Talk:Mike Stone (record producer)

message: Is this the Mike Stone of Clay Records? If so, someone might want to add links in the 2 articles to each other and remove the duplicate on the Mike Stone disambiguation page. Boleyn2 (talk) 09:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: We appear to have two different Mike Stone's merged into one article here.
Mike "Clay" Stone (The former owner of Clay Records) is very much alive and is currently the manager of English rock/metal group Demon. Apart from the reference to Demon in the opening paragraph, this article does not represent him at all. It all belongs with the other Mike Stone who died in 2002. 
The "Clay" in his name should therefore be deleted and any reference to the band Demon.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tronkmeister (talk • contribs) 08:39, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge with Rashidun Army 

message: This is an excellent article, but requires some rebalancing to bring it up to the standards of similar articles Military of ancient Rome, United States Armed Forces or Byzantine army.  The current article reads extols the army in every way (tactics, strategy, organization and conduct) and reads like an advertisement.  
* Remarkably little critical analysis of conduct, given that the army was responsible for imperial conquests.
* Lack of listing of major actions
* Evolution to the post-Rashidun period
* Role in the political system  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.178.108.5 (talk) 08:44, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: "Another remarkable strategy developed by Khalid and later followed by others generals"
I changed that. This strategy was not thought by Khalid. It was a strategy which was developed by Al-Muthanna ibn Haritha during his conquest of Persia.
"During the conquest of Persia, Arab archers were noted to be using very heavy arrows, referred to as "bolts" by Persian witnesses, that possessed exceptional armour piercing capability at short range. One Persian chronicler wrote that while the light arrow shot by Persian archers would often be stopped by the Arab padded clothing, the Arabs' own bolts would tear through their opponent's hauberks and "double cuirasses"."
''
What is this? Where is the source on this claim. I've read many battles fought between Rashidun army and Persian Sassanid army and most Muslim chroniclers described that Persian arrows were much more lethal than Arabian arrows. Though it was possible that Rashidun army might have modified their arrows into better armor-piercing version to counter the Persian arrows, I would like some source on that. 113.210.7.181 (talk) 00:18, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:George Fisher

message: I removed 
: *George Fisher (film actor), played Ivan Argianiyev in Be Cool
having suspected it immediately of n-n bcz someone apparently thot that his most notable role was in a film whose title i didn't recognize. (It's the sequel to Get Shorty, which i saw in first run and would watch again, on cable, FWIW.) This one's got Travolta & Uma Thurman (and Keitel, and DeVito again, and James Woods), but i don't think it made much of a splash. More importantly, GF appears only on the "whole cast" list rather than among about 15 on the main page.   He is, no question, a Hollywood pro: he has a successful acting career, and in fact also a successful stunt career. But that doesn't make him notable.  Offhand, i'd say that he probably has a decent chance of getting a Wiki-bio written that doesn't get deleted (which is the whole point of having a Dab entry) if there's a movie  
# that's been reviewed by the New York Times,
# that's got a favorable review from either them or Rotten Tomatoes, and
# for which IMDb lists him on the film's main page.
In that case, i'd drop my current opposition to giving him a Dab-page entry. (But the entry above should then be rewritten to reflect that film in place of Be Cool.)  (There may be some problem with the title, since "film actor" is a lousy way to distinguish him from the film actor George Fisher (actor), but IMO that's not worth anyone worrying about, unless they think he is going to get an article.) --Jerzy•t 01:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

When you give the date as 1833-06-10, to an English person that is nearly as unhelpful as giving it in Russian script.  When I looked at it, I had to work out whether this meant 6th October 1833 or 10th June.--Toddy1 10:42, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I just did some investigating, and although it IS a perfectly acceptable way of linking dates according to the Wiki style guide, it only works correctly if you are logged in - so yes I agree there is plenty of potential for confusion. I was under the impression that it would always render it out so that 1833-10-06 would become October 6 1833 by default.

Talk:Emil Salim

message: Shamelessly edited from World Bank reference
The World Bank in July 2001 launched an independent review called the Extractive Industries Review. The review was headed by an "Eminent Person", Dr. Emil Salim (former Environment Minister of Indonesia). Dr. Salim held consultations with a wide range of stakeholders in 2002 and 2003. The EIR recommendations were published in January 2004 in a final report entitled "Striking a Better Balance". The report concluded that fossil fuel and mining projects do not alleviate poverty, and recommended that World Bank involvement with these sectors be phased out by 2008 to be replaced by investment in renewable energy and clean energy. The World Bank published its Management Response to the EIR in September 2004. The EIR served to alter the World Bank's policies on oil, gas and mining. Following the EIR process, the World Bank issued a revised Policy on Indigenous Peoples.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.149.106 (talk) 09:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
