Talk:Sasanian Empire

message: "The period of Sasanian rule is considered tobe a high point in Iranian history and in many ways was the peak of ancient Iranian culture before the conquest by Arab Muslims under the Rashidun Caliphate and subsequent Islamization of Iran."
What measurement is being used here to determine status of culture? Shouldn't this be rephrased to be more precise as to what this statement intends?

thread_title:  Tattva Vision 

message: The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is certainly notable, and this is an aspect of their teaching and practice which has shown up in various contexts during the last century or so.  It's unfortunate that no one has ever taken page numbers from the books listed as references to form suitable footnotes, but it's a little strange to delete the article for basically that reason... AnonMoos (talk) 08:19, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It looked to me as though this would be best merged into the Golden Dawn article itself, as there is relaly not much information here, apart from listing the tattwa symbols. I am OK with it staying, but it would be of more use filled out or given greater context. H.dryad (talk) 13:22, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that this aspect of Golden Dawnism is suited for inclusion in the general article when there are many other comparable aspects which would bloat the article to great length if all were included (and if you intended to signal a merge, you should have added a merge tag).  Not sure what context you would want to include that wouldn't fall under "how-to" information, to which there was objection in 2005 above.  Basically adherents use the symbols to guide their meditations and search for astral visions in certain directions.  There are also the "Akashic records".  The elemental astral planes showed up much later in the Dungeons and Dragons "Planescape" setting (see Inner Plane), but due to influences which were probably several times removed from the Golden Dawn...

Talk:Hun bow

message: Recent archeological digs in China show that a proto-celtic people living in the area introduced the recurve bow to the Asians, not the other way around.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/2502chinamum.html
I would suggest an update to reflect this- unless you can prove the NOVA show and it's participants to be a fraud.
Well, the link seems to be rather excited, and doesn't seem to mention anything about the bow they found, nor is it very clear on dates, but I suppose that the Tocharians, like most steppe nomads for millennia, may very well have had composite bows. Who thought of them first, and who the Huns were exactly, is less clear. Richard Keatinge 10:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This article needs major cleanup. The only reference 404s, it is an historical article without a single date or even a century, the tone is breathlessly gushing, and numerous performance claims are made (some sounding suspiciously like they may have arisen from RPG rules) which may or may not be true but could only be determined by experiment or detailed historical references, neither or which are cited. Further, some of the claims just don't make sense (e.g. claim that being composite improves accuracy -- it doesn't -- or that recurves are inherently faster -- they're not.) Finally the image (added by User:Ulv, who seems to be inactive) is obviously at best a reconstruction without information about how, why or when (which demands the question, how do we know it is accurate?), and in fact seems to be a commercial model.

thread_title:  OS 

message: I don't think some information I have included in this article counts as original research, even though the information was obtained from a lot of trial and error getting my Handbook to work with Linux.  In particular, I point out the following:
* Dillo runs on a Handbook 486 running Linux.  How do I know this?  Because Dillo runs on my Linux 486 SX/25 handbook (and, heck, you can see my picture of Dillo running on this handbook).
* Memory should be tested with memtest before being installed with this unit.  How do I know this?  Because I had a bugger of a time getting non-defective memory to work in this unit.
In both cases, I don't think I'm crossing the original research line because my primary source isn't myself; the primary source is my Handbook, which can happily be used to browse the web with Dillo.
Additionally, I am not at all interpreting any of the data that I have obtained; the fact that Dillo runs on my Handbook is not one where my subjective impressions or inpterpretations change what content that would be in this encylopedia. Samboy 17:58, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:University of Regensburg

message: I have removed a sentence from the introduction stating that the University of Regensburg is "conservative compared to other German universities". In my view, this is definitely not NPOV, and is not supported by any source. One might add, though, that Regensburg is not among those newer German universities that are explicitly judged as "reform universites" like the University of Constance or the University of Bielefeld. But not being a reform university does not imply any conservativism. --ChWolff (talk) 16:17, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:John Trenchard (politician)

message: The article quotes DNB's YoB as 1640. However, History of Parliament - see http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/member/trenchard-sir-john-1649-95 - gives the more realistic year of 1649. Which is right? His parents apparently married 14 Jan 1638 at Crewkerne. If so, then he was their 3rd son (Thomas, Robert, John) born just two years after the parents' marriage (there are also Anne, Elizabeth and Mary before him !!). HoP also gives his matriculation at New College as 1665 - so aged 16 if you believe HoP or aged 25 if you believe DNB. 
I give notice that I will change the YoB to be 1649 in a week's time, quoting HoP - but noting the error in DNB. OK? 86.188.102.76 (talk) 00:32, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

message: As John Trenchard (Secretary of State) and John Trenchard (writer) were earlier mixed as one person and one article, I'm not sure which one of them was a member of parliament for Taunton. If somebody knows or is able to check, please confirm or correct.
This sentence seems unclear to me:
His works include A Short History of Standing Armies in England 1698 and 1731 and The Natural History of Superstition 1709.
If he died in 1723, "John Trenchard (1662–1723)", the publication date of his first book should be explained.

Talk:James Weldon Johnson

message: I've added the following information to the article on the NAACP.  I don't have time to rewrite it for this piece on JWJ, but it definitely should be reworked slightly and added to this article.
In 1916, when the NAACP was just seven years old, chairman Joel Spingarn invited James Weldon Johnson to serve as field secretary. Johnson was a former U.S. consul to Venezuela and a noted scholar and columnist. Within four years, Johnson was instrumental in increasing the NAACP's membership from 9,000 to almost 90,000. In 1920, Johnson was elected head of the organization. Over the next ten years under his leadership, the increasingly NAACP would escalate its lobbying and litigation efforts, becoming internationally known for its advocacy of equal rights and equal protection for the "American Negro."  deeceevoice 11:52, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Johnson's pivotal role in the NAACP

He married a girl name Grace Nail.
Grace Nail Johnson later collaborated with her husband on a screenwritting project.
He wrote his own poetry and supported work by others,also compilling and publishing antholigies of spirituals and poetry.
During this period,the NAACP was mounting legal challenges to southern states disfranchisement of African Americans.
Johnson also read the law to prepare for the bar.
Johnson's first success as a Broadway songwritter,Johnson moved in the upper echelons of African American.
It was not until 1927 that Johnson acknowknowledged writting endanger the novel,steressing that is not a work of autobiography but mostly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.70.224.234 (talk) 00:07, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
