Talk:Siege of Constantinople (717–718)

message: It will be the 1300th anniversary of the lifting of the siege in about two months and a half.  This ought to merit mention on Wikipedia's front page. (Note that the fall of Constantinople to the Turks is mentioned today.)—VAN-ST (talk) 17:46, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Why hello there, my name is Sir Flemeingtonz, and I would like to humbly request that we change the infobox’s image of the article from a boring diagram with little to do with the siege, to something more interesting. A few suggestions could be a miniature of the siege from an illunimated manuscript, or artwork of the siege, ect. This equally applies for the Siege of Constantinople (674–678).

message: It is funny that Western historians have no problem estimating  the Arab army with 200,000 men and 5,000 ships in this battle because the Byzantines were the ones who won, but they cry like children when they estimate the Yarmouk army. I have an Arab source that mentions that Jund al-Sham did not exceed 30,000 soldiers accompanied by a force of 20,000 Mujahideen in this siege But who cares about a source written by a brown-skinned person?

I wanted them for my project so I could present the Greek, Bulgar, and Arab sides all respectively and equally.

message: As I removed the prod notice that was recently placed on this article, I am hereby explaining my reasoning. The article certainly needs referencing improvements to be brought up to contemporary wikistandards, I'll certainly agree with that -- however, the article is not entirely unreferenced as it already stands, and the relative lack of sourcing is not because quality references about him don't exist, but because the article was created in 2005 when referencing standards weren't even close to what they are now.
Furthermore, as an experienced administrator, I have to point out that anonymous IPs who nominate pages for deletion do tend to raise red flags. While it's true that the nomination may have been made in good faith, there's also a long history on Wikipedia of anonymous nominations that were backed by ulterior motives (especially when they're made by anonymous editors whose nominations display far more knowledge of Wikipedia policy and procedure than they could credibly be expected to have, given a history with less than 20 total edits in it.) 
Accordingly, I've added the  tag to the article instead, because it does need improvement, but it is not a valid candidate for prod. Bearcat (talk) 04:36, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I heard that a girl was murdered there 30 years ago.

i am aware the reserve has a reputation for both gay culture and attacks, but it is still an important enough reserve and noticeable enough to deserve an article. perhaps if someone in the know could mention more about the vegetation or birds? I read somewhere theres over 150 species but aren't THAT sure. also more on the saltworks and house would be good, the most here is based on information gotten from plaques at the site.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Tommstein/Evidence

message: I posted this here earlier today, however, I feel I should bring this point here for discussion:
:Apparently user:Tommstein has been indefinately banned by wiki Admin User:NicholasTurnbull.  While I agree with this ban, I recommend that this arbration continue, with Tomm's involvement, as it is not his behavior alone that is noted in the above RFA.  I find it odd that user:Central has failed to give any statement beyond his malicious comments found below in  Krich's statement  .Additionally I think that ArbCom support, or denyal, of Administrator Turnbull's actions would be in order so that there can be no question in Tomm's, or anyone elses, minds as to exactly why disciplinary action is taken (if it comes to further (or affirmation of) disciplinary action).

Can operators place proprietary applications on smart cards, and are there any standards about how to start and interact with these applications? For instance, as the "phone book application" seems to work with all phone books, there seems to be a common approach to run smart card applications. In which language are these applications usually written?

99.164.123.146 (talk) 00:26, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The 1965 dedication program for the original Brotherhood Bridge states that the river was first bridged so that miners could reach properties along Montana Creek.  Coincidentally, that specific vicinity appears to be one of the major areas of Juneau's more recent community expansion (past quarter century or so), such expansion hampered as much by the boundaries of Tongass National Forest and the political process involved as by physical barriers.  During the early 20th century, the area between Sunny Point and the mouth of the Mendenhall River (called Glacier River in the aforementioned dedication program, though I'm not sure if that's been acknowledged anywhere on here), plus a few areas near the river's banks, were mostly occupied by dairy farms and scattered rural residences.  Kendler's, the best known of these dairies, formed the basis of the Juneau International Airport/Nugget Mall area.  The valley probably started to hit its stride as a population center somewhere square in the middle of the 20th century.  I would have to recheck census data to see when it overtook Juneau proper, but it's always contained the bulk of Juneau's population in my fairly long memory.

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article.  cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 03:40, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
