Talk:Iblis

message: This is pretty popular and even mentioned among many cited sources, however, I couldn't find, after reading through about 10 tafasirs in Arabic, not even one such story. And non of these sources do cite material, ecept for Tobias Nünlist Daemon belief in Islam. A German work with a lot of material regarding jinn, div, devils, angels, and satans in Islamic Medieval Age tradition. He attributes this to the Ikhwan as Safa, anonymous authors on Islamic legends with clear Neo-Platonic tendencies. The closest thing I found in tafsir is, that Iblis was taken captive by the angels,a fter he was sent down to earth to the jinn as a judge. But even here, he judges them and we don't know if he was an angel or a jinni in this report (They read him as "from the jinn" instead of "one of the jinn"). But still, there is no "works his way up to heaven". This is not to say that Iblis is always an angel. But those who say he is not, think of him mostly as the father of the jinn, not as an individual member from the pre-Adamite jinn. I am really unsure what to do. On one hand, there are a lot of references in reliable sources, probably due to contemporary popularity, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem to reflect anything established in Islamic exegetical tradition.

replies: text: Update: I found this essay on what to do if sources are wrong. However, since this is a huge step, and contradicting quite a few sources also used in the article, I would like to know if others know any better and could find support that the idea that Iblis was "a pious jinni elavted to tha rank of angels" has ever been considered by any (traditional) Muslim scholar.

replies: text: Update: I checked Awn's Satan-Book to look up for the primary source. It seems to be be Tarikh Khamis which tells about two of Iblis' origins. However, as a sixteenth Century compliation, I am not sure, how muhc it actually represents Islamic traditions regarding this matter. VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 00:00, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:IBM System/360

message: The 5450 and 3066 consoles have different keys, CCW opcodes and data streams from a 3270. If you look at the logic manual 
 you will see that DIDOCS has a separate driver for 5450 and 3066. If you have a copy of the VM turnkey system, you can also check the code in CP and in CMS EDIT.
These consoles are documented only in the 360/85, 370/165 and 370/168 CE manuals. I had copies of the CE manuals for the 3165, but I sent them to the LCM for scanning in 2014 and have not yet gotten the PDFs. Maybe you can track down another copy.

Talk:The Peel Sessions (Prong EP)

message: Shoot, "Peel Sessions" has become a brand by now.  Every band you can think of has a "Peel Sessions" record.  I would recommend that this article be wiped out.  Someone can go to John Peel's website and get a list of the Sessions.  That would be a lot better.  However, since this article is "Peel Sessions (EP)" I suppose we're down to just those groups that released an EP of Peel sessions, which is a shorter list. Geogre 12:52, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Honey bee

message: Honey wasps (Brachygastra) and a few other hymenopteran species produce honey, but not in the kind of surplus that honeybees do. I sort of remember a bee researcher (Thomas D. Seeley?) writing about harvesting a few spoonfuls of honey from a bumblebee nest, and describing the flavor. Also dimly remembered are the ants who store honey in the distended abdomens of some of the workers, esteemed as a tasty snack by people living nearby. As User:Waspbeehybrid pointed out on their talk page, the ability to create honey may merit mention in this article.

Talk:Dial (of telephone)

message: "Dial" is still commonly used as a verb (e.g. "Let's dial out for pizza") even though dial telephones are largely obsolete. Also "speed dial" and "dial-up" generally don't involve actual "dials". There is a grammatical term for this kind of word, but now I can't remember it.  Might be worth mentioning in the article. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 20:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of parasitic organisms

message: How about Trichomonas vaginalis?
I Think the line on parasitic wasps should be modified. It only makes mention one superfamily of parasitic wasps (Ichneumonoidea), when there are actually over 20 superfamily of wasps containing parasitic species. Since the families Ichneumonoidea and Chalcidoidea are the two biggest superfamilies of parasitic Hymenoptera, and obviously we cannot list everything as per the discussion below, I suggest replacing this line by something like: "Parasitoid wasps (some Hymenoptera such as Ichneumonoidea and Chalcidoidea)", and having these 4 terms linked to their specific pages.

Talk:Combinatorics

message: I am researching the actual usage/meaning of Riordan transforms and noticed they seem to be missing from Wikipedia.  
Would anybody be interested in an entry, and where should it be placed.  I can give various published references to it and one project paper by Renzo Sprugnoli (which seems to have disappeared from the internet, but I have a copy).  "In the raw" they are a little difficult/confusing to understand.  
They are related to  
Riordan Arrays  
Combinatorial identities  
"Formal"/"Method of coefficients"  mathematical methods https://local.disia.unifi.it/merlini/papers/MofC.pdf

In my case I am using them to generate generating functions for Hadamard products of power series, and attempts to form closed partial sums of various functions.  But since it's for private usage it won't be published.

It's making people think of a sort of modern day Iran supremacy and neglects the distinct origin they had.
It's like these people were all Persian settlers from the actual Persis/Persia proper.

Talk:Transvestism (disambiguation)

message: I suppose I should explain my rationale for the changes I made to this page (and related pages). Note that I came across this page because it had a disambiguation cleanup tag on its, so I boldly modified it.
First, I moved the page to Transvestism (disambiguation), and changed Transvestite to a redirect to Transvestism. I did this because the terms are closely associated and it seemed logical.
Next, I modified the page to make it strictly conform to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). (Consequently, I had to axe the external links, among other things.)
Lastly, I put disambiguation hatnotes at Transvestism and Cross-dressing that direct to here.
I sincerely hope my good faith efforts are acceptable.
