replies: text: Bismallahi Ar-Rahmanir Raheem is the formula that starts every surat of the Noble QuranAl-Bargit 20:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Bismallahi Ar-Rahmanir Rahim is recited before a verse of the Holy Quran, and thus is used in prayer every day.  For example, if one were going to recite Al-Ikhlas, before beginning recitation one would say it.  It is also said at other times, such as before wudu, etc.  In English, one translation is: "In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful."  Hope this helps.

Talk:Richard Brooks

message: In 1960 he married the British actress Jean Simmons, whom he directed in Elmer Gantry, and they had one daughter. They divorced in 1977.
He became part of Hugh Hefner's family, and part of Hefner's feudal mansion, where he was observed by the satirist Clive James: "Hefner's estate teemed with voluptuous young women and the dining-room where free hamburgers were available 24 hours a day was impressively populated with Hollywood male notables. But it was sadly apparent that most of them were superannuated lechers. The film director Richard Brooks was typical. He hadn't directed a film in decades and one of the reasons was that he had been here, chomping the free hamburgers, while he eyed the women. He was in Hef's hamburger heaven, sizing up the poontang on his way to a final resting place in Hillside Memorial Park."
The above selection, Is from the personal section of Richard Brooks, This characterization, of Him and Hugh M. Hefner's Mansion, are Highly misleading. I know both men, and was a regular during the Time of Richard Brooks. He was a fascinating Man, The truth, about the food, Hefner an open Kitchen, Not 24 hour hamburger service.  I find this part of the biography To be offensive. I would like to know, Where the writer found the information to back up these comments. Especially characterizing Hugh M. Hefner's Mansion, as feudal, and sizing up the poontang.  This was simply not the case. Causelesscause (talk) 16:32, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I knew about the huge language tree chart.
Phrygian is not included on it. I wanted to see how it would be classified, but I checked for a while and it just isn't on there. Which is extremely strange, because "fringe" languages (off the top of my head: Yola, Juhuri, Knaanic) that are rarely discussed about are included in the tree. 
To be honest, Phrygian is really lacking in all of Wikipedia. It only appears on its own pages and is mentioned in a subsection whenever Greek comes up. 
I understand that its classification is a little debated, but it should still be added to the page to the full extant others are. Kit Fisto Bro (talk) 02:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Eleonora Duse

message: If she was buried in Italy, why does she have a headstone at the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn (headstone reads: "Eleonora Duse  1858...1924  FORTUNATE...DESPERATE...TRUSTFUL")  It was because of encountering this headstone that I googled her (who has "fortunate...desperate...trustful" engraved on their tombstone?!).  So, where is her body really?

Talk:Concise Oxford English Dictionary

message: My favorite edition of the COD used to be a dog-eared 5th edition (1964).  I finally had to replace it with a 7th edition (1982), but there honestly doesn't appear to be that much difference between the two (many definitions are worded almost identically), despite the comprehensive changes that Sykes apparently made in the intervening 6th ed. (1976).
At any rate, editions of the COD after 1982 are completely different and lack all of the character and flavor of the old editions.  (For example, look at the complicated definition of "catholic" in the 5th or 7th edition.) -山道子 (Sewing) - talk 16:08, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
