Talk:Inayat Hussain Bhatti

message: Anybody reading this article will see that it is very poorly written and seriously lacking references. Some contributors seem to think this is Facebook or Twitter, and are posting their opinions and comments directly into the article. It needs a massive cleanup. Right now it reads like a love letter to a saint, rather than a wikipedia article. I plan to remove all the gushy, unreferenced praise. And also clean up the grammar. I appreciate the fans who have updated this article over the years are probably speaking English as a second, third or even fourth language, so the grammar issues are, naturally, understandable.

thread_title:  Alternative metal genere 

message: Let's see.  This article opens up with "Red Harvest is the upcoming album by New York metalcore band bloodsimple. It is expected to be released sometime in 2007".  So what the heck do we need a tag saying the same thing for on top?
This is tag pollution, short and simple.  Please, people, before adding a tag, ask yourself if it really helps this encyclopedia develop towards a more professional looking project.  World Book and Britannica don't need warning tags, and neither do we, if we just write the opening correctly (which someone already has).  All this tag does is distract from the encyclopedic nature of this project. Unschool 01:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Contact hypothesis

message: Isn't this hypothesis falsified?
The classic study made by Sherif in 1954 with the two groups of boys at a summer camp is usually used as an example of how this hypothesis was verified. Also, I believe very many peace projects around the world is based on this theory. Now, that does not prove it's correct, but it would seem there is no consensus that this is a productive way of reducing intergroup conflict Rasputinous (talk) 22:11, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: One recent meta-analysis (Paluck, Green, & Green, 2018) examines experimental evidence for the contact hypothesis and finds some support for the larger, canonical meta-analysis by Pettigrew and Tropp (2006). The evidence is, however, mixed, with larger reductions in prejudice towards some outgroups than for others. Furthermore, there is not a lot of longitudinal experimental research testing this hypothesis. That contact may reduce prejudice shortly following an intervention extends to a second question of how long (if at all) the benefits of quality intergroup contact may persist. It's particularly notable that no program of research has as yet systematically and experimentally varied the conditions that Allport specifies will facilitate prejudice reduction in intergroup contact. I plan to elaborate on the history around Allport's development of the hypothesis, and to update the page with more recent findings.
Jasoncchin (talk) 01:37, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've incorporated some findings from these meta-analyses and some other research from more recent years. I returned to the original Allport (1954)—chapters 16, 29, and 30, and tried to incorporate other nuances of his original positions, which may not have received as much attention in the research following his era. I also tried to couch his formulation of the contact hypothesis in the historical context of school desegregation, and Brown v. Board in particular.

Talk:Clubhouse (TV series)

message: Clubhouse was removed from the CBS broadcast schedule just before the sixth episode, "Road Trip," was to air (November 13, 2004); I have a clear memory of this, since I had particularly wanted to see that sixth episode. The series was subsequently picked up by HDNet, which broadcast the entire series in 2005. "Viewers can now watch all episodes of the series, including six previously unaired," the HDNet press release states. A total of eleven episodes are listed at IMDb. I've edited the episode list here to match the IMDb since no source was cited for the episode sequence and air dates. If a better source is available that can be cited, please feel free to make corrections. — WFinch (talk) 03:45, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: University Alumni

message: The Motto of the University of Jordan in Arabic is Aya 151 in Surah Al-Baqarah in The Holy Quran: ﴾وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ الْكِتابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ﴿
I'm trying to find an accurate (or as much accurate) translation of this Aya. Since it's an Aya from the Quran I don't want have any mistakes in my translation and make sure the context is presented to the reader. 
I've researched the tafsirs of the Aya, mainly the tafsirs of Ibn-Katheer and Al-Tabri which you find in the website quran.ksu.edu.sa . I've also researched for the most accurate English translation of the Quran and found the following website QuranEnc.com, which I hope has the most accurate and correct translation, with what I hope was enough to allow me to translate the Aya; this is the translation I was able to achieve: 
﴾وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ الْكِتابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ﴿      :    And He (Prophet Muhammad PBUH) teaches you the Book (Quran) and wisdom (Sunah)
My translation differs slightly from that of the English Quran, also الْحِكْمَةَ can be either the teachings of the Quran itself (الفقه) or the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH (السنة) based on the tafsirs of the the Islamic scientists mentioned above.
I don't want to make an edit that might be controversial, this is why I opted to post the issue to the talk page first so all editors and users can have a fruitful discussion. 
If no discussion happened regarding this issue I'll choose to not change the present motto in the article. Thank you for reading. -SerenityAndPatience (talk) 20:45, 06 September 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Richard Wagner/List of article-worthy Wagner singers

message: Have just added the casts of Furtwangler 1950 Ring, Solti Ring, Kempe Lohengrin, Karajan Meistersinger, a Furtwangler Walkure and the Solti Tannhauser.
I think you'll need to include people who have only done one major role, at least if it is major enough. And I don't think we should exclude people who do smaller roles, because they too are very important! In fact, one difficulty will be to know which is which, and who hasn't done what. I recommend add them all in, and then put a star or something next to any that seem to be too minor to require special reference. Maybe a second list, for 'lesser Wagnerians?! Much easier to pick them out later when we can see what we get - (IMO.) Dr Steven Plunkett 16:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. As you can see I am trying to sort them out by fach. In the case of the early singers I have been trying to find their first names.

Talk:University of Pittsburgh Varsity Marching Band

The Pitt Bands official site has listed the traditional date of 1911 during the Ohio Northern game, however, I have found reference (see article) to a band existing as early as 1904 according to the the 1931 Owl student yearbook.

Talk:Whitney Straight

message: The Donington Park page says:
"The first Donington Park Trophy race was held on 7 October 1933, and was won by the Earl Howe in a Bugatti Type 51."
This is in conflict with this page. Motor Sport, November 1933, Page 37 gives Earl Howe as the winner of the 20-lap invitation event on 7 October; Whitney Straight is given as a non-starter. I can find no evidence of Whitney Straight winning a race at Donington in 1933. Rupertlt (talk) 21:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

It could be someone tried to cram two articles into one.  But I think it more likely someone copied his father's article, and then tried to keep the skeleton of it, and change everything that didn't apply.

message: The date given for the foundation of the university is highly dubious. We do not have precise foundation dates for any universities before the 13th century. Also, I doubt if you can speak of this as one of the "oldest" when it was dissolved again and refounded centuries later, so that apart from the name there is no continuity between the two institutions. "Earliest" maybe. Finally, no 13th century university had more than 5000 students. The figure of 20000 must refer to the modern university. --Doric Loon (talk) 20:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
