Category talk:Bengali-language writers

message: ----
Guys, you missed name of Shakti Chattopadyaya, a poet of Sunil Gangyly's days. He was the most prominent and was involved in Krittibas as well. Sharotkumar Mukhopadhyaya and Shakti Chattopadhyaya are associates of Shakti. Shakti had his own style of writings - which could be markedly distinguished from others and his presentation bears the nuance of a victory among melancholy.
: Shakti was a poet and is listed in Bengali Poets category. This list of Bengali-language Writers consists of those who contributed to Bengali 'Prose'.GDibyendu (talk) 06:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Robert Pine

message: None is given, nor is Robert Pine mentioned in William B. Pine's article. Of course, it's not particularly unlikely that they were related, but this smacks of original research into the Pine family genealogy, no doubt held on Geni.com or Ancestry or some other such site, rather than a reliable published source/ mention in an interview. If however such a source does exist, it ought to be cited.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.207.6 (talk) 23:24, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Removed from the article the following text on alternative spellings.  
: Note: alternative spelling in English: Trubetzkoy (in Google: ca. 77000 "-ts-", 50000 "-tz-"; in Encyclopaedia Britannica: "ts") 
Though it's appropriate to discuss the alternate spellings in the article, it's inappropriate to use Google as a source or report it in sentence-fragment form. -- Rbellin|Talk 01:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Torah people

message: there are no subjects concerning the women of the torah who played very viable parts with the the culture of the Hebrew people lives. for instance most of the women had specific colors in which they wore and at time of holy days also wore different color according to the status and level of their society. None of this is ever discussed or told.  I hope this can be an elightening subject for future topic of interest for women.
Shouldn't this page be labeled "People of the Torah" or "People in the Torah"? "Torah People" is inexcusably poor grammar.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.87.169.155 (talk) 05:15, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Relf's 2002 sentence, though mentioned in a source sited previously, appears to have been deemed not significant?

I have therefore inserted a mention, though I stand to be corrected.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alrewas (talk • contribs) 09:47, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Rietti

message: I have tried to explain my reasons for the changes I have made in the edit summaries, but some points are better made here. Describing someone as a "star", as this article has done, is an overused term on Wikipedia, and did not apply to Rietti. It is clearly an over-statement. He was clearly well-known in the industry, and doubtless to collectors of obscure minutiae, but to most readers of this article he will seem obscure. A claim like "familar face" (to TV viewers of a half-century ago) is a value judgement which will be difficult to source, so I removed it. IMDb can only list work which can be traced, and often is not complete for an individual's credited work, so a count from an itemised list of his film or television work is pointless. It probably omits much of his work in foreign-language dubbing of English-language films.
Using the term "screen work" in a heading meant that phrases with much the same meaning, here it is "scores of productions" and "dozens of performances", did not need to be used twice. The same could be said for most of the work being uncredited. Percy Gresham (the editor with whom I am in dispute), I hope your promised expansion is worthwhile, properly sourced material, not an indigestible list of often forgotten productions.

thread_title: Content issues

message: His obituary notice in a Jewish publication of record is mentioned on the Talk page; but his Jewish identity is not otherwise alluded to in the article. This would be fine if he was not particularly observant in life; but I am certain I remember him presenting an edition of the ITV late night religious programme Late Call, as a person of Jewish identity. Perhaps some mention of his religious persuasion is called-for, after all.

message: Was doing research on 747th Tank Battalion and discovered that it was redesignated 723rd and assigned to the 71st Inf Div. Worthy of adding to the 71st's history, esp. since it was based outside Alaska. Its activation/deactivation dates coincide perfectly with the 71st's dates. Am not quite finished with the 747th history, so link is currently a red link. Also explains why it says 723rd but the wikilink is to the 747th.

Talk:Tim Ferguson

message: Well I love the warning about telling lies.
DAAS are famous for telling lies, such as the  "Doug Anthony was  PM and assassinated in 1975"
and "We are cast in Batman". But no,  its clearly  its slander to say Timmie told lies. :)
So... Duntroon claims Tim as a graduate. Is that a fully confirmed fact ? 
Or just one of those things that was said by a DAAS member ?? Only they said so many things.. (not calling them liars or anything haha)
:Apart from the listing of famous graduates on the Duntroon website, there's not much confirmation (and I suppose Duntroon may have just assumed his previous claims were true without checking). Interestingly, he doesn't mention Duntroon at all in his autobiography Carry a Big Stick, but I'm pretty sure he mentioned it in the live show of the same name—and I'm pretty sure Ferguson himself, editing as User:Luther Langbene, removed the Duntroon reference from the article in February saying it was "not accurate". I read another interview where he said he did attend Duntroon, but did not graduate and was expelled after a scandal which was in the papers at the time. Who knows? I'd say it's pretty unsafe to include unless someone can find references to this supposed scandal, and is quite likely to be one of DAAS's somewhat fictional backstories, albeit one which was very persistent. --Canley (talk) 02:24, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  DUNTROON 

message: This article requires major cleanup. Ferguson is an icon of Australian comedy, but this article needs major revision to become an encyclopedia article. As it stands, it appears to be written by his PR manager. It massively overuses external lines in the main article, and has a general over-promotional tone, with a lack of reliable 3rd party sources.

message: Why is the article titled incorrectly "Frederick I of Prussia"? He was only King in Prussia. Str1977 (smile back) 11:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's right. Furthermore, I think the following statements are wrong: Frederick crowned himself "King Frederick I in Prussia" on January 18, 1701 in Königsberg. To indicate that Frederick's royalty was limited to Prussia and did not reduce the rights of the Emperor in Frederick's Imperial territories, he had to call himself "King in Prussia", instead of "King of Prussia". He wasn't King of Prussia because only one half of Prussia was in his posession, and the other half was owned by the King of Poland, who styled himself "King of Prussia". Another "King of Prussia" would have caused trouble with the Polish King. I don't think that the Emperor or Empire had anything to do with that. Prussia (i. e. the historical Batlci region Prussia, not what later became called Prussia but is essentially Brandenburg and most of Northern Germany) was never part of the Empire. --89.244.179.76 (talk) 21:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about the Polish King, but Frederick was never "King of Prussia" as noted, due to the issues with the Holy Roman Empire. I don't know how to change the name of an article but this really needs to be done.Another-sailor (talk) 09:16, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Sarver

message: The use of the literal N-Word slur on this page seems problematic for several reasons:
- Most (if not all) the newspaper articles mentioning Robert Sarver's behavior do not mention literally this slur.
- In the very context of Robert Sarver WP page, it is not a direct quote, therefore "the N-Word" term is probably the most appropriate. So Wikipedia not being censored is probably not a good argument in favor of the use of this racial slur
- This term is not only offensive, it is harmful for Afro-Americans and Black people in general. When they arrive on a page and see this word spelled out out of context they may feel harmed.
- We agree that there are some exceptions ant that the literal use of the slur is OK on some pages, example Alan Coe, Underground Album, other example The word Niggardly, etc...
Edit: the section above was written before reading the official (and seemingly irrevocable) guidelines in regard to "offensive" wording... [to treat offensive material in articles]
I keep the section for my own sanity, if another contributor wants to discuss it (or remove), feel free

Talk:Ripponlea

message: Hi,
What are the official boundaries of Ripponlea? I question whether or not the Top Shop on the corner of Glen Eira Road and Hotham Street are part of Ripponlea? If so, would streets like Attley, Bailey, Myrtle, Acacia and Gordon also be in Ripponlea? If not (I think that is the answer), then places like Caulfield Grammar and the Top Shop, Attley, Bailey and Myrtle Streets would be in East St Kilda, whereas Solomon's Kosher Butchers, BBE Mechanics, Gordon and Acacia Streets would be in Elsternwick. Because Ripponlea Primary School on Carrington Grove is definitely in East St Kilda. 
Also, Ripponlea would have two postcodes: 3183 above Glen Eira Road and 3185 below Glen Eira Road. Because Oak St is in Ripponlea and its postcode is 3183. St Petersburg Restaurant is in Ripponlea and is 3183.
01:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In answer - Brighton Road, Hotham Road and Elm Grove/Albion Street are the boundaries. You're correct regarding the streets and the primary school - they are in St Kilda East (as is the primary school) and Elsternwick respectively.
