Talk:Anne of Geierstein

message: Wikipedia's "Wars of the Roses" article says that this novel gave the midieval dynastic wars between Lancaster and York wars the "Wars of the Roses" name, by which they are now known in all history books.  That should be worth mentioning.

thread_title:  Wars of the Roses 

message: Up until the 1800's opals were considered lucky.  Anne of Geierstein contributed to the myth that they were unlucky.  Part of this was due to a feud between Queen Victoria and Sir Walter Scott.  Nothing about the influence of this novel and the opal myth is mentioned on Wikipedia.  The book is basically unknown, but the opal myth is well known and the main influence of this book on western culture is based on the necklace in this book.    Wikipedia does mention a necklace, but does not even say what type of stone it was.
Also, I notice that it is categorized under American Literature when it should be under English Literature. I am not a literature scholar.  I am a recognized opal designer who hears the myths that have their origin in this novel almost daily.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rindab (talk • contribs) 18:11, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello. The connection with this novel is actually doubtful. I personally suspect the superstition was originally French, that it was due to a simple comparison of opals to tears, and that it passed to England around 1860. Xanthoxyl < 21:07, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

If the page numbers of the three volumes are 341, 346, 358, then why not either write Vol I 341, Vol II 346, Vol III 358, or alternately, sum the pages and give a total of 1,045?

Now, given that articles on that website are semi-locked behind a paywall that only lets you read for free up to 3 articles a month without a paid subscription, I don’t know if somehow this article could be worked out as a reliable source for updating the article’s Career section.

Talk:Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani

message: I am confused by this--I just read an article (or "stub") here on Ibn Hajar Asqalani, but the discussion page says the article does not exist.
Anyhow in the article itself this line appears:
"as the Mukhtasar of Ibn al-Hajib on usul." and "usul" is a link.  I think that the link is an error, as the definition of "usul" to which this links relates to Ottoman music or some such thing.  I do not think that that is the right referent for "usul" in this case.  (I think it relates to Islamic law, but I may be wrong.) 86.142.235.34 17:33, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is the Fath al-Bari of Ibn Rajb mentioned more extensivley here than ibn Hajr own Fath al-Bari? Sakhawi, a prominant student of ibn Hajr and his biographer, mentions that the naming of Fath al-Bari in spite of the previous usage of this was an oversight, as Ibn Hajr cited Ibn Rajab's work in his own. Ibn Rajab's work seems to have been completed to greater extent than mentioned as there exist remnants of the Book of Clothing in the Thahiriyyah Library in Damasus.

Talk:A Southern Maid

message: It would be interesting to know how long the Manchester opening was.  If it follows the pattern of Maid of the Mountains, it will have been for little more than to test audience reaction.  Changes would then be made as necessary before opening in London.  Since Maid of the Mountain was a record breaker, it is possible that Southern Maid was extensively delayed, hence the short runs elsewhere before finally opening properly in 1920.

Talk:Beast Wars: The Gathering

message: It occurs to me that with the second mini (The Ascending) having now been announced for later this year, that when it does come out it will probably be added here, as a second article is probably overkill. When it is, then I think the current title will be inaccurate as it will refer to more than just the Gathering.

:Cutaway view of a carnivorous Sarracenia (North American pitcher plant) flower with anatomical parts labeled. The flowers have an elaborate design which prevents self-pollination. They are generally located well above the pitcher traps to avoid the trapping of potential pollinators.
This wording makes it sound as though the actual flower is carnivorous, which it obviously is not. I would suggest rewording as follows:
:Cutaway view of the flower of a carnivorous Sarracenia (North American pitcher plant), with anatomical parts labeled. The flowers have an elaborate design which prevents self-pollination. They are generally located well above the pitcher traps to avoid the trapping of potential pollinators.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I edited out that phrase because it is not among his signature calls,which is defined as something he regularly calls in practically every game. He doesn’t call “Down Goes Anderson” practically every game. Howard Cosell made the original call in the Ali/Frazier fight in ‘74 when he exclaimed “DOWN GOES FRAZIER!” twice and never said it again. So if you put it back up,I’m only gonna take it down again. Because that’s not what constitutes a signature call. Thank you for your time. Smokiewight (talk) 01:01, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This one line went more viral and garnered more publicity than any of his regular lines have in 34 years.  Cosell only used "Down goes Frazier" once, but it's the line that is most associated with him.  Hamilton doesn't use "Down Goes Anderson" every game, but that one-time line got more buzz then his standard lines combined ever did. Vjmlhds (talk)  04:03, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No one ever said “DOWN GOES FRAZIER” was one of Cosell’s signature call. “DOWN GOES ANDERSON” isn’t Hamilton’s either. Just because it went viral doesn’t mean it’s a signature call.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Siberian language (2 nomination)

message: Note to closing administrator: User:Vladimir Volokhonsky attempted to vote-stack this AfD, by notifying people who voted delete in previous AfD. There is also announcement on Russian wikipedia, encouraging people to vote delete on this article.  Grue  18:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have to say that I want to strongly protest against the forthcoming deletion of this article. No matter how you count the votes, and no matter how you look at the arguments, in my opinion there is no other conclusion possible than no consensus. Look:
* If we include all votes: 32 keep, 33 delete, 2 abstain
* If we include all votes of users with at least 1 previous edit before the AfD started: 21 keep, 31 delete, 2 abstain
* If we include all votes of users with at least 50 previous edits before the AfD started: 15 keep, 26 delete
That doesn't even include the arguments used in by the people who votes. In fact, even if we disregard all the political crap about "Russian nazis" or "Siberian separatists", I still have to note that many of the "keep" voters had pretty good explanations for that, while among the "delete" voters there were a lot of completely non-arguments used.

thread_title: unrelated

message: I find that this article has an issue with citation in general, but I sadly don't know enough about sharks/shark resources to add anything beneficial. I do want to make at least a temporary adjustment to the statement about cerebrospinal fluid. Firstly, the combination of the words "special fluid" and cerebrospinal fluid being in quotations gives the impression that CSF is unique to these sharks... it is not. As far as I know, most vertebrates' brains float in the stuff, including humans. What seems to be unique is the type (that is, "CI-excess").  However, a very limited google search for "CI-excess" turned up a connection to bonnethead sharks -- on the 6th page of search results. I'm not saying the info is bad (at least one bonnethead shark website says "little is known about the cerebrospinal fluid", which is likely why it is so seemingly difficult to verify easily); but it does disturb me that a solid chunk of the results I found use the exact same wording as this Wikipedia article, and several of them seem to link to each other (and back to Wikipedia). Those that aren't word for word copies of this article rarely seem to use the term "CI-excess".   For now, I'm removing the reference to CI-excess until it can be vetted by someone who both knows more than I (not hard), and actually has the references to back it up (somewhat harder). 99.245.2.216 (talk) 01:36, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
