Talk:Higgins (dog)

message: To the anomynous users who contrubited the edit with Beardy Tom, having done considerable rearch for this an related articles, I can find no references to the dog being known as Beardy Tom. If this is accurate, then we should work it in and explain it. Please cite source(s). Thanks. Vaoverland 20:10, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
:Benji/Higgins vandalism has been going on for some time. Former versions of these pages may contain strange, random claims, such as that Higgins/Benji appeared in porn magazines, bit human actors, was addicted to pain medications due to arthritis and respiratory problems, etc. All of these claims -- and the "Beardy Tom" claim -- are completely false and the work of vandals. 64.142.90.32 07:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Beardy Tom

message: The estimated death date of 1975 and the film in 1977 seem to be in conflict. I'll attempt some research, but anyone else who can help clear this up, please do so. Vaoverland 23:41, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: based upon several sources, the original dog starred only in the first movie, and his progeny were the actors in For The Love of Benji in 1977 and the sequels. Vaoverland 22:18, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition to his seven years on Petticoat Junction, Higgins starred in two movies, Mooch Goes to Hollywood (1971) and Benji (1974). I have seen other sources that say he was born in 1960 and died in 1977. Vaoverland is correct that Benjean starred in For the Love of  Benji. If you will watch the movies, you can see that she is a female (no visible genitalia in eye-level side-shots), whereas Higgins was a male (visible genitalia). 64.142.90.32 07:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: , aside from the difficult chronology here, the article on Frank Inn explicitly states this did not actually happen, although it's easy enough to find cites otherwise.  Anmccaff (talk) 18:57, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: My edit was to show that he made the request, not that the dog was actually buried with him.  The Inn article confirms the request, including that he had a special casket made. I don't question that the Higgins wasn't buried with him.  Shall I add a sentence to clarify? Scr★pIronIV 19:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Burial

message: I have tagged Higgins' date of birth as dubious for two reasons: 1. The infobox cites IMDb as a source, which is not accepted as a reliable source by Wikipedia and 2. The article states that Higgins was found at an animal shelter. Which means he is a very successful example of a rescue animal - but it is very unlikely the shelter would know the dog's date of birth (unless he was a surrender). 70.73.90.119 (talk) 02:42, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It’s also highly implausible that the dog was 16 at the time of filming - he’s far too sprightly to have been that old. Paulito (talk) 21:33, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: We should increase citation density, which will increase the amount of bytes. For example, the section Apparent and mean solar day could use a rewrite with more citations. Leap seconds is entirely unsourced. The longitudal change thing is super interesting, we could have some prose to go along with that table. I could attempt to try to translate some of that paper, not sure how that will go, but it'd be a better idea to find other sources about the subject (and make sure that it actually is a thing). For new sections? Maybe parts of the day and their cultural implications could be added.

message: Sorry for not logging in but i am in a hurry. I though the explaination needed to be added since it the pronunciation can be taken as an error, whereas the creators of the program seem (from the website) to have chosen to pronounce u -a common replacement for the Greek mu in ascii- in English which is odd. Kosta Servis 119.11.96.130 (talk) 21:09, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because it is a u on the Web site. Only the logo uses a mu. --Evice (talk) 03:31, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The Greek letter 'μ' looks most similar to the Latin letter 'u'. I remember seeing and using this substitution in my college engineering classes in the late 80's, when Greek alphabets were not commonly used in word processors.  We tended to pronounce it 'micro', not 'mu', as it stands for 10-6 (or something very small, in more general terms).  In engineering, math and physics, Greek letters are used as symbols with specific meanings, not for words or text that can be translated, so the original sound of mu is irrelevant in this context.

When IBM purchased Informix, they got Redbrick as well (you can still find Redbrick
on the IBM pages).
Yes, Informix did buy Redbrick.  It was in the period when Jean-Yves Dexmier was CEO.  I was part of the integration team, the Redbrick headquarters was in Saratoga are of Silicon Valley.

Talk:Van 't Kruijs Opening

message: "Although not very aggressive for a first move, play may transpose to lines of...reversed Dutch Defence (f2-f4) positions." Would it be more accurate to call this Bird's Opening? Dynzmoar (talk) 18:19, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Reversed Dutch Defense

message: I just removed this text from the article:
This opening is beginning to age. After 1. e3 f5! 2. d4 Nf6, Black is in a Dutch Defense where White's e3 is not a really helpful move, and so forth virtually wastes a tempo.
Basically, my reasoning is mostly that this is original research - I can't find any reliable sources stating that f5 is a strong response to e3, although it very well may be. But there's also no compulsion on white to play d4 on move 2, and even if they do, e3 could still be a helpful move if white hopes to reach, for example, the Stonewall Attack. And what exactly is "beginning to age" meant to mean in this context? If someone wants to have a go at rewriting with support from sources, go for it. Alzarian16 (talk) 15:13, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

While annotating the "Shihuo Zhi" chapter of the Book of Han, the Wei-dynasty scholar Deng Zhan mentioned a Yue Yuan Yu — another text on music ascribed to Liu De. A text of the same name is quoted in the Baihutong. The Baihutong also contains a quotation from Yueji which is absent from the known Yueji version. This speaks in favor of some different Yueji, of which the Yue Yuan Yu might be a part.
