Talk:Onomatopoeia

thread_title:  Cri-cri IS NOT the snip of a pair of scissors in Italian 

message: The article says "onomatopeia" is an American English spelling, but as an American, I've never seen it used. The following online dictionaries don't recognize the spelling at all: https://www.dictionary.com/, https://www.merriam-webster.com/, https://dictionary.cambridge.org/, and https://www.britannica.com/dictionary.  Furthermore, https://www.thefreedictionary.com/ redirects to "onomatopoeia", but does not actually mention the "onomatopeia" spelling anywhere on the page, so I don't think it counts. Only https://www.yourdictionary.com/ and https://en.wiktionary.org/ include the spelling. That's 5 out of 7 dictionaries not recognizing it. --Crocogator987 (talk) 05:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Factual accuracy

message: "These paradoxes seem to suggest a similarity to the discovery in Greek philosophy that pure logic may lead to apparently absurd conclusions." I doubt that pure logic may in fact lead to apparently absurd conclusions (and not, say, logic combined with sophistical reasoning and word-play). Since "discover" is a success term, I take it that the sentence is incorrect. In any case, it's a confusing and unhelpful gloss on the occasional paradox-mongering that went on in some Ancient Greek thought.2601:47:4200:542:CAF7:33FF:FE77:D800 (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Eugène Viollet-le-Duc

message: A lot of the later sections read as if from a very defensive biography (perhaps lifted from an unknown source?). Viollet-le-Duc is to be respected for his impressive restoration attempts, as well as his success in raising the preservation of French architectural heritage to the public interest, but it's important to point out his love of "enhancing" existing historical buildings with picturesque but hardly accurate additions or modifications, Carcassonne in particular. I've added a small section to this effect; could someone with greater knowledge please expand? References would also be nice.... 134.173.192.188 (talk) 10:47, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Untitled 

message: The 'Restoration Work' paragraph contains the sentence Viollet-le-Duc, returning in 1835 from a study trip to Italy, was ordered by Prosper Merimée to restore the Romanesque abbey of Vézelay.

replies: text: Emblems are better unused than misused. Also, while I think "supported by" is unnecessary in any infobox, it's not really correct at all to say allies usually "directly fought alongside" the Plantagenets or Valois here. When?

replies: text: Honestly, I would recommend you focus less on infoboxes for the moment and gain more experience writing within the article bodies themselves—as I've said before, what an infobox should contain is much more clear when you're already written the article.

Talk:Sid Davis

message: The IMDb has a number of things wrong about Davis--he was *not* in Die Duve; he has many more films he produced which aren't listed; there are at least 3 Boys Beware, 3 Girls Beware, and 3 Dangerous Stranger, and Davis was *not* born in Hollywood.  Koyaanis Qatsi
:I'm trying to help the IMDb get their Sid Davis/Sidney Davis information sorted out.  Everything about "Sidney Davis" except Die Duve is really about "Sid Davis," though the trivia about his birthplace is incorrect.  The production comapny is called "Sid Davis Productions," and was also the distributor.  There is no "Sidney Davis Productions."  Koyaanis Qatsi 01:41 8 Jun 2003 (UTC)
::They just won't change some of the incorrect information they have.  I don't know why--they added the trivia for Age 13 and Gang Boy but don't believe that the films are in color.

I've corrected the distance from Novosibirsk. It's only 20 km between the center of Novosibirsk and Akademgorodok. Also the population number is not correct. 100 000 is the population of the Soviet district of Novosibrisk (in which Akadem is included), but the pop. of Akadem itself is only 50-60 thousand. --80.66.89.202 08:04, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Cardinal direction

message: This article suggests that the earth's magnetic polar field is aligned with its rotation. However, the Compass article states that geographical north ("true north") is aligned to rotation, while magnetic north can vary with geographic location, and that the magnetic poles shift over time.
Essentially it should be made clear in this article that the earth's magnetic field has nothing to do with rotation, and that there are several forms of "north", each in relation to either:
1) The geographical north pole
2) The relative position and movement of the sun and stars in the sky (which we have based (1) on), aka the earth's rotation
3) The earth's magnetism (which is what a magnetic compass uses, and which deviates from 1 and 2)

replies: text:  They are related to domestic dogs. They are derived from the "dog" lineage. They are either domestic dogs that went feral or split from the dog before they became fully domesticated. The relationship with domestic dogs is not disputed. The debate is about whether they should be consider feral domestic dogs, species in their own right, or some special status. —  Jts1882 | talk  09:23, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Support Jts. The dog split from the wolf 22,500 years ago in northern Siberia. At the close of the Late Pleistocene 11,700 years ago the dog lineage had split into 5 dog sub-lineages spread across Eurasia, with the New Guinea singing dog/dingo being one of those five. Its ancestor was alive and well in China 7,000 years ago. Therefore, it is a domestic dog. After crossing into Australia from New Guinea (which may have been joined together at that time due to low sea levels) some of them "went feral" in the central and western desert regions and others remained semi-domesticated in the eastern forests. 14.2.198.12 (talk) 08:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

The hexameter form of these speeches, is usually maintained in accepted translations of this work.

Unless a source can be provided I think "Raven" should be removed, or at the very least the page should be altered to say "renamed Raye or Raven Hino" since Raye isn't short for anything in the most well-known English adaptations (sans Viz's version of course).
