Talk:Jerry Bailey

message: There's no controversy surrounding the 2004 Belmont. The pace was an honest :48. Smarty Jones took the lead and nearly had it (despite his slow finish) had it not been for Birdstone. Stewart Elliot said as much himself after the race. Bailey and Solis were following the best horse in the field. The article, found at http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2004/jun/14/columnist-ralph-siraco-smarty-jones-fans-cry-foul-/ includes quotes from upset fans, which happens after every single horse race in the world. There is no credence behind any "controversy" besides this one article about some angry fans. I'm removing the section. I question the motive behind including this in Jerry Bailey's biography as well as Smarty Jones'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thoroughgreg (talk • contribs) 17:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Maurice Baring

message: A factual point to ponder:
this article used to claim that "he was a younger son of the third Lord Revelstoke".
A google search shows some sources that agree (though they may have been based on this mistaken WP article).
At any rate, based on the birthdates, "third" must be wrong; it seems much more likely that he was the son of the first Lord Revelstoke
(and other sources found by the same google search confirm this).
For now I'm hedging the question by changing it to "younger son of Lord Revelstoke".
I'm also curious what the difference in the titles "Lord" and "Baron" might be.
(I've linked to the "Baron Revelstoke" article, as it's clearly talking about the same family.)

Talk:Lugal

message: I'm afraid that the first paragraph of this article is seriously confused, mixing up language and writing. (That's always a problem, to be fair.)
The Sumerian expression for "king" (more on that in a moment) was "big man", literally, or LÚ GAL in SUmerian words, though so far as I know it is never written thus except in Sumero-Akkadian dictionaries which is how we know its reading.
The sign transcribed ("read") LUGAL does not consist of either the sign LÚ "man" (strictly speaking) or GAL "big" (at all). ("Great"' might be better, here; it's the same sign as in MAH.GAL "lion", verbatim "big dog", though "big" doesn't seem like the right translation). 
It is, historically, the sign for "man" (transcribed LÚ) plus a diacritic, in effect—namely a crown or diadem. Note that the logogram "man" is lying on its face, the "crown" is the little cluster of wedges at the left end of the sign for "man". (Sumerian writing was originally in vertical columns, arranged left to right; for some reason, the arrangement of signs, ductus and all, came to be rotated 90° counter-clockwise, so that on tablets and epigraphs the signs run from left to right in lines from top to bottom, as in Latin-based European writing.)
That is: the sign that is read LUGAL does not have any connection with the sign that is transcribed LÚ (i.e., LU sub 2) or the one transcribed GAL "big" vel sim.
Note: "King" in something like our sense of the word was LUGAL.GAL, usually Englished "great king": a LUGAL was more like a duke than a king, i.e., the head of state of a "city state". When a number of these states and their dukes were under the authority of some higher figure, he was called LUGAL.GAL (and was probably also the LUGAL of one or more important city-states, much as the King of England is also Duke of Cornwall until that title is transferred to the heir apparent).Alsihler (talk) 00:42, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: There are many mistakes. For example abgallu is explaint by ab "Water", gal "big" and lu "man". But ab does not mean water (okay in modern Farsi but not in Sumerian).  The Sumerian word is abgal for which The Sumerian Dictionary A Part II (Uniersity Museum, Pensylvania 1994) p. 175 gives: "1. a profession 2. a profession, a cultic functionary 3. a mythological sage" etc. the etymology is unknown. From this a Akkadian word stems "apkallu(m)". The Akkadian nominative -um later -u is added (The Chicago Assyrian Dictionary A II p. 171). There is no connection with the Sumerian word lu2 "man". The explanations of the name of the city Eridu(g) are as well mere phantasy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:FC:4703:FA00:995C:590B:12B2:F68B (talk) 22:12, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:List of people who claim to be Jesus Christ

message: Perhaps this would be better as a category instead of as an article? That way, it doesn't have to get edited constantly. --Habap 18:24, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Jesus Christ was not "claiming to be" Jesus Christ - he simply was. It may be debated whether he was the Son of God and so forth, but this is like putting Napoleon on a list of people who claimed to be Napoleon - the whole point of others making the claim is that the initial person really existed as an individual who was not merely claiming to be that individual. -- BD2412 talk 18:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

message: The point of a disambiguation page is not to list every possible definition or use of a particular word in the English language; disambiguation pages are meant to assist a Wikipedia user in finding an existing page whose topic is (or could be) the actual word used in their search query. 
Before adding a topic to this page, ask yourself: 
* If you were looking for this topic on Wikipedia, would you simply and only type "lock" as your search word?
* Are there people who might refer to your topic by only using the word "lock"?  
Please see Wikipedia:Disambiguation and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) for more info.
Having said that, these are the edits I made to this page:
* Removed any red-links or references to topics which do not have articles of their own and lack coverage elsewhere in Wikipedia
* Removed entries in bullet points below Lock (device), Lock (firearm) and Lock of hair, for example: Ignition lock, Snaplock and Goldilocks...
** It is doubtful that a person would simply type "lock" in an attempt to find a page on one of these specific topics
