Talk:Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova

message: In order to determine whether to use Daria or Darya, let us refer to the Wikipedia:Romanization of Russian guideline. This guideline states that "If the person is the subject of English-language publications, the spelling predominantly used in such publications should be used. A preference is given to publications in the area in which the person specializes. When no single spelling predominates, use the one closest to the default romanization guidelines."
Is the person the subject of English-language publications? Yes. 
Is there a single predominant spelling in those publications? No: there are 16 results in Google Books for "Daria Saltykova" and 19 results for "Darya Saltykova".
Since no single spelling predominates, Darya (the variant corresponding to Wikipedia's default romanization) should be used. — Tetromino (talk) 07:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Darya vs. Daria 

message: This sentence sounds rather silly: "who became notorious for torturing and killing over 100 of her serfs, mostly women and girls" when followed by the claim that of the 138 serfs she killed, 38 were female. That leaves the reader to suppose 100 of her victims were male, in direct contradiction to the majority female suggestion. Note that Tolstoy referred to Saltykova in one of the epilogs to "War and Peace", and made no comment about the gender of her victims - which would be quite remarkable had he been aware of a preponderance of females.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.72.213 (talk) 09:16, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Isabella and the Pot of Basil

message: I have decided to reinstate the undo made previously. Here is my rationale. The painting "Isabella and the Pot of Basil" is a famous theme and there are several versions. A reader might mistakenly assume that Hunt was the only person who painted a painting of this theme. 
The wikipedia article is called "Isabella and the Pot of Basil," not "Hunt's Isabella and the Pot of Basil." It seems absurd to single Hunt out there to the exclusion of the rest. In order to justify doing this, the article would need to demonstrate that Hunt's painting is the definitive rendition of this theme and explain why other renditions are inferior or less notable.  
Actually, I feel this is not the case at all. One of my motivations for making this correction in fact was because I find John White Alexander's version to be more interesting and notable than Hunt's version (yes, this is a personal bias--so kill me!). Also, you will note that Alexander's wiki page (which I had no part in constructing)  lists the painting on his artist page. Excluding references to other readers would cause confusion in people's minds. Robert J Nagle 06:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Isabella and the Pot of Basil is the title of Hunt's painting. The poem is entitled Isabella, or the Pot of Basil. Both Alexander's and Waterhouse's paintings and titles are essentially variant copies of Hunt's. Others, notably Millais's painting, are almost completely unrelated in content and composition (it has its own page). Alexander almost exactly copies Hunt's composition in a Whistlerian-inspired style. Waterhouse reverses the composition, keeping the water-jug and even the decorative skull, but placing it out of doors. So saying that the subject was used by other painters "of the time" is misleading - as though they all independently adopted it, like variants of "Death of Julius Caesar" or some other popular topic. They didn't. You are entitled to like Alexander's painting better, but Hunt is a far more notable artist. His painting is much more discussed in art historical literature. De facto it is the more notable work, and clearly the other two paintings are responses specifically to Hunt's painting. Paul B 07:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Template talk:Presidents of Bosnia and Herzegovina

message: I've restored the Party Secretaries, and here's why: as is typical with other sub-national Yugoslav and Soviet templates, we have one box for PMs, and another for "leaders". Of course the latter term is unscientific, and in the Bosnian SRY the de jure head of state was the President of the Presidency, but de facto power lay with the Party Secretary, and a sort of consensus dictates that it's more important to inform readers (at a glance) who was really in charge, than who was theoretically heading the republic. However, separate Party Secretary templates do exist for Serbia and Montenegro, so this could be created for Bosnia if deemed necessary. Biruitorul 06:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Raya and Sakina

message: Raya and Sakina (Arabic: ريا وسكينة) were two Egyptian women serial killers, known as Egypt's most infamous serial killers. Raya and Sakina were siblings. They, their husbands, and two other men began killing women in the Labban neighborhood of Alexandria in the early 1900s.[2][3] The police were plagued by increasing reports of missing women. Common details in the reports included the missing person's sex (all were females), the missing women were known to be wearing gold jewelry, and were known to be carrying a large amount of money. Another common detail was the report that many of the missing women were last seen with both or either one of the two sisters. Sakina was questioned several times because of the reports, but she managed to dodge any suspicions about her involvement.[citation needed] 41.37.20.107 (talk) 04:11, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

message: the description, "inflexible" and "leather-like" is contradictory as leather is flexible, ie, it does flex even if it does not stretch. if the dura is "inflexible", how is it that most any vertebrate which has a dura, flexes its spinal column, which is a major function of spinal columns. removing the descriptive "and inflexible" to make the passage self-consistent and reflective of reality.

Talk:Socialist Soviet Republic of Byelorussia

message: The article says that BNR was a "puppet state", but that SSRB "was considered by Bolsheviks to be a buffer republic".
So this means that neither of them really became full-fledged states (BSSR was a rather different entity) and both were political tools - one for Germany and one for the Bolshevik Moscow.
Except that "puppet state" sounds more negative. --Amir E. Aharoni 06:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The terms are different and, contrary to what you may think, are not political slurs, but reflect the state of the affairs.  "Buffer state" is actually the term used by bolsheviks themselves, referring to its purpose: a temporary buffer between Russia and the enemies. This arrangement was only temporarry with the inention to include it into Russia. Another suc example is Far Eastern Republic and some others.  Germans did not set a "buffer", they intended to create Mitteleuropa totally subordinated to Germany, which was the primary purpose, and this arrangement is traditionally called puppet state. Now, you may say that the "buffer states": were subordinated to Russia. Yes they were, but the were pieces of former Imperial Russia itself and were going to be re-incorporated back after the smoke and dust of wars settles, while Germany occupied foreign lands.  `'Míkka 15:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Questionable content and point of view

message: The following statement is a claim currently in the lead section of this article:  
Fortunately, through the reading recovery program children who are struggling with reading are given extra support.
There are many issues with this statement WRT Wikipedia.  Here are the first 3 that come to mind: 
*The statement is very POV
*Reading Recovery is a commercial program; claims such as this do not belong in Wikipedia (b/c it sounds like Wikipedia is endorsing Reading Recovery)
*There is no balance in the statement about Reading Recovery -- RR has highly visible supporters and detractors, and both views must be presented and each given "due weight". 
This statement should either be removed from the article entirely, or moved someplace after the lead section where the controversial aspects of the program can be addressed.  
I think that the best approach would be to state that research-based interventions are available to help children read, and to provide links to information resources.
