text: The most recent biography of Hickok, Tom Clavin's "Wild Bill: The true story of the American frontier's first gunfighter" (St. Martin's Press, New York, 2019) makes no mention whatsoever of any alleged petrification. While Clavin reports Utter's return three years after Hickok's burial to supervise the movement of the body, there is no trustworthy evidence that the coffin was opened. The Coronado Mercury edition of 17 May 1888 (almost ten years after the reburial) reported that it had been opened, but cited no sources. Jesseallenchampion (talk) 11:32, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Template 

message: I see a couple of influential genres are mentioned in the article. I agree on doom metal, indie rock, progressive metal but I don't understand why new age is mentioned. New age to me is keyboard laden music made for meditating/relaxing. With artist like  Enya or maybe Vangelis or even the nameless CD's that can be bought at The Body Shop etc. with crappy titles like "The Sounds of the Sea" and other CD's chockfull of keyboards, singing birds and flowing rivulets. motW were not doing that, were they?
When listening to motW I hear more notable influences. Like death and black metal (songs like "They Aren't All Beautiful" (Bath) or "Riseth He.." (Leaving Your Body Map)). Sometimes I hear jazz and classical music listening to the chord progressions and arrangements/use of instruments (songs like Interlude 4 (Leaving Your Body Map)).

"Midwestcon is an annual science fiction convention held in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. The first Midwestcon was held in 1950 and it has taken place every year since, making it the longest running annual SF con occuring in the same location.

Talk:Contraction of am not

message: Seems to me that "ain't" should have its own article, given that well over half of the uses of "ain't" in Contraction of am not are not, in fact, contractions of "am not", but rather the other contractions of "ain't", such as "is not", "have not", etc. I'd propose leaving the relevant "ain't" stuff here with the "amn't" stuff, and moving the rest to a new Ain't article.

replies: text: Okay, that makes sense. But since most of the content of this article doesn't relate to its title, shouldn't there be two articles - one that talks only about contractions of "am not", and one that talks about the various contractions of "ain't"?

Talk:Scholar (disambiguation)

message: The current page doesn't seem to say very much, it might be more useful to simply redirect to "Academic", which references 'scholar' anyway... Thoughts? - Ranglin 02:15, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: agree and will set about it Mayumashu 15:39, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Please remember that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so the right question to ask about the redirect is not "is scholarship identical with academia?" (obviously not), or whether the words are synonymous, but rather whether someone looking up "scholar" in an encyclopedia would be better served by a completely separate article on this marginally distinguishable topic, or by reading an already well-developed one on academia.  Consolidating similar topics is a good idea; there's no need to fragment Wikipedia into a host of overlapping articles. -- Rbellin|Talk 01:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: According to the book Rediscovering Confucianism by the Swedish sinologist and philosopher Torbjörn Lodén, the title of this work is to be spelled 資治通鑑 in Chinese. Both the character 鑑 and the character 鑒 are simplified to 鉴, so the difference is subtle (actually just a matter of where you place the radical and different parts of the phoneticum), but which character is the original? Yenx 21:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Meanwhile, it is my opinion that since the meaning of Zizhi Tongjian is not completely unambiguous, the title should remain untranslated, although the implications can be explained in the article.  --Nlu (talk) 05:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
