replies: text:  Myths are being used to support a conspiracy theory. One is that the act that was initially passed by the House creates, for the first time, a specific exemption for American Samoa from the minimum wage or minimum wage increases. American Samoa has actually been exempt from the mainland minimum wage for a long time, under existing law (the existing Fair Labor Standards Act). This is sometimes combined with the fact that Del Monte, a company whose subsidiary makes use of fishing for tuna in the territory of American Samoa, is headquartered in Speaker Pelosi's district. Hence the mythical "tuna clause." Settler 07:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Charles F. Haanel

message: I have removed the following: "It is rumored that Bill Gates, whilst he was attending Harvard, discovered a copy of The Master Key System. According to the rumour, Mr. Gates was so inspired by the tome that he dropped out of school and began his computer business career, which resulted in him being the wealthiest man in the world as the founder and owner of Microsoft. http://www.haanel.com ."  
Rumor does not constitute grounds for inclusion in Wikipedia.  If someone can get a reliable source, such as an interview with Bill Gates, that confirms the rumor, the information can be restored.

thread_title:  Attempted upgrade 

message: I added some better sourcing on his business career, and restored the Napoleon Hill letter, whcih had been dropped, but which went a long way toward plcing his notability in full historical context. Funny how since the last time i had checked in the article had gone from 4.500 k to 1,200 k and was tagged for non-notability. It almost seems as if someone named User:hrafn has embarked upon a deletion campaign against early 20th century non-fiction authors. i saw the same sort of thing at the Wallace Wattles page recently. Hmmmm. Perhaps we have a one-track-mind editor on the prowl, someone who hates self-help, New Thought, and success authors of 100 to 50 years ago. Is that possible? If so, i wonder what could motivate such a person. Well, i fixed what i could and upgraded as i could. I'm always happy to help improve Wikipedia.

Talk:Portraiture

message: I came to Wikipedia to research the portrait for an art exhibit I am planning to curate at Eyedrum Art and Music Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia.
I am asking myself, "Is there a difference between a painted portrait and portraiture in a broader sense?" My opinion is yes, I believe there is a difference. Thus it deserves a separate article. The relationship of portrait photography and portraiture is similar to portrait painting and the meta-idea of portrait. Each is a sub-article of the main entry for Portrait.  
Perhaps the confusing aspect is the lack of modernity in definition of what a portrait can be. See Portrait (disambiguation) The everyday meaning, "a visual likeness of a person" limits contemporary notions of representing a person.  Portrait painting  describes the delination best when saying "the intent [of portrait painting] is to depict the visual appearance of the subject, mostly a person, whereas the portrait is expected to show the essence of the subject." Furthermore, in the literature occurance (Portrait (literature)), "the term portrait refers to a written description or analysis of a person or thing."
So in addition to a visual likeness, a portrait can also convey the essence or provide a description of a person or object.  This becomes the meta idea of the word portrait.  
 The missing article is the contemporary Portrait.  What about still life as portrait? A collection of keepsakes or items rpresentational of a hobby visually represented with paint or photography.  Assemblage as selfportrait could be the contents of a woman's purse.  Is a sound a portrait?
 This is the question I will ask when investigating Contemporary Portraits for the exhibition.
 Any comments?

Talk:Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50

message: SDHC supports capacities well above 4GB (I believe the spec allows up to 32GB), and there are currently a few 8GB cards in production.  As these (8GB) cards were not available when the FZ50 was released, there's no mention of support for them in the manual.  The article specifies that the supported capacity maxes out at 4GB, but I haven't seen this explicitly stated anywhere.  Does anyone know if the DMC-FZ50 works with 8GB SDHC cards?  More importantly, does anyone know of a source that can be referenced to support changing the text of the article, if 8GB cards are supported (rather than anecdotal "I bought an 8GB card and it works" claims)? —Erik Harris 17:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kalends of February

message: Perhaps under historical inaccuracies there ought to be some discussion of the statement made by the Cicero character in which he says ""A low pleb in the Senate?..."
The fact is that there were already Plebes in the Senate and, as I recall, Cicero himself was one of them. 
By the time of the events depicted in the series, the original purely Patrician character of the Senate had long been discarded.

Why, if Caesar was murdered on the Ides of March, or March 15, is the episode titled "Kalends of February", which, as I understand it, would be used to describe days prior to the 1st of February but after the 13th of January?  Is there something in this episode that I missed?  And if others are confused, should this be explained in the article?

Talk:Japanese folktales

message: So conceptually, what is the distinction between this and Japanese mythology?--88.73.60.212 (talk) 14:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Works published as Japanese folktales can potentially anthologize works from a variety of genre, even tales which aren't in a strict sense folktales. For example, the mythological story of "Sea Luck, Mountain Luck" (or Luck-of-the-Sea, etc.) is a chapter out of Kojiki. The two men were given birth by the goddess Konohanasakuya-hime, and were otherwise known as Hoderi and Hoori. Generally though Japanese mythology is a separate topic and should be kept separate.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: I'm inclined to eliminate the chunks of text contributed 20:20, 24 April 2007‎ user:Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax (not active since that year). My guess is this person just assumed that Japanese folklore must have a Buddhistic bend, and based on that premise, hunted down some books that might corroborate his thesis. Of the two books he cites, one is a translation of a collection of Japanese Buddhist story, not a book on Japanese folklore. The other title has to do with Sanskrit epics like the Mahabarata. Basically the familiar tales are all secular, and there is nothing particularly Buddhistic about them. Of course, it will reflect the old Japanese stance on life and death, or may have some evildoers get punished by the Heaven aspect, but that's baseline and not necessarily so remote from ideas held in other countries, and nothing to be particularly pointed out to in this instance. 
When he says the Journey to the West influenced the depictions of the monkey in Japanese folklore, what does he mean? Which monkey is he talking about? The one from Momotaro? Or the one from Sarukani Gassen? (The Crab and the Monkey). I am actually not seeing the close parallel in either of these. It is true that both the priest Genjo and the hero Momotaro have a trio of creatures in company with monkey included, but what of it? That type motif is omnipresent. The JtW is not close enough analogue to merit mention in this article IMO.Kiyoweap (talk) 07:24, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
