Talk:Banyumasan dialect

Banyumasan as a language (debate)
Banyumasan language is a mere dialect of the Javanese language. Furthermore the number of its speakers is far too high. There are some 80 millions speakers of Javanese, so roughly 1/3 of them are supposed to be Banyumasan speakers.

And what do you mean by the phrase: The Banyumasan language is the oldest version of Javanese language or the original Javanese language. Banyumasan language is just a modern variant of the Javanese language, such as the Surakartan or Yogyakartan language is.

It is not an official language either.

The Sanskrit language is not the mother of this language, the Kawi language is neither a mother of it. Kawi language is a literary variant of Old Javanese which is heavily influenced by Sanskrit, an Indo-European language. Furthermore, where are your sources? Please cite your sources! Meursault2004 09:13, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Dear Meursault20004,

Thanks for your comments. Im sorry about the number of Banyumasan speakers, You're right it's far too high, I do wrong on calculating the number, it's only ± 12 - 15 millions. They are ± 10 millions in western part of central Java and adding with ± 2 - 5 millions from other places mostly arround Jakarta.

Some experts said that Banyumasan language still using many original words and terms of Kawi such as : Rika (meaning You in English), Inyong (meaning I/me) etc, and those words is still in use untill now, but those Kawi words never used in Javanese. Maybe I'm wrong with the phrase of "oldest version" or "original version", but I disagree if Banyumasan language only a modern variant or dialect of Javanese language, the reasons are there's a lot of evidences that most of original Banyumasan words and terms are found in Kawi but never found in Javanese. Other reason : Javanese have changed the letter of "a" in the end of word, with letter "o" and it never happened in Banyumasan language, thats mean, Banyumasan language still using the original phonetic of Kawi language. I'll tell you the others reason next time.

I agree if someone said : Banyumasan language and Modern Javanese language is coming from Old Javanese language. But I disagree if someone said : Banyumasan language is a mere dialect of Modern Javanese language.

It is not an official language either. -Yes, you were right, I make a mistake.-

And sorry about the terms of "mother language", I'll correcting that soon.

Dear Meursault20004, Thanks any way for your attantion, I'd like to discuss many things concerning this Language especially regarding the cultures, attitude, personality etc of Banyumaser that influencing their languange. I hope you can understand with my "bad" english.

 * I don't think that I am being too controversial in removing the assertion that Banyumasan is descended from Sanskrit. It is an obvious error. If however Banyumasan has had significant borrowing from Sanskrit that should be mentioned. As far as I know it doesn't. I think this page should probably describe Banyumasan as a dialect of Javanese rather than an individual language, but the debate as to what constitutes a dialect is usually politically charged, so I am not personally willing to make that call.Conrad Leviston 04:45, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * You were right, Banyumasan language is not descended from Sanskrit but enriched by Sanskrit and Kawi. I have correcting that. But I disagree if Banyumasan Language only a dialect of Modern Javanese Language. Banyumasan Language is directly descended from Old Javanese Languange.

Banyumasan as a dialect
Regardless of personal opinion most authoritative sources class Banyumasan as a dialect. It is totally inappropriate for wikipedia not to mention this fact. Conrad Leviston 23:40, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Some reaction
Dear 202.155.21.194 (and also Conrad Leviston), thank you for your reaction. I would also apologise myself for my English as I am not a native speaker of English.

Dialect
From linguistic point of view one of the main factors to call some speech a dialect instead of language is mutual intelligibility with other variants of the same language. Well speakers of both Banyumasan speech and standard Javanese language can mutually understand each other. So it doesn't have to be politically charged. For example, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are mutually intelligible, so they are dialects of each other from linguistic point of view.

All descendants of the Old Javanese language are called modern Javanese. So they can be regarded as 'children' of the Old Javanese language. The so called modern Javanese is not only the speech of Surakarta and Yogyakarta, but of all variants of Javanese from Banten to Banyuwangi and beyond.

To complicate the situation, the Old Javanese language was far from homogenous. There are several variants or dialects. The language of the Old Javanese Kakawin Ramayana, which came from Central Java from the 9th century AD/CE for example, is different from more or less contemporary inscriptions from Eastern Java. Yet they are all called Old Javanese.

Archaism
Furthermore, back to Banyumasan speech again, for it is true that the Banyumasan speech retains some Kawi or Sanskrit words that are not found in spoken variant of the standard Javanese language, it is only part of the story. Other variants of the Javanese language retain other words, so in the end they are all equally archaic or modern. What can be said is however that some dialects are indeed more archaic than other ones. But this only applies in certain fields. In certain fields or domains, the Banyumasan speech is more archaic, but in some other fields again, not.

Phonology
The same can be also be said of the phonology. It is not true that an /a/ is always pronounced as an [ɔ] by speakers of standard Javanese. Only in open positions they are to be pronounced as such. In close positions, they are still to be pronounced as [a]. For example /lara/ is to be pronounced as [lɔrɔ]. But /larané/ is to be pronounced as [larané]. Then I think some variants of the Banyumasan speech do not retain the so called retroflex phonemes, but I am not sure. These are merged with the dental phonemes into alveolair ones. Furthermore there are other sound shifts as well. For example, Old Javanese ingwang has become inyong. So the /ŋ/ has become /ɲ/ while /wa/ has become /o/.

Number of speakers
I suspect you have also included speakers of others Western Javanese dialects as well.

Banyumasan language is not the same as Western Javanese
Dear Slamet Serayu, the Banyumasan language is not the same as the Western Javanese language. It is rather part of this language group. Yes other western Javanese languages such as Banten Javanese and Indramayu/Cirebon Javanese are related to Banyumasan language, but they have different histories. Furthermore it is not a variant of Old Javanese. It is a variant of Modern Javanese. I bet modern Banyumasan speakers can't read and comprehend the 9th century Kakawin Ramayana for example. Meursault2004 08:41, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank's, now I know that. I didn't mean to make them identic historically, I just make a simple grouping. It's rather difficult to put Banten and Cirebon dialects in the same group with Yogyakartan/Surakartan.
 * Well, after all above discussions, it's no matter if Banyumasan language still part of Javanese language, my goal is just to utter to the public that there is an existing language named Banyumasan. So if experts saying or writing about Javanese language they don't forget to mention Banyumasan language too. Why I need to tell this ? Lately, Banyumasan culturist such as Ahmad Tohari, Enthus Susmono, M. Koderi etc oftenly said that they very worry about the fate of Banyumasan culture including Banyumasan language. So, we all need to do something to lift up this culture / language so that in the next time we will never seen them only in historical books.
 * Dear Meursault, if you don't mind, try to use search engine such as google or others and type "banyumasan punah". Punah means : extinct. Actually, I'm not from that region, but my wife yes. As the outsider I can see that extinction tendencies clearly and I have told this in my proposal (new language proposal to Wikipedia). If what I've done resulting a controversial or even totally breaking the rules of language science, please pardon me but on the otherhand, please help me.
 * Dear Meursault, thanks for corrections you have made. slametserayu@yahoo.com.

Preserving accuracy with my edits
Hi everyone. I'm doing some edits for clarity and english grammar (I'm a native english speaker), but I don't know much of anything about linguistics or the languages of that region, so please review my work for accuracy. Thanks. Bubamara 17:17, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Some questions:
 * re: genetic classification - I re-ordered to make Javanese language a subgroup of Sundic language instead of vice versa. With this discussion of Banyumasan as a dialect or sister branch of Javanese, is "Sundic >> Javanese >> Banyumasan" proper, or should it be "Sundic >> Banyumasan?
 * Is North Banten a city in Banten Province? Or is it just the northern region of the Province?  Or is it a totally seperate area?

Mostly, I compacted the format and merged redundant information. Bubamara 18:58, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Well most linguists consider the Banyumas dialect as a Javanese dialect and not as a sister language of Javanese. This is also my main objection of this article. Furthermore the Western Javanese language group is not the same as Banyumasan language. North Banten is a region in Banten province where Javanese is spoken. The variety of Javanese spoken there, Banten-Javanese is not a variety of Banyumasan language, albeit it is related. Meursault2004 07:48, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Speaking of accuracy, I added the {accuracy} tag to the page, since the info is inconsistent at best. Even though there seems to be clear agreement from everyone on this page that Banyumasan is a dialect, not a "language" per se, the content of the article doesn't adequately reflect that. I'm going to wait a week or so for new info to be added, then I'll mercilessly edit for language, consistency and, hopefully, accuracy. Bubamara 09:10, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Swadesh list
A table highlighting the differences between 'Standard'-Javanese and Banyumasan language is provided. Besides the fact that some Banyumasan words also occur in Standard Javanese as synonyms, I am afraid this table doesn't say anything. Have you ever heard of Swadesh list? Although a bit controversial in some circles, this so called Swadesh list can provide relevant information about relationships between languages. Meursault2004 20:56, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Dear Meursault, all I've writen including that table, shouldn't assumed that Banyumasan and standard Javanese is completly / absolutly different, that they're totaly separated or that I have intention to separating them. As I wrote before, my main goal is to gain sufficiently space to raise up Banyumasan (characteristic, culture, arts, language etc) so that they wouldn't vanished sooner. Banyumasan is yes as part of Javanese in the whole aspects, it mean Banyumasan is yes a subsidiary of Javanese. But in fact, both have a lot of differences and moreover if we put standard Javanese in the central, Banyumasan is in the farthest side. All Javanese agree that if Banyumasan language is laughable even laughingstock. Please read below, I knew you're Indonesian and sorry for the Others.

We can't simply put Banyumasan spoken in the midle of standard Javanese because they'll laughing and none of Banyumasan will do it. We also can't just put Banyumasan writing in there, they don't automatically understood, they need times. I'm not a linguist, culturist or other experts, I'm even not originally Banyumasan, I'm from west Borneo, but I have chance to do something (good in my mind) and it's free (I'm not richman), so I did it, it's simple. Not only for Banyumasan, I'll do it for the others. Dear Meursault, as a matter of fact, I need supporters and I'm hopeful of your helps in order to gain space here in Wikipedia for Banyumasan. To Bubmara thank for your attantions and supports I appreciated it, and sorry for my english.

too much general material about Javanese
This article has a lot of general information about Javanese that should be merged into that article (if not there already). Here we should just cover distinctive features of Banyumas dialect. -- Danny Yee 04:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Move
Should this be moved to Banyumasan (Javanese dialect)? It is classified a dialect and in Indonesian is even called Bahasa Jawa Banyumasan (Banyumasan Javanese). Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:45, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:List of phobias/Archive 1

Is this a joke?

 * Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, Sesquipedalophobia - Fear of long words.
 * Oh, come on, this is amazingly ironic. DryGrain 21:59, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * Wikiphobia — definitely looks like a joke. I put it in italics. — RJH 17:35, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

You can leave "usually" in there if you want. As seen on Talk:Homophobia, I asked a psychiatrist (my neighbor and good friend), who says agoraphobia is the only "phobia" he has ever encountered in some 30 years of practice, working in the inner city, suburbs, jails, prisons. He specifically says that homophobia is "a newspaper term". If psychologists have a checklist for homophobia, it should probably be mentioned in the homophobia article, but keep in mind that psychologists are not medical doctors. Ortolan88

 * Yes, the term is used more often by psychologists than by psychiatrists, but a quick search for homophobia on MEDLINE suggests that it is used in both contexts. --Eloquence

I think there's a difference between phobias that are rarely encountered in a clinical context (arachnophobia) and "phobias" that are not encountered in a clinical context (transphobia, europhobia, xenophobia, homophobia) - so I preferred the three lists to the two lists, personally... -Martin

I believe it is our responsibility to draw some distinctions and provide knowledge and education. One list does not do it. It is not correct that agoraphobia, ailurophobia, and homophobia belong in one list.
 * Agoraphobia is a debilitating mental condition that can ruin a life. It is treated with drugs, carefully administered, combined with lengthy therapy and supervision.  Its impact and treatment are in the same category as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
 * Ailurophobia means that you alter your behavior to avoid cats. Likewise with other fears, fire, water, making right turns (I saw such on a documentary last night), etc. Such phobias cause inconvenience, sometimes drastic, but will rarely, if ever, result in medical attention.  Such phobias might call for behavioral therapy (not by a psychiatrist, probably by a psychologist or psychotherapist), but can also be treated by avoiding the conditions that trigger it.
 * Homophobia and xenophobia are deep-seated prejudices that may have interesting causes, but however despicable one may find them, they simply are not medical conditions. Has anyone ever sought treatment for them? Or have others "diagnosed" them and stigmatized them, including perhaps forcing "treatment" (re-education, brainwashing) of some kind?

I don't like heights. Even in a cartoon on TV they make me tremble. My wife (a psychotherapist, btw) can't stand snakes. But those fears are miles away from either agoraphobia, on the one hand, or homophobia on the other. Ortolan88

As far as I can see, there are three kinds of "phobias" listed here: There are also plenty others, which would be better described as aversions, and probably should not be listed here. Zocky
 * 1) Overgrown natural fears (height, dark, enclosure, snakes...)
 * 2) Reactions to traumatic experiences
 * 3) Disgust and hence fear caused by prejudice (I think that homophobia in any but newspaper context, should denote the panic and fear of touching that some straight people feel when in presence of gay people, not gay-bashing and biggotry).

 * Fourth kind of phobia, agoraphobia, an actual mental illness, unlike virtually all the others in this list. Ortolan88

 * I have missed the whole discussion about homophobia, so I may be wrong. But isn't categorizing phobias something altogether different from just listing all the nouns containing the suffix -phobia? Are we/you talking about linguistics or psychology/psychiatry/etc. here? --KF 18:36 Dec 28, 2002 (UTC)

A list of words ending in -phobia would be useless and misleading, and a very poor encyclopedia article. See the silly web page http://www.phobialist.com for a myriad of examples of words ending in -phobia, unmarred by thought, knowledge or even interest. If linguistics, psychology, psychiatry, or politics have something to contribute to the discussion, they should be allowed to contribute.Ortolan88

 * I agree of course that the phobialist you are referring to is absolutely pointless. From a purely linguistic point of view, however, people who waste their time coining words no one needs and listing them alphabetically are doing something rather interesting: They use language productively. The booklet Word Formation (Collins Cobuild English Guides No.2) (1991) (ISBN 0003705218) is full of examples of prefixes and suffixes that can be used to create neologisms.

 * Anyway, I'm not going to interfere here -- otherwise I might develop Ortolanophobia, and your neighbour would certainly refuse to treat me. :-) KF 19:39 Dec 28, 2002 (UTC)

He's in the other room right now. Shall I get him? He's an Ortolanophile, so far as I know. Ortolan88

FYI: the 25-odd phobia stubs just created are listed on Votes for deletion. -- Tim Starling

Hi, can someone please amend the gloss on "cardiophobia". It is not "fear of the heart" but "fear of heart disease". Many thanks Dieter Simon 00:24 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)

 * Ok, who protected this page without explaining it on protected page, this talk page, the page history, or anywhere? *grr*
 * It's unprotected now. Edit at will. Martin 00:36 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Pull the other one, it's got bells on! Encyclopediphobia? Can someone tell us where they found this one, it's not in any of the search engines I've looked at. Fear of encyclopdias or going round in a circle, may be? Or just ramblin? --Dieter Simon 00:20 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I took out the links to non-existent articles on phobias because they seem to be a newbie magnet for useless stubs that consist of nothing more than the short definition already here. (I left the links to articles that already exist, of course, and think it will be trivial for someone writing a real phobia article to link it here after the fact.) - Hephaestos 19:21 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

 * It is appreciated, Hephaestos, many thanks Dieter Simon 21:43 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Although never trivial I have removed article created "after the fact". --Dieter Simon 23:08 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Distinguishing types of phobia
Maybe someone with a text-book could go through and make the "more-genuine" phobias appear in bold to distinguish them from the crowd. --Phil 13:03, Feb 5, 2004 (UTC)

 * No, don't bold, italicise, perhaps. Dysprosia 22:00, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Actually I think that italic would be better used to mark the "less-genuine". Just a gut feeling. --Phil | Talk 10:32, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)

Dentophobia
The list currently defines dentophobia as "fear of dentists". Shouldn't that be "fear of teeth"? -- Schnee 20:37, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Carbophobia
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/17/magazine/17EATING.html

 * Carbophobia, the most recent in the centurylong series of food fads to wash over the American table, seems to have finally crested, though not before sweeping away entire bakeries and pasta companies in its path, panicking potato breeders into redesigning the spud, crumbling whole doughnut empires and, at least to my way of thinking, ruining an untold number of meals.

-- Toytoy 09:50, Oct 17, 2004 (UTC)

can we please...
can we please divide this list up into phobias acknowledged by the medical community and phobias invented by word-smiths? Kingturtle 06:55, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Wiktionary?
IMO 99% doesn't go beyond dicdef. I suggest to keep only items with wikiarticles, the rest must go to wiktionary. Not to say that this article became a playground for SillyDefinitionPhilia (sorry, I don't know how to say this in Greek). Mikkalai 21:45, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Does this one seem a little more rational then the others?
Nucleomituphobia - Fear of nuclear weapons.

I mean, who isn't? They make big explosions! Why would you not be scared of them?

--- So what? --Theaterfreak64 23:05, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC) P.S. That opinion could be argued against.

Alternative list
I just cut the below text from the Phobia article; a long list with many red links unlikely to ever be filled in with a dictionary definition, if they even warrent that. I'm moving it here for reference in case it has anything valid that should be added to this article. -- Infrogmation 18:38, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Merge?
I'm not sure why somebody applied a merge template to this page when it was previously split off from the Phobia page some time in the past. I went ahead and removed the merge templates from this page and the Phobia page. If this is disputed, perhaps a consensus can be reached first? — RJH 20:04, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * See Votes for deletion/Afrophobia. The lists on -phobia and Phobia got out of sync, and having them on a single place would make it easier to cleanup the cruft. That's probably why it was put up for merging. Spliting up the list would IMHO be just as good. --cesarb 23:56, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Support obviously. Irbisgreif (talk) 20:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose From his general behaviour in the wikipedia the user Irbisgreif is apparently trying to turn the wikipedia into a dictionary and make it list all the suffixes or something. This is probably very misguided, the wikipedia has never had large numbers of affixes, and most of those that it has had have been deleted by many users over many years. By way of contrast the number of affixes in the wiktionary is essentially complete, there are many hundreds of articles there. IMO any attempt to add them here is probably a waste of everybody's time, including the users. Wiktionary has an explicit policy that they are entirely acceptable there, and wikipedia is not a dictionary. The wikipedia has a naming policy that article names should consist of nouns and verbs, rather than word parts.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 22:46, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose The title is perfectly fine the way it is. It is just that: a list of phobias. Plus there's a hatnote that leads to the main article on the subject. This move is unnecessary and an article starting with a dash will be misleading and probably harder to find if one is looking for a "list of phobias". -- œ ™ 23:30, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Oppose I agree there is nothing wrong with "List of phobias". Even though you might browse for -phobia the search will redirect automatically to "List of...". Surely it is what the reader searches for that counts, after all that's what we Wikipedians are doing this for. There is also, as the link indicates, an article phobia for any elucidations what exactly phobias are. All seems to be taken care of. Dieter Simon (talk) 00:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Per Naming conventions, non-alphanumeric characters should be avoided, especially as the first character of a page name. More importantly, pages dedicated principally to the definition and dictionary-like explanation of suffixes are frequently brought up at AfD. Names that draw attention to word form, rather than conceptual meaning, invite such deletion. Cnilep (talk) 19:06, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Automatonophobia
Automatonophobia has a article, but it's not on this list. Can someone add it?--JayGirl (talk) 03:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Could we add...
At least in the fictional section, two phobias which I believe to be widespread due to the enormously popular Doctor Who series: Parumanurectophobia, fear of small lines on your arms (due to the lines that the characters draw when they have seen a Silence... I know I'd be terrified if I saw one of those lines); and Fletusangelophobia, fear of the Weeping Angels. Yes I made the first one up, so i really doubt it will actually be added, but I ask anyways because if you don't... the answer is always No. 71.203.170.181 (talk) 14:31, 28 January 2012 (UTC)Maoman

Very un-encyclopaedic at the moment.

There is almost no end to the list of phobias
I think there should be a limit set to a list such as this. There isn't a thing or a concept someone is not in fear of. If you can think of a million things or ideas you will have someone being afraid of them. In other words the list is virtually infinite. I think it is a bit of a game with the editors who keep adding new examples, but this is an encyclopaedia and a few examples to give a taste what it is about should suffice. I really think we should vote on it and agree on a limit to it. Dieter Simon (talk) 00:56, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It is normal in wikipedia to have lists of articles. We have, e.g., List of French people, which of course does not include list of all millions of French live and dead, only the notable ones, ie., the ones which may have a wikipedia article.

Removal of List of celebrities and their phobias
I very much agree with Muskadderat for having reverted this list. It would have been risky to let it remain. Firstly, any list of phobias is rather subjective in that it is often fraught with difficulties to describe some phobias. Secondly, to tie this list to individuals - celebrities or others - is downright risky since most phobias are connected with psychiatric problems, and unless you can substantiate them and can be pretty certain of your sources you are entering dangerous territory. It is almost like quoting medical reports of these individuals, and anyone would be laying himself open to false information charges. Dieter Simon (talk) 22:25, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Do you really have a phobia? I really doubt you have an "irrational" or "disabling" fear of peanut butter. Does the sight alone of peanut butter make you cringe? That would count as "disabling." Are you obsessed with thought that the peanut butter might jump out of the jar and smear itself on the roof of your mouth? That would be "irrational". I ate some popcorn a few months ago and had a piece stuck in my teeth for a couple of days despite repeated brushing/flossing. I'm wary of eating popcorn now, but it's not a phobia. While I probably won't get popcorn stuck in my teeth for that long again, having some stuck in my teeth for a short time is pretty likely if I eat it. Wanting to avoid that unpleasant situation is pretty rational. Getting some peanut butter stuck on the roof of one's mouth is a fairly likely consequence of eating peanut butter. You might find the sensation less tolerable than most people, but that doesn't make it a phobia.Plantdrew (talk) 01:50, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
Should we give hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia its own page because almost all the others have their own pages execpt hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. It has a redirect, but could be improved, instead of going to list of phobias page. Walk200 (talk) 22:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is a invented word and is necessary to be deleted for stop the confusion. In Spanish Wikipedia (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia) was deleted many times and the people who think that this word exist, give references to English Wikipedia. And more arguments: is completely ridiculous that the people who has this disorder can't pronounce the name of his own disorder!. Please, delete it. --Kuronokoneko (talk) 23:47, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I do see your point that the word is an invented word. The trouble is we no longer know who invented it, but everybody repeats it, and it is in so many the dictionaries. If you revert it, a moment later it wil reappear in the list.

 * No, the real problem is, this whole list is an open list with its infinite possibilities. And unless you police it very strictly, it will run away with additions. Personally the word Hippo... with its various spellings has probably outrun all exclusion zones and has thus acquired a legitimate reason to be here. So many reference works include it, it would be a pity that we in Wikipedia should be the only ones to withhold it from our readers and searchers. Dieter Simon (talk) 01:20, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I would say that if we don't know who invented it, but it is repeatedly used to such an extent that it's in dictionaries, I don't see how it can be dismissed as a nonce-word or otherwise not a legitimate word. At least, not on that basis.  Many, many words -- telecommunications, trans-Canadian, xenomorph, ansible, psychosomatic, facehugger -- are invented words, and are validated by an accepted definition and usage (not just common usage).  Validity doesn't rest on reference to a real-world phenomenon, either, as xenomorph, ansible, and facehugger demonstrate.  The most that can be done with this term's inclusion is to remove it from the section of clinically diagnosed phobias -- a justifiable move, absent a reliable source that anyone, anywhere, has actually been diagnosed with this condition -- and place it elsewhere on the list.
 * And, incidentally, I don't even have this condition (if anything, I have the -philia) and I'm wary of trying to pronounce it; is it so surprising that people terrified of big words would be unable to?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.107.160.101 (talk) 19:31, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 64.254.164.163, 5 October 2010
Chorophobia redirects to the "List of phobias", so I believe that it is redundant to have the word in the list be a link (as a link in the article redirecting the user to the same article seems silly. I think there's a word for that kind of self-referent redirect, but I cannot recall it). Several other phobias, such as Traumatophobia and Somniphobia, link to an article that is only a sentence or two long, and that contains a very brief description of the phobia, often not much longer than the snippet next to the word on the list. It seems to me that the word Chorophobia should either not remain a link, or it should link to a (stub) article so as to conform to the format that seems to be standard. Also, I did not check every single phobia link on the list to see if there are any other redundant redirects like the above, but I have not yet seen any. If there are any more, then they should probably also follow whatever rule is established for Chorophobia. Sorry that I'm just an IP right now, but I lost both my Wiki password and access to the account the password gets emailed to, and I just haven't gotten around to making a new account. :)64.254.164.163 (talk) 20:12, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

The table of phobias on page 55 lists various phobias and their definitons (eg. "Pyrophobia: (fear of) Fire"). The table defines "Trypophobia:Geometrical Objects". Since Tolin is a clinical psychologist who is also Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine, Tolin's view that Trypophobia, (the fear of geometrical objects) is a genuine phobia (and not just a "meme") deserves consideration. 176.61.93.235 (talk) 01:51, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

phobopbobia
I think that Phobophobia should be here: it is fear of fear. And if anyone thinks that it has no reference outside of this post, then look up "We have nothing to fear except fear itself". So it is not just trivia, but is the most crucial of all posssible fears. And it is quite real. On another point, I did see a reference (in an encyclopedia not to hand at the moment) of a fear of oboes. Anyone throw any light on that? Myles325a (talk) 11:23, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Well actually you are not quite correct. Many phobic people actually fear the fear that they are feeling because they have an irrational feeling that their heart might stop or they may suffocate by being unable to breath or they may have a heart attack. So fearing the fear is a pre-situational feeling that some phobics get when they know they have to face whatever causes them anxiety.

Well your definition of this phobia is more than ambiguous. Is it the fear of dead extraterrestrial life or the fear of extraterrestrial and death combined into one? No matter, I will do my best to answer your question. There is a fear of foreigners and strangers, I do believe extraterrestrial life counts as both foreign and strange, called xenophobia. As for the death part of your question, the fear of death is necrophobia. I found no reliable and credible source to support your question. If it were to become a real word, perhaps it would go by necroxenophobia. 21:43, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

 * The article lists anatidaephobia under Jocular and fictional phobias. This is the appropriate place for it to be listed because the source of the information is Gary Larson's The Far Side cartoon.  If you have a reliable, published source to show that anatidaephobia is recognissed as a serious phobia and is therefore eligible for one of the other headings in the article, and you are willing to cite that reliable, published source you are free to move anatidaephobia out of Jocular and fictional phobias into the most appropriate heading.  Dolphin  ( t ) 14:12, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Phobias of specific animals (especially those that might behave aggressively towards a child) are pretty likely to "real", but they might not be common enough to show up in any reliable sources. I was frightened by a goose as a child (but I didn't develop a phobia from the experience). A couple things:
 * Larson's definition is a joke and is intentionally overly specific. There's nothing in "Anatidae" about ducks watching you. The other Far Side phobia's "slipo" prefix is not actually Greek (or even English) for "being pursued around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor"
 * "Anatidae-" isn't the best prefix for a duck phobia. Anatidae is the whole family (ducks, swans and geese) A better Latin prefixed word specifically referring to ducks might be anati-phobia. However, most of the "real" phobias use a Greek prefix. If you're looking for a duck phobia in a reliable source (especially one written prior to the Far Side cartoon), it would be worth searching for nessaphobia or nettaphobia.
 * If your friend is "distressed" by ducks, he might have a phobia, but it seems a lot of people who are posting their self-diagnosed phobias on the talk page don't actually experience a "irrational" and "disabling" reaction to the object of their fear. Getting bit by a duck (or a dog) as a child and subsequently crossing the street rather than passing one on the sidewalk is certainly an over-reaction, but it is not necessarily a phobia. Experiencing physical (heart palpitations, cold sweat, etc.) or emotional distress is "disabling".

Fear of sugar?
Still having trouble finding the dividing line between a phobia and a normal anxiety.

I had chicken pox and either measles or mumps together at age five. My godmother, bless her heart, to make me feel better, bought me some pink flavoured sweet popcorn. I ate it. And because I had the two diseases, I vomited. It was the most traumatic experience in my life to that time, and I have never gotten over it. I see pink sweet things (popcorn, pink iced donuts, other pink coloured desserts; but not pink yoghurt, perhaps because it is not sweet) on a table and I feel instantly and strongly nauseated. I have to leave the table. In fact even writing this paragraph here makes me feel slightly unwell.

So. Is this a phobia (because it seems an over-reaction), or a normal anxiety (because of how it happened), or some other name? 58.165.216.125 (talk) 08:15, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

what exactly is the purpose of this page
Why are we accumulating such an absurd, useless, artificial and futile list of nonsense. The list is in theory endless. The main criterion for inclusion seems to be if someone else has used the word before. What purpose does this page serve apart from a troll magnet?

Secondly, there might all ready be a fear of everything, it might go by something like panaphobia or omniphobia, as pan is greek for everything and omni, latin.
 * Now to address the second commenter: You should make a new posting for your post. To answer your question, though, they listed them under 'Prejudice' because the writers assumed that the people affected with those disorders are malicious. Now, what the writers did may be deemed by some as assumptive. The people may have a fear that is not discriminatively induced.

São Cristóvão

São Cristóvão (, Saint Christopher) is a Brazilian municipality in the Northeastern state of Sergipe. Founded at the mouth of the Vaza-Barris River on January 1, 1590, the municipality is the fourth oldest settlement in Brazil. São Cristóvão is noted for its historic city square, São Francisco Square, and numerous early colonial-period buildings. The 3 ha site was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.

São Cristóvão covers 437 km2, making it the third largest settlement in the state of Sergipe behind Aracaju and Nossa Senhora do Socorro. Its population is 91,093 (est. 2020) and has a population density of 196.43 per km2 (508.8/sq mi). São Cristóvão is home to the Federal University of Sergipe, which was established in 1968.

History

São Cristóvão was established by the Portuguese (in a time when Portugal, Spain and the Naples kingdoms were under the rule of Philip II of Spain) as one of the first colonization attempts in Sergipe, which makes the city the fourth oldest one in Brazil. In 1590 the Portuguese sent Cristóvão de Barros to both subjugate the region to colonial rule and establish a safe trading port between Salvador and Pernambuco. De Barros quickly and violently defeated the local population, which consisted of people of mixed Tupinambá and French heritage who maintained a trade in Brazilwood. As a symbol of his victory De Barros founded a small village named for his patron saint, Saint Christopher. The first Catholic parish in Sergipe was subsequently established in São Cristóvão in 1608. The Parish Church of Our Lady of Victory of São Cristóvão (Igreja Nossa Senhora das Vitórias de São Cristóvão) was built as the parish church; it remained the only parish in Sergipe until the late 17th century.

The development of the town followed the Portuguese urban model, that is, in two plans: the higher town, where the headquarters of the civil and religious powers are; and lower town, with the harbour, the factories, and the low income population. The economy of São Cristóvão initially depended on the establishment of cattle herds for meat, milk, and leather. The settlement was completely destroyed by the Dutch in 1637. Tobacco and sugarcane plantations were established in the 17th century, and remained into the modern period.

São Cristóvão was the capital of the Province of Sergipe from the time of the Independence of Brazil in 1822.

The provincial president Inácio Joaquim Barbosa transferred the capital of Sergipe from São Cristóvão to coastal Aracaju in 1855. São Cristóvão was seen as outdated, too far from the coast, and unable to expand to meet the needs of a growing state. The transfer was a "traumatic process" for the residents of São Cristóvão, many of whom left to live in Aracaju. São Cristóvão fell into slow decay, with numerous buildings left empty or even abandoned.

20th century
The importance of São Cristóvão as a historic and cultural center of Sergipe was recognized early in the 20th century. The National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN, originally SPHAN) was established in 1937 and undertook a great survey of colonial-period architecture in Brazil. The survey included numerous sites in São Cristóvão, which were designated federal monuments as early as 1943.

In 1967, the city was designated a national monument to preserve its colonial architecture, and it is now home to ten national heritage sites of Brazil. Among the important sacred buildings are the Church and Convent of Santa Cruz (also known as the Church and Convent of São Francisco, which date from 1693), the Misericórdia Hospital and Church (Santa Casa de Misericordia, the 17th-century Sisters of Mercy hospital), the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception of Mary (1751), the Parish Church of Our Lady of Victory (1608) and several other important churches from the 18th century, including the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of Black Men, the Church of Our Lady of Protection, and the Church and Convent of Mount Carmel. Ten national or state heritage sites are located in or near the city center; two, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Conception of Engenho Poxim and the Church of Our Lady of Nazareth of Engenho Itaperoá, are abandoned and on sugarcane plantations far from the city center.

The religious sites of São Cristóvão remain an important center of Roman Catholic pilgrimage in Brazil. The Museum of Sacred Art of the Church and Convent of São Francisco is considered the third most important in Brazil.

São Francisco Square
São Francisco Square (Praça São Francisco) is an open space surrounded by colonial-period buildings such as the São Francisco Church and convent, the Church and Santa Casa da Misericórdia, the Provincial Palace and other buildings from later periods. The complex is a well-preserved example of typical Franciscan architecture of north-eastern Brazil. On August 1, 2010 the site, which covers 3 ha, was selected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is managed by a regional office of the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN) and the municipal government.

Kalpi

Kalpi is a historical city and municipal board in Jalaun district in Uttar Pradesh, India. It is on the right bank of the Yamuna. Once Kalpi was more important Than Orai It is situated 78 kilometres south-west of Kanpur from which it is connected by both road and rail.

History
The ancient name of Kalpi was Kalapriya.

Paleolithic
Lithics and fauna from the Middle Paleolithic of Kalpi have been described, aged at around 45,000 ka. These tools consist of diminutive quartzite choppers, possible manuports, cores, atypical points, scrapers, and debitage; bone tools include end-scrapers, points, notched tools, burins, and atypical end scrapers in greater abundance than their stone counterparts. They exhibit evidence of charring, suggesting fire usage.

Medieval
In 1196, it fell to Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the viceroy of Mohammed Ghori, and during the subsequent Muslim period it played a significant part in the history of central India. In the early 16th-century Rajput king of Chittor Rana Sanga defeated Ibrahim Lodhi twice and establish his control over some parts of Uttar Pradesh including Kalpi and Chandawar and appointed Manik Chand Chauhan to rule there. Rana Sanga also died in Kalpi in January 1528 poisoned by his own Nobles. The city was then captured by the Mughals under Babur. During Akbar's reign, Kalpi was a governor's seat and had a mint for copper coinage. The witty Raja Birbal of Akbar's court is considered to be born near this city. About the middle of the 18th century the city was lost by the Mughals and it passed into the hands of the Marathas.

Modern
The town was captured by the British in 1803, and after 1806 remained in British possession until India's independence in 1947. Kalpi was a part of Bundelkhand Agency, formed in 1811, and also housed its headquarters from 1818 to 1824. During this period the political agent to Governor General of India was appointed and headquartered in Kalpi. The British East India Company made it one of their principal stations for providing "commercial investment". In May 1858 Hugh Rose (Lord Strathnairn) defeated here a force of Indian rebels led by the Rani of Jhansi. The fortified post of Kalpi, the former residence of the rulers of Jalaun State, was dismantled in 1860 by the British and its place was taken by a market known as Whiteganj. Tourist sites include Vyas temple, Lanka Meenar, 84 Gumbaj and many Dargah like Dargah of Meer Syed Mohammad Tirmizi, and Sufi Khanqah colled Khanqahe Muhammadia, Kalpi is also the birthplace of Ved Vyas ji. There is a Kali Haveli and Rang Mahal of Beerbal named Rang Mahal.

Kalpi is located at 26.12°N, 79.73°W. It has an average elevation of 112 metres (367 feet).The climate in Kalpi is warm and temperate. The rainfall in Kalpi is significant, with precipitation even during the driest month. The temperature averages 25.9 °C. The average annual rainfall is 892 mm.

Location
The old town, which is on the Yamuna river has the ruin of a fort, and several temples of interest, while in the neighborhood are many ancient tombs. Away from the river to the south-east is a lofty modern town ornamented with representations of the battles of the Ramayana.

The Gaud Sarasawath Brahmin (GSB) community who are followers of Kashi Math Samsathan Varanasi has set up a temple of Shri Bala Veda Vyasa in memory of the great sage Veda Vyasa. In 1998 Sudhindra Thirtha, the swami of Kashi Math Samsthan, envisioned setting this temple right at the birthplace of Veda Vyasa. It is also a tourist attraction.

Economy
Kalpi is still a centre of local trade (principally in grain, ghee and cotton) with a station on the North Central Railway (India) line from Jhansi to Kanpur, which crosses the Yamuna here. In late 1970s and early 1980s, Kalpi was one of the areas in central India affected by dacoits, and was frequented by the much dreaded Phoolan Devi gang. It has been declared an industrial belt by the Government of India and handmade paper is produced there.

Ole Beich

Ole Beich (January 1, 1955 – October 16, 1991) was a Danish musician best known as the bass guitarist for the original lineups of L.A. Guns and Guns N' Roses.

Early life
Born in the city of Esbjerg, Beich, in his youth, achieved a degree of fame amongst local musicians and fans. He played guitar with several Danish bands, and recorded an album in 1979 with a band called Rock Nalle & The Flames. He was also a member of Mercyful Fate for a brief time, before deciding to move to Los Angeles in pursuit of a career in music.

L.A. Guns (1983–1985)
L.A. Guns were first formed in 1983 by guitarist Tracii Guns and drummer Rob Gardner. The first lineup included Guns, Beich, Gardner and singer Michael Jagosz. The band recorded an EP Collector's Edition No. 1. Shortly after, Jagosz left the band following an arrest involving a bar fight and was replaced by Bill Bailey (who would later change his name to Axl Rose). Bailey had previously fronted Rapidfire with Kevin Lawrence and Hollywood Rose with Izzy Stradlin and Chris Weber. Jagosz came back after Rose left playing with the band for 2 weeks and for 5 shows.

When L.A. Guns was reformed in 1985, Beich was replaced by Mick Cripps.

Guns N' Roses (1985)
Hollywood Rose reformed for a New Year's Eve show on New Year's Eve 1984, with Rose, Stradlin, Guns, Gardner and Steve Darrow. In March 1985 L.A. Guns merged with Hollywood Rose, changing their name to Guns N' Roses (combining the names of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose) with the lineup composed of Rose, Guns, Stradlin, Beich and Gardner.

After only two rehearsals, Beich was fired from the band. He was replaced by Duff McKagan. Tracii Guns left the group; he was replaced by Slash. McKagan went on to book shows taking place between Sacramento and Seattle, which was dubbed “The Hell Tour“. During this time, Gardner quit the group and was replaced by Steven Adler. Rose, Stradlin, McKagan, Slash, and Adler became known as the "classic lineup" of Guns N' Roses.

Death
Beich died on October 16, 1991, drowning in Sankt Jørgens Lake in the center of Copenhagen. Not long before, on August 19, Guns N' Roses had performed in the city. His family believed that he became depressed after leaving Guns N' Roses in 1985 and was heavily abusing drugs before returning to Denmark in 1988. Heroin, and a blood alcohol content of .148, are thought to have contributed to his drowning, but his family still believes it was suicide.

Beich is buried in Esbjerg next to his father Aksel, who died in 1995.

Century High School (Rochester, Minnesota)

Century High School is a public high school located in Rochester, Minnesota, United States. It is a member of Independent School District #535 with more than 1,600 students. More than 80 languages are spoken in ISD 535. Century High School is one of three public high schools in Rochester. The school mascot is the Panther, and school colors are navy blue and silver. The most recent major ranking of Century High School - conducted by U.S. News & World Report - gave Century a "Silver" designation based on U.S. News ranking criteria, and placed it in the Top 1000 schools nationwide.

History
The property was purchased from the Cassidy family in 1996, whose family had owned that property for 105 years. The school's name was selected after a contentious process that began with a citizen's committee of 80 people who started with 204 names. After a five-hour meeting they settled on two possible names, Eleanor Roosevelt and Century. Century referred to the Cassidy farm which had been in the same family for over 100 years. Eleanor Roosevelt is a former first lady who was in the news in 1996 after remarks by Hillary Clinton. The two names were forwarded to the School Board for the final decision. Rochester was still a conservative community with many citizens not interested in selecting a liberal figure. An informal poll by the local newspaper showed a 2 to 1 preference for Century. After a forty-minute debate by the School Board, the members voted 4 to 3 for Century, citing a poll by elementary and junior-high students that showed a clear preference for that name. The students also selected the school's mascot, colors, and fight song. The construction of the school was supported by a voter-approved bond of $37.3 million.

The school was completed and opened in 1997 as a school for 9th and 10th grade students. 11th and 12th grade students were included in subsequent years. Students ate in the forum until 1998 when construction of the school cafeteria was completed. The cafeteria was later expanded in order to meet the growing student population's needs.

Sports
Century sports teams include adapted floor hockey, alpine skiing, baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country running, dance, football, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling. Century also sponsors bowling, rowing, figure skating, and trap shooting.

The Century boys golf team won the state title in 2001. The Century baseball team won the Class AAA state baseball championship in 2003. Century is also known for its National Volleyball Center, which features 11 volleyball courts and a mezzanine.

Cracked Actor

Cracked Actor (or full title, Cracked Actor: A Film About David Bowie) is a 1975 television documentary film about the musician David Bowie, made by Alan Yentob for the BBC's Omnibus strand. It was first shown on BBC1 on 26 January 1975.

It was filmed in 1974 when Bowie was struggling with cocaine addiction, and the documentary has become notable for showing his mental state during this period.

Content
The documentary depicts Bowie on tour in Los Angeles, using a mixture of documentary sequences filmed in limousines and hotels, and concert footage. Most of the concert footage was taken from a show at the Los Angeles Universal Amphitheatre on 2 September 1974. There were also excerpts from D. A. Pennebaker's concert film Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which had been shot at London's Hammersmith Odeon on 3 July 1973, as well as a few other performances from the tour. Cracked Actor is notable for being a source for footage of Bowie's ambitious Diamond Dogs Tour.

Production
The title of the documentary was originally to be The Collector, after a comment that Bowie had made to interviewer Russell Harty the previous year, whereby he described himself as "a collector of accents". Yentob and his team were given the task of documenting Bowie's famous Diamond Dogs tour, which was already underway when they started filming. Locations for the documentary mainly centred on Hollywood and Los Angeles, but there was also concert footage taken from Philadelphia. A number of performances from the tour were shown, including the songs "Space Oddity", "Cracked Actor", "Sweet Thing/Candidate", "Moonage Daydream", "The Width of a Circle", "Aladdin Sane", "Time", "Diamond Dogs" and "John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)".

Legacy
The tour and film coincided with a prolific time in Bowie's recording and acting career. During the summer of 1974, Bowie started recording at Sigma Studios Philadelphia for what became the Young Americans LP. After seeing an advanced screening of the film, director Nicolas Roeg immediately contacted Bowie to discuss The Man Who Fell to Earth. Photos from Bowie in the US in 1974 on tour and recording, of which some sequences can be seen in Cracked Actor, have been used elsewhere, including the cover of David Live and inserts for the Rykodisc and anniversary booklets for the CD pressings of the LPs that include "Young Americans". Biographer Nicholas Pegg calls Cracked Actor "arguably the finest documentary made about David Bowie," while Paul Trynka considers it one of the greatest music documentaries ever made.

In 1987, while working on his album Never Let Me Down, Bowie reflected in an interview about his state of mind during the time the film was made: "I was so blocked ... so stoned ... It's quite a casualty case, isn't it. I'm amazed I came out of that period, honest. When I see that now I cannot believe I survived it. I was so close to really throwing myself away physically, completely."

In 2013, Alan Yentob said of the film: "I'd caught him at what was an intensely creative time, but it was also physically and emotionally gruelling. Our encounters tended to take place in hotel rooms in the early hours of the morning or in snatched conversations in the back of limousines. He was fragile and exhausted but also prepared to open up and talk in a way he had never really done before."

A BBC article published in 2023 described the airing of the documentary as one of Bowie's "key career moments".

Commercial status
The documentary remains officially unreleased, though there are bootleg video copies circulating as a result of the programme being shown again by the BBC in the early 1990s and more recently in 2007, 2008, and 2013.

Rainald Goetz

Rainald Maria Goetz (born 24 May 1954, in Munich) is a German author, playwright and essayist.

Biography
After studying History and Medicine in Munich and earning a degree (PhD and M.D) in each, he soon concentrated on his writing.

His first published works, especially his novel Irre ("Insane"), published in 1983, made him a cult author of the intellectual left. To the delight of his fans and the dismay of some critics, he mixed neo-expressionist writing with social realism in the vein of Alfred Döblin and the fast pace of British pop writers such as Julie Burchill. During a televised literary event in 1983, Goetz slit his own forehead with a razor blade and let the blood run down his face until he finished reading.

Goetz has the reputation of an enthusiastic observer of media and pop culture. He has embraced avant-garde  philosophers such as Foucault and Luhmann as well as the DJs of the techno movement, especially Sven Väth.

He kept a blog in 1998–99 called Abfall für alle ("rubbish for everybody"), which was later published as a book.

Goetz has won numerous literary awards.
