Talk:Echelon (2001 video game)

message: Would it be beneficial to add a section on the controversy surrounding this game's US release? according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethesda_Softworks#Controversies , 
"Bethesda Softworks published Echelon in the United States, a video game developed by Russian developers Madia. The developers stated that Bethesda didn't pay a single cent from boxed sales of the game, as was specified in the contract according to Madia. The developers wrote an open letter to Bethesda in which they have detailed the whole affair but Bethesda still refused to pay. In the end Madia decided not to take it to court. Pete Hines VP of PR at Bethesda later stated that Madia presented misleading allegations about Bethesda's role as publisher of Echelon in North America and that Bethesda has no contractual obligations to Madia", seems like it would improve on the current stub status.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Temporalarcheologist (talk • contribs) 03:46, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Holy Writ

message: I see someone has prodded this.  I redirected this to religious text; this was reverted.  Any better ideas as to what to do with this page, or how this might be expanded in a way that is not redundant to that page, which is also where scripture redirects to? - Smerdis of Tlön 19:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I explained in the edit summary but not here.  This article serves a purpose, to explain an encyclopedic term. Neither of the pages that this article was redirected to contains the same information or even the barest mention of it, so this one is not redundant to either of those articles.  If it is redirected, the information is lost.  If you adhere to the procedure outlined at WP:MM and merge the text of this article in with Holy Scripture first, then redirect, I will not complain. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 03:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "Holy Writ" is in fact used by older persons, particularly those in the King James Only movement, but is hardly restricted to them, and I think that one would be hard pressed to cite documents showing this, although it would be relatively easy to cite documents using the term.  I think that this is a topic well-suited to a dicdef, and suggest transwikiing by someone interested in Wiktionary.  Rlquall 02:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Phoebe (biblical figure)

message: The disambiguation of "(Bible)" is wrong. It implies that the thing is inherently or substantially of the Bible. This would be true for the canon or a book or the Bible or a famous codex. It is not true for somebody just mentioned in the Bible. Most minor figures just usetheir name; no further disambiguation is required. This is not the case here as lots of other articles use the name. So some disambig is needed. I've noticed that other minor figures use the term "(biblical figure)". I propose that this be used here.

thread_title:  SOURCES, PLEASE 

message: I have noticed with Ezhava article that the content has been largely romanticised. yes ezhavas did kalari, yes they were businessmen and vaidyar..these qualifications are well documented, and yes a proportion of the community were of near equal status to nairs, however they were also toddy tappers and menial labourers in the past. this latter aspect of ezhavas is not documented. while i am glad that the caste system is done away with and i condemn the often inhumane treatment of ezhavas in the past, wikipedia is also an encyclopedia, and as such, information must be brought to the surface regardless. remember there were ezhavas who did brahmin duties (ayurveda), kshatriya duties (kalari), vaishya duties (businessmen) and shudra duties (labour)

message: There are confusions/arguments on the origin of these two groups. I saw some new stuffs come up on Thiyya origin. I am not commenting on that now. Whatever be the origin or culture, we just have to know that we are two communities cooperating each other socialy, fighting together for the betterment of both communities and has many marital relationships. I myself is an Ezhava married to a Thiyya. If we start creating a divide what will happen to the offsprings of Ezhava-Thiyya parents?
Let's also add some stuffs on the Thiyya customs in Malabar, somehing about Muthappan etc.
Thiyyas prefer to marry among themselves. The culture and traditions of Thiyyas are quite different. They were not cut off from the main stream hindus, like the Ezhavas were.Thiyyas have martial traditions.Thiyyas of North Malabar are a prosperous groupChandranKadalundi 05:32, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

*Ancient Ways
*Apple Valley Heathen Gathering
*CAW-Con
*Celebrate Samhain
*Celebrate the Spirit
*Desert Magic Festival
*Fall Festival & Druid Gathering
*FireDance
*FireTribe
*ForestDance
*Free Spirit Gathering
*Gathering of the Tribes
*Gnosticon
*Goddess Gathering
*Harvest Home Gathering
*MayFire
*Merrymeet
*Midnight Flame Festival
*Pagan Pride

*Rites of Spring
*Sirius Rising
*Spirit Fire
*Summerland Gathering
*Three Realms: A Pacific Druid Festival
*Trillium Spring Gathering

text: Well, I found a couple of pages that sound as though the term "bile salt" does mean conjugated bile acid.  I looked at the actual structures in a gastroinestinal physiology textbook, and they're definitely still acids.  Logically, they shouldn't be called salts (except in the context of a solution or crystal where there's a cation other than H+), but maybe they are. --Dan Wylie-Sears 2 (talk) 23:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for checking this. The pKa of these bile acids is different when they are conjugated with glycine/taurine.  This means that in the duodenum the conjugated forms are usually anionic "salts" and have a hydrophilic face and a hydrophobic face, making them better michelle-forming detergents. The unconjugated forms are protonated "acids". See the section under primary bile acids and in particular ref 9 (and other work by Hofmann and colleagues).
