Talk:Moazzam Begg

message: Particular sections that concern me are Alleged contacts with extremists after release. It is reliably sourced that after Begg's release from Guantanamo, the Sunday Times and Daily Mail, possibly others, made claims of - a fairly marginal - association with a man who (two years after the association), attempted a terrorist bombing. Also sourced is that Begg conducted a video interview with an alleged al-Quada connected Imam, after that Imam's release from a Yemeni jail, however most journalists would probably jump at such an opportunity. Is including these two claims neutral or simply compounding 'guilt by association'?
Another section about which I am uncertain is Known and suspected contacts with extremists and suspected extremists. On the one hand I can see the value of listing these claims of association, since they form the core of why Begg was imprisoned and why he is known at all, and because it affords the opportunity to put Begg's rebuttals alongside the claims. However I would welome views as to whether this section needs amending. I have already done quite a few edits to take claims out of WP voice.Pincrete (talk) 23:07, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Numerous online sources (e.g. The Fallacy Files) suggest that loaded question and complex question are the same fallacy. Yet, Wikipedia has separate articles for each.

In particular, I think the 2nd paragraph uses abstruse, convoluted phrasing to make its points. It is too dense, and could do with fleshing out in plain English.

message: Actually if one were to reply "no" it could imply that wife beating never started (i.e. Question: "Have you stopped beating your wife?" ... Answer: "No. Because I never started")  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.77.50.194 (talk) 19:26, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the supposed presupposition is unclean, linguistically.  "To stop smoking" is idiomatic, and the idiomatic layer helps to tangle up stative and durative aspects of the verb to the point that the answers "no" and "yes" are not strict logical alternatives (the discourse agreement behind posing a legitimate yes/no question presupposes a logical semantics).  This magic trick only works with a dull audience, something that should be pointed out far more vigorously than is usually done.  It seems that our collective "it's a trap!" glee manages to dull the brain even further. — MaxEnt 11:33, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Tudhoe

message: I have been trying to sort out the name of this village from User talk:Solitude, User talk:JMHutson, User talk:129.234.4.10, and other sources. This OS map gives Tudhoe, as does the Gazetteer of British Place Names. But then there are ambiguous sources like Sedgefield Borough Council which has both, and quite a few Google matches for "Tudhoe Village". I wonder if the word "village" is added to locally to avoid confusion with nearby Tudhoe Grange. The question is whether this is universal and no one calls it Tudhoe except official-type people who produce maps but don't actually live there. I think ideally we should be using the official name. Any comments? — Trilobite (Talk) 21:29, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Historical background of the New Testament/Archive 4

message: In the interest of trying to lay out my opinions, I thought I'd try to quickly (although this may turn out to be not so quick) lay out my criticisms of both of the competing versions of the article.  I'll start with Slr's.
#I do feel as though it takes rather a while to get to the period of Jesus.  I'm not sure if this can be avoided, though - most of the information seems relatively salient.
You should know that some contributors, such as CheeseDream, feel that Jesus should not even be mentioned in this article.  Most contributors felt that it was okay to mention Jesus, but that the emphasis should be on the general historical and cultural context.  I was trying to accommotdate 
their views. Slrubenstein
:Well, it's fine to emphasize the context.  I just find it odd to write an article that is entirely context for another article, without even referencing the subject of that article other than in the introduction.  This is much more a problem in the other version of the article, though. john k 23:59, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comments on Slr's version 

message: I will now do for the latest version of FT2/Amgine's version of the article what I did for Slr's version.
#"For those who believe in his existence" is a terrible opening - "According to the Gospels" seems a lot more NPOV to me.
#Surely Christianity did arise in Roman Palestine - it was not merely alleged to do so.
#:Some think it arose in Rome, and was retroactively made to have originated in Jerusalem, particularly due to the apparant lack of any early christianity in Jerusalem or its surroundings (as would be expected), except perhaps for the Ebionites who were very different. Ive just noticed no-one has mentioned them in the article -maybe they have too much to do with the history of Christianity rather than Jesus.
#::I would agree that some discussion of the Ebionites would make sense.  At any rate, can you cite some historians/religious scholars who think that Christianity arose in Rome, and why people in Rome would choose to create a religion based on someone who is purportedly a Jew who was executed by the Romans in Palestine?
#::Christian tradition has it that the Christians were forcibly driven out of Jerusalem early on, which led to its early expansion. This might also explain the lack of evidence for early Christianity in Jerusalem. Wesley 04:01, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I had never heard of this book before I read this article.  It sounds fascinating.  I might borrow a ocpy from my library.  I was interested to learn that I had been born during an awakening referred to as the Consciousness Revolution.  I had never heard of the Consciousness Revolution, but that also sounds fascinating, so I clicked on the link and it lead me right back to this page!  That's vary annoying.  The book and the revolution are not the same thing.  It might be that this revolution is meintioned no where else except this book, but that is not made clear by this re-direct.  I don't know how to edit re-directs, but I think somebody ought to fix this.

thread_title: Sources

message: This article had a four-paragraph lead section until a few days ago. I'm not sure I understand the rationale for putting most of the lead in the new 'Summary' section. In most articles, the lead does the same work as this new summary section. What's the reason for the change? I also noticed that some of the recent changes have been removing information about the Marshall Islands' claim to Wake Island. While the U.S. has de facto control of Wake, the Marshalls' dispute over the island is well documented and shouldn't be minimised so that we ensure WP:NPOV and avoid pro-American bias in the article.
