Talk:Harmony, Minnesota

message: I don't know why this page has to have a brief history of the Amish, it would be more appropriate to have a history of Harmony, considering many different groups, not just the Amish settled in the area.
Date of founding? History? I would not rate this entry very highly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.96.18.151 (talk) 15:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Talk:Loukas Notaras

message: This article is completely full of lie and based on hatred against Ottoman Empire.
None of Ottoman emperors including the Sultan Mehmed has ever been a bisexual.
After Istanbul was conquered, Notaras was summoned and questioned about city's resistance which was unexpectedly longer than expected. He said some of Emperor's grand vizier was sending false messages that were saying siege will be lifted soon.
After that revealed truth, Grand vizier Candarli Halil Pasa was executed.
Loukas Notaras executed because of his ties with gangs that were resisting the Empire.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.100.224.195 (talk) 23:37, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biased Article 

message: This has been pulled from a couple of academic articles, & a posting to a Usenet group; there is that little information on Notaras' parents & children.
* Father: Nicholas Notaras // Mother: not known
* Wife: A woman referred to as "Palaeologina". She may have been a relative of Constantine XI; the post to Usenet claims Constantine XI was married a third time (sic!) to a woman considered Notaras' sisiter
* Children: This is a little less unreliable
** Two sons killed in the Fall of Constantinople.
** Jacob Notaras. A younger son who was taken by Mehmed II into his Seragio to serve as a catamite. Jacob escaped from the Seragio & Constantinople, finding his way to Italy where his sister helped him establish himself in Venice. Married, no children.
** Anna Notaras. Oldest daughter & best known of Loukas' children. Moved to Italy before the Fall of Constantinople. AFAIK, never married, no children. Died 8 July 1507
** Maria Notaras. Loukas had a son-in-law who was executed before him; maybe he was Maria's husband? There is a report 2 Notaras daughters are documented fleeing the city after its Fall & arriving at Chios.
** Helena / Euphrosyne Notaras. Married Giorgio Gattilusio (d. 1449), she & her children cheated out of their inheritance by Palamedes Gattilusio. She may have remarried to a Kantakouzos. Dead by 1480, possibly in Ottoman territories.
** Theodora Notaras. Loukas had a son-in-law who was executed before him; maybe he was Theodora's husband? There is a report 2 Notaras daughters are documented fleeing the city after its Fall & arriving at Chios.
I'd add this information if I had sources I was satisfied with. -- llywrch (talk) 06:28, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Luca della Robbia

message: There are several issues with citations, unbiased language, and some missing information in the article.
In the introduction to the article there are no citations listed, the references given from Oxford Art Online and Encyclopedia Britannica could be good citations for this section. The Biography Section mentions information it says is from the work of Giorgio Vasari, yet does not mention which work or include a citation for his book. Citing The Lives of the Artists Oxford University Press, 1998. , and adding some more information which is present in this work would be an improvement for the Biography section.
Some of the language of the article comes across as unprofessional or as biased. For example where the introduction describes his "most famous work" or the Sculpture section describes "the most important existing work", these sections do not give any citation for why this is so and it comes across as a personal opinion. Some of the passages which describe artworks also insert  assessments of the art which are un-cited and biased, for example in the section of Sculptures "Their figures are at once lively, finely observed, and gracefully combined in groups designed to fit the ten panels of the gallery." is an un-cited, non-neutral critique of the work. There are also several areas where there are inferences about della Robbia's skill and technique which are un-cited. For example the section on the Cantoria which claims "The advanced nature of the work proves that he must have been an accomplished artist long before joining the Sculptors Guild in 1432",is un-cited. The Oxford Art Online article on della Robbia, given in references, gives some citations from other artists that could be used to describe what specific professionals thought of della Robbia's skill. 
Over all the article can be improved by either providing citations for professional assessments of the importance and skill of different works, or deleting any biased sentences all together. There is also more information in sources for this article such as in Gentilini, Giancarlo. "Robbia, della." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online, Oxford University Press, which could be added to improve the article.Walcoh (talk) 20:45, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Luciano Laurana

message: It looks this article cannot get to stability. It is against wiki guidelines and common sense to report the alternative name of people and places in other articles. The names that should be reported when linking to another artcle need to be the one that are used in the relevant articles (Zadar, Sebenik, Giorgio da Sebenico, etc.). Exception exist in some situations (e.g. for places like Bolzano-Bozen or San Sebastián-Donostia) but here it does not look they apply.
If someone believe that the right name should be another he/she is welcome to discuss of this matter in the respective relevant page but in any case cannot put alternative names in another page. Otherwise we keep exporting and multiplying problems. And pushing POV's won't be of any interest, because those edits will be reverted without fail. --Silvio1973 (talk) 10:28, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Hour of Power

message: I find the quote that the Crystal Cathedral is estimated to be the best known church in the world rather doubtable. Does anybody have a source to that? 
What about St. Peter in Rome or the Agia Sophia in Constantinople and many other churches of highest importance to Christianity? Are these believably less known than Crystal Cathedral? As I said: rather doubtable.
:The article didn't say best known church, it said "one of the most popular Christian television programs."  By the way, I find the evangelical criticism here rather weak.  Many people come to Christ via programs like these.  Isn't this the fulfillment of the great commission?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gjohnson21 (talk • contribs) 16:34, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  re: best known church 

message: I don't think it is the aim of Robert Schuller to just have Protestant "evangelical Christians" appear on the program. Nor are Protestants the only Christians who are "evangelical" - Catholics and Orthodox Christians spread the Gospel too!
The programme has a history of welcoming all types of Christians on the program and having all types of Christians view the program.
Catholic Archbishop Fultan Sheen preached in the Church when he was alive.
Mother Teresa was a guest on the program.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.184.72.161 (talk) 02:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Magister Wigbold

message: There seems to be no evidence for a lot of the information on this page, for example Wigbold's birth year. There are no sources cited for this on the German page either. I have looked through most of the secondary literature on him and can find no indication of when he was born. I would therefore like to remove the birth year, and also other bits of information without sources in either the English or the German version, or is there any reason not to do so?

Talk:Thinking man's/woman's crumpet

message: There was a vogue in the 1960s for advertisers to describe things as "the thinking man's X," in an attempt to appeal to consumers who considered themselves high-brow (another 1960s term). I cannot think of any examples, sadly, but they would on the lines of "Volvo: the Thinking Man's Car" or "Newsweek: The Thinking Man's newsmagazine." ~~RKH
The article cites an article that says that the term 'crumpet' in this context dates from the 1930s.  The Penguin Dictionary of Historical Slang pushes it back to around 1880.  However, that source adds that 'crumpet' was also used as a term of endearment from the same time.  The phrase 'thinking man's crumpet' is furthermore almost certainly also a play on the meaning crumpet = head.Athulin (talk) 10:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Karim Abdul Razak

message: The spelling of his name is Abdul and not 'Abdoul'. I propose redirecting the page to 'Karim Abdul Razak' from Karim Abdoul Razak.--Natsubee 23:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why was this page redirected from the correct spelling of his name, which is Karim Abdul Razak?--Natsubee 00:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also always thought that the correct spelling was Abdul. My guess is that it was redirected because Abdoul gets more Google hits (and FIFA pages spell it that way), so I left the article name as is (although added a note with the alternate spelling to the lead). The best source(s) are possibly the Ghanaian ones. Whatever the correct spelling is, it should be reflected in the article's name. --ChaChaFut 16:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: His full name is actually Karimu Abdul Razak Tanko as found in this aritcle. Any one who really knows Razak would most likely search for Abdul Razak and only come across this page after redirects as the spelling is wrong. I personally knew him as Abdul Razak Tanko. The Karimu is new to me but is obviously his dad's surname. I still think the page name should change though. If I were Razak, I would not be happy my name has been deliberately spelled wrongly. He is still alive!--Natsubee 16:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Moved page as per this discussion to Karim Abdul Razak, due to evidence showing it as the correct / most widely used spelling. --ChaChaFut 17:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Correct - maybe, but not the most widely used, Abdoul gets almost twice more google hits, hence is the most widely used spelling, thats why I created the page as Abdoul, although being an encyclopedia, wikipedia must use the correct one and if youre sure Abdul is the one, let it be like that. --BanRay 08:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Val IT

message: Thanks for whoever did this, but ValIT is effectively produced by ITGI and ISACA. ISACA is the older and more prestigious body.  On notability issues, Val IT is still new, and is not a commercial product in the strictest sense. In it's field, it is becoming regarded by governments as authoritative.  Again, consulting houses too often DO NOT want people to know of it.

Talk:A. R. Ammons

message: I am concerned that many passages in this article are plagiarized from "Archie: A Profile of A.R. Ammons" by David Lehman, originally published in American Poet magazine, © 2006, and  available online on the poets.org website. Some comparisons:
Wiki: "The colon is used as an all-purpose punctuation mark, with the effect that closure is continually postponed."
Lehman: "Archie uses his signature colon as an all-purpose punctuation mark. The colon permits him...to postpone closure indefinitely."
Wiki: "The three-line stanzas resemble what may be called 'terza libre'—a rhymeless imitation of Dante's terza rima." Lehman: "The three-line stanzas...resemble a species of terza libre: a rhymeless version...."
Wiki: "The critic Harold Bloom has championed Ammons as a transcendentalist, 'the most direct Emersonian in American poetry since Frost'."  Lehman: "Harold Bloom has championed Ammons as a transcendentalist, 'the most direct Emersonian in American poetry since Frost'." 
And etcetera.  The Wikipedia article has only one in-text citation and one reference, and that's in the "Life" section.  The "Works" section is unreferenced, and strikes me as either original research, or plagiarized passages, or a mixture of both.

message: It was good to see so much more detail added to the article. The article was nothing but a stub until then. Unfortunately I had to revert the changes because my attempts at rewriting it in order to meet reasonable editorial standards proved too daunting.
The major problem of the edits is the promotional language of Peters' ideologies. The claims Peters made for his ideas are listed as facts. No critical analysis is given, no citations to critical analysis are given, and no hint that any of it was even controversial is given. Peters's claims are not even described as claims, but as facts.
I encourage the editor who made those contributions to separate the facts from the ideology, and present facts about the ideology rather than promote the ideology. Then we will have an encyclopædic article. Strebe (talk) 20:12, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
