Talk:Aleksandra Sokolovskaya

message: Maybe we should follow http://www.whoiswho.ru/russian/Curnom/22004/el.htm and http://www.pseudology.org/people/Genealogy1.htm and state her years of life as 1872-1935? instead of 1872-?   ? It would make some sense and would not make the bots crazy? abakharev 20:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the reason that "1935?" has been a common date for decades is that Trotsky lost contact with Sokolovskaya in 1935 right after her arrest. However, Nadezhda Joffe, who knew both Trotsky and Sokolovskaya well, later reported that she last saw Sokolovskaya in 1938 when they were briefly held in the same labor camp in the famous Kolyma region. Perhaps we could change the date to "1938?"? Ahasuerus 03:12, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Record labels by genre

message: This isn't a terribly helpful way of categorising labels, as even some of the smallest are cross genre. Major or independent would be a better top level, then perhaps country or 'main genre' as lower levels?
In the meantime, I'll place :Category:Independent record labels here, it's not a genre but it fills a gaping hole in this category.
I've done a little by moving some odd sub categories from Record labels, but this really needs a combined effort. --kingboyk 20:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

How did that term come about ?
I thought perhaps it was a reference to an old English standard "to come calling".  As a suitor "will come calling" to the home of his desire.  So too, someone "will come calling for their tickets" or "Will Call".  Shakespeare, theatre and the English...I thought it made sense.  Can anyone confirm? Ardisg13 18:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Shipley railway station

message: I'm now very confused. I put in the line about the original location having been 500m south of the current position on the basis of the 1847 OS map referenced, which clearly shows it on Valley Road.
But last week I found an article in the Bradford Observer from February 1849, which clearly describes it in its current location - it refers to the triangle. It doesn't say specifically that this is or isn't the original station, but the context is the architecture of the stations on the line generally, so I would have expected it to mention if the station had been repaced. 
Oh dear, this is sounding like original research ... ColinFine 20:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Manuscript 

message: The Sipasian sect is not only the first one, but also the one described in details. It seems it was not a sect but was a tradition. Azar Kayván is given as a descendant of Mah Abád, and the chief of the sect. Mahabad was the founder of civilization. I suspect "Patna" may be originally Patan in Gujarat which may have become Patna because of copyists error. One of their beliefs seems to be a distinction between the body and soul. "Truly the body is a narrow sepulchre which entombs every spirit". The author met many prominent individuals of the sect. Some Hindus, Muslims and Christian joined the mystical sect. They seem to have advocated austerities, and discouraged eating of flesh. Killing of animals was prohibited, with the exception of  animals that are violent. There is reference to temples for the seven planets (Venus to moon) with the planet represented by an idol, and a fire-temple in the front. The author claims that many of famous monuments were originally such temples, and that the black stone originally represented Saturn. There were fire temples in India.

Talk:Matthew 7:1

message: Encylopedic writing should not reflect the values, opinions or doctrines of a writer. 
"...begins an important discussion about how the true Christian should related (sic) to their fellows." This presumes the speaker Matthew quoted was speaking to a church not formed until many years after his death. He was, as told in the verse cited, speaking to Jews and to others residing in occupied Isreal at that time. The strong point of view of the editor is further evident in the reference to "true Christians." uh --- please don't judge the validity of people's faith when writing Wikipedia articles? The implicit notion of deity and foreknowledge is opinion and doctrine, not neutral encycopledic writing. The personal opinion that the verse is "important" is nothing more than personal opinion. 
"It is fairly clear that this final judge mentioned in this verse is God." It is not even a little clear that a final judge is mentioned in the verse. It is a simple cause and effect statement with no implication of agency. Any further insinuation should be attributed to the scholar who advances the idea. Encyclopedias are not the place to represent doctrine as fact.
"As Morris states it is..." This represents "Morris'" view as fact, and hence reveals the point of view of the writer, who is sympathetic to Morris' point of view.
When naming scholars, please refer to their full name, in fairness to readers and to facilitate efficient fact checking by others. Many voices 21:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

:One → "The sword is one of the strongest weapons one can get in the game"
:(something) → "The sword is one of the strongest weapons that can be procured in the game"

:→ "One cannot reach the island without a gold chocobo"

replies: text: Ah, here it is. Well, the grammarian in me bristles at such blatant overuse of passive voice, and I strongly suggest we not write such poor practice into our style guide. Not only does it weaken the effectiveness of the prose, but it serves to mask things like weasel words. Additionally, I've seen almost as many WP:FACs shot down as a result of poor grammar style stemming from passive voice as from fancruft. "One" also presents problems: we shouldn't be throwing pronouns around haphazardly. There's also the option of referring to the character him/herself ("the sword is one of the strongest weapons Cloud can get in the game"), but I worry that it introduces some slippage between fiction and reference. "The player" still stands as the best solution, IMO. – Seancdaug 22:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
