Hurdy gurdy

You're welcome! I found the article extremely helpful last year when I knew nothing about the instrument. I'll be glad to take a look at the newer version. —Malber (talk • contribs) 02:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Appreciate the confirmation regarding the editing direction taken. +Fenevad 22:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I just realized that I had forgotten to respond to your request. Here's the result:

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.^[?]
• Avoid including galleries in articles, as per Wikipedia:Galleries. Common solutions to this problem include moving the gallery to a separate page, like Gallery of Hurdy gurdy.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 17 cm, use 17 cm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 17 cm.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.^[?] Specifically, an example is 14 cm.
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.
• Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
  • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
• As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]^[?]
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, AZ _t 00:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

By the way, have you tried the alternative method? (That would help show if the mistake was in the calling of the JS, or if the output is just not being shown.) Thanks, AZ _t 00:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

GA noms

I'll add the templates, but I'm taking 6 or more months off from Wikipedia to study for PhD prelims. Moreover, the guy who used to ramrod WP:ETHNIC is also cutting back on WP for personal reasons. Your suer page says you're a linguist. If you know anyone who wants to ramrod WP:ENLANG (which I created), then tell them it's OK!

Origami linkspam

yeah, I've been watching this article for awhile. It's his website, i think that's why he keeps doing that; and I think he might have done it more times than that, he set up a user account (User:ricknordal) as well, and has done it at least twice from there.

Berber mythology

Hi, thanks for your interest in that article. I have just gave you the answers in the talk-page, i still have to give the citations for placed in the article. Can you put the template "fact" (citations needed) in all the doubted/unclear facts to give the needed citations/sources/explanations. The real problem is with the rest, because those facts are even desputed and speculative among the historians. I tried to avoid giving deciding conclusion, but i may have gave some of them. Onather point, should i give the citations in the article, or in the talk-page or in the HTML comments? Best regards! Read3r 14:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

By the way, i wrote also an article on Ancient Libya. It is really unmistaken for understanding the history of the Berbers including the their beliefs. It explains what Herodotus meant with the name "Libyan" and what "Libya" meant to the Greeks. Ancient Libya. I hope you improve it a bit, and give your comments on the references and content, you may find there the same problems, since i'm specialized in producing badly written wikipedia articles. Thanks in advance! Read3r 14:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

My mistake on spelling in the figure

For the HG article, the correct spelling of the G/C tuning (as shown in the range figure) is "Auvergnat", not "Auvernait". I spelled it wrong on our website (not corrected yet, sad to say), and I assume that's where you got it.

Eskimo shamanism

Dear User:Fenevad,

Thank You for Your notification and Your work. I shall read it carefully to-morrow (it is midnight now in Hungary).

The article (now: Shamanism among Eskimo peoples) was born during huge debates, thus some parts of the article are responses to the many concerns which the article got during the debates. Even the term itself "Eskimo shamanism" raises a twofold question. The article tried to contain its own justification.

I hope Yksin will say her opinion too, many parts of the article were triggered by her concerns, and she studied Yupiks more thoroughfully than me.

Do You speak Hungarian? Your name "Fenevad" means "beast" in Hungarian.

I have Diószegi's book at hand, so I can check it for sure. His name is really "Diószegi".

Best wishes,

Physis 23:09, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Great job

Very good job on the edit/rewrite of Shamanism among Eskimo peoples. Those portions you've worked on read much more smoothly & naturally now. --Yksin 23:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Physis' comments: yes, he/she (?) worked pretty hard to answer my concerns. I'm working quite a bit on Yup'ik, which will probably add some info to the shamanism article at some point, but only after I return from a two-week vaction I'm about to go on. --Yksin 23:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Dear Fenevad,

Sorry that I am not yet ready. I had a big programming job today. I shall do what You asked, as soon as possible.

First comparisons

Dear Fenevad,

Thank You for Your work for making the text more clear, and preserving the contents. I began to compare it to the earlier solutions.

Till now, I would suggest preserving the following linking solutions:

Old	Recent	Suggested	Motivation
Classically, some indigenous cultures of Siberia were described as having “shamans”	Classically, some indigenous cultures of Siberia were described as having shamans	Classically, the term was used for "shamans" of some Siberian cultures	Shamanism in Siberia formatted as "shaman' can be confusing, because there is a standalone shaman article.
Nuliayuk at Netsiliks	Nuliayuk among the #Netsilingmiut at Netsiliks	Nuliayuk among Netsiliks	Nuliayuk among Netsiliks is one indivisible concept: the specific Sea-Woman-concept of Netsiliks (suggesting that other Eskimo groups have more or less different Sea-Woman concept). Wikilinking only Netsiliks would be confusing, because there could be a standalone Netsilik article (although there is none yet).
Takanaluk-arnaluk in Aua's narration	Takanaluk-arnaluk in Aua's narration	Takanaluk-arnaluk in Aua's narration	"Takanaluk-arnaluk in Aua's narration" is one concept. It cannot linked only as "Aua's narration", beacause Aua's narration is a long material, Rasmussen recordeded a lot about Aua shaman. Although maybe it could linked as "Takanaluk-arnaluk", but I would like to emphasize that it is Aua's version, not a pan-Eskimo wide concept.

Thank You also for emphasizing the problems with the "Certain unity of Eskimo cultures" section. Really, I should like to rewrite it, emphasizing more that this is rather a certain relatedness together with diversity. I tried to write some of the motivations earlier in Talk:Shamanism among Eskimo peoples/Bidirectional approach to organize the beauty of tension between diversity versus unity of cultures.

Best wishes,

Congratulation also for learning Hungarian in two years. I learn one Eskimo language (Ungazik) since years (although not continuously) and I still have only very few knowledge. There are some similarities, e.g. possessive suffixes of the nouns, incorporating personal pronoun object into the verb, transitive vs intransitive conjugation of the verb etc.

Physis 11:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Netsilik section of Shamanism among Eskimo peoples

If I understand well Rasmussen's book about Netsilik Eskimos, I think Your work in the Netsilik section is good. Only two questions:

• You rewrote "[Sila was] a power that can move in people" to "[Sila was] a power moves in people". I do not have a profound knowledge on English language, but I think that the former is nearer to Rasmussens sentence (in the Hungarian translation), Rasmussen 1965, p. 106:

“ Vallási értelemben a Sila olyan erőt jelent, amely az emberekbe is beköltözhet ”

• You merged the Yupik tattoing part into Netsilik section: "Among the Netsiliks, tattooing provided power that could affect which world a woman goes to after her death. A similar belief was known about the Yupik.". I know nothing Yupik tattoing (and motivations behind them), thus I cannot prove that Yupik and Netsilik tattoings can be related so closely. Thus, I would leave the Yupik tattoing sentence in the Yupik section. Certainly, thus the Yupik section will be only a stub, but that is not a principial problem.

Thank You for the big work. I could make the above comparisons till now,

best wishes,

Physis 16:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hurdy Gurdy Illustration

The Hurdy Gurdy article was very helpful to me.

I am trying to trace the maker of my Hurdy Gurdy which looks like it was made by the same person who made the Gurdy shown in the illustration which you posted showing the parts of a Gurdy.

Do you have contact details or a name etc for this maker?

Regards and many thanks.

Ninera article

Fenevad, thank you very much for your words of encouragement. Slovak-style hurdy-gurdy is really rare kind of folk instrument (compared to fujara e.g.) in Slovakia today, but I'll try to find something more about it. Just please if I'll put something in wiki on this topic, check (and correct) my grammar there... ;-)

Articles in Hungarian

Hi!

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hungarian_language&diff=192078057&oldid=191853898

What I meant by "behaving like the indefinite article 'a(n)' in English" isn't that 'a(z)' is the indefinite article in Hungarian, of course, but that it behaves phonologically "like the indefinite article 'a(n)' in English". I hope it's clear now.

(I'm a native speaker of Hungarian, and from your name I'd guess you're one too, but just to make sure that we understand each other I write in English.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt Kovacs (talk • contribs) 12:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:16, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

John C. Heenan

My apologies for being quite ridiculously late with this, but, having done my two articles, one on Heenan, another on his great rival Tom Sayers, I left it at that. Only just picked up your request. Apologies again. I'll consult my talk page in future. (To be honest, I barely even knew I had such a thing.)

Sources on the Benicia Boy are scarce, I'm afraid. In my book, The Lion and the Eagle, everything I found is in my bibliography. As far as I can tell, there has never been a biography of Heenan worthy of the name, but there is valuable information in biographies of Tom Sayers and in books on the US prize ring (such as The Manly Art, which you know). The New York Clipper (which you mention), the Spirit of the Times, Porter's Spirit of the Times and The New York Herald all contain useful information.

My own book focuses on the 1860 fight between Heenan and Sayers. Chapter 2 is about Heenan's death and funeral, Chapter 4 about his early years, and Chapter 8 about his boxing career before he came to England. There is a good deal of information in other chapters also.

I hope this is of use to you, if you're still interested.

biggest stone

Hi, our vet took 4 of these stones in my dog's bladder. Could you tell me what kind of stone it is? Is it found from your dog? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.248.67.33 (talk) 22:11, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't have a way to respond directly to you unless you happen to look back here. It was from the dog (black lab/golden retriever mix) owned by a family member. I do not know the type of stone, unfortunately. The veterinarian who removed it said it was the largest, by far, that he'd ever seen. -Fenevad (talk) 14:18, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
