Talk:Rob Moore (politician)

message: The bots didn't like relying on an official NDP press release blog at blogspot for content of Moore's letter to the Moncton Times-Transcript defending Michael Sona and denying actions by Sona that were reported in many major media outlets.  The letter appears to amazingly have been sanitized  or lost despite every other article appearing at web.archive.org.  The original link also doesn't resolve nor searches for this letter.  This leaves the NDP press release as the most reliable source for it's content, which seems fair despite the source's hostility as the original seems to have been "cleansed" to avoid associating Rob Moore with Michael Sona.  All extremely interesting, but, if you can find a copy of the original Rob Moore letter to the Moncton Times Transcript. please add the link.
The official NDP blog seems to be the only source for Darryl Pitrie's comments on the matter during that election so there may be other stories reporting this that are now hard to find.
If someone wants to dig up micro-fiche images that may be the only way to find this story's original sources.  But there is no reason to doubt the quotes as they jibe perfectly with the major media sources.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.142.57.88 (talk) 15:53, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Kiss Me (Sixpence None the Richer song)

message: Improvised Star Trek has released a Klingon version of this song (link). The song has received publicity from sites such as MTV Geek!, The Mary Sue and Gizmodo France. As a big Klingon fan I don't feel I'm objective enough to decide if this is notable enough for a mention in the covers section, so I figure I'll leave it here for others to decide. --Tesseraktik (talk) 20:02, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Klingon cover version 

message: I have searched for proof of the existence of a cover by Avril Lavigne, but found none convincing. Of course, you can find a lot of youtube videos, but they all are hoaxes, reusing the Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me acoustic version. I compared the musical footprint and they are exactly the same.
So if you get the urge to had back the cover, please cite a good reference.

Talk:Rob Parker (sports journalist)

message: Robert Griffin III controversy
On December 13, 2012, Rob Parker made certain statements regarding Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III. The first edit I noticed about this was good, I edited it more to more fully explain how the subject came up on ESPN's First Take, what Rob Parker said, and how others on the show reacted. I'm not sure why someone edited it down to a much more compact explanation. Its my belief that this will be a a widely search topic, and a thorough explanation of what Parker said will avoid confusion or questions.Planeis (talk) 03:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comma in title 

message: In the very early 1980s there was a short-lived brand of crisp-type snacks called "Farmer Browns". The advert (easy to google) had his animals all singing "Famer Brown you've got a munchy snack there, lots of animal shapes like me and you." This song is a bit before my time so I'd never realised that the advert jingle appears to be a parody of it. Paulturtle (talk) 02:32, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Have there been any Dr. Who fiction works or radio plays since 2007? He has published 5 short story collections since then, many of which won awards, and written non-fiction books on popular SF TV series (Who and X-files AFAIK) so if there is no objection, i will change the lead to reflect this.

Talk:Samuel Martin (politician)

message: Based solely on the dates in Leigh Rayment's peerage pages, it appears that Samuel Martin the Privy Counsellor was the same person as the Pontefract MP.
http://www.leighrayment.com/commons/Pcommons2.htm : Samuel Martin (died 9 Jan 1883) MP for Pontefract 1847–1851
http://www.leighrayment.com/pcouncil/pcouncil2.htm : Sir Samuel Martin (1801 – 9 Jan 1883) appointed a Privy Counsellor on 2 Feb 1874
I take the coincidence of dates of death as high odds that they were the same person, but I can't be sure. In particular, it seems odd that a former MP should be appointed a Privy Counsellor more than 20 years after leaving Parliament, unless he had held some other office, such as a colonial governorship. --BrownHairedGirl (talk)  • (contribs) 10:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Drug, Hospital, and Health Care Employees Union

message: This entry should probably appear under 1199, not as Drug, Hospital, and Health Care Employees Union as the name of the National Union that was (and is) widely used was "1199."  Further, 1199 was initially a local of a another union (I think it was called the Retail Workers Union, RWU).  I made a few changes:  I created a link for 1199... though this then redirects to the year.  There should probably be a disambiguation page, or something.  (Sorry... did I mention I'm new at this.)  I also added the part about 1199 becoming a national union, and I clarified that all of 1199 did not join SEIU, but that 1199B in Philly (and I think a local in New Mexico... but I'm not sure) actually joined AFSCME.  I also removed the line about SEIU's progressive past not because I dispute it(quite the contrary), but because it's a pretty bold statement to go uncited.  I am planning on digging out some books on SEIU so I can create an actual real entry, but any feed back here would be great.  (Also... I don't know if this matters, but in the interest of full disclosure I work for 1199 West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, though they certainly aren't paying me for this entry.)

Talk:Don't Take the Girl

message: I query the evidence of this claim:
"There is however an alternative interpretation that believes that the girl was kidnapped  in the first verse of the song. They believe that the girl is experiencing stockholm syndrome, and the song is a commentary on kidnappings."
"They" who? Where is this alternative interpretation stated?
No references or citations were given for this claim. A passive online search for the song title plus "meaning" and "Stockholm Syndrome" came back with no results. Therefore, it is removed until evidence is provided.
One's own personal theory about a song's that goes against the stated intent of the lyricist does not warrant a mention here. Tbonequeen79 (talk) 16:42, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: The Billy Rose "That Night in Araby" is properly described as a separate song, inspired by the same film, that has some melodic relationships to "The Sheik of Araby". My music informant tells me that the first three sung notes are identical, and several musical phrases parallel the earlier melody by inversion, specifically making several steps up or down in pitch, on the same beats where the original made them in the opposite direction of pitch.   "Double negative" describes an error in standard English; this is an example of "negative concord", a norm of African American Vernacular English.--Jerzy•t 10:55, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Note that the cover of the sheet music displayed as the image portion of the video cites the film, stars, and studio.    It would be good to document what that suggests: the studio either saw an opportunity to turn some profit on sheet music and records, or sought to counteract the image damage sustained by association with the apparently completely unauthorized "Sheik of Araby" and its risqué but apparently widely associated "w/o no pants on" inter-phrase wording.
