Object

  1. Hey:
    • "was not widely known, with later historians unaware" Unaware that the poisoners were involved at all? Either way, I'd suggest changing it to something like "with later historians unaware of their involvement" or "with later historians unaware of the extent of their involvement", whichever fits better.
      • Should be good.
    • Also, and keep in mind that this is merely a suggestion, as I was unable to gain a unanimous consensus on IRC, I think it'd be better if you changed "jihad" to something else. Nothing about race, or the connotations attached with it nowadays, I just think it sounds weird here. Chack Jadson (Talk) 00:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
      • If I can just dip my fly in this ointment for a sec, "jihad" is the actual word used in the source. Thefourdotelipsis 07:24, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
      • Having read the IRC logs, I see you're where you're coming from, Chack (and the others who agreed with your position), but I disagree. Like 4dot pointed out, jihad's used in the source and if it wasn't I probably wouldn't have used it, and as jSarek and Graestan said in IRC it's an acceptably used term in the English language. I don't really see the problem, as these crusades were jihads, even if they weren't Muslim ones. If and when someone gets offended or worked up about it or whatever, we can deal with it, but I don't see any compelling reason not to include it. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 20:04, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
