message: In the Story Notes at the end of Usagi Yojimbo Fox Hunt (volume 25) Stan Sakai - who's known for his extensive research into the Japanese history, folklore, and culture that he depicts - tells a somewhat different version of the Bokuden 'no swords' fight.  Sakai's note is: "Touching a samurai's sword scabbard, even accidentally, was an offense in feudal Japan."... "He [Bokuden] was on a ferry, crossing Lake Biwa, when a shift of the boat caused a peasant to touch a samurai's scabbard.  The samurai was going to kill the terrified peasant when Bokuden intervened."... "The samurai issued a challenge to a duel to settle the matter."  In the context of the period the anecdote makes a lot more sense for the challenge to be issued by an offended samurai rather than a mannerless ruffian.Penelope Gordon (talk) 00:15, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Origins

message: "Tiffany" as it is used in the girls name and in the family name (as-in, Louis Comfort Tiffany) and then I find a definition for the word used as a common noun:
tiffany |ˌtɪfəni|, noun, thin gauze muslin. Early 17th century: from Old French tifanie, via ecclesiastical Latin from Greek theophaneia ‘epiphany.’ The word is usually taken to be short for Epiphany silk or muslin, which is a reference to that worn on Twelfth Night (holiday), but may be a humorous allusion to epiphany in the sense: manifestation; tiffany being semitransparent.

thread_title: Tiffany has meaning both as a proper noun and as a common noun

message: There is no other word that describes being an eponym.  Other than some vague animus against the use of this common term, what is the reason for deleting it?  Frankly, the fact that we are even discussing this is ridiculous; tomorrow when I have more energy I will open an RfC. Dlabtot (talk) 06:53, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Please explain why the word is not superfluous. If written as "Tiffany, the debut album of Tiffany Darwish, released on 15 September 1987", it has the exact same meaning as "Tiffany, the eponymous debut album of Tiffany Darwish, released on 15 September 1987". The extra word provides no additional information. Adding unnecessary words is very poor writing style. Or is the goal to tell the dumb readers that the word "Tiffany" is the same as the word "Tiffany"? Let's compare this to an article that has achieved "Good article" status (the very best of Wikipedia articles): The Beatles (album). Nowhere in that article is the ridiculously unnecessary word "eponymous" used. On one thing I agree with you: Frankly, the fact that we are even discussing this is ridiculous. Sundayclose (talk) 15:49, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: "Eponym" means "to be named after", so what you're suggesting is that the sentence essentially reads "Tiffany (album), the debut album named after Tiffany Darwish of Tiffany Darwish, released on 15 September 1987".

message: I reverted the Today's Politics section to the changes I had had before. To follow encyclopedia standards, I believe it is more proper to use the journalistic terms pro-abortion rights and anti-abortion rights, rather than simply pro-life and pro-abortion. The latter terms smack of political bias, as someone who supports abortion rights is not necessarily pro-abortion. For the later example, I have kept the common terms of pro-life and pro-choice for clarity and easy reading.

thread_title: Untitled

message: There are different ways in which a song can be about a film:
# A song that re-tells (part of) the story of a film (e.g. "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor based on "High Fidelity").
# A song that is about a film, but does not tell the story (e.g. Kill the Director by The Wombats.
# A song that is written for the soundtrack of a film (e.g. 9 to 5" by Dolly Parton about Nine to Five).
# A song that is written for the soundtrack of a film but does not appear on it (I think some of the songs about the Narnia films are in this category).
# A parody (e.g. "The Saga Begins" by "Weird Al" Yankovic" about Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace).
There are probably more ways songs could be categorised and some songs fit into more than one of these categories.  All these categories are interesting in some way, but it seems strange to include them all together in one list. Zabdiel (talk) 12:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems silly to me to include songs like "9 to 5", because in that case we could include almost any soundtrack song, whether or not the song title is also the movie title. I think it makes more sense to include songs that lyrically are based on a film itself.

They certainly cannot just be used as a page of nothing but fair use images. I've removed the images as they were from the article.

message: So, I ran through the article and touched up and re-wrote various things.  Mostly I just fixed the ship italicization (you italicize the ship's name, but not it's prefix, thus: EAS Lexington).  I also elaborated on some spots that needed elaborating, and tried to rephrase some akward bits.
Anyhow, I think this should be broken up into different sections, either by milestones of the conflict (ie: Martial Law and Secession), or different relevant time periods. (ie: Mid 2260-2261, for the same section).

Talk:Babylon 5 novels, short stories and comic books

message: Here's an attempt to define secondary canon:  Secondary canon is all that within the B5 universe which is otherwise sanctioned by JMS in some official capacity (i.e. published somehow (including online) so we can quote him on it), but not first broadcast on television or published on DVD.
Secondary canon can also include things like dolls and toys, but only if we can prove a link to JMS, as opposed to the uninteresting link to a studio franchise marketing department.
The reason I'm bringing up the point is:  I just stumbled across the Neil Gaiman-published script for "Day of the Dead" at Amazon as , Day of the Dead: A Babylon5 Scriptbook (Paperback).  Now, published episode scripts seem to be canon, but none of them are listed in the article.  Novelizations are listed, however.
It seems to me the published script, currently on sale, belongs in this article.  But we need a whole Scripts section if we do that, and there's a problem with the article title.  —Aladdin Sane (talk) 16:30, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Memory of Shadows

message: I saw the link, JMS says that the story will not be published, was deleted from the external links.  Looking at the source, I think it is valid for the article.  The reason I think so, is because it attributes specific words to JMS.  Online sites don't do that unless those are JMS' words they're attributing.  Reason:  'Everyone knows' JMS has a habit of tracking down and stomping misrepresentations of his words when he finds them online.  This has been going on for over a decade that I know of:  Words attributed to JMS are JMS' words.  Or else someone gets hurt.  Bad.
If someone knows these are not JMS' words, I'd certainly like to know that, as well.  —Aladdin Sane (talk) 00:11, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Decan

message: I've added the hieroglyphs and the names from Budge (hopefully I transcribed it correctly).  But Budge is kind of outdated, so if anybody has a better source then please go ahead and check to see that Budge got things right (and hile you're at it, maybe go and fix the transliterations to something more current).
Also, I've moved Budge's Ptolemaic forms (hieroglyphic and Coptic) to the "Graeco-Egyptian" column, but I kept the Gundel stuff that was already there.  But I'm not entirely sure that Gundel's order and Budge's order are entirely in synch.  Most of it seems to match, but nicely, but I don't know what's up with decan #9 and it looks like there's some confusion especially in the decans of Pisces, Aquarius, and Aries. (And in Taurus, it looks like Budge even contradicts himself for decans 4 and 5. Ārt should be paired with ⲉⲣⲱ, ⲁⲣⲟⲩ, while Khau should be paired with ⲭⲱⲟⲩ.)
Also, Budge's list has 37 decans rather than 36.  Not really sure what's going on (looks like he split Sah in two) but I've added a row for that. 73.133.224.40 (talk) 19:07, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Yet the table immediately below shows current (?) Decan 1 beginning with Aries, not Leo. This quasi-sentence needs editing for clarity, agreement, and possible correction since "heliacal rising" is taken to occur at sunrise, not sunset. 2001:5A8:4610:2000:DC0F:DEA6:9D06:EA99 (talk) 19:03, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
