message: The article currently gives his date of death as 10 August 1830. Where is this from? The sources I can find do not give such a precise date, and most don't give 1830 as the year. Some give 1832, while others give "about 1834". --Delirium (talk) 19:30, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Nguyễn Hải Thần

message: This article, while a good start, contains very little meat and a great deal of oil. We don't learn very much about the Great Man other than that he was respected and that he succeeded in having Ho Chi Minh pardoned by the French. What did he do before WWII? Where was he born? Was his family landlord or peasant? Was he ever arrested by the French? What was his schooling? As it stands, this article will not satisfy hunger. Writtenright 05:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:G-Fest

message: In 1996 and 1997, and perhaps later, the convention was called G-Con.  I do not remember, nor is it important, to go into the bizarre events which led to the convention changing its name.  When I have the time, I will make this change, barring a reason given not to.  Boomcoach 18:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I plan to make some addition discussing the excellent work that Stan Hyde has done with these.  It has been, for several years, the main reason that my son and I attend, as he enjoys doing buildups.  I also plan to add links to the pages that I did covering the 96 and 97 Cons, once I clean up the link errors on them that came from moving hosts.  These pages have some excellent pics from the cons, but I do not know how to make them available for use within the wiki, so linking to the coverage would be the best I could do.

replies: text: There seems to be a fairly continual attempt by 2 SPAs to de signify Mellon's criminal convictions. To quote one of the sources cited in the article: "Mellon told the gardaí that he would “f**king embarrass them in court” and told them “you are bastards”. This is not merely being "rude" as the SPA would like the article to read. Being rude tends not normally to lead to criminal convictions. Mellon was arrested at the scene and convicted of breach of the peace. The judge in the case, Judge Halpin, told Mellon that his behaviour had been “inexcusable”. 79616gr (talk) 16:30, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

message: If Nicaea was born in 335 and was married in 323 then she married at 12 years old. I don't believe it. The dates on some of these Macedonian women are coming from Livius, a former outstanding source. There are similar date discrepancies.

message: I find no reason to separate this page.  It is clear and informative.  Leave "as is" is my suggestion.
I have changed this back to an older version for two reasons.  this category is Gaelic names.  also added back in the reference to manan hearing.  you wouldn't leave out a reference to Ford Motor company when discussing the name Ford would you?
The article is not just about a Gaelic name (btw, the category Gaelic names currently has this article is its sole entry). The word Manan has a meaning in various languages, and any entry to the article describing it should be considered relevant.Emptyvoid (talk) 02:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Economy of Mali

message: Hello everyone, I am working for the International Trade Centre (ITC). I would like to propose the addition of an external link that could lead directly to the specific country’s trade data held by ITC. I would like you to consider this link under the WP:ELYES #3 prescriptions. Moreover, the reliability and the pertinence of this link can be supported by the following facts 
1) ITC is part of the United Nations
2) No registration is required
3) Trade data (imports/exports) are regularly updated
4) The link gives direct access to the trade database of the specific country
5) The addition of reliable trade data to the Economy section of the country could provide an appropriate contribution to the information therein contained.

message: "In tragedy, resolution is fairly uncommon, and substitution occurs almost exclusively to accommodate personal names that otherwise could not fit the meter." - This statement needs a reference. It does not appear to be true. For example, each of the following three successive lines of Euripides has a resolution:

I have therefore deleted the statement. Kanjuzi (talk) 09:54, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Resolution 

message: * I have looked up Resolution (meter) and Substitution (poetry), and I have read about Latin and Greek poetry, and it seems that the only "substitution" in regular Latin and Greek iambic trimeter is replacing the first syllable of a foot (except the last foot) by two short syllables. That is resolution. Replacing the first iambus by a trochee (as shown in page Substitution (poetry)) is common in English poetry, but how common is suchlike in Latin and Greek? I feel that the word "substitution" should be removed from the parts of this article that describe Latin and Greek poetry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:34, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that "substitution" is a bit vague, so it seems a good idea to avoid it. The link Substitution (poetry) is also not helpful, since it refers to a different phenomenon. The current version is better now. However, I would still like it to say (if a reference can be found), as I mentioned on your Talk page, something like "Resolution of the anceps elements in tragedy is rare, except sometimes to accommodate a proper name, but resolution of the long elements is slightly more common." Is that what the textbooks say? Unfortunately I don't have any here right now. Kanjuzi (talk) 17:34, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

message: I'm not familiar with wikipedia guidelines on this issue, but I find it strange that "who's who" is linked to the wikipedia article in the references. Is this normal? Does this fit with wikipedia guidelines? Bali88 (talk) 04:22, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: What is it that you find strange? Linking it merely means that people who don't know what Who's Who is can go to the article and check. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:35, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It just seems like something you'd do in the article. I've never seen anything internally linked in the reference section. I couldn't find anything in wikipedia guidelines for references that addresses this so I wasn't sure how it was viewed. Also, I think we probably need an IBSN for the particular Who's who he is in and the link should go to Who's Who (UK). I'm assuming that's the one he's in. The page he's currently linked to looks like a DAB page. Bali88 (talk) 18:36, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is this a Stub? 

message: For some reason the article for KZEG was never moved to KMCN, which is customary per WikiRadioProject naming convention. In 2008 another user created a new article instead of moving the old station article to new call sign and making appropriate edits (in this case major rewrite/cleanup). I took most of the new article and added it to this article, which had much more station history but needed some of cleanup. I moved the new article to KMCS and turned it into a redirect. I had this page moved to KMCN. Due to these moves there is a minute amount of edit history for this station located at KMCS edit history. RobDe68 (talk) 00:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Nick Gaetano

message: It seems only with a sense of extreme irony that Nick Gaetano was ever selected to illustrate Ayn Rand's novels.  The choice must have been based, not on the understanding Rand's ideas, but rather for the superficial reason that Gaetano's work is imitative of the Art Deco style.  This being said, there is nothing about Gaetano's work that fits the criterea of "Romantic Realist" and whoever made the claim in Gaetano's article should back it up with references (which is not possible).  Rand's book on aesthetics and romantic realism, The Romantic Manifesto outlines clearly (from a philosophical standpoint) what defines something as Romantic Realism and being chosen for the cover of an Objectivist book is not mentioned (for good reason).
Further evidence that Gaetano's work is not "Romantic Realism" is that the styles, artists and principles Gaetano imitates, for example cubism, impressionism and abstraction, are all things Ayn Rand considered terrible and immoral--definitely not the "romanticism" of her own style, definition and liking.  She considered the styles Gaetano borrows to be the exact opposite of a rational style calling them mysticism and naturalism--an aesthetic contrary to her own.  If one were to read The Romantic Manifesto or The Fountainhead and then follow it up with a look at Gaetano's website, the contrast is obvious.  Another reason his work is not Romantic Realism is by the very fact that his work is imitative which smacks of the infamous "second-hander", Peter Keating, in The Fountainhead.

Nahidova sestra Aida rođena 1924 podvlači, dokazujući da niti jedan član ove hrvatske obitelji islamske vjeroispovijesti nije izostavio da javno proklamira svoje Hrvatstvo: "Gotovo svi rođeni Hrvati i osjećaju se Hrvatima a kao protudokaz nikada se ne mogu navoditi iznimke... Poštujemo vjeru jedni drugih i živimo po propisima vjere kojoj pripadamo i hrvatski će narod od toga imati goleme koristi" (Iz Sabrana djela 1945-1956 dr.

English translation: In his last article And blood for Croatia Nahid Kulenović almost had a presentiment of his approaching death. Nahid's sister Aida born in 1924 highlights, proving that no member of this Croatian family of Islamic religion did not forget to publicly proclaim their Croatdom: "Nearly all born Croats and feel like Croats to contradict never can cite exceptions... We respect the faith of each other and live by the rules of faith to which we belong and the Croatian people will also have the immense benefit from it" (from Sabrana djela 1945-1956 dr.

Talk:Constanzo Beschi

message: The Catholic Encyclopaedia is over 100 years old and is known to be unreliable in many respects. It has been discussed on numerous occasions at WP:RSN and, while it is not completely useless, it has two big flaws when it comes to history. The first is that it is an avowedly partisan work and the second is that its research does not meet with modern standards of historiography.
I think we should not use it in this article. We only very rarely allow sources from the Raj era in India-related stuff and surely if this chap is as notable as is made out in our article then there will be more modern discussions of his life etc. See WP:HISTRS for some basic background to this.
As an aside, the same issues also apply to some of the sources that are listed but not actually cited. And the tag noting the problem with that has been in place since 2008. This article is going to end up being stubbed unless it is sorted out very soon. - Sitush (talk) 08:39, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

message: The Tamilnation website has a somewhat chequered history on Wikipedia. Much of its content has been disputed over the years, with arguments ranging from there being no obvious editorial control through to outright pov-pushing ethnic bias.

message: I cannot read the Vikatan source but I would be wary of it. The thing appears to be a general news site/magazine and we're using it to support statements about linguistics that really should require an academic source, especially when we're making extraordinary claims such as of him being the first to do this, that or the other. There have been many edit wars on Wikipedia over the years because of issues involving the Tamil language, so top class sources would seem to be a prerequisite. - Sitush (talk) 08:53, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
