Talk:Simko Shikak

message: Simko, the beloved hero of the Kurds in 20th century.
Simko was a great, brave patriotic Kurd who fought courageously the brutal, blood thirsty, anti Kurd Imperial system of Pahlavi Dynasty. There are hundreds of honest, notable and prominent Kurdish historians whom are appalled, astonished and disgusted by the ignorance, hatred and animosity of racist Persians and Turks of their irresponsible claim that Simko, the beloved Kurdish hero had  committed massacres against Christians or any other religious minorities! Simko and his men were only fighting the occupiers of Kurdistan, which is the provinces of Sanandaj, Iilam, West Azerbaijan and Kermanshah in their entirety. Simko was assassinated by the coward criminals of the Pahlavi army who had promised him to sit with him and discuss the greater autonomy for the Kurds.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.161.189.62 (talk) 23:17, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Since when are criminals hailed as heroes in Kurdish culture? What kind of a hero assassinates a peaceful religious figure under a white truce flag then goes and kills innocent civilians for being Christian? Doesn't sound like much of a hero to me... 108.200.85.182 (talk) 18:34, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: "In May 1915, he ordered the killing of the family of his cousin and rival, Nimrod Shimun, leader of the Jilu tribe, precluding cooperation during the Ottoman assault in the following months." Sure, a peaceful religious figure. And all assyrians were so peaceful, right? Factually, the Assyrians were amongst the most hostile (towards others) and brutal people throughout history. How they skinned, burned and killed non-Assyrians in past times during their reign, etc. 77.3.41.198 (talk) 10:42, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Untitled 

message: Fixed some corrupt information, probably a "Proud-Persian"'s work. Simko's warriors did NOT outnumber the Persian Army. I changed the Persian soldiers from 8.000 to 100.000, the correct number is probably larger but I will leave this to someone else to fix. Simko's warriors could have been around 8.000, this should also be corrected, they were proabably fewer. And like most people who have read about Simko know, he inflicted a great damage on the Iranians, which means that he massacred (literally massacred, he wanted a cruel revenge) Iranian soldiers until he himself was caputred/killed.
The Iranian casualties were much more greater than the Kurdish casualties, if we count military losses only, which clearly is the only shown in the table. Civilian Kurds were killed, but since the table only shows the loss of Simkos's warriors and Shah Reza'z soldiers it should be noted in someother place.

message: This edit was rolled back as the New World Porcupines are not related closely to the OW Porcupines. So, the mere lack of "..quills to protect themselves" is not really the distinguishing character between the two. Hence reverting again. prashanthns (talk) 09:43, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: However, it is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future as defined by any of the criteria A to D (Appendix ΙΙΙ).

Other than that, through wildlife and biodiversity awareness and education campaigns and activities is part of the conservation action we can apply to save the species.
This section seems to disagree with the Vulnerable species classification of IUCN. Such a disagreement (if not backed with sources cannot be in the article, as it would become an opinion.

Talk:Pyla

message: The demographic part on Cyprus’ page states that there are two villages with mixed greek/turk, Pyla and Rizokarpaso.
Yet, on Pyla’s page it’s said 
" The village is special in the respect that it is the only settlement in Cyprus still inhabited by both its original Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriotinhabitants."
So, is this text wrong, or is the Cyprus’ page wrong? Because one says there is only one and the other says there are two. 74.14.182.92 (talk) 04:59, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Shakespeare Rhyme 

message: I recall, imperfectly, a rather simple poem that used eye rhymes to present a word in two different pronunciations.
It’s a Sherlockian jest, based upon the fact that Inspector G. Lestrade is a supporting character in the Sherlock Holmes canon. The pronunciation of his name is handled differently by two popular portrayers of the Great Detective in radio.
It goes something like:
Basil Rathbone speaks like God
As he pronounces it “Lestrade.”
But Sir John Gielgud won’t be swayed
As he pronounces it “Lestrade.”
I’m rather sure that I read it in an issue of The Baker Street Journal, but couldn’t find it in my collection. If anyone can do so, it might be an interesting addition to the article. WHPratt (talk) 04:26, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Ekeren

message: A few years ago, the local history society of Ekeren did an exhibition about the Battle of Ekeren. Contrary to what is said in this article, they said that after the battle, the victory wasn't very clear at all.
It also appears as if this article was written after only one source; it could probably use some extra sources.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.144.77.46 (talk) 11:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The problems I have with the changes:
1. Wijn explicitely mentions that the casualty number he mentions is the lowest possible. I don't know why 'at least' gets deleated.
2. We can add the amount of guns and standards captured if we like, but don't do it selectively. The Dutch also captured a gun and more standards then the French did. The guns captured by the French is also not as high as 48. It only comes close to that when you include Hand mortars, something which is never mentioned in any infobox. The French captured 4 artillery pieces/cannons.
3. Lastly, for the numbers of soldiers present I would like to use the figures which are currently in the infobox. The historians who have published the most detailed works on this battle mention that the Dutch had around 12,000 man and the French around 24,000. But, most importantly, Bodart's numbers are very rare and I have found more sources supporting the 40,000 French soldiers and 10,000 Dutch soldiers narrative. I do not want to include both of these extremes. DavidDijkgraaf (talk) 16:17, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

The genre of British music referred to as mod nowadays is a broad church encompassing music from the Beat and  Psychedelic periods of the 60s, and was only labelled as such in the 90s and 2000s.

"Jenny Take A Ride", "Devil With a Blue Dress On & Good Golly Miss Molly", "Sock It to Me-Baby!", "Little Latin Lupe Lu", & "Break-out". are some of the more well known of them.
Later Mitch and former wheel Johnny Bee formed the band "Detroit" and had another hit with "Rock & Roll"

He makes use of the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of some substances in order to make other substances subservient to his aims. . . ."
This appeears identical to Means of labor as defined in our Wikipedia article.
