Talk:Weird fiction

message: ...should "weird fiction" not redirect more to fantasy rather than horror ?
(i'm coming from the The_Scar page, and China Mieville is much more Fantasy-inspired/orientated rather than horror...)

thread_title: Redirect

message: I've just added 'Frank Belknap Long' and 'Brian Lumley' to the list. There are probably quite a few other notable weird fiction authors that should be included. Incidentally: there seems to be no particular ordering in this list - it needs to be arranged alphabetically...Ericlord (talk) 09:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO, what the article needs is more discusion of what wierd fiction is and it's importance, not just a useless list of authors getting longer and longer.

I've already removed one author - Iain Banks - as I could find no reliable sources to support his inclusion. I've tagged the section for now, in the hope that other Wikipedians can supply references to reliable sources where appropriate, but I will come back and remove more names later. H.

Talk:Oregon City Bridge

message: This plaque suggests the bridge is formerly known as Willamette River Bridge. Should we redirect Willamette River Bridge in this article? ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:27, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Might you happen to know a bit more about this bridge? ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:28, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I don't think so, because I believe it would create confusion without sufficient benefit. There have been hundreds of bridges across the Willamette River, and it's very likely that this not was the only one that used "Willamette River Bridge" as a name (with capital B), especially in the years when bridges across the Willamette were very few in number. The article already mentions – in both the main body and the NRHP infobox heading – that this bridge is formally "Willamette River Bridge" No. 357, and I suspect that the only reason this alternative (and historic, probably still official) name is not mentioned in the lead is that it is not in common use at all (and probably not for 80+ years), because "Willamette River Bridge" is a very vague name nowadays.  If there were multiple (3 or more) bridges that were or are commmonly known as the "Willamette River Bridge", then a disambiguation page at that title would be appropriate, but as far as I know there are not, so I would oppose the creation of such a disambiguation page (at least based on what I currently know). SJ Morg (talk) 06:48, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok, thanks. I went ahead and redirected Willamette River Bridge (No. 357) to this article, though, which I assume is appropriate. ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:55, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's fine. There were already redirects at Willamette River (Oregon City) Bridge (No. 357) and Willamette River Bridge No. 357, and that's why I didn't create that additional one – but there's no harm in having it.  SJ Morg (talk) 07:33, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Arlington Memorial Bridge

message: L'Enfant identified himself as "Peter Charles L'Enfant" during most of his life, while residing in the United States. (See: Bowling, Kenneth R (2002). Peter Charles L'Enfant: vision, honor, and male friendship in the early American Republic. George Washington University, Washington, D.C.) He wrote this name on his "Plan of the city intended for the permanent seat of the government of t(he) United States ...." (Washington, D.C.) and on other legal documents. However, during the early 1900's, a French ambassador to the U.S., Jean Jules Jusserand, popularized the use of L'Enfant's birth name, "Pierre Charles L'Enfant". (See: Bowling (2002).) The National Park Service identifies L'Enfant as Major Peter Charles L'Enfant and as  Major Pierre (Peter) Charles L'Enfant on its website. The United States Code states in 40 U.S.C. 3309: "(a) In General.—The purposes of this chapter shall be carried out in the District of Columbia as nearly as may be practicable in harmony with the plan of Peter Charles L'Enfant."  The November page of the 2010 edition of the United States Capitol Historical Society's calendar identifies L'Enfant's grave in Arlington National Cemetery as being that of "Peter L'Enfant".  For those reasons, Wikipedia articles should identify L'Enfant as Pierre (Peter) Charles L'Enfant, rather than as Pierre Charles L'Enfant or Pierre L'Enfant.

Additionally, under the subheading "Film adaptations," there is a link to the Wikipedia article about it within the text. Adding a link under the subheading as well is redundant and looks sloppy.

text: I have more experience with film articles, and maybe the guidelines for those differ from the ones for theatre articles. I don't know what you mean when you say "find some in-line references to support the assertions made in the article." What "assertions" do you mean? Aside from the plot synopsis, all the facts in the article are supported by the play's IBDb listing. Isn't listing it as an External link sufficient? And instead of Emerson7 flippantly responding, "it was fine the way it was," maybe he could engage in a civil discussion and explain why he thinks putting an IMDb link in an article about a play makes sense.

Talk:Aga Khan Hospital, Kisumu

message: The ProD warning was unjustified. This institution may not apear notable in the Western world, however it is one of the oldest and most important institutions in Kisumu and Kenya. Consider how many hospitals exist to serve that city and region? How many of them were established in the 50's and managed to survive Kenyan independence, the political turmoil in the region and are still able to offer the highest standards of medical care?
This is an important institution to the Great Lakes communities of East Africa and would be regarded as the Mayo Clinic of the region. It is also an important point of service for tourists and ex-pats seeking high quality medical care. A record of its existance and the service that it provides to the poeple of the region deserves to be noted in Wikipedia.

Traditional power is primarily based on a custom/habit.
When this breaks down it may resort to naked power:
'If the traditional creeds are doubted without any alternative, then the traditional authority relies more and more on the use of naked power.'
In this context revolutionary power based on a new creed may emerge culminating in a conflict of naked force.
If/when the revolutionary power succeeds it's creed becomes the basis for a new traditional power, initially provisional but gradually consolidating over time.
This continues for as long as it takes for general assent to it's creed to, in turn, decay, and the cycle repeats.
