Talk:Najwa Ghanem

message: The source for her 10 children with Bin Laden comes from a pro-jewish properanda website, is this really approiate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.190.185 (talk • contribs) 
This person is the only one of Bin Laden's five wives to have her own article, but it is far from obvious that she was the most important.  This article was not much larger than what was said about her in Childhood, education and personal life of Osama bin Laden even before my attempted merge, and I have now copied most of it in.  Is there any serious objection to merging? PatGallacher (talk) 13:12, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As a published author doesn't she deserve her own page? I'm sure there is plenty to expand the article with from her book. Leaving her alone under bin Laden doesn't give editors enough leeway to expand on her biography, in my opinion. Shootbamboo (talk) 02:55, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Setup man

message: I notice that my removal of Rodriguez' paragraph was reverted. I would like to note that, despite the newspaper article cited, Rodriguez did not fit the definition of setup reliever provided on this page either during the season or during the playoffs. Did the term have a different definition in 2002? Or was Curry talking out of his rear end because he wasn't familiar with the player (who had only pitched in 5 MLB games before the 2002 postseason)? -Dewelar (talk) 00:20, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I ran across multiple articles that called him a setup man in 2002. It's likely an indication that the term is used loosely, as most roles are.  We could remove it on the technicality, but I'd say due weight of sources merits him being considered a setup pitcher. I have ideas on when people "really" use the term setup, but that would be pure WP:OR.—Bagumba (talk) 00:27, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Here are some more sources.—Bagumba (talk) 00:37, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Also, I believe the "setup" designation is based on his role in his 11 games in the playoffs, not his regular season role.—Bagumba (talk) 00:44, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As I mentioned above, that usage pattern doesn't look like the role as defined in this article either. I think the fact that the definition of the role is somewhat fluid should be better expressed therein. Also, why the heck is the article title "setup pitcher"? "Setup man" is heard much more commonly, I'd say. -Dewelar (talk) 14:28, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The current wording has qualifiers like "usually" and "often".  Can you provide specific examples? We should make sure any changes are verifiable.—Bagumba (talk) 02:43, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps what I'm looking for is more of a rephrasing to define what a setup man is when he's not what's defined in the article. As far as the article title, I'd refer you first to the links you provided about Rodriguez, in which the term "setup man/men" is used in all four to describe the role (including a mention of an MLB poll where voters determined the "Setup Man of the Year") while "setup pitcher" is used in only one. -Dewelar (talk) 21:11, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No opinion on article title; feel free to boldly move the article.—Bagumba (talk) 06:28, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Regarding the definition, maybe you can name a clear-cut setup man and explain how that fails the definition as currently written.—Bagumba (talk) 06:28, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:B'hoy and g'hal

message: (Cross posted from User talk:BrianSmithson):
I know this is a minor point - literally a placement of a letter- but if you check Herbert Asbury's Gangs of New York the spelling of the b'hoy is definitely Syksey. This is also consistent with the Wikipedia entry on the List of Historical Gangs of New York article []. 
I have reverted it back, and at this point I'd say the burden of proof is on you to show your spelling is correct. TheNate
:I based my spelling on several sources. The name is spelled Sykesy in Inside the Minstrel Mask: Readings in Nineteenth-Century Blackface Minstrelsy, Strong on Music: Resonances, 1836–1849, Workers in the Metropolis: Class, Ethnicity, and Youth in Antebellum New York City, and The Cambridge History of American Theatre. The name is spelled Syksey in Tall Tale America: A Legendary History of Our Humorous Heroes and Workers in the Metropolis: Class, Ethnicity, and Youth in Antebellum New York City. Probably both versions should be included. — BrianSmithson 06:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: "Irish" in a context like this usually means "Irish-American". The "hyphenated-American" convention didn't arise until well within my own lifetime.  Americans would say "I'm Irish and Italian" in reference to their familial background, and if they meant an actual immigrant they'd say "Granny was from Ireland", or the like.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  03:25, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradiction?

message: Neither this article nor Bowery B'hoy give any indication of actual pronunciation. It's not clear if this apostrophe is meant to be a glottal stop or what.  Irish would not use one there.  "Like an Irish accent" doesn't tell us anything; there are numerous Irish accents that are very different from each other (e.g. "boy" in some of them comes out approximate to how an Midwestern American would say the words "buy" or "bye", while in others "boy" would not be particularly distinct from an American enunciation.  In some, there's a breathiness to the sound, which may be what is intended here (actors learning a Galway accent are often told to imagine that the enunciation focus isn't in the middle or the front part of the mouth but in front  it).  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  03:25, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Mustafa Amin

message: This individual sounds highly notable from the text, but without any sources, much less reliable secondary sources, it is impossible to make that determination.  Right now, February 2010, this article fails WP:BIO. Without appropriate sources, it is subject to deletion.  The external link to the Akhbar El Yom Newspaper website doesn't appear to provide information about Mostafa Amin.  It is in Arabic and the main page has current news.  I did find one page on that web site that mentions Mostafa Amin as the co-founder of the paper along with Ali Amin, but that was substantially it. The Arabic Wikipedia article on Mostafa Amin is longer than this one, but is equally without sources. I note that the Britannica Book of the Year 1998 has a brief (100 word) obituary about him under "Amin, Mustafa".  The Biographical dictionary of modern Egypt, pages 21-22, has a longer entry on him under "Amin, Mustafa", as well as an entry for his brother Ali. Unfortunately for Google/Yahoo searches, Mustafa/Mostafa Amin is a common name. --Bejnar (talk) 15:39, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  We don't need to include biographical information about someone who isn't the subject of the article (like the date of their death), just because they are related to them.

Template talk:Campaignbox Jewish–Roman wars

message: The naming of Jewish-Roman wars is not descriptive - this is a name to three specific conflicts:
*The Great Revolt
*Kitos War
*Bar Kokhba revolt
Some sources do not count Kitos war as part of Jewish-Roman wars, but as part of Parthian-Roman wars. However, the conflicts certainly do not include Revolt against Gallus (though it was fought against Romans), or Jewish revolt against Hercalius (against Byzantines) - those were separate events.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Famous Kapus

message: Why was this article removed?  This is not a geneology. This an article that lists all famous Kapus.  Ofcourse it will keep on getting updated.  There are alot of Kapus getting popular day by day.  Also it is pretty obvious it refers to Kapu(Caste) in India if you read it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.24.144.204 (talk • contribs) 
:The article was deleted because there was no context. There was nothing in the article that stated what a Kapu is (I had to research to figure out what it meant), and it was a list of people with no criteria for inclusion (see the Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not). "Famous" is also a POV term, and anyone who thinks someone is famous could potentially add them to the list without providing sources to back the claim up. There is no prejudice against re-creating the article as a more organized, NPOV list with details, organization, and context. --Coredesat talk! 08:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Comment

message: I don't feel it was correct to say that the development of Scid continued in Scid-pgn, and that ChessDB was a fork of Scid. They are both sofware forks. Changes to the Scid website details and date of last release have been reversed, as the most recent offical release of Scid was not in 2007 as changed to by Pgeorges, but in 2003. Also 'Pgeorges' decided to add what I believe is his own website above the one for ChessDB, which was there before. I'll make no comment about what is the better fork of Scid, but neither is any more 'offical' than the other. Both are developed independantly of Scid's original author (Shane Hudson). I've left the original Scid webite in its rightful place - at the top. Spiderpop 09:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Bstp, I suggest you should check your facts. Myself, Dr. David Kirkby, who is 'drkirkby' on both here and Sourceforge, NEVER requested to take control of Scid's web site at Sourceforge. It was Pascal Georges who requested to take control of the Scid web site, but it was initally denied to him. He did later get control. I myself set up ChessDB at sourceforge, and Pascal took code I developed, and set up the scid-pg web site. So to say I took control of the Scid web site is just pure nonsense. 213.78.42.15 (talk) 23:50, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
