message: I am adding Timor-Leste to the list because:
a) The constitution of Timor-Leste (http://timor-leste.gov.tl/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Constitution_RDTL_ENG.pdf) states that Portuguese and Tetum are official languages and English and Indonesian are official working Languages.
B) The University of Laval (https://www.axl.cefan.ulaval.ca/asie/timor-1_situation.htm) states that 85% of the population speaks Tetum, 45 % speaks Indonesian, 30% speaks Portuguese, and 15% speaks English & Hamid, Nguyen and Baldauf (https://books.google.com.br/books?id=Tee9CgAAQBAJ&pg=PA113&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false) state that 77.8% of the population speaks, reads and writes Tetum, 55.6 % speaks, reads and writes Indonesian, 39.3% speaks, reads and writes Portuguese, and 22.3% speaks, reads and writes English.
I am adding it to the "Countries where English is a de jure official language" list, but feel free to make the necessary adaptations and color to the map "Nations in which English is an official language (de facto or de jure)".

thread_title:  11 days... 

message: I found it unsatisfying that the 'Death' section ends with a lawsuit filed in 2012, with no outcome. According to the decision linked below, the Hartwell's filed a lawsuit against both the Dunn estate and the bar that the two had been drinking at before the accident. Both defendants filed preliminary objections that were sustained by the court (i.e. sorry Hartwell's, nope). The Hartwell's filed an appeal in the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, which affirmed the original decision (i.e. sorry again Hartwell's).
I can't find a link to the original trial court decision.

Talk:Meghna River

message: A River system is different from a River. The Surma-Meghna river system consists of several different rivers. I've reverted the move to the Surma-Meghna River system because of this. This article is about the river and NOT the river system. The Surma-Meghna River system would definitely be a related article which we can include in "See also" section of this article. For precedent from other encyclopedias, see Banglapedia. That has a parent article for the River system, and also individual, detailed articles for each river. --Ragib 17:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that there is enough information to warrant three, five or seven articles.  When there is we can create them.  The root article, as you suggested in comparison with the Banglapedia, would seem to be the first one to be written.  Read the article as it now stands and let me know what you think? --Bejnar 17:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The rewrite you made here is more suitable for the parent article, as indicated below. The old version before the rewrite is suitable for the article on Meghna. Please create the parent article and do the summary style overview of the system there, rather than merging all rivers into a huge article. Thanks. --Ragib 18:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

text: We will have those articles when we write them.  Right now we have enough in the Wikipedia article for the parent article.  Some of the material in the Banglapedia is questionable and conflicts with data in academic publications such as Mannan, Abdul (2002) "Stratigraphic evolution and geochemistry of the Neogene Surma Group, Surma Basin, Sylhet, Bangladesh" University of Oulu, Oulu, Bangladesh.  Let us have both.  I am creating a new river system page, and will strip out the non-Meghna stuff here.  Is that agreeable? --Bejnar 18:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Arabs of Khuzestan

message: I suggest merging with Iranian Arabs because there are Arabs outside Khuzestan in places such as Bandar Abbas and of course in Tehran, Isfahan, and other places. The current article title implies a kind of separatist identity or distinct identity from other Iranian Arabs and there is evidence to back that up, so it is POV and WP:OR. Khorshid 03:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I oppose. Ahwazi Arabs have a unique culture - tribes, language, origin - that is distinct from Arabs in other parts of Iran, although forced displacement has seen relocations to other provinces. I suggest the article be renamed Ahwazi Arabs, as this is commonly known in the media.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 01:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're back! Thats great yakhi. Hope you stay out of trouble this time. Unfortunately your claims are incorrect. Do you have any sources to show that Khuzestani Arabs are culturally distinct from other Arabs in Iran? Your second point will never happen, not only because your claim is incorrect, but because the term "Ahwazi" as an ethnicity is a nationalist invention. The real Ahwazis are people from the city of Ahwaz. Its not an ethnic term. BTW no news sources uses the term "Ahwazi Arab" - the only ones are those who support or receive information from the exile separatists like Tatchell, UNPO, and I think one report from Amnesty. A source from your professor friend at Shaw is not good enough either. Its an invention, and you will never find any shred of proof that Khuzestani Arabs even identify with this invented term. I don't think you've even been to Khuzestan (where are you from, Iraq?) so this is not surprising that you believe everything you read on the Internet. Anyway the article on Iranian Arabs will have enough room to deal with each Arabic-speaking group. Keeping the article at the current title is pandering to separatism and nationalism promoted by exile groups pretending to represent Khuzestani Arabs. We don't allow that kind of propaganda here.

Talk:Chokhmah

message: Chokmah is the highest of the sephirot attainable by mortals, King Solomon is the most obvious example in the Hebrew Bible of a man whose wisdom brought him closer to God.
Balderdash . "Chokmah" (why is that word spelled like that, by the way?) is not the highest s'firah attainable by mortals. Let's take a look at Exodus (35:30-31), shall we? 
:"And Moses said to the Children of Israel: See, God has called by name B'tzalel son of Uri son of Chur from the tribe of Judah. And He (God) has filled him (B'tzalel) with Godly spirit in Chochmah, in T'vunah (Binah), and in Da'at, and in all work.
This is one of the myriad examples of people in the Bible with more than "Chokma". 
P.S. Even King Solomon had "Chokmah" and Binah. Let's look at Kings I (3:12): 
:"... [B]ehold, I have given you a wise (Chochom, indicating "Chokmah) and understanding (Navon, indicating Binah) heart."

message: My response was apparently beyond the scope of the RfC, and I apologize to anyone who had to read it. I still believe, however, that both the words and the principles of the deletion policy contemplate that the nominator has an obligation to make a determination that deletion is appropriate by looking at the subject.  So when people say that no policy was violated, I feel the need to speak up.  I see now that the forum may have been the wrong choice, even though it appears to me that Neutrality, in good faith, violated the policy as I see it.  Since I am not proposing (or even endorsing) the RfC, perhaps a talk page somewhere would be a better choice.

I've read through the article and think that adding a section on Marx's ontology (and in particular his doctoral dissertation) could help frame some of the other concepts in the article.

thread_title:  Making Clarifications and adding a section on Marx's ontology 

message: As it stands, the overview only seems to describe vulgar Marxism and is likely to be misleading. While I get the need for simplicity, it seems like a problem to offer as simple and uncontroversial something rejected by almost all contemporary Marxists (ie, economism / determinism). It seems to me that not the materialist conception of history but the analysis of capital & the production of surplus value should anchor this section. It’s both far more comprehensively presented by Marx and closer to something like the consensus view than the ever-controversial problems of base & superstructure, etc. 2603:7000:3E00:38DE:301D:7EBF:245F:E498 (talk) 02:39, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
