Talk:Cetology

message: I am not removing the Moby Dick quote, as it's a nice epigraph, but as it stands it is a little misleading: Melville quotes this line form Cpt. William Scoresby's Journal of a Voyage to the Northern Whale-Fishery (1823).  Melville's name is probably a more striking reference, but I am unsure of a succinct way to clarify the true author.
I find it ludicrous that the only image in this article shows a fox. --Etxrge 06:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Robe

message: I don't think the advertisement "the entertainment you can see without glasses" was suggesting it was a 3D movie, but rather was suggesting that here was a movie that didn't need a gimmick to entertain you. Much like if a movie came out today and said "the movie that dazzles without CGI" we wouldn't think that they somehow created magical artificial images without CGI. Perhaps someone could research this? -K
:Well, it is definitely pointing especially to the 3D-movies, which were just conquering the cinemas with tremendous success at the time "The Robe" was brought to the screen. There were many more "Gimmicks" (if one may call the 3D-hype this way, too) that were battling with the audience's attention to get them back to the cinemas since the drastic losses due to the growing TV-audiences (such as "Percepto", an electro-shocker in the viewer's seats) and to these also "Cinemascope" belonged at that time. It first was just another "Gimmick" - but in the end 20th Century Fox finally succeeded with it. Cinemascope is everywhere and 3D is almost dead. --Wittkowsky 13:27, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I moved (i.e. changed the name of) the article to include 'Fireblade'. Now this was revised saying "The CBR 1000RR is aslo calle fireblade in some countries but that page is not called CBR1000RR fireblade". Sorry, I don't see the point. All bikes mentioned in this article were called 'Fireblade' by the producer, media and most users. And you mean that this word should not appear in the title, because it was not always used for a certain CBR1000 in all countries? --Edoe (talk) 09:53, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The CBR900RR like the CBR1000RR was not marketed for sale as fireblade in the US or Canada there were never any markings on the bikes sold in North America saying fireblade. Not even one of the references on the page make any mention of the word fireblade. Even the manufactures 20 year timeline does not make any mention of the word fireblade, in fact it does state this when displacement increases that while still being called just CBR900RR in some markets it is now marketed in North America as CBR929RR. And then with the 954 it is marketed in North America and Japan as CBR954RR. This has all been covered in previous  discussions. The fireblade naming is discussed in the CBR900RR article like on the CBR1000RR page so it is not left out of the articles. As this is the English speaking version of Wikipedia the material I believe is suppose to reflect these markets I.E. US, Canada, UK, and  Australia. 72bikers (talk) 17:04, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Bennachie

message: Just now it says in the main article that Bennachie has a vitrified fort.
Is there any vitrification on Bennachie? Virtification refers to the melding of stone that is evident in ancient stone structures throughout North East Scotland (notably Dunideer). As far as I know there is no vitrification of the hillfort on Bennachie, although I could be wrong.
If it exists, where is it?
:What you said seemed right to me but it has taken me a long time to find a reference to say there is no vitrification. In the book I have added as a reference, in the chapter Prehistoric Communities in the Garioch it says "...this fort differed in its construction from that of the forts whose walls are now vitrified".

thread_title:  Possible copyright problem 

message: The 18-month courses started, for the first year, at either Cambridge or London. Plain clothes were worn, not uniform. After one year, pupils were moved to Bodmin, for six months, and had to go back to uniform. Military discipline at Bodmin was very light. By 1956 Crail in Fife had replaced Bodmin. 
 At the end of the course there was an exam. set by the Civil Service Commission, by which pupils could qualify as simultaneous interpreters. I think only about 1%-2% qualified as first-class, but all would have had a fairly decent ability in Russian.
 After discharge from full-time National Service there were still three years in each of which one had to return to the forces for one fortnight's refreshment training. Former JSSL personnel did this at Bodmin or Crail.

Category talk:Knights of the Golden Fleece

message: After starting this category I was not looking forward for a long and slow build-up of it, adding a name or two each time, but to my (glad) surprise I find it well stocked with names from the order's start to the modern era. I myself am not an enthusiast of knights or such things; my motive for starting this category was to balance the overflowing of its (older) sister category Knights of the Garter, I hate for somebody to think that only the English have knights, but to tell you the truth the joke was on me because one of the first names added to this category was that most famous Englishman: The Duke of Wellington! And to add insult to injury it was I who added his name.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countering systemic bias/Project details

message: WP is becoming a battle ground for geo-political information wars. The East/West Ukraine conflict is an example. On English pages there is a very strong bias to only using western media sources (RT for example is demonised just because it is Russian). Articles have been edited so that the view of western governments dominate while that of eastern government s is downgraded, distorted or even ignored. Furthermore there seem to be professional “thought police” constantly patrolling contentious topics to ensure that their design prevails. Couple of examples: MH17 disaster, where are the radar and satellite images provided by Russia? Where is there a list of evidence provided? Where is the report of the Russian engineering society mentioned? Where is the Biedermann interview mentioned? Where is the list of questions posed by the Russian government? Another example, the Minsk protocol and memorandum, why not reference the opening paragraphs in the protocol and memorandum to give context and understanding? The Donbass elections: Why not put in the understanding of the Russian government? Why does abuse get hurled at editors who try?

replies: text: Pelé, the football player is, by far, the best known subject in that disambiguation list. He is ofthen refered to in English as Pele, instead of Pelé.
In fact, three items in the disambiguation list are named Pele in honor of the Brazilian football player. 
Asteroid number 2202 is named after him (  http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-asteroids-named-after-people ), and so are football players Abedi Pele and Pedro Pele.
The portuguese word for skin should be searched in Wikipedia in Portuguese. 
In my oppinion, only the Polynesian goddess and the British pop band are left to consider and, again, in my oppinion, Pele, the football player, is much more relevant than any of them.
