Talk:Jean Meslier

message: The well-known quote:
"I would like, and this would be the last and most ardent of my wishes, I would like the last of the kings to be strangled by the guts of the last priest"
is often attributed to Meslier; it does not appear in his Testament, however, and is completely atypical of his style.
:This is not quite true, because in his "Testament" Meslier actually refers to a man who 
:"wished that all the bigwigs of the earth and all noblemen should be hanged and strangled with the bowels of the priests." 
:(ch. II, my transl. from the German transl., 1st ed. 1976, which is based on the critical French complete edition, 1970-1972)
:In German:
:"Dies erinnert mich an den Wunsch, den ein Mann einmal äußerte, (...). Er wünschte, dass all die Großen der Erde und alle Adligen mit den Gedärmen der Priester erhängt und erwürgt werden sollten."

thread_title: Quote

message: Both English and French Wikipedia cite Meslier's year of birth as 1664; they disagree, however, over the date - the former puts it at 15 January and the latter at 15 June. On the other hand, the website marxists.org that includes the English translation of Meslier's works and testament claims he was born in 1678. However, it seems that the year of death cited on that site (1733) is wrong, since French Wikipedia includes a reference that proves he died between June 27 and July 7, 1729. --Rastko Pocesta (talk) 07:36, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/jguk 2/Proposed decision

message: Normally you should use plain numbers for years in the Common Era, but when events span the start of the Common Era, use AD or CE for the date at the end of the range....
Just a brief comment on the above. This is broadly correct. However normal academic usage is that subjects with dates exclusively in the first century often do use date qualifiers (AD or CE) for the avoidance of doubt (perhaps tis is true of al dates in antiquity). (In WP an editor may have come from an article spanning eras to one that does not - and to be met with '47' without qualification may be confusing.) My reason for raising this is that User:jguk was involved in an edit war on precisely this issue: he removed AD/CE qualifiers from Josephus (an article which he had never previously edited). After further discussion, most others agreed that either AD or BC was needed on that occasion, despite the fact that the events were solely in the CE/AD era. If the text of this Arbcom decision stands, it would seem to vindicate User:jguk against the views of other editors in that article (both those who favoured AD and those who favoured CE). (See further the discussion at the bottom of Talk:Josephus - reponse to an RfC.) I think Arbcom may be in danger of being inadvertantly over specific, and I would suggest modifying the wording to:
Normally you should use plain numbers for years in the Common Era, however, some exceptions may exit, particularly when events span the start of the Common Era, use AD or CE for the date at the end of the range....
That would make clear that spanning the eras may not be the only exception to the ‘plain numbers rule’ – whilst leaving the precise exceptions to be determined by subject expertise in particular articles. Doc ask? 00:28, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to mention that 47 CE or AD 47 looks more like a date, and reads better, rather that just an unadorned 47. Sortan 00:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

In addition to learning literature, he learned calligraphy techniques under the supervision of calligrapher Mirza Alinqi. Because primary education could not respond to his rich taste and abundant interest, that's why he entered Tabriz's Talebiyyah school and studied Arabic literature, transferable sciences, jurisprudence and principles, and from 1297 to 1304, he was engaged in learning various Islamic knowledge.

replies: text: Milan Obrenović II, Prince of Serbia →  – To make it more consistent with his father and brother, both moved earlier this year. This would be similar to how the Serbian language version of Wikipedia names the page.They simply use prince in brackets but we'd use the proper, formal title. The problem with the current name, which was also an issue for his father and brother, is the lack of sources for the bizarre ordinals. This is not how they're remembered in Serbian and regional historiography and that is reflected in sources and the Serbian version of the Article. He had a cousin who was also called Milan and was also Prince of Serbia but the cousin became king so ambiguity is generally not an issue. Killuminator (talk) 14:16, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

text: Neutral - I supported the resulting titles in both of the RMs mentioned by the nom. However, looking at some sources from his brother, it looks like at least a few sources use the numerals.

Talk:Celtici

message: There was a confusion here, which I fell for too: If you read the quoted classical sources, when they mention "Lusitania" they are talking about a territory and not "the Lusitanian people". Remember, the territory of Lusitania is not the same thing as the Lusitanian tribe/ethnic group. When Pliny and other Romans wrote about "Lusitania" they meant the territory of the Roman province of that name, not the Lusitanian tribe that lived in part of it prior to and immediatly after the Roman conquest. When Pliny talk's of the Celtici's Lusitania, he means their bit of that (Roman provincial) territory and not those bits occupied by other groups, eg, the Lusitanians, the Coni, etc. Provocateur (talk) 05:00, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Further, when these are actually examined, they are nothing to do with the subject: Livy is talking about Gracchus fighting the Celtiberians and Pliny is talking about Corsica and Sardinia in the cited passages.

thread_title: Unbalanced

message: I live in Washington state and I remember a news story about West from the 90's in which he left a threatening phone message on the answering machine of a Democratic state legislator. West did make a number of political enemies in the Democratic party during his political career. After watching the PBS show it became clear to me that the newspaper editor was a political opponent of West for years before West became mayor of Spokane. Still, it is very upsetting to see the viciousness and political bias on the part of the newspaper that prompted the supposedly "objective" editor to go after West with a sting operation. West wasn't very smart or discreet in his sexual behavior, but I also have no doubt that he framed by the news media. Funny, isn't it the liberals who constantly tell us that there is nothing wrong with being gay? I guess they will never apply the same rule to gay Republicans. It sure is interesting to see how differently the media covered the gay sex scandals regarding Portland, Oregon mayor Sam Adams in 2009. Adams is a Democrat. As far as I can tell West never lied about his gay sexual relationships the way Adams did.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.160.96.193 (talk) 08:58, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
