Talk:Bob Lewis (musician)

message: Why does someone keep removing the fact that Lewis works as a paralegal? Please keep this information in the article. It is verified information, and it is certainly as relevant to who Bob Lewis is, as much as the fact that he wrote an article for a magazine 20-odd years ago (which remains in the article). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.83.64 (talk) 01:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lewis as paralegal 

message: I mean , seriously , isn't that like attaching Stuart Sutcliffe to every post 1962 Beatles release?
Bob's contributions to DEVO - as credited - appear to be:
(As writer): "The Rope Song" (with Gerald Casale )& "Be Stiff" (with Gerald Casale). Both appearing on the release "DEVO Hardcore Vol.2"
(As performer):"The Rope Song" (additional guitar) & "All Of Us" (additional guitar)- Both appearing on the release "DEVO Hardcore Vol.2"
No writing or performing credits post 1974.
"Be Stiff" has been released as a single , and  on a few compilations ,( He IS credited as a writer on said releases.) .. but does that warrant attaching the entire DEVO catalogue to him?
Credit where credit is due!

replies: text: Devo's entire catalogue should not be attached to Robert Lewis. Nor should this page's infobox attach to Lewis every musical style Devo 
subsequently used. Should the musical genre "new wave" be removed? The Devo music Lewis recorded and performed doesn't include new wave, does it?
Gerald says Robert Lewis was "folk-oriented" ref http://www.realclearlife.com/music/gerald-casale-takes-devo-seriously/. Could folk/protest music be listed as a personal preference, apart from his contribution to Devo music? 204.38.4.80 (talk) 20:57, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus

message: ive actually heard somewhere (i think shiono nanami) that decimus was the brutus in caesar's et tu brute, because he was actually mentioned in caesar's will as the second heir, if octavian refused, he would be caesar's heir. also i heard that marcuz brutus was not really close to caesar, but decimus was, having fought for him for many years.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.94.128.175 (talk) 03:28, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Decimus as Brutus in "Et tu Brute?" 

message: I agree with the comments made by the above user. Brutus is an important historical figure, and the distinction between fact and fiction needs to be established. Further, the content of the page is entirely suspect, such as the date "October 45". I am not an expert on the material, and it would be nice if someone who knew a little about this man would overhaul this article. Isopropyl 23:35, 20 March 2006

thread_title:  Attention 

message: After some persistent complaints by an editor it seems the issues of the title should be addressed here. First of all, I believe that the "Spouse" and "Relatives" sections of the infobox of Brutus ALbinus should be deleted entirely since the individuals therein either do not have specific articles of their own or only stubs – thus, of little immediate relevance. If a consensus for this is lacking, then at least the status of his supposed maternal uncle, Aulus Postumius Albinus, should be called into question.
The Aulus ALbinus who is called his adoptive father is listed as the cos. 99 BC, but Orosius (5.18.22) says he was killed in 89 BC, before Decimus's birth. There are apparently two other men of that name (Postumia gens#Postumii Albi et Albini) who could fill the adoptive role, with no indication anywhere (that I know of) of which is the one. Syme, for example, did not specify it, as far as I know. Furthermore, Syme's own suggestion that Decimus's mother was a Postumia is a well-grounded guess, not an indisputable fact; there have been scholarly arguments against it. Avis11 (talk) 21:03, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't mind adding his relatives in the infobox even if they're obscure, albeit with a query. He might have had three fathers (the official one: D. Junius Brutus, the adoptive one: A. Postumius Albinus, and the alleged one: Julius Caesar (!!)); I feel this is important to summarise there. The "Allegiance: Julius Caesar" is however weird considering he murdered him (it should be Caesar, then Liberatores), and the "Branch: Roman army and navy" is useless. T8612 (talk) 12:39, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. I'm unsure about putting Julius Caesar as possible father, but re-added Postumius ALbinus, not linking to any specific article since, again, there are at least two possible identifications. Avis11 (talk) 19:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Baba Budan

message: From the sources I have read, early commercial Arabica coffee cultivation was centered in Yemen with trade strictly controlled through the port of al-Makkha (Mocha). While the Kaffa region of modern day Ethiopia is thought to be the botanical origin for Coffea arabica, I have not come across any reference of a coffee trade in that area predating or contemporary to that of the early Arab trade. 
Stewart Lee Allen (The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History), Mark Pendergrast (Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World), and Antony Wild (Coffee: A Dark History) relate that legend attributes Baba Budan -- an Indian Sufi whose real name was Hazrat Shah Jamer Allah Mazarabi (Allen) -- with breaking the Arab monopoly over the coffee trade around 1600. Apparently, when on a pilgrimage to Mecca, he smuggled out seven live coffee beans, via Yemen (a transgression punishable by death at that time), back to India to plant in the mountains near Mysore. This is thought to be in the vicinity of Baba Budangiri where a Muslim and Hindu shrine is dedicated to him.

replies: text: I think I remember reading about this law sometime in the 1980s but can't provide a reference.

Dungate (talk) 14:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Concerning the Joke 

message: Is it fair to include him in categories created for non-heterosexuals? Despite the allegations, and the strong possibility that they are correct, it appears that he denounced homosexuality; as such, he could hardly identify as LGBT. Across Wikipedia, there is a very stringent policy in labelling people with these tags, particularly when the subject has not admitted to the accusations. Some articles, on whoms subject I would not be seen dead editing (public figures who are "celebrated" in the British media, ie. so-called "celebrities"), are widely known to "occasionally play for the opposite team." Some have half-admitted it, others have actually been caught on camera performing lude acts with same-sex dates, but unless they have spoken out and stated that they are gay/bi, there is no mention of it on their articles. Furthermore, plain old convictions are not enough for any editor to present the case scientifically as in "Thursday follows Wednesday" if the subject remains in denial. I propose to remove all elements stating that he was gay/bi, but am happy to keep the passages conveying his actual situations. Evlekis (talk) 14:16, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Pedro Zamora

message: Under Early life, Pedro Zamora's wikipedia article currently says, "His mother's death inspired him to become a doctor, but he replaced her presence in his life by becoming sexually active with many sexual partners. He was ignorant of safe sex, as the only AIDS education he received was in the seventh grade from a man who did not present the disease as a legitimate threat to him, but as something distant that only afflicted societal undesirables like prostitutes, drug addicts and homosexuals."
That is contradictory. Zamora was having sex with other males but didn't consider himself to be at risk because AIDS was only a threat to homosexuals?? Read another way, is this wikipedia article claiming that Zamora was having sex with females and not males? That's dubious because the next sentences say that Zamora is gay and was having gay relationships as a teenager.
At the very least, the  tag should be added. It should also be made clear that his "many sexual partners" were male (or female?), and the next sentence saying that he thought the AIDS risk didn't apply to him but only to homosexuals even though he was a homosexual should be deleted or changed.63.247.160.139 (talk) 09:01, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge 

message: This article contradicts itself. At the end of the first paragraph, it states:
When a company is insolvent, it means that it can no longer operate and is undergoing bankruptcy.
But then, right at the beginning of the next paragraph, I see a contradiction:
Solvency is a different concept from profitability, which refers to the ability to earn a profit. Businesses can be profitable without being solvent (e.g. when they are expanding rapidly)
That last sentence of what I quoted seems to fly in the face of the previously quoted. If a business is expanding, and thusly per the the article "profitable without being solvent," or insolvent, how can it, in terms of the typical majority case, be "no longer operational"  and "undergoing bankruptcy?"
I say the last sentence of the first paragraph needs to be deleted, or at least replaced with different, more accurate wording that synchs up with everything else. It's not consistent with the rest of the article. Either that, or it was a typo, or perhaps just phrased poorly, though what might have been intended, I can't possibly imagine. I'm not an economist, nor an economics student. If anyone thinks otherwise, please let me know. Ipso-De-Facto (talk) 03:06, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
