Talk:David Dean Shulman

Disambiguate
We have another David Shulman, a philologist I think. Perhaps we need a disambiguation thingamijig?Nishidani (talk) 23:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * ✅ - I've added dab hatnotes to both pages, the recommended method of dealing with two articles of the same name. If a third David Shulman were to appear, then a separate disambiguation page would be necessary. NSH001 (talk) 19:23, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Eyes pealed for
Scholarly reviews by Shulman's colleagues on his various books and articles. This should constitute the larger part of the page, since that is where most of his activity has taken place.Nishidani (talk) 16:56, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Possibly-ambiguous phrase in lead
In the lead paragraph: "... books on various subjects ranging from temple myths, temple poems to essays that cover ...". Although I have attempted to repair this somewhat ungrammatical construction by replacing the comma with "and", I'm only about ninety percent sure that that's the meaning that was intended: My guess is that "temple myths" is part of what the books are ranging from &mdash; (temple myths and temple poems) to (essays that cover...) &mdash; but it seems slightly possible that the construction was an awkward attempt to somehow further explicate "temple myths". (Ordinarily I wouldn't even consider that a possibility, but in this case the construct is already known to be an awkward attempt at something, so why not an awkward attempt at something other than the most obvious.) --Pi zero (talk) 10:56, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Neve Gordon and David Dean Shulman from Counterpunch
CounterPunch is deprecated, but exceptions are allowed. Amigao expunges at sight a CounterPunch article co-authored by Neve Gordon and David Dean Shulman, leading scholars in their field. The source is Ehud Krinis, David Shulman and Neve Gordon, ‘Facing an Imminent Threat of Expulsion,’ CounterPunch June 22, 2007.ed by Neve Gordon and David Dean Shulman are leading scholars in their field. Shulman in particular, aside from being one of the foremost experts on Southern Indian languages, has written 2 books on the topic referred to, and has continued to spend every Sabbath among the peoples of South Hebron, whose language he has mastered ande history he knows with unparalleled intimacy. He is literally the best reporting scholar in this area. Excluding such quality sources on abstract grounds without considering the status of the authors in their field makes no sense encyclopedically. And to rebuff the use on Shulan's own wikibio of work he has (co)-authored is bizarre. Nishidani (talk) 16:19, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

EI is depreciated, I think an exception as ABOUTSELF is appropriate here
We should probably keep it here as ABOUTSELF unless someone disagrees, but it is technically RFC: Electronic Intifada, so… FortunateSons (talk) 11:47, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
