Talk:Simo Parpola

message: What a sadly unbalanced article. Simo Parpola has published extensively yet the only work covered is a single paper. Katherine Tredwell 03:09, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: We need another perspective on Parpola besides his own. In the introduction of his article "Assyrian Prophecies, the Assyrian Tree, and the Mesopotamian Origins of Jewish Monotheism, Greek Philosophy, Christian Theology, Gnosticism, and Much More"  Jerrold Cooper Journal of the American Oriental Society Vol. 120, No. 3 (Jul. - Sep., 2000), pp. 430-444 Cooper writes: "Simo Parpola is a scholar with impeccable credentials. editor of the State Archives of Assyria series. arxI the foremost expert of his generation on Nco-Assyrian. If he cook) make the case for a Moopotamun pedigree of the twin foundations of Western Civilization. "Jewish Monotheism and Greek Philosophy." it would radically alter our understanding of the formalist influences of our civilization, and the field of Assryology would be moved from the margins of the humanities to a position of central importance. Ilowcver. a careful reading of Parpola's articles and the introduction to Assyrian Praph re rer reveals arguments that art often circular and flawed, in which, by virtue of an enthusiastic presentation, what remains to he proved is transformed into evidence for a construct that resemble* doctrine more than theory." We need someone with access to this article to use it to balance the article. Dougweller (talk) 10:26, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: I Agree Katherine Tredwell's comment that Simo Parpola has published extensively. I added a selection of his publications so that his areas of work are now better covered. Unfortunately, I am not the right person to describe the relevance of the individual fields of Parpola's work. I also agree with Dougweller that many contributions of Parpola have far reaching consequences and are relevant, maybe radical.  But I am from another branch of humanities and not the right person to assess these and not deeply enough in the respective disciplines to relate Parpola's published results to previous views and results in those fields. But I am sufficiently well aware of facts about Parpola's career and doings. I cleaned the earlier version (before 2016-05-15) because the previous description was clearly not representative. Simo Parpola is known primarily as an Assyriologist, and his main contribution is bringing the heritage of Assyrian State Archives available to all scholars as properly interpreted and translated texts.

Talk:Santiago Mariño

message: I note that User Caracas2000 has again edited this article down to what effectively is a stub. However, I do concede much of the text was perhaps overlong and did not make clear what a key part Mariño played in the achievement of Venezuelan independence. I have, therefore, restored the text, but worked on it to make Mariño's role more prominent and removed a bit of the excess detail - though more work may need to be done here. 
Please, if you feel like a massive deletion of referenced text again, discuss the reasons for it here on this page and just don't wipe out most of the article. Oh, and by the way, Mariño seized power for a short time and therefore, I believe, he should be referred to as at least an Interim President of Venezuela, but am willing to discuss this further if you wish. Sincerely, John Hill (talk) 02:25, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sarah Biffen

message: Painted using her mouth? This source (https://artuk.org/discover/stories/sarah-biffin-the-celebrated-nineteenth-century-artist-born-without-arms-or-legs) says otherwise:
"Biffin's technique is also described by Edward Boys Ellman in Recollections of a Sussex Parson (1912). Ellman's cousin, Frances Sankey (later Mrs Ottaway), and his sister Catharine, both took lessons in miniature painting from Biffin while she was in Brighton in 1829. Ellman describes Biffin:
'... Her paint brush was pinned to a large puff sleeve which covered the short stump of the upper part of the arm. She fixed and removed the paint brush with her teeth, when necessary to wash the brush.'"146.198.148.152 (talk) 09:06, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Sarah Helen Whitman

message: Someone changed text that was cited to a specific source. Of course, this is problematic for obvious reasons. This is the version changed: . Hopefully I will be able to check the original source. If they don't match up, I will have to put it back to the prior version... even if this new information is true, it must be verifiable, which means a cited source must reflect that information.  --Midnightdreary (talk) 16:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll have to add your book to my wishlist! Don't feel to reluctant to cite yourself, so long as your book is a reliable source - if it's been printed by a real publishing company (as opposed to self-published), you shouldn't have a problem. Overdoing it might get a few eyebrows raised, but don't feel hesitant. The date is interesting because I've seen some real fights over which day (I think it's Mary Phillips who says, "It couldn't possibly have been Christmas!"

Talk:Sarah Villiers, Countess of Jersey

message: The portrait shown (by Ozias Humphrey) is misidentified.  It is probably a portrait of her mother, the Countess of Westmorland, who was also named Sarah.  The error comes from the linked source given on Wikimedia Commons for the image, which is an art sale catalog that identifies the sitter as "Sarah Villiers, Viscountess of Jersey" (no such person ever existed).  The date of the portrait is given as 1786, which is probably correct based on clothing style.  Sarah Fane, the daughter (subject of this article) was born in 1785, and the portrait looks similar to other portraits of Lady Westmorland.
I would fix it but I don't have an ID on Wikimedia Commons.  Will someone please take care of this?  Laura1822 (talk) 10:22, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: He passed away

message: In the second paragraph of the "Life" section, he mentions that he taught briefly at Enfield College, NE London in 1967.  It was actually the Enfield College of Technology, North London, which was later merged into Middlesex University (and should redirect to that).  There is another Enfield College which the article links to (The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London) but which is not correct.  I know because I taught with him at Enfield College of Technology.  Also, it was between 1964 and 1967.  In fact, he brought me into the sociology department there in 1964.

Talk:Stanley G. Payne

message: While Stanley Payne surely has little kinship with the new left, the sources attributed to this claim hardly support the assertion that he is a "pro-Francoist" or a historical revisionist. The assertion should be removed and contextualized in a "Criticism"-section. As a new user I won't presently try to wrangle with the article myself, but Wikipedia:BLP should suffice to justify an edit, or absent an edit a complete removal of the characterization in the short description.  HogarthsBurn (talk) 20:28, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Any idea how to include these sources in the article, ?--Asqueladd (talk) 21:57, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

text: Just like I did: Payne always was quite lenient to the Francoist tyranny, so much that he has eventually became a notable member and supporter of pro-Francoist revisionism, and he barely misses an opportunity to support the neo-Fascist Vox party rewriting of history. He's no longer a historian but a far-right propagandist. Let's call a spade a spade. MaeseLeon (talk) 22:28, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

text: The sources concerning Paynes supposed approval of Pio Moas work do not show support for Pio Moas particular telling of history, but rather offer a condemnation of the (in Paynes view) unscholarly way with which Moas work has been met. The remainder of the sources certainly show academic disagreement with his contributions to the particular work of Franco: A Personal and Political Biography. Absent a page discussing the book itself, it seems to me that a simple "Criticism"-section encapsulating the criticism of the work itself would fulfill both WP:NPOV and WP:BLP.

Talk:Heinz Schubert (actor)

message: I navigated to this page from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_war_criminals#The_IG_Farben_Trial, where Heinz Schubert is listed as a nazi war criminal who served 10 years imprisonment after a post-war trial. 
Are both of them the same person? 
I find this difficult to believe because: 
a) This page doesn't mention anything to the effect.
b) This individual would have been very young at that time of history. 
Clearly there has been an error in assigning category.
:Doesn't seem to be him: he was a war prisoner but in 1951 he was already acting, and he'd taken acting classes in the years before that, which leaves no time for a 10-year sentence. I'm moving this to Heinz Schubert (actor). Saint|swithin 14:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a WP:POV problem, I believe, with the following sentence:
"FARMS tried to quiet the attack by Signature Books down by emphasizing that the attack was on the writtings and not the beliefs or character of the authors reviewed, but Signature continued in its hostile attitude."
This seems to make FARMS out as the "good guy" and Signature Books out to be the "bad guy" in the dispute. Even if it was Signature that aggressively tried to "continue" the controversy, surely it can be phrased in a more neutral way? Good Olfactory (talk) 04:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Robert D. FitzGerald

message: I did a scan in the digitised newspapers. Where his middle name appears (government appointments, obituaries, etc) he is always called David not Desmond during his lifetime. It is not until this newspaper article in 1930 that the middle name Desmond appears, at least 30 years after his death. However, the use of Desmond then persists into many websites today. Unless anyone can find any evidence of the middle name Desmond during his lifetime, I think we should remove it from the first sentance and addma comment later that after his death, he has been sometimes erronenously referred to as "Robert Desmond FitzGerald". I don't think we want to continue to encourage the further proliferation of the middle name Desmond unless we can find he ever used it himself. As currently written, it suggests we are not sure about his middle name, but I don't think we are unsure. Everything I can find says it was David. Kerry (talk) 03:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Somdet Chaophraya Borom Maha Sri Suriwongse

message: The article was previously renamed by User:RJFF from Si Suriyawongse to Chaophraya Si Suriyawong. His most recent title, however, is actually Somdet Chaophraya Borom Maha Si Suriyawong (which is rather cumbersome for an article title). Even if we decide to omit the borom maha, as some sources do, the article title should still be Somdet Chaophraya Si Suriyawong. Alternatively, we could omit the rank altogether and have Si Suriyawong, a short form which is also often used among English-language sources. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:00, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  The name "สุริยวงศ์" should be pronounced "Suriwong" rather than "Suriyawong", in the same manner as the road สุริยวงศ์ in Chiang Mai. This can be seen from his personal seal on which his title is written "Chow Phya Sri Sury Wongse, Regent of Siam" (เจ้าพญาศรีสุริยวงษ์ผู้สำเร็จราชการสยาม) and from this page of the Bowring Treaty on which his title is written "His Excellency Chau Phaya Sri Suriwongse Samuha Phra Kralahome" (เจ้าพญาศรีสุริยวงษ์สมุหพระกระลาโหม). So, if Wikipedia prefers the RTGS rules of romanization over the mentioned inconsistent spellings in historical documents, the name should be written "Suriwong" (or "Suri Wong"), not "Suriyawong". --YURi (talk) 10:11, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
