He deleted various informations from the page - Including Amhara relationships to the Aksum empire. And he is editing stuff based on his own agenda. Nobody is stopping him. He writing stuff which don’t even mentioned in the source, and deleted other information from other sources which doesn’t soothe his narrative. For example he wrote that it is “believe that the  Christianisation of Amharas begin in the Late Aksum empire period”. Believed by who? And that is just a single example. How come no one is stoping him and letting him do as he wish? 2A00:A041:E19A:2600:DDE7:776D:809B:6138 (talk) 21:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Finke River

message: It is stated in the article (as at 1 Jan 2007) that "Some scientists claim that the Finke River is the oldest river of the world", clearly taken from the quote that follows. However, while scientists (like Vic Baker) have said that this river is very old, I very much doubt that any scientist has ever said in the published scientific literature that the Finke River is the oldest river in the world. I grew up on the banks of the Finke River and am now a geologist, and have read most of the geological literature on the area, but I have never seen this stated in the professional scientific literature. However, it has been a popular tour bus driver story since as long as I can remember, and most locals assume it is scientific fact (something said often enough has a habit of becoming "fact"). Can anyone cite a credible reference? I'm planning to modify the article to reflect what I believe are the verifiable facts, though I think it's important to retain a mention to the oldest river myth because it is so widely known are believed.

replies: text: OK, the rewrite is done with the best references I could find. If anyone finds the ultimate source of the 'oldest river' claim, I'd love to know. PeterWH 16:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Peter's point (that the Finke is unlikely to be the world's oldest river) may be correct, but the edit has two problems. The first is that it is original (unreferenced) research, which wikipedia is not supposed to contain. The second is that the argument is flawed. The Todd and other rivers nearby may be as old, but there is no obvious evidence of this - no clear incised meanders. And more generally, a river isn't necessarily old just because the mountain range it traverses is old, so the existence of older mountain ranges is irrelevant. What is required is evidence that the river is older than the mountain range. I would suggest that the article should instead simply state that the river is very old (which is clearly true and supported by the references) and that locals claim that it is the oldest in the world - which is also clearly true (that the locals claim this, not that it actually is) and supported by the references. Written that way, it will cast sufficient doubt that any sensible reader will recognise the obvious unlikelihood that anyone has the means to go off and date the age of every river in the world. 147.47.244.162 16:19, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Optical rotation

message: Fixed: The discussion regarding invert sugar contains several errors.  Levulose is another name for fructose, not sucrose.  Sucrose, like glucose, is dextrorotatory (rotates the plane of polarization to the right).  Fructose (levulose) is even more strongly levorotatory than glucose is dextrorotatory.  Thus, an equal mixture of glucose and fructose (such as would be produced by hydrolysis of sucrose) will rotate polarization to the left.  The term "invert sugar" for such a mixture does indeed derive from the change in rotation that accompanies the hydrolysis, but the change is from right to left, not left to right.
This article was not general enough (mainly giving a chemist's view of optical activity). I have edited it and added a physical explanation of the phenomenon.--J S Lundeen 19:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Related RM 

message: The current version of the 10th amendment article claims that these words were added by the clerk and thus infers that no member of the Senate proposed the change and or the change had no discussion. It appears, of course, that all of the markup was handwritten by the clerk as that was his duty and the additions were not his idea or his doing other than as a scribe.  I have become quite interested in these words as it is my opinion that this addition as ratified by the states empowers the House of Representatives as the official representative of the people of the United States, to introduce any legislation such that if that legislation is approved by the Senate and President it will be valid against the states. Out of respect for the guarantee clause, these words make a 3 pronged distribution of power as opposed to just two.
If anyone has a better cite for these 3 words I would be very interested. Please see the current references in the current document. The Trucker (talk) 22:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an interesting and worthwhile sidenote, but a sidenote nonetheless. If the 10th amendment is a mere tautology, it is useless and already irrelevant. If, on the other hand, a power is reserved to a different entity besides the federal government, than the federal government does not have that power, making it irrelevant exactly which other entity (a state or a group of people or the people) have said ability/power. The feds lack the power anyways. But the history of these words and edits is worth exploring and if I find more info I'll make an update. Xam2580 (talk) 06:02, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Prussian Homage

message: Both peace agreements, the 1466 Second Treaty of Thorn and the 1525 Krakow Kuhhandel (cow trade) between Albrecht of Brandenburg-Prussia and his uncle Sigismund I were unauthorized and not recognized by either the popes nore the emperors, the supreme overlords.
"Kuhhandel"??? This is another ridiculous euphemism to mask the fact that Teutonic Order was smashed to pieces. Albrech Hohenzzolern tried to ally with Muscovy, but run out of funds and the whole country was overrun by Polish armies. Teutonic cities were opening gates and welcomed invaders as they were fed up with the high taxing imposed by the Order. They also wanted to trade with Poland. At the end Polish hetman, Mikolaj Firlej, besieged Albrecht Hohenzollern in Konignsberg in 1521 and both the emperor and the pope had to beg Sigismund I of Poland to spare Albrecht. But the Polish gentry pressed on and half of the Order's land was directly incorporated into the Kingdom of Poland (along with Danzig) so that Polish nobility could easily ship grain to England, France and the Netherlands, while the other half simply became a fief to the Kingdom of Poland. It also became a secular, protestant dependecy - because Sigismund and the Polish parliment could not give more than a stinking rat about pope's and emperor's wishes. Because he received reinforcements from the catholic emperor in 1519, Albrecht knew the only way to save his position was to became lutheran. This was then accepted by Sigismund and the Polish senate, and so in 1525 Prussian Homage took place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.10.7.32 (talk) 18:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
