Talk:Battle of Edessa

message: This article says Valerian lived after the battle, while according Valerian (emperor) atricle, the emperor was executed after the defeat. Could anyone solve the matter?--Panairjdde 17:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Valerian fate

message: Hello everyone. I'll be blunt and go straight to the point: which sources actually speak of a pitched engagement between Romans and Sassanids, between the official, propagandistic reliefs of the Persian monarchy?
* Eutropius (historian) (living in the 4th century) (Breviarium ab Urbe Condita, IX 7), Festus (4th century) (Breviarium rerum gestarum populi Romani, XXIII), and Aurelius Victor (4th century) (De Caesaribus, XXXII, 5) mention a pitched battle, which was a serious Roman defeat.
* Zosimus (V-VI century) (New History, I, 36.2) says Shapur treacherously ambushed Valerian, asking for a summit in order to treat peace, and actually capturing him.
* John Zonaras (XII century) (Epitome of Histories XII, 23) says Valerian sought a sort of "political asylum" in Persia to escape a plot against him, fuelled by the rage of the soldiers.
Now. Shall not these other sources be included in the article? Where does the latter gets its factual credibility, anyway? I mean, how can be even sure there was a battle anyway. If we do trust the Res Gestae Divi Saporis, it is certain there was a battle; but why should we trust that more than Zosimus (and vice versa)? I hope I've made myself clear. --2.39.115.236 (talk) 18:49, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Drumclog

message: The repression of the extreme Covenanters in the Restoration period was actively carried out by the Scottish Privy Council, and had nothing at all to do with the 'English government.' While I am prepared to conceed that some may celebrate Drumclog as a 'victory for religious freedom', the Covenanters of the day were fighting for no such thing.  Their aim was to deprive everyone else the right to worship in any way that did not correspond to their own purist aims.

Talk:Mike Comrie

message: Alright. Time to try and neutralize this set of WP:BLP and WP:NPOV issues, which are supported by the comments above. Here's what I'm doing and why:
*Changing "approximately half of the money he earned by hitting a series of low-target bonuses placed by Lowe in Comrie's entry-level contract" to "which was part of the bonus money he earned his entry-level contract" - nothing in the cite given (http://www.hockeyforum.com/ottawa-senators/17095-comrie-once-flyer-has-found-his-niche.html) which states the proportion of the bonus or that they represented low targets.
*Moved the element of his being paid $10 million over three years up to the first paragraph for chronological order.
*Noted immediately after the $10 million that this was well over the rookie maximum and used the SI citation (http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1021271/index.htm) to back it up.
*Deleted the $8 million dollar number. No support for this number at all.
*Removed the paragraph starting with "Lowe was forced by Comrie..." altogether. The neutral parts of it have been used elsewhere and the remainder is not from a neutral point of view.
*Used the Yahoo cite (http://fe38.sports.sp1.yahoo.com/nhl/preview?gid=2004030206) to back up the contract dispute phrase in the first paragraph.
*Replaced "The potential trade to Anaheim came as a result of Comrie refusing to sign a new contract with Edmonton in the summer of 2003[10], after his lucrative rookie contract had expired. It ultimately fell through, as Comrie refused to waive half of the bonus money given to him by Lowe for a trade to Anaheim" with "After the deal fell through" and appended it to the end of the paragraph prior. Much simpler and more neutral. 
*Removed the "selfish and pouty" sentence as hearsay and WP:WEASEL.
*Put a  tag behind the "Black Goose" goal song sentence. And yes, I know it's not one of User:68.149.137.181's edits, but it still should have a cite.
With that, I also removed the tags from the top of the article since the issues that caused those tags to be put there in the first place are now gone. Tabercil (talk) 01:51, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

message: It was said by a host of a popular sports radio show in Pittsburgh that Mikes family has plenty of money related to the oil industry.

message: "Wildwood was originally incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 1, 1895, from portions of Middle Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day, and was reincorporated on April 30, 1895. On January 1, 1912, Wildwood was incorporated as a city, replacing both Wildwood borough and Holly Beach City."  So the article says.  This is impossible; the place cannot have been reincorporated the day before it was incorporated.  Perhaps it should read "Wildwood was originally incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 1, 1895, from portions of Middle Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day, April 30, 1895.

message: "His sacred music is masterly and dignified, logical rather than passionate, and free from the sentimentality which disfigures the work of F Durante and GB Pergolesi. His serious operas suffer from a coldness and severity of style, but in his comic operas he shows a keen sense of humour. His ensemble movements are spirited, but never worked up to a strong climax."
The above quote from the article is a 1911 view of the composer; has there been any research or recordings to help reevaluate his music? I know of a few recordings, but have not heard them... --FeanorStar7 18:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
