replies: text: There are several people named Abdul Wali . unless you have a better description to distinguish him from the others, its OK as a title. (id like to see his middle name maybe..). As for the question of torture, there is nothing POV about torture, its pretty clear cut definition that most ordinary people understand instinctively from a young age. There are also legal definitions and by any of those he was tortured. It's also why he is in the news. So there is nothing POV about it. Decora (talk) 22:20, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Edit war

message: As a Sydney resident at the time, I can confirm that the killer was indeed locally known to media and citizens as "the Mutilator". However, it would only be reasonable to accept that in Brisbane, Melbourne and other Australian cities, he had to be called "the Sydney Mutilator" (and even more so for international Wikipedia purposes). I'm suggesting we adopt a compromise which suits all points of view, viz., "the (Sydney) Mutilator" --as has already been accepted in the lede. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 03:34, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

And was Hurst first regarded as an accidental death - seems unlikely (though I suppose Hurst's newspaper obituary notice would not say he had been murdered!).

message: I have reverted an edit by IP:94.219.218.209 claiming that Wardaks can be non-Pashtun as well. Wardak/Wardag is a Pashtun tribe mainly found in Maidan Wardag Province. Maidani and Wardak are 2 Pashtun tribes and make up majority of the population. There are Hazaras in Wardak province as well, but they never use Wardak. Even if they use the name of the province it will be something like "Wardaki" like Kabuli, Logari, Laghmani, Kandahari, Jalalbadi, Ghaznichi, Mazari, Herati.

Talk:Mirza Mohammed

message: Another wikipedian came to the conclusion that a disambiguation page was needed, because there are mulitiple individuals with this name.  I have no problem with that.
But they decided they would cut and paste the contents of this article, and change this article into the disambiguation page.  That is simply the wrong way to do disambiguation, because it means the place where this content is stored, which has a meaningful contribution history, will be in an article divorced from that contribution history.
The proper way to do this would have have been 
#move the page with the history to a new name with disambiguation info in it.
#That leave the old name, with no disambigifiers in its name as a redirect.  So, edit that redirect, and turn it into a disambiguation page.
I will clean up the rest of this mistaken effort, so there is a disambiguation page.

Who that was actually in Gladstone's cabinet was actually concerned about this? Looking at the very brief description in Jenkins's biography of Gladstone, it sounds like what was actually done was to warmonger the incident a bit in order to distract attention away from calls for revenging Gordon in the Sudan, followed by a compromise solution. john k (talk) 13:39, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Final paragraph 

message: The naval historian Andrew Lambert argues in a podcast that one of the reasons Russia backed off was the threat of the Royal Navy - which maintained shallow-bottomed battery ships for exactly such a purpose - getting ready to shell St Petersburg (I dare say Britain could also have choked off Russia's foreign trade in the event of war). Supposedly one of the main reasons Russia sued for peace in the so-called Russian War of the 1850s (the name "Crimean War" dates from the turn of the century - and it comes as a surprise to a lot of people that it was very much an Allied victory) was that Britain had taken out the Baltic forts and was getting ready to threaten St Petersburg. He also argues that Admiral Fisher's Baltic Project in WW1 could have worked and was very much in this tradition of maritime warfare. He does have a bit of a bee in his bonnet on the topic but that doesn't necessarily mean that he is wrong.
I'd have to buy, read and go trawling through his books for a specific reference so I "leave this one out there" for the time being - it would be interesting to learn what detailed accounts of decision-making in St Petersburg say on the matter. Paulturtle (talk) 17:49, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Darvaz (region)

message: I reverted the last move from Darvaz to Dārvaz because Darvaz is the most commonly used Englis language transliteration for this region (See Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(use_English)). In fact, when Dārvaz is entered into a google search, more than 35,000 hits appear but nearly all (99.99%) are of the spelling Darvaz. Scrolling through the first 100 results on google, I could only find pages that refer to this wikipedia page that used Dārvaz. In addition, the use of ā in the transliteration of Persian to English does not appear anywhere on the Romanization_of_Persian page here at Wikipedia. Besides linguistic reasoning, the original move did not employ the Wikipedia protocol of first posting a move template (Template:Move) and then posting a move request (Wikipedia:Requested_moves).
