Talk:Fula jihads

message: Just set up this page following a discussion at Talk:Fula people#Spinning off Fulani Jihad States.3F. The idea is to bring together discussion of the Fula jihads and resulting states into one article. It is far from perfect but a start.--A12n 17:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: This article was put together quickly a few years ago in response to a suggestion and an evident need. It probably does not need much more on the individual states (quick summaries and "main article" pointers suffice), but what would be interesting would be some content on interaction among the states and their respective leaders. Some of that is captured in the individual articles, but it could be brought together with some discussion of the context in this article. BTW, seems like this article would also be of relevance to WikiProject Nigeria. Not sure why they are not listed among the supporting projects.--A12n (talk) 14:04, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

"EDIT: This is incorrect: the commander mentioned in the AJP was a "Mullah Abdul-Ghaffar", who was himself a subordinate commander and not linked to the murders. Abdul-Ghaffar is a different name from Abdul-Ghafour, who was a local commander unheard of before 2006-07. Please correct." Bromley86 (talk) 22:30, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Busfest

message: English ist not my first language, so my  question may be nonsense. I am wondering if an event can be "owned" by a person or club. An event such as the busfest is formed by the people atttending it. Not the Club is "producing" it, the people who attend are (if the term "production" is even applicable). Is there such thing as an ownership of an event?  Sure - the event is organized by someone, someone may have name-rights etc. 
So is it a thing in English to call the organizers of an event "Owner"?
And even if yes, who owns it? Vanfest Ltd or Simon Holloway?

message: This is a little bit of a tricky category, but since the Fulas ruled a large part of West Africa before European colonization, and there are categories like "French West Africa" this seemed to be a logical and justifiable category.

Talk:Trabzonspor Basketbol Takımı

message: Alpella is the current club; the article Ülkerspor should be merged into this one as a history section. matt91486 17:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger Proposal

message: Ülkerspor was a corporate-funded basketball club, which was founded in 1993 by "Ülker Gıda" corporation. The club standed as one of the most successfull basketball clubs in Turkish Basketball League history with 4 league titles and numerous Euroleague attendances in 13 years of its history. In that period, the club was the only real competition against the Turkish basketball titan, "Efes Pilsen S.K."
In year 2006, the club has been merged with "Fenerbahçe" basketball club under a new name of "Fenerbahçe Ülker", due to a sponsorship deal initiated by the Ülker Gıda corporate board. The new team was founded on the key players of "Ülkerspor", and reinforced with a few players from "Fenerbahçe".
Later the board assigned a new name for the empty Ülkerspor team: "Alpella B.K.". They obtained the young players of former "Fenerbahçe" and former "Ülkerspor", and announced this new roster as the new team that shall join the TBL.
So, theorically yes, "Alpella B.K." is the new name of "Ülkerspor". However, it can NEVER be said that "Alpella B.K. has taken over where Ülkerspor left". Ülkerspor is one of the most successfull teams TBL has ever seen, and there must be a separate article for "Ülkerspor", in order to reflect the development of competition in Turkish Basketball League history.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Remytraitor (talk • contribs) 09:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Ankhwennefer (pharaoh)

message: You should merge them, they're the same article.Ericl 18:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: Just as a note, Ankhwennefer and Horwennefer are titled pharaohs by many modern academics, including Toby Wilkinson, John D. Grainger, Günther Hölbl, Joyce Tyldesley, and Francis Breyer. Wikipedia follows the sources, and the sources call them pharaohs. The claim that they were not considered phararohs in "contemporary politics" is also nonsense; their subjects clearly called them pharaohs, as evidenced by surviving ancient sources. Applodion (talk) 12:42, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The Ptolemaic Kingdom was the legal successor of Ancient Egypt and Ptolemaic rulers were the rightful pharaohs. The majority of scholarly sources refer to Ankhwennefer as a person who claimed the title and who was referred to as pharaoh by his own subjects; his claims were neither recognized by the Ptolemaic Kingdom nor by Rome nor by any other contemporary state. My suggested infobox edit mentions him as a claimed pharaoh and mentions the territory that he actually ruled. The article body can then elaborate in detail his claims, how it actually was and what sources say. However, the infobox is here to summarise general information and not explain every detail. Anyways, I’m open to alternative suggestions. User23242343 (talk) 13:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  "Ptolemaic Kingdom was the legal successor" Umh, no, it wasn't. There was no such thing as a "legal successor" in this period. The Ptolemies were basically a warlord clan who usurped the title of pharaoh. They had just about as much claim to the title as any Egyptian peasant. The only difference between Ankhwennefer and the Ptolemies in this regard is the fact that Ankhwennefer lost the rebellion."his claims were neither recognized by the Ptolemaic Kingdom nor by Rome nor by any other contemporary state" Where is your source for this claim? We have basically no evidence for how any outside power -be they Romans, Seleucids or others- treated Ankhwennefer. In fact, the one faction for whom we have at least some evidence for diplomatic contact, the Nubians, suggests that Ankhwennefer was treated as an independent ruler.Either way, the "majority of scholarly sources" (as I mentioned above) actually do call Ankhwennefer a pharaoh, so we follow their example.

She’s currently serving as director general of the foreign service and director of human resources at the State Department. She has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Iowa.
