Talk:Manuel II Palaiologos

message: I'm interested in Manuel II because he is part of a vast event, connecting one end of Eurasia to the other.  Manuel was begging Henry IV of England for a new crusade to save Constanople from the besieging Turks, when a message arrived with the news that Tamerlane's (Timor's) Mongol army had badly defeated the Turks, thus saving Constantinople.
*Excellent description of Manuel's travels to the West can be found in several resources. Among them, the most interesting ones, conveyed in modern textbooks, can be found in Sir.Runciman's "Fall of Constantinople" and Lord Norwich's "Byzantium", vol. III.--Spryom 09:08, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Requested move

message: As a measure against Wikipedia:Recentism, I'd suggest shortening coverage of the recent incident in this article a lot. One single sentence: A passage written by Manuel Palaiologos containing some anti-Islamic polemics, quoted in a speech by Pope Benedict XVI on 12 September 2006, became the object of apublic controversy over the pope's stance towards Islam. All the rest should be in the article about the incident. Manuel's own stance against Islam doesn't require any discussion here, it was presumably completely conventional and commonplace for his time and seems never to have been any particularly noteworthy object of study in the context of Manuel's biography or Byzantine historiography.

thread_title:  Shorten that  

message: I tagged this article as noncompliant becasue of the description of the 2006 protests resulting from the pope's quoting of MIIP's statement regarding Muhammad.  Use of phrases such as "Muslim community" and "as always" reflect a non-neutral PoV, IMHO.

I have written this stub to counter that, I don't really know how notable they are as I'm not really up on German heavy metal bands but they do play festivals around Europe and have released 4 studio albums.

Talk:Nando (media company)

message: I worked at Nando part time from 1994 to 1998 and jumped in to add more meat to this page years ago. After making a few paragraphs of additions to the page back then, I discovered that someone else had started a separate wikipedia page as NandO_Times, but all I had time to do then was add a link at the top to connect the two. Now I see the two have been merged; my small role was mentioned, but without my name. So I've added it for clarification, which probably breaks some Wikipedia rule by being "oral history" without external documentation. But it looks like that's the source of most of this page.

message: The page has been edited to take out true history and make an inaccurate representation by relying on the same sources that without question are slanted and meant to omit anything that was not rosey about Mr. Fisher and the white supremacy he brought to Florida. The article is simply historically inaccurate without major true facts to both his success and character.  In fact it plays right into the hands of the those that just banned African American education and critical race theory in Florida. For this reason, I ask for a higher review by senior wikipedia editors of the Fischer and Miami Beach pages.  They have been slanted to purposely omit extremely relevant history.  This comment has nothing to do with the person but with the accurate history.  Is Wikipedia a PR publication or a real tool?  If you support this Fisher page you are definitely WHITE.

I believe this is worth mentioning for the reason that this is was an unbelievable case in which an a criminal didn't attack an officer upon fleeing or was trapped but deliberately  made a false 911 call in an attempt to kill an officer(s). I can't speak for the U.S., but in Canada that's just unimaginable! It was a mind boggling and dreadful episode for the Town of Cobourg.

I think it is a notable event in Cobourg's history that did garner national and even international attention. Because of this, a brief note should be made about this incident with a link to a personal page on the constable. However, it should be limited to a simple mention because this page is about basic and general information regarding the town.

Talk:Leeching

message: I see someone added a template marking this page for a move to Wiktionary; I've removed the tag, for now, because I think it requires some consideration. If you examine the few backlinks this page has, you'll notice it's on my user page - specifically, an old "to do" item marked "Leeching - serious rewrite required". The rewrite I was thinking of was to turn it into an article, primarily, about its use in the technological sense; I now see that an article titled bandwidth theft already exists. 
One option would thus be to redirect this page there, but that requires an important judgement call on whether the medical term also deserves its own article. We already have bloodletting, which actually refers here, but is fairly thorough, so could probably bear including info on "leeching" if there's not too much to say. If both topics are equally valid (even if only as sections of other articles), then we can't redirect to either of them, which in my view makes this a classic candidate for disambiguation. Of course, if one of them isn't, then it can be a redirect; and if neither is, it can be transwiki'd and/or deleted.
All opinions, as always, are welcome. - IMSoP 20:43, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
