message: :His last words were recorded as: "I am fond of them, of the inferior beings of the abyss, of those who are full of longing".
Okay, this I have never heard before. Any references? And what the heck does "inferior beings of the abyss" refer to? -- CYD
I got this info from a book called "Famous Last Words" by Jonathan Green.  After you raised the query I checked on the web and found a site giving the same info.  Of course that doesn't make it true necessarily.  And as to what "the inferior beings of the abyss" means, search me.  JackofOz 23:02, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: This article should be allowed to exist because it is about a private military company, it is categorized as such.  Look at the other articles in this category to see what this article will become.
It fits the following requirements
General notability guideline
A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
* "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but less than exclusive.1
* "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject are a good test for notability.2
* "Sources,"3 defined on Wikipedia as secondary sources, provide the most objective evidence of notability. The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally preferred.4
* "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject including: self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, etc.5

This song by Motorhead the band, is a direct cover of the Hawkwind song, and both were written by Lemmy; the Hawkwind one directly before he left Hawkwind to start Motorhead. I feel like these are all essential information about this song that should be featured in the article. Right now it reads like some of the most obvious and well known facts about the song are ommitted for unclear reasons. RagingR2 (talk) 07:44, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Partial list of DJs

message: When I was a DJ in 1972 and back as far as when I was a freshman in 1968, KMSM/KUMR/KMNR was located in the North end of the Old Cafeteria which was a stucco building next to Harris Hall.  The south end was a music room where the marching band practiced.  There must have been good acoustic insulation because we never heard them practice over the teletype.  I am not sure where T6 was but the picture looks like the old power plant.  By the way, for a few months we were KUMR while the public radio station was waiting to take our frequency and call sign on 88.5.  At that time we had an ERP of 300 million micro-watts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎130.76.96.152 (talk) 21:14, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

message: The name "History of heat" for this article is quite bizarre.  It sounds like it would tell us that, according to Homer, the world was quite cold and damp until the Greek general Thermos and his soldiers founded heat in 1253 BCE in central Italy, after the end of the Trojan war; and how heat eventually developed into a major Fiery Empire that burned half of Europe, reaching its maximum temperature under the Second Phlogiston Dynasty, before being quenched by the hordes of Adiabat the Hvac. Seriously, please turn this article into an "Antiquity and Middle Ages" section of History of thermodynamics, or rename it "History of heat technology".

Talk:Richard Wagner/Archive 6

message: 1. You translate the Title of Wagner's Book "Das Judenthum in der Musik" as "Judaism in Music". This is misleading. 
The word "Judenthum" (modern german: Judentum) could refer to either religio or natio. In this case the second meaning is clearly intended. Your translation "Judaism in Music" carries the sense of 'Jewish religious elements in Music'. In contrast, Wagner was referring to Jewish cultural elements in music, i.e. some collection of characteristics Wagner believed to have identified as commonly applied by Jewish performers, conductors, composers, etc. 
An alternative translation to convey this meaning might be 'Jewish Elements in Music'. That title, however, still misses the faint note of derision inherent in the German title. To capture this element as well my final suggestion would be "Jewishness in Music".
: [The above message was posted by anon IP 84.167.219.160 @ 03:26 (UTC) on 11 Jun 2005]
I disagree.  "Judaism in Music" is a far more commonly found translation than "Jewry in Music," which seems to me in any case to be hardly an improvement.  I'm for restoring the original title.  (68.198.181.134 08:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
