message: On Monday, April 30, 2007, the 81-year old, Sir Alistair Horne, will be making a rare appearance at the Berkeley Hillside club to meet with UC Berkeley historians to discuss his insights on the Algerian War and lessons the U.S. administration should draw upon. C-SPAN is planning to tape and televise the discussion.

Talk:Alister Taylor

message: Until recently the Alister Taylor article was included in the category of 'New Zealand Fraudsters.' The category reference was removed due to it being unsourced and potentially libellous.
Although I appreciate the concerns that may exist regarding including a living person in this category, in the case of Mr. Taylor I believe that it is well warranted. In any case his inclusion in the category is not unsourced, given that in the referenced ABC article the New South Wales Supreme Court determined that "Publisher Alister Taylor had solicited fees from Australians to be included in a publication entitled the Australian Roll of Honour series, which did not exist." and that the New South Wales Minister for Fair Trading, John Hatzistergos was quoted as saying "What this shows is that even those who are best positioned to be able to see through scams such as this, can in fact become victims, and it's important that all people be on their guard so that they're not taken in by such fraudsters."
I'm proposing to reinstall Mr. Taylor in the New Zealand Fraudster category unless anyone can show good cause why he doesn't belong there.Far Canal 23:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This source has one person mentioning him in the context of a "fraudster". Controversial statements about living persons require multiple reliable sources, not a single quote by one person in one newspaper article about one incident. There need to be multiple published reliable sources calling him exactly a "fraudster" in a general context, not just in regard to one or some incidents. This would still be problematic, because even if he had been a fraudster in the past, it is quite possible he is currently engaging in no fraud now. Keep in mind that this is a person still living; it is the difference, for example, between saying "You are an idiot" and "You recently did a stupid thing" (see Fundamental attribution error). Labelling and generalizing is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. The categories are a navigational aid that use labels for convenience, but the insufficiency and inappropriateness of the labels surfaces when applied to living persons who can be affected by such inaccuracies. (The category would be more appropriate if renamed to "Persons who have been convicted of fraud" or somesuch, though that particular categorization would not apply to this article.) —Centrx→talk • 00:10, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Princess Alix of Luxembourg

message: The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: Moved. WP:NCNOB dictates that titles of articles on "Other Royals" should be based on the highest title a person held. Alix was by birth a royal Princess of Luxembourg, outranking her position as Princess of Ligne. Apart from the examples cited by the proposer Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark is also a precedent for using titles at birth rather than by marriage for deceased royal women. The move discussion has been open for well over a week, and therefore there is no reason not to close it. --Estar8806 (talk) 22:35, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Alix, Princess of Ligne →  – It seems to be the standard to refer to deceased female royals by their title of birth. Examples such as the pages for her aunts Princess Sophie of Luxembourg and Princess Antonia of Luxembourg seem to follow this style. 2601:241:300:3F50:2903:1A23:CD58:358C (talk) 00:09, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Aliya Yussupova

message: To an anonymous editor who continues to remove a sourced statement that Aliya is Kazakh on the grounds that she is not: please read the Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines.  Unless a satisfactory source showing that she is Tatar (or at least that she is not Kazakh) can be supplied, this one (stating she is Kazakh) will have to do.  Please do not add/remove information which you are unable to source at all.  Thank you.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:55, March 6, 2009 (UTC)
In the source there is no suggestion about her ethnicity. A lot of persons from Kazakhstan who are not ethnic kazakhs have been repeatedly called so because of the country they're from. Especially in the non-Russian language articles, but many times also in the Russian articles.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.210.193.153 (talk) 15:38, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The very first line of the source (preceding the actual interview) states that she is Kazakh.  I personally do not care if she is Kazakh, Tatar, or Cardassian—all I care about is that we have a source that states her ethnicity, no source stating otherwise, and you persistently removing the source because somehow you know better.  As far as WP:V goes, the provided source is good enough.  If you have another source stating her ethnicity differently, feel free to present it here, I will gladly help add it.  I have semi-protected the article in the meanwhile to avoid further meaningless reverts.  Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:45, March 6, 2009 (UTC)
In her interview she said, that knows only two languages which are Kazakh and Russian.
So, if you still keep claiming that she is Tatar, please get some proofs of it, balabol.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.46.113.93 (talk) 21:02, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Please don't resort to namecalling; that does not help.  If we only had what she said in the interview, that would not have been sufficient—one can be of Tatar ethnicity without knowing a word in Tatar.  The source's first sentence, however, explicitly states that she is Kazakh ("").  That is more than enough for us to state that she is Kazakh.  Of course, if someone can present a different (and hopefully higher quality) source stating otherwise, it will be considered with all due diligence.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 21:29, March 6, 2009 (UTC)
My friend, she is from mixed marriage and the nearest  proof is her name. Aliya Mukhtarovna Yussupova. Yussup (Joseph) sounds like Jussup (almost like Jessup) in Kazakh. Check it with any lihguist you want.--84.54.72.47 (talk) 13:20, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I think that section needs to be looked at a bit closer, that VentureBeat article is by some random dude, it's basically a blog post. More to the point, it's fairly hard for The Immortals to have stolen the music/beat/samples from 2Unlimited's Twilight Zone (19th Janurary 1992), considering the Immortals is actually the side project of the same people that make up the group Lords of Acid. LoA released Take Control in October 1991, which uses the Mortal Kombat sound long before 2Unlimited, to the point of where I'm wondering if 2Unlimited actually stole from LoA.

Talk:Twilight Zone (Iron Maiden song)

message: Hello fellow Maiden fans. Just saying that since I got into Wikipedia, which is only in the last few years, I've noticed a LOT of incorrect information, unfinished or half done information, grammatical & non-sequential information on these pages. With all serious due respect to the Original person/s who took the time consuming effort to write it in the first place, I've been slowly updating and "fixing" these issues. I have always used references for any of these issues that I may add and I don't as a rule change any of the write ups about the album/songs but I have added a line at the end just to reference the updated elements. This is not done out of some malicious self-important ego trip but out of a wish for people who read Wikipedia for a source of information to get the correct knowledge to start with, as unfortunately most of you would be aware of the bad rep it has as a source of information,  even though I personally don't think its as bad as some people have said it is. Nor is it meant to be a "#$%@ you" to others who have written on them before me....

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: The two incidents in 1997 and 1998 take up well over half of the article. I don't doubt that they're significant, but do we really need quite so much on them? Quoting three paragraphs from his autobiography seems a bit excessive. I'm also uneasy in that the tone in some places seems to be teetering on the edge of a fan page rather than an encyclopedia. For example, the repeated use of "AD" instead of "Donald" seems inappropriate. Finally, and most simply, the article hops between historic present and past tense on a number of occasions. Hopefully someone with plenty of knowledge about Donald (ie not me) can fix these things. Loganberry (Talk) 16:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
