Talk:Daniel Carasso

message: Does anyone here know of Carasso's birthdate? I've been looking for one on both the German and French wikipedia sites/Yahoo and have come up with dead ends. If anyone locates it, please add it to the article. Even his NYTIMES obituary failed to mention it!Longevitymonger (talk) 20:52, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Birthdate?

message: Isaac and Daniel Carasso were born in the Turkish Salonica, so in the Ottoman Empire and went to Spain with the receipts of the Turkish yoghurt. By the way, at the time yoghurt was a part of the Turkish culture and nobody in Europe knew what it is. The word "yoghurt" derives from the Turkish yoğurt, which means 'to knead'. So I don't understand why you call it 'Greek' yoghurt, please provide us your proofs, as I provided mines.-- 92.227.160.19 (talk) 10:11, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Manakish

message: The manaksih are originally from the Lebanese Bekaa valley, and has been adopted and developer all over mount lebanon, the Syrians only imported it later on. I don't have much specific sources, but I have talked to people in Syria and they confirm this. I suggest finding a reference then changing the origin from Levantine to Lebanon.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.218.105.203 (talk) 15:55, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origins 

message: Like most Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian dishes, Manakish predates the Zionist state by centuries.  These are not recipes that Jews carried with them over the centuries to Europe, or back to Palestine when they invaded.  Why pretend this is "Israeli" culture by default?  It's not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.66.85.9 (talk) 05:26, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: 100% true. This is the Wikipedia trend of the Zionization of every article possible, especially those related to Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and every other scrap of land these thieving European pseudo-Jews have their eyes on. This obviously draws out the more passionate anti-Zios and truth-tellers, making it statistically more likely they will be either banned or become disenfranchised with Ziopedia, leaving the door open for ever more Zionist edits. If you say anything, you're tarred as either an antisemite (goy) or self-hating Jew (yid). Dumb or cowardly "admins" and "mods" turn a blind eye, because their power over others means more to them than, y'know, a sense of human decency and fairness. People might as well look to The CIA Newsletter for updates at this rate. 76.69.155.96 (talk) 17:43, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Monastery of Saint Moses the Abyssinian

Talk:Berlin Declaration (2007)

message: How on earth do we classify this? -JLogan 21:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Categories? 

message: I removed the following statement because it is factually wrong:
"It is unprecedented and symbolic for the European Union to have an important declaration signed only by the heads of the Union's institutions rather than the heads of governments of the member states. It could represent a shift of power, either due to the institutions gaining more powers or greater reliance upon them due to the swelled number of members. It was however still backed by the member states in the form of the Council of the European Union and the European Council."
It is not even unprecedented, as claimed in the quote above, since the EU's Charter of Fundamental rights proclaimed at an European Summit in Nice was also signed by the presidents of the three institutions (Parliament, Council and Commision). Also, it does not represent a "shift of power", since this declaration, just like the Charter, is not binding.
:Granted your note on the charter. But that para was based on comments by the Commission and media commentators, not sure where the citation is now. I'll see if I can look it up. In terms of shift of power, of course not in the sence of it just being a charter, it represent it in it being signed by the institutions, not the leaders. I'm perfectly happy to poke a hole in that as it was signed by them because it was to hard to get agreement with the leaders but that was put in because that was a comment of the day. But perhaps you might want to restore it and dispute that in article? Also, do not forget to sign your posts on talk pages. - J Logan t/c: 22:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Preparation section 

message: *The Middle Eastern Kitchen by Ghillie Basan: Its describes "an Arab medieval dish", and its name comes from the Arabic word for smallpox as the lentiles look like the pockmarks on the face that the illness produces. Christian Arabs eat it during Lent. Popular throughout the Arab world, known in Egypt as Meggadara, and in Lebanon as Mudardara. The classic recipe does not have bulghur, though the Lebanese version imjadra does, using green rather than brown lentils, though sometimes brown too. A Turkish variation with green lentils and carrots and olive oil is called zeytinyagli havuc. An Egyptian variation with red lentils and onions and spices than resembles dahl is called masafi. Lots more there too. Tiamuttalk 11:13, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

What if someone (i.e. me) was intrigued by the summery in this article and wanted to seek out the story itself? Is Amiran-Darejaniani, mentioned in the See Also section, the epic, or is it a related story? It doesn't say. I'm sure Amiran is almost certainly another name for Amirani, but the fact that he's called by a different name in the article for that story suggests it isn't the same version of the story referred to here.BrokenEye3 (talk) 20:58, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Qal'at Najm

message: Do you think this should be moved to Najm Castle (along with many other non-standard named castles in Syria)? Yazan (talk) 18:35, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not sure what the standard policy is on non-English names for castles. Although I am the one who moved it from Najm Castle to Qal'at Najm (I did that as a beginner editor; I was blissfully unaware of any wp naming policies ;)), I would not oppose a reversal; especially not if that helps consistency. -- Zoeperkoe (talk) 18:48, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, your move has merit actually, Google books return 155 results for "Qal'at Najm", and only one for "Najm Castle", the relevant policy is Wikipedia:Article titles#Deciding on an article title here, but in our case there is some kind of conflict between recognizability, and consistency. I'm not really sure how to proceed with this one. Yazan (talk) 02:37, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a tricky one. My guess is that castle that are in the Lonely Planet are better known by their English names, whereas the rest is not. Scientific papers usually tend to use the Arabic names, and I don't think that much else than scientific papers has been written on castles like Najm or Ja'bar (except, of course, medieval Arabic sources, which I can't read, unfortunately). It would be nice to know, since two more Syrian castles are on my to-write list (if I can find sources for them at all) and they would definitely have the same naming problem. I'm fine either way, but I agree that it is not really consistent. I'll think about it a day or two, maybe a solution presents itself. -- Zoeperkoe (talk) 14:57, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: After thinking about this, I think it makes more sense to leave it like this. Since more scholarly sources refer to it as "Qal'at". On another note, do let me know if you need me to translate any passages from Arabic sources. Yazan (talk) 14:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, let's leave it as it is then. Saves us some work too. Thanks for the offer on the Arabic, although I don't expect to need it anytime soon. Tracking down Arabic sources would be just too much work for me at the moment, to be honoust. -- Zoeperkoe (talk) 04:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe

message: At the bottom of this title, it is noted that "This article about the European Union is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it". However, the Committee of Ministers belongs to the Council of Europe, not the European Union. Even though it is a European institution, the Council of Europe does not have organic link with the European Union. The Council of Europe was found before the European Union and it has 46 member states, including Russia, Turkey, Serbia, and many others. But also, it is very normal to be confused since the European Union is using the flag of the Council of Europe (the European flag).
Since they have common flags and common aims, it is maybe better to change the above mentioned notice as "This article about a European institution is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it". So it would be possible to use a common notice for both the EU and the CoE articles.

I found everywhere the match result reported as +8 =1 -1 (or +8 -2 considering the match rules) in Philidor favour. Bledow and von Oppen suggest that there are other versions however. I remember years ago, I read somewhere that the match results was +8 -2 or +8 -4  according to the sources. Doas anybody knows something more about it?

Talk:Seleucia ad Belum

message: The name of the village of Al-Suqaylabiyah, located just about 5km south of Apamea, goes back as well to "Seleucobelos". Could it be possible that the information in the article about Seleucia ad Belum beeing located 45 km north of Apamea is simply wrong? When I search for sites in a 50km-radius northwest of Apamea in Google Earth I do not find any settlement or site that could possibly have been Seleucia ad Belum. Also it does not seem to be the case that there is any other settlement in the area that had the name "Seleucobelos" or "Seleucopolis". Therefore the much more likely version is that both names refer to the same place. Any suggestions? Schumeru (talk) 20:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

:The settlement of Manus — in the Admiralty Islands — may represent a real threshold in voyaging ability as it is the only island settled in the Pleistocene beyond the range of one-way intervisibilty. Voyaging to Manus involved a blind crossing of some 60-90 km in a 200-300 km voyage, when no land would have been visible whether coming from the north coast of Sahul or New Hanover at the northern end of New Ireland. These would have been tense hours or days on board that first voyage and the name of Pleistocene Columbus who led this crew will never been known. The target arcs for Manus are 15° from New Hanover, 17° from Mussau and 28° from New Guinea.
