Talk:Marinos of Tyre

message: This is the version of Wikipedia in English, however the article is in Greek. Can we have a translation please? --Dumbo1 00:58, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Translation

message: I don't have the time to figure out all of this, but I'll put the original in here on the talk page and change what few sentances are simple enough to figure out on the main page.
For reference, the original was:
Ο Μαρίνος από την Τύρο (περί το 170 - 250 μ.Χ.) ήταν Έλληνας γεωγράφος και χαρτογράφος από την Τύρο. Θεωρείται ως ο θεμελιωτής της μαθηματικής γεωγραφίας, περιγράφοντας με μεγαλύτερη σαφήνεια από όλους τους παλαιότερους γεωγράφους τη βόρεια Ευρώπη, υποστηρίζοντας το μεσημβρινό των Μακάρων ως αφετηρία για τη μέτρηση των μηκών, προηγούμενος έτσι του Πτολεμαίου Κλαύδιου, συντάσσοντας γεωγραφικούς πίνακες. Ο Πτολεμαίος τον περιλαμβάνει στη Γεωγραφική του Υφήγηση, αναφέροντας τα Περί Μαρίνου γεωγραφικής υφηγήσεως, Διόρθωσις του πλάτους εγνωσμένης γης διαστάσεως από των φαινομένων και διόρθωσις από των διανύσεων των κατά τας οδοιπορίας και ... των κατά πλουν διανύσεων.

thread_title:  machine translation 

message: There are to be 2 article, Marinos of Tyre  and Marinus of Tyre . Marinos is likely to be the Greek Spelling and Marinus the Latin. Both have scholarly references to support them. Since the individual is neither Greek nor Roman but Syrian, I suggest we go with the most commonly used and mention both spellings in the article. The Google search for the 2 spellings as a full text string are as follows:-
:"Marinos of Tyre" = 979
:"Marinus of Tyre" = 3780
*Note also that Britannica, both the modern version   and the 1911  use Marinus .
*The Columbia Encyclopedia  also uses Marinus.
I propose that Marinus of Tyre be the merged article. Lumos3 (talk) 11:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Pricing in wikipedia articles?

message: The section on NTSC does an easter-egg link to three-two pull down, where the the link and mention here in this article act like it would be a link to how a telecide aka film-out from NTSC to film is performed in order to convert 59.94 original fields into 24 film frames, as that problem is what the entire content of that section here is dedicated to, whereupon it acts like the answer to that problem would then be found at the linked article. However, the article three-two pull down is decidedly *NOT* about film-out in the Video section, but about telecine only, i. e. turning film into video. The only section there that actually deals with film-out is the Audio section, and only by describing that the audio needs to be slowed down. As such, I'm making the case the link is to the wrong article. --80.140.178.237 (talk) 22:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Pauline (Nintendo character)

message: ok pauline is a womans namne and is most likely to be a mom
At the moment, the article has a picture of Pauline posted with a description identifying it as Pauline from the "Saturday Morning Supercade" cartoons. Is this accurate? I'm inclined to say no, as the same image appeared in Nintendo Power's Mario Mania players guide for Pauline's video game persona. And I wouldn't think Nintendo would use the image from the cartoons, on account of it being less official. Kidicarus222 01:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's definitely from the old cartoons. Nintendo never did any official character artwork for the original Donkey Kong when they released it, outside of the cabinet's artwork and the Famicom version's cover art. The illustration (regardless of whether it came from Mario Mania or not) looks completely different to any artwork they did back then and is much closer to Pauline's Supercade design than any other incarnation of the character (in-game or otherwise). It has a very distinct western art style if you will. Most likely, NoA had no illustration available for Pauline when they made the guide, so they used one from the show.

thread_title:  Linking directly to gamefaqs guides 

message: Pauline is almost certainly named after the very popular, and often parodied, The Perils of Pauline silent movie serial in which the title character is always a damsel-in-distress. Pauline's hair and costuming from the original Donkey Kong sprite design appear to match this period. Promotional art is more modern in style, reminiscent of Fay Wray's costuming in King Kong.

Template talk:Timeline of classical music of the United Kingdom

message: Er, strangely I got carried away with the non-classical stuff. I was just trying to provide context.
So, what's needed is:
*More composers.
*Composers to be colour coded according to type of composition.
*Less anglo-centric context (events, heads of state).
*And for people who know more than I do (not difficult) to suggest stuff. --bodnotbod 01:56, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Lázaro Cárdenas

message: In Enrique Krauze's "Biografía del Poder" there are many mentions to his wife and the mystic that sorrounded him among the working people in Mexico. One such reference that left me particularly interested was that to this day, some people in Michoacan, Guerrero and other areas benefited by his expropiations have shrines in their houses dedicated to Cárdenas, and, according to Krauze, this is done with the belief that the spirit of 'Tata' still watches over the poor and needed. I think this will give a great value to the article, but I tought I'd ask first in the discussion, because I don't mean to write it if it's up for deletion.
Speaking of... the mate above should at least sign his name if he's coming with such a harsh proposal as deletion, not to mention that, as said by Lavintzin, most of what's written is of rather common knowledge. About the rewrite (sign your posts mate!) I could do that, no problem, just give me a couple days... and let me know what y'think about what I asked above. Vicius 03:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There have been a number of politically-motivated changes to this article that were put in shortly after Axios announced on 10/30/2018 Trump's plan for an executive order affecting this case, before someone was able to lock the article.

message: During what period was the original (wooden) gavel used? Am I to understand that the the Indian VP gave us one, which broke soon afterward and was replaced by the Indian Senate? If so, what years? Which one cracked in 1954?
The article and the info on the Senate website do not seem to match.
:There was never a wooden gavel. The original was made of ivory, and presumed in use in 1789. The replacement given to the Senate by Indian in 1954 was also made of ivory. The original broke in 1954, requiring the replacement.

thread_title: Question?

message: I know well that nothing is more subjectively biased than sub genre definitions, but for me the featured music demo is clearly progressive house, which is even more funny because it is defined in the very beginning of the article!
As it is stated there, progressive house borrows from trance, as I would say: it exposes the artificialty of techno in an alleviated style, whereas tech house, as I see it, tries to avoid the arbitrarity of those bland progressive sounds (sorry for the surge of emotion) and tries to put back some groove, sexyness and rawness into their tracks.
To know what I am talking about, one defining example for Tech House as I see it would be Justin Maxwell's "The Tussincussion" featured on the Digitized Sound EP on Palette.
