Talk:Nicknames of politicians and personalities in Quebec

message: I`ve added this bit to duplessis entry (le chef):
"It should be noted however that he apparently refered to himself in that way."
This come from an anecdote told to me by my grand-father (an union organiser). After some incident with the government, he received a phone call from one of Duplessis' aide. After saying that maybe a compromise could be reached, he ensure my grand-father that this came "from the leader himself" to which my grand-popa sarcasticaly replied "whose leader"?. The aide then (apparently confuse) said "Bin, le chef ! le chef !" [well, the leader, the leader]
What this show is that even people around him seemed to have use the word almost as a title of deferance.--Marc pasquin 02:51, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

message: There are a few obvious Quebec personalities not listed here, who were or have been in the news as politicians for sufficiently long enough that I might have expected nicknames to be invented for them: Jean Drapeau, Bernard Landry, Claude Ryan, and Stéphane Dion.  (I know Dion in particular is a favourite of editorial cartoonists, so I would think nicknames have been devised.) --Saforrest 07:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Proposed update of MediaWiki:Tagline

message: I seem to be arriving rather late in the day. Thank you for the invitation but I do not come bearing gifts of sample pages as requested. Because any material may be altered, whether for the better or worse, at any time, any given number of innocent readers may view a page before the next edit takes place. Hence, the focus of attention should always be on the disclaimer to guard against the possibility that even one reader accesses the page while errors are on display. I see no point in making prominent some form of advertising slogan about Wiki being a free source of information created by all-comers. Since the policy here is not to lock pages once a good 'pedia standard has been reached (the presumption against further additions could be rebutted for cause), the need is to warn naive users in the clearest possible terms of the dangers in accepting any page as giving reliable information. -David91 19:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Apologies

message: I have two short observations:
the point I was making earlier was ethical. I believe that, in default of a policy to freeze pages of an appropriate standard, this 'pedia has a moral duty to warn all users that the information on display may be corrupted or wrong. Those of you who are Admin spend much of your time firefighting vandalism and policing petty edit wars that frequently skew the informational content so the failure to put a clear warning in the heading is indefensible;
although I have only been here a short time, I find the assertion that this is a collaborative venture misleading. Almost without exception, all my edits or the edits I have responded to have been made without prior consultation. That a group of independent people happen to be working on the same project and, occasionally, on the same page is not a collaboration. A collaboration is a form of partnership where people actively co-operate to achieve common goals. On two occasions where I signaled my wish to collaborate, i.e. agree content on the discussion page before amending text, I received abuse and withdrew. Too many editors feel that their intellectual territory is being invaded when outsiders offer assistance, hence the edit wars. -David91 05:57, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That has certainly not been my experience. Wikipedia is the greatest collaborative effort I have ever participated in. There are some occasional quarrels, but on the whole we get along very well. I also do not think that Wikipedia has any "moral duties". Wikipedia does not lie about what it is. Everyone can form his or her personal opinion on the value of the content without having it painted on their nose by a legalistic disclaimer. Sure, some people are stupid, but that's their prerogative. — David Remahl 10:45, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Imperial anthems of the Ottoman Empire

message: Had to do a complete rewrite on this article.  Not only did it need a cleanup as per the previous template, but, after doing some research, I found that the lyrics on the page don't seem to have been used as an Ottoman anthem at all!  (They may not have even been around during the Ottoman days, but I haven't definitively placed the year yet.)
If the original poster can *please* give some more information about their sources (I appreciate the reference to my site but please at least add a link to the proper page on my site!) this page and all its viewers would be grateful!  (I coudln't even find those lyrics at berberber.com, as claimed!) --Canuckguy 04:20, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

message: On 23:37, 24 September 2005, 70.26.146.38 seems to have simply added to this page some lyrics in Turkish (after the stub links as well, stubs properly go on the bottom), with no information as to what they are.  70.26.146.38, please contribute some more information on this, a search from my part tells me that an alternate name of this song is the Mehter Marşı, leading me to believe that it was an anthem for a ruler possibly nicknamed "Mehter" (but I coudln't find any like that in Ottomon history of the last 100 years of its existence, when an anthem was most likely).
Here are the snipped lyrics, for those who are curious:
CEDDİN DEDEN
Ceddin deden, neslin baban Hep kahraman Türk milleti Orduların, pekçok zaman Vermiştiler dünyaya şan.
Türk milleti, Türk milleti Aşk ile sev milliyeti Kahret vatan düşmanını Çeksin o melun zilleti.
Hüseyni İsmail Hakkı Bey'''
--Canuckguy 22:40, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ceddin Deden 

message: Well, correct me if I am wrong, but the way I percieve the lyrics the english translation should be;
(seek) Your ancestors, your grandfathers, your generation, your father
Turkish nation have always been valiant,
Your armies, many times
Have been renowned throughout the world
-
Turkish nation, Turkish nation
Passionately love (your) freedom
Overwhelm the enemies of your (free) motherland
And make that cursed ones feel abjected

message: From what I gather, Spy Smasher lapsed into public domain before DC Comics got around to licensing and later purchasing the character.
