Talk:Kate Murray

message: This is not a neutral article. Kate Murray has not "recently come out against the Lighthouse Project" as the article purports.  What's more, the article relies on unsubstaniated claims in an attempt to bias all readers of this page.  Any effort to correct and improve this page has been met with hostility and threats.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by Townofhempstead (talk • contribs) 20:14, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Who the hell are you to talk about POV? You're from the Town of Hempstead (Kate Murray's employer)! You're likely Kate Murray herself or a member of her staff (now former member). You people are some of the biggest crooks on the planet. Nothing you say about this article is worthwhile. You have destroyed the quality of life in the Town of Hempstead and driven the Islanders away. And now the ToH has become a corrupt cesspool infested with heroin addicts.

thread_title:  Bias in the Page 

message: While overseeing the "Lighthouse" project, Kate is in the position to dictate what policy is used during the approval process of the project and had thus far made no attempt to move this badly needed project forward, instead falling back on backbenching tactics that reek of desperation by the now disgraced Nassau County GOP. To date, she is on record as being opposed to the project, which will give Nassau County a sorely needed facelift as well as ensuring the New York Islanders will remain on Long Island for generations to come.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boomk1974 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: Surprisingly this article repeats itself exactly at the start of two sections. Both the "Purchase by Brighton" and "Tourism" sections begin with:
"Queen Victoria disliked Brighton and the lack of privacy the Pavilion afforded her on her visits there (especially once Brighton became accessible to Londoners by rail in 1841) and after her last visit to Brighton in 1845, the Government planned to sell the building and grounds. The Brighton Commissioners and the Brighton Vestry successfully petitioned the Government to sell the Pavilion to the town for £53,000 in 1850 under the Brighton Improvement (Purchase of the Royal Pavilion and Grounds) Act 1850"
The former after an opening sentence. Needless to say this should be fixed Gul e (talk) 21:56, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Isaac S. Struble

message: Isaac had a twin sister named Rebecca.  He was the 4th boy among 8 children by his father Isaac the Elder's 2nd wife, Emma Teasdale Struble.  Also he had four half-sibilings from his father's first marriage with Sarah Atkinson who died in 1832.  With James Hammie Struble (an older full brother) Isaac S. formed his law partnership in Le Mars in 1872.
Isaac and Adelaide Ester (Stone) Struble (1846-1929) had children during the years 1875 and 1883.  Their five children were Guy Treat Struble (1875-1949), Dwight Stone Struble (1877-1954), George Freeman Struble (1879-1956), Myrtle Adelaide Struble (1881-1911), and Isaac Irving Struble (1883-1955).
________
When Isaac Struble was first elected to Congress (1882), the principle of rotation in office retained considerable hold in public opinion.  Throughout the 19th century average tenure in the House was only 4-1/4 years.  
But the era of homesteading incumbents would soon begin.  Struble's incoming class of freshmen Congressman (1883-85) was historic as the last class of first-termers to comprise a majority in the House of Representatives.

Talk:Utendi wa Tambuka

message: Thanks for adding this, Babbage. Is this poem available anywhere in Latin script? Also, Swahili says this is the earliest known written literary work in the language; we should add that here (we only say "one of the earliest known documents" at present). I presume there's not a discrepancy (i.e., there are earlier documents in Swahili, but they are not literary works)? — Matt Crypto 21:50, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Brief comparison of three stages in the evolution of the Swahili utendi, a narrative poem so called because of its heroic content (tendi means acts or deeds). The genre developed from the raw energy and superficial religiosity of the Utendi wa Tambuka (Epic of the Battle of Tabuk), dating from 1728, to the sophistication with regard to psychological and moral insight, religious doctrine and artistic form evident in the poem Utenzi wa Vita vya Uhud (Epic of the Battle of Uhud), compiled in the early 1950's.

thread_title: Couple of Qs

message: This is Knappert's Latin transcription, based on the Arabic manuscript:
:Bisimillahi kut̠ubu
:yina la Mola Wahhabu
:Arraḥamani eribu
:na Arraḥimu ukyowa
:Ḥimid̠i nd̠akwe D̠ayyani
:Mukaafu Mwenye šani

:jit̠ahid̠i kuṣallia
:Kumuḥimid̠i Jabbari
:ndilo jawabu h̠iari
:na kuṣallia Basiri
:ni jawabu afudaa
Unfortunately, Knappert (1977) contains only the first six strophes in Swahili; the rest of that book is a translation in Dutch making use of the original meter. Knappert (1958) contains a more literal, prozaic translation as well as the full text in Swahili; I'll see if I can get hold of that one. Knappert (1977) does have a general introduction on the history of this epic, so I think I could expand the article a little based on that. — mark ✎ 11:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: First few strophes, from Knappert 1977

message: The name Utend̠i wa Tambuka is a Latin transcription of the Arabic title, but Utenzi wa Tambuka seems to be another quite common name (as was already noted by Babbage). Does anyone think we should move it to that title, or is it just fine as it is? — mark ✎ 14:18, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Love in Excess; or, The Fatal Enquiry

message: My goodness!  I don't know where the text came from, but there are some howlers.  I apologize to the good natured and hard working people who put the article together, but the 1720's were dominated by novels by women, and the plot of the novel is only a mildly arched eyebrow compared to some of the narratives from contemporary women.  There were many, many, many novels by women before and after, and the remarkable thing is when men began writing novels (as with Defoe in 1724).  Again, I apologize for seeming meanspirited in my criticism, but it's just factually wrong to say either that this is the most famous Heywood novel or that it is a striking example of one of the earliest novels by a woman.  Geogre 21:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes and no. Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719, so saying that the remarkable thing was when men began writing novels after the woman-dominated 1720s is odd. (Granted, you didn't necessarily mean only the 1720s, but Jonathan Swift, for example, was writing since the beginning of the century.) In addition, this book is rather sexually explicit, warranting, I think, the word "scandalous" (especially comparing it to, say, her tame pro-marriage later books) is warranted. zafiroblue05 | Talk 01:11, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Again, let me apologize for being harsh.  This is my field, so I can be cantankerous.  I agree that the novel is explicit, although Behn had been more explicit prior.  Swift had been writing since '96, but the "novel," whatever it is (and every definition fails that I've ever seen) is mercurial.  Women were surely writing, is my point, and writing long fictions.  I consider Betsy Thoughtless, by the way, to be a wretched affair, and I prefer Heywood in her explicit, rakish, and anti-Whig mode, but I did have to insert a change or two to de-fang the "one of the earliest" bits and the "most famous novel."  I wish Betsy Thoughtless weren't the most famous novel.  I think it's a joke.  However, it generates many more hits on the periodical literature search than Love in Excess.

Talk:George R. Struble

message: George Struble's advocacy of prohibition was part of a powerful cultural upsurge known to history as the temperance movement.  It culminated in the 18th Amendment to the Constitution.  Herbert Hoover later described it as a noble experiment that failed.  
The 18th Amendment to the Constitution (1919-1933) was unique in a number of ways.  From the standpoint of U.S. Constitutional history it stands out as follows: (1) It was the first amendment to be specifically abrogated by a subsequent amendment.  (2) The 21st Amendment of 1933, which repealed the 18th Amendment, was the first and to date the only amendment to be ratified by state ratifying conventions, as per Article V of the Constitution.

Talk:Keith Sebelius

message: Sebelius, by its suffix, would appear Dutch, Lithuanian or Finnish.  Does anyone know of his ethnicity? Dogru144 (talk) 01:13, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: His ethnicity?

message: I read in the article:
:In October 1969 he asked for his name to be removed from a letter to President Richard Nixon asking for him to not rule out all military options in gaining peace with honor due to the North Vietnamese viewing it as a call of immediate surrender.
I couldn't make sense of this. It was sourced. I looked in the source. The source too was hard for me to understand, but eventually I thought I understood, and I reworded to:
:In October 1969 he asked for his name to be removed from a letter to President Richard Nixon asking Nixon to point out to the North Vietnamese that the US would not rule out any military option in gaining peace with honor, due to the North Vietnamese viewing it as a call for immediate surrender.
I'm not entirely confident that I got this right. Some other editor(s) should read the source, and think. The editor should preferably be familiar with the letter (which I haven't seen) -- although it's imaginable that Sebelius disagreed with a draft that differed in some way from what was eventually sent, or that a misunderstanding arose in a hurried phone call, or any number of other complications. 
If I did understand correctly, then my version is still confusing. I'd be inclined to reword it as something like:
:In October 1969 he asked for his name to be removed from a letter to President Richard Nixon asking Nixon to point out to the North Vietnamese that the US would not rule out any military option in gaining peace with honor, as Sebelius feared that the North Vietnamese would view the letter as a call for immediate surrender and thus dismiss it out of hand.
But I'm reluctant to tinker any further. -- Hoary (talk) 00:17, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edits 

message: There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Ven. Ajahn Maha Boowa is widely regarded within Thailand (and even beyond) to be an Ariya (a Buddhist saint), and indeed, is possibly the most well known and respected Buddhist monk living in Thailand today. As an informed Theravadan Buddhist - I have been serving as president of the Buddhist Society of Western Australia for the past four years - I can only assume that this original posting of this article on the "Devadatta Incident" is intentionally derogatory and/or containing an overtly political intention and message. I agree with the above (anonymous) poster that the article as it is originally constituted is plainly ridiculous.
Whilst I am not an expert on Ajahn Maha Boowa's life, I feel duty bound to make very substantial changes to this article in order to reflect a more balanced biographical reflection on his life. 
And finally, I think that the redirection from "Ajahn_Maha_Boowa" to "Luang_Ta_Maha_Boowa" is the wrong way around. Whilst in the Thai it may sound more honorific to refer to senior monks as "Luang Por" (implying reverence, like "Venerable Father"), and he often refers to himself as "Luang Ta" (implying slight derision, "Venerable Old Man"), senior monks in the Thai tradition are most often referred to in English as "Ajahn" (literally "teacher"). For the sake of consistency, I believe that the redirection should be working the other way around.
