Talk:Grain supply to the city of Rome

message: The references to corn need to be removed from this entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mannsha (talk • contribs) 07:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  There was no corn in pre Colombian Europe 

message: I just linked to this article while copy-editing gladiator. It took me some time. This article needs work - it has no inline citations for one thing. I'm surprised at the objection to the use of corn in this connection, and disagree with the change, which rides roughshod over a common and legitimate usage found in any half-decent English dictionary. Corn in British English has been - and still is - used as a generic and default term for any cereal plants and grains. It did so long before its application to maize in America, and forms the very usual "corn-dole" in referring to subsidised corn (yes) rations for the urban poor of Rome. The reference should have stayed as it was, with an explanatory note, if one was required, for those who thought corn meant only maize. Haploidavey (talk) 20:42, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Oh yes there was...

message: At the moment this article does an adequate job explaining where the grain for the population of Rome came from, & has some information about how it was transported (the grain ships used were some of the largest vessels of the pre-Industrial age), but not one word about how it was rationed out -- beyond a nod to the "bread & circuses" cliche. The annona was not a Classical version of modern welfare for the inhabitants of Rome: a person living in the city had no right to the annona, even if they could meet some qualifying test of residency & citizenship. IIRC, one Classics expert even wrote that the greater share did not go to the poor & idle, but to the rich who then presumably redistributed the grain to their clientes. (No surprise: the tickets entitling the holder to a regular ration of food is valuable, & items of value tend to find their way into the hands of the wealthy & powerful, a rule more obeyed in Roman times than now.) -- llywrch (talk) 20:47, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

* "Poly" shall mean Plantronics, Inc.
Of course, there remains the possibility that it will change its legal name in due course. If that happens, then we will need to rename the page and add redirect from Plantronics to Poly.  Right now, Poly (company) redirects to Plantronics.

Talk:Lamia (poem)

message: This poem plunges into a discussion of Lamia (what happened to the "Other Poems?" I know "Lamia and Other Poems" is the title of the book in which Lamia was published, but either we discuss the book, or we discuss the poem) without giving the reader more than a vague idea of what Lamia is. There's no discussion of the theme or plot, or even who the heck Lamia is. As someone vaguely acquainted with Lamia thanks to literature classes in college, I can't even see for the life of me how this poem can be described as Gothic; the Eve of St. Agnes, yes, definitely, but Lamia? This article needs work, and I'm not one to touch it, except perhaps to dump a little detail here and there, where it can possibly be squeezed in amongst an earnest (but incomprehensible) discussion of the poem's language. Johnleemk | Talk 08:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Context needed 

message: I think this poem is a very important piece, because it inspired Richard Dawkins, the famous biologist and author of The Selfish Gene, to write a book called Unweaving the Rainbow. 
He says in his debate with Steven Pinker entitled "Is Science Killing The Soul?" that Keats complained that Newton destroyed all the beauty of the rainbow by explaining how it works. And then, he goes on to allude to these lines from Lamia: 
I think that when selecting the title Unweaving the Rainbow which was published in 1998, he certainly had kept these lines in mind. 
It would be great if the editors of this article can add this book that clearly references Lamia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rita1075 (talk • contribs) 13:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The orange-flavored Coffee Crisp existed long before 2001, though I remember it being packaged as more of a cookie than a candy bar--they were smaller than a Coffee Crisp bar, and the packaging was more cookie bag-sized. I believe they were called "Orange Crisps", but the package design and font were similar to Coffee Crisp. I often saw them in Montreal grocery stores in the 1980s. Can anyone else back me up on this? 
Also, I don't know if it's worth mentioning in the article, but Coffee Crisp was fairly widely available in New York City in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
