Talk:Al-Muqawqis

message: It is says at the beginning that his name means "the caucasian". That's not true. "The caucasian" would be "القوقازي" which is completely different. I am unable to verify the sources and it doesn't seem clear which source says that it means "the caucasian". 102.41.144.190 (talk) 17:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name "the Caucasian" 

message: I evaluated the sources referenced in the section relating to the conquest of Alexandria as this seemed very interesting. The paragraph I refer to starts with: "When the general of the Arab conquest of Egypt...November 641 before dying in 642." 
What I found was that most of the content here is pure conjecture and does not exist at all in the cited source.
Here is the verbatim text cited for this content:
CYRUS (d. 642 AD). Byzantine official. Bishop of Phasis in the Caucasus until 631, when he was named by Emperor Heraclius as prefect of Egypt and patriarch of Alexandria in opposition to the Coptic Church and its patriarch, Benjamin. He was entrusted with putting an end to dissension by enforcing orthodoxy in Egypt, and he attempted to carry out this policy with ruthless persecution of the Copts, though he was unsuccessful. Cyrus faced the Arabic invasion in 641 and was forced to agree by a treaty on 8 November 641 to surrender Alexandria and Egypt to the invaders and withdraw imperial forces the following year. He died in Alexandria on 21 March 642 before the end of Byzantine rule in the city. See also ATHANASIUS;
BYZANTINE PERIOD; CYRIL; DIOSCORUS; THEOPHILUS.''
It is mentioned by Ogress that "Cyrus...was entrusted with the conduct of the war.". 
We can clearly see the source actually mentions he was entrusted with: "putting an end to dissension by enforcing orthodoxy in Egypt, and he attempted to carry out this policy with ruthless persecution of the Copts".
The line around Heraclius being angered has absolutely no basis I could find in the source either. These all seem to be extrapolations without factual basis.
Additionally the source is "Historical Dictionary of Ancient Egypt" and the specific citation is just a definition for Cyrus. This seems to be a very weak source, and the source itself is a book on Ancient Egypt.
The section for "Opposition to identification with Cyrus of Alexandria" as well seems to be entirely filled with similar issues. The source https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/egypt-iv does not mention any of this extrapolation added here about the Arab Conquest. In fact the source does not have a single mention of anything related whatsoever to this.
This section even existing does not seem to have a basis. 
When it is mentioned that "The widely held view of identifying al-Muqawqis with Cyrus has been challenged by some as being based on untenable assumptions"; who has challenged this exactly? Is this a personal opinion? The source does not mention anything about this. 
I will be removing the offending content. Please respond back here if you would like to discuss further. Hman101 (talk) 08:49, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Ross McManus

message: Looking at Google Books, "Complicated Shadows" does indeed list his birth name as "McManus".  But it doesn't allude to any change in spelling, so it's not clear that this isn't just a typo. (You get 600 hits in Google Books for "Declan McManus", his son, but that seems to be incorrect.)  Anyone have any sense whether his birth name really was McManus, or whether it was MacManus?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tahnan (talk • contribs) 17:50, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Pharmaceutical sales representative

message: The term Detail Man/Detail Rep originated around 1945.  The pharmaceutical industry came up with a new name for their sales reps and called them "detail men" and later "detail rep" when women entered the sales force in the early 1970's.  The reason why they came up with the new name "detail man" was so that they could get additional gas rationing during World War II.  During the war there was a gas shortage and each job category received a certain amount of gas ration coupons.  The pharmaceutical industry wanted their reps to get additional gas rationing so they came up with the new name and told the government how important it was for the detail men to inform the doctors about new drugs and new indication.  So that is the origin of the term detail man/detail rep.  It has nothing to do with knowing details about the doctors birthday or kids names.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by EspressoForYou (talk • contribs) 03:14, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

message: The section headed "The Joe Loss Orchestra" is slightly misleading insofar as it suggests that March of the Mods and The Stripper were 1940's hits for the band.

replies: text: I was surprised to read this myself. I think you’re right, and the confusion has arisen because Joe was awarded the LVO (Lieutenant Victorian Order) in 1984. There is a knight grade for this honour, which would be GCVO or KCVO.

That may be why the “Sir” was added, but I don’t think it should be here, so I will remove it. Nice to see you here, by the way! TrottieTrue (talk) 01:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Jamal Badawi

message: I find this section, as currently written, extremely problematic. It is a violation of WP:BLP.
We first have this sentence: "In 1992, Badawi’s name was listed in a Muslim Brotherhood directory.  He has publicly declared his support for "combative jihad" and has referred to members of Hamas as “marytrs.”." Not a single one of these citations is a high-quality source. Instead, the references are to partisan and agenda-driven organizations with no reputation for accuracy or fact-checking, with one of the citations being a primary source and the second citation being just to the homepage of one of these partisan organizations.
We then have: "In a 2004 interview, Dr. Badawi stated, 'I have read many books, but Hasan Al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, has been the most inspirational.'" Essentially, a quote from a lengthy interview to buttress an argument that this article has not yet presented from a reliable secondary source. WP:NOR comes to mind. 2601:243:903:3F5B:254F:CE78:74E5:1209 (talk) 15:48, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:José Miguel Carrera

message: To be be perfectly honest, theres just too many factual innaccuracies in the page, i will name all of them 1 by 1. I am a chilean citizen and student of all things related with Jose Miguel Carrera.
changes:
*1-"excuted by command of Jose de San Martin": False, not necesarelly false but very misleading. San Martin, at the time Carrera was executed was in high Peru with O'Higgins. Carrera and San Martin never got along properly, thats true, but he even gaved a late pardon to his brothers (wich were still executed) AND offered Carrera an oportunity to serve the goverment as a castaway. Carrera, properly sayd, was executed by the Lautaro Lodge (to wich San Martin belonged to), and his biggest feud was not with San Martin, but with Pueyrredon and O'Higgins.
*2-"colegio carolino" is actually called "convictorio carolino"
*3-"joined the Lautaro Lodge": false, he joined the Cádiz order, wich was a proto-Lautaro Lodge. Carrera left for America before Miranda could stablish the Lautaro Lodge properly.
*4-fixes here and there, particulary on the Disaster of Rancagua.
*5-Carlos Maria Alvear, not Cesar Alvear
*6-Poinsett did not helped him until the last hour, the biggest help was from David Porter.
*7-San Martins' army was made mostly of slaves and argentinians, almost no chilean fought in the army that defeated the spaniards (as they were tricked into going to Alto Peru), also, O'Higgins did not organized the army with San Martin, it was mainly just him.
*8-Its too simplistic, Carreras most brilliant hour came at almost the end of his time, hes a romantic figure and yet here is overly simplisctic about it.
Portions of this article sound very anti Carrera, particularly the bits about so called atrocities carried out on Argentine soil (May 25, 2011).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.97.125 (talk) 20:02, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

1. Great chart on your topic page! It's very in-depth and provides very quick information.
2. Amazing history. That too is also in depth. You use your sources really well!
Also, to think about:
1. Some of your information in your lead would be better suited for the main article. The lead gives basic information (similar to your chart).
2. You could expand a couple of your headings. For example, in your "history" section, you have a title about "Ranch beginnings". but only one sentence. If you could expand that, it would be great.
Your grammar is pretty consistent and neutral, but there are a couple of places where your adverbs are not-as-neutral. I'll go through and make a couple of changes.

And when others come to edit it, they will likely make sure the Patty Hearst stuff is in there. In terms of sources, I'd like to see you use some material from newspapers, etc. -- try Google news and Lexis-Nexis and you'll come up with some historical material that may be relevant.

People need to stop writing articles like they are doctoral dissertations. Trying to sound smart is not the same thing as providing information.

message: "From the opening nod to the director John Ford ("The screen door slams" evokes The Searchers) to the romanticized look at American blue collar life ("You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright") the song transcends Springsteen's earlier works like "4th of July, Asbury Park, Sandy" on his previous album which seems in retrospect to be a sprawling, rough draft for this more concise song. It is widely interpreted that at the end Springsteen's character is looking for the good life ("pulling out of here to win") in a materialistic sense, but it is more likely he is searching for it in a broader spiritual sense. The song is also an ode to the open road and rock'n'roll in general, both strong themes in American rock, country and folk music; each genre being represented to some extent in this song."
