You missed the point i think. In Akbar's reign people of Hindoo race were forced to wear yellow patches or in local language "tukda" for easy identification. Hitler's reign had the same thing happen to jewish community. No claim is made one influenced the other rather just pointed out the similarity of treatment of Hindoos and Jews. There is nothing original research here.

Two facts: 1) Akbar's realm had targeting of individuals by making them wear a small cloth piece.

2) Nazis had a similar thing done in there realm.

Why can't both things be said in the same article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by More random musing (talk • contribs) 09:58, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

If you read the source it is clear that Hindoo race was made to wear a patch on their clothes so that they could be identified. Same was the requirement on Jewish race when they were asked to wear a patch so that they could be identified by the nazis. Just identical facts from two different times. This is not in realm of original research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by More random musing (talk • contribs) 11:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

hyenas

I do not understand your assertion. The word Persecution is widely used in describing endangered animals. Using hyenas as baiting animals or hunting them by roping them out of their dens is not extermination.Dark hyena (talk) 15:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Doug Hanks

A tag has been placed on Doug Hanks requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Truthanado (talk) 04:16, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Right, and farming quotes to push an obvious agenda isn't. And using sources very selectively to push an agenda isn't. Chedorlaomer (talk) 19:40, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me? No framing quotes. Copying from the book gven in citations. Please stop your vandalism. Consider this your last warning. Thanks.
