thread_title: Untitled

message: This entire article was a word-for-word copy of three different sources
* (a) Guide to Jordanian Culture, http://www.bourse-des-voyages.com/jordanie/guide-culture-peintres-muhanna-al-durra.php
* (b) Mathaf Encyclopedia of Modern Art and the Modern World, http://www.encyclopedia.mathaf.org.qa/en/bios/Pages/Mohanna-Durra.aspx
* (c) World Book Library, Online: http://www.worldebooklibrary.net/Articles/Muhanna%20Al-Dura?&Words=Jordanian%20art
Some of these sources were used as references, but some were not cited at all. Accordingly, I have changed some of the wording and integrated the preceding references where appropriate. In addition, I have added new material with references to avoid any potential allegations of copyright violations.  BronHiggs (talk) 02:08, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't speak to the other two, but "World Book Library" is one of about a hundred domains used by "The World Heritage Encyclopedia" to directly mirror Wikipedia content. They provide attribution on the page, but it's a little obscure (see the "citational source" link on that page). Kuru (talk) 12:02, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks. That's fine. This painter was not easy to research as a lot of the sources were in Arabic and only a few were in English (or one of the languages with which I am familiar). My main concern was to expand the article, change the existing prose and add new references so as avoid any possible allegation of copyright violation. That has been done. The content in question is not controversial and appears in multiple references, but sadly I have never been able to figure out how to use the same reference twice without invoking citation errors.  Thus, I cannot use one of the other refs for this paragraph. The "cn" tag will have to stay until someone else can find an appropriate source for the content.

Being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official or even prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements, and more often it is impossible to verify. I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Will Beback · † · 08:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Omar Karami

message: From the article:
...until May 13, 1992, when he resigned after massive protests orchestrated by Rafic Hariri, who had the largest capital in Lebanon, and had converted all his money into US dollars, causing the Lebanese currency to collapse, and the blame to fall on Karami, so he would be prime minister in Karami's place.
I have been unable to find any evidence to support this story.
Rafiq Hariri gained the office through the corruptive influence of Saudi Arabia & Syria, as well as what I see to be his perfectly legitimate history of patronage of Lebanese causes.
I recommend it be removed unless some other evidence is found. 
The addition of this sentence, nearly verbatim, has been undone as vandalism before. Perhaps it would be better classified as "disputed".

message: So I’m still confused. Pluto is currently cited as being “precovered” in 1909: meaning (in 2000) photos from 1909 showing Pluto were “uncovered”. So what do you call the “discovery” in 2000 of the “precovery”? 
And what about earlier (discovery of precovery) events?  When was the “first” discovery of a pre-1930 photo of Pluto; I suspect it was c1950?
It seems “precover” can occur several times: anyone want to use “re-precover” (as in re-discover)?

Talk:Al-Hadid

message: I agree with Bannon. Number patterns in the Quran have no meaning. It may be fun to explore, but that is as far as it goes, there is no secret knowledge or insight than can be gained from seaching for patterns or finding them. As far as I know, the arrangement of the Quran its self was not something that the Prophet (PBUH) did; it was arranged the way it is by the companions, roughly from largest to smallest, with similar Surah's grouped together. Thus, there is little significance to any connections made to the number or position of Surahs.
Even if for some reason numberology is accepted, it does not work in this case. The "contributor" states that the atomic number of iron is 26, and that it occurs in the 26th verse of this Surah, if you count the "basmallah". Regretfully, in the numbering of Surah's, "basmallah" is not included. Pick up any Quran and you will see that the verse that mentioned iron is number 25, not 26!
FYI: Basmallah (saying "Bismillah Arrahman Arrahim") is said at the beginning of every Surah in the Quran, except for Surah At-Toubah (number 9). However, it is considered a verse only in the first Surah of the Quran (first verse of Surah Al-Faiha) and Surah 26 (verse 30 of Surah An-Naml). 
Therefore, I will delete the numerology portion.
