Talk:Stanisław Jan Jabłonowski

message: Hello Wikipedia users,
During my family research into an ancestor Joseph Jablonsky, living in Sweden but born in Krakow in 1678 I found that he had worked as a lackey for the Polish king Stanislaw Leszczynski who was installed on the throne by the Swedish king Karl XII.
The FamilySearch database of the Mormon Church had Joseph Jablonsky in their database and his parents where Stanislaw Jablonowski and Marianna Jablonowska (born Kazanowska). When Karl XII lost in Poltava and the Polish king and his court went into exile in Kristianstad in 1711, Joseph changed his last name to Jablonsky and started a family with a Swedish girl Anna Erasmidotter. They now have many descendants in Sweden. MrEtep (talk) 06:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Asabiyyah

message: The spellings asabiyyah and  'asabiyyah are both used in this article. I am not an "Arabist", but I assume that those would be prounounced differently. I suspect that some of these spellings might be a problem with Wikipedia's markup conventions for formatting italic and bold text  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Character_formatting ). -- 201.19.93.178 10:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not an Arabist either (and I doubt you're watching after two years), but you're right -- the apostrophe is a glottal stop, which suggests that the three-consonant root for 'asabiyyah is '-s-b. However, that the transliteration is off is no surprise; Arabic transliterations into English are flatly inconsistent. Subcontinental Muslims in England use "Darul Uloom" for what should be "Dar al-'Ulum", and "U" and "O" (Muhammad/Mohammed, Muslim/Moslem) appear to refer to the same vowel. Perhaps a standard will develop someday (hopefully a better standard than pinyin), but in the meantime, I agree that just making another redirect is the right thing to do. ExOttoyuhr (talk) 04:00, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a university student minoring in Modern Standard Arabic and I actually think the transliteration in the article is a little misleading.  The first letter of عصبيّة is actually an ع ('ayn') that can be transliterated using the character '3'—it's NOT a glottal stop (though the two different letters look similar in some contexts so I understand the confusion!) that would be transliterated using an apostrophe.  However, in English we don't have the 'ayn' sound so I don't know how to appropriately transcribe it for the layperson.  Transliteration doesn't appear to be standardized yet for Arabic, even after more than a decade since your original post haha. Kmk-0112 (talk) 13:49, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/The Signal (Film)

message: The film itself and the cast highlighted for The Signal is an example of another independent film like any other independent film that already appears on wikipedia.
But, I did not know the specific guidelines for adding films or televison projects. After reading the guidelines, I still find this film to be notable on this website. It is an independent film that shows an example fo the evolution of filmmaking. However, in compliance to the guidelines the film is not ready for submission to wikipedia but, should be after more valid information is made available.
Also some of the cast appeared and starred in projects that have been deemed acceptable to wikipedia thus they are noteworthy. In fact, three of them were not tagged at all so, those specific cast members should not be lumped into a category for deletion.

thread_title:  Football Manager on October 21st, 1953, at Wembley   

message: During the Second World War, Mr. Nausch lived in Switzerland. Before, he was team manager of Austria Vienna ("Austria Wien"). But very many players and officials (maybe all) of Austria Vienna were Jewish, therefore the Club had to finish, respectively there was given the new name "Sportklub Ostmark" (translation may be "Sportclub of Eastern March"). Nausch was very popular and venerable, therefore he was protected against the Nazi's reprisals, even he was showing his contemptuousness to National Socialism. He attended to manage the "Sportklub Ostmark", but he was only allowed to do by the nazi party if he had divorced from his Jewish wife. Therefore, in November 1938, he emigrated with his wife to Zurich. There were also other emigrated team-officials of Austria Vienna in Switzerland. - He piled in as team manager of Young Fellows Zurich. In 1948, he was retrieved by Mr. Josef Gerö, the president of Austrian Football Federation, in order to become the team manager of Austrian national team. --213.225.1.227 (talk) 12:51, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Walter Robins

message: I've just completed a pretty extensive expansion of this article, but there is still quite a lot of information missing, mainly to do with Robins's personal life. There's plenty of stuff online and elsewhere that covers his cricketing career, and I've used this to the full, but almost nothing that provides us with basic facts about his life outside cricket.  Things that I would like to know about include:
*What was his father's profession?
*What was his mother's name?
*Where did the family live when they came down south from Stafford? Maybe it was somewhere near East Moseley, the club Robins is said to have played for – but that's in Surrey rather than Middlesex
*What did Robins study while at Cambridge?
*When did Robins marry, and who to? Was it Kathleen Knight, as suggested by this picture?
*3, Richard Robins, Unity Maclean and Robert Victor Charles Robins
*Any further information on the insurance business that apparently provided Robins with a livelihood. It must have done pretty well, since he sent his sons to Eton.
*Any further information on his wartime RAF career.
Some of this might be forthcoming from the fairly recent semi-biography, Walter Robins: Achievements, Affections and Affronts, by Brian Rendell (ACS, 2013), but in his review, Martin Chandler bemoans the lack of personal detail in the book, so I'm not too hopeful. I've not seen the book, and at this stage I don't want to splash out the dosh, but maybe someone will remember me at Christmas. Meanwhile, if anyone does have access to it, they may be able to add a little more to the article. Brianboulton (talk) 18:56, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Marine surveyor

message: A marine surveyor is a man who surveys boats and ships checking for faults and points and estimating value. He is a professional when he has a post secondary marine education and carries errors and emissions insurance to protect his clients.
Marine surveyors inspect boats and vessels for valuation, condition, accident, and salvage. Marine survyeors use many credentials, letters, and terms such as Accredited, Certified and Qualifed. No one organization is in charge of Marine Surveyors. Marine surveyors pursue their profession independently of required organizations, and there is no national licensing for marine surveyors working in the maritime industry. The US Coast Guard does not approve or certify marine surveyors. Association terms and initials represent training and certification by private organizations. Insurance companies and underwriters may require recreational vessel inspections by marine surveyors but cannot require customers to use specific surveyors but may keep a "vanity" list. Other areas marine surveyors may perform inspections include Cargo Surveying, Ship's Surveyor, Disaster Relief, Salvage and Repair of Vessels. Marine surveyors may be self-employed, which is generally the case, or some may work for an associated group. In all cases the survey report is the responsibility of the individual marine surveyor.

Removing the term 'archaic' seems to require altering the tone of the whole article though as the definition seems to include duties a modern wharfinger is unlikely to have (such as living on the wharf). Maybe the article could be expanded somewhat to note archaic and contemporary wharfinger-duties?
