Talk:New Mexico Territory

message: Does anyone know why New Mexico remained a territory for so long, particularly since there was an organized statehood movement as early as 1850 that was apparently stymied only because of disputes over slavery? --Jfruh (talk) 03:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The map in the infobox is dated 1866, and includes the Gadsden purchase, which occurred in 1866- *after* Arizona Territory had been split from New Mexico Territory, and so includes areas that were never a part of New Mexico Territory.

Talk:Harris Wofford

message: Interesting story:
:The U.W.F. movement started in a bathtub, roughly speaking, some seven years ago. Harris Wofford, a student at an eastern high-school, heard Clarence Streit (author of "Union Now") over the radio, while bathing. Inspired by Streit's plea for a supra-national government, Wofford leaped out of the tub and proceeded to form an organization known as the Student Federalists. But it wasn't until after the San Francisco Conference in 1945 that the campaign for One World began to give off steam. - The Harvard Crimson, Mar. 11, 1949. Rad Racer | Talk 19:32, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Are recipients of honorary degrees typically considered alumni of the institution that granted those degrees? Wofford is very famously an alumnus of Howard University, so it is kind of misleading to see the Elizabethtown College alumni category listed.

Talk:Malted milk

message: Stage blood?  Googling doesn't seem to turn up a recipe or reference.  Even if it were verifiably true, it seems like it would be of more interest to those viewing a Stage Blood topic.  Update, I did find references/recipes using Condensed Milk, which the author of the comment seems to have confused with malted milk.  The thick liquid consistency of condensed milk makes more sense as a fake blood ingredient, malted milk I suspect would prove too powdery/gritty to be of any use...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.114.158.146 (talk) 08:02, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Map of Israel? 

message: I live in Cincinnati, Oh, and today they announced a new sister city in India. While recounting the previous sister cities, they didn't mention Netanya, Israel, and it is not mentioned on the Cincinnati article either. As a result, we have an inconsistency between this article and the Cincinnati one. 
Checking the Cincinnati sister cities website (http://www.cincinnatisistercity.org/) they do not mention Netanya as a sister city. 
Please address this inconsistency.

thread_title:  Is Cincinnati, Ohio a sister city? 

message: I am very surprised to see The Sergeants affair, credited as being the most significant single action that brought around the end of the British Mandate in Palestinehttp://www.flowersinisrael.com/fieldtrip2010_1_29_Net_Sergeant.htm, is not mentioned in the Netanya article or in the Even Yehuda article.  However one sees the event, murder or justified execution, it is undeniably important and should not be ignored in the history of Netanya/Even Yehuda.  I hope that the omission is not an attempt to sanitize history.  The Sergeants Grove is jointly maintained in a spirit of reconciliation to this day by the National Jewish Fund and the city councilhttp://www.flowersinisrael.com/fieldtrip2010_1_29_Net_Sergeant.htmhttp://www.jnf.org/.
I would welcome views (especially from the original author) before I add a few lines to either or both of the Netanya and Even Yehuda articles.  I will, of course, try to use suitably neutral terminology as far as possible.

thread_title:  The Sergeants affair 

message: I've removed the "lit., "God gave"" since it's just inaccurate at best. נְתַנְיָה is a female form of נָתָן, which just means "he/it gave". 
"God gave" seems to have been a disimprovement sometime over the originally claimed meaning "gift of God" added by user Yoninah (who did not list Hebrew as one of her spoken languages) in 2012. That in turn would have been a confusion with Elnathan (see here). — 84.163.105.13 (talk) 10:52, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

message: The section "Later Developments and Death" is absolutely against one of the 3 prime rules of Wikipedia - neutrality. How can you say "Within twenty years Frederick's grandson would also be dead and the world would sigh with relief at the end of the ambitions of the House of Hohenstauffen." on the article about one of the treacherous and willing to use religious power to put the worldly leaders to their knees popes throughout the history? How can you say that Europe "sigh with relief" after the illegal execution of a 16 years old boy ? 
Another thing - "Nonetheless, when Conrad died in May 1254 the Pope recognized the hereditary claims of his son, Conradin. Manfred at first submitted to papal authority adn the pope met with him in Naples in October 1254. This appears to have been a ruse concocted by Manfred or his advisors." What? Steven Runciman in "The Sicilian Vespers" for example states that "When the Pope crossed the river Garigliano into the Kingdom on 11 October, Manfred came to meet him  and walked beside him leading his horse. But meanwhile the Pope's nephew, Cardinal William dei Dieschi, led the papal army southward, demanding oaths of allegiance with omitted all reference to Conradin..." /that's in 1254/ .

Talk:Brazilian cuisine

message: This Wikipedia page contains a wealth of important information but lacks historical context and religious significance. The purpose of this section will be to explain how the religious backgrounds have contributed to the creation of iconic Brazilian dishes such as aracaje. To elaborate on the impact of Candomble's religion on the dish, I will refer to a secondary source titled “African Diaspora in Brazil: History, Culture and Politics”. This secondary source is reliable because it is from a book written by Dr. Fassil Demissie, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. In addition, I will elaborate on other dishes that were created in response to this particular religion and culture, such as Bolinhos de Jesus. To give the reader a deeper understanding of the time period during which these dishes were created, I intend to include specific dates of when the enslaved individuals arrived in Brazil. I will also provide a more detailed explanation of how rice and beans became so popular in Brazil, utilizing another secondary source entitled “With Grains in Her Hair: Rice in Colonial Brazil”. This secondary source is written by Dr. Judith Carney of UCLA’s geography department. My final edits will summarize the contributions these dishes have made to Brazilian culture and history. You are welcome to comment on my edits and make comments on this talk page. (Halsey10 (talk) 04:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The article already talks about Brazilian food having influences from all peoples. But we have rules here, such as undue weight in the article (Wikipedia:WEIGHT): Brazilian cuisine is not limited to black people or the Northeast. It has strong European (German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, etc.), Middle Eastern (Lebanese, etc) and Asian (Japanese, Chinese, etc) influences. Also, if you want to talk specifically about history, you would need to create another article.

thread_title: Split needed?

message: Swapped the order of  masthead (publication) definitions. merriam-webster and wordsmyth both cite the list of staff, publishers, etc as the only definition. The dictionary loaded onto my machine (New Oxford American Dictionary) lists both. 
Googling several of the world's biggest magazines, they have all listed their staff under their masthead, not their title (eg the name TIME) or the design of that title (using a handlettered serif font with red fill).
Google search: Time magazine masthead brings up a list of their staff.
Google search: National Geographic magazine masthead does likewise.
You may repeat the search exercise with the world's leading publications for similar results.
I will concede that the design of the logo on the front page of a newspaper is sometimes called the masthead, and I have not removed it from your definition, but for accuracy, the commonly accepted publishing definition of a masthead should be referenced first, and the management jargon definition second. 6pttype 20:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Adolphe Wurtz

message: I edited several parts of the article.  I removed a reference to the Puerto Rican independence leader Betances.  To say that Betances was one of Wurtz's students is to imply that Betances was an important chemist, for no other students of Wurtz are mentioned in the article (and indeed Wurtz had several students who became very prominent chemists).  Yes, Betances heard Wurtz's lectures, but he took Wurtz's chemistry course only because he needed it for his medical degree.  It is therefore not very relevant to this brief article, and is in fact misleading.  I also removed a statement that Wurtz was of German extraction.  Again, this is true, but misleading, for it implies that some of Wurtz's near forebears were German, and they were not.  It is true in the sense that all native Alsatians have German forebears, if you go back far enough.  So I added a couple of sentences on this matter in the Life section.
