Talk:The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death

message: There're a few seconds of hasty speech at the end of "Build" as the song fades out, buried too deep in the mix to be clearly heard.  I've never even been sure whether it's forward- or back-masked.  But it's there, as a sort of audio run-out-grrove message. Asat (talk) 23:05, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The introductory remark about tabloid controversy deserves sourcing and expansion. Given the Housemartins' northern English working class origins and the brashly political nature of their lyrics this claim seems quite credible, but it's hard to find textual references and difficult to evaluate without background knowledge of Thatcherism and other social context. I don't have the cultural knowledge or reading material to attempt the task, but it would be great if the article coul dbe fleshed out to examine the critical and social reception of the music.

thread_title: Hindu Topics

message: Hello all, thought I would contribute something to the discussions.
There is an excellent book "Who is a Hindu?" by Koenraad Elst, it is available online Who is a Hindu?.
Legal definition of Hindu (quote from book above):
'Article 25 (2)(b) of the Constitution stipulates that “the reference to Hindus shall be construed as including a reference to persons professing the Sikh, Jain or Buddhist religion”.1 The Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 goes in greater detail to define this “legal Hindu”, by stipulating in Section 2 that the Act applies: 
“(a) to any person who is a Hindu by religion in any of its forms and developments, including a Virashaiva, a Lingayat or a follower of the Brahmo, Prarthana or Arya Samaj, 
“(b) to any person who is a Buddhist, Jain or Sikh by religion, and 
“(c) to any other person domiciled in the territories to which this Act extends who is not a Muslim, Christian, Parsi or Jew by religion”.' 
(From chapter 3)
rmhermen: About your question regarding Buddhism and Hinduism, another quote from the above book,
'We must compare the Buddhist ethical ideal with the (identical) standard of Brahmanhood expected of the Brahman born; we must contrast the Buddhist monastic system with the Brahmanical orders; the doctrine of Anatta with the doctrine of Atman, and here we shall find identity.' 
(From chapter 10)
Comment- Hinduism could not have been derived from Hindi, half the Hindus do not have Hindi as the mother tongue.
Comment- If someone identifies himself with a sect, it does not mean he is not a part of a larger group. A student can belong to a class/grade, while he belongs to a school. 
Mkweise, when someone says "Hare Krsna", it is a given that he is a Hindu, it does not have to be mentioned separately.

:Hare Krishnas are DEFINATELY NOT Hindu. I've never met anyone who dislikes them more than those who are Hindu, particularly if they are pious. Krishnas twist and/or ignore everything they have come into contact with from the vedas, and are a classic cult (strict hierarchy, focus on $, isolation for family, focus on chanting, etc..). Sam Spade 02:41, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  I beg to disagree. As a citizen from a predominantly Hindu society, I can assert with full confidence that the Hare Krishna 'cult' is never termed 'Anti-Hindu' by members of the religion as you seem to suggest. This is not to apologise for the ills of the cult in any way, but as a pure factual point. Chancemill 11:04, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)
You are referring to the members of ISKCON, they are not the only ones who chant "Hare Krishna"; many Hindus do so when they pray.
And ISKCON teaches the Hindu bhakti philosophy.

Talk:Nestorianism

message: Available for free online is a PDF entitled "Truth Triumphant" written by historian Benjamin Wilkinson. Using a huge variety of source material, Wilkinson has done a superlative job in giving a detailed account of the church of the East, as well as the Celtic church, and the Waldensian churches among others. The history of the  Assyrian church of the East according to Wilkinson began with Papas in the third century... Not Nestorius. Chapter 9 is the key chapter regarding the topic in hand, but I can't recommend the whole book strongly enough. Brakelite (talk) 10:46, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

message: As part of the ongoing (!) rewrite of this page, I think that the joint declaration of 11 November 1994 between pope John Paul II and patriarch Mar Dinkha IV should have its own section (or subsection), as this seems to me a significant development of historical importance. It would, I think, nicely fit in a historical reading of how the concept of "Nestorianism" (or it's perception by non-Nestorians) has evolved and changed, especially in the 20th century (and not merely as an aside on how this or that term is "discourteous" to this or that group...).

thread_title: Modern christological declaration

message: The final sentence of the lede states "The Oxford English Dictionary defines Nestorianism as 'The doctrine of Nestorius, patriarch of Constantinople (appointed in 428), by which Christ is asserted to have had distinct human and divine persons'." (emphases added) Can anyone explain what is meant by "having distinct human and divine persons"? I suspect that the word "persons" is incorrect, and should be "personae". "Persons" is most commonly a term which refers to actual corporeal bodies. If the intent here is to say that Jesus "had distinct human and divine sets of characteristics, identities, qualities, etc.", then "personae" would be correct.

Talk:Trans-Europe Express (album)

message: To the anonymous user who's been vandalizing all the Kraftwerk album entries today by removing borders round right hand info-boxes (looks like hell now! all that text shoved up against the main body of the article, with hardly even any whitespace between it), 
can I just cry ahine?!
Moreover - conceeded that one wants to avoid over-the-top POV stuff in these articles, but no discussion of aesthetics can be entirely "objective", and moreover a large part of the reason why people read music articles will be to find out what others think of the music, ultimately boiling down to "is it any good or not?"...

: — Not quite. Or quite not. And FYI, my name isn't "Lol" ;-p ←<SUP>#6  </SUP>talk
Since 1975's Radio-Activity, Kraftwerk have always simultaneously released two versions of each of their albums: one sung largely in their native tongue of German, the other version sung mostly in English, for release in non-German speaking territories.
It is incorrect for the intro to say that the album was "orginally released in German as Trans-Europa Express...", as this means the German version was recorded and released first. In actual fact, both versions were recorded at the same sessions, and released simultaneously.
: — Granted (even though, for a short wikipedia:lead section, the finer points of "originally released" vs. "simultaneously released" aren't all that necessary). Still, the current wording is clunky. I plan to rewrite it, with an additional touch of "State The Obvious" (about Kraftwerk being a band, and a German one at that), and other changes justified below. ←<SUP>#6  </SUP>talk
As to VH1, purr-lease! This is an encylopedia primarily for objective information. Some daft "reader's poll" on some dubious satellite TV station is not an important objective fact about this album. ("56th best album of all time"?!? For a start, I don't believe that "time" has finished yet! And 56th?!? LOL Quite sure about that? I heard it was 53rd? ;-)
Moreover, TV stations and magazines run these silly polls all the time (usually to help fill up their output with easy-to-throw-together repeats of old material, rather than producing new stuff). Why is one particular VH1 poll so important that it needs to be at the top of the article, when no other polls are mentioned?
No, if this little piece of trivia needs mentioning at all, it belongs as a footnote, after the actual important factual info & discussion about the album itself has taken place.

: Kindly stop talking nonsense. If you so much as look at the page as it is rendered you'll see that it's centered. I reproduced this both in Mozilla and in Internet Explorer, just to make sure. So, why does that happen? Probably because the generated page source clearly does have align=center within the table element, and it does its job according to the fine manual. It's not often that someone provokes me with such trivial issues... --Shallot 22:40, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm using Opera and it's definitely not rendering as centred - the text within the box is centred but not the box itself. In Opera, the box is about 50% of the width of the content area, with the list of republics breaking across two lines immediately after Serbia. It renders quite differently in Internet Explorer, with the box extended across the entire content area and the text not breaking across lines. I think you have a browser compatibility issue here (as I understand it, Opera is much more standards-strict than IE). -- ChrisO 22:55, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm using Safari which *is* standards compliant, unlike IE, and using table align=center without the  tag does not center the box. In IE it is centered, but as I said IE isn't standards compliant, so whatever. And by the way, in Shallot's version, the table will never be centered, because it covers 100% of the width available for it, and it will always stretch to the edges. I fixed this in my latest edit, removing the 100% width. I also tested this width removal over Shallot's version, resulting in this temp page, to which box my standards compliant browser still does not show as centered. --Cantus 23:29, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

text:  The text within the box is centered because of the align attributes in the cell tags (again per specification). It's true that the table had width set to 100% in "my" version (that was there before me), I didn't notice that, but that's not actually the problem. Looking at the /temp version, the main reason why it was not centered is not lack of standards compliance, but that the CSS margin settings seemed to override the non-CSS table alignment :) I can't test this in IE right now, but it looks right in Mozilla and elinks. --Shallot 08:17, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
