<<In fact, Temese does not come from Ancient Greek, but from Latin Tamesis, which itself comes from Celtic (Brythonic) Tamesa, perhaps meaning "the dark one".>> From the article "Thames" --62.6.139.10 14:09, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Yaz Pistachio

message: It is highly doubtful she will ever return as one of Breathed's characters.
This appears to be pure speculation. Has Berke Breathed ever stated that he'd never resurrect her, or is this simply the opinion of the article's author?
:It looks like an observation based on a pattern in Berke's cartooning. Most of Berke's minor characters from the mid-80s were dropped with little or no explanation, and haven't been heard from since, so I guess the author assumed it was a given. That is why I am currently writing a Minor characters in Bloom County article (which I'll eventually merge this one into), so as to catalog all of those forgotten characters, and to avoid little offhand notations like that.--DXI 02:03, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: "During the scene where Barry is at the supermarket looking for the cheapest Healthy Choice food item, he is being followed by an out-of-focus character in a red outfit. It's Emily Watson's character, before they've been introduced."
I could have sworn I read an interview somewhere with the director who stated for certain that the out-of-focus character was NOT Emily Watson's character.  Can't for the life of me remember where, so I went to IMDB and noticed that the trivia section there is, in some places, verbatim to the trivia section here, and IMDB is not particularly well-known for constantly reliable facts.
Can anyone confirm that the above trivia entry is correct? Sidasta 12:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia entry 

message: This article reads as if someone took down every mildly interesting thing said on the director's commentary:  
The scene in which Egan first goes through the supermarket is composed as an homage to Andreas Gursky's photograph "99 cent".
Anderson originally wanted John C. Reilly to be cast as one of the four blond brothers.
Punch-Drunk Love is actor Bill Nighy's favorite film.
Okay, I took all those examples from the Trivia section, but the bit about fixing the harmonium with duct tape to go on tour with Aimee Mann isn't really notable either.

replies: text: Then, logically consistent, all goddesses should be merged into one article, they all are forms of the One. But Bhudevi is described totally different from Prithivi, because they are DIFFERENT forms of the earth goddess: Prithivi is spouse of the vedic (from the Vedas) god Dyaus Pita, but Bhudevi belongs to the puranic (from the Puranas) Varaha, avatar of Vishnu.

replies: text: The names distinguish them, but Hinduism is syncretic. Modernly the names are interchangeably used for the same deity. The Varaha avatar story is a later syncretization of the earlier vedic Prthvi with Vaishnav avatar theory. Hence Vishnu absorbs all the qualities of the sky father in texts about Varaha that no longer acknowledge the (essentially defunct) vedic sky god.

* "A letter of recommendation from one's employer was necessary to request a phone line" where is this info from?
* "especially the stage performances of the late Geza Hofi, and it was mostly tolerated." Hofi spent some time in prison, though.
* "Official efforts to gain support for Marxist-Leninist ideology amongst the people were half-hearted and produced little more than yearly marches that ended with free food picnics." as far as I know, several people also had to attend free Marxist-Leninist courses. I asked my parents about it and they remember that they sat through some endlessly boring classes.
* re the previous post: the highway system is definitely not good enough. Not because of the size (not 650 m but 477, according to www.autopalya.hu ) but because it is wrongly proportioned, about 70% of it is in Western Hungary, and the whole system is star-shaped, it connects cities only to the capital, not to each other.

Talk:Richard Le Gallienne

message: Both the current and an older 1959 version of the Oxford DNB state that Gwen was Richard and Irma's daughter. The latter says that a drawing of Richard by Gwen is "in her possession" and among the sources lists "private information; personal knowledge".  This could mean that Gwen, who by 1959 lived in London, was known to the author and considered herself to be Le Gallienne's daughter, not Hinton Perry's.  This could mean that Richard already had an affair with Irma as early as 1900, while both where still married to their previous spouses.  Within the Perry family it was always believed that Le Gallienne was cause for the break up of Hinton Perry's first marriage (personal knowledge).  Gwen's year of birth, however, is also not certain:  the NY Times announcement by her mother and Le Gallienne of her (short-lived) marriage on 1 Dec 1919 to the Dutch-born Violinist André Polah gives her first name as "Gwendolyn", describes her as "the daughter of of Mrs. Le Gallienne by her first husband" and as "just 20" years old.  Her death records at Kensington and Chelsea from Nov 1990 give her first name as "Gwendoline" and her date of birth as 5 Nov 1908.  She may well have fiddled her DOB over her long life in order to infer that Le Gallienne rather than Perry was her natural father.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.56.1 (talk) 17:22, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

As far as I see, these articles talk about different things: Bacteriostatic agent about bacteriostatic antibacterials, the other article about chemicals used to prevent growth of bacteria in plastics etc. A merger would be somewhat in line with the article Bactericide, which also is a sort of catch-all.
The other, and possibly cleaner, possibility would be to discuss bacteriostatic and bactericidal antibacterials in Antibacterial, bactericidal antiseptics in Antiseptic, bactericidal disinfectants in Disinfectant, and keep Bactericide as a disambig. Bacteriostatic agent/Bacteriostat could then be reserved for the discussion of such chemicals, probably with a hatnote to Antibacterial. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 10:33, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
