Talk:Holyrood, Edinburgh

message: I have read somewhere that there is some sense in which Holyrood has precise boundaries, where some special laws apply, and that the Scottish Parliament Building is actually just outside those boundaries. Can anyone confirm this, and provide more detail? Laurel Bush (talk) 11:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No definitive answer, but for what these snippets are worth: Canongate certainly had defined boundaries when it was a separate burgh. Nowadays, I imagine what's being referred to might well be the Royal park of Holyrood, which would presumably include the palace and many of the former outbuildings. There's no particular reason why the Parliament would be within that; it's a little further away from the palace than any former outbuildings I know of such as stables. – Kieran T (talk) 13:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

message: You won't find this guy listed up there with the Robert K. Massies and the Barbara Tuchmans of the world, but I remember as a boy of nine or ten years old, recovering slowly at home one spring from a serious bout of pneumonia devouring a slew of his books, burying myself in mediaeval history which he made as alive to me as the room I was in.  I've loved history ever since, and even if I am twenty years late finding out about it, well, I'm still sorry to finally hear of his passing.  If you've got kids, buy them his books.

message: I have reverted edits by User:88.110.171.200 who for a third time within 5 hrs has removed information about Knowles player statistics as part of a larger scale revision involving his honours. This text has clearly achieved consensus having remained unchanged on this page since December 2006. On each occasion no reason for this edit has been provided. As a compromise for the second revision I left User:88.110.171.200's version of the honours but reinserted the  player statistics.

thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: This section starts "At this time..." which is of no help if you haven't read the rest of the article. I followed the redirect Ivel tractor, and then manually jumped to this section. I then had to backtrack to discover what 'this time' was. (This is a relatively minor issue to fix.)
A bigger problem is that the section suggests that steam power was not used on farms until 1900. This is very wrong. The first truly portable engines came into use in the late 1840s, with some stationary installations appearing before this, and with viable traction engines appearing during the 1850s. Steam power was used particularly for threshing and ploughing, although, admittedly, cost was a major factor and the machines were not as common as tractors are today. If you wish to refine the criteria to 'tractors for direct ploughing', then the paragraph is more nearly correct, since steam-powered versions were never really successful in the UK owing to the heavy soil. US steam tractors were used successfully for direct ploughing, however.
I don't know any more about this tractor, so I cannot apply the necessary modifications.

message: Per the notability guidelines for future films, a stand-alone film article should only begin when shooting actually commences.  This is because a lot of factors can get in the way of a film's actual production.  Since Journey (film) exists, when shooting begins, I suggest moving Journey (film) to Journey (2004 film) and creating Journey (2009 film) for the film based on IMDb.  While IMDb only estimates release years of films, we can use this as a temporary rule of thumb until it can be determined what year the film will actually be released. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Did Israel exist as a country in which to grow up before its creation in 1948, or was his growing up delayed until he was in his 30's? This is like saying George Washington grew up in the United States. It might better say he grew up in the British Mandate of Palestine which later became the state of Israel.

message: I think that "Kingdom of Dardania" should be renamed to "Dardania". Most sources use the term "Dardania" to refer to the region of Dardania in classical antiquity. The term "Kingdom of Dardania" is ahistorical. We know that at various points in the long history Iron Age Dardania, a polity existed. Whether that polity was a monarchy ("kingdom") or a tribal polity is something that we don't know. Most sources don't call this polity a "kingdom" despite the fact that its leader was recorded as a "king" in primary sources of antiquity.--Maleschreiber (talk) 21:39, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Rural Municipality of East St. Paul

message: Whitehea has made several attempts to completely delete the section on Police scandal and disbanding without discussion or explanation. This started out as a "removed political input" on the May 28th edit. After this edit, I undid the deletion with the request that in the future the user discuss this on the talk page prior to deleting entire sections of the article. On June 17th, the user then renamed the section "transportation" and deleted all 6 national news citations to the Taman inquiry as well as most of the content and labelled the edit as "added transportation section". Please make accurate edit summaries as per Wikipedia edit summmary guidelines and please discuss your rationale for deletion/major changes on the talk pages first.
Second issue. Whitehea continues to remove the citation needed tags without explanation. Citation needed tags should not be removed unless a citation is being inserted or there is concensus on the talk page that it is not required. Please see the Citation needed help page for more information.
Third issue. Whitehea continues to reword parts of the article to make it sound more like an advertisement or tourism brochure and less like an objective encyclopedia article. Please review Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View guidelines and the article What Wikipedia is not.
To Whitehea or anyone else who wishes to make sweeping changes. I am not against improving the article and adding facts. I would ask that as a courtesy, you make your rationale known first on this talk page prior to moving ahead. Thanks.

thread_title:  Making sweeping changes to the article 

message: As was discussed above, I added "policing" and brought back the Taman inquiry information. I also deleted transportation section. Transportation and construction updates are usually not mentioned in articles about towns. I also rearranged the paragraphs in Geography section and deleted or toned-down some advertising-like phrases. As discussed above, we're really trying to get NPOV. Moved detailed geography information from the intro into the Geography section. The intro was quite cluttered with excess detail. Deleted "Some of the most expensive real estate in Manitoba is now located in these areas, especially near or along the Red River. " This really sounds like advertising more than a relevant NPOV encyclopedia fact. Also changed intro sentence "The population of East St. Paul increased by 313 persons (up 3.6%) between 2006 and 2011" which is redundant (being displayed in the infobox to the immediate right), to "The growth of East St. Paul has slowed in recent years" 3.6% is quite a small amount of population growth compared to 46% or 19% it has seen in the past. Lastly I deleted "The municipality is growing with new subdivisions increasing both population and business. " this is a vague statement that could be said of most communities and sounds more like advertising than a NPOV encyclopedia entry.

Talk:Daniel Chwolson

message: The fact of his conversion to Christianity is given surprisingly little emphasis.  Here are some questions that occurred to me while reading the article:
*What is known of his motives for conversion? 
*What effect did his conversion have among scholars, whether Jewish, Christian or neither? 
*How was he treated by his former and new religious communities? 
*Was he an observant Christian, and if so, in what tradition? 
*Is it possible that his conversion was only a political act? 
*It seems that he wrote extensively on matters relevant to Jewish history and religion; was this from scientific or religious interest?
If anybody has further information on such issues, the article might be a deal more interesting and informative.

message: The statement that until he was 18 he knew only Hebrew is certainly false. As a Lithuanian Jew, he almost certainly spoke Yiddish at home with his family and in the Yeshiva. Yeshiva students read material in Hebrew but did not conduct their discussions in it. He must also have learned Aramaic since it is the language in which the Talmud is written. Prior to 18, he therefore surely spoke Yiddish and read Hebrew and Aramaic. He may well also have spoken Lithuanian, although it is possible, if he really kept to home and Yeshiva and had little contact with Gentiles, that he did not learn it.Bill (talk) 02:19, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
