thread_title:  Untitled 

message: I have removed the following, which I cannot find any evidence for (just OR?):
"The entire population was refugees of Turkic-Shiite-Muslim background, and were known to the Arabs as Tatars or simply Turki. Later, many converted to Sunni Islam, and by an order from the Ottoman rulers, their town was officially built in 1912. A year later, most of the men in the town joined the Ottoman army against the Arab revolution in Egypt and fought in the Bulgarian war in 1913. Families of Umm Al-Faraj have distinct names that differs from other Palestinian-Arabs. Since the village is located in the region of Akko, and because Akko was part of the province of Beirut during the Ottoman period unil 1918, the population spoke the Lebanese dailect and practice a Turco-Lebanese culture; modern Palestinians of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip generally consider the entire population of Akko as Lebanese because of having Lebanese accent."

*
Very interestingly, they identify Umm al-Faraj as the Faraj on  Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, p. 193, even though Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, themselves just give Farja 7?
However, Rhode, 1979, p. 77 also identify   Faraj with Umm al-Faraj  (he gives gridno. 161/267), so I’ll accept that.
However, there are other mistakes in the article, e.g.:
*1153 CE  should most probably be 1253 CE
*Guérin 1880, 7:44–45  should be Guérin 1880, 7:45–46
*Frankel 1988:254  should probably be Frankel 1988:264

Category talk:Municipalities of Spain

message: Clearly, as this category has potentially thousands of members, some form of subcategorisation is desirable.
I propose a series of subcats with the form, [[Category:Municipalities in <entity>]], where <entity> is one of the smaller regional administrative subdivisions in Spain. 
I further propose that <entity> be (for most, if not all cases) at the Spanish provincial level, since doing this at the autonomous communities of Spain level would in many instances still be too large a subdivision. These municipalities in... subcats can still be associated with their respective autonomous communities by parenting them also to the autonomous community's category, so for example  and  would both have  as parent cat, as well as this one (ie .
If desired, a similar category scheme based on comarcas could be maintained, where these exist, particularly where these differ from provinces; however in many cases comarca boundaries are ill-defined.
The above proposal would yield about fifty subcats (there are some 50 provinces). The various  already appear to be arranged in this way, only the task of refining the category schema remains.--cjllw | TALK 04:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/March 6, 2006

message: I put the years of birth and death in because I missed them when I read the blurb. An article about a person is incomprehensible if you don't know when the person lived. Not including the year of birth for a living person is probably OK, especially if there's a fairly recent image present. If we don't want years in brackets, we should somehow include the appropriate information in the blurb text.Zocky | picture popups 04:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Stuff that goes in parenthesis after the name - the birth dates, foriegn spellings, transliterations, 'etc - does *not* belong in the featured article blurb. They interrupt the flow of writing, and make an already-long write-up longer. Nor do they add much, as the proximate span of any person so featured can be trivially gauged from the text. In today's case, it says she got her PhD in 1927, and won the nobel prize in 1983, therefore it's not a stretch to infer she was born in the early 20th century and lived until around the end thereof. Raul654 04:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The first sentence is the definition of the article subject. It should be enough to read the first sentence to know what or whom the article is about. I agree that the stuff in parenthesis that articles normally include shouldn't be in the blurb. Most of it shouldn't even be in the first paragraph of articles at all. But, when a person lived is a part of the definition. If we don't want to go with the standard notation with years in ()'s, then the first sentences should include a time reference in prose.
