Talk:Magus (comics)

message: Why the same dual identity?  Is this a historical reference to some Warlock/Magus duality in either fiction or legend?  - Darkhawk

thread_title: Magus/Warlock

message: The Magus first appears live in Strange Tales 181, not Warlock 11.  The Magus is erased from the pages of time in Warlock 11, but he had already been seen by readers first in Strange Tales 181 and then in Warlocks 9 & 10.  The picture you have featured on the side comes from ST 181 when on the last page the Magus announces to Warlock "I am the true Magus."  He's dropping his Wizard of Oz disguise now to reveal himself before Warlock so that he can summon he In-Betweener.  Someone made a mistake putting the number Warlock 11 next to that picture.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.29 (talk) 02:35, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Australian radio said today he was born in Britain to Australian parents. He seemed to have had Australian citizenship which also explains his later return because aged care might not have been available for him in Britain. Another prominent Australian, Germaine Greer, also lived most of her life in Britain but returned to Australia in agend care. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:41F0:6645:5DA5:87A9 (talk) 04:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ambiguity of origin 

message: The infobox gives "1953–1986". Was he still performing in 1986? The only significant event after 1965 seems to be his contracting pneumonia in 1986, which meant be could not sing or yodel. But the article also suggests that he recovered, so perhaps he performed again after this? Martinevans123 (talk) 07:28, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Ifield was more than a singer. He was, amongst other things, a talent spotter and radio and TV host. The "years active" should reflect all these roles, and close out when he stopped doing any "work". WWGB (talk) 10:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, of course. It's just that there seems to be nothing currently in the article, even unsourced, that supports this date. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:06, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

text: And the 1991 dance remix of "She Taught Me How to Yodel" wasn't really "Ifield returning", it was the song returning as a re-mix. Still unable to find any evidence of what he was doing between 1965 and 1986. The article says: "He and Bowden divorced in 1988 and he returned to Sydney to live." But I see that the source for that claim also says: "" So maybe we could use 1997, regardless of what he did in between? Martinevans123 (talk) 10:27, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Frantz's (note the correct spelling) role having been danced en travesti, not "drag," as you so crassly put it, is actually a relevant part of the play's history - that such a convention existed for a given play for eighty years (if only in Paris) is clearly valuable knowledge.  Mary Martin, of course, acted the part of Peter Pan en travesti for many years; no one thought the worse of that, and it's often mentioned in popular-audience accounts of the play's history.

replies: text: OK, thanks.  However, in my clean up of the article, I removed pianist as the very first description of him.  He's best known as a singer and actor; being a pianist is the last thing most people think of him as, and for people who don't know his work, putting pianist first is very misleading.

Talk:We Will Rock You (video)

message: The hatnote on this article currently says "This article is about the 1981 version of the concert film. For the 2007 concert film/live album of the same concert, see Queen Rock Montreal."  However:
* the Queen Rock Montreal article linked is primarily about the album version.  There are some comments about the film, but the album is the main focus.
* this article (We Will Rock You (video)) has been edited to the extent that it is now mainly about the 2007 video.  Not even the release date of the 1981 edition is mentioned.
I would propose that this article be revised to contain information about both versions of the video, and the album version be left as is.  This follows the pattern set by Queen at Wembley and Live at Wembley '86.

replies: text: Just because you can cite something doesn't mean it has any basis in fact. This is particularly true with magazines like Aviation Week that regularly publish rumors about Aviation Black Projects, and often ends up being wrong.

replies: text: Australian Consolidated Press is not a direct predecessor to Are Media. While there is a directly traceable coroporate succession between the two, their assets are quite different with many brands discontinued and others acquired.

The brands discontinued have occurred within periods of ownership, i.e. new owners have bought the business in full and then closed certain titles. Likewise acquisitions have been made independently of changes of ownership, e.g. Pacific Magazines.

message: A few months ago, User:65.96.92.140 added: "Several critics have posited that the work is largely an allegorical representation of, and commentary on, fascist political movements of the mid Cold War, East Germany most specifically." Citation was to Strobel, Katja. Wandern, Mäandern, Erzählen: Die Pikara als Grenzgängerin des Subjekt. Munich, Germany: Fink. 1998. 
I'm not going to mess with this verifiably cited claim, but does anyone else find it a little bit goofy? Literary scholars love to make far-fetched, speculative connections -- that's how they get tenure -- but having this particular one in a very brief article on this book seems unfair to the high school student who is trying to write a book report on "Rubyfruit Jungle". Couldn't it be something like, "Literary critics have applied a wide variety of readings to this novel, among others, that..." 
That being said, if in fact this is a mainstream and plausible view among Rita Mae Brown experts, I withdraw the comment.
