Aïcha

"Aïcha" (عائشة,, ; عايشة) is a song written by French singer-songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman, performed by Algerian raï artist Khaled. In 1996, the song was released as a single containing two versions: a French version and a bilingual version sung in both French and Arabic. The Arabic lyrics were written by Khaled. On his 1996 album Sahra, the bilingual version is featured. The song's music video, which also uses the mixed language version, was directed by Sarah Moon.

Lyrics / theme
The song's lyrics are about a woman named Aïcha, who is being wooed by a man. He promises her pearls, jewels, poems, and other luxuries and romantic things, which she declines.

The lyrics were all in French, as well as an Arabic verse sung by Khaled.

Talk:Koca Sinan Pasha

POV
This paragraph strikes me as extremely POV, and I've accordingly removed it (except the note about leaving a large fortune):

''Bold, overbearing and unscrupulous, Sinan recoiled from no baseness to put a rival out of the way; while his insolence was not confined to foreign ambassadors, but was exercised towards his opponents in the sultans presence. He had a barbarous hatred not only for Christians but for all civilization. The immense fortune which he left is a proof of his rapacity.''

He very well may have been greedy, barbrous, unscrupulous, insolent, etc., but I think we ought to cite specific evidence (or at least a more neutral source) before including those judgments in the article. Did everyone hate this man so, or only the Christian editors of 1911? --Dvyost 16:44, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

hello...
guys...There is information about the wrong name....Karamanlı Sinan Paşa not albanian people...karaman old turk state and dynasty... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karamanids

Sinan Pasha maybe birthplace of Albania...But he not albanian :)

This is only an example...spolia re-employed many of the Ottoman...but not all :)

Sorry bad english...:) Translate :) 78.183.33.213 (talk) 01:03, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

"The previous version is faulty with false conclusions"?
Zoupan Explain why according to you "The previous version is faulty with false conclusions"? Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:09, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Because the conclusions made are not mirroring those reliably sourced. You either use the sources, or not.--Z oupan 22:04, 12 January 2017 (UTC)  Blocked sock:Ajdebre.
 * First of all you have three revisions not me so only you have edit warred until now. Koca Sinan Pasha was of Albanian origin.

 * Since there are no sources to put his origin on question then we do not need " elaboration on the matter ". The stable version is that before you changed half of article. WP:I don't like it is not an argument. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:17, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

– I request that the video game be moved back to its former location, as it is clearly primary for the capitalized version of the phrase and is the only thing that is not a WP:PTM with any major views. The other similarly named articles are only adaptations. It is not primary for the uncapitalized version due to the various forms of sea life also called "blue dragon", but WP:DIFFCAPS specifies that capitalized and uncapitalized titles can coexist without requiring disambiguation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:41, 9 June 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Blue Dragon (video game) → Blue Dragon
 * Blue Dragon → Blue dragon
 * I'm inclined to oppose. Various of the topics listed on the dab are often capitalized, and both page views and wikinav don't really support any claim of a primary topic. older ≠ wiser 11:59, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose While those of us in video games know this is a popular favorite, its relative importance to the rest of the world is trivial, and given all the other possible Blue Dragon hits (with that capitalization), I can't see how the game could be taken as the primary topic for "Blue Dragon". I do agree that the disambiguation page should be moved to the sentence case, but that should leave a redirect behind since again, there is no singular primary topic for the caps version "Blue Dragon". --M asem (t) 12:28, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose as disambiguation page is superior to smalldiff disambuation in case like this, as Masem and Bkonrad both explain above. Dicklyon (talk) 01:44, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose regardless of the capitalization of the disambiguation page, this is not the primary topic. So while the disambiguation page can flip back and forth, this videogame will stay here. -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 05:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. No primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
