Talk:Francis Fulford (born 1953)

message: In keeping with style guidelines (Wikipedia:Profanity) I am amending the quotes to remove the asterisks. (Note that those in the programme titles are appropriate because they accurately name the shows.)
The third quote is unreferenced and appears to be due to a third person. Can someone correct this? It's a good quote
Also, the following link to a refernced article is broken, so I have removed it -- http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7-1205652_1,00.html

thread_title: Quotes

message: The article says "...they [the Fulfords] remain members of the untitled nobility, a specifically British social class."
This seems strange to me because untitled nobility is commonplace among continental nobility, but NOT among the British. People who would be members of untitled nobility on the continent are usually classed as gentry in the UK, not nobility. The Fulfords appear to predate the abolition of feudal tenure in England, prior to which their class would have been considered untitled nobility but we're going back centuries here.
My point is that the Fulfords do appear to be a remnant of untitled nobilty, but untitled nobility are a specifically un-British class, not the other way around.

replies: text: I partially agree with you in the sense that in a mainland European context having a coat of arms implies nobility. But in a British context a gentleman may have a coat of arms (be an armiger) yet he would not usually be regarded as a nobleman by British society. That is a status usually reserved for titled families. This is largely beside the point anyway. My original comment was the there's nothing specifically British about untitled nobility. Untitled nobility is commonplace in the European tradition, so how can it be "specifically British". The landed gentry are a specifically British social class, a social position in mainland Europe largely occupied by the specifically un-British untitled nobility. As I understand it, the Fulfords were most probably considered noble during feudal times, so their claim to be untitled nobility isn't unfounded, it's just not specifically British. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 12:54, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Revisiting this page after several years I am pleased to find it much improved, especially the clarification around the family's status.

hi, I'm chris, writing this on 10.9.11 I just visited this town, and I'm not an expert, but I found it really interesting!  There is an old village with stone houses that I was told are 100's of years old.  I also met a master potter who gave me a tour of his pottery factory.  There are a lot of pottery factories here and they use the old fashioned way of baking the pottery with kilns heated from underground fires.  The residents we met seemed to have a long history in the area, so i'm sure some research would reveal a lot of interesting history.

thread_title:  Revert?  

message: A student editor has recently added extensive content about Ali Qushji. I have reverted this addition. This article should have, at most, one paragraph about any given researcher. Overview articles with general titles like 'Science and technology in X' rarely have more than a few sentences about any given individual. Adding multiple subsections is undue weight, and a content fork (WP:FORK) from the current Ali Qushji article. If you want to add content about Ali Qushji, the bulk of it should be at his article, with at most a paragraph here. A long list of 'Notable Works' for a single individual, sourced only to low-quality muslimheritage.org is not appropriate.Dialectric (talk) 18:29, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ali Qushji  

message: At least 3 students in University_of_Oklahoma/Science_and_Civilization_in_Islam_(Fall_2019) have been recently adding large amounts of content to this page. Much of this content overlaps existing articles about individuals active during this period. Repeating this content is Wikipedia:Content forking. Per the guideline, content forking "results in redundant or conflicting articles and are to be avoided." As this is an overview article, information about any given scholar should be limited. Large sections of their works and personal history are best left on the pages for those scholars. If you see that a given scholar is not mentioned, feel free to add that individual, but I suggest no more than a paragraph about any one person. More than that, and you run into the issue of giving WP:Undue weight to that person relative to others active in the same time period. I also urge you to stop using muslimheritage.org. As discussed several times on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard the site has inconsistent publishing standards, and has published numerous articles that make multiple incorrect claims. If a claim from muslimheritage.com is correct, it is likely also mentioned elsewhere in a higher quality source, either peer reviewed journals or books.Dialectric (talk) 03:18, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Work in Progress

message: The author of this article does not do Sultan (Pasha) al-Atrash justice.  He/she over-simplifies the man, his struggles and his ideals.  One instance of such over simplification lies in the article's assertion that al-Atrash "demanded a national Syrian unity."  Gramatical issues aside, I cannot help but wonder about the accuracy of this assertion.  
Has the author forgotten about Sultan Pasha's bitter struggles with Presidents Quwwatli and Shishakli?  The latter leading to the utter impoverishment of the jabal, and the demolishion of several towns by the Syrian Army.  Or what about his desire (articulated to both British and Jordanian authorities) to attach jabal el-Druze to Jordan as opposed to Syria?
At least one of the historians who have published studies, treatises and books about the Jabal's history argues that Sultan was interested, first and foremost, in maintaining the traditional institutions that gave him the power he enjoyed among the Druze.  His priority, understandably, was maintaining the jabal's autonomy from the central government (be it French or Syrian) and preserving the freedom needed for the Druze to conduct their own affairs as they saw fit.  Whenever that autonomy was threatened, he moved to counter the threat.
I recommend that the author, and whomever is interested in Sultan Pasha al Atrash, follow the link pasted bellow to read a more detailed and comprehensive perspective of the man and his actions.  It is one thing to portray a man as one would like, and another to attempt to portray him as he was.
