Talk:I'billin

message: Greek Christians, split into Greek orthodox and Melkite?! Melkite in Isr/Pal nowadays means Catholic Melkite, so Orthodox "united", i.e. in communion with Rome, and they are not Greek, except in those parts of their rituals which they've preserved from before recognising the Pope and entering into communion. Ig that was Greek enough for Guérin, then the link should be specifically to Melkite Catholic Church, not the very vague Melkite.
I found "Greek Christians" linked to Antiochian Greek Christians. That's beyond weird. Since the Byzantine period, the vast majority of Orthodox Christians in Palestine are part of the Jerusalem (Greek Orthodox) Patriarchate. Unless Ibillin had/has a community of immigrants from further up north in the Levant who stuck to their Syrian roots and only recognise the Patriarch of Antioch as their Church head, this makes no sense.
I'll leave Guérin's "Greek Christians" w/o link, as in Palestine there seems to be no common term for autocephalous Greek Orthodox and Pope-abiding Melkite denominations, and will link to Melkite Catholic Church for Guérin's (Greek) "Melkites". Pls correct if I'm wrong, especially if there's any umbrella term for the Greek Orthodox and the Melkite Catholic (aka Melkite Byzantine Catholic, still). I'm getting dizzy here... Thanks, Arminden (talk) 17:16, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Tori Anthony

message: Really? This never-heard-of is notable enough to have her own article, but Allison Stokke is not? WTF? 82.141.127.50 (talk) 00:27, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Complain away, though I think you are wasting your time.  If you had chosen to read the article, which admittedly is poorly written by another editor, you would have seen she attended Castilleja School which is across the street from Stanford University, the scene of your favorite Allison's PR.  Both of them graduated the same year in the same state, so they competed head to head in high school and guess what, Tori won the CIF California State Meet two years in a row, Allison was tied for second one of those years and fourth the other.  She was there WATCHING as Tori set the NFHS record in Sacramento.  So from a very specific Wikipedia sense, Tori has the record--the qualifier for notability--Allison does not.  Now, if you think that Allison has done something to achieve notability, go ahead and write the article.  I'll guarantee I won't be asking for it to be deleted.  But there will be several wikigeeks who know absolutely nothing about Pole Vault, who will try to tear down the merits of your article, so you better write a well documented, strong case for it.  In the broader sense, wikipedia articles don't magically appear, somebody just like you, who knows about the subject has to take the time to research and write the article.  They need to be so motivated as to spend that effort.  If you don't think we did a good enough job, you can write an article or edit any article.  I hadn't taken the time to improve this particular article because, well, it already exists and there are other things that better need my attention.  Frankly, other things need more attention that writing this. Trackinfo (talk) 05:35, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I have removed most of the rubbish under the invention section and locked the article to prevent it being reinserted.  Unregistered or new editors who wish to edit the article can ask me at User talk:Spinningspark to remove the protection.
I have left the assertion that Jerome L. Murray is usually credited with its invention since his NYT obituary says he did.  However, I am becoming deeply suspicious of this as well.  There is precious little turning up on him in searches and what little there is traces back to the NYT obit.  In particular, I cannot locate any of his alleged 75 patents.  This is very odd for someone who is supposed to have invented such notable things as the aircraft passenger ramp and the peristaltic heart pump. SpinningSpark 18:58, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I wrote the Englos article myself instead of translating the French stub.  In my opinion, the English article is more comprehensive and a better article.  My goal is to similarly improve the Lambersart article from a translation to a article.VK35 17:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lamont, Alberta

message: Being born in one municipality (Town of Lamont), but being raised in another (Lamont County), does not warrant Ed Stelmach being a notable resident of the Town of Lamont. I don't believe he can be considered a notable resident of the Town of Lamont unless he actually lived there. I was born in one municipality but raised in another because the latter didn't have a hospital at that time. That didn't make me a resident of the former for the first 48 hours of my life.
Same goes for Ed Stelmach's relationship with the Village of Andrew. Did he actually live in that village, or did he simply live in Lamont County and go to secondary school in the village? Unless he actually lived in the Village of Andrew, I wouldn't consider him a notable resident of the Village of Andrew either. No question that he is a notable resident of Lamont County, the municipality in which he was actually raised.
Unless there is a solid reference that confirms Ed Stelmach actually lived in Lamont or Andrew, then he shouldn't be considered a notable resident of either in my opinion.
However, if the intent of the section is to simply present notable people born in Lamont, as the lead in the section suggests, then consideration should be made to changing the title of the section from "Notable residents" to "Notable people". Under this scenario, it may be justifiable to then include Ed Stelmach. If the section title is not changed, this then begs the question... did either Gene Achtymichuk or Brian O'Kurley actually live in Lamont, or were they simply born there like Ed Stelmach? Hwy43 (talk) 02:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ed Stelmach was born in the Town of Lamont. He was raised on a Farm outside of the town of Andrew in the County of Lamont.

Talk:Legal, Alberta

message: I've been a resident of the Town of Legal for most of my life, and never once have heard mention of Kyle Chipchura, though he's been mentioned on the Wikipedia entry for Legal for quite a while.  Looking into Chipchura's main Wikipedia entry, it appears as though he's never even lived in Legal, but merely played some hockey games here.  I could mention several (arguably more famous) people who have come to Legal for activities but haven't lived here either.  I'm considering adding more relevant information on the Town of Legal, and am wondering if there is a consensus on whether Kyle Chipchura should be removed, since he doesn't appear to be overly relevant to the Town.

Talk:Magrath, Alberta

message: Several times over the past year, edits have been made to Magrath's religious affiliation breakdown within the Demographics section. This breakdown is sourced to the 2001 federal census.The source indicates that 84% of the town's population indicated affiliation to a Protestant religion. The source does not indicate 84% affiliation to the Latter-day Saints. Therefore, the repeated edits to change Protestant to either Latter-day Saints/LDS or Mormon have been incorrect and have been continually reverted.According to Statistics Canada, the religious affiliation grouping of Protestant includes Latter-day Saints (Mormons) as well as 43 other denominations. This confirms that it is incorrect to assume that all Protestants in Magrath are solely LDS, and not from any of the other 43 demoniations.It is understood that LDS is likely the most common Protestant religious denomination in Magrath. This likelihood is evident through the town's history and the referenced statement in the article about LDS churches. As such, I recognize that these edits have likely been made in good faith. This is simply an attempt to "clear the air" that these good faith edits are accidentally over-estimating the size of Magrath's LDS population. Hwy43 (talk) 04:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Though perhaps true it tells us nothing about climate change initself. Anyone care to expand - or delete?  
Also, at the foot of 'National Conservation Goals' is this: In a recent study conducted by Global CLEAN campaign, it was found that the average temperature in Pakistan had risen by .2 degrees in only 2 years, This is a dramatic change and puts emphasis on Climate Change Campaigns. Seems a bit dodgy to me - the vagaries of weather mean that much more major changes can take place over this sort of period without any reference to climate change, anthropogenic or otherwise, needing to be invoked.
