Talk:Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest

message: I thought the existing History section would function better as in intro (which the article didn't have) and so rewrote it, and also deleted the scoring summary table, which I think was unnecessary. D420182 06:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section changes 

message: I think that it would be good to have 2 more tables with voting history: 
"points for Norway in other coutries ranks"
"points from Norway in other countries ranks".
Why? We have countries that participated in ESC for 40+ years and other that started in recent years. Say Sweden had time to collect these 150 points over 50 years, but perhaps some other country profited more from Norway votes per year (and vice versa).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.222.87.41 (talk) 19:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

message: norway and nrk have a very special way of doing stuff when hosting and never uses the same city twice(bergen 1986, oslo 1996 and bærum 2010). next time it will likely be held in trondheim but, that is speculation. security in 2010 was handled by the city of bærum(named sandvika). please fix the article so that is says bergen, oslo and bærum and then semi protect it so that it can no longer be vandalised. 84.212.100.141 (talk) 12:33, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest

message: I have amended the entry at "Member station" in the infobox from NOS to NPO to reflect the current situation, though – the article being historical – there really ought to be an indication (perhaps by note) of the changing national membership of the EBU over time.

Talk:Shakespeare's Stage

message: This article was nominated for deletion 2 Feb, 2006.  The result of the discussion was that the content was unencyclopedic original research, but that the page should be retained as a redirect.  The two redirect recommendations were to Elizabethan theatre and Globe Theatre.  Since Elizabethan theater refers to an era in performance history, not to a specific theater, and not specifically to Shakespeare, I decided that the Globe Theatre (the latest incarnation of which is, in fact, named "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre"), where Shakespeare's plays were staged, was a more appropriate destination for the redirect.

Talk:Camera (disambiguation)

message: The origin of the word Camera comes from the Arabic word GAMARAH, meaning a book that reflects light. This was first invented by Hassan Al Basri a well known scientist in the islamic word. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 163.187.241.87 (talk • contribs) 8 Feb 2006.
: Very, very unlikely. "Camera" is a Latin word meaning "room", hence also the English "chamber". - Jmabel | Talk 20:50, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: From the page: "A camera can refer to a private council or action being undertaking by such a group." Really? News to me, if true. In camera can mean this (a Latin borrowing, translating roughly as "in chambers"). Does someone have a citation on this, because I doubt it. - Jmabel | Talk 21:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The entry seems to be relatively dictionary-related, so I added a link to Wiktionary on the page, as the Wiktionary entry for "camera" covers the use of it as an "assembly" or "meeting" (see the Italian section).

Talk:Keeping up with the Joneses

message: The article's claim that this phrase originated in a cartoon strip is clearly rubbish.

replies: text: The comic's significance got upgraded from "popularised" to "originated" a few years ago, I've taken it back down and moved it to the end of the origin's chronology. None of the cited sources seem to make the claim that the comic invented the phrase, they instead say things like the comic's title having "obvious resonance with the public".

He certainly is not afraid to speak his mind.

Talk:Nazim al-Qudsi

message: Though this is a well-written article and generally achieves the kind of thoroughness necessary for this subject, it lacks references.  Even if the sources are in Arabic, they should be listed so that those interested in this subject or its broader categories, such as the People's Party of Syria, the Syrian Republic, ect., may follow up on their own.  As it stands there are many instances where claims are made, such as the claim that the Hashemites funded the People's Party, which simply have no basis in the English language literature on the subject. Besides enabling researchers to do their own follow up, even lay readers may be able to see a source and decide if that source is indeed reliable or not.  Syrian history is a developing field in the West, and it should be treated with some care, as there are not that many experts who can refute inaccurate or misleading claims.

Talk:Nureddin al-Atassi

message: This article currently appears to suffer serve bias and a desire to white-wash the Assad government.
No evidence has been cited that Mr Atassi used his medical skills or equipment to attack or conduct warfare during the Algerian War.
It is debatable whether the cited New York Times obituary by itself is a reliable record of Mr Atassi's personal beliefs and motivation.
To me the word "deposed" suggests a gentle act, a request to step down from office which he voluntarily agreed with.
I suspect he was "arrested" during the coup by Assad who took the office of President for himself.
The article currently seems to down-play the fact that he was declared by Amnesty International (AI) to be a Prisoner of Conscience, and that he was not only arrested, but was held for the entire 22 years of imprisonment without trial. The several AI reports seem to allege that Mr Atassi and fifteen others were also not even charged with an offence when arrested or while imprisoned for the twenty two years.
For a English reader unfamiliar with Syrian history there is NOTHING in the current article to suggest that Mr Atassi or the Baath Party were socialists, Marxists, or left of centre.
Finally there is the issue of his name, the name for this article, appears to be in conflict with each of the cited English documents and the majority of English literature; it would appear that "Nour Atassi" would be the name most English readers would be searching for and expecting.
