message: I didn't see many Neutrality problems to begin with but I did some minor editing to erase what could have been a problem. Should we remove the tag? Ageofe 19:37, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are no neutrality concerns, as far as I can see. The article does not identify the Albazinians as modern-day Cossacks, although they are mentioned in the Cossack-related referenced books as such. I don't really care about the category and template, but it may be worth pointing out that neither the category nor template is supposed to list only modern-day Cossacks. Their purpose is to bring together a range of Cossack-related topics. There is no doubt that this article qualifies as Cossack-related. --Ghirla-трёп- 19:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Seconded. Currently the :category:Cossacks contains quite various topics related to Cossacks. e.g., shashka. Categories are navigation tools, to quickly browse a topic. When the number of articles in a category becomes too large, some enthusiasts may spawn subcategpries, such as :category:Military organization of Cossacks or :category:Cossack people or smth. else. `'Míkka 18:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Minuth

message: Hi. If this is the only article on minim, then it certainly needs to be updated to cover current understandings of minim in rabbinic literature. Plus, the prayer (etc) against minim. However, minuth is a later offshoot of minim. Minuth does come to refer to heresy, but in some ways it doesn't stay linked to the minim from what I can tell. Thanks. HG | Talk 18:02, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree -- the traditional curse or prayer against Minim attracted a whole prolonged scholarly controversy which needs to be covered in some form in Wikipedia (plus, I don't think that Minim is actually technically the plural of Minuth...). AnonMoos (talk) 11:42, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Molad

message: My comments in :
:The molad emtzai (average molad, used for the traditional Hebrew calendar) is based on a constant interval cycle that is widely but incorrectly regarded as an approximation of the time in Jerusalem of the mean lunar conjunction. Each molad moment occurs exactly 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and 3+1/3 seconds after the previous molad moment. This interval is numerically exactly the same as the length of the mean synodic month that was published by Ptolemy in the Almagest, who cited Hipparchus as its source. Although in the era of Hipparchus (2nd century BC) this interval was equal  to the average time between lunar conjunctions, mean lunation intervals get progressively shorter due to tidal transfer of angular momentum from Earth to Moon , so that in the present era the molad interval is about 3/5 of a second too long.
:Historically, the original molad reference meridian of longitude was halfway between the Nile river and the end of the Euphrates river, but the excess length of the molad interval causes it to drift progressively eastward at an accelerating rate — in the present era it is at a meridian that passes near Qandahar, Afghanistan!

The picture in this article which is attributed to the Boyaner Rebbe Avrohom Yaakov Friedman of Lvov is actually the picture of another Boyaner Rebbe, Rabbi Aaron Friedman ( 1890 - 1941 ), HY"D, the son of Rabbi Menachem-Nachum Friedman of Boyan-Czernowitz. 71.185.3.215 (talk) 23:33, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Talk:Chortkov (Hasidic dynasty)

message: In the text we have: "His second wife was his first cousin, a daughter of his brother Rabbi Shalom Yosef Friedman of Sadigura."
If she was his brother's daughter, she was his niece, not his cousin - a closer relationship genetically, and illegal in most jurisdictions these days. To be his first cousin, with whom marriage is legal in many (not all) jurisdictions, she would have to be his uncle's or aunt's daughter, not his brother's. I cannot find what is the true history here, but I hope someone can determine the relationships and correct this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.223.177 (talk) 23:22, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Red-collared widowbird

message: This article is well-written with a lot of information covering a range of topics, from mating systems to the specific morphology of the widowbird. The article was originally just one large chunk of text so I've broken it into generic sections, which led to the automatic creation of a table of contents. You can reorganize the paragraphs or put it into sub-sections in order to make the information clearer. Njoymusic2 (talk) 22:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: For this article, I made some slight alterations to the writing style, editing for clarity proper grammar.  I noted and changed several typos, and I changed some sentences for better flow and clarity.  I also edited some content for correctness/clarity.  I italicized scientific names and marked where citations might be helpful.  I changed the “Sexual Dimorphism” section to “Morphology.”
I rather enjoyed the article.  I would suggest expanding on the “Morphology” section. It would also be beneficial to state who conducts the studies mentioned, especially in the “Plumage” section.  I would suggest clarifying the concept of asymmetry, as this portion of the article is slightly hard to follow.  Finally, I would include more photos.
As an aside, I would love if there was some discussion of how the Red-collared Widowbird differs from the Long-Tailed Widowbird.  The photo currently on the article seems very similar to the other species and some of the facts seem to match the Long-tailed Widowbird.  This might be a reason to include the names of researchers.

Talk:Long-tailed widowbird

message: The Wikipedia entry for the Long-tailed Widowbird leaves much to be desired.  The article merely mentions the species is a member of the Ploceidae family and in which countries it might be found.  No other information is given in the text portion of the article.  The information bar on the right of the page includes a photo of a male Long-tailed Widowbird (though the sex of the animal, despite being apparent by the male’s distinct tail, is not mentioned), its current conservation status (least concern), and known scientific classifications.  The History tab indicates little editing of page, and the Talk tab merely indicates that the article is a stub, of undetermined importance, and part of the Wikiproject Birds.  No mention is made of the distinct mating practices of the species, including the female choice of males with long tails, nor is there any mention of the lack of parental input by males.  As expected with such a sub, there is only a single citation in the article.  Thus, this page is in dire need of editing and expansion.

::It is typical use of emdashes and I don't see it unduly breaking up the sentence.

The color of the outer rectrices vary based on the subspecies. Trochalopteron variegatum variegatum has distinctive yellow primary and secondary feathers with cinnamon-tipped greater coverts and black primary coverts. Trochalopteron variegatum variegatum has yellow outer rectrices. The area around the beak is black up until the eye, which is broken with a white eye ring. Buff area at the base of the mandible fades to whitish. The variegatum subspecies has buff forehead with a brownish gray crown.
Trochalopteron variegatum simile is similar to Trochalopteron variegatum variegatum except has gray primary and secondary feathers along with gray outer rectrices.
