thread_title:  Culprits 

message: There is some discussion above about the existence of telegraphs in 1814, and whether the term telegram was in use then. I realise that that discussion took place about 18 years ago,and in any case has been satisfactorily resolved. But let me add my €0,02 worth.
According to Bill Bryson, a telegraph was in use at least as early as the French Revolution. This was a semaphore system, and was used in Britain, France and elsewhere. The first telegram as we understand the term today - à la Samuel Morse - was sent in 1844, but "it would not be called a telegram for another twelve years".
Bryson also notes that Morse's first ever telegraph message was not "What God hath wrought?" That message was in fact used at a later public demonstration. Morse's first message was "Everything worked well".

message: I really think the word 'fired' shouldn't be placed next to names in the contents list (and hence the section titles) as it appears before the spoiler template and makes avoiding spoliers pretty much impossible.

message: I've just massivley overhauled the article, adding all the candidate biographical information into a table, along with the websites which were listed under external links. I took the opportunity to remove a huge amount of the personal opinion in the biographies, since this is an encyclopedia and we should stick to verifiable facts. For that reason, I also removed the "dramatic tension" for each of the weekly tasks. Such comments were entirely a personal opinion, and made the article read like a review of the series, which as an encyclopedia article it should not be. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 10:43, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Jebel Al Mebrah

message: "Dangerousroads.org" seems to have taken some of the information from previous information on this article  so using it for citation seems to be a catch 22.
Additionally, I'm unsure if it is the highest peak.  There is a summit/peak to the east in the same range with 2 high spots (hard to pick the main one).  It is unclear if it is Oman or the UAE due to different placements of borders on different map providers (google/OSM etc.).
Also access seems to be temporarily allowed now.  On my last visit the military had moved down the road 5km and allowed access.  The day before however they blocked access at the standard junction by the town/village of mayer (Sp).
Additionally I believe the mountain name means something like 'observation' in Arabic.  Could a fluent Arabic speaker confirm this or better translate this please?
I'm a little unsure of all those points, so I'll wait for a while for other comments before editing it the best I can. Ben robbins (talk) 15:12, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
Talk:Mount Hermon

message: I don't want to include other details about the connection between Mt. Sinai/Hermon of Exodus and the Pyramids of Egypt, but I think it's misleading not to include the meaning of the word "hrm" in the Arabic language, especially since the name Mt. Hermon was not coined by the Israelites and is seen in many other Semitic religious books such as the Epic of Gilgamesh for example:
Epic of Gilgamesh V: -The ground split open with the heels of their feet, as they whirled around in circles, Mt. Hermon and Lebanon split.
It's also called "Mount Haramoun" in Lebanon, not just Mt. Hermon. 
On a more important note, the word هرم (pronounced Haram) does not have any other meanings than "Pyramid" in Arabic. It does not mean "sacred enclosure", the only reason that might've happened is because pyramids themselves are thought to be sacred enclosures, not the opposite. The word "هرم" is used to describe any object that is pyramidal in shape. --ConfusedEnoch (talk) 06:35, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

I tried to verify it with the original text, to see what it exactly was about, but I did not find anything helpful, neither on the internet, nor in a hopefully complete list of ancient Anaximander quotes and fragments in an old book of mine (Die Vorsokratiker I, Reclam 1983).

thread_title: Proposed merge

message: See first para: "is the first of six branchial arches that develops in fetal life" (my italics). This is confusing. Is it the first of six brancial arches that develop (note the plural verb)? In other words, there are six that develop (note the plural verb) in foetal life, and this is one of them? Or is it one of six branchial arches per se and just this one develops in foetal life?
This is a common error if the former is meant. The correct usage is "the first of six . . . that develop" - "six that develop, the first of"; or take as another example, "one of the people who were there", or, put another way, "the people who were there, one of" (whereas you'd mostly see, erroneously, "one of the people who was there" - wrong).
