Talk:Union of Progressive Jews in Germany

message: Three reservations I have about my translation from the German Wikipedia:
First, I didn't translate this line: "1998 erschien eine Pessach Haggada", which should go after the first sentence of the second paragraph. To me this translates as 'In 1998 a Pessach Haggada was published' (literally 'appeared'). It's mainly because I don't know what a Pessach Haggada is, but I couldn't make it make sense.
Secondly, I'm unhappy with the last paragraph, particularly the word 'Gemeinde' which I translated as 'chapters', which appear to be a sub-section of the Union. Again, this is because I didn't know anything about the organisations' bureuacracy.
Thirdly, it seems I don't know how to format full dates (day, month and year) properly. --Last Malthusian 15:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed a few errors and I changed "...National Associations...." to "County Associations" - a "Land" is close to a "County" than a "Nation". I cannot find a better way to describe "Gemiende" either, or for that matter fix the other problems, being a new user myself. Regards  ACH 19:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A Haggadah is a book outlining the ritual to be performed at a Seder on Passover (German Pessach). I changed "chapter" to "congregation" because this is the usual translation of Gemeinde in general and because Reform Jews (in America at least) speak of their groupings as congregations. As for formatting dates, usually month+day (or day+month) should be linked, but individual months and years shouldn't be. Angr/talk 17:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Alfie (1966 film)

message: My recollection (I was 12 when the film was released) is that the film was slammed by critics. Given its eventual status, and if my recollection is correct, then it would be useful to add a section to the article on the 1966 reviews. HairyWombat 04:26, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reviews 

message: A year after the film's release, the abortion act was introduced in parliament in Great Britain (legalising abortions on certain grounds by registered practitioners).     
The abortion scene in Alfie was so harrowing, and showed how absurd the law was (and how it essentially led to underground abortions) - the film must have had some contributing effect to the law being changed. The film became part of the cultural landscape of the 60s.     
Is it possible to somehow add this information? Charliepenandink (talk) 14:28, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Oppenheim

message: The 'fact' that a meteorite impact caused the 1621 fire seems to be erroneous. It was added on March 2, 2009 to the German text, appearently during a good-faith expansion, and then translated to English on June 5, 2009.
I couldn't find any independent source of this bit of information, everything I found on the web was so similar in wording that it's likely a direct copy of the Wikipedia entry. Someone else already removed it from the German text over a year ago stating "Der Meteoriteneinschlag ist frei erfunden, da in der Stadtchronik kein derartiges Ereignis aufgezeichnet ist." (The meteorite impact is an invention, as the town chronicle records no such event.) and a third person reviewed it, so I'm not the only person who doesn't believe in this.
The 1621 fire occured during Spanish occupation (1620-1632). A hobby historian I talked to and who knows Oppenheim's history well opined possibly the fire was started by some bored, drunk soldier; things like that are not unusual in the chaos of occupation. And my grandmother, who has read virtually every book ever written about Oppenheim, but doesn't have internet access, had never heard of this meteorite thing.

Talk:Kočevje

message: This article doesn't really seem integrated and is very confusing. The history of the town should be expanded and the material on the Gottscheer in my opinion requires a separate article. edolen1 17:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The proposal is to split some parts of the article in new articles Kočevje (municipality) (:sl:Občina Kočevje) and Gottscheers (:sl:Kočevarji, see also Gottschee County). The 'History' section should be generalized: it focuses too much on the history of the Gottscheer community and neglects other important aspects - the history of the city itself and its architecture, the Slovene community in the area and the history of the city after the World War II. Compare with the history section of the article :sl:Kočevje in the Slovene Wikipedia. --Eleassar my talk 09:37, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stryi river 

message: Hi all
Just to let you know how to put references in.There are 2 basic types, websites and books
For books, see here
Here is a basic one to use for adding references to websites, you need to put in the details of the website, the date the article was published and it's title, as well as the publisher.
You paste that at the end of the text you are going to reference, and then when you click on Preview, it should show a number instead. The page will automatically be updated and the reference will appear at the bottom of the page
I have done the first one, but the numbers will change if someone puts a ref higher in the page than yours.
Any problems leave me a message and i will try to help !

Japanese romanization rules are quite clear and common now, and there's no reason to use an older scheme to write Hoichi's name in the article (except for the title of the page, I guess, but in that case it's the exact name of a work rather than just common text, and even then it's not exactly what Hearn titled his initial translation).

Talk:Elassona

message: This kind of information can stay as a footnote in the correspondent reference but it does not offer to an encyclopedia any historical information for a reader. I understand that a researcher on Ottoman scripts may find them useful as part of his research but a typical reader finds them completely boring the least. It's also not necessary per wp:MOS.Alexikoua (talk) 00:52, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello @Alexikoua. Yes it can stay in the footnote. Can you add them to footnotes I do not know how to do that. After you do it I will learn it from your edit summary and can start doing it myself in the future. Also can you please add the names or the numbers of the defter. The defter for the Janissaries is called "eşkal". In that defter the names, heights, eye colors, attributes (Scar in face, mole in the hand etc.) etc. are recorded. I see that you changed the defter as estimates. Ottoman documents are not made as estimates at that time it also records the names of the households as well as the names of the unmarried males or widows. These are all for tax reasons. For that reason estimates is not an accurate word. Estimate can be used for travellers who passed here. While you were gone for 2 weeks I was mostly in contact with @Demetrios1993 or @Khirurg as they were following up on most my edits.

message: "Shamash (the Babylonian sun god) is most likely a distorted myth based on Shamsiel."
Considering the Babylonian myth of the sun god Shamash predates the Judaic myth of the angel Shamsiel, would it not be more accurate to say that Shamsiel was the distorted myth based on Shamash?  Or is the article attempting to suggest the actual existence of the angel Shamsiel, on which Shamash is based?
