Talk:Mut'ah

message: Acctually, its not a disambig, its a word in it self. Somebody can acctualy mean just "mut'ah" without wanting to specify what form.--Striver 09:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The following article has no relevance at all to its link on page: Timeline of 7th century Muslim history. The link refers to the battle of Mu'ata. This text here refers to Muta'ah, which is totally different. To have a text about battle of Mu'ata, please contact the islamic council.
The above paragraph was at the beginning of the article, I think it rather belongs here.—Graf Bobby (talk) 16:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  To whom it may concern 

message: Not only is the writing atrocious (e.g. what does " the Quran has nanstead" mean?), but the facts are inaccurate, the references that are given are dead links, and the language is offensive and just plain wrong (e.g. "In the original Arabic culture the word Mutah actually meant 'renting vaginas'").  How have statements like that been allowed to stand?
I will try my best to improve this article, but I think it's pretty much a lost cause.--Akhooha (talk) 20:56, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I have restored some text with live references. This article needs to explain general term of Mut'ah and then point to child articles of Mutah of Haj & Nikah. If there are nay concerns please let me know, I'll try to address them in my best of capabilities.--10:18, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for your work.  I have taken the liberty of deleting the reference to the Battle of Mu'tah as that is a completely different word (مؤتة ) from a completely different root and has absolutely no relation or relevance to Mutʿah. Thank you again for your work.  I think between the two of us the article has become somewhat presentable.--Akhooha (talk) 20:32, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct when you say that word Mu'tah in Battle of Mu'tah as is a completely different word (مؤتة ) from a completely different root and has absolutely no relation or relevance to Mutʿah. But for a person unknown of the intricacies of Semitic languages both word are similar and without an apostrophe (') their transliteration is same. IMHO we need to have this mentioned somewhwere somehow so that we make the point that Mu'tah & Mut'ah are two different word (although similar). As of now I leave it upto you how & where to include this piece of info. Thanks.--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haidertcs 06:22, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Opera/Archive 1

message: How should theatres be named for link purposes? i.e., Teatro alla Scala (also La Scala) of Milan, should better be La Scala, Milan or La Scala theatre or La Scala theatre, Milan, or something else?
: Good question. I would suggest just the name where it isn't too generic, ie, La Scala but Muzikverein, Vienna -- Viajero 19:44 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I am not sure how historically accurate the following text is:
: Wagner rejected the format of traditional opera, which consisted of relatively quiet recitatives accompanied by basso continuo, interspersed with aria pieces accompanied by the full orchestra — with a pause after each aria to accommodate enthusiastic applause by the audience. Instead, Wagner pioneered a through-singing style in which recitative and aria blend into one another, and are constantly accompanied by the orchestra, with applause taking place only between acts. 
Rececitives disappeared from opera long before Wagner. Didn't Gluck initiate the process? -- Viajero 19:44 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Joseph Katz (Soviet agent)

message: The origin of Joseph Katz is actually a friend of a friend in Virginia, is in his early 20s, and has not had any government job.  I refrain from going into further detail of the guy out of respect for privacy.  The site was brought up here as a hoax, complete with bogus sources.
:Hmm. [Google Books magic happens] He appears in Red Spy Queen, Elizabeth Bentley's biography, but doesn't give any details about him. There's a Joseph Katz in the Venona book, as well, at least mentioned in passing in the appendix, and the cited article exists: . Not ruling out that this article is a hoax - I'm not a great fan of the original author's reliability! - but the bare facts that a guy of that name was fingered as a spy by VENONA do check out. Shimgray | talk | 13:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article cited at the bottom looks legit, at the very least, where Hyde, a former CIA officer, calls Katz, a "master spy" who "who served the KGB for more than ten years as a superb multifunctional agent" and was in charge of managing Bernard L. Schuster, the organizational secretary of the Communist Party in New York. I'm happy to send a copy of it to anyone who is interested, just send me an e-mail. It is likely there are multiple people named Joseph Katz (Google Phonebook puts at least 34 in New York at the moment). --Fastfission 14:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of famous Swiss people

message: Hmm, yes, I understand the sentiment of wanting to merge the two lists. And at the moment, there's not exactly a strong focus on the inventions in this wiki - although I hoped that would develop once it was published.
I've also been rather cavalier about my use of the word "inventions" but I couldn't think of a better word at the time.
My feeling is that the function of the list of xxx people concept is very well established and very well defined. As a relative newbie to Wikipedia, and with not too much spare time on my hands, I didn't feel it would be possible to propose a Wikipedia-wide shift away from the "people" aspect and towards the "inventions" aspect.
What this list has, that the famous people list hasn't got, is a three-way categorisation -
* the Swiss and their inventions
* the anonymous (traditional) inventions
* the foreigners and residents (and their inventions)
Also, this addresses head on the annoying convention that Switzerland is boring. Belgium and Finland get that too, by the way.
So I won't be offended if the Consensus is to merge my contribution into the larger List of Swiss people, but perhaps it might be more useful to either broaden the remit on ALL the original lists?
IMHO the name of the older list is unnecessarily long; I would in any case prefer a shorter name, maybe Famous_Swiss.
OrangUtanUK - 2.June.2006 10:43 utc
Sorry, I overlooked your post here because I was only watching Swiss inventions. If you plan to work some more on Swiss inventions, then fair enough... but at the moment it is a very confused article that doesn't seem to have a focus. It also needs a good work over to sort out the tone, which isn't really suitable for an encyclopedia. Thanks. Addtional: it's just a suggestion, but the issue of the Swiss not being credited with inventions would surely be better addressed as a section of the main Switzerland article? - Motor (talk) 11:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Template talk:Nothaweng

message: I think this is a bit silly. Why should we disclaim articles for not being written in Hawaiian English? Wikipedia is not written in Hawaiian English. Robin Johnson 10:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is written in whatever variety of English is appropriate for the topic.  To say that "Wikipedia is not written in Hawaiian English" is like saying "Wikipedia is not written in American English" or "Wikipedia is not written in British English" or "Wikipedia is not written in Australian English".  Wikipedia is written in English, and the fact of the matter is that various standards of the language differ in areas of preferred spelling.  It is obvious that English is spoken in Hawaii, but it is not as obvious that Hawaiian English and Hawaiian are the only official languages of Hawaii—Midwestern American English is not standard there.  So, as far as Hawaii-associated topics are concerned, if the words are not spelled according to the Hawaiian English standard, then they are spelled wrong.  It would be just as appropriate to adhere to British standards when editing about London, or Singapore standards when editing about Singapore.  It's still all English, but sometimes you have to choose between words like "harbor" and "harbour", or (in this case) between "Hawaii" and "Hawaii", and spellings such as "Hawaii" are the only correct standard spellings in Hawaii—spellings like "Hawaii" are mainly used by people from outside, such as tourists, ad agencies that advertise outside of Hawaii, Hollywood, Washington, D.C., etc.  And as you can't get much more Hawaii-associated than Hawaii, it makes sense to use the local English spelling in all circumstances, and that is "Hawaii".  "Hawaii" is sloppy and frowned upon. - Gilgamesh 14:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I do not understand this either. Hawaiian English refers to the dialect of Creole English (ISO 639-3 language code hwc) which is known as "Pidgin" within Hawaii. I do not think that Creole belongs in encyclopedic articles, except perhaps to discuss it as a subject, or quotes, etc. So perhaps the author meant the Hawaiian writing system, which happened to be devised by English speakers? Or specifically the use of the special characters such as Okina which is discussed (several times by now!) in the Hawaii manual of style talk page? As we concluded, "Hawaii" is likely to be found in most English dictionaries, so that is a bad example. But almost all other words the consensus seemed to be to use the special characters in the body, but not the title. W Nowicki (talk) 22:00, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Die Prinzen

message: :"Die Prinzen (The Princes, in English) are a German music group specializing in a cappella music."
I think that this was only correct for the first years of the group. AFAIK, their first albums were released in two versions: the "usual" (radio) version (voice tracks and instrumental parts) and a purely a cappella version (minus the instrumental tracks of the radio version). Sometime in the mid 90s (?) they stopped the purely vocal productions. I think that they are now no longer considered a cappella (by themselves, their fans or the a/c-community alike). Please check on that information anyway ;-)
BTW, the article might be improved by adding the role of producers Anette (Annette?) Humpe or Stefan Raab or the founding of the group as "die Herzbuben". However, I'm no expert in this field... Yours, Jonas --89.53.238.190 10:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
