Talk:Fritz Pollard Jr.

message: Thank you Eli for your nice words. My Grandfather and Great-Grandfather were amazing men who accomplished a lot with whatever they had. It's amazing how so many people don't know the history and struggles many athletes went through. I hope my family's story becomes more well known as well as the many others who played along side them.

I also have a few images I would like posted on his Wiki page, but I have no idea on how to do so. If someone could help me or do it that would be wonderful. Thank you!

Talk:Eric Partridge

message: I have uploaded two photos of Partridge to WikiCommons, but even though I now have a nice fast computer, I am a bit baffled by the process of getting the them onto the page, so I am just noting this here in case anyone is bored and feels like adding either or both pictures to his entry. The photos are details from pictures I took with a box-camera in 1971 and I have placed no restrictions on the use of the uploaded images. g88keeper (talk) 01:04, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  photographs of Eric Partridge 

message: The article incorrectly says that Eric "became Queensland Travelling Fellow at Balliol College, Oxford,[6] where he worked on both an MA on eighteenth-century English romantic poetry, and a B.Litt in comparative literature". However, you cannot obtain an MA from Oxford or Cambridge that way: You must first graduate with a BA from Oxford and then seven years after you graduate you can apply for MA status. That's why Oxford and Cambridge MA's are always written "MA(Oxon)" or "MA(Cantab)", to disguish them from MA's by study at other universities. There's an article on that here at Wiki. He had to have been just studying for his B.Litt. which is a second Bachelors degree for people who want to specialize after their first, in an endeavor to gain access to a PhD/DPhil program ourside their bachelors field. As a result, OxBridge even now still does not offer an MA as a graduate qualification.  - all taught graduate of arts programs are "MSt" - Master of Studies. Back then you could only do BPhil/B.Litt etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.199.182.88 (talk) 00:45, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Error in his time at Oxford

message: After saving this message, I will save my latest edit to this article. Editors will see that I've begun adding citations and finding links to online versions of this fellow's works. I've also come across some useful critique of his work, which facilitates objectivity and to which I will refer at some later point in article development. 
What prompted this message is the fact that I'm about to add a  template. I have no desire to, or intention of, peppering the article with citation templates. However, where I find a citation for a sentence, but not for the preceding sentence/s, the addition of a citation template is necessary so that I and others know that the sentence in question still requires a source. In other words, used properly, such templates are useful tools. There is of course no gain in peppering the remainder of the article with  templates because the mere existence of a body of text with no citations makes it a bit obvious that citations are needed!

Talk:Simeon of Moscow

message: Someone wrote in the preface that "Simeon continued his father's policies of supporting the Golden Horde and acting as its leading enforcer in Russia", which is blatantly wrong and based on complete ignorance; no medievalist would ever make such a claim. I have cleaned this up. It would be more correct to say that Simeon and his father, Ivan I, both of whom lacked the possibility to overthrow the Horde or even compete with it on an equal footing, had to be loyal and used this loyalty for their own political interests, i.e., to protect their territorial possessions from raids and looting by the Horde, "to retain and strengthen the grand princely office" (Robert O. Crummey, The Formation of Muscovy, 1304-1613, Routledge, 2013, p. 41), and to increase their power over the rivaling principalities and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Talk:Ahaziah of Israel

message: I believe that the discrepancy regarding age (in 2 Chronicles) applies to Ahaziah of Judah, not Ahaziah of Israel.  Chronicles makes very little reference to the kings of Israel, and neither Kings nor Chronicles gives ages at accession for the northern kings.  I also think that the statement in the article that says that the reference in Kings is wrong, should rather refer to the reference in Chronicles (where Ahaziah appears to have been born two years ahead of his father).Opaanderson 17:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: It says "During his reign the Moabites revolted from under his authority (2 Kings 3:5-7).", Are you sure? It looks like it is under Jeroham's reign (not Ahaziah's). I believe the reference should be 2 Kings 1:1 --Iggydarsa (talk) 21:05, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Ahaziah of Judah

message: 2 Chronicles 22 indicates that Ahaziah was 42 when he gained the throne, but the preceding chapter notes that his father and predecessor Jehoram became king at age 32 and reigned for eight years (thus dying at age 40).  This would make Ahaziah two years older than his father.  Kings has Ahaziah becoming king at age 20, and LXX (either in Kings or Chronicles) has him 22.  One commentator (possibly the Anchor Bible) posits that the Masoretic editor of Chronicles combined (added) the two traditions of Ahaziah's age.  (This discrepancy is reported as referring to Ahaziah of Israel, on the page fo that name.)Opaanderson 18:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Fork tube

message: The Motorcycle Fork article redirects to here. Is the whole assembly (triple clamp and fork tubes) not called a fork in the motorcycle world? Mikkalai's insert (generally used in pairs, called motorcycle forks) makes it look as though each fork tube is called a fork, which seems wrong because each tube by itself is not like a fork at all. 
The BMW, Ducati, and Moto Guzzi web sites all give specifications for the forks on their bikes without mention of "fork tubes". 
Dictionary.com lists one definition of "fork" as "the support of the front wheel axles of a bicycle or motorcycle, having the shape of a two-pronged fork."

Nadia is a word originating in the holy Qur'an and is used as an Arabic name.

However, the original meanings or the Arabic/Quranic meanings are: "the first", "the caller", or "a group of people".

message: I removed the information below from the article because: [1] it does not have a reference, [2] I believe it is nonsense.
This name is also used in the Middle East where it originates from Arabic (ندية), from the Qur'an. It was first used as a name in the Muslim world and later in the Western world. The meaning of this word in Arabic is "the caller" or "the announcer" of God, and also 'the beginning / the first'. In some European origins, it means "the first dawn on a flower" and means hope in most other European origins.
The name Nadia is also mentioned in the Quran as being the name of a goddess worshipped in pre- Islamic Arabia. The meaning is also in Greek Myth: the one loved of Curtis the honest nymph of the 7 Nymphs of Pericles.
