message: This page states that Zamenhof, was a Russian born on this date. He was born in Poland although at the time Poland was part of the Russian Empire. Should this be noted on this page, or is the link to the article about Zamenhof which includes this information suficient?

replies: text: Hi Silverclodhopper.  Generally speaking, the nationality listed with each entry represents the nationality to which that person aligns himself or herself to.  I visited Zamenhof's page and could not get a clear idea of which nationality he aligned himself to, but if indeed it was Polish and not Russian, feel free to change it on this page.  If this is just a technicality, it could go either way, though I would say to keep it at "Russian" since at the time, Zamehof's place of birth was considered to be Russia.

Talk:Rentboy

message: The second paragraph is a little muddy (and may be unnecessary). It refers to the Cleveland Street Scandal in a rather reverse manner. In addition, the adverbial phrase "as were many aristocrats of the time" is rather dangling, without a clear object. (Apparently it is intended to refer to "threatened").
The paragraph in question begins:
"The solicitor of Lord Arthur Somerset threatened to implicate Prince Albert Victor in an 1889 scandal involving a rentboy brothel in Cleveland Street (see Cleveland Street Scandal), as were many aristocrats of the time. ..."
THe second paragraph needs to be taken out or relocated. A 100 year plus old reference would be more appropriate if it were an antiquated term.
The second paragraph is also directly contradicted in the article on Prince Albert VictorFat Red 02:31, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The episode lists show eps 5-9 as unaired. Unaired in the U.S. only or unaired everywhere? (US and UK) Were those episodes completed?
:If episodes were "ordered", that generally means they were completed. For instance, 14 episodes of Firefly were "ordered", but only 11 were aired; yet there exists also at least one script for Firefly that was completed but never shot thanks to the cancellation. Fans and the creator alike do not treat episode 15 as existing in any real sense, so I'm assuming that "completed" means "filmed" and that "ordered" means "ordered completed e.g filmed", at least in America. I do not know if they were unaired everywhere, though. Runa27 07:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Johan Bernhard Hjort

message: Moved here from main article:
Who wrote the above? I disagree with most of it. (1) Yes, Johan Bernhard Hjort (1895-1969) was a member of the (perfectly legal) Nasjonal Samling party from 1933 to 1937, when he broke with Quisling. (2) He was arrested by Gestapo in 1941 and sent to Germany, where he after leaving prison carried out important resistance work, contributing to the saving of many Scandinavian lives. (3) After the war he fought for the artistic freedom of controversial artists and for the natural legal rights of homosexuals. (4) "Riksmålsforeningen" was not right-wing in any political sense of the word, and they did not at all oppose "nynorsk", which, incidentally, does not make any claim of being "the real national language". Hjort's fight was for free evolution of the Norwegian language, as opposed to state-controlled artificial restrictions on its use.(5) Hjort was neither nazi nor particularly anti-national. (6) Being "nazi and anti-national" is not a common combination in our time. -- See e.g. Ivo de Figueiredo's 2002 biography on Johan Bernhard Hjort, "Free man". >>
It seems that in this article, Hjort gets away scot free on his anti-semitic attitudes and his status as a founding member of NS second only to Quisling himself. Hjort was hirdleader! Be aware that Quisling called Hjort's group as representing a dangerous right-wing branch of national socialism, either from opinion or propaganda.  Fallout from NS with Ragnarok magazine was partly due to Ragnarok circle's 'militant anti-christianism'. Hero-worship this bloke all you want, it doesn't change that there were homosexuals among the racist brownshirts, nor does it change that he had some despicable remarks on jews, the soviet "race" and nynorsk users. It's also odd how norges-lexi casually mentions his ties to German national socialism as brother in law (through his sisters) of two national socialist ideologists. You would think a politically acceptable democrat and minority-champion would be ostracised from such a family. Hjort argued for bookburnings of samnorsk-books while he led riksmålsforbundet. --Krekling (talk) 21:48, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

A lot of critical work has been done on Pearl, so I've added for the most part only book-length studies of some note, though the articles by Wellek and D. W. Robertson I've also included, as they're somewhat exemplary pieces by quite well-known scholars and easily available in reprint.  I know the formatting is probably very wrong for this site, but I need to go to sleep so hopefully someone else can work that out for me.

replies: text: Don't have time to poke around in the MOS right now, but my understanding is that it's better to keep the same tense in a paragraph, which makes for easier reading. Metacritic's tense can go either way (it was then and it might be now)—the site really judged critical consensus at the time and it's not like the page is actively changing.
