message: I OBJECT to the normalization of spellings to Old Irish. In Ireland when the letternames were being standardized for Unicode, the names were normalized, in consultation with a wide variety of experts and those names are what were settled upon. I will revert the recent changes. Evertype 01:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Normalized spellings 

message: I never claimed Peith was a "modern invention". It predates AD 1400. It is also clearly the youngest letter listed here, probably post-dating 1100. Listing Peith as the only letter on top of the 25 "manuscript tradition" letters is somewhat of an "Unicode fixation". At least supernumerary letters (above the standard 25)  should be listed apart from the classical 5 forfeda. Luckily, there is room left, so Peith, if we must have it, has its a column to itself until we add yet more late letters. dab (ᛏ) 15:18, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I really don't think this adds anything. "Classical forfeda"? Give us a break. Peith is listed among the forfeda when it is listed. I think the change you made makes the template worse, and I think it should be reverted. Evertype 21:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sugamo Prison

message: I was stationed at Sugamo for over three years (1947 - 1950) and your article is misleading if not inaccurate. Althought the major war criminals (only 25 men) went to trial by the IMTFE (International Military Tribunal for the Far East) about two thousand others were incarcerated at Sugamo (including women) and they went to a different trial altogether.
Secondly, the prison was certainly not operated by Japanese personnel and supervised by the Americans, at least not when I was there. Several hundred of the American soldiers were sent into Korea at the outbreak of the Korean conflict so I cannot speak of what happened then.
I belong to a group of men who were assigned to the prison and anything I have written may be verified by them.

Taking the Maisy battery was a later objective, and could not be completed until the reinforcements of the 5th Battalion arrived. Because of delays and mishaps, the 5th Battalion of 500 men could not come in behind Rudder's Rangers at PdHoc, instead they had to land at their secondary target, Omaha beach. Rudder's Rangers ran out of ammo and food because of the delays, and still completed the objective taking the Maisy Battery on June 9th Missing or delaying an objective is not the same as disobeying orders.TopOtheMorning (talk) 05:13, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Tien Gow

message: I reverted the spelling modernization changes for couple of reasons: ( Undid revision 439244246 by 92.21.47.179 )
1. The word Tien Gow and Pai Gow has entered the English language long time ago before modern Chinese spelling was invented. These words were written in English books by scholars or introduced to the Western communities by early immigrants before there were modernized Chinese spellings. You can annotate the article with a modern pronunciation guide next to the original English words, but you should not change the spelling of the English words themselves. For example, The word Kowtow is an English word that correspond to the Chinese word 叩頭 kòutóu, you cannot go into the Kowtow article and modernize all the spellings of kowtow. This is an English article in the English edition of wikipedia about a Chinese subject. It is NOT a transliteration of an article from the Chinese edition of wikipedia. Therefore, you should leave the article in the original English spelling.  Don't turn existing English words into pinyin!
2. If you look into early Western contacts and trade with China before the 18th century, they were made through the ports of Amoy (Today's 廈門), Macau (Today's 澳門) etc. Also look into the history of overseas Chinese immigrants, you will notice that 99% of early Chinese immigrants to the western world 150 years ago came from South China. As a result, most of Chinese based English words like Tea, Ketchup, Kowtow were NOT Mandarin based because the westerners learned about these Chinese words in Hakka, Cantonese, and Amoy etc. These words have entered the English volcabulary centuries before the modern Chinese Mandarin spelling was put in place. Changing all these English words into modern Pinyin spelling is simply WRONG. Tien Gow is a English word introduced to the Western world via Cantonese speaking immigrants, spelling it tianjiu in pinyin does not make sense at all.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National geography

message: First off, I find the "land use" distinctions to be vague and obscure. I understand this is probably the distinction the CIA World Factbook uses, but we should at least link to an article with an explanation of these four categories, perhaps by Wikilinking the "Land use" title. Also, is "forests and woodlands" a land use? Unless you're logging the area for wood, it's more a non-use of the land.
I caution against using climate in infoboxes (just in case someone decides to put it in). Many countries are large enough to have several different climates.
Other possible items for inclusion (if we could get the data) are longest river, largest lake etc. How about something to do with seismology? Number of active volcanoes? USGS Earthquake risk rating? I think we should break out from the stock-standard CIA World Factbook data. It might be public domain, but it's overwhelmingly crap. - Mark 01:38, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Page 418 is not accessible online, not even as a snippet. There are a couple of mistakes/confusions/misnomers and we cannot check whose it is: the source's or some editor's.
* "The Yarmukian is a Pottery Neolithic culture that inhabited parts of Palestine and Jordan."
That part of Jordan is also in the "Palestine region", which makes it very confusing. Northern Israel and northern Jordan is explicit. Should check in new source if the northern West Bank is also included; if yes, then it must be added: so 2 or 3 easily identifiable geographical areas. Forget politics, be clear! Not the right place to fight out the I/A conflict.
* "Its type site is at Sha'ar HaGolan, on the river mouth."
No it's not, Sha'ar ha-Golan is several km as the crow flies N of the confluence of the Yarmuk with the Jordan River, plus in this area the Yarmuk has lots of wide meanders, so for the water the confluence is even much farther. No access to page 418, don't know whose mistake it is and how to fix it.

* spawned the American Automobile Association and, I think but have not confirmed, the American Radio Relay League.
* declined and ceased to function in 1902.
* was reorganized in 1939 and remained active until 1955.
* Again was reorganized in 1965 and has maintained continuity through the present.
I have now substantially expanded and revised the article based on research I have conducted into the League's operations.
