Talk:Stephan Hanna Stephan

1945/6
The notice in the Gazette of 12 Sep 1946 cited by Irving reads "Appointments. Mr. S. H. Stephan, Assistant Librarian, De­partment of Antiquities, to be Archaeological Officer, with effect from the 1st April, 1945." It was common for the gazetting of appointments to trail well behind the dates of the appointments and all of the six appointments in this announcement are like that. So I'm changing 1945–1946 to 1945. I notice that three of these are in the Antiquities Department and all state 1st April 1945. Another one is wiki-useful: "Mr. Dimitri Baramki D.C. Baramki, Inspector, Department of Antiquities, to be Senior Archaeological officer, with effect from the 1st April, 1945.". Zerotalk 12:34, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

His age in the photo
. Did you get the photo from a place that says "Place and date unknown"? He certainly looks older than 23 to me (closer to 40). Also, the fez/tarboosh didn't go out of use in 1917 but persisted much longer. Look at this 1929 photo for example. The choice between tarboosh and kufiyya became a political statement during the 1936–1939 revolt but it didn't die out then either. We should have an article on this if there isn't one already.

Robert Lachmann etc.
Hello you might find the article on Robert Lachmann and the article quoted there by Davis, Ruth F. Ethnomusicology and Political Ideology in Mandatory Palestine: Robert Lachmann's "Oriental Music" Projects, in: Music & Politics 4, Number 2 (Summer 2010), p. 1–15. (with audio examples of Lachmann's radio programmes) interesting. - And is the radio station in Mandatory Palestine you mention the same as the Palestine Broadcasting Service? Then you could include this name and bluelink in your article on this fascinating person and career. - It contains very useful information for me, and hopefully for others, too. (Especially when it will be featured as DYK!) Munfarid1 (talk) 10:29, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks User:Munfarid1. Indeed it was the PBS the only radio station in Palestine at the time. I will add the wikilink to it. I don't really see the relevance of Lachmann to this article though. Tiamut (talk) 19:20, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
