Talk:Blame It on the Bossa Nova

message: Re: "The bossa nova is a Brazilian music style which, with its associated dancing forms, had enjoyed a vogue in the U.S from the late 1950s."
What "associated dancing forms"? Certainly bossa nova was very popular in the early sixties, and this song would appear to be an attempt to capitalize on that popularity, but it doesn't seem actually to have had a clue about the form. The music in the song is not the slightest bit like bossa nova, and the lyric keeps harping about a bossa nova dance. People have no doubt danced to bossa nova, but as far as I know there is no dance called "bossa nova". It's telling that the 'bossa nova Wikipedia article mentions dance not at all. 
1) I'm going to delete the phrase "with its associated dancing forms" for now, and if someone can find a source clearly referencing bossa nova dancing forms it can go back with the citation. 
2) I'd like the article to say that "Blame it on the Bossa Nova" is not a bossa nova song (despite the title), but I don't have a source. If anyone can find one, please either edit the article accordingly or leave the source here. Thanks. TheScotch (talk) 10:00, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:The Good Girl (2004 film)

message: Is there still a "CC" version of this available?  The producer claims to have changed their license so they could (presumably) sell it to another company producing a "derived work" in a fashion that seems to serve as an insult to the Creative Commons.  If somebody has a copy while this thing was still licensed under the Creative Commons, please publish a link.  Otherwise, why should Erika Lust be able to undermine the very license which made her popular in the first place?  For shame.
: In creative commons author has the perfect right to stop to deliver the creative commons version of the work and switch to other license, but it doesn't change allready distributed works licence status. The clip can be found least from the p2p networks and because they are copies of orginal CC-licenced work they are also under CC. And if file have to be proven to be under CC i have directly from Lustfilms downloaded file also. The movie, (which part the good girl now is)  "5 sensual stories for her" is btw also from Erikas own company.  --Zache 04:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kitaa

message: As a Dane it is fairly strange to see this idea about the three Greenlandic counties. Greenland was (on paper) integrated into Denmark in 1950 "with the status of a Danish county (amt)", so in reality the whole country was an amt. Grønlands Amt was a term used for elections. The subdivision was into three landsdele (parts of the country, or divisions). This three county thing has spread across Wikipedia (outside the Danish wiki), but it does not seem to be sourced and is AFAIK a fiction.--Batmacumba (talk) 08:09, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There were also no elected councils for the three divisions (something you would have in a Danish county at the time). They served as units for statistical purposes and certain regulations were limited to 1-2 of the divisions, but they did not function as administrative unit per se, so the idea they had capitols is also strange. There were two adm. levels with elected bodies: Greenland with the Landsråd as the elected assembly and the municipalities.--Batmacumba (talk) 08:31, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

message: In a article of this type about a schooltype we need far more content that a scattering of descriptions of implementations. We need History of that school type, the Sociology of selective schools, their Philosophy and Psychology. We need stats and discussion of various systems.
This article from 2015, which sadly we probable can't defent as a WP:RS gives 11 well sourced paragraphs that could be used as starting points- and pointers to excellent references.
It is interesting to note that UK private schools do not select on ability but on the parents wealth! 
The whole issue of selective schools in the UK was addressed in forensic detail by the Crowther Report on 15-18 education in 1959.  and has been debated continuously ever since. The report is worth reading in full. (I haven't though as it is rather long 514 pages). Anyone up for the challenge? ClemRutter (talk) 17:53, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hungarian culture

message: John Lukacs has a very positive review of Bryan Cartledge's The Will to Survive: A History of Hungary in the December 2007 issue of Harper's. The book apparently covers cultural as well as policital history and Lukacs (a native Hungarian) seems very impressed with the Englishman's mastery of Hungarian language and literature. Not particularly my area, and I'm not likely to read the book in the near future which is exactly why I am passing this on, hoping that some Wikipedian more focused in this area will do so. - Jmabel | Talk 04:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:1789 English cricket season

message: This story has been removed from John Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset#British ambassador to France, where it was unsourced, because of John Major's version in his book, More Than A Game. Major dismisses the whole tale as nonsense. His argument is sound as it would be ridiculous for a British ambassador, who had officially told his people to leave the country, to arrange a cricket tour there a full month later when he was getting out himself.
I hesitate to alter this article for the moment because there are sources here placed by  (pinged). I think a discussion is needed before taking further action. Perhaps the section should be revised so that the two versions are given equal weight? No Great Shaker (talk) 13:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: If Major says that it's apocryphal then it would make sense to add that opinion to the short section of the article with a suitable reference. At the same time it's clearly one of those widely held beliefs, so is worth replacing in the article on Sackville with the same caveats. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:49, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I'll add the refs you found to Sackville. Personally, I think Major is right but, having said that, neither he nor the Guardian give any clues as to the origin of the story. A newspaper, perhaps, but it must have pervaded cricket's literature at some point and then stuck. If it's true, it would be interesting to speculate on how the team might have fared in France, ha!

Talk:Sydney Writers' Festival

message: I have just removed the following from the article, and wanted to explain why:
:In 2008 festival organisers prevented students from tbe University of Technology Sydney from distributing Festival News, a newspaper for the festival produced by journalism students. The organisers objected to content criticising the New South Wales government, a major sponsor of the event. Post script on the above issue concerning the Festival News: The Dean of UTS' Humanities faculty (of which the Journalism Program is a part) issued an apology for the controversy and said that no attempt was made by the festival to censor the publication. The apology could formerly be read on the festival website, but has since been removed. According to an article by UTS Head of Journalism Professor Wendy Bacon, university staff and student journalists had heard nothing of this apology before it went online. Professor Bacon maintained that "the words in the apology corresponded neither to the available documentary evidence or [the students'] own direct experience."
As I see it, the problems with the above are:
*It is largely tangential to the subject of the article, which is the Festival itself. The above content essentially claims that "a student newspaper, issued in one particular year and detailing some of the contributions to the Festival in that year only, was censored by an unrelated organisation because it contained unrelated criticism, although the unrelated organisation denies that the censorship occurred. Shortly afterward, someone posted on a blog with some more details." Fascinating stuff, but not really related to the Writers' Festival. If this should go anywhere, it should be in an article on "Festival News", or Wendy Bacon, or even UTS.
* It is unverified and not notable. the only reference is a blog post by Wendy Bacon and blogs, even fairly prominent ones like Crikey, are not reliable sources.
* It is undue weight to a minor controversy denied by the supposed villian of the piece. The removed material is as long as the entire article on the subject. If the article was ten screens long and included every piece of minutiae about every year's Festival, there might be a place for this here. As it is, it overwhelms the rest of the content.
Other opinions welcome. Euryalus (talk) 01:09, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sperry Cline

message: I added a citation for the statement that it was one of the most talked about trials of the era. The History Channel had a documentary on Gunanoot, written by Monty Basset and some of his comments can be read online:
"Standing on the other side of Gunanoot was Stewart Henderson, Canada’s top criminal defense lawyer. With Henderson at the helm, the case immediately became high-profile and Simon a cause célèbre, lionized as a superman who had survived in the harshest wilderness in North America. Stories ran in all of the provincial papers and even the Globe and Mail".
:If another citation needs to be found, I can probably dig up a few things, but certainly the case was high profile and widely talked about in BC and the story is still told today, (in about three or four different versions). But Basset's story brings up another point, outside of Gunanoot and Cline, how come we don't have an article of this Stuart or Stewart Henderson lawyer if he was the best defense lawyer in Canada in 1919? I've never been able to find much on him.CindyBo 18:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
