Talk:Zafarnama (letter)

message: if some people are led to believe that the article is not true than please spare us your biased and unproductive thoughts. you were not invited to express your views on Sikhs. i don,t understand from where did you get this canon story. persons like you refuse to see and accept the facts written by the great Guru himself and rely on malicious writings written by hostile minds some hundered years later.if you know history of sikhs than you would also know the great battle of Bhangani. Sikhs decisively defeated a coalition of 22 hill chiefs yet they did not take even an inch of their land.if Sikhs were considered revolts by mughals than think over this. Muslim rulers called the inhabitants of india infidels and treated them like dogs.hindus were subjected to great cruelties and all kinds of humiliations.Aurangzeb passed a law through which all non-believers were to be converted to islam ,he allowed the use of force if people resisted.there was great carnage to hindu life and property.if the khalsa rose and blocked the progress of this policy,that was the defeat of  tyranny. at that time there was greater harmony between subjects of empire such as muslims,hindus,sikhs and various other communities.the fight of sikhs was againest tyranny of rulers. i will end this with a line from a great muslim sufi poet
 'ALLAH YAAR KHAN JOGI' "na baat kahoon ab ki, na baat kahoon tab ki. na hote guru gobind singh, toh sunnat hoti sab ki"
(neither will i talk of present, nor of the past.
but if there was no guru gobind singh,than everyone would have been circumcised)

thread_title:  mistaken views and clogged thinking! 

message: A lot of references used by fundamentalist Sikhs simply distort history better than any other religion. These fundamentalists even change their faith to suit their historical failures and change their history to suit their faith, its a common trademark among Fundamentalist Sikhs.
I think an article of Sikh Fundamentalism would be a good addition to this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.3.37 (talk) 09:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Articles like this are total rubbish

message: The Persian pronunciation is listed as zafarnameh which is modern Iranian Persian. Mughal Persian was an Eastern Dialect (like Dari and Tajik) not an Iranian dialect, so a final he would be -a not -eh. Mughal Persian was also a classical dialect so it had vowel length (unlike modern Iranian Persian) so the transliteration should be zafarnāma not zafarnameh.

Talk:Iron law of wages/OldVersionTalk

message: I have reverted an edit  which purports to show that Ricardo adhered to the Iron law of wages.  The text quoted from Principles of Political Economy and Taxation espouses a theory other than the Iron Law of Wages.  Please compare what the Iron Law of Wages states, and what the quoted text state.  At the very best, deriving one from the other is Original Research.  However, my reading of Ricardo is that he believed that the distribution of income between various classes was determined in part by government policy -- which is quite contrary to the Iron Law of Wages.  --BostonMA 21:14, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Merged Lake Hali

message: I found an uncategorized article called "Lake of Hali" and changed it to a redirect. It contained very little information that could be merged into the article, so I have chosen not to include a page history. One sentence in the Lake of Hali article (contributed by an anon user) contained info I can't substantiate. What is John Tynes' Hastur Mythos?
The Lake was later referred to in the works of H.P. Lovecraft, and developed more extensively in John Tynes's Hastur Mythos.

thread_title: Merged Lake of Hali

message: "In some reference materials it is implied that the extraterrestrial lake Hali is not in fact composed of water, but of a gas such as air rendered semi-liquid due to the low temperature of its world (or for more inexplicable reasons).  August Derleth's system of elemental attributions for the entities of the Mythos associates Hastur, the inhabitant of Hali, with the element of Air, and this "lake of vapor" may be an attempt to establish the connection."
This section seems to imply that Robert W. Chambers described the Lake of Hali in order to conform to August Derleth's theories regarding the Mythos and the four elements. But since Chambers wrote the story 14 years before Derleth's birth, and then was fortunate enough to die about 25 years before Derleth could start theorizing about him, this seems unlikely. The contributor may have meant that Derleth claimed this connection somewhere, but since there is no citation to work from and since the paragraph has already set off the OR detector of at least one other editor, I'm removing it. If Derleth claimed this, then quote him. 173.58.37.123 (talk) 21:33, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Is it necissary to write 'ass' as '@$$'? It looks extremely unprofessional. -Priester
I agree, within the context of a "hillbilly" play on words, it is not profane. It is the informal name of a body part rather than a crude insult. Anyone who can figure out that "@$$" means "ass" has seen the word enough to know what it is and how it is spelled. They are capable of determininng whether or when it appropriate to say. You could use "a--" to be more in keeping potential obscenity laws. I'm not sure whether Wikipedia is bound by them. It is an adult term used on an adult program, even though nearly all gradeschool children have heard it and know what it means. Changed "@$$" to "a--".

message: Shouldn't the article mention skydiving?
I'm no expert on this A/C, but it's my impression that today the vast majority of these aircrafts, are used for skydiving. Also mentioning some of the caracteristics that make it ideal for skydiving seems relevant - something like large rate of climb, as well as ability to descent extremely steeply without overspeeding. It's not my area, and I have no sources, but it seems like "common knowledge" among skydivers, so I guess sources must exist. 206.205.184.2 (talk) 04:08, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I've been looking into Smart Cakrawala Aviation Company based in Indonesia (just doing some due diligence ahead of a potential business enquiry) and their contact said they use the PC-6.  The company isn't listed under Indonesian civil operators and probably should be; their facebook page shows several photos and video of PC-6s in their livery being flown by their pilots.  However. I'm not sure of correct referencing procedure or whether they lease the aircraft from someone else or how that might affect the rules for them being listed as an operator.  It may be that the whole list needs updating.
