message: "In the English language, there are 33 Vowel sounds." Rubbish. You can't count the number of vowel sounds in a language; first, because different dialects have different numbers; second, because each vowel may have an indefinite number of minute variations. What you can count is the number of vowel phonemes. The variety of British English that I speak has 21 vowel phonemes. All American English varieties have considerably fewer, some as few as ten. No variety at all, British, American or any other, has more than 25, let alone 33. 91.105.8.168 (talk) 00:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bullshit alert 

message: They almost certainly got this part wrong.
For "cat" there are 2 words, "cat(t)us" and "felis"; felis being the (european)wildcat and catus being the domestic cat.
"Cattus" most likely is borrowed from Egyptians (who first domesticated the cat).
And dog simply is canis (see: Cave canem).
The notion that the English language "cat", the German "Katze"  for "Felis catus"/cat derive from the latin word for "Canis lupus familiaris"/dog is very strange - especially since there is no evidence FOR it, only indication AGAINST it.
The Latin "catula" has indeed the meaning "little dog", but on the other hand "catulus" can mean "boy" or "smart".
Just because it sound/looks similar doesn't mean it is.
And QI has been shown to be wrong in the past. -92.227.70.138 (talk) 19:38, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that there was some commentary in the article that belongs on the talk page instead. The text I moved from the "Design Flaws" section  follows:
:->Color LCD screens are only visible with the light on, so it's unclear how that counts as a design flaw.  What was problematic was that when the light went off, and you pressed a key to turn it back on, the phone acted on that key press as normal, so for instance if there was an alert message on the screen and the light went off, then you pressed the End key, that would both turn the light back on and dismiss the message.

message: Adapting an anime, which was originally really a fiction novel doesn't make it a work of fantasy literacy.

Having said that, I haven't watched this series at all to give an informed decision.

Talk:Manoel Theatre

message: Hi Marcus1234 - thanks for your help editing this page.  I've restored the reference to the annexation of Palazzo Bonici because I think it is of interest to several groups of readers, especially architecture buffs, students of Baroque art and architecture, historians, etc.  This annexation was the most significant "intervention" / alteration in the original design, layout and use of the theatre. 
There is an interesting subtext to the Palazzo Bonici passage.  It is the story of how the devastation of WWII radically changed the look, life and vibe of Valletta, with the nobility, upper middle class and monied residents fleeing to the suburbs.  The Bonici family was no exception.  To my knowledge, the only Valletta residence that family maintained after the War was a grand townhouse on Brittannia (now Melita) street.  Perhaps the "evacuation" of Valletta should be stated more explicitly either in this article or in the "Valletta" article.  
More importantly, this is also a reference to the wholesale, and mostly unfair expropriation and "requisitioning" of private property by the Labour government of the 1970s.  This created an absolute legal nightmare for later governments and for successive generations of the heirs of the landowners, a mess which is still being fought out in Maltese and European courts today.  The Manoel Theatre page seemed to me to be an appropriate place to introduce an oblique (indirect) reference to this phenomenon, because the theatre lobby, still today houses a marble plaque, worded solely in Maltese, which glowingly recalls how the government and people of Malta took possession of this noble palace for the greater good and enjoyment of the people.  It is a fabulous piece of propaganda which includes a reference to former cabinet minister Alex Sciberras Trigona, and it reads as though there was some Socialist revolution in Malta - which of course, never happened!  To my knowledge, the Manoel Theatre is the only (or certainly the most prominent) place in Malta where government attempted to make political capital through the unfair and widespread expropriations.  In my article, I have tried refer to this phenomenon in an unbiased, dispassionate manner.  
What are your views?
