¿¿¿¿¿¿¿WHAT ABOUT THE LUNAR ALE???????
I added Lunar Ale to the active beers list. I classified it as a brown ale, but I'm not 100% certain this is accurate, as i'm not a beer expert.Trinite 21:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The article claims that Boulevard is the largest craft brewery in the Midwest, but without a citation.  Per 2013 statistics the parent company is larger than other Midwest breweries, but the size includes its New York operations.

: That sounds like a fine idea to me.  I think Savoy Vase sounds much better than Aalto Vase, which could in fact refer to any vase he designed.  Also Savoy Vase passes the Google test.  I think it should be renamed. Gsd97jks 11:52, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I see both of these in many places.  The Encyclopedia of Islam calls him Mukaddasi.  Quite a lot of Arab historians (writing in English) call him al-Muqaddasi.  Guy le Strange, whose translations of the medieval geographers is still a standard text, used al-Mukaddasi.  A large number of academic writings give both versions as alternatives.  I'm not convinced that the question is so clear-cut as claimed here. Zerotalk 13:24, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Both spellings are literally the same thing in Arabic. "Maqdis," from Bait al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) is rooted from the word "Muqaddas" (holy) which is pronounced the same way in Arabic.

Talk:List of notable University of Pittsburgh people

message: I removed the following football player listings:
*Cecil Johnson - Panthers Football Team 1976 National Champions
*Elliott Walker - Panthers Football Team 1976 National Champions 
*Leverge Walker - Panthers Football Team 1976 National Champions
Given the nature of this listing and the fact that Pitt has 9 national champion football teams, 68 All-Americans, 22 current NFL players and 22 college football hall of famers, I don't believe playing on the 1976 national champion team alone meets the criteria for being listed here. If it does, Pitt should have hundreds of players listed.  The remaining listed football players are either major award winners, pro coaches or pro hall of famers.

Talk:Muwatta Imam Malik

message: Hi, I edited this page due to mistakes on it (e.g. identifing the Muwatta as a collection of hadiths, which it is not). The changes I made were factual. MezzoMezzo, may I ask why it was reverted? I also added "Prophet" in front of Muhammad (saw), and added "alongside the Qur'an", because the article was quite deceptively written to support the claim of Schacht and co, that the Quran was not important in early Muslim law. Before you revert it back, can you please tell me what your disagreement is? Imam Malik (ra) did not compile the Muwatta as a hadith collection, but as a statement of the law of Medinah, that is the important point that I am making. - Ibn al Hakim  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibn al Hakim (talk • contribs) 08:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Muwatta is not a collection of hadith? In al-Risalah al-Mustatrafah, al-Kattani, the author, discusses whether or not it is more authentic then Bukhari and Muslim, hence referring to it in the same category as two books which are clearly collections of hadith. If you think it contains too many fiqh ruling to be considered a collection of hadith look at any of the Six Books for comparison. Supertouch (talk) 13:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm reverting the copyvio/close paraphrasing tag, as we still have a problem here. The two examples I flagged up in the GAR, for example, are still there (listed below):
*Original: "He lived with the Sioux, who were traditional enemies of the Arikara, and was discriminated and against and treated as as an outcast due to his mixed blood. This resulted in a deep hatred for that tribe, and in particular one of his peers, Gall, with whom he developed a feud that endured for years."
*Article version: " Since he was of mixed blood, and the Sioux were traditional enemies of the Arikara, he was often discriminated against and treated poorly by the other Sioux. Consequently, he developed a hatred for the Sioux tribe and a feud evolved between him and a Sioux named Gall. "
*Original: "When Bloody Knife was about fifteen years old, his mother left her husband and returned to her people at Fort Clark, an American Fur Company trading post on the Upper Missouri near present day Stanton, North Dakota."
*Article version: "When he was about fifteen, Bloody Knife and his mother left his father and the Sioux to return to the Arikara at an American Fur Company trading post called Fort Clark, which was located close to modern day Stanton, North Dakota on the Upper Mississippi River."

What does this have to do with suggestions of his homosexuality? Trying to make sense of the spanish sources you included look like he was thought to have been in love with a child or young man who may not have been his son and who he made his heir.
