Talk:Spellbound (1945 film)

message: I may be wrong, but I remember Salvador Dali coming into the movie in the images the new doctor has in his dreams. And, it is through the analysis of these dreams by Ingrid Bergman's mentor, that the mystery is solved.
Anyone remember this correctly? RoseParks
I find it interesting that even though Ingrid Bergman plays an educated professional woman with a pivotal role in the film,  her role is NEVER cited as an important part of feminist iconography.  Could it be that by some perversity only ugly or unusual-loooking women (e.g.: Bette Davis) can considered feminist icons, and not beautiful women like Ingrid?

message: The film certainly isn't in the "Public Domain" -- the rights are currently owned by Disney/Buena Vista.  The Criterion DVD was officially licensed from Disney/Buena Vista, but they then withdrew the license as MGM wanted to include the title in a planned box set (hence the Criterion suddenly went "out of print" and became a collector's item).  The MGM box set was shelved when Sony acquired the company.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davepattern (talk • contribs) 09:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The flag and coat of arms were introduced in the New Guinea Raad on December 1 1961. They were then used alongside the Dutch flag in Hollandia (Jayapura), and in some towns during early 1962 before the short UNTEA period. I have no problem with the Bintang Kejora flag being used, because it covers some of the period, but the Flag of the Netherlands should also be there, as this was the flag under which West New Guinea flew under for most of this period (including in many places between Dec 1961 and October 1962).

Talk:Prefecture

message: "In the Japanese system, prefecture are used for translating an adminstrative district about the size of a county. "
What does "county" relate to here? Is it a US county? By the way, what is the size of a county? - Olivier
:That was written by a Canadian, so I couldn't begin to guess. In the US, there's no standard size to counties that I'm aware of; here in California they vary in area from a couple hundred to fifty thousand km2, and in population from about a thousand people to about ten million. --Brion
::That sentence was borrowed from a Geocities website written by a Jap. That non-copyright page is brief so I intended to post here as a stub.kt2
I managed to dig up some stats on population and land area by prefecture (ignore the forest stuff, just look at the first couple columns; the area figures are in hectares). The prefectures also vary fairly widely from 1880 to 83,410 km², with an average size of about 8000 km² (vs about 7000 km² average of counties in California), and a median around 6000 km² (vs about 4000 km² median for counties). In terms of population, Japanese prefectures are significantly more crowded, with an average population of about 2.7 million each (vs ca counties 583,000), but the population is a bit more evenly spread out among them (median of ~1.8 mil, vs counties a mere 165,669!) Hope that helps... --Brion
The difference is not in size or population but in administrative responsibility. At the lowest level you have the town or city government, the so called municipality (mayors, town councils, etc), then you have the county level government representing a city or collection of towns or large rural area, then you have regional or prefecture level government (US states, English Regions, japanese prefectures) and finally national government. 83.104.138.141 (talk) 02:39, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I recently had the following page moves done:

#Loire (river) --> Loire
In other words, the Loire article is now about the river, not the department. More clarification at Talk:Loire (department).
However, a problem remains. A large number of articles have links to Loire that need updating to Loire (department). Unfortunately a number of articles have links to Loire where the river is obviously intended, which means those ones should not be updated (they were wrong before, but are now right, if that makes sense). This means we can't simply get a bot to update them, so it all has to be done manually (which is what I'm doing now, very slowly).

We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes.
