Talk:Taniquetil

message: The mount of Taniquetil is considered to be the most holiest mountains in all of Ea (according to the Valaquenta).  Upon its peak sits the castle of Manwe and Varda who can seek out virtually everthing that moves in Arda; save for Melkor whose hidden fortress of Utumno eludes the watchful eyes of King Manwe.  It is upon this mountain that a great feast was held by the Valar during the Days of the Two Trees.  During that great party, Melkor and the spider-beast Ungoliant snuck into Valmar, chief city of Valinor, and literally poisened the Two Trees of Telperion and Laurelin, killing them and plunging Aman and Arda into darkness.  This disaster caused the flighting of the Noldor from Valinor and the approaching Wars of Beleriand; thus ending the Days of the Two Trees and bringing forth the First Age of Middle-earth.  --66.129.75.220 12:58, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Sources

message: I have to admit I'd never heard of this guy before today. I found this article while cleaning up :Category:Chilean people and added a few more categories here. I didn't want to overcat it, but since this guy moved around so much, some of these cats are arguable. For example, his poetry began in Venezuela, so :Category:Venezuelan poets is warranted, but he continued to write poetry and other works in England (but not Chile?). Surely, after 19 years in England he would have nationalized and again in Chile where he was senator, but his expatriation/nationalization is not explicitly mentioned. Should we just go by the nationality he had at the time he began certain types of work? The lede sentence tends to hinge all those -ists on Venezuela, yet there is no :Category:Venezuelan humanists, and the closest thing I could find for academia is :Category:Venezuelan schoolteachers, which might not really be appropriate. Suggestions anyone? Ruodyssey (talk) 09:58, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: He was more than just a poet or academic, he was the first person ever to write the Spanish Language Grammar, which later turned into the basics for the RAE (Real Academia Española, or Royal Academy of Spanish Language). I'm Venezuelan, and if American people don't know who Andres Bello was, I can describe him to you as one of the most important figures for the progress of the Spanish language, as there may be some other relevant historical characters in English language. This should be in the article, and it should also have a category like "Spanish grammar funders" or something like that if you ask me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.184.72.137 (talk) 03:27, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Konkokyo

message: :My little sister lives in Southern Japan at present. I've recently been curious on what's deemed a new religion and why. It sounds like these Konkokyo people have been around since the mid-1800s. Is this "new" because Japan is a much older society than the US? Or is it "new" because it dates from after the opening to the West by Commodore Perry? Also I'm thinking of adding more links, to allow for non-Konkokyo sites, if that's acceptable.--T. Anthony 05:10, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved this to Japanese religion. Japanese religions much newer than this one, and just as international, were at that category. Added to that Konkokyo looks to only be a couple decades younger than Tenriikyo which is not at "NRM", but is at "Japanese religion." Although if anyone feels it's better to have Konkokyo in both NRM and JR that's no problem. I've never even met a member.--T. Anthony 16:11, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Any comments are welcome. Is this explanation clear enough?

message: Isn't Konkokyo a type of Kyoha (Sect) Shinto?  Should this info be added, and/or should this article be under the Shinto category?
Yes, Konkokyo is a form of Shinto, but only technically so. The new article text about links to Shinto states it correctly.

Talk:Max Müller

message: We Indians who understand Sanskrit and English alike can see what a blasphemous mistranslation Muller has done.
Yet there is not a single mention of how his translation was funded by the British Empire to demean Indian Cultural Heritage. 
Anyone seeking an English Translation of the Vedas should strictly avoid Max Muller works.
There should be mention that the word Arya means a man of good conduct, a respectable man and not a race as popularized by fake Muller propaganda leading to Hitler's atrocities and Indian Cultural appropriation misrepresenting Indian symbols like swastika, etc.

:Turok predates Ka-Zar by at least a decade. -Sean Curtin 02:47, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically speaking Ka-Zar is the first Marvel hero, predating even Sub-Mariner and the Human Torch - predating Turok by two decades. However, the idea of a savage (if you were to consider Turok a savage, and I wouldn't) in a hidden valley of dinosaurs did appear in Turok before that concept appeared as the Savage Land in early X-Men issues. Considering Ka-Zar's pulp origins, I should mention that Turok was more than likely not the first to have a hidden valley of dinosaurs either. All that said, the original version of Ka-Zar was clearly an immitation of Tarzan. - Kevingarcia 06:18, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The article is still pretty bad (unsourced and contradictory), but I trust it is somewhat less terrible than 24 hours ago. I've moved info around to group it together. I haven't deleted much, but have let the contradictions sit side by side. Perhaps someone with access to sources will feel moved to improve it further. There are huge gaps - as pointed out above, the Soviet Union knew a thing or two about apartments. And what of European cities such as Paris, where the pre WWII centres are essentially one big block of flats, with shops and businesses at ground level.

Talk:Dorney Park

message: What is wrong here?
Well, I worked there for one summer - didn't seem that large.
I removed the following, which was tacked on after the statement about the building of a new wave pool:  
:"Also, the old building which housed the (closed) Gold Mine walk-through and arcade, as well as a Subway and other food stands on the lower level is being removed for a new Subway restaurant and seating area." 
Frankly, I have no idea what building this statement is referring to, and I have been to Dorney Park many, many times.  I can only imagine what people who have never been to the park would think.  If someone could find a better way to restate this, it might be okay; but then again, I question whether a new Subway resturant is worthy being mentioned in this article.

There is no cited source for any of these claims, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Telecommunications is dead so I get no reply if I ask there... why should LATAs (as opposed to exchange code protection schemes and seven-digit calling) restrict the re-use of a prefix in some other area code?

message: I believe that there needs to be some changes made for the "Reception" section in this article. To write that fans love the album and that Allmusic is the only professional review site to find it poor is not enough, and an over-long statement that this is a good album doesn't prove very much. Rather, it makes it seem like it was written by a dedicated fan to prove that it isn't bad. After all, there is barely anything else in the article to prove it, the only other thing being a Rolling Stone review.
There needs to be more sources. Don't just state that it's good and leave it like that, give negative and positive reviews equal space. I'm asking for other people's help because I don't know of many critic's/review sites.
