Talk:The Changing of the Guard (The Twilight Zone)

message: The article has a tag 'Discouraging Trivia Sections' -- however, in this article, what has been included as trivia may be one of the most important bits of the article: 
: The quote Professor Fowler reads on the statue's plinth, “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity,” is the motto of Rod Serling’s alma mater Antioch College, and was said by its first president, Horace Mann. Serling accepted a teaching post there after completing this script.
it gives a motive for why Rod Serling may have written this episode, and reveals something Serling believes, and out of which he acts. In this case, I think it would be a serious ommision to remove this bit of 'trivia'. It could probably head the article, or perhaps even Rod Serling's bio.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnrpenner (talk • contribs) 21:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Willis Green

message: It may be that this article suffers from confusion between the Willis Green who was born in the Shenandoah Valley and his son of the same name who was born near Danville. I believe that Willis Green the Congressman is the son of Willis Green the Kentucky pioneer. Following is the information I have on Willis Green, the elder:
Willis Green, who was born and grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, explored beyond the Blue Ridge in what was called the Kentucky territory. After the Revolutionary War, with his two brothers, Henry and William, he located land warrants in Kentucky, the oldest half-brother, John, having inherited most of his father's estate in Virginia under the law of primogeniture. Willis was elected a delegate from Kentucky to the Virginia Legislature in 1783, and he was a member of the conventions that framed the first and second Constitutions of Kentucky. He was Register of the Land Office and Clerk of the Lincoln County Court from 1783 to 1816.
Willis was the son of Duff Green and Ann Willis (who was the daughter of Col. Henry Willis, the founder of Fredericksburg, Virginia). Willis Green married Sarah Reed. Willis and Sarah, of Scotch-Irish descent, were born and reared in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and were married near Danville, Kentucky, in 1783. This is said to have been the first Christian marriage in Kentucky.
Willis had come to Kentucky in a surveying party, and had located for himself a tract of several thousand acres that struck his fancy a mile or two from the Danville settlement. Here he built, between 1797 and 1800, the fine large brick house for years called Waveland. The Willis Greens had an even dozen children, born and raised at Waveland.
Willis Green represented Kentucky County in the Virginia Legislature, and later served also in Kentucky's own Legislature. He held office, too, as clerk of the court of Lincoln County, which then included Danville and what is now Boyle County. History books note that he held other various important trusts and was one of the early valuable men of the Kentucky country.  Pops (talk) 09:59, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:The Grave (The Twilight Zone)

message: This episode reads like it was inspired by a very old Russian folk tale in which a young man is dared to prove his manhood and thus win a girl by driving a sword into the ground in front of a statue in a cemetery.  As it is Russia, it is of course very cold and snowy.  The sword goes through the mans coat and he freezes to death.  The girl that he wanted to attract was the person to discover him there as she must pass through the cemetery everyday on her way to work.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.47.47.189 (talk) 16:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This is in response to your comments, "I am adding but a footnote. I have followed all your guidelines but my entry on the hitchhicker still seems to get deleted. I am very new to posting but it seems that each time you delete my entry you change the reason that you are doing so. Please advise."
First bit of advice:  Create a user page, and then sign your comments so that people don't have to track you down to respond to your request for advice.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "I have followed all your guidelines."  First of all, they're not my guidelines.  They're Wikipedia's guidelines.  Second of all, Wikipedia has guidelines on notability and self-promotion (see WP:NOTE and WP:SPIP for reference), and your footnote doesn't seem to follow either set of guidelines.  Third of all, your comment that "each time you delete my entry you change the reason that you are doing so" is complete nonsense, considering that I have deleted your entry only once.  Perhaps you are confused because you have attempted to add this information before, and other people have deleted it?  If that's the case, I again refer you to Wikipedia's guidelines on notability and self-promotion, so you can see why people are doing this.  In either case, your assumption that I've been the one deleting your info is neither accurate nor logical.  Minaker (talk) 00:09, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree. The continuing references to slavery cause this article to read more like a jeremiad than an encyclopedia entry. It is notable that Freeman appointed the first black man (Henry Flipper) to graduate from West Point.

Talk:1959 United States Grand Prix

message: The article says "For the first time in nine years, three drivers had the chance to win the championship in the last race."

replies: text: The 1956 article is wrong. Even though he was only 8 points behind Fangio, Behra could not win the championship. Because a driver could only count their best 5 scores, Behra's maximum points total was 27 points and Fangio already had 30. DH85868993 (talk) 07:33, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:The Masks

message: I removed the following statement from the article which I believe to be original research.
::If you look closely, you will see that the episode is a transposition of Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death."
Having not seen this episode, I am unable to actually "look closely" but any similarities to The Masque of the Red Death are probably more coincidental than anything. Here the stroke of midnight sees only one character die (instead of all). Where "The Masque" has indiscriminate death from a plague, "The Masks" has very specific, nonlethal judgment. Even the apparent similarities of the names represents a misreading - while the revelers in Poe's tale wore nondescript masks, "The Masque" refers to the gathering itself, and the masks do not play an important role in the story.
I'm not saying it's not debatable, just that at this time there's insufficient evidence to render such a judgment. --BDD 00:28, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Moments earlier, De Cruz has asked Brooks to drive and Brooks has vehemently refused, demanding that De Cruz drive instead.  I think the strong implication here is that Brooks has secretly cut the brake lines, and thereby hopes to kill De Cruz, whom he obviously doesn't trust.  However, this is never actually confirmed in the episode, so I didn't put it in the article.
