To anyone wishing to work on this page. I just created it, along with about 50 redirects to all the various tablets. Please be careful when arranging the layout of this page. And for God's sake don't move the page title.

For example, Lawh-i-Dunyá, Lawh-i-Dunya, and Tablet of the World all link to Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh#Lawh-i-Dunyá (Tablet of the World)

Diacritics

edit

Currently, Firefox 2.0.0.1 and Konqueror 3.4.3 on KDE 3.4.3 seem to have issues with displaying characters with combining discritical marks. Firefox will display the HTML entity-based "Ṭarázát" as a "T" without a subdot and an "a" with one. On the other hand, using the non-combining characters directly as in the "Insert" box found on Wikipedia's editing tool, it seems to show up properly in Firefox as "Ṭarázát." Konqueror simply shows boxes instead of the characters, although it does combine the marks with the respective previous characters.

Firefox combines the subdots with the following character and Konqueror with the preceding. Could someone please elaborate on which is correct? I have yet to test this behavior with other marks for lack of need. I will look further into this later, but, for now, I must return to other work. Xetrov 19:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

In my Firefox, "Ṭarázát" does appear with a T with a subdot. Generally though, you can surround a text with {{unicode}} for it to work in most browsers. Regards, -- Jeff3000 20:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Applying {{unicode}} does not seem to work in this case, e.g., "Ṭ" still displays incorrectly, but I will further play with this. Incidentally, on what system are you running Firefox, and what version of Firefox do you use? Thanks for the assistance. Xetrov 23:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1 on WinXP SP2, where I still see the dot under the T. I also, just tried Firefox 1.0.7 on Debian Linux and it works there, but Firefox 1.5 on Solaris 8 shows a T with a question mark beside it. I guess it's a font thing.

Title of Article

edit

Is there a reason the title of the article is not the entire title of the book, i.e., Tablets of Baha'u'llah Revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas? I know this is a rather long title for an encyclopedia article, but (1) once upon a time there was a publication Tablets of Baha'u'llah, and I suppose some day there may need to be an article about it; also (2) Tablets of Baha'u'llah makes a half-decent title for the subject "Writings of Baha'u'llah," since most of Baha'u'llah's works have the word tablet in them.

At the moment the title is "The Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh Revealed After the Kitáb-i-Aqdas". When I look here, it seems the title should be "Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh Revealed After the Kitáb-i-Aqdas", so without the first "The". Can I move the page there, or am I mistaken?

Fair use rationale for Image:Tabletsofbaha.jpg

edit
 

Image:Tabletsofbaha.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Baron Rosen

edit

I have, with grief, turned a blue link red. Baron Rosen is Roman Romanovich Rosen, a Russian diplomat. As the study referenced in the footnote makes clear, the man intended is Victor Romanovich Rosen, a Russian general and orientalist, for whom we have at this time no article.
