Talk:Bible and Spade

message: Bible and Spade is written by the organization headed by Bryant G. Wood a archeologist who has published several articles in the notable publication   Biblical Archaeological review
I cite the following articles:
*Bryant G. Wood, "Did the Israelites Conquer Jericho? A New Look at the Archaeological Evidence," Biblical Archaeological Review 16(2) (March/April 1990): 44-58.
*Bryant G. Wood, "Dating Jericho’s Destruction: Bienkowski Is Wrong on All Counts, BAR 16:05, Sep/Oct 1990
*Bryant G. Wood, The Philistines Enter Canaan, BAR 17:06, Nov/Dec 1991
A leading Christian website Christiananswers.net features Dr. Woods publication Bible and Spade:
http://abr.christiananswers.net/bible-and-spade.html
I see no reason for wikipedia not offering a broad perspective of viewpoints especially if the publication is headed by someone who is published in respected publications such as Biblical Archaeological Review.

thread_title: Bryant G. Wood

message: From Chronic2 (talk)
Wikipedia has articles on the following journals or magazines that might be considered in roughly the same category as Bible and Spade. None of these have a notability notice.
Andrews University Seminary Studies. Articles on archaeology, Biblical interpretation, church history (not a subject covered by Bible and Spade), etc. 
Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. This covers topics such as the archaeology of the Book of Mormon, historical studies in the Book of Mormon, etc. 
"Notability" can be a subjective matter. However, a rough idea of whether a periodical is significant can be found by going to WorldCat and seeing how many libraries worldwide subscribe to the periodical. For the three journals mentioned above, the results are: 
Andrews University Seminar Studies (AUSS): 186
Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought: 13 
Bible and Spade: 152
This indicates that Bible and Spade is to be found in slightly fewer libraries than AUSS, and in far more libraries than "Dialogue."
For consistency the notability notice should be removed. 
I have corrected the sentence about the contents of Bible and Spade. It is an archaeological journal. It does not have articles about creation vs. evolution or church history.
Chronic2 (talk) 15:29, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Other stuff exists is never considered a good argument in Wikipedia. There are still huge numbers of articles which don't meet notability guidelines, and you can't use comparisons to decide notability. If this is an archaeological journal, it will be found referenced in other archaeological journals and books, and that might establish notability. Oops, that seems to be a problem. Thanks for raising the issue. I'll AfD it now. dougweller (talk) 16:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Nadine Salameh

message: *The original article seemed to be based on the official bio (but not an exact copy).  I didn't add any facts (personal to her), but removed some that seemed dubious.
*Every link to to her official web site appears (unconfirmed) to be done by the same person who made the web site, so should be disregarded when doing a "Google hit count" for notability.
*Her bio said she's "from Acre" in "occupied Palestine" (aka Israel).  Yet, she was born in Lebanon, and moved to Syria at age 3.  She never, seemed to move to Israel.  She definately wasn't there originally.  A possible reason could be that her ancestors were from Acre, and fled to Lebanon circa 1948.  If that happened even her dad was to young to have ever lived in Acre.  So, the official bio must have a major factual error and/or substantial omissions.
*Her dad permanently disapeared in the 1982 war, and a different source gives her birth as 1980, meaning she was 2 when he disappeared.  .  
*If this was an American actress, with so little written up, I would vfd it, but given that she's arab, it might be that little comes up becomes I'm only doing an English language search for her.  If the rest of her bio is legit, than she warrants an article.
*Nadine Salameh has an imdb enter as Nadeen Salameh, but it only has a single entry for Ruaa halema.  So, I though it's not worth mentioning. 
*Hoax possibility:  I pretty much ruled this out.  At first it seemed odd an Arabic person would have a web site with no Arabic, and no links to Arabic sites.  But, there is mention of her and her dad in independent sites, so she seems real.  But, I wish an Arabic speaker would fix this article (one way or another).

message: Hi, Ed g2s! 
I think your last edit had an inadvertant side effect.
The football kit box is currently unable to "align left". See here, for example – though both kits are aligned left, they actually appear on the right of the page. Also, if you preview them next to each other, they will appear one below the other, rather than what it should be (and what it was before your last edit) - next to one another. Do you think you could have a look at that, please? Thanks in advance! BigSteve (talk) 14:05, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You are absolutely right, the align parameter is simply gone - since two years ago!... Since then, it uses the "first parameter", such as  instead of the original . I'll try and fix it, although some people might of course be using the "first parameter" standard now. We'll see; I can always change it then to make it accept both parameters. —Sygmoral (talk) 17:12, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Ahmad Kamal Faridi

message: 69.30.97.156, welcome to Wikipedia! This is interesting work about a writer little known in the West.
One spot of advice: with pages for characters from novels, it's the convention here to lead with an introduction (like the edit I just made) telling where the character comes from. The Felix Leiter page for the James Bond series character is a good example. This is why Splash put a context tag on the page.  Tearlach 19:46, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Atypical gender identities

message: You have put up a message header on Atypical Gender Identies requesting improvements. Unfortunately you have given no idea of what you want. A clear message on the discussion page for that article would be greatly appreciated. 金 (Kim) 19:26, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Pearle did not add the cleanup request; User:Bcat did, at 20:01, 28 June 2005.  Pearle is merely sorting these requests by month, which is why the edit summary says "Changing  to " and why the tag now says "This article has been tagged since June 2005."  As far as I can tell, Bcat did not leave a message on Wikipedia:Cleanup/June or this talk page specifying what type of cleanup is needed.  Skimming this article, though, it needs some wikification, including section headers and more links. It is also not NPOV, e.g. "would serve to deceive".  But more importantly, there is enough overlap with gender identity, intersexuality, and sex to completely merge this text into those articles.  If that's not done, then all of those articles would need to link here and probably some content from them moved in or copied. -- Beland 19:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup request

message: This article is so hopelessly bad, that I think it needs to be rewritten entirely. Until then, I make it into a redir. Among the points against it:
* Intersex has per se nothing to do with having an atypical gender identity. Even if it had, this part would belong to Intersex.
* How one manages to give examples for AGI and not mention western transgender people is something I don't think I want to understand. 
* Hijra - Exactly what is " ... and frequently are transexual as a part of the ritual requirement of their gender role" supposed to mean? It does not make any sense.
* Winkte - if refering to Native Americans in general, this is the wrong term. The proper one is Two-Spirit.
* Yinyang ren 陰陽人 - The example gives no indication at all of an AGI - it sounds like a plain bisexual man. (And it is directly copied from the article.) -- AlexR 23:21, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Great; I contribute to an article and it vanishes the next day... (I added the subsection on Polynesian fa'afafine). Redirecting this to gender identities is absurd: the latter does not adress the issue of non-Western identities which happen to be outside the male/female bounds. If it's going to claim to be an encylcopedia article, that needs remedying. I'll see if I can recover what I wrote in this article, and transfer it to gender identities. Aridd 15:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, well, and this article was not only an almagation of often rather unrelated ideas, it did not bother to mention western AGIs, either. Well, you see what I wrote above. If you want this to be an article again instead of a redit, why not write it? The old one was hopelessly bad. This of course does not preclude a new one from being written. -- AlexR 16:10, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Southmead

message: :The area lends its name to the NHS-run Southmead Hospital, although this is actually situated in the neighbouring district of Westbury on Trym. 
I was quite surprised by the assertion that the Hospital is in Westbury on Trym, as Southmead Hospital is much nearer to Greystoke Avenue than Westbury High Street, is in BS10 not BS9 and is in Horfield Ward. But then again, the NHS thinks it is, and the Royal Mail's address finder agrees. This seemed very weird, even absurd.
On reflection, however, I did some more research, and it turns out that Southmead Hospital (founded as a workhouse) predates both Southmead estate and most of Henleaze. In 1901 it was obviously part of Westbury on Trym parish (see this history of the territory of WoT church parish). Since then Southmead and Henleaze have been built up and have developed their own identities, leaving the Hospital as a sort of panhandle or even an exclave of WoT. I think it's an anachronism, and would surprise a lot of Bristolians, but maybe there is some sense to it. --rbrwr± 22:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
