Talk:Isabelle Gatti de Gamond

message: I have to question this claim... given the existence of female Freemasons in both France and the Netherlands since the mid 1700s, I find it very unlikely that she was the first in Belgium. Blueboar (talk) 13:48, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is wrong (mea maxissima culpa) because the source says (my translation): 'First Belgian woman to be initiated into Freemasonry, in a French lodge, the Diderot Lodge, at the beginning of the 1890s, she appeared to be about to be received [elle semble avoir été sur le point d'être acuillie] into the :fr:Les Amis philanthropes in 1905.' (Gubin et al, DDFB, p. 270) So her death did not prevent her becoming the first female Freemason as I mistakenly wrote - she was that already - what it prevented was her membership of an "ancient" Belgian lodge. You may well wish to dispute the fact, but the source's claim seems clear on the face of it. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 02:05, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: OK... let me see if I can sort this out... 1) She was not the first woman to become a Freemason in all of Belgium...  but 2) She might have become the first woman to join some specific lodge (but her death prevented this).  Do I have these facts correct?   Question, had she joined some other lodge before she died?  Was she a Freemason? Blueboar (talk) 04:18, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I'm afraid you don't have that correct. Like I said the source reads "First Belgian woman to be initiated into Freemasonry ... at the beginning of the 1890s". Can you find a reliable source for a Belgian female Freemason before 1890? Angus McLellan  (Talk) 21:22, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I suppose it depends on how you define "Belgian".  Our article on History of Freemasonry in Belgium lists five Lodges of Adoption (ie lodges that admitted women) that existed in the area that today is called Belgium in the 1780s... presumably they all had female members.

Talk:Itamar Ben-Avi

message: I remember reading in his book about his childhood, and if I remember correctly, another of his troubling youth experience was when some orthodox Jews heard Itamar speaking Hebrew. Considering this act blasphemous, they through rocks at him and his dog, killing Maher, leaving Itamar unscathed physically, but psychologically shaken. If anyone has any sources confirming this, could they be so kind as to add it to the article? Thanks! Canned Soul (talk) 05:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Talk:Patriarch Iustin of Romania

message: it's really strange there isn't such a section. I remember that Biruitorul once said that 80-90% of the priests collaborated with the Securitate.  And this wasn't just a priest, was the patriarch (he was received by Ceausescu at the state council in 1977, was a member of the Great National Assembly and, according to some guys in the American Senate, he was "an older KGB agent", who "limited the number of students of Theological Institute to 10 per year", "demolished Biserica Enei and St. George church in Bucharest and a lot of others churches in country side" and "invited at his patriarchale residence in Bucharest distinguished nouns, priest of all religious denominations, arrested them and turned them to the Securitate").Anonimu 19:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: In the paragraph: "assassinated in 1991 allegedly by members of the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front, a left-wing paramilitary organization". I fail to see the rationale behind the use of the "allegedly". The FPMR recognized their involvement, organization and responsability for this murder. Active members of the FPMR were tried, sentenced and subsequently escaped from prison (all under democratic rule). What else is needed to make it certain? Mel Romero 05:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assassination 

message: Someone has inserted the misinformation that Guzman was a co-founder of the far-right paramilitary organization Patria y Libertad. That is definitely an outright mistake. He was never a founder, member or apologist of that group. In fact, he was the force behind the Gremialista group, which was oppossed to Allende, but not by violent means.

message: There are strong statements such as "Jaime Guzmán...refused to recognize the legitimacy and constitutionality of the democratically elected Popular Unity government in 1970," or "Guzmán was central in creating the ideological and legal basis to support the overthrow of Salvador Allende" which simply cannot stand unsourced without breeching the NPoV principle.--Darius (talk) 23:16, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Lutheran-Reformed Church

message: There are a number of mistakes in this article.
If "uniert" really translates to "Lutheran-Reformed Church" (a term I have never heard before, and all the churches in question are just called "Evangelical" on the EKD website http://www.ekd.de/english/3863.html ), then the largest one of these is probably the Evangelical Church of the Rhineland.
The EKD (Evangelical Church in Germany) itself is NOT a church body but an umbrella organization which includes 23 or so regional churches ("Landeskirchen"). Therefore one certainly cannot say that the EKD is an "unierte" church, but rather that it CONSISTS of a number of Lutheran, Calvinist, and "unierte" member churches.
For the same reason, it is nonsense to state that the "The largest Protestant church in Germany is the Evangelical Church in Germany." The largest Protestant church in Germany, to the best of my knowledge, is the Lutheran Church of Hanover (in terms of size or numbers possibly competing with Rhineland).
I do not really feel up to writing this article over, but it certainly has to be done in order to meet encyclopedic standards. Anna (talk) 19:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren

message: The translation of the church's name Ceskobratrska cirkev evangelicka –  Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren that is used in the title is misleading. I suggest changing it to Protestant Church of Czech Brethren.
It may seem as a trifle but this really is not an evangelical church. It is a mainline protestant church.
This mistake came probably from that that in Czech there are two seemingly similar words – evangelicka and evangelikalni. Evangelical is a translation of the word evangelikalni. However the church is called evangelicka which means something like “realizing the importance of Gospel”.
This is why I think that this page should be headed differently. It is difficult to find a proper translation but the word protestant is definitely better.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JanaR (talk • contribs) 20:33, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Macciarole had been killed some time earlier and his son John Macciarole was murdered a few weeks after his father (the last came from Enc of OC by Jay Nash). Later witness Peter Savino testified that Macciarole's murderer was Salvatore "Sally dogs"Lombardi who was spoken free of the murder.
