Talk:Schottky group

message: Since this refers to "inside" and "outside", and with just one Jordan curve on a sphere there's no difference, my guess is that in this case "disjoint" means that for any such curve, all of the others are on the same side; there's no "nesting".  How'm I doing so far?
Since the article titled loxodrome is about loxodromes in cartography, I suspect that's not the best place for the red link to loxodromic to point to.  But loxodromic is an adjective, so maybe loxodromic followed by some appropriate noun should be the target (?). Michael Hardy 00:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bancomat

message: I nominate the following sentence to one of the stupidest sentences on Wikipedia: "Its use is preferred over ATM in some countries because ATM has no convenient acronym expansion in the local language". Wow. The reason it's called anything else than ATM must of course be that they wanted to call it ATM, but couldn't because it didn't expand to anything meaningful in the local language. People whose native language isn't English are so awfully quaint. I won't change this since this is the en wiki, I'll leave that to one of the proud imperialists.
:Yeah, I actually wanted to write the same on reading that! Moreover, first I hear of "ATM" being used in Eastern Europe. In Poland it's definitely "bankomat" - I can't think of any equivalents in Polish. I don't know about other countries, though I know that there is a tendency in former Yugoslavian Republics to used English and English-derived words in everyday speech, especially concerning some more "modern" phenomena.

replies: text: Best bet is creator interviews as that is pretty definitive. Next best would be some analysis of the series from an article on it or something from a reliable book. Possibly suitable are reviews from reliable sources. The thing to avoid is original research - if it occurs to someone that something seems pretty similar to something else then it should be avoided unless you can find a someone reliable who has said it before otherwise it is purely the editors opinion and that isn't what Wikipedia is about.

Talk:Billing (performing arts)

message: This page started out with the practically impossible-to-remember title "Billing (filmmaking)" then was changed to the slightly less difficult "Billing (performing arts)," which still leaves someone complaining that the site makes no room for television or stage plays.  I think someone (who knows how to do it) needs to change the title again, this time to "Billing (cinema)," a title that even I could remember. I don't know about you, but that way I could find the site again myself. And it's more honest and presents more precision, revealing that the site is actually only about theatrical motion pictures, not plays or TV. Let's do it now, before the term "theatrical" unfortunately becomes mysterious to future generations. The Final Edict (talk) 12:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Quotation marks

message: I've added the bit about Henry Percy because, despite the fact that none of the cast or crew have gone on record saying that he was the inspiration for Percy, the existence of a Plantagenet-era Shakespeare character called Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, an associate/contemporary of Richard the Second seems far too similar to be written off as conincidence, especially considering the prodigious Shakespeare references throughout The Black Adder.

Talk:Richard IV of England

message: Removed these lines from the article since Flanders never was a Kingdom but a County of France, nor is there any mention in the series of a Flemish kindom:
As Richard's wife is Queen Regnant of Flanders, it is likely that Richard enjoys the title and power of King of that country, as was customary in the 15th century when a queen regnant married.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.40.193.16 (talk) 12:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Blackadder history isn't real history. In the series, Iceland has a Queen; in real history it never had a monarchy of its own. The credits for Born To Be King call Gertrude 'Gertrude, Queen of Flanders'. She can't be the wife of the Flemish king because she's married to the King of England, so she must be Queen of Flanders in her own right. Jess Cully (talk) 18:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

text: No birthdate is given in the series.  The real Richard, Duke of York was born in 1473, but this would not match the character of Richard in the series, who is a grown man with 2 sons old enough to fight in the Battle of Bosworth in 1485!  History Lunatic (talk) 01:11, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

message: While there’s a good chance that filming on the Bay Bridge is cheaper than the Golden Gate Bridge when productions are doing similar levels of interference, putting the reason for it as economic loss to the city of San Francisco seems wrong when the Bay Bridge carries over twice the volume of traffic that the Golden Gate Bridge does and filming on the Golden Gate Bridge is fairly limited in what kinds of interference it can cause (https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/90s-boy-band-scaled-Golden-Gate-Bridge-17019193.php) Fossore (talk) 21:17, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

message: Hi, With no malice or ill will, I have relocated this list here so that it can be improved. THere are several problems with it. First it is a list, and encyclopedias should generally have prose instead of lists. Second, the list not put into a useful order (e.g., chronological, by genre, etc). Thirdly, the list is completely unreferenced. If Wikipedia is to be a reliable reference source, we cannot have unreferenced lists like this. It is just too easy for jokers to add in false information. For example, I could have easily added in the false claim that John Malkovich was a script doctor for the filmPretty in Pink and it might stay in the article for YEARS, even though it is completely false.

Miremare 03:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Coldstream Guards]] 

message: The article for the character of Lord Percy Percy has been threatened with general notability. It might be an idea to try and establish wholesale notability for both of Tim McInnerny's Blackadder character by creating one article. I know that they are two separate characters (though it is never directly stated that the Darlings aren't descended from the Percys, which is my personal unimportant view), but you see the point that together they would seem more notable. I am not promoting this wholeheartedly, it is just something that has crossed my mind. Thus it would describe the Percys of The Black Adder and Blackadder II while also talking about the Darlings from Blackadder Goes Forth and Blackadder: Back & Forth. There are a few issues of course, most importantly what would the article be named (probably Lord Percy Percy with a Kevin Darling redirect). Another point of this is because currently the basic Blackadder character notability rule is that a character from two series has its own article (Melchett, Bob, etc), but Darling only appeared in one series (only ever again in a special). This way these articles would follow that rule. Though if you think about it on another level, George is more related to Percy than Darling. What does everyone think?
