Talk:Regions of Italy

message: At some point we're going to have to deal with this: the various articles usually assume that the modern region is the same as the ancient Roman region. The error — that's what it is — is particularly important in the case of Lazio (not the same as the ancient Latium), Puglia (which should not be called Apulia, see current usage of English speakers who actually go there, travel agents, etc.; and Apulia in Antiquity was significantly different) and, the worst one, Calabria (which in Antiquity referred to a totally different area: to what is now southern Puglia: i.e., to the heel and not the toe).
I've already taken care of Umbria, q.v..
It would properly be best to have an article Regions of Roman Italy, with the 14 Augustan regions, and each of them would have their article, on the same pattern as the modern regions; the evolution of the regions and their names might best be treated in those articles.
Then all the links would have to be checked, much as someone/something these days is going thru Roman and changing some of them over to ancient Roman. Bill 08:31, 4 June 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Gaspard Dughet

message: There are four variants of this name (Google hits):
* Gaspar Poussin (293)
* Gaspar Dughet (170)
* Gaspard Poussin (593)
* Gaspard Dughet (658)
Dughet was adopted by Nicolas Poussin, hence the family name change. This article, based on the 1911 Britannica, calls the painter Gaspar Poussin. The top Google hits for this name are WP mirrors. The current Britannica calls him Gaspard Dughet. The category on commons is also called "Gaspard Dughet". Unfortunately, I created a redirect Gaspard Dughet pointing to this article, so it now takes an admin to move the article to what I believe to be the correct location. Rl 08:43, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Private limited company by shares

message: I would have thought that most companies would have been the smaller proprietary companies. This is true in Australia.
Propreitary Limited (Pty Ltd) does not exist as a company form in the UK and Ireland. The main types of incorporated company are private limited companies (as discussed here) and  public limited companies. There's also  companies limited by guarentee, and the UK has limited liabillity partnerships, but Ireland doesn't. Private limited companies are by far the majority in either case.--83.70.58.4 17:13, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Italicisation or not 

message: *Italics are used for titles of published works that are novels, films, published screenplays of films; quotation marks are used to indicate titles of short stories and of other works of short prose fiction (generally including dramatic sketches), of poems (except for very long poems, like the Iliad, etc.), speeches (such as Pinter's Nobel Lecture, "Art, Truth and Politics"; the title of the published volume containing it is indicated as Art, Truth and Politics), and so on.
*Though quotation marks are used for titles of (dramatic) sketches (and/or short works of prose fiction, e.g., monologues), I have found some recent published critical studies of Pinter's works are using italics for titles of dramatic sketches [i.e, treating them as titles of plays].  Because that convention may be in flux, I am retaining use of italics for published dramatic sketches (see edit. summ. done on 5/5/09). (updated.) --NYScholar (talk) 00:45, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

1. The Ruthenian population has never been deported (only some people considered by communist authorities were as Ukrainian activists were).

* Podlesia Poland: About 383 results

Commentary on names: Podlachia is the name of the region in Latin. Podlesie seems like a weird typo or rare variant that probably shouldn't be in lead. Podlasie is the name of the region in Polish. Podlaskie refers to the Podlaskie Voivodeship. 
Based on the above, I'd recommend moving the article to Podlasie. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  01:08, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi, I am a student doing research on gold leaching when I came across the compound sodium dicyanoaurate. What baffles me is that while there is a page on sodium cyanide, one on gold leaching, and one on potassium dicyanoaurate, there are no pages on this website on specifically the compound sodium dicyanoaurate anywhere.

text: TPA is abbreviation of terephthalic acid. In the past, it was not possible to produce TPA in high purity. That was why the first monomer used for polyester production was DMT. In time, scientists succeeded in purifying TPA to a level that allows it to be commercialized and as a commercial marketing idea, it was named as PTA which is the abbreviation for purified terephthalic acid.

Cooxidation
The cooxidation technique uses auxiliary substance which is simultaneously oxidized to H2O2 which increase the activity of the oxidation catalyst. Oxidisable compound: Acetaldehyde(Toray process, Japan), paraldehyde( Eastmann,USA) methyl ethyl ketone The p-xylene, paraldehyde and cobalt acetate soln enters at the head of bubble column. The oxidation occurs at 100-140oC, 30bar with acetic acid as coproduct and solvent. It uses milder condition than Amoco and no corrosion caused by bromine
it looks like this text was added 
in this edit on 28 oct 2013.
i only noticed it because of the lack of special characters used, (i.e. H2O2 instead of H2O2 and 100-140oC instead of 100-140 °C)but the text itself also seems rough and unfinished. it also cuts off mid sentence. my life in chemistry didn't go beyond first year university, so i am rather unqualified to tackle this.

message: I refer to the latest 'example' added and seek two clarifications from fellow editors:
1. Is it appropriate to list the song as an example of a chaconne (the music form), perhaps due to its ever-repeating chord progression and not just its namesake? If so, I fear that we have to qualify pop songs of a similar repetitive nature as chaconnes too.
2. Would it help to inform readers (with citation of course) that the song is lyrically inspired by the chaconne's roots as dance music?
Additionally, if the answer to Point 1 above is 'no', I suggest moving (if we agree not to delete) any mention of the song to a new section like 'Others' or 'Reference in pop music'. 明赫邑大酋 (talk) 14:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
