Talk:Len Beadell

message: A "well done" to the writers for this article, notably User:GRAHAMUK. My father knew Len Beadell in the 1950s at Woomera, South Australia and, from my father's tales, they were at least to some extent friends. This meant that I heard second-hand about Beadell's exploits and the long periods he spent off surveying, either alone or with the highway construction teams. Of course, Beadell surveyed ahead of the team, so he was alone even when notionally with a team. I grew up with a copy of Too Long in the Bush and his other books around the house; and, I read them.

thread_title:  Australian Stonehenge section 

message: Fellow (gender neutral) editors.  The articles Len Beadell and Gunbarrel Highway both erroneously state that the Gunbarrel Highway was Len Beadell’s first road.  The first road he built was from Mabel Creek Station to Emu in October 1953.  The Gunbarrel Highway was begun in November 1955. It is my intention to correct the error in both articles, provided there are no objections, by the end of May 2011. The change will involve a partial re-write.  If one of you out there chooses to do so beforehand, well that is your prerogative.

Talk:Ordoño II of León

message: The map had several errors, I believe.  Firstly, Castile was not a kingdom then.  Secondly, the division into Galicia, León, and Castile seems a little arbitrary.  Why not Galicia, León, and Asturias? Thirdly, the spelling of "Al-Andaluz" is foreign to me (in any language).  Finally, Aragón looked nothing like that at that time.  Srnec 02:33, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Map

message: The introduction part seems to be a translation from the Spanish version, and, if so, there seems to be some mistranslations:
* "who submitted only the territories of the kingdom of Leon under his control"
The corresponding Spanish text is "que sometió a su autoridad única los territorios del reino leonés", which should be understood as "who submitted the territories of the kingdom of Leon under his sole control" (after the death of García I of León, who was in conflict with Ordoño). I mean, the use of "única" is misunderstood here.
* "His reign marked the tactical and smooth transition of..."
The corresponding Spanish text is "Su reinado supuso el tránsito tácito y tranquilo del...", which should be understood as "His reign marked the quiet and smooth transition of..." (that is, "tácito" is mistaken for "táctico")
I am not sure whether the content of the Spanish page is correct, so I don't edit the English text now, just posting suggestions.

message: why is the Five page a redirect back to the main King Crimson page?
If you look at the history for the redirect page, there actually was a proper entry, until Feb 2016 when someone deleted the whole thing and replaced it with the useless redirect. If the page was incomplete, why not flesh it out more, add artwork, citations, reviews, background info, etc? I for one would like to find information about this period in King Crimson's history here in Wikipedia, and I'm left going to other sites to find it.

Talk:Battle of Buckhead Creek

message: A recent edit places scrutiny on the current estimate of Confederate casualties at Buck Head Creek.  It is apparent that the 600 number is an exaggeration that has been repeated in many sources without critical analysis.  However, there are several problems with the edit:  1. The edit appears to have been done by the author of the cite.  2.  I'm looking for some other verification of the claim that "Wheeler and his command reported no casualties for this battle."  Instead, in the O.R. SERIES I--VOLUME XLIV S# 92, pub. 1893, page 910) I find Wheeler reported "Our own loss about 70, including the gallant General Robertson, severely wounded" (the latter confirmed in Warner's Generals in Gray p. 261.)  3.  The 600 value isn't as claimed by the edit, it comes from Kilpatrick's report of Nov. 30, 1864.  It is Kilpatrick's estimate which of course makes it highly dubious since he was withdrawing and had no reasonable way to determine how much damage was inflicted.  4.  The edit is set up in argument format and should be made more encyclopedic (e.g. Kilpatrick claimed 600, Wheeler reported 70, etc.)  And the info box value should indicate the uncertainty in some fashion. Red Harvest (talk) 09:05, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The 600 number is at the end of a report about the entire expedition, Nov 24 to 28, including night time conflicts at Sylvan Grove and south of Waynesboro, so in fairness to Kilpatrick, it may have included more than just Buck Head Creek. It might still be on the high side but not as drastic. HWG311SB (talk) 22:11, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Qal'at Bani Hammad

message: ----
Since this is a World Heritage Site, I think this article should have an image. Nocturnal Wanderer 00:21, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

message: "Beni Hammad Fort" is a crude and not quite accurate translation of Qal'a(t) Bani Hammad. "Fort" usually implies a smaller fortification, not a citadel or capital city. The vast majority of English-language reliable sources refer to this site by its full Arabic transliteration, "Qal'at Bani Hammad" or "Qal'a Bani Hammad", or more rarely "Qal'at of the Bani Hammad" or one of those variants with "Beni" or "Banu" instead of "Bani", and so on. "Al Qal'a of Beni Hammad" is used by UNESCO, but like other UNESCO names it's more of a title than a common name.
So per both WP:COMMONNAME and WP:USEENGLISH, something like that would be the most appropriate name of the article. Authors vary on whether to write the "t" from the taa marbuta, but of the varying transliterations "Qal'at Bani Hammad" appears to be the most abundantly-used; e.g. see Google Books search results (but note that Google Books searches include repetitions, non-English books, and non-identical spellings in its results, so the results aren't worth much unless you take a closer look at the books themselves). "Beni Hammad Fort" is virtually non-existent in published sources; the only two examples I could find in a Google Books search are more peripheral sources from recent years that could have been influenced by Wikipedia itself. 
The name "Qal'at Bani Hammad" is the most common among reliable mainstream English publications, for example:
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
Others use the same spelling but without the "t", as mentioned, for example:
*
*
*
And so on.</br>
Since there is no basis for the current name in reliable sources to begin with, and since I expect there are few active editors with knowledge of this topic, I'm just going to do a WP:BOLD move. If there's an objection, then we can revert and go through an RM instead. R Prazeres (talk) 07:01, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
