Talk:George Sale

message: :One of the most famous English translations was by George Sale in 1734, who included a detailed explanatory discourse. Sale depended largely on Maracci's Latin version (he could not fully master the Arabic language). His tutor was an Italian named Dadichi, the king's interpreter at the time. Although Voltaire asserted that Sale had spent "five and twenty years in Arabia where he had acquired a profound knowledge of the Arabic language and customs," this was ruled out in his biography by the historian R.A. Davenport as being "opposed by the stubborn evidence of dates and facts."
:Undeniably Sale's translation of the Quran contains many faults, each one indicating that he could not have fully grasped the Arabic language. But despite its many inaccuracies, Sale's version has gone through some thirty editions; it was retranslated into Dutch in 1742, German in 1764, French in 1750, Russian in 1792, Swedish in 1814, and into Bulgarian in 1902.

If George Sale died in 1736 from a fever, he cannot have been a major contributor to An Universal History in 1747, or vice versa.

Talk:Alexander Frolov

message: I couldn't find a source anywhere for Frolov signing with Avangard Omsk for the 2005–06 season.  My source for his 2005 contract with the Kings that was supposedly signed a month after his contract with Avangard indicates that there was, in fact, no contract dispute.  Here is the removed content if a source can otherwise be provided: Frolov became a restricted free agent before the 2005–06 NHL season, and underwent initial difficulties in agreeing on a new contract with the Kings. He instead signed a one-year contract with Avangard Omsk of the Russian Super League.  However, a month later, in August, he signed a 5-year, $14.5 million contract with the Kings.

Talk:North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement

message: The opening sentence says: "...NARBA, is a treaty that took effect in March 1941 and set out an international bandplan and interference rules..."
...A treaty between which governments!? Duh. Why is past history being given before a current definition/description? ....Talking about something not yet defined!? The past belongs in the History section, yet there is none. But there is a "Current Status" section!   Huh!? That's backwards.  Why is past tense and present tense continually intermingled? This so-called free form "format" is not clear nor concise, nor logical...it's confusing. Also see: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section). The number of stations should be given as part of the definition, if it's 5, or 5,000 is also a qualitative and conceptual measure of the treaty. Also the need for this treaty should be given up front as part of the concept: "Why?" The second paragraph says: "Among its major features were..." ...and it lists two.  All of the major features should be given here. ...other details are later given, but none are noted as these promised "major features."  Quote: "500 kHz, which must be protected by all stations everywhere." What does "protected" mean? 
In short, the concept should be given in a hurry, rather than in the style of one paid by the word to a captive audience who is on a leisurely vacation. If fact this style fulfills the mythical; "obfuscate but give the facts," editorial directive. 
Again: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section) Quotes:  "The lead serves both as an introduction to the article and as a summary of its most important aspects. The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview of the article. It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important points—including any prominent controversies. ...and the notability of the article's subject should usually be established in the first few sentences. "
Also: First sentence
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MOSINTRO#First_sentence  
The article should begin with a declarative sentence telling the nonspecialist reader what (or who) is the subject.
...If its subject is amenable to definition, then the first sentence should give a concise definition: where possible, one that puts the article in context for the nonspecialist. Similarly, if the title is a specialised term, provide the context as early as possible....etc  --68.127.87.79 (talk) 00:33, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Shouting fire in a crowded theatre

message: This is my first attempt at editing.  I'm guessing I should explain why I did and the summary box is to small to really cover it.  I added "the right of" and changed "liberally granted" to "acknowledged."  Adding "the right of" was really just to clarify what "freedom of speech" is.  That's a minor point.  If someone wants to revert that I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.  Changing "liberally granted" to "acknowledged" is much more important IMO.  Saying that the Constitution grants rights seems to say they don't exist unless a law creates them.  What a law creates another law can take away.  Rights are presumed to pre-exist the Constitution so it only recognizes them.
As I said this is my first edit so if I didn't follow protocol please feel free to chastise me.
