message: I have changed the title and contents to "Courtesy tenure" from "Curtesy tenure". Can't see why odd spelling was used. Collins Dictionary states "Courtesy" correct spelling. It was the courtesy (i.e. good grace, charity) of the king which enabled spouses of his tenants-in-chief to remain in occupation of estates which would otherwise have escheated to the crown. Presumably the feudal barons followed the king's lead and offered similar grace to their own tenants, and so on down the feudal social scale. The "Courtesy of England" surely refers to the Courtesy of the (King of) England? (Lobsterthermidor (talk) 22:56, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Template talk:Obituary

message: I somehow magically found this template, and I think maybe you should replace "is thusly unsuitable" with "should be rewritten."  Or perhaps, "should be rewritten."  I realize this is a new template, so I'm going to hesitate on being bold for a moment in case you had anything in mind, but I'll make the changes if my comment sits here for a few days.

replies: text: Oh yeah, I agree completley, although I was thinking "therefore is" to replace thusly, and that's probably what I'll do, but this is just as much your template as mine, so if you think the others are better I won't revert you if you make the change. Sorry about that - I neevr use thusly in my vocab, but I think I was listening to the radio as I was writing this, and a comment there got stuck in my head so I just wasn't thinking clearly. --danielfolsom 02:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Wow, ok I agree with most of what you did, and feel free to revert me on this - but I almost feel like notability and tone of an article are entirely different things - I mean it'd be like saying "This article reads like an obituary ...

message: We have to ask the obvious question regarding the origin of Hadrian temple, also known as Kyzikus. The swastikas depicted on the remnants of the temple unmistakably prove that this incredible structure was built by ancient Nazis. There are two possible explanations for this. They were either Nazis who invented a time machine and went back to ancient Erdek to construct a temple. Or Hadrian was the great-great-great grandfather of Adolf Hitler who traveled to Erdek from Austria for a summer vacation and who liked the water there so much, despite the algae, that he decided to stay there. So, in which section should I add this part in the article? In the Monuments section or History? Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.189.205.75 (talk) 10:40, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Three-Year Plan

message: State planning at best redirects investment, which itself inherently reduces the rate of economic growth.  By the very nature of the free market, a plan can *at best* equal the free market; as such, I find it extremely questionable that superior economic growth can be attributed to this plan.  I would argue, especially based on the Soviet experience, that economic growth was happening anyway and in fact would have been higher had the plan not interfered.
As such, this page's argument that the plan was "successful" is incorrect.  It attributes to the plan something which would have happened anyway, and in fact, happened to a greater extent.

replies: text: Please read WP:V and WP:OR. We have (modern, not communist) sources that state this plan was succesfull.

Talk:Deiotarus

message: ==Deiotarix I?==
Is there any authority for the form Deiotarix as opposed to Deiotarus? Comparing this article and that for Brogitarus, I suspect that an editor believes that -ix is an all-purpose Celtic ending for names like this (nominative singular, second declension). That's not the case. The suffix -rix (also found as -rixs, -ρειξ and the like) is exactly cognate to Latin rex and means 'king'. If Deiotarus is second declension, its Celtic form should be Deiotaros. (But remember we're in the Greek East here, so we would not be likely to find Celtic names written in Latin letters in any case...) 
Also, why is there a regnal number after his name? The convention that kings require numerical proof of their royalty is a strictly modern one (we have Juan Carlos I, Henri I and Jacques I of Haiti, Bokassa I of the Central African Empire – all royal parvenus, so to say – but just plain King John for the English king, Louis-Philippe, Queen Anne, King Stephen, Queen Victoria, etc, all with no numerals). The numerical fetish was altogether unknown to the ancients. If genuine, the epithet Deiotaros Philoromaios would have been quite enough to distinguish this Deiotarus from others of history.

Most of these segments do not even last 30 seconds but were shot in a completely different scenery, often involving extras and elaborate furnishing. Besides the actors this form of storytelling was the main asset of the show, but might have proven to difficult to follow for a more lowbrow audience.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.180.112.142 (talk) 08:35, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Jadera haematoloma

message: I have kept a couple of red-shouldered bugs (Jadera Haematoloma) in a terrarium before and I would like to say some things for people that are considering keeping them as terrarium insects. First off, they mate like crazy. Every time I check mine at least one pair is mating. I don't mind but to someone who wants to make sure that the population they chose stays that way you are in luck because you can easily see the difference between the male and female variants of Jadera Haematoloma. Females look much larger and their red bodies are more present. While males are smaller and their wings cover most of the red colorization. Going on, they will need many hiding spots. I use pine cones and a seed from a Koelreuteria paniculata tree, (or a Goldenrain tree). They will eat the seeds as well. They are very easy to maintain but you do need to clean out the soil and such at least once a week and you will need to mist the terrarium a couple times a day. They are great terrarium pets and I hope this message has helped. AdvilForAnOctopus (talk) 16:48, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Dikka

message: Proposing merging Müezzin mahfili into Dikka.
Both articles are about the same topic, one is simply titled after the Arabic word, the other is titled after the Turkish term. This is not a topic with many detailed references so, needless to say, there's no reason to have two stub articles about the same thing.
To make things clear, here are examples of both terms being defined in published sources: "a raised platform (Arab. dikka) of wood or stone from which the Koran or responses to the prayer leader are recited"; and "the müezzin mahfili, a covered marble pew from where the müezzin chants the responses to the prayers of the imam" (Or also this example.)
The direction of merge isn't crucial, but this article is older and müezzin mahfili is generally reserved for Turkish contexts, whereas dikka is more often cited in glossaries of general Islamic architecture references, e.g.: If there's a more common name used in English sources, I suggest making an RM for the merged article afterwards.

Why no history of the event before this date? Surely the earlier history is relevant. Why no mention of winners in the earlier adult and worldwide competitions? This article focuses on what appears to be exclusively Jewish recent events, and ignores the earlier events open to everyone regardless of religion. For example, the 1961 event was won jointly Mrs Yolanda da Silva of Brazil and another, and the 1964 event was won by Graham Mitchell of Australia. Neither of these were Jewish.
