Talk:Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich of Russia

message: For a August 2005 deletion debate see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich of Russia
----
Alexander was not Alexander and Maria's first child, he was born AFTER his brother Nicholas, so there is no need for a paragraph about how if he hadn't died, Russia might have ended up different, etc. This may be a confusion between his father and uncle; Alexander III's brother, Tsesarevitch Nicholas, died as a young man, and his title and fiancé, Dagmar of Denmark, were both passed to his younger brother, Alexander.

message: This article is clearly unencyclopedic. The baby in question did not do anything individually prominent, nor represented anything historically important. Just the fact that he was born an imperial, does not suffice. I have earlier stated some thumb-rule criteria of babies having an own article, such as if the baby in question left a country in a succession crisis when dying. Or possibly, if the history may have altered significantly, had the baby lived. Otherwise, all the pertinent details of the baby in question fit into articles of parent(s), and an own article is undeserved. For encyclopedia, it is fragmenting to make these separate articles. 217.140.193.123 08:36, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  delete eventually 

message: A couple of days ago, some editor added following to the page: "Alexander's death may have impacted on Russia's future. Unlike his father and grandfather, Nicholas II could not count on support from his brothers during his reign; Alexander dead, their younger brother Georgi ill for most of his life and dying early; and Michael, who spent most of Nicholas' latter reign in exile. If Alexander had lived, he might have been the brotherly support Nicholas needed, and likewise, had Alexander married someone of equal birth and had children, the pressure on Nicholas and Alexandra to produce a son might not have been so intense."
I regard that sort of speculation totally unsuitable for an encyclopedia. Moreover, it tells much about driving force and habits of certain editors. All this bulls--t for a text of a dead baby. To make a long article out of thin air. Arrigo 11:46, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Ice climbing 

message: There seems to be some confusion about C. W. McCall's (William Fries') terms as mayor of Ouray.  This article said in one place that he had served three terms as mayor, but a few paragraphs later said he had been a two term mayor.  The Wikipedia page for C. W. McCall said he had served three terms, but the website cw-mccall.com says two terms making it an even split.  A fairly exhaustive effort to find an authoritative source one way or the other was unsuccessful as all the news articles I could find stated only that he served for six years.  I was also unsuccessful in attempting to locate firm information regarding this question from the city of Ouray website.  I tried yet another angle and attempted to determine what the length of a mayoral term was in Ouray in the late 80's, and early 90s.  This was also a dud.  The current mayor's term is indicated by the Ouray city website as running from 2008 to 2010 but it doesn't say if that means Foomonth Xday, 2008 to Foomonth Xday, 2010 (a two year term) or if it includes all of 2008, 2009, and 2010 (a three year term.)  If the first is the case, Fries served three terms, if the second, then he served two.  Even that, however, assumes that the mayor's term is the same now as it was then and I could not verify that either.  Therefore, as I could not resolve the question of how many terms, but could verify how many years he served, I changed the references in both this article and the C. W. McCall article to say six years and included a reference to that effect. OlenWhitaker  • talk to me or don't • ♣ ♥ ♠ ♦ 18:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason to believe that the ECC still exists in any form at all? It seems to have been defunct for over a decade. Practically all the information in the article is at least a ten years out of date. Roger Knight stepped down as Chair of the ECC in 2010. I don't beleive he was replaced. The European Cricket Championship has not been played in years. The ICC Champions Trophy no longer features Associate members and hasn't since 2004. The functions of the ECC were seemingly taken over by ICC-Europe, which was itself later scrapped as an independent organistation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankieGommer (talk • contribs) 12:42, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Returns to scale

message: I was just editing an article and was about to insert a link to 'Economies of Scale' when I figured that I should just check out the economies of scale article.  I was a bit surprised when I was redirected to Returns to Scale and even more surprised when I read "In economics, returns to scale and economies of scale are related terms that describe what happens as the scale of production increases. They are different terms and not to be used interchangeably."  If they are different terms why does Economies of Scale redirect to this article??!  This is a definite reason for splitting this article into two.  On top of that, whilst economies of scale is a reasonably well known term, Returns to Scale is (as far as I can make out) only for the cognoscenti (who, in this case, are mainly economists).  Another definite reason for splitting the article in two.  Any objections to me doing this?  Wikikob 19:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: What now looks like a fascinating article, :it:Rinascimento siciliano, was started in 2011 by  (still an active contributor). I can't judge it, because I can't read Italian. What now looks like a fascinating article (translation), :fr:Renaissance sicilienne, was started in 2020 by  (also still an active contributor). I can hardly judge it, as the level of my French is appallingly low. What's now a sadly truncated article, Sicilian Renaissance, was started in 2021 by  (who seems to have retired).
I don't think that anyone has disputed that the Sicilian Renaissance was/is very notable and merits a long and fascinating article. But much of the article was unsourced, and therefore the whole thing was demoted to draft -- but later it was promoted to article, whereupon it had long-unreferenced chunks removed: a troubled history indeed.
What the article needs is editors with a solid background in these matters, who are proficient at reading Italian (the language of most of the sources provided so far), and who might even have access to the relevant codices.

message: I dont know from where you got that abu Muslim was the leader of the battle, all Islamic sources such as al Tabri and Ibn Kathir say that it was lead by abdullah ibn ali, this is what ibn Kathir says in al bedyat and nehayat and i quote:
"We have mentioned that Marwan, when he heard the news of Abu Musallam and his followers, and what happened in the land of Khorasan, he turned from Haran and landed on a river close to Mosul. He reached al Zab from the land of iraq and then when he learned that the al suffah became a caliph in al kufa and had soldiers allied to him. Then Al saffah gathered his soldiers and brought them to Abu 'Awn bin Abi Yazid in a heavy army, one of the princes of the al saffah, and gave him the the govenrship of al zab and supplies from the hand of the al saffah, but then he gave the lead to his uncle Abdullah bin Ali and said: God's blessing."
