thread_title: Merge [[Filipinos in Britain]] into [[British Filipino]]

message: The article asserts that the Filipino population in the UK is 150,000.  No source supporting that number is cited.  I was unable to confirm that number (or any number) at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/.  I checked http://www.joshuaproject.net/peoples.php, and the number given there is 77,000.  The 77,000 number seems reasonable, given that the British 2001 census put the number of "Other Asian" (other than Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, or Bangladeshi) at 247,403 (this number is from census data which I downloaded, but this can be seen approximately on the chart at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=1312).  I would have just changed the unsupported number of 150,000 to the 77,000 number which can be supported by citing the Joshua Project, but I wonder where the 150,000 number came from.  Was it just a guess, or is it supported by some uncited source which I haven't located? -- Boracay Bill 05:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I've added a citation of that source supporting the 150,000 figure to the article. -- Boracay Bill 00:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For future refrence the term Other Asian in the UK census means other South Asians (i.e. Sri Lankans, Maldivians etc), ethnic groups such as Filipinos, Vietnamese and Thai were included in the Chinese and other category (see Census 2001 Ethnic Codes) Stevvvv4444 11:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Population figure 

message: This 24 Sept Manila Times article s highlights this, speaking of a five/day birth rate for Filipino babies in the UK.  
The article also says "And since out of the total Filipino community in the UK of around 200,000 nearly 80,000 (by the Ambassador’s estimate) are nurses". This conflicts with this wikipedia article's figure of 150,000 for British Filipino (United Kingdom).  That figure is based on info from a Philippine Embassy UK website page which has been a moving target in the past. This page is currently located here, and currently says "There is a significant Filipino population in the United Kingdom. Over the past twenty years, the number of Filipinos living and working in the UK has increased by more than 833% from roughly 18,000 in 1986 to more than 150,000 in 2006. Of thin number, about 70% live in Greater London area."  (yes, it says "Of thin number")
I had thought to update this wikipedia article with info from the Manila Times piece, but decided not to.  I mention this here, providing sources, in case anyone else is motivated to do an update. -- Boracay Bill 00:22, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This template is not necessarily obsolete. There is not a clear consensus that articles cannot have these illustrations, in fact it's rather the other way round. ++Lar: t/c 12:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed on the latter issue, but it's irrelevant.  This template is obsolete, and very badly malformed.  It implies that the articles on whose talk pages it appear are within the assessment purview of the project, which is simply not the case.  This isn't that kind of WikiProject at all (contrast :WP:BIO).  This template has been completely surpassed by Template:WikiWorld, and its disposition has nothing at all to do with whether WP articles themselves should have links directly to the cartoons, which is dealt with by Template:Illustrated Wikipedia, the fate of which is not connected to this particular template, which no longer serves any purpose. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 00:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Isnag people

message: The Isnag woman shown in the photo does not represent authentic image of true Isnag, the skirt or tapis known as "aken" she wore was the skirt of kalinga women  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.32.155 (talk) 08:12, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I began an effort to cleanup of this page on January 15, 2015, until which the page contained the following subheading:
: Correction Isnag refers to the people and the Tribe. Isneg refers to the dialect of the Isnag.
The text in the subheading was unsourced, but nobody seems to have contradicted it, and it seems to follow the grammar logic common to Austronesian languages. And it makes, it seems to me, an important grammatical assertion. So for the purposes of the current cleanup/rewrite, I shall try to follow its lead. I am, however, not a native speaker of the Isneg language, so it's entirely possible I'm being mislead.  So any comments are welcome here, and I hope anyone with more authoritative knowledge of the culture and the language will correct it themselves.  If you DO want to change something in the text but don't have the time to learn to edit wikipedia pages, do leave a comment here and I'll try to make the edit for you as soon as I become aware of your comment. Like I said, I am not an expert and am simply trying to rewrite the page to make it more readable and to add some citations. If I made/make any errors in the process, please know that I intended no disrespect, please accept my apologies, and let's try to make the corrections necessary. Thank you. - Alternativity (talk) 19:46, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Kyle of Lochalsh railway station

message: My personal memory is that the Stornaway ferry used to go from Kyle of Localsh and not Ullapool. I think it switched mid-seventies. I don't think I ever saw the Stornaway ferry at Kyle, but we went to Lewis mid-seventies - IIRC it was 1976 - and went from Ullapool. We had to catch a bus to Ullapool from I don't remember where - I guess Inverness. This was a new change at the time - I think it might have happened the year before. I remember thinking it sad that you had to get a bus.
Thus the line was a more important link than being implied.

Talk:Anacharsis

message: The article quotes 'a modern scholar' as considering the French fictional account of Anacharsis "the encyclopedia of the new cult of the antique", but it does not say who said it.
That quote seems to have come from this page: http://www.whoosh.org/issue56/rich1.html which attributes the remark to "Klemperer". Among the persons of any note with that last name, the most likely is Victor Klemperer.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tripsitinka (talk • contribs) 13:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Attribution of quote 

message: Herodotus says nothing about the Scythians killing him because they were "patriarchal".  There is nothing there in any way related to gender.  It pretty strongly implies that they didn't like Cybele because she was foreign.  That would also correspond with the way the classical Greeks in general, and Herodotus in particular, saw the Scythians.

thread_title:  "patriarchal" 

message: I've twice now had to restore the statement in this page that the letters of Anacharsis are fictitious. Since the page also states that the letters probably date from the 3rd century BC - this is, I know, a fairly obvious and banale point to make, but I'm baffled why anyone would want to delete it. I originally thought that User:LycianFelix first removed the line perhaps because it might be a bit redundant, but the second time he/she removed it the reason was "Improper Citation," which I don't understand. It may be that I've made a mistake in the wording, so I'm sure we can come up with a compromise reading which everyone will be happy with. Singinglemon (talk) 19:36, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Cryolite

message: The cryolite does not lower the melting point of aluminium oxides. However, the aluminium oxide can be dissolved in molten cryolite at around 900°C. This frees the ions of the aluminium oxide, allowing the positive aluminium ions to collect at the cathode(s), and the negative oxygen ions to collect at the anode(s). It essentially gives the same effect as if the aluminium oxides were in a molten state.

Talk:Aesara

message: we should absolutely discuss the work "on human nature" on this page, as it is frequently attributed to Aesara, but the current state of this page is absolutely too enthusiastic about doing so - almost all pythagorean literature is generally considered pseudynomous, and this work is attributed to Aresas in the editio princeps of Stobaeus, not Aesara, so definitively ascribing it to her is irresponsible.
At some point I wonder if we shouldn't deprecate Waithe as a source - I appreciate what she was trying to do but she is an amateur historian with a background in philosophy, who uses motivated reasoning to come to here preferred conclusions and so will misrepresent scholarly consensus and simply ignore anything that challenges the ascription of any work to a woman. Her conclusions shouldn't be stated in wikivoice, and we should corroborate them and any who directly cite them with the work of other sources with some familiarity in the field.  - car chasm (talk) 02:31, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
