message: "Since it is possible to have a simply connected universe that is bounded yet admits infinite geodesy, the argument is shown by modern mathematics and cosmology to be invalid." --- I don't follow this argument. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.17.159.130 (talk • contribs)

message: Sweden received the right to 2/3 of all the shipping tolls at ports of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, such as Danzig and Elbląg (Elbing) and from the Duchy of Prussia ports for the next six years. - the Swedes got the right to levy a 3.5% tax on trade in Gdansk. That 3.5% was not necessarily 2/3 of all tolls. With regard to Elblag and cities of Duchy of Prussia, they didn't get the right to levy tolls; they got to keep the towns outright (though they gave them back soon after).
Also, I think Poland got to keep a very small chance of Lagalia and technically, Semigalia.VolunteerMarek 22:03, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't think a choli belongs in this article--it is distinctly different.  A blouse is a loose garment that can be tucked into a skirt and allowed to "blouse out" over the waistband.  A choli is fitted and usually cropped and therefore cannot be tucked into a skirt, with which it isn't even traditionally worn. A choli and sari are just inherently diffent from a blouse and skirt. If anything, maybe your could put them together under "Women's Separates."  A discussion of the choli belongs in an article called "choli" and not here.

thread_title:  Name - form in Hungarian 

message: it might be true, that Benedek has made some mistakes / wrong decisions, but other source has kind of predicted that the outcome of the battles was already decided, before the battle has even begun
and this source demonstrates this story just to show that the Archduke got unlimited power even to crush the most powerful commander
 
excerpt from ISBN 963 281 217 4 (Jászi Oszkár: A Habsburg-monarchia felbomlása), page 225
Benedek was the most popular commander after the death of Radetzky, he got great prestige in the army.
When 1866 was coming then he was already in service in the southern area, as he quoted: "I knew every stone and tree in Lombardy". When he was ordered to give his place to Archduke Albrecht because the winning was more easy there, he has resisted to the order saying: "I would be only a donkey in Chech where I do not even know the flow of the Elba".
It is said that this exchange was needed just to secure the most probable winning of the Archduke, and as later on it turned out it was true, the Archduke was a winner while Benedek was the loser.
 
He was ordered to the Kaiser to give his honest word that he will not make any word in defense of himself in order to serve the Kaiser, after it then the Archduke and the defense ministry has made an (they have checked the kefelevonat ~ first print of the page) article in the Wiener Zeitung where they have blamed Benedek for all of the wrongdoing in the battle of Sadowa.
Benedek has kept his word and has remained silent, he just has written in his last testament that: "this kind of behavior does not fit into his thinking about the law and justice and honour". Also he has denied that his funeral would be with military parade(honour ???)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izomtibor (talk • contribs) 00:12, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik

message: There's some information found on page 34 of this source about Maslama's governorship of Jund Qinnasrin: 
The basic tidbits are the following: 
*According to Jere L. Bacharach, Maslama was the likely founder of the Great Mosque of Aleppo.
*He was governor of Qinnasrin sometime before 710 during al-Walid's reign and continued in this role during Caliph Sulayman'd rule. This explains why many historians claim the Great Mosque's construction was started by al-Walid and finished by al-Sulayman.
*Maslama likely used Aleppo as a major base during his campaigns against the Byzantines, for which the mosque's construction would have been appropriate.
*He was possibly responsible for a number of unspecified construction works in the ancient town of Qinnasrin. 
*Maslama's role as commander against the Byzantines, and his governorship of Jazira, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Armenia are all better known than his governorship of Jund Qinnasrin.
I would add at least some of this information, but I'm not sure how best to integrate it into the article. --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:09, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some tidbits of info 

message: Continuing the discussion from my talk page. Added the bulk of the material on his land reclamation schemes and (possible) building works. Few things to clear up before proceeding with nomination:
*Should we elaborate a bit more that Maslama's nephew and successor, Marwan ibn Muhammad, developed a power base among the Syro-Jaziran frontier troops and, with them, seized power as the last Umayyad caliph?
*Some kind of map (interactive or otherwise) of his estates in northern Syria (Balis area), the Jazira (Hisn Maslama-Bajadda), and southern Iraq? Or alternatively, just a map showing Jund Qinnasrin/Jazira, since these regions are not shown in the article?
:*I think this map, :File:Al-Jazira.svg, would work best if you would be able to 'plug' the towns of Balis and Qinnasrin; perhaps change 'Halab' to 'Aleppo' and delete 'al-Raqqah'; and note the districts of Qinnasrin and Hims. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:07, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
