Talk:Moon clip

message: Whoever keeps insisting that this is a .38 Super revolver needs to stop. The current 8-shot version of the M27 uses moon clips for .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges. This revolver is a standard S&W catalog item and is commonly encountered. The .38 Super cartridge is semi-rimmed and will headspace properly in most .38 revolvers without the use of moon clips but the safety of doing this varies. 9mm moon clips can also be made to work with many .38 revolvers (usually by customizing the rear face of the cylinder) but these are not standard catalog guns. These 9mm clips can also be used with .38 ACP and .38 Super cartridges (and probably .380 ACP, as well) but this does not change the fact that the revolver they are being used with was (and is still) designed for use with .38 Special or .357 Magnum cartridges. Also, FYI, Internet forum posts are not generally considered to be reliable citation sources for Wikipedia.--SEWalk (talk) 03:40, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: This article is a not place to add every (cherrypicked) statement of an author that suggests a possible relation between the Pashtuns and Bactrians. That's not how you write a good article, and as you've already been told, the origins of the Pashtuns are still ultimately disputed, and thus it should be treated as such. What's worse is that you not only do this to Bactrians, but other groups too. Also, your ANI report says this . HistoryofIran (talk) 23:42, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: How the hell are the origins of Pashtuns disputed? They speak an indo-Iranian language and they have R1a haplogroup. It’s you Iranians that have mixed origins. Removing Bactrians as the possible ancestors of Pashtuns shows you have a bias against them. 2607:FEA8:4D60:590:E07E:FCF7:8AB0:F214 (talk) 23:36, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

text: The origin of Pashtuns is disputed but the author clearly stated they are the descendants of Bactrians not like how you phrase it to be a mere connection. I suggest you read the book again and interpret it literally as the author wrote it and do not make your own interpretation. Origin of Pashtuns being not yet 100% clear doesn’t mean they should be excluded from historically important people and we can’t just delete them from everything.

Talk:Bnai Ephraim

message: Does anyone have sources for this?  All of the people I know in Nigeria have never heard of such a group. --EhavEliyahu 06:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question about the validity of this information 

message: I don't think this group exists, and "emo yo quaim" does not mean anything in standard Yoruba. It may a phonetic rendering of Ondo-dialect Yoruba, but I would take it with a grain of salt at this point. Similar claims to "Jewish" groups among the Igbo are just as suspicious, in my view. They are remnants of colonial anthropology's push to find foreign or "Hamitic" sources for indigenous African cultures. It seems some people have gone much further than even the originators of these myths could have thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Osomalo (talk • contribs) 
:I fully agree and would even support the deletion of this unverifiable/dubiously sourced article. As you say, similar claims have been made for the Igbo. I remember a debate some months ago on Talk:Igbo_people#Igbo_origins. The outcome was, unsurprisingly, that such claims should be taken with a large grain of salt. — mark ✎ 12:30, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Greetings.  There is only one book I know of that makes a mention that I believe this Bnai Ephraim article is trying to use as a source.  The problem with the book is that it does not give a source for the information.  It does not state where the claim of such a group came from, i.e. who discovered such a group etc.  I once asked some Igbos who practice Judaism in Nigeria if they knew anything about such a group, and they had never heard of a group called Bnai Ephraim.--EhavEliyahu 03:26, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: A deliberate hoax, or false information at best 

message: This article appears to be based on the account of Bata LoBagola, an early 20th century African American entertainer (born Joseph Howard Lee), who invented an exotic African origin for himself.
See:
*An article in Time from 1930 (this takes LoBagola's claims at face value)
*An article from the University of Pennsylvania Museum
*A book which covers his story in some depth
I think this is pretty conclusive.  I suggest we change the title of this article and re-configure it to be about Bata LoBagola himself.--Pharos (talk) 05:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I find this paragraph rather inaccurate. Not only did a challenge never go past "26 stone" (mentioned several times in the movie) but aside from Gonzo there is no hint that this is an all-star team playing and the conclusion that the team should be destroyed is nowhere to be found. Lord Vile has a personal feud going on with Sallow and all which can be seen prior to the match is that Gonzo is told what to do to Sallow (blinding him and breaking his legs "for good measure").

Template talk:New South Wales cities

message: The discussion from the Australian Wikipedians' notice board regarding the creation of this template is included within the speech marks below. Blarneytherinosaur 07:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Under a proclamation by Governor Loftus, on 20 March 1885, the following settlements were proclaimed/confirmed as cities, under the authority of the Crown Lands Act 1884 (48 Vict. No.18):
Armidale, Bathurst, Goulburn, Grafton, Newcastle, Sydney.
Irrespective of any considerations as to population, economy, or other factors, these places were all legally proclaimed cities as of that date, if they had not already been. In the case of Sydney, it was proclaimed a city on 20 July 1842 under the Sydney Corporation Act (6 Vict. No.3). Goulburn was claimed to have been proclaimed a city by virtue of Royal Letters Patent issued by Queen Victoria in 1863, however the legal validity of this document (and all others like it) was thoroughly discredited through several legal cases before and after, so it can be regarded as an unofficial proclamation at the very best. Regardless, all the named settlements were certainly cities in every legal sense with effect from 20 March 1885.
In the same proclamation, the status of all other towns and villages in NSW was also proclaimed/affirmed, and so it would probably be in your interest to obtain a copy of the proclamation for your own records, perhaps? It was published in volume 1 of the NSW Government Gazette, 1885. The State Library will have a copy, or possibly your local historical society if you are lucky.

*Disagree:  Inverted interrobang → ⸘ (it isn't used in Spanish). [unsigned & undated comment]
*Partially agree:  this article is not about Spanish, it is about upside-down question and exclamation marks; the interrobang is precisely a combination of upside-down question and exclamation marks, so it does merit inclusion.  However, (i) only a brief mention is warranted, in a separate sub-section;  and (ii) the article title should not be changed, because other inverted punctuation should not be added — otherwise we will have also inverted quotation marks added, and they should be handled separately.  —DIV (49.179.148.244 (talk) 07:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Marshall Brain

message: I removed the claim that Mr. Eliseo Soriano had answered the questions posed by Brain's "Why Won't God Heal Amputees?" after poring over Mr. Soriano's blog.  On 18 Jun 2007 he posts: "If they say that God won’t heal amputees because He is imaginary, who then healed them of their sickness after the amputation has been done?".  "Why Won't God Heal Amputees?"'s premise is that God does not miraculously restore lost limbs, a point Mr. Soriano does not address, and there is no reason to expect Mr. Brain to respond to his argument. — Saaber 20:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  I think that the argument itself is a... I don't know the word for it. False assumption something. It's tying God's existence to him healing amputees. It's based off of the assumption that God miraculously heals people (outside of special events in the bible where it matters). If that's not true, then he's got no argument to make.
