Talk:Tifinagh/Archive 1

message: i did see that mustafaa wirited about many theories , and noone of them are sure. nevertheless he did not write any critice. but when i say that tifinagh may be itif +negh = our invention ,the he did write a critice. see his manner :
 
"...A few activists 'claim' that "tifinagh" comes from the two Berber words itif + negh, meaning our invention in the Berber language; 'however, given that the singular is 'tafineq (of which tifinagh is the regular plural), the etymology more commonly given (eg by 'Karl Prasse') relates to to the 'Greek' phoinikos "'Phoenician'".
see his titel : 
some people  ('not scholars')  'claim' that; but the scholars say'...)
here i have a source  of Mustafaa A'ashi (specialised in archaeology and the old history) and he say that some research workers concernig tifinagh thank that it mean our invention. and he think that also. but he is a specialist in archeology and the old history not such as mustafaa claim (not scholars).
further are all the theorie concerning tafinagh may be criticed  and the question is : 
why he has only the theory of "'our invention" criticised en why he accepts not the contributions of the berber scholars? is this no serious force reason to stop him with his random criticism ?Aziri 11:25, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: Is the reason for not including the association this company has with hacking allegations in this article is because there's not even a single blog or news covering it, or is it because it's unreliable (I have no idea)? However, I feel like it is better to just go with a non-bureaucratic (I have no better word) approach and add this uncovered hacking stuff to the article mostly for completeness. Agree or not?

thread_title:  Map 

message: In the "Biblical" sub-section of the "Name" section on this page there is an odd line:
"The date of the Book of Isaiah cannot precede the date of the man Isaiah, in the 8th century BC."
I'm not exactly sure what this is trying to get at. Maybe it's trying to compare the antiquity of the reference in Isaiah to the antiquity of the other sources? It seems like this should be reworded, such as something like "This reference has been traditionally dated to the lifetime of the Isaiah in the 8th century BC, modern scholars usually date the Book of Isaiah to X year", not sure what the current consensus is on that. On a side note, it is very possible that sections and traditions within the Book of Isaiah could pre-date Isaiah.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.238.185 (talk) 13:39, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines/Affinity programs

message: I see affinity programs being:
*Code shares
*Frequent flyer programs
*Airport lounge access programs
*:Category:Airline alliances 
With the possible exception of the alliances, using common templatees does not work since not all airlines share in these programs equally.  Airline 1 may code share will airline 2 but not airline 3.  Airline 1 may offer club access with airline 3 but not airline 2.
This leaves open the issue of how to provide this information.  The options include:
* Placing a Category in each article as required
* Listing these within the article in list format pointing to the main article on the prorgrams (if there is one)
With different programs and members this could amount to a lot of data.  It does change, but not all that frequently.  Vegaswikian 21:13, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Crown Royal Presents the Your Name Here 400

message: This race is going to have a different name next year.  Crown Royal was using the name "Your Name Here 400."  I think the article title should be changed to "Crown Royal Presents the Your Name Here 400."  The name of each year's race could be included in the article's information.  Does anyone agree?  Disagree? WildFan48 02:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, this is the official name of the race, and it won't have a new official name until next year, so I'd say keep it until a new name is given. Many race names change on a yearly basis (see especially the first Busch Series season opener at Daytona), and I think the race name should be whatever the present year's official name is. Next year, a move and a redirect to the new name will suffice. -- SonicAD (talk) 14:56, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: On the Lethal Lockdown page, it is suggested that the page be merged into the steel cage match page (with a discussion link that leads to this page).  I STRONGLY DISAGREE with this suggestion, as there is no basis for it other than that the match is a type of steel cage match.  There are numerous threads documenting types of matches (Such as WarGames match, Cage of Death, and Elimination Chamber) which document specific types of matches which involve cages but have grown in notoriety to the point that they are known as superior to regular cage matches.  Each match page documents the history of individual match, going into greater information and detail than would be possible in one massive article.  Clint 08:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

It may seem from the Spanish perspective that one Galicia is way more notable than the other one and is much more likely to be meant by someone who enters "Galicia" in the search string, but from the Eastern European perspective it is exactly the opposite way. As such, the solution that was used until now for a long time was neutral and suited everyone.

Not necessarily quite as straightforward as that. The town was known until recent times as simply An Clár / Clare. It has a bridge and it has a castle: the longer versions of the name in Irish and English have just fixed on two different features of the place.

I'd like to see all the article names standardized (I have no problem with the "U.S." pre-designator) to reflect the actual name by which the unit is known--changing it to the prejudices of others seems to defeat the purpose of an encyclopedia.
