Talk:Prince of Darkness

message: My feeling is that Prince of Darkness should redirect to Satan and that the CD box set should sit at Prince of Darkness (album).  However, the Satan article does not have an origin statement for the alternative title 'Prince of Darkness', though it can be inferred from other historical references in the article. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 16:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it is helpful, PoD in Latin is Princeps Tenebrarum, which can be found in the poem (song) Rhytmus de die mortis by Pietro Damiani, as well as in a sermon by Bernard of Clairvaux. Apparently it also occurs in the Descensus ad Infernos appendix to the Acts of Pilate, specifically in the first sentence of IV (XX), but I couldn't find an online Latin text.  --LambiamTalk 19:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

: That's just silly.  In England, the title of Prince has conventionally been conferred on the monarch's sons, but more generally a prince is a hereditary ruler such as a king. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:29, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Something higher?

message: I have removed the following list of people allegedly associated with this nickname.

replies: text: I understand that WP:BLP is VERY IMPORTANT, but you removed a few deceased (i.e., not living) people there, not to mention Hades and Dracula, neither of whom I think are planning on suing Wikimedia anytime in the foreseeable future.

Talk:Belgian Royal Escort

message: I think that this article, in order to ensure linguistic neutrality, should be moved to Belgian Royal Escort. The French name of the Royal Escort is "Escorte Royale", while the Dutch name is "Koninklijk Escorte", and I believe it would be unfair to give precedence to the French name over the Dutch one, especially if it can be properly translated to English. --Ganchelkas 16:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Asian giant softshell turtle

message: Much of the text of this article was lifted verbatim from the World Chelonian Trust, ARKive, and Reptile Database Web sites.  I've attempted to remove much of this plagiarism.  Also, the two news articles of May 2007 indicate that the turtle may survive only along that 30-mile stretch of the Mekong. The edit of 11:17, May 16, 2007 made it seem as if the turtle were still widely abundant in throughout Cambodia.  I've tried to clarify that.  Lastly, I'm merely a turtle fan and not a scientific expert.  This article deserves an expert's attention. - Tim1965 16:34, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Marcus Antonius Gnipho

replies: text: I don't think there's any way of telling. Of the variouys MAs we know about, MA Orator looks like the best candidate in terms of date, but there could easily have been others of the same date we don't know about. According to Smith's Dictionary  there are Marci Antonii going back to 334 BC. --Nicknack009 19:56, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Fortune

message: An Overview of Rosa Fortuniana Root Stock  by By Dona Inglish (sic), Mesa East Valley Rose Society ...
Rosa fortuniana was discovered in Ninghpo, China, by Robert Fortune around 1848.  Also known as Double Cherokee, this rose was sent to the Royal Horticultural Society in London.  While fortuniana bushes had superior root systems, they had difficulty with the harsh English climate.  With the exchange of horticultural information during the 19th and early 20th centuries, it is believed that rosa fortuniana made its way to America and Australia sometime around 1903.  When short of other stock, a rose grower near Perth, Australia, decided to bud some varieties onto fortuniana. As the vigor and floriferousness of this new combination became apparent, its popularity spread.

Talk:Takydromus haughtonianus

message: Beolens, Watkins & Grayson in their book, The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles (2011), write that this species is named after "Major-General Henry Lawrence Haughton (1883–1955)". The Reptile Database repeats this assertion. Such an etymology is impossible because Jerdon named the species in 1870, 13 years before the baby who would become the Major-General was born. Jerdon states that the holotype was sent to him by "Mr. H.L. Haughton", without any military rank as a prefix. The father of the Major-General was Lieutenant-Colonel John Haughton. In a biography, Lieutenant-Colonel John Haughton, Commandant of the 36th Sikhs, a Hero of Tirah, a Memoir, by Major A.C. Yate (1900), Yate writes on page 89, "His son (christened Henry Lawrence, after his youngest brother) was born on November 1 [1883]." I suggest that it might have been this uncle H.L. Haughton who sent the specimen to Jerdon, and after whom Jerdon named this species. Lyttle-Wight (talk) 14:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Craspedocephalus malabaricus

message: " Anal scale entire. Subcaudals paired and numbering 50-63 in males, 44-54 in females. Internasals large and usually touching." This strikes me as three sentence fragments, and this layperson's inclination is to complete them with verbs, probably "are." But I thought I'd post a question here about it first; maybe this is typical and acceptable in scientific discussion. Dgndenver (talk) 09:40, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Under section Conservation there is a statement that " Malay "kampung" boys and young working class Malay men often catch and kill water monitors for their own amusement". Apart from not explaining what kampung means, this is a racial slur without substantiation and so should be removed. I would be interested if anyone could provide evidence of a higher prevalence of monitor killing in Malaysia compared to any other country, but I do not think there is any justification for an assertion that country people or people of Malay ancestry should be singled out as responsible.

Category talk:Fan fiction

message: User:Tregowith added the category Copyright infringement with the comment "technically, it is" on Jan. 23, 2006.  I just removed it, because, no, actually, technically it is undecided whether fanfic is copyright infringement or not.  As a genre, it is arguably fair use or even de minimis in some instances.  But each individual work of fanfic would be assessed, individually, based on the underlying work, and the work of fanfic.  So AT BEST this article should be listed under "copyright law" category, not infringement. I would say that even that is actually just bad categorization, though. Not all fanfic relates to fictional characters, or fictional characters with IP. See fanfic re: New Kids on the Block, Pride & Prejudice for example.  If you want to write an article on fanfic issues and copyright, I'll help out, but this cat should only apply to an article specifically about copyright & fanfic, not the entire generic category of fanfic.  I'm posting this on Tregowith's user page & the Cat talk: Fan fiction page since I'm reversing a Jan. 2006 change in Nov. 2006. --LQ 17:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Discuss and Vote

message: So, basically, you're proposing the following changes:
#That deletion and featuring processes may not be decided against the majority except in case of campaigning or vote stacking.
#That all policy and guidelines henceforth be ratified through voting, including except those policies imposed by Jimbo and the Board, which only need a vote to see if they're improvable.
#That requests for adminship and arbcom elections are decided by supermajority vote.
#That developers pay explicit attention to the amount of people backing a feature request.
#That campaiging for votes on deletion and featuring processes be endorsed and encouraged.
Is that broadly correct? (Radiant) 17:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposal

message: The place to discuss this is at the existing Wikipedia:Discuss, don't vote.  We have had enough trouble lately with new proposals which run completely counter to established practice; experience indicates that all we will get here is a fight between experienced Wikipedians and, most likely, a small coterie of the disgruntled who have fallen foul of existing practice.  As written it is not only an invitation to vote-stacking, it would also provide for mob rule to override fundamental policies.  AfD closure should continue to be    Clue-based, not a vote count.

replies: text: *I'm not sure I like your comment here.  It seems kind of elitist to say that policy which is accepted by the "experienced" being challenged by the "disgruntled" is somehow damaging to Wikipedia.  I understand not a democracy, but these policies are not meant to be eternal and undebatable, either.  The whole point of the project is that everybody's opinion, on some level, counts.  If someone can come up with a flawless argument against an existing policy, that policy should be changed, because since this is not a democracy, things do not stay because they are accepted by most people.  If somebody has a new proposal, we should always listen.    --Tractorkingsfan 12:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
