Which automobile manufacturers are being used by an average Bangladeshi? Honda? Toyota? Mazda? Nissan? MErcedes-Benz? BMW? Jaguar? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.116.24 ( talk) 00:23, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
No, I didn't ask if they own Indian cars. I meant to say that which automobile do they drive because I see they drive different cars that not seen in North America and the only time I have seen these cars in Bangladesh is when I watch Bangladeshi dramas and/or movies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.53.201 ( talk) 15:05, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
In a correlational study, why is it incorrect for a researcher to write about one variable producing changes in a second variable? What language would be preferable, in a research report? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joetrivium ( talk • contribs) 04:50, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, in part. The language to reflect conclusions is the main interest of mine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joetrivium ( talk • contribs) 05:26, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
According to Gampaha, a Pradeshiya Sabha is a " divisional council" in Sri Lanka, but there is nothing in Wikipedia about divisional councils, although this could be - or not be - related to Divisional Secretariats of Sri Lanka. I found the place in many places on the web, but I could find no definition. I found the word "pradeshiya" here in the Tamil translation of "divisional secretariats", but the following word is not "sabha", so I can guess there are probably divisional councils related to divisional secretariats, but I find it surprising that I can find no authoritative answer on the web. I didn't find relevant interwikis and I have no easy way of searching online or paper dictionaries for the moment. Apokrif ( talk) 10:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Is Frankenstein first science fiction literature? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lit Scholar ( talk • contribs) 13:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
hello,
a friend argued that 'rednecks', the song by Randy Newman, is a reverse parody. Does a reverse parody exist, and if it does, what is it?
thank you, Whambarfoddbadseed

A rather civil discussion at this article involves the first few sentences in the lead - that is, its definition ( Talk:Nationalism#Disputable_definition). I'd like to see some good dictionaries' and encyclopedias' definitions there, rather than individual scholars' takes, preserving those in a subsequent dedicated section. Thoughts please.

This should not be discussed on the reference desk. It should be discussed on the talk page. Please take it there.' DJ Clayworth ( talk) 21:51, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Jayron32 seems to be describing the practice of nationalism, rather than its meaning. I would offer "Nationalism is the elevation of the nation(-state) above other possible contenders for loyalty, such as religion, class or community." DOR (HK) ( talk) 01:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
