Talk:Aaron Pryor

message: This article seems perfectly NPOV to me. I assume the debate is about the Arguello fight, since I noticed the Alexis Arguello article is flagged as well. If so, the controversy about that fight is very real. Pryor had an unethical trainer named Panama Lewis, who gave him a bottle of some unknown substance at a key point in the fight. Lewis was known for such antics--read the article on him--and people still talk about the Pryor-Arguello fight because of that incident. user:Jsc1973

Talk:Robin Butler, Baron Butler of Brockwell

message: Can someone help out with some of the terminology in this article.  Few Americans can decipher "he took a double first in Mods and Greats and twice gained a rugby Blue."  I was able to figure out the "double first" and put a Wikipedia link there.  I'm guessing Mods is modern languages.  Please keep in mind that most British terminology, abbreviations and slang are unknown to Americans and those in other countries as well.  Thanks. SDC 03:36, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite right. I often find myself getting indignant about American jargon being used as if everybody understands it! I must say I find it even more annoying when it is used inappropriately in a British context (e.g. a person described as having "majored in history", which would be unheard of at most British universities).
*Double first means that he was placed in the first class in both his first and second public examination. (If he had stayed on to take a second Final Honour School and got a first it would be called a triple first, as in the case of C. S. Lewis).
*Mods is short for Moderations and means the first public examination for some courses at Oxford (others have "Prelims", short for "Preliminary Examination"). In his case it means Classical Moderations, the usual shorthand first "Honour Moderations in Literae Humaniores" (i.e. Classics)
*Greats means the Final Honour School of Literae Humaniores, i.e. the second public examination in Classics.
*A "Blue" is what you get for representing Oxford in a match (or other sporting fixture) against Cambridge. See University Sporting Blue.--Oxonian2006 15:39, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello. I have a query. In the past, I have posted a link to an exclusive video interview with Jim Nicholson and it has now been removed because, according to the person who removed it, it was considered spam. In fact, the link was posted to enrich and enhance the quality of the article as a whole by providing new and relevant information. Never was my posting of this link done with the intention to create spam or any other malignant activity. It is a pity that readers of wikipedia can no longer take advantage of this video interview, which, I think (and you may judge for yourself by clicking here: http://www.thetalent.org/Video/frm-main.php?show=7&quality=stop) is an important source of knowledge for those interested in his work.

thread_title: Comments

message: What does "Air Line" mean in this context? Presumably it has nothing to do with aircraft. Biscuittin (talk) 10:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "Air Line" is a metaphor for the shortest distance between two points:  a straight line drawn through the air (or on a map) between two places, ignoring hills, valleys, and natural obstacles.  Hence the similar meaning of the colloquial expression "to make a bee line" or "as the crow flies."  Like the Seaboard, a number of other railroads organized in the 19th century also used "air line" in their titles in order to suggest to travelers that their rail route was the shortest one between departure and arrival points; and of course, the shorter the route, the shorter the travel time.  Nothing at all to do with aircraft, which weren't invented when Seaboard was organized.  Does this help?  :-)  Textorus (talk) 21:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/2 the Ranting Gryphon

message: I disagree.  I found this article started by a fan and edited it to clean it up, clarify elements, and proceed with a proper entry.  Like the entries surrounding such members of filk fandom as Leslie Fish and Heather Alexander, 2 is an actual producer of original material.  In other words, he's not just some schmuck getting a vanity piece on Wikipedia; he's actually created original art, writing, and has made a living within fandom.  As long as he is more than just a fanboy geek, he -and all others who work as semi- or full-fledged-pros- should be considered for an entry.
Also, he didn't start the article and hence this is not a vanity piece. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sylvan012 (talk • contribs) 04:06, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I also thought the $3.1 billion number was ridiculous, but I checked the US government source, and it seems to hold up.  I'd love to know where exactly that money is going!  Perhaps the number includes services provided to the Polish army while stationed in Iraq.  You mentioned you have two sources, but you actually linked to the same article twice in a row.  Did you accidentally paste the wrong link?  I'm very interested in seeing your other source --Jonovision 01:43, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This number really is ridiculous, and the way the description is phrased is unacceptable.  Until solid references are provided, I have removed it. The sequence of numbers in the spreadsheet file strains credulity.  These numbers might reflect paying for some of the cost of keeping and transporting Polish units to Iraq, but this is obviously not equivalent to military aid to Poland.  Thus if Israel or Egypt gets a billion dollars from the US in military aid, this means lots of shiny new guns and planes for Israel and Eqypt to make them stronger militarily.  But if the US airlifts a Polish brigade to Iraq, bills the cost of this at $1 billion and files that cost under "military aid to Poland", this does not increase the military capability of the Polish army at all and thus cannot be considered military aid in the common sense this term is understood. At any rate, we don't have any data more recent than 2003, so using the present tense is dubious. If Poland really did become the second recipient of US military aid after Israel, I am sure there would have been some media reports of it, but I have not seen any.

This term is still relatively disputed amongst usability experts - Jakob Nielsen, in the example in the external links, provides ample evidence that the fold matters, whereas Ms. Tarquini "blasts the myth of the fold." Dictionary almost seems to institutional for this, as I think it's more a concept, approach, or theory than just a term.

message: I am concerned about the status of Bevel Lemelisk.

That which comes from LucasFilm is in general regarded as one of the higher forms of Canon. I can also not find citations indicating that the Geonosians created the Death Star plans, but merely that Poggle the Lesser (the Geonosian leader) was in posession of the plans.
