replies: text: It could probably be improved through the application of sources. The Guardian and Asian Media articles could provide some good materials and I'll keep an eye out for an interview in which Morrison discusses it. It might be that it needs changing from "influences" to something else ("Overview"?) and refocus it on background, portrayal of Asian culture, etc. as there has been discussion on that.

message: I've done a bit of updating - I have more Wikipedia experience under my belt since starting this so want to revamp things with that in mind. I have added more information to the influences section and will keep working on that. I've changed "reviews" to "reception" and want to refocus it away from just reviews and to give a more rounded (and less listy) look at the reaction to the series from news reports to reviews and interviews.

Talk:Union Public Schools

message: *This page needs to be merged with Union_School_District%2C_Tulsa. --Osfn8 02:18, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This is a pretty low quality article... It sounds more like you're trying to sell the school district. Also, you've gotta remember not everyone who's reading this article knows what Union Public Schools are, so referring to it as 'Union' is not very systematic. You could call it "The District," "The school system," "it," "Union Public Schools," and things like that. Someone needs to sort through this someone who wrote it and clean it up a bit.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Translation

message: What's the proper way to cite a translation from another language Wikipedia?  I've done a moderate amount of translation from French, most notably at Pierre Cauchon, and I'm unsure how to present it. Durova 06:15, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a link to the other-language article would suffice for GFDL purposes (similarly to merging articles).  As far as actual in-text citation goes, I don't think referencing another Wikipedia article, in any language, is a particularly good idea; we'd probably want to copy over the sources listed in the translated article instead. —Kirill Lokshin 12:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Articles already have links to other language editions on the left hand side of the page.  On that article I added a mention in italics at the bottom of the page since the whole thing was translated.  What would you do if only part of the article is translated?  Insert a footnote? Durova 17:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I meant putting a link in the edit summary (e.g. Translated material from fr:Something) when you add the translated material.  I don't think footnotes are helpful, since the original article isn't necessarily a reliable or citeable source. —Kirill Lokshin 18:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The translator usually writes something like "this article is based on the respective article of the other WP", and yes it is needed by GFDL to be on the ref section. talk to +MATIA 11:36, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation 

message: I thought I could write it here instead of bothering each of the listed translators - hope you don't mind. The article Scanderbeg needs some work (ref, npov check, etc) and I have found a french book (and in public domain) about him that is supposed to be good. So if anyone can help, perhaps we could finish with the tags requesting citation and then proceed with improving the article. I must also note that Paganel's book about Scanderbeg could be used in many related articles (about battles Scanderbeg fought, etc). Thanks! talk to +MATIA 11:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:SMA

message: The 3rd paragraph of this diff says:
"The Sma, who holds that Shmita nowadays is only a Rabbinic obligation, holds that the Biblical promise of bounty for those who observe the Shmita (Leviticus 25:20–22[18]) only applies when the Biblical obligation is in effect, and hence that the Biblical promise of bounty is not in effect today. However, the Chazon Ish, who holds that the Biblical obligation of Shmita observance remains in effect today, holds that the Biblical promise of bounty follows it and Divine bounty is promised to Jews living in the Land of Israel today, just as it was promised in ancient times. However, he holds that Jews should generally not demand miracles from Heaven and hence that one should not rely on this promise for one's sustenance, but should instead make appropriate arrangements and rely on permissible leniencies.[19]" {emphasis added in bold here & below for clarity & emphasis}
QUESTION: What is a 'SMA' in terms of Jewish theology!? (I add that THIS page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMA does not disambiguate!!)
One of the 2 answers in this article says:
"The Sma quotes the Magid Mishnah to explain 'ruach sheino metzuya means (a wind) that the world does not have constantly, but rather only at times, even though it comes often. And we don't even need to mention a hurricane that only blows from time to time'."
See also this diff, which gives me the feeling that 'SMA' is an abbreviation for SeMaG, which - in turn - is an abbreviation for "(ספר מצוות גדול; Hebrew: The Great Book of Commandments":
"The "Sefer Mitzvot Gadol" (ספר מצוות גדול; Hebrew: The Great Book of Commandments; abbreviated סמ"ג "SeMaG" )..."
Also, under the heading "BACK TO LETTING OUT AIR" at http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/341845/letting-air-out-of-the-guys-tires.html we find this quote:
"The Sma points out that the Shulchan Aruch mentions both a prohibition as well as a financial obligation to pay in order to highlight that both of these issues are pertinent – it is both a halachic prohibition as well as a financial issue."
And, under point #2 of "SIX POSSIBLE COUNTER ARGUMENTS" at the same link above, we find:
"2. One might also make the argument based upon the Gemorah in Bava Kamma (28a) that a messenger of a Beis Din is even permitted to damage if there is no other way to save an item (See Sma 8:25)."
Lastly, we find, under the heading "Formation and Determination of Hire" at http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0012_0_11999.html the following:
"A right of hire cannot be extinguished by way of waiver alone (see Sma, ḤM 189)."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.59.156.59 (talk) 19:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Many or all of the existing individual episode pages for this series fail notability guidelines, including the notability guidelines for television episodes, and have been tagged accordingly.

thread_title: Comments

message: This is an article about a book, and the book is NOT ABOUT CHAPTER 14 OF GENESIS!!!!! It's about Abraham, and the sources of the Abraham cycle in Genesis. So I've tried to make it more attuned to the book - in fact I think the section abt Genesis 14 should be droppedm entierly, as it's only one chapter out of the about 14 in the book. PiCo 14:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Deleted this section for the reasons set out in my pervious post - the book isn't about ch.14 of Genesis. I'll find this material a home somewhere in Wiki if I can - maybe there's an article on Ch.14 - but no promises. PiCo 00:58, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This part of the article needs revision, as it is is woefully NPOV and out of date.  Not only does it use triumphalist language such as 'Specially devastating' and 'Van Seters easily demonstrated', the book was written around 30 years ago and its conclusions challenged by a significant amount of archaeological evidence and studies since.  Kenneth Kitchen made the case that although Van Seters justifiably objected to certain alleged correlations of the Nuzi and Mari tablets with the Patriarchal era, there was still a significant body of such correlations which could be demonstrated (Kitchen, 'Patriarchal Age: Myth or History' BAR, March/April 1995).  He has also demonstrated a logical case for the confederation of nations in Genesis 14, which should at least be noted in this article.  --Taiwan boi (talk) 00:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additions to the article 

message: The lead section of the article could use some editing. Adding a few more sentences that summarize both parts of "Abraham in History and Tradition" will help give the reader a good overview. It could also help if the reader got a sentence about the author to give context, or any additional background information. 
Also, adding sections for both parts of the book will give clear indication of the organization of the article and make it easier for someone to read through.

message: Page inaccurately states that Great Railroad Chase occured in 1861, not 1862, and does not make connection with capture of Huntsville on April 11, 1862 and the clandestine operation. Page also mistakenly states that the military operation was a "failure" because it did not result in the capture of Chatanooga, when it was a partial success in that Huntsville, a major rail link and armaments manufacturing center was captured. Mitchel's disagreements with Buell and subsequent "kicking upstairs" are also not mentioned, and should be.

message: Putting aside the question of whether hiking the JMT at a fast clip in order to obtain a "record" is a worthwhile endeavor (I see these "record holders" staring at the top of their boots for 211 miles instead of enjoying the scenery), I would like to know where the "Records" section of this article came from. It says that Reinhold Metzger did it "unresupplied" in 5 days 7 Hours 45 minutes (no seconds!) and Kevin Sawchuck did it "resupplied" 3 days 21 hours 5 minutes (again, no seconds!). This section is unsourced. Who clocked Metzger's and Sawchuck's starting times? Who was there to make sure they didn't cut out of the trail at Tome's Place and hitch-hike to Yosemite? I would like to remove this section until such time as somebody can source the brave exploits of speed-hikers Metzger and Sawchuck. Hashaw 16:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As someone who has hiked the JMT and briefly kept up with a group that were fastpacking, I can guarantee no one *could* do the JMT while looking at their shoes. Any hiker that can do that kind of speed will be studying the terrain ahead of themselves, and probably barely needs to look at the trail in front of them: the more you hike, the better your brain gets at unconsciously spotting the best placement for each step and letting your awareness focus on longer-term issues, such as preparing for a sudden change in grade or an ambiguity about which way the trail is going.

Does any one know where I can look for answers to the Virginia Law as to whether a mother has to testify against her son... He abused her and the police were called by the mother but she is not emotionaly able to testify against him she doesn't want to press charges she only wants him to get help for his anger and alcohol problems as well as his deep depression.....Does she have the right to NOT testify.... The prosecutor has turned her statement all around and the young man could be facing two years in proison, what a shame for someone who needs help not jail...I know pushing your mother is a horrible thing to do but there is much more to the story and I am not at liberty to discuss this,Please can someone answer my question? Does she have the right to NOT teatify or Does anyone know of a sit where I might look this kind of info up...
Thank you for your kindness and understanding.
:I think you would be best directing these sort of questions towards some sort of virginian legal aid service. Many regions have legal information hotlines and other similar services. However, if you are set on researching it yourself I can tell you that testimonies are dealt with in the law of evidence as well as the law of civil procedure. I cannot speak for Virginia, but in many jurisdictions of the world you are presumed to be compellable as a witness. Sorry I can't help you more. -PullUpYourSocks 04:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
