Talk:Narrators of hadith

message: This is one of the stranger entries begun relating to hadith. This could just as easliy be an exposition of 'tabaqat' or a list of early religious scholars as it could be about narators. Is this entry even necassary independent of the 'ilm al-rijal' entry? Supertouch (talk) 13:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Geoffrey Finsberg

message: The article states: "Finsberg celebrated this victory by having '474' stamped on his car's number plate."
What does that mean? Surely he didn't literally have a number "stamped" on an existing plate? That would almost certainly have been illegal. Or does it mean that he obtained a "vanity" plate that included the number 474? This ought to be clarified. Or, failing that, the statement should be deleted.
In any case, a better citation might be needed. The existing citation might not conform to WP:NEWSBLOG.

Talk:Geoffrey Lloyd, Baron Geoffrey-Lloyd

message: His holding the post of chairman of the Oil Control Board is according to his entry in Who was Who.  However, I would question whether this was in fact correct, as Sir Andrew Agnew of Shell was chairman of the "Petroleum Board", according to Angela Kenny, ‘Agnew, Sir Andrew (1882–1955)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 , accessed 6 March 2012.  The Petroleum Board, also called the Petroleum Control Board, seems to be identical to the Oil Control Board.  This took over all the British assets of the oil industry during WWII.  He certainly had political oversight of the Board. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:45, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Geoffrey Rippon

message: Why was Rippon Minister of Technology for (according to Minister of Technology) a single month? This article doesn't even mention his time there except in the infobox at the bottom, so I'm in the dark. It wasn't because the post of MinTech was abolished, because that didn't happen until later in 1970; John Davies followed Rippon, and was the last holder of the post. 86.143.51.126 (talk) 22:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Because Iain Macleod, appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in June 1970, died a month later, precipitating a Cabinet reshuffle. Of course a month in post wasn't long enough for Rippon, or anyone else moved at the same time, to achieve anything of note. See here. Harfarhs (talk) 11:18, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

message: >Taylor is among a generation of historians committed to the revival of narrative history, rejecting the method-driven, quantitative work of the previous generation of "new social historians" and the theory-laden work of more recent "new cultural historians." 
This sentence is very judgmental plus it won't mean a thing to the average reader.  I think it should be rewritten to explain what "new social historian" and "new cultural historian" mean and how Taylor's approach differs.  And with links, if possible.

Talk:Leonard Farbstein

message: Several sources say Farbstein served in the Coast Guard reserves during World War I. However, according to Wikipedia, the Coast Guard reserves was formed circa World War II. There were no sources I could find that gave his exact date of service. Having been born in 1902, he would have been very young if he served during the World War I era. I recommend adding the dates of service to this article if it can be determined. Also, there were no sources that had his rank, so if that could be determined, it should also be added to the article.

Talk:Georg Magnus Sprengtporten

message: This article is written from a Swedish point of view. In Finland he is mostly considered a national hero, though a very complicated person. He did not want Finland to become a part Russia; he had the admittedly unrealistic objective of making Finland an independent republic, an idea he got in Paris from his friend Benjamin Franklin. He also wrote the first draft for a constitution of Finland.

thread_title: Jainism

message: Every time when I write the meaning of Swadhyay as study of one's own self, somebody corrects it as self-study. This time I could see, Mr.Basawala has done so.
There is difference in meaning of self-study and study of one's self. Self-study meaning could be vague that a person studying alone in any subject. Where as Study of one's own self is answers to questions like "Who am I?" "Who is my creator?" "What is my relationship with other objects of the world and space?", "Who is creator of the world, sun, moon etc?"
"Swadhyay" is a Sanskrut word. It's origin can be seen in Taiteriy Upnishad" and "Srimad Bhagwad Geeta". The word "Swadhyay" has a specific meaning. If you are a Mohmedian, let me give you an example. I may feel "Namaj" means bowing down to Almighty but The Word "Namaj" may have the different connotation, it may have very deep sense than I could perceive. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, the correct connotation of an important word should be allowed to the viewer. By your edits of meaning of "Swadhyay" as self-study, you are depriving the viewers of sacrosanct meaning of "Swadhyay".
I hope readers will understand my view-points and stop editing the meaning given here. I had written a rough article but somebody removed it. I am going to re-write after obtaining some information.

message: I redid the table using the  template series. Most of the intersections listed should be removed. Under project guidelines, normally only junctions with other state highways, US highways, Interstates are listed except when it is a freeway interchange. The other junctions that get listed are major county roads/county-designated highways. A lot of these don't seem to fit for me and should be removed. Also, a source for the mileposts used is needed in the header template.

Talk:M-66 (Michigan highway)

message: On the M-72 page I reworked the junctions list into a list of concurrencies since M-72 hasn't met a highway it didn't like to duplex or triplex. This still left the bulk of the main article longer than the infobox. M-66 is such a long highway, even with an incomplete junction list in the info box, removing the termini section (redundant) and the county list (shorter in the infobox at 4 lines instead of 12) leaves the infobox as much longer than the article.
Can we pull some stuff over on I-194? Are there any interesting landmarks along M-66? I've taken to adding sections in the UP highway articles where there is a point of interest (with or without a link to another article).
