Talk:Shíshálh

message: Tyronejoemayes (talk) 17:57, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Also posted on Talk:Sechelt Indian Band - perhaps keep any discussion in one place, there 
Should this article now be at shíshálh Nation, as in the text? That term is currently a redirect to shíshálh. I am not knowledgeable in this field, just saw this page again and wondered (I was alerted to a link from Sechelt to the tems swiya Museum page I'd created a while back, and noticed a lot of piped links on that page, so wondered.)  
Or should the two pages be merged, or at least more clearly linked to each other? 
I won't be joining in the discussion, as a total outsider to a sensitive area.

Talk:Out of This World (British TV series)

thread_title:  Minerals 

message: A more thorough and hands-on description of the combustion procedures is desirable. In some cases the procedure may be as simple as igniting the crucible for a certain time at a certain temperature, but what about samples that start burning with flames that can easily carry away the ash particles? Is a crucible lid enough to reduce the rate of combustion to prevent this? Will the combustion usually be completed at reasonable temperatures in air or are persistent carbon remains a common problem? What about volatile ash contents e.g. Sb2O3? The inorganic contents of the ash are often reaction products. Will there in general be a well defined endpoint or is it common that the reactions have difficulty reaching completion leading to poor reproducibility?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.227.15.253 (talk) 10:10, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Hurlbat

message: Gents, I would still like a source that tells me about hurlbats being in use in Europe during the late Middle Ages or the early Modern Era. Trigaranus (talk) 23:43, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  Most sources define "hurlbat" or "whirlbat" as any object thrown or swung with a whirling or circular motion.  The depiction of the word as a specific type of object and its description as "a ranged weapon" causes me to think this was "borrowed" from a role-playing game and has no real factual basis. 71.200.134.47 (talk) 12:07, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

text: Contrary to the reason for removal of the dispute template, the disputed material has not been deleted, "provisorically" (not an actual word) or any other way.  The dispute is that a hurlbat is generically ANY object thrown, usually in a circular motion (a stance supported by several dictionaries), which is in opposition to the thrust of this article which insists that it is a specific type of axe.  The article is completely unsourced, and makes suspiciously specific statements about the nature of the item ("six millimeters thick") without support.  The first of two external links is stated to be about axe throwing; this is false, the site is about all manually powered projectiles, and nowhere is the word "hurlbat" used in the entire site.  The second external link is to a school project created by students, contains no verifiable sources, and no explanation of where the rather crude drawing originated or what factual evidence led to its creation.  The sorts of sites that I would normally consider as "backups" in lieu of more qualified scholarly exposition are myarmoury.com  and the ARMA website, provide limited help: myarmoury.com has no information regarding hurlbats at all, and the only use of the word at ARMA is in a user forum thread that provides no basis for the use of the term.  IMO this article is a candidate for AfD, as the little information it provides appears to be entirely spurious. 12.233.146.130 (talk) 22:53, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Nzappa zap

message: I just ran a Google search and ALL of the hits are either based on this article or are random mentions in various gamer forums.  Is this a real kind of axe or is this article a practical joke?  This article needs to be supported by references to books about axes, or else it should be deleted.  --Coolcaesar 20:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes this is a real axe. However, this axe was actually called kilonda by the Songye and the Nsapo, not "Nzappa Zap". "Nzappa Zap" seems to be a mistranslation of Nsapo Nsapo, which is a cultural group rather than the name of an axe. The name "Nzappa Zap" seem to originate from a show called "Forged In Fire" on the American History Channel. This article should be moved with the name of the axe changed and the references to the American History Channel removed and replaced with better sources. On another note, there is an article on German Wikipedia that can be used as a model and is much more accurate https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilonda --OmarTheKingFr (talk) 15:17, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Ontario Film Review Board

message: New to editing Wikipedia, so let me know if I am out of line here. Suggestions appreciated. 
The article notes "Not a Love Story" was banned, based on a media report. This is a widely circulated story. Banning implies that the Board viewed the film, and pronounced it unacceptable. In fact the Board never viewed the film. It was submitted to the Board for review by the Ontario Film and Video Appreciation Society (OFAVAS), a group of artists, as a test case. The Board refused to view the film. This is not the same as a refusal to certify as done in some jurisdictions - there was never any question of the refusal to view affecting distribution, as no one in Ontario was actually planning to exhibit the film publicly.  
OFAVAS took the Board to court, challenging the refusal to view the film, as well as the ratings on three other films, on constitutional grounds. The court ruled that the Board did not violate the constitution as "Not a Love Story" had not been submitted for commercial distribution, and that the Board was not obligated to perform hypothetical reviews. The judge noted "the applicants were seeking permission to show a film they did not own and which they had no right to exhibit." The full details are in the court ruling, which I believe is fully cited as "Ontario Film and Video Appreciation Society v. Ontario Board of Censors (1983), 41 O.R. (2d) 583, 147 D.L.R. (3d) 58, 34 C.R. (3d) 73 (Div. Ct.); affirmed (1984), 45 O.R. (2d) 80, 2 O.A.C. 388, 5 D.L.R. (4th) 766 (C.A.)"
So, it seems misleading to perpetuate the notion that the Board banned the film. Ideally, the article could mention both the myth and the court case...but then it might also be wise to include the other films, the outcome of the court case (OFAVAS won on one of the four films), and so on.  thoughts?  thanks, --Trcovell (talk) 22:17, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:P.A.'s Lounge

message: Regarding notability ("a topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself"), a number of news items specifically on PA's have appeared, as its emergence as a music venue has brought a lot of people to the neighborhood who would almost certainly never go there otherwise.  Given the current business/cultural/demographic shifts mounting in the square, this is not insignificant. One example:
* Morse, Steve. "Union Square Wakes Up At Night." Boston Globe,  July 25, 2002. Solely deals with PA's as new venue in local music circuit. 
::"The latest club to join Union Square's live entertainment scene is PA's Lounge, a funky, non-upscale spot right up the street from Tir na nOg and not far from the more chic Independent," etc.
I'll post more when I find them, but they do appear with some regularity. 
There is more that can be said as well, as currents in venues have a great impact on the state of the local rock 'n' roll community.  The emergence of smaller venues such as the Abbey Lounge, Great Scott, and PA's has filled a certain void for smaller, unsigned acts incapable or unwilling to endeavor to fill rooms like the Middle East.  
Is this too narrow a scope in which to judge notability?  Massachusetts 20:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think P.A.'s certainly is notable enough to qualify for inclusion. It has very recently become a much talked about  underground venue for acts both legendary and new. If bookings continue as they are much more will be heard about P.A.'s. Inoculatedcities 00:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
