Talk:Portuguese nationality law

message: Does anyone know the rights of a Portuguese citizen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuck61007 (talk • contribs) 
:Wikipedia is not a discussion forum, but you might try looking at the Constitution of Portugal. Part I is titled, "Fundamental rights and duties". -- Boracay Bill (talk) 00:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Rights

message: There appears to have been a change in the practical application of this. I have knowledge of it, but no source; if there is a source this information could be added to the article.
According to the law it is only necessary to prove Sephardic ancestry, not practising. But a certificate supporting ancestry is required from a Jewish community authority in Portugal. While I don't think the law has changed, the attitude of the Jewish authorities has. From a specific case of two brothers who applied with (expensive) support from specialised lawyers, one several years ago and one in late 2021: in the earlier case some issues were raised about the brothers' parents not having a certificate of a Jewish wedding, but the Jewish authorities ultimately recognised Jewish ancestry and citizenship was granted (after the usual wait of  many months). In the recent application, the Jewish authorities are refusing to certify Sephardi ancestry if the parents' religious marriage certificate cannot be supplied. The same lawyer acted for both brothers, and reports this as a change to the rules applied, rather than random differences between treatment of different cases. Maybe there are sources to support this? I don't know of any. 212.105.168.202 (talk) 13:52, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There was no change to the law, that particular paragraph has stayed the same, down to the commas, since it was introduced. Those are all the existing versions of the nationality law. That aspect of the law has always been controversial in some circles, and there was a proposal last year in Parliament to restrict its reach, and some strong comments from the Minister of Justice also last year. The situation has escalated following the recent confirmation of Abramovich's Portuguese nationality. Obviously. That was a big scandal, even Navalny commented on it. Maybe that's why applicants are noticing changes, but without a reliable source stating that, it would count as original research. RetiredDuke (talk) 19:38, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:The Hawk of Lebanon

message: Saqr (commonly pronounced as Saager) means "falcon", not "hawk". Actually it can be used for either bird, however, the more proper translation is falcon and that is the intended meaning of the authors of the song. They are paying tribute to Nasrallah and the falcon is a symbol of strength, nobility, honor, etc. in the Arab world. It appears on businesses, advertisements, hard and paper currencies and royal seals, etc.
Also the translation of the lyrics is a little clumsy.
But, I am not interested in fixing any of this, just making note of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.73.206.179 (talk) 02:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Therefore, I've added the notability tag.  Please add sources indicating the subject's notability (see WP:N and WP:RS).  In addition, I've removed the lyrics.  Reproducing the entire lyrics of a song is generally prohibited, as it likely violates the artist's copyright.  However, small quotes can be used in the article.

Talk:Elrood Corrino IX

message: I'm merging this article into Padishah Emperor again, as it is a stub at best and completely redundant (I have added the Fafnir info that was missing, however). Many Padishah Emperor stubs have found a home in this article. If the Elrood IX section becomes cumbersome in the future it can be pulled out again like the Shaddam Corrino IV article, but frankly I don't think the character will be featured in another novel to the extent that his own article will be necessary.

replies: text: Even if it is from a Super GameBoy or Pokemon Stadium game, that shouldn't matter as the original games are monochrome. The rationale for reverting to a colored version was that it "looks better", which ultimately is a matter of preference and shouldn't have any bearing. Personally, I think the monocrome version more accurately illustrates the game than a colored version from a later period. --Our Lady Overkill (talk) 12:15, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Of Mice and Men (1992 film)

message: I have not read this book in quite a while, and I have not seen this film in quite a while.  I am pretty sure that the following is an error, but I did not want to edit it as I am not 100% sure.  In the differences between the book and the film section, the article states: At the end of the novel, Slim, Curley and Carlson come to find Lennie dead and George with the gun in his hand.  George lies and tells the men that Lennie took Carlson's gun and he tells them that he took the gun away from Lennie and shot him in the back of his neck.  The book ends with Slim saying "You hadda, George. I swear you hadda." and the two walking away.  Carlson then asks Curley what's bugging the two.  This scene was completely cut out of the movie and replaced with George's flashbacks.  Should the bolded sentence read as follows instead?  Curley then asks Carlson what's bugging the two (with the two names reversed).  That was my recollection, and it makes more sense.  But I am not 100% sure.  Does anyone know?  Thanks.   (Joseph A.

message: This is a great article.  Thanks to the authors.  All the guitar articles get flagged with "no references".  I have a copy of the book "The Fender Telecaster" (at my storage location), if I can dig it out I'll add the references.

Talk:John Pickering (judge)

message: The article says Pickering studied law at Harvard College and then was immediately admitted to the Bar upon graduation.  This is misleading in that Harvard Law School, the first law school in the US, was not founded until 1817.  Prior to that time the method of training for law was through apprenticeship with attorneys and firms for a number of years.  Thus I doubt if Pickering's studies at Harvard were the principal basis for his admission to the law.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.19.140.32 (talk) 06:14, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  Since nobody has listed any proof that ASL IV exists, I have deleted the section about them.  Once proof is afford about its existence, I will restore the section.  I highly doubt that this league does exist.  I live near Syracuse, NY and have not heard of a "Upstate New York Royals" moving there. KitHutch 05:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The league is the American Association of Soccer, but could never get the ASL name due to copyright infringements. The 16-team (but exceeded over 20 in 2006) league hasn't got to play, because of economic instability and lack of fan interest. Only the Fresno, Murrieta, Santa Ana and Yuma Az. teams will actually play in other soccer leagues based in Mexico. I recalled the minor league Mexico-America Soccer League/Association had 8 teams in the US: Antelope Valley Cal., Avondale Az., Bakersfield, Chico Cal., Chula Vista, Fresno, Imperial Valley, Lake Elsinore/Murrieta Cal., Merced/Modesto Cal., Northern Arizona, Oakland, Orange County (Santa Ana), Palm Desert, Redding, Riverside/San Bernardino, Salinas, Sonoma County, Stockton, Tucson, Yuma Az., Albuquerque and El Paso, but no doubt 3 or 4 new teams from the AAS are part of the MASA (or MASL) in 2007. 63.3.14.1 02:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Upstate NY Royals hadn't moved to Syracuse, they play in Rochester NY and in a whole other soccer league. I haven't manage to find out what league they play in, but Rochester NY and Fall River RI indeed have minor league soccer franchises. The York PA Patriots and Lancaster PA Lancers are in the Pennsylvania soccer League, a very small sports venue that actually did well in the stands, and financially in good shape in 2006. 63.3.14.1 02:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Do note that Celtic astrology has a lot to do with the archaeoastronomical monuments found in former Celtic lands; many of these monuments (like the pyramids and such) had astrological/religious purposes but also had astronomical purposes in that it helped to form calendars and such -- many are also observatories, etc. This article could be expanded massively.  --WassermannNYC 23:07, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
