Talk:Simon Girty

message: This article white washes Simon Girty too much. --Blue Tie 03:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I'd like somebody to substantiate the folklore that Simon Girty had a brother George that had a trading post on Girty's Island*, which is on the Maumee River in present-day Henry County, Ohio. Legend has it that the island was guarded by a brass cannon at its eastern end and Simon hid on the island while being pursued.

replies: text: Simon Girty had a brother named George, but it was his brother James Girty who had the trading post near (not on) Girty's Island, according to Butterfield's History of the Girtys. Butterfield's book is old, but he was a careful historian, more skeptical of folklore than other writers of his era. I don't think Butterfield says anything about a cannon on the island or Simon hiding there. How effective would a single cannon be in defending an island? Sounds like it could be a fanciful legend. —Kevin Myers 04:07, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Shelly Yachimovich

message: Number 57 has just moved this article to Shelly Yachimovich, claiming that it's the common name. Can anyone support this claim? The Knesset site spells it Yacimovich and her own site uses Yehimovitz. So, what is the rationale for the move? -- Ynhockey (Talk) 18:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The English portal of the Knesset website isn't authoritative for romanized spellings. Shmuel Platto [sic; Flatto] Sharon was corrected there some years ago after I queried it. A more recent query on its Beryl Raptor [sic; Berl Repetor] has gone unanswered for months and apparently requires follow-up. I'll check back here too. -- 93.172.65.45 (talk) 08:52, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Further: the Hebrew page says her parents are Polish Holocaust survivors, so her surname in that language would be spelled Yachimowicz. Her e-mail address—an indication, though not an authoritative source for surname spelling—shows an ending not romanized (i.e. from a foreign-language character set such as Hebrew) but per English transcription: yechimovich. Interim recommendation: The page name here should remain until something more conclusive and verifiable can be provided. -- Deborahjay (talk) 09:24, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

text: furthermore: Dear all, I'm afraid there has been a grave misunderstanding. There's one person who knows best how to spell her name, and that's her. She spells her name Yechimovich. An evidence is on her official biography at her official website here: http://www.shelly.org.il/node/2011. Another evidence is the way her name is spelled on the Knesset website email, syechimovich@knesset.gov.il. This spelling has been personally verified to me by Shelly's parliamentary aid. The spelling as it is today - Yachimovich - is not only incorrect but misleading and has caused numerous misspellings of her name by the international press. Tal Sokol.

thread_title:  Common name? 

message: The previous editors describe her journalistic beat as "feminist and socialistic." As she was published in the mainstream media, it's more likely to be "women's and social welfare" (or social justice) issues, and these descriptors are slanted (and antagonistic).

thread_title: ==========

message: As Goya showed hanged people for his "Desastres de la Guerra", Schwarzkogler used the contemporary media fotoperformance to produce an image of the wounded 20th century man, humanity cutted off in two worldwars and with concentration camps. It would be the business of inhumanity, to identify Goya with the cruelty he depicts and to call him a sick person. For the work of Schwarzkogler applies the same. He did not cut any human penis, and the myth saying that he jumped out of the window is a cheap babble, craving for sensation. Usually perpetuated by people who cannot make a difference between their sick projection and reality. I will change the related sentences to be more precise.

thread_title: Baron

message: Both User 109.66.154.183 and User79.181.118.18 keep insisting that Sonnino was the second Jewish Prime Minister of Italy, without providing any references and despite the fact that although his father was of Jewish heritage, his mother was Welsh and an Anglican. If one of the parents is not Jewish, the rule is that the child takes the status of the mother. Sonnino's mother was Welsh and both parents were Anglican. In other words, Sonnino is not considered to be a Jewish Prime Minister. Anglo-Saxon by birth and upbringing, he is described as the only Protestant leader in Italian politics and sources describe him as "decidedly British in manner and thought". - DonCalo (talk) 14:18, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  The First Capital 

message: First, there were many periods when there was no one "capital of Egypt," So there can't be a single correct chronological list. Second, you've got Memphis, the legendary first capital, going back as far as 3100, instead of the city of This, which was the real capital in the thinite period. Abydos is suspected of functioning as a capital during the old period as well. Furthermore, we've got the Tanis error on the page as well. Tanis became a capital later on, but during the time listed, it was most certainly not capital. Avaris was de facto capital during that period, and avaris and tanis have been confused prior to the 1980's, but tanis is now cerainly not avaris. Thanatosimii 17:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Most of those capitals are wrong 

message: The article claims that the first capital during the first the dynasties was some mysterious "Thinis/Memphis" combo, without any explanation or source. The First Dynasty article only mentions Thinis, and the Second Dynasty article suggests that the center of power might have started shifting, but the capital was still Thinis. Basically the same information can be found in the Thinis and Memphis articles as well. The previous post here suggests the same, but nothing has changed in the last 16 years, so I'll just make the change myself. --94.112.236.167 (talk) 15:46, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Twelfth Day is preceded by Twelfth Night, the evening of 5 January.

Talk:Sourou-Migan Apithy

message: The following paragraph seems contradictory: "The Council lost popularity with the Kutuklui Affair.[37] By decree of Apithy and the rest of the council, Togolese opposition leader Noe Kutuklui was officially expelled from Dahomey on October 27, 1971,[38] where he had been precticing law since the late 1960s. It was at the request of General Etienne Eyadema, president of Togo, as Kutuklui had been involved in several plots against Eyadema's military government. The Council's decision to extradite him spurred demonstrations in Cotonou. Maga was inable to carry out his decision; Alphonse Alley protected Kutuklui and took him to an unknown place outside of Dahomey. Col. Alley received no punishment whatsoever for his role in the Affair.[37]"
In the second sentence, N. Kutuklui is said to be expelled, but in all the following sentences, as well as in the caption to the picture, he is said to be extradited. Does anyone know which is correct?
