Talk:William Fulco

message: How is what Fr Fulco did any different from translating Asterix into Latin?  Not a constructed language, but a translation.  --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Aramaic of Jesus is not well attested. Fulco had to reconstruct, or if you will restore it. However I object to describing him as a conlanger. This is not accurate. He restored a lost language, he didn't produce one from scratch. His work is not different (although the methods are different) from someone who works in the reconstruction of PIE, or Proto-Germanic, or Proto-Romance, etc. To describe him as a conlanger is a joke from people who absolutely do not understand what he did.

Talk:William G. Batchelder

message: This rather large edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_G._Batchelder&diff=next&oldid=277107553 was just made.  I have mixed feelings about it.  A lot of information was removed, but also, I like the organization better in this new version.  I think trying to put some of the axed info back into this new set up would be good, and I may work on that myself if I have time.  Zybthranger (talk) 20:16, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I find it very difficult to believe that the members of the Wiki Adventure Games Project have chosen to assess this article as of "low importance."  This is one of the most seminal and historic adventure games of all time! Its from 1978, for crying out loud, and thus preceeded Zork One: The Great Underground Empire by two years.  Unless I am mistaken, and I very much don't think that I am, this was the very first commercially available work of interactive fiction!  Possibly even the first commercially available adventure game of any kind (and if not THE first, it was certainly among the first five or so).  Colossal Cave Adventure was written several years earlier, but was not commercially released until 1982, it should be noted.  This article should, at the very least, be granted Mid-level importance.  I mean, come on! KevinOKeeffe (talk) 06:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Most likey the people involved in the "project" are of the current breed of Interaction Fiction writers/players. Adams' works are derided by most of these people for being too "simplistic." Today's IF must be artsy-fartsy or it's no good. They don't appreciate what a technical achievement Adventureland was at the time (an adventure game in 16KB!). Nor do they have the technical expertise to realize the merits of its design. Adams was the FIRST to write his games not as standalone programs, but as data objects embedded in an interpreter. He was the first to create and utilize a language specifically designed for the creation of adventure games. Interactive Fiction (IF) authors of today (for the most part) can't appreciate that. Their life has been made easy by smart people like Graham Nelson and Andrew Plotkin already providing the language and tools. They didn't, and probably couldn't create the tools themselves, and probably wouldn't be writing IF. Scott Adams SHOULD be given more credit in the IF world then he is. He is as important to the genre as Crowthers and Woods.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.31.106.35 (talk) 16:47, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:William G. Roll

message: I noted in the article that his place of death was [[Norm
al, Illinois]], which is in the same county as where his son and daughter-in-law live. A brilliant place to exit this world considering he advocated that the "paranormal" was actually "normal" in some of his published papers. I have discovered an interesting bit of trivia, a strange coincidence, that I want to note here in case there is ever a possible use for it in the article in the future (perhaps if a high quality outside source mentions it). He died on January 9, 2012. So consider the following calculation:
01/09/2012
1 + 9 + 2012 = 2022
20 + 22 = 42
42 = The ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything

It's also the angle of a rainbow. Way to go, Mr. Roll. 5Q5 (talk) 18:35, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Pov editing

message: The article has an entire paragraph which explains that Roll left his previous academic positions, and spend the entire 1980s and 1980s as a college professor in a Georgia-based university. Then his death section describes him as a long-time resident of Georgia. This sounds like a redundant repetition to me.

message: The description of Gaunt's early life raises some questions. His father is listed as a "lawyer", not typically an English description, and he was an undergraduate of Baylor University, Texas - that would be a highly atypical level of globe-trotting for a pre-war kid from Pudsey, Yorkshire!

Talk:Kolors

message: Under 'Track Listing' it says "Track 5 can be found in its original form on the album Legend</I>" - legend is in and of itself a compilation; the song is the same version, and it's a leftover from "Little Dreamer". This sentence/bullet pint should be removed, IMHO.
:The version on Legend is the original outtake from Little Dreamer, even though it was released after the Kolors version. The version that appeared on Kolors is either a different recording, or the same recording with a ton of extra (tasteless) instrumentation to fill in gaps where Peter dropped out. Kolors was produced with little or no input from Green himself, and was released as a way of squeezing as much money as possible out of old outtakes and scraps. If you listen to the two versions back to back, they are entirely different. Bretonbanquet (talk) 12:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

message: While Ambassador Sullivan was in Laos, he was charged by presidential directive with running the "Secret War" within Laos. By so doing, he was functioning as the equivalent of a four-star general like Westmoreland because he was directing air and ground combat operations throughout Laos. His authority in this instance was a unique event in U. S. diplomatic history. His tenure in Laos thus deserves extensive coverage.
