message: I can remember this song when I was a kid. It's a haunting melody for me and it dredges up deep feelings in me about death. From my perspective, the guy in the song lost his wife. She just died one day while he was away. Probably the most tragic thing that could happen to anyone. And he sings about his memories of her...very sad. Why would anyone want to listen to this song and even purchase it? I can see why it's been voted the worst song ever. It's amazing to me that it was a number one hit. I think it's interesting that all of his memories of her are unpleasant moments for her. He laughed at her when she planted the tree, he laughs at her when she slips on the floor, he calls her "kinda dumb", she wrecked the car, he catches her crying needlessly in the middle of the day. I can see why some think that she committed suicide. But my thinking is that she just died.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.238.49.65 (talk) 21:35, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  A disturbing song 

message: Probably the ambiguity of the song in trying to explain a sudden death is what made it (and makes it) "work." Was Honey suffering from depression? Did she have an undiagnosed brain tumor? If you listen to the lyrics carefully, you can hear clues—but none of them are definitive. 
Even the mention of the death is ambiguous: "the angels came." Some have suggested it really means "the Hells Angels came," and that she ran off with a motorcycle gang, leaving her husband (or was he just her live-in boyfriend/shack-up lover?) by himself. You can take the song at (more-or-less) face value, but you can never be sure what "really" happened. 64.85.224.70 (talk) 04:18, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

message: How Much detail is necessary on this subject?
(While earlier .22 semi-automatic rifles were often designed to function with .22 Short, .22 Long and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably, the Model 60 is optimized for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge only. During the 1930s to 1950s Short and Long were less expensive than Long Rifle; however, the superior ballistics of the Long Rifle have reduced the market share of Short and Long to where the Long Rifle today is less expensive than the Short or Long due to simple economy of scale of production. Like the Ruger 10/22 and several other modern .22 semi-autos, the Model 60 is designed for the Long Rifle Only.)

Talk:Pulotu

message: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulotu  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  18:38, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  AfD discussion 

message: I rewrote somewhat to avoid a combining of the traditions of different parts of Polynesia. I also tried to change the emphasis in the opening line to Pulotu as 'Polynesian mythology' which gives the mistaken impression that the concept is found all over Polynesia. It is important to maintain the separation of the individual traditions - otherwise we are at risk of rewriting the traditions. The association made with the Māori concepts of Hawaiki and Te Reinga I thought was taking it a little too far - Hawaiki is not always/often conceived of that way by my people. I also took out a reference to 'Purotu' since there was no evidence offered that the word occuring in that form means underworld. I also took out the reference to Pulotu having changed in Tahitian to purotu meaning a girl of marrying age. The word occurs in many Eastern Polynesian languages with the meaning beautiful:
*HAW   Puuloku. :Comely, tender (Pki)@
*MAO   Purotu. :Handsome, clear, pleasant (Wms)@
*MVA   Porotu. :Beauty, handsome person (Bck)@
*PEN   Purotu. :Beautiful (Rsn)@
*PUK   Pulotu. :Beautiful (Bge).
*RAR   Purotu. :Pleasant, pleasing, agreeable (Sve)@
*TAH   Purotu. :Joli, beau (Mte)@
*TUA   Purotu. :Slightly handsome, attractive (Stn)@
versus
SAM   <Pulotu. :The residence of the gods (Prt)>@
There is nothing here to suggest that the word changed in Tahitian (or that it is only used of women); nor is there any evidence to suggest which meaning is the older, the eastern Polynesian 'beautiful' or the western Polynesian 'residence of the gods' Kahuroa 22:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I got the Māori information from the Hawaiki page. Nevertheless I assume you know better. From Lemaître's Tahitian dictionary: purotu — joli, beau (se dit surtout des femmes). Anyway, apparently pulotu and purotu are independent words. --Tauʻolunga 00:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: thanks for that - the Hawaiki page isn't necessarily incorrect, but like many of the Māori pages could do with some reinvestigation from early sources  to establish what the traditions actually were.

If this is not done, they will appear before A or after Z depending on the character. When the category sort code is used, this article will be listed under A (rather than '), but will appear as 'Aho'eitu.

thread_title:  Footnote 24 is a dead link 

message: It's very obvious that the employee who wrote that article for Nintendo where in a footnote they call the sixth game in the series, 封印の剣, the seventh, made a mistake. 
The author of that note on this article and many of the other Fire Emblem Wikipedia articles incorrectly cited that interview and claimed that because the author of that source made a factual error, there is now somehow "debate" as to which number in the series Thracia 776 and the later games are, even though there has never been any question both before and after that interview was published.
Thracia 776 isn't even mentioned in that source anyway, so to claim that it supports the notion that that game is "alternatively known as the 5th and 6th game in the series" or that there is "disagreement from sources" is factually wrong or at the very least, extremely misleading. 68.37.250.33 (talk) 17:29, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Beren then attempted to take another Silmaril from Morgoth's crown, but the tip of the dagger Angrist broke and cut Morgoth. As they escaped from Angband..."
There is no explanation as to why the blade cutting Morgoth would do anything. Was Morgoth there? Was he asleep? Was he watching peacefully, and then the blade cut him, so he decided to be angry?
Should there be an explanation that he was put under Lúthien's spell, and the blade cut him and he started to awake -- or whatever the reason was? (Haven't read my Lay in a few months!)
