Talk:Timeline of New York City events, crimes and disasters

message: Some of the events on this page really don't belong. The title says "disasters" and famous murders such as John Lennon or Sanford White don't fit. (The Son of Sam I could agree was something of a disaster as it did affect the city.) A few items I just added are more obvious cases of events that were disasters for the city, notably the fires and epidemics that used to hit the city in the 1700s and 1800s. For more about the fires -- up to 500 per year -- see . - Rbs 09:13, 2004 Feb 14 (UTC)
:This list is interesting, but a mess. It should be split into two: New York City disasters containing train wrecks, fires, plane crashes, plagues and a few high-profile crimes (like 9/11) and a separate list of High profile crimes of New York City. As it stands, this list has no consistency.--Jackyd101 07:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this list should be split, disasters in one list, but I would say all crimes in a separate list, but five years later, no editor has been willing to do the complex work. 9/11 was a terrorist organization act of war, way beyond the crime category. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:51, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: On the line for 9/11 someone has added "It is the worst disaster in New York City's history.". By what metric can this is be claimed? The page lists epidemics that killed over 5,000 people, fires that destroyed a quarter of the city etc. This observation appears unwarranted and should be removed or altered to "This is not the worst disaster in New York history, but the worst in living memory.". Hornbunkler (talk) 14:07, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Disasters can be categorized by lives lost, but also in terms of financial loss, which 9/11 exceeds by billions of dollars any New York City disaster and by trillions of dollars any other United States disaster. See Economic effects arising from the September 11 attacks for more details. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:51, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: My complaint with this material is that it is written in the present tense.  All of the events described are historical events which occurred in the past.  Portraying past events in history and news in the present tense has become vogue and is entirely incorrect.  If one watches closely, one will see where the writers who rely on this gimmicky, "You-Are-There," emotionally-based rather than scholarly-based device cannot even remain internally consistent within their own text between the past and the present.  This is an infuriating and unethical corruption of journalism and history.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldfox (talk • contribs) 14:24, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Orthodox Church in Japan

message: "After the war instead of the Russian Orthodox Church the precursors of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) helped re-invigorate the Japanese Orthodox Church. ... Later, as the situation of the Orthodox Church improved in Russia, the Japanese Orthodox Church came under their leadership again."  Agreed, but this does not include the nuance that the "precursors" of the OCA, the Metropolia, was primarily the Russian Orthodox Church. Also, in 1970, the year of the glorification of St Nikolai, the ROC granted autonomy to both the JOC and the OCA, which autonomy is not recognized by Constantinople.  --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 03:08, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:International Ski and Snowboard Federation

message: An anonymous contributor recently put this statement in the article's opening paragraph:
:This sexist organization, to this day, still refuses to allow women to ski-jump.
The statement probably refers to the last couple of weeks' controversy regarding woman ski flying in an upcoming competition in the Norwegian Vikersund jumping hill in Modum. FIS' Jumping Committee has refused women test jumpers, citing legal concerns, stating that the organisation is working to establish regular women's ski jumping/flying in a couple of years, while many people in Norway regard this as sexism in a male-dominated organisation (an opinion further corraborated by reports that the only woman FIS board member have not been informed in the matter).
As outright political statements are un-encyclopedic in nature, I think Wikipedia policy is to keep discussion in Talk pages instead of in articles proper. I therefore hope said statement's contributor will abide by this. --Wernher 15:05, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Xalapa

message: The Nahuatl spellings with a double l are wrong if the etymology offered is right. The stem xal 'sand' has only one l. The "absolutive" form xalli has a double l because the second l is from the suffix (which is tli after other consonants). Thus xal-a-pan is 'sand-water-place' is correct, not *xall-a-pan. If the name comes from xal-lan 'sand-place' (the suffix appears as -tlan after other consonants), the 'l' would be double, but then the non-appearance of the n would have to be explained, as well as (less critically) the doubled locative. Anyway, I'm fixing the spellings.

In each link try clicking the superscript callout links. In the first link, the desktop site has a tooltip and a functional link to References. The second and third links show the bug. 
On the second link, the mobile site callouts for  do nothing when clicked. The superscript callouts created by  and  on this page will cause a popup with the reference. The popup is the expected behavior. The links from < ref >, , and  all create popups. The  template is slightly different and works on mobile the same way that it works on the desktop site (visible in the Notes section on: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mouse ); the superscript works as an in-page anchor link with .
In the third link, the mobile skin (Minerva) is used on the desktop site. The tooltip still works, but something in Minerva breaks the link regardless of the desktop or mobile version.

message: In the former route succession box I wonder if it would be better to say City and South London Railway rather than Northern line. While the City and South London was eventually succeeded by the Northern Line, the latter name was never used in this station's existence (coming into use about 37 years after it closed), nor was the section it was on ever operated by the Northern Line.

replies: text: I should also add that the article for the closed Hounslow Town tube station lists it as being on the District Line, which it was during its existence, although had it survived it would almost certainly now be part of the Piccadilly line given the transfer of the surrounding extant lines from the former to the latter. I admit this is a slightly different case, but it is perhaps a sort of precedent. Dunarc (talk) 21:39, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

This page has a whole buncha problems...... 
* the author claims that the ethnic group's history for the last 1500 years is well known, but claims decent from Nebucanezzer's enslavement of the Jews in 500 BC, 2500 years ago. 
* The documentary sources cited at the bottom in the external links cite islamic sources dating from the 1600's. 
* Archeological evidence dates from the 1000's to 1100's. 
* There is documentary evidence that the Jewish cultural identity in Afghanistan may derive from a massive immigration of jews from Persion in the 700's. 
* Despite the author's claims, the Qur'an does NOT identify the afghan ethnic group as the lost tribes of Israel.

thread_title:  Y-haplogroup affiliation? 

message: I want to rephrase the first paragraph of "History" a bit which only is here to explain why the name "Alarodian" has stuck to this grouping, and not so much to give a description of the Alarodians in the textual record.
My idea is:
*The term Alarodian is derived from Greek Ἀλαρόδιοι (Alarodioi), the name of an ethnic group mentioned by Herodotus which has often been equated with the people of the kingdom of Urartu, although this equation is considered doubtful by modern scholars.
I want to stick to "often" at least as a historical characterization, since Alarodioi = "Urartians" has been uncritically copied from publication to publication for decades. Zimansky calls it a "fashion", so "sometimes" is too weak, in spite of the very shaky ground on which this equation is built. What do you think?
Btw, :Alarodians currently redirects to :Urartu, which is problematic even with the clarifications you have recently added. What about turning the redirect into a stub to set the record straight? –Austronesier (talk) 11:38, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Dervish

message: I just removed the following text from the section on historical and political use of the term:
:However, all Sufi orders, including the derwish orders, posed a strong opposition to colonialism and islamic fundamentalism. There are Qadiri derwishes involved in battles with al shabab islamists in Somaliahttp://books.google.com/books?id=iMRf1RZ9zkAC&pg=PA27&dq=dervishes+in+warfare&hl=en&ei=KtYRTpqAOIiy8gP4n62gDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=dervishes%20in%20warfare&f=falsehttp://books.google.com/books?id=Yv74WDpVrVgC&pg=PA59. Derwish orders where also involved in violent uprisings in China such as the Dungan revolthttp://books.google.com/books?id=AtduqAtBzegChttp://books.google.com/books?id=GXgkHBRRKd4C&pg. It may be wrong to asume the derwishes only engage in postcard style sufi whirling and hadhra when peoples lives and well being are at risk. As a result, colonial administration tried to uproot Sufism and favour orthodox islamic clerics who portrayed Sufism as folk Islam, backward or supersticioushttp://books.google.com/books?id=4o2x_9aRLXcC&pg=PA55#v=onepage&q&f=false. This practice extended in secular Turkey as part of Kemalism where most Sufi practices are still banned today (except whirling for tourists).
This is unsourced - while references are given, they do not really say what they are supposed to say. The Somalia sources mention "Dervishes" in connection with the Somalian-British conflict in the early 20th century (and we already mention that in other paragraphs), but they don't mention Qadiri derwishes or al shabab islamists. The China sources are even worse - one does not even mention Dervishes at all, and Sufis only a couple of centuries before the conflict it's supposed to be about, while the other states that the rebel leader was chosen despite being a darvish ascetic, not because of it; neither mentions "Derwish orders". Finally, the "folk islam" source indeed says that Sufi islam is "folk islam" and that superstition is essential to it, but that's in connection with neither colonial administrations nor Dervishes, but in the context of modern societies. It says nothing about preferential treatment for orthodox islam; it technically does not even say that it was the orthodox clerics who portrayed Sufism as backwards and superstitious. Unless sources can be presented which actually say what they are supposed to, this paragraph is not verifiable and thus unsuited for Wikipedia. Huon (talk) 21:25, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
