Talk:Principles of Islamic jurisprudence

message: The term Ra'y as a principle of Islamic jurisprudence has its roots in the early debate between Muslim scholars as to the interpretation of the divine texts. The idea of the followers of Ra'y was to use reason as the basis of Islamic legal interpretation. Ra'y could be placed within the context of fiqh but it must be differentiated from usul al-fiqh, since usul al-fiqh was the attempt by Imam Shafi'i to reconcil the differences between the schools of Ra'y (reason) and Hadith (revelation). Usul al-fiqh and the following period of taqlid (imitation) virtually closed the debate between reason and revelation until the late nineteenth century utilitarian reforms of Muhammad Abduh and Rashid Rida.

thread_title:  no kidding 

message: This article does a great job describing Islamic jurisprudence in it's various forms, development and important figures. However, I'm curious if there's any evidence which would support the traditional view that al-Shafi'i is responsible for founding Islamic jurisprudence? The article seems to imply that such a view is more or less a tradition that lacks an empirical base. Thank you for your time.Jakes22 (talk) 19:40, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

text: Touhou Project can be found in the graph from the article. The survey is about 「推し」 (Oshi), which the article defines as 「人に薦めたいと思うほど好感を持っている人や物」 (Thing, person etc. that someone likes to the extent they want to recommend it to someone else). The full article can only be read in the magazine, but from the online version, it seems they surveyed over 50,000 people on December 16th, where or how is not said, about what things that they recommend (Oshi), as well as they age and gender. This is not a demographic study of any particular fandoms but a more broad study across a general population, it also only looks at fans who recommend (Oshi) rather than all fans, so it's accuracy for individual fandom demographics is hard to know. For this reason, I don't think this study should be used as demographic data for any of the fandoms mentioned. NyanKatGrrrl (talk) 15:05, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Katakana/Hiragana 

message: Strabo mentions "Cathaia" as a place beyond India (book XV.1.30), and the Loeb edition at least identifies this as Cathay/China, so if that is correct the name would appear to be in use in the ancient Greek/Roman world as well. (He also mentions "Seres" as noted in that article.) I am hesitant to add this because I'm sure there is much more up to date scholarship than the old Loeb edition, which may not agree with the identification, but I have no idea. Adam Bishop (talk) 08:40, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting. Indeed, not only "Cathaia" in the English translation, but Κάθαίαν in the Greek edition as well. Nineteenth century authors discuss it, and some apparently believed that it's China (comments in 1857 edition), while others seem to deny the association on various grounds: The Edinburgh Encyclopedia.

replies: text: No, this decision could not be used to uphold the right to wear Nazi armbands; Tinker did not uphold a right to wear armbands (or other accessories) generally; it's about weighing the student's right to self-expression against the interest of the school to prevent the educational process from being disrupted.

thread_title:  Year established needs fixing 

message: Even though the school has accumulated a vast amount of rich history, it cannot be helped that as the school meets its untimely end, corruption within the teaching facilities spring forward. There have been a few incidents where teachers have abused their power and marked down students based solely on a personal prejudice. More so, many marking rubrics now utilized by the school are completely subjective, thereby eliminating the need for a rubric. Marking rubrics handed out to students now contain criteria such as "5, Excellent organization, 4, Very good organization, 3, Good organization, etc..."
Queen Elizabeth High School does not allow student-based evaluations, because it may stir unrest amongst the staff. While the effort to keep the atmosphere calm is notable, it is being done at the price of an education. Teachers who, by the majority of students, are believed to be inapt mentors still retain their position within the schools. As a result, in many classes, students are being under educated. There is a lingering fear that even the brighter, more capable students will be overlooked by prestigious universities who know of Queen Elizabeth High School's poor teaching conditions. However, there are many notable staff who teach with enthusiasm and skill.''
This passage has been added, but  I don't think it adds much to the article. This "criticism" could be applied almost any school.

I've tried to follow these guidelines, but a couple of editors keep reverting without reason. Strugglehouse (talk) 11:59, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Those guidelines are under the heading Multiple, changed, and former names. Companies do keep changing their names. E.g. when Hotel Chocolat went public, it changed from a limited company to a plc. The guidelines say we should refer to the current name, not the former name. They are not saying we must follow the exact formatting found in their filing. Prudential call themselves Prudential plc throughout their legal materials and elsewhere. That is how they are listed on the stock markets etc., but yes, their form with companies house spelled out plc in full. Yet the shortened "Prudential plc" is 10 times more common than the written out form, and, importantly, is the current name of the company. Plc or Public Limited Company is stylistic. In the same way we might say Mr Smith and not insist that he is really Mister Smith, so too Prudential plc == Prudential Public Limited Company.
