thread_title:  "To do" list 

message: I have defined the Tabi'i as the person who was born after the death of prophet Muhammad but who was also a contemporary of the Sahabah. I know there are other definitions but I think this is the most widely accepted definition among Muslims at least. I hope this is a good addition to the article.Marwan123 19:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  definition of Tabi'in 

message: I posed a question in Talk:Abd_al-Malik that impacts this article as well. Adapted from what I wrote there:
In the Tabi‘un article, Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan is listed under Negative view, although no reason is given. I quickly read through the wikilinked biographic article to find out why he's viewed negatively and I could not find any information. 
If I missed some obvious answer in the Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan article, I apologize; I'm a bit tired today. But otherwise I think there should be a section in one or both articles comparing and contrasting how he is viewed by Sunnis and Shias and possibly others, since he seems to be a significant figure. If we are talking about two different people with similar names and this article's Abd al-Malik is held in high esteem by most Islamic groups, that should be clarified in both articles AND the wikilink in the Tabi'un article should point to the correct person.

thread_title:  Globalize 

message: I have redirected this page to the page the material was originally broken out of, History of anatomy.  The text that was located here was part of a massive chunk of early 20th century encyclopedia text that was added in 2002 and has been largely untouched since then, although it has been split across articles on a number of occasions.  Based on this track record, I believe that this text, through its sheer volume, confusing-ness, and inapproachabillity, has been actively inhibiting progress on these articles, and I am redirecting accordingly.  Please discuss this change on Talk:History of anatomy.  Thanks, --RobthTalkCleanup? 18:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

message: "When preparing to pitch the ball, Abbott would rest a left-handed thrower's glove on the end of his right forearm."
I'll admit that this is confusing, but in fact, Abbott carried a right-handed thrower's glove on his right arm.  A right-handed thrower's glove is one that you put your left hand into, which is what Abbott did after releasing the pitch.  Abbott had to use his one good (left) hand for (1) throwing a pitch, then for (2) fielding a batted ball if indeed one was hit to him, and then (3) for throwing again after fielding.  It couldn't have been easy, but he did it.  So, basically he'd ask for a righthander's glove at the sporting goods shop, which makes him unique amongst historical southpaws.

:If this is a genuine request for "comments", then I have commented as well as I can. If it is a sneaky way of "building a case" against an Administrator who is just trying to do her (unpaid) job, then it is no more than Wikipedia:Gaming the system in a hypocritical bullying way.

message: "the diffs are not proper examples of trying and failing to resolve the dispute."
I've changed the diffs to the two posts from Neuroscientist, since his edits were the best from a technical errors view and also from a "no personal attacks" point of view. The "diffs to resolve dispute" should be considered in compliance with the RFC requirement. FuelWagon 19:45, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: They should? Well, they aren't. Please see my endorsement of SlimVirgin's summary. Now you do have comments from two editors instead of just one, but you still don't have any attempts at dispute resolution. That's perhaps not to be wondered at, since dispute resolution only fits when there's a genuine question of user conduct, and this RFC isn't that. It should have been an article RFC. Especially now that you've withdrawn the examples of "personal attacks" that SlimVirgin was supposed to have made (some of those actually made me laugh out loud), it's not in the least about user conduct. You would make yourself more respected if you withdrew the whole thing, you know. Bishonen | talk 01:26, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I'd consider that fairly self-evident; after all, I'm pointing to a FAQ saying the sequences you enter should be those that show up in your research.  OEIS is actually very inclusionist in practice, but some sequences are still so contrived that they get rejected and NJAS does try to discourage, on the FAQ and occasionally on the seqfan list, just submitting made up sequences definitions unless they are very good.  Being a researcher doesn't make one immune to temptation to make up sequences, so a pointer to the OEIS policy seemed worthwhile.  Although no longer active in research myself, I have in OEIS both sequences arising from published research (A079102-A079106), sequences from less formal or more recreational studies and other sequences arising from extensions of existing sequences or requests by NJAS or on seqfan.  (And even very contrived sequences can be of use in OEIS where they provide the solution to puzzles.) Joseph Myers 12:50, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I can only speak for myself, but I thought the way you pointed to that FAQ insinuated that User:Del arte and I sit around making up sequences just so our names can appear in the OEIS. I felt slightly offended by that. If I ever send in a sequence to the OEIS, you can be sure it will be something groundbreaking, like the sequence of odd perfect numbers. But even without direct effort on my part, I have been mentioned in the OEIS, by screen name. PrimeFan 21:16, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Ole Christian Kvarme

message: First of all it may not be correct to call him a very conservative theologian. Conservative indeed when compared to the liberals in the Church of Norway, but in most issues both central and in dispute within Nowegian Christendom he is a far from an extremist. Hence I would challange the description of him being a very conservative theologian, a description that would place him alongside fundamentalists in the Church of Norway.
It is correct that the Church of Norway does not have an archbishop, but it is not so that the bishop of Oslo is currently acting as the preses (primus inter pares) in the Church of Norway Bishops' Conference. The present preses is the bishop of Nidaros, bishop Finn.

thread_title: Untitled

message: Two editors have posted on my Talk page about this article, which I more or less stumbled into out of very passing interest for this field. (I'm not even a member of the Church of Norway, don't live in Norway, so I have very little personal interest in this). I'd like to see if we can get past the edit warring and would like to propose the following principles before it gets more combative:
* Kvarme's education, publications, appointments, etc., are all relevant for this article, without it being a CV. But they shouldn't be labeled as a CV. 
* If there was controversy around his appointment as bishop of Norway, the controversy should be properly sourced and cited. Especially if it touches on broader issues such as the separation between church and state, we have to do this scrupulously.
* I would like to avoid getting into the inner political workings of the church and its political leadership unless it's really relevant.

Talk:2005 Cheadle by-election

message: Any election information site will tell you that swing is the change in vote share between the top two parties in an election, be it Lab/Con, Lab/LD or Con/LD; or for that matter Plaid/LD or SNP/Con. Cheadle is not, and never has been, a safe Labour seat, so the concept of calculating swing between the Conservative and Labour votes in a seat like this is pointless. The seat has been won and fought between the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives, as such the discussion on swing must focus on the parties which feature in the genuine and valid fight for the seat, not including any third placed party, be they Labour or anyone else. 
Swing is not just for the main two; were it so, the calculations of by-elections in Northern Ireland would be meaningless, as would seats in the increasing number of Con/LD marginals. dok 15:44, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
