Talk:Index of political parties

message: I filled this page with the parties last year. It helped to get a comprehensive set of articles on political parties. But to update it frequently remains very much work. Therefore I changed the page to a redirect to the list of political parties, the version that only included links to list of parties by country. It is less work to keep the lists updated in this way.

message: This has a picture of the poster for the documentary movie of the same name (needs a caption if it's staying), but then it's about the cassette tapes? Also bits in the Reception section are really about release information.  Also biographical information is used, which makes it read like a biography for bits. I think there is possibly enough information on Peter and Raymond to create a separate biography page. There could also be a separate article on the film (which I just watched tonight and was very good.)
This would work better if it started with a background section I think, and some mention of the tape trading network of the 90s that made the phenomena possible. I'm going to move the picture to the section on the film for now.Kaleeyed (talk) 20:01, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Barr body

message: I see the benefit of merging the Xist discussion with this article, especially due to its stub nature. However, I'm wondering if 'Barr body' is still the best title for this article. The discussion of the mechanism, including the role of Xist has removed the discussion to a more general consideration of the role X-inactivation plays, whereas the Barr Body is the result of this process. The merging of the Xist article will further exaggerate this effect. I am wondering if the re-titling of the article, with the addition of more substructure, (ie. Separating the Barr Body itself, the mechanism, and the mosaic effects of X-inactivation) may make more sense.--JamesGlover 00:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: * I added the character to  WP:HORROR as the main program (Charmed) was already added to the project. I am assuming the show was added as it deals with supernatural storylines and demonic and witch characters (in the same way that Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the characters from that show are added to the WP). I can remove it from the WP if you feel it is necessary. Aoba47 (talk) 20:48, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: * Not really. I could see the early seasons of the show being described as horror (it did receive two International Horror Guild Awards), but I would classify it more as a supernatural program and I am not sure where that falls in relation to the horror genre. The show is also more lighthearted and comedic (especially with this character and seasons) so that's why I am also uncertain about it belong to the WP. Aoba47 (talk) 16:27, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. To make things simple, I like going with Kim Newman's idea on how to decide if something belongs to horror, as he suggests that horror fiction suggests "a world that is scarier or where more bad things happen than you would normally expect". If you think that's appropriate, then let's go for it. If not, then maybe drop the project. Thanks for taking the time to discuss this too btw. :) It is appreciated.Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:39, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

text: *Thank you for the comment. That is a very good definition to use when assessing these kinds of situations. I think the more comedic nature of the character does not fit the idea of "scary" (even though she was a demon). Aoba47 (talk) 02:04, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

message: I wonder how many of these toponyms have sound etymologies. A problem may be that many of these towns were named after a person, and an ancient Indo-European people's stock of anthroponyms is notorious for having loans and pre-IE names, pre-IE names being almost impossible to crack without more evidence.

Obviously one of these, from different sources, has to be wrong, unless they refer to different periods (years) or other circumstances. In fact, the seasonal climate would be a very good reason for nighttime celebration, especially including energetic dancing.
