Talk:Ato Boldon

message: So there seems to be some dispute about the authenticity of this section, with several reverts by User:Tonylongman and various IP users (same person?). Let's talk about this here before continuing an edit war. Why should this section be removed? It is in fact the only actual sourced content in the entire article. The story on the letter was published by a major newspaper in the UK (And mentioned in major newspapers in Trinidad  ). What basis is there that this should not be mentioned? Please remember the Wikipedia is not for Orginal research, we are just an encyclopedia of published information. Rasadam (talk) 07:26, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ali/Ali first to convert?

message: Ali was the first to convert. No ifs, ands, or buts.
In addition to Ali having stated it himself in his own Nahj-ul Balaghah, and Nasr (which Zora amusingly dismisses as unrelaible), it is even stated by Zora's own references:
It is clealrly stated by Ibn Ishaq in p114 where he says: "Ali was the first male to beleive in the apostle of God, to pray with him, and to beleive his deivine message..." This is given in p153 of Muhammad and the Origins of Islam by Peters, F. E, 1994.

thread_title: No more wasting time with Zora

message: For any arbiters,
I dont have time to go around and debate in cycles. Sources claiming Ali as being the first male to convert to islam FAR outnumber sources claiming otherwise.
So please tell these partisan editors to stop messing with the page.
I've outlined some sources: 
*Ibn Ishaq in p114 clearly says it. And he is considered by western academics as one of the safest reporters. I can quote, if needed.
*Peters, F. E says it in p153 of Muhammad and the Origins of Islam, 1994.
*Nasr asys it in Expectation of the Millennium: Shi'ism in History.
*Karen Armstrong says it in Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet.
*Betty Kelen says it in Muhammad: The Messenger of God.
*The Sunni reference al-Mustadrak, by al-Hakim, v3, p112, says it.
*The Sunni Ibn Hisham records it: Vol1, p245
*The Sunni Tabari says it: Tarikh al-Tabari, v2, p65
*The Sunni Khateeb al-Baghdadi says it, in: Tarikh, by al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi, v4, p333
*Ali says it himself in his own Nahj-ul Balaghah in 3 places.
*There is a whole bunch of other hadith that I can provide from the Shia side. But the aforementioned shouyld suffice.
However, if needed, I can continue quoting more academic books again and again and again and again and again, until the page overflows with references.
So this is clearly not a mere Shia argument.--Zereshk 23:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Ali/Quran Compiled by Ali

message: Statement of Ali compiling a Quran is being made. NOTE: This was not stated in the reverted version made by Striver.
The Quran Compiled by Imam Ali (AS)
There is no dispute among Muslim scholars, whether they are Sunni or Shia,
concerning the fact that the Commander of Believers, Ali (AS), possessed a
special transcript of the text of Quran which he had collected himself, and
he was THE FIRST who compiled Quran. There are a great number of traditions
from Sunni and Shia which states that after the death of the Holy Prophet
(PBUH&HF), Imam Ali sat down in his house and said that he had sworn an
oath that he would not put on his outdoor clothes or leave his house until
he collects together the Quran.

Talk:Ali/Ali being a scholar

message: == Ali as member of the ulema? Not! ==
Striver, please stop inserting the "academic line" bit in the Ali article. I have a suspicion that this is all part of a plan to link the Shi'a ulema directly to Ali and Muhammad, through an unbroken line of scholarly transmission, and it just won't do. Ali was not a scholar, he was not a member of the ulema. The ulema as an institution evolved slowly over the course of the Umayyad dynasty, instead of springing full-blown from the head of Muhammad, as Athena is said to have sprung from Zeus.

message: Didn’t Shôgakukan have an encyclopedia before 1984? The NDL OPAC shows a "日本百科大事典" from 1962, and a "世界原色百科事典" from 1965. Was this the start of their encyclopedia efforts? The history is important, esp in terms of the rivalry with Heibonsha, which you mention only at the end, but which should probably be at the start. I don’t think that the current prices of the encyclopedia should be mentioned: this sort of thing always changes, and anyone can easily check it online.

Talk:Equal-field system

message: yes, i think its a good idea
The material below was at Land-equilization system, but does not seem to agree with some facts of this article.  Could someone who can confirm the facts incorporate the material please:-
The land-equilization system was a policy initiated by the rulers of the Sui Dynasty of China. The distribution of land was based on family size. Larger families got more land, but current landholders kept their existing land. Land could be farmed, but not bought or sold, and so it mainly stayed in the hands of big landowners. Still, this policy started, or helped, a time of high agricultural output in China.

"His career lost momentum for a time, and in the 1990s he appeared in urban-themed dramas such as New Jack City and Light It Up, neither of which were incredibly successful." From the New JAck City entry itself . "New Jack City was produced with an estimated $8,500,000 budget. The film initially premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17, 1991, before being released nationally on March 6, 1991; it grossed $7,039,622 during its opening weekend. It became the highest grossing independent film of 1991, grossing a total of $47,624,253 at the US box offices." seems fairly succesful to me.

I suspect that the word "ideological" there might have some room for improvement, but that question (even if not misguided) is outside the scope of this memo. 
My question here (in this section) is about the use of the word "literal" there.  (This might even fit right in, with a current trending fad to question -- or to argue about -- the use and meaning of the word "literally". Whatever.) 
In my opinion, the original intent might have been something closer to "in literary terms", instead of [what it says now, which is] "in literal terms".
