Talk:Aftab Sachak

message: I have removed the reference to Sachak being born in Afghanistan, which was inluded by a user who claimns to have seen the subject's passport . Whilst I dont doubt this to be true, wikipedia requires information like this from published sources for inclusion. The only published source we have on this matter is a book by Hilary Kingsley stating him to be born in East Africa. If this is incorrect, please find a published source to back this up, and it can be changed no problem. 
I have also had to remove the stuff about him being sentenced for three years. I have done a search and this does show up on a few websites such as this one  that states "Sashak was convicted at Isleworth County Court on Monday October 17h 2011 of obtaining money by fraud from one of his best friends of 20 years.  The former friend  had some 18 years previous been engaged to a young lady.  The engagement had broken down and the victim of this scam had not seen or heard of the young lady since.
Then 5 years ago Sachak claimed that he had bumped into the young lady and she had told him that she was in an unhappy marriage and would love to once more make contact with the victim again. As "she" was afraid of her husband she thought it best to make contact through texting.
So began a 5 year session of texts between the victim and as he thought was the young lady. In fact it was Sachak texting back all the time. Posing as the young lady he text that "she" was in need of money and could "she" borrow some. The victim agree and using his good friend Sachak as go-between passed over in excess of £83,000 over the 5 year period.  
Recently it emerged that the lady had no knowledge of the loans and Sachak had taken the money for himself. He was sentenced at Isleworth County Court on June 8th 2012 to three years imprisonment"
I will leave it to others to assess if this source is deemed reliable. They have lifted from a former version of a wikipedia page, so not sure what to make of it.GunGagdinMoan 17:33, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

:Baronets, as they hold hereditary titles, often for a large part of their lives, follow the same practice as hereditary peers and should have their title noted in the beginning of the article. The format is Sir John Smith, 17th Baronet. For the article title, this format should only be used when disambiguation is necessary; otherwise, the article should be located at John Smith. John Smith, 17th Baronet should never be used with the postfix and without the prefix.
Therefore this articles name should be changed.--Ginggangsgoolies 20:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Austrian Embassy 

message: This article uncritically states that Backhouse could speak Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Manchu and Mongolian, but gives no indication of how and where he learned all these languages. Given that he is an unreliable source, can we be certain that he really was such an amazing polyglot? I assume that he must have been able to speak Mandarin at least, but the article implies that he arrived in China in 1899 and immediately started translating Chinese, apparently without having ever studied the language. It does not seem very plausible to me. He may have picked up some words and phrases in Manchu and Mongolian at the Qing court, but that hardly means that he actually spoke Manchu or Mongolian. And where did he pick up Russian and Japanese from? BabelStone (talk) 14:59, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Russians and Japanese did have a presence in China when Backhouse arrived, through their legations in Beijing and troops stationed alongside the concessions in the Treaty Ports - both powers were involved in suppressing the Boxer Rising and then there was the Russo-Japanese War, so a source and incentive for up and coming British expats in China to learn these languages. Of course, being fluent in Japanese would have been helpful when he came to collaborate with the Japanese as WWII occupiers.Cloptonson (talk) 09:03, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with BabelStone; having just come across and read this article, I would say that it seems somewhat unlikely that he'd mastered- or was at least fluent in- all these languages having had what would appear to be insufficient years in which to learn them, particularly when this claim is considered in conjunction with the fact that Backhouse was evidently being a fantasist of rather high order. Accordingly it does seem a little strange that the article uncritically states this, but I'm not sure what more in-depth biographical accounts might say on the subject- are there any that address his alleged linguistic proficiency?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.76.135 (talk) 19:09, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

'He wrote in subsequent account of his surgical work which was also reported in The Lancet: "I have never known anyone more clumsy with his fingers than the King and to see him use this great weapon for this small purpose was really alarming."'
The article didn't explain what the "great weapon" was, or for what "small purpose" it was being used. The original source suggests it refers to the King "cutting his cigars with the blade of a heavy pearl-handled pocketknife." This doesn't seem relevant at all to the surgery on his appendix.

"Engorging of Honey by Worker Honeybees when their Colony is Smoked", J. B. Free, Journal of Apicultural Research ,Published online: 24 Mar 2015
2)
David C. Newton, 1968, "Behavioural Response of Honeybees to Colony Disturbance by Smoke. I. Engorging Behaviour", Journal of Apicultural Research, Vol. 7 , Iss. 1,1968 
"Experiments showed that engorging behaviour is released among the members of a honeybee colony when they are stimulated by smoke, or by vibration caused by a falling weight. The number of bees engorging is greatest during dearth conditions and unfavourable flying weather. Engorging reaches a maximum about two minutes after a colony is disturbed. An engorging reaction increases the probability of colony survival after destruction of its combs; the implications of this are discussed".
