but for the lack of discussion, the length of time, and the very different nature of the two topics.  If you restore the tag or otherwise support the merge, please state your reasons here. Bry9000 (talk) 20:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Comment

message: I removed the Italian Republic flag (of 1946) icon from the Infobox, in accordance with several sections of WP:ICON; specifically (quoting),
*Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many....
*Flags make simple, blunt statements about nationality, while words can express the facts with more complexity. [Catanzaro  was for many centuries part of the Norman Empire of Sicily, the Angevin Kingdom of Naples, the Aragonese Kingdom of Naples, the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy and the Savoyard Kingdom of Italy. The Italian flag removed was that of the Republic of Italy, not created until 1946]....
*Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure [including some bishops], event, object, etc. Political boundaries change, often over the span of a biographical article subject's lifetime. Where ambiguity or confusion could result, it is better not to use a flag at all, and where one is genuinely needed, use the historically accurate flag.

message: This is a highly idiosyncratic example to use in demonstrating invidia. It's extremely complex: Jupiter feels envy?

replies: text: Oh. I see now from the wielding of the lit-theoretical language particularly in the notes that this was a student paper. Well, it's a start anyway. But if the article is to be distinguished from envy, it needs to preserve its focus on Latin invidia; Shakespeare starts to wander in, and unless he used invidia instead of "envy", we are going off our "behavioral scripts."

thread_title:  Banchoff link 

message: The article mentions the "chess board" floor a few times, but it fails to recognize that it’s a 2d pendant to the 3d main object in the painting: A 3d cube can be unfolded into a 2d cross, just like the 4d tesseract can be unfolded into the pictured 3d "cross", and this is shown in the dark squares on the floor beneath the cross. 
So in a way, the "chess board" on the ground seems to have been a side effect of Dali’s wish to illustrate and clarify the unfolding mechanism.
Of course, this is what I see in the painting, so I’m not sure how that can be added into the article, if at all. 
The best place would probably be in this sentence, at the end of the section "Tesseract":
"The motif of the cube is present elsewhere: Gala is standing on one, and the chessboard is made up of squares."
By the way, does "Gala is standing on one" refer to a different painting? If so, that should be made clearer, and would also deserve a reference with the title of – and if possible a link to – that painting. Geke (talk) 22:37, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
