Talk:Karl Burns

message: It's funny when musicians just go missing like that from the public eye, like Karl Burns as of 2006 and Andy McCulloch, also a drummer.
An interesting example is another drummer, John Mayhew, who appeared on the second Genesis album in 1970 and was only traced quite recently and attended a band convention in 2006.--HisSpaceResearch 14:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ha'il Aziz Ahmad Al Maythal

message: I think default sort is a mistake for individuals with Arabic names.
People with Arabic names don't inherit a surname, like people with an European do.
Traditionally the closest thing they have to a "last name" is their father's first name.
And it is absolutely clear to me that it is a mistake to use default sort for the Guantanamo captives -- because the US Department of Defense can't consistently figure out what their names are. 
Therefore I just reverted an edit where a well-meaning contributor imposed default sort on this individual.
Please don't impose default sort on these guys without discussing it first.

message: *A  tag was added to this article almost a year ago, by a contributor who has, so far, made no effort to explain what triggered their concern.  None of us are mind-readers.  When contributors add tags like this, indicating they have a concern, but fail to explain their concern it leaves the reas of guessing at their concern.  We will ahve no idea if their concern has been addressed by changes we have made.  We will have no idea if they would think the tag can be removed.
The tag does imply that the tag placer will have explained themselves on the talk page.

message: Please change | label4 = Book to | label4 = Book.
Linking infobox parameter names is common practice when it comes to uncommon terms (c.f. Template:Infobox royalty), and most readers are not familiar with musical theater lingo and will find "Book" to be confusing – it sounds like the musical is an adaption of a novel.

Talk:Nicanor

message: I propose to add all articles on all Nikanors listed in Smith's public-domain Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (wiki template ). See below for a full list.
In view of the facts that 
# all of these Nikanors are Hellen(ist)ic by origin, 
# the pronunciation is the same either way, and 
# it's not 1911 any more,
I suggest that all Nikanors have the spelling "Nikanor", rather than using the Latin Nicanor (I always feel Latin is a weird choice of language for spelling Greek names). If anyone insists that names in brackets below be in their Latin spelling, Nikanor should also take a Latin spelling in those cases; there's no need for consistency.
EDIT: My attention has now been drawn to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Greek). I'm extremely discontented about it and regard Latin as irrelevant but there we go. Life goes on, even if people's own names don't. Petrouchka 12:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Hey!

message: In my experience when Afd are closed as merge, they are generally either not merged at all, and the article ends up getting deleted, losing its valuable contribution history, or someone merely cuts and pastes the whole article, or some portion of it, into the target article, without making any real effort to see if doing so makes sense.
I don't think a merge is practical, as there are just too many elements that make Parhat individually notable, and if they were all shoehorned into the article on all the Uyghurs it would overwhelm that article.
I redirected the article to make sure it wasn't deleted, with its contribution history, because no one merged it.  Geo Swan (talk) 19:01, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: explanation

message: I asked Iqinn, back when he first stated this concern, if he was taking the position the sources provided were insufficient what sources he would recognize as sufficient.  He chose not to answer.
This is the official source:
* 
Here are some third party commentaries on the records:
* 
* 
* 
What Iqinn seems to be overlooking is that there is no other party in a position to weigh the captives.  Captives' lawyers have regularly requested their clients be examined by third party medical experts.  And those requests have all been declined.  The only independent visitors the captives receive is from the ICRC.  Cheney and Rumsfeld were furious when the first camp commander allowed the ICRC access.  But the ICRC is allowed access to captives because they have always honored their promise to keep their reports strictly confidential.  Geo Swan (talk) 04:04, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Your first two sentence are absolutely wrong. I have answered you. I told you it does not matter who creates the health records and how they were released. The evaluation of this records is also difficult as only selected information of the total health records have been released. Anyway primary sources should not been used for individuals who are relative unknown. And we need multiply reliable secondary sources as they may be harmful. We can include them after the health of Hussein Salem Mohammed has been discussed there. Iqinn (talk) 00:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Even if Latin spellings are retained, articles still need re-naming: again, a glance at Talk:Nicanor will make it clear why -- "Nicanor of Macedon"/"Macedonia" etc. is just not specific enough for the sheer number of Nicanors that are out there.

Talk:Continual prayer

message: User:70.64.120.184 has noted this on the main page:
This article may have been the original article and was copied to the ihop.org site rather than the other way around. Ihop claims their article was compiled and posted November 7, 2005 and this wiki article was moved over from "24-7 Prayer" only days later (see history). The 24-7 Prayer article was in existance for a long time before November 7th as I remember editing it. Deleting this article should be reconsidered.
The first appearance in Wikipedia of the text I’m accusing of being a copyright violation is on November 11, 2005. That’s as far back as the edit history for this article goes. Before that, this article was known as 24/7 Prayer, which has no edit history aside from stuff related to the move to Continual prayer. There was a related article at 24-7 Prayer Movement, created July 13, 2005. It was eventually merged into Continual prayer, and it never contained any of the supposed copyvio text.
I don’t think Wikipedia was the source of the Ihop.org text. First, IHOP claims a date (November 7, 2005) earlier than the Wikipedia text appeared. Second, the text is not Wikipedia style at all. For instance, headings were numbered and lettered. The section numbering and the phrase “as an outflow of his heart” were removed from the Wikipedia version mere minutes after the article was created, but they are both present in the IHOP page. I find it unlikely that the text of the IHOP page was copied during that short window.
Since it has come to my attention that 24-7 Prayer Movement used to exist as its own article, my suggested alternative to deletion is to revert Continual prayer to the last pre-redirect version of 24-7 Prayer Movement (but keep the “Continual prayer” article title).

thread_title:  explanation 

message: Additional explanation to my edit summary and the related policies. 
"not relevant for his notability" The release of medical records of Guantanamo detainees might be interesting in the broader topic of Guantanamo, as for example some of the detainees claim they have suffered health damages. But this is the biography of Jehan Wali and there are no secondary sources in the article that discuss his personal health to a level where it could become relevant. The inclusion of this material is not relevant to Jehan Wali's notability and can not be included under WP:NPF. 
"insufficient sourced" from WP:NPF  The section is based on a primary source and therefore it can not be included.  
"private information that could be possible harmful" Medical information are very personal information. All countries around the world i know have laws against the publishing of medical records. Publishing of medical information is restricted unless the individual agrees to it. Why? I can easily imagine a lot of situations where this could be harmful to an individual. An insurance company could reject to sell him a policy or potential employer could reject to give him a job...
Only one of these three reasons would justify an removal. This is not even a border-line case here. The material needs to be removed as soon as possible in accordance with our policies. Iqinn (talk) 08:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
