message: Truce redirects here. Is truce the very same thing as a ceasefire? Should this article be moved to truce? If a category is created, should it be named :Category:Truces of :Category:Ceasefires? Do note that cease fire implies a modern era terminology (firearms...), and there were many truces before that (ex. Truce of Jam Zapolski, etc.). Also: should this category be a subcategory of :Category:Peace treaties, of :Category:Treaties on an equal level with peace treaty? PS. There is also a merge tag for this article and armistice.

thread_title:  Korean War 

message: Recently (Feb & Mar) the nK official news agency has been saber rattling.  This is not untypical. Many such stories surface again and again over years and years and years. However some editors want to add this recent info to the article. Couple of problems: 1. Foremost, WP is WP:NOT#NEWS. 2. The news stories purport to pertain to a ceasefire, whereas the issue in the Korean War is the existence and enforcement of the Armistice. The news stories we see should be looked at with an encyclopedic eye, and this article should not be used for POV edits opining on the events.  – S. Rich (talk) 20:11, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Almagest

message: I'm not proficient enough to know if we could add a See Also item to link to a sub-heading in a Wikipedia article. In Giovanni Battista Riccioli there's a subhead, Almagestum Novum, which begins, "Riccioli's most significant works was his 1651 Almagestum Novum (New Almagest),[7] an encyclopedic work consisting of over 1500 folio pages (38 cm x 25 cm) densely packed with text, tables, and illustrations. It became a standard technical reference book for astronomers all over Europe..." Seems like that would be a value-added See Also! Thoughts? Bob Enyart, Denver KGOV radio host  (talk) 02:49, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible See Also item: New Almagest 

message: Please add that for centuries, quite a few astronomers have accused Ptolemy for fabricating observations to support his theory when he wrote the Almagest. The largest attack comes from Robert R. Newton, 1977, The Crime of Claudius Ptolemy. 
Most other researchers have had problems accepting the idea that Ptolemy cheated. A discussion of Newton's accusations can be found in Gerd Grasshoff, 1990, The History of Ptolemy's Star Catalogue, pages 79-91. Most researchers prefer to believe that Ptolemy suffered from some form of systematic error, too small for him to discover himself. But there are also astronomers who more recently have added to the accusations, like Dennis Rawlins.

replies: text: I did he Esperanto article (translated from English), and puzzled over plongeur.  Not knowing French, I did a little Google-ing and noticed that Plongeur is also the name of a submarine, which I think hints the dishwasher interpretation.  However, I read the book a dozen years ago and if memory serves, Orwell as a plongeur had to do everything that was too menial for anybody else.  So, after noticing your question and the answer above, I changed the Esperanto to dishwasher and kitchen flunky.  (I hadn't been able to think of the word flunky before:-)  I expect I may reread the novel again in a few months.  But if someone else has read it recently, perhaps that person would be so kind as to confirm or modify that interpretation.  O'RyanW (☺  ₪) 01:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

:Madonna's solo debut was in 1982, her music career didn't start until her early 20s. Neither was she a teenager nor her music primarily targeted at teenagers. At best she's tangentially related to TEEN pop as an influence on the later waves. Which isn't anything special since she arguably had an influence - one way or another - on everything coming after her. She is mentioned under "Pop" same as Tolkien is under "Fantasy" and not every sub genre. --2001:4DD6:62E1:0:559E:8F82:6665:7063 (talk) 20:30, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

message: I have noticed there is a lack of detail regarding the features of the genre. Do you think we should add a Characteristics and Background subheading where we could develop it further? Other pages discussing pop genres have a similar section, such as  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_pop.
Also, there are some sentences that could be tweaked in the “21st century” section. 
There is a photo of Robin Packalen included, but he is not mentioned at all in the article. Could I switch the photo to an artist who is more relevant? On that thought, could we add more modern artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, or One Direction?
Lastly, I would like to add a few additional academic references, would that be okay?

Study is for uloom (pl. knowledge). Sufism is spiritual engagement with the Sheikh in order to attain spiritual elevation and following true Sunnah. There are no studies or curriculum. After taking bay'ah (oath/pledge of allegiance) one just needs to remain in Sheikh's suhbah (supervision) for as long as possible. In english language, it may be loosely termed as supervision, training, coaching, guidance etc., unless someone else has a better suggestion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.107.138.229 (talk) 10:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

iFaqeer, I don't boast of definitive knowledge about Bulla Shah. I only started this page for someone to expand.

Later he changed his name to Bulla Shah. He is affectionately referred by many as Bulleh Shah.
