Talk:Three Pashas

message: Bad English
The grammar used in this article is terrible. What the heck is "As much as these three men united, fractions existed in the party" supposed to mean? 
Without knowing what the author was trying to say, I can't improve this. Can someone provide some clues for me?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talk • contribs) 17:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I worked on the first paragraph (the only one with citations that weren't from a book I can't find or a dead link) but this is a terribly written, totally not NPOV article. To not mention the Armenian Genocide when discussing the 3 Pashas is a bit like writing about Japan's Hideki Tojo and failing to mention his role in WW2. Genocide deniers aside, without mentioning little facts like they were sentenced to death for "crimes against humanity" (while the term "genocide" hadn't been coined in 1915 I am still using it since the killing of 1.5 million ethnic anyone goes beyond the "it was war and accidents sometimes happen" argument) this article doesn't make sense. According to the original article the 3 Pashas both ran Ottoman Turkey and did not make any of the crucial choices that led to Turkey's downfall. It didn't even mention they were Young Turks, which seems bizarre. 
I have noticed in several articles here on Wiki concerning the Armenian Genocide there have been attempts to rewrite the articles as if it didn't happen, as if simply removing certain words somehow changes history. I do not know what Wiki's policy on Genocide deniers is, but since none of the articles on the Holocaust start with "there is some debate whether 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis" I wonder why it is permitted when Ottoman apologists make claims that say, basically, the Armenians had it coming to them? This seems, to me, to be a double standard Himeyuri (talk) 18:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Economic history of the Ottoman Empire

message: == Is "Fiscalism" the right word? ==
The word "Fiscalism" from my understanding of the word may not be the best way to describe the Ottoman economy. Fiscalism is a modern concept and it may be better to identify what aspects of the concept relate to the Ottoman economy. VeridianVermillion (talk) 17:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  This doesnt make sense. Anybody can explain it? 

message: While some of this article may be salvageable, most of it reads like a disorganized essay and doesn't cite sources. It fails to give the reader much of an overview of the topic, providing specific examples from a handful of sources without placing them into any sort of wider context. Its focus is overwhelmingly on the nineteenth century, and it almost entirely ignores earlier centuries. It makes numerous blanket statements about all of Ottoman history without providing any nuance about how the empire changed from period to period. Chamboz (talk) 17:00, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Enderun School

message: there is a college in the philippines [and i presume in other countries as well] called Enderun which specializes in Hotel/resto management and the like.
any information on that?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.213.193.8 (talk) 12:24, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The article in its current form is a characteristic example of neo-Islamic ideas popular in contemporary Turkey, exalting Ottoman official culture using anachronistic terms and demonstrating little sensitivity to other cultures. The fact that a religion is open to converts from all ethnic groups does not make forcible conversion equivalent to modern notions of multiculturalism. How can the modern term "multicultural" be used to describe the Enderun school, when its students were children of the Devshirme forcibly taken away from Christian families and raised to be Muslim? How can the insitution of Devshirme, hated by many of the empire's Christian subjects, be described as having had "a positive influence on the peace and harmony created in Ottoman States"? If a school in a Christian country abducted the children of Muslim families and raised them as Christian, would the authors of this article also portray that "as an early model of multiculturalism because students from different ethnic backgrounds were brought together and learned to live together under a common ideal"? If the authors are so keen on using the modern term "multiculturalism" anachronistically and inaccurately to describe the Devshirme, are they also aware that forcibly transferring children from one ethnic group to another is defined as an act of genocide according to the UN Genocide Convention? Finally, if I were to edit this article and write that the Enderun school was an early model of genocide, would I be banned from Wikipedia as a vandal? Probably so. Will the authors of this article be banned for writing such insensitive monstrosities? Probably not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.0.245.81 (talk) 16:45, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Ottoman Reform Edict of 1856

message: Although "Hatt-ı Humayun" is typically associated with the 1856 Imperial Reform Edict, it is actually a generic term that refers to any written imperial edict . For example the 1839 Hatt-i Sharif is also known as the "Gülhane Hatt-ı Humayun". This article should be renamed accordingly and a separate article on Ottoman imperial edicts needs to be created.--İnfoCan (talk) 14:40, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps you should wait for the contributors of the article to comment before making a unilateral decision.  Discuss first, then take action.  A pillow angel is not the same thing as the Ashley Treatment.  Although they share commonalities, someone wanting to know what a pillow angel is would not necessarily want to know what the The Ashley Treatment is.  Thanks for your willingness to discuss before further action. James Kidd 23:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I apologize for my hasty merge, but I had figured it was a forgone conclusion since at least 90% of this page was a copy of the information at The Ashley Treatment. If this page is to remain separate, I would strongly encourage you to make it more generic, and refer to the term as such rather than completely focusing on one person the term describes. I would remove the redundant information myself, but since that would only leave one line, I will leave the task of revising the article to someone else.

Talk:Pep band

message: Agree with the move, however the article is UScentric. Bands that play in pubs and bars and clubs and at sporting events in countries outside the US are not called pep-bands. Indeed, they are mostly reffered to by their genre.Shades1Of1Grey 08:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: Merging with Marching Band would incinuate that Pep bands are a subset of marching bands only, excluding concert bands from the mix. It makes more sense to leave it as a separate entity, and include information about a pep band, and possibly even link it to its counterparts in other countries.

message: There is much misinformation on you tube and probably elsewhere on the internet concerning this breath.  This, and all pranayamas should be learned in the presence of a qualified and experienced teacher.  All of the you tube entries I have seen on Ujjayi pranayama, are flawed.  For instance, the voice is not used during this breathing technique, yet many of the people demonstrating it are using their voices.  There should be complete ease during this breathing, yet there is clearly tension in the demonstrators necks and shoulders.  Please understand that the breath has great power, and these pranayama techniques should only be taught in person with the teacher and student having access to speak to each other. 70.134.212.202 (talk) 19:39, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: This article, besides giving several random vernacular names to ujjai (like ocean and cobra breath) seems to be expanding the definition of ujjai to three part breathing. There is no connection between three part breath and ujjai other that the fact they can be done together.

replies: text: Hi.  Please take a look at WP:BIO, which I assume is the guideline under which this was deleted.  The primary criteria is that "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person".

Talk:Supraorbital gland

message: I question the relevance of the image of a human skull, just to show the location of the supraorbital ridge (on a human).  If humans HAD a supraorbital gland, it might be useful, but as we don't, I find it distracting and confusing.  I believe the verbal description is sufficiently clear without the image.

thread_title:  External Links 

message: Living in saltwater environments poses a large problem for penguins because saltwater can be detrimental to a penguin's health.  Hmmm... Seems to me like the "problem" has been "solved" by the evolution of the supraorbital gland, hasn't it?  I submit that they DON'T have a problem, BECAUSE they have supraorbital glands! And anyway, isn't it just *ingesting* the saltwater that's hazardous?  Simply living in a saltwater environment isn't in and of itself injurious, is it?
As a result, saltwater enters their system and must be effectively excreted. To do so, the supraorbital gland has evolved in the penguin. As I understand it, the penguins who were able to filter the salt out of their system survived long enough to reproduce.  Isn't that how evolution goes?  There isn't someone out there saying, "Oops!  These kids need a salt filter, quick!!  Better invent a supraorbital gland!"

message: Is any thought being given to the creation of stabilised hybrids, to be used in an open-pollinated form?  Hybrid vigour is fine, but what about the long term?  Even a superficial glance at history makes it absolutely clear that there will be periods of war and instability, even periods of breakdown in the international system of commerce.  If seed is offered in a hybrid form, it must be produced - and, just as importantly, bought - every year.  This definitely takes control of a small farmer's destiny out of his own hands and makes it impossible for him to carry on further selection for his local conditions.  In an emergency, attempting to save seed will bring an immediate reversion to unsuitable parental forms.  If the issue is one of food security, would it not be wise to avoid this guaranteed long-term insecurity?

thread_title: Untitled

message: There are about 800 girls and young women from the three year olds in the Montessori to our graduating seniors enjoy the rigor of Sacred Heart education. As members of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, Carrollton finds their inspiration in the vision of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat and the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart education. Carrollton educates to an informed lively faith, critical thinking and service to others.
Carrollton has been divided into five independent learning communities or schools: Montessori, Primary, Intermediate, Junior High and High School while maintaining a cohesive curriculum and united community. Carrollton's two campuses offer ideal settings to students and teachers for their mutual enterprise of wondering, seeing, analyzing, debating, thinking, praying, challenging and dreaming.
Sacred Heart education is a formation for life. Knowing that life is filled with joy and with sorrow, with challenges and with blessings, what education will most effectively prepare students for the future? Carrollton thinks it is a life rooted in prayer and values. We are convinced that the quality of the future depends on the choices to be made by well-educated, thinking, confident people. Carrollton wants their students to become such leaders. Nothing short of excellence in their education will prepare them to assume such leadership.
Sacred Heart women are stamped with a certain kind of spirit; Carrollton alumnae are easily recognized. Sacred Heart women are strong and confident. One has to be educated in a rigorous, demanding way that focused on the intellect and the heart. Sacred Heart women understand how to learn. The strong intellectual base in our education provides us not only with confidence but real strength flowing from our deep faith.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.153.160.189 (talk) 00:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
