Talk:Arachne

message: The "In popular culture" section for this article is a complete bloated mess. I needs to be seriously whittled down, if not outright deleted altogether. This article should be much more focused on the actual myth of Arachne rather than popular culture references to it. The "In popular culture" section seems to make up nearly half the entire article, but is frightfully lacking in citations. Furthermore, most of these popular culture references are completely and totally irrelevant to the subject of the article. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:15, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Major problems with "In popular culture" section 

message: In the part 'Influence', it is said that the word 'Arachnids' comes from the name Arachne. However, the Ancient Greek word ἀράχνη (meaning spider) seems to have a Pre-Greek origin. It looks like the name Arachne comes from the word 'spider', instead of vice versa.

thread_title:  Different Interpretation? 

message: The article text is clear that the earliest surviving account comes from Ovid, and the other surviving accounts also some to come from other Roman/Latin sources, but it refers to it as an example of “Greek mythology” and refers to the deity in the story as “Athena.”
If the principal authors were Romans writing in Latin, I suspect the deity they were referring to is actually “Minerva” and we’re really talking about Roman mythology. There is a strong syncretic tradition within Roman society to treat them as analogues, but I think the best practice would be to maintain the distinction unless I’m mistaken.

message: There is a trend toward ticket and recording sales around new music, tasteful perhaps, but commercial nonetheless. American singer Burl Ives and 'Suvla Bay' come to mind. For some reason, the department of Veterans affairs recommend English hymns for commemoration of ANZAC Day dawn services. Commemoration services can and do change. For example "God save the queen" is no longer played at most services. There is an enormous collection of out-of-copyright music written by Australian composers on suitably patriotic subjects, preserved by Australian libraries and vintage music curators, but these are sadly neglected and very seldom played. Some were written by returned servicemen whilst on duty in Gallipoli and France. Some examples 
* Jack Lumsdaine
* Reginald Stoneham
* Frederick Septimus Kelly
* Michael Heming - no copies - "Threnody for a soldier killed in action" performed abroad  KIA El Alamein
* Pte. George Hurst - 1912 Orchestral Intermezzo - no copies KIA 1917
* F. Purcell-Warren KIA 1916 five piano miniatures
* Pte. Albert J Smith https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C209909
* Ms. May Summerbelle 'So Long' and 'Shrine of Remembrance'
* 'Now is the hour' by pseudonym Clement Scott - probably civilian Albert Bokhare Saunders
* Musical Setting of "Austral Hymn" by Gallipoli Correspondent John Sandes
* 'ANZAC March' and 'Wallabies March' by Alex Lithgow

Talk:Gaian

message: differentiated new age Gaians from "thesis Gaians" or "political Gaians" who are less flaky.
I've heard "terrist" used to distinguish political Gaians who take direct action, to distinguish from "cosmist" or "cosmic" Gaians with the new age approach.  But I can't find this usage on the web, so I'll leave it for now.
The terminology is evolving.  9/11 made some people shy away from "terrist" and others embrace it.  
------
As opposed to the secretive groups/factions which are hard to document because they stay out of the news and shift names a lot, with "Gaians" there's the opposite problem.  There are so many strange points of view calling themselves this that it's hard to differentiate the flakes from the ones who have a serious peer-reviewed thesis.
Buckminster Fuller and Lynn Margulis and Donella Meadows seem to be the most solid scientists of this group - James Lovelock and Arthur C. Clarke might be counted as almost as solid - but you could include L. Ron Hubbard as well... people who believe in a spiritual and ethical integration tend to be seen as flakes by everyone else, even if they think they have "proved" their thesis, or observed thsi integration in nature.
Messy.  Maybe someone else should take the next crack at this entry...?

message: Marijuana is no language at all. It is a propaganda word created by Reafer Madness movie. But all laws in the US must be in English. So marijuana is not a english word that legally defines the plant in this British Monarchy. So all marijuana laws are VOID for not being written in English. Marijuana laws are racial discrimination because no one can read it in English. Cannabis is a arabic word so Cannabis laws are also VOID or not legally enforcable in the US. Hemp is the english word for the cannabis plant. So only hemp can be used to define the plant in english US laws.

Talk:Dick Bruna

message: Today I took a picture of my friend Dick Bruna in his atelier in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
I also talked with him about several points in this article. Because of the remarks made by Dick in this interview I removed his official or given names from the infobox. He feels they are totally superfluous and irrelevant. Nobody uses them or even knows them. The artist wants to be known as Dick, no more.
In the section on influences Bruna told me that the remark on Pablo Picasso was wrong. The only thing that he knows from Picasso is that the French writer Simenon once told him that Picasso had said to him (Simenon) that he liked one of the book covers Bruna had made for a Dutch translation of one of Simenon's detective stories, published by A.W. Bruna. --Dolph Kohnstamm 14:25, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture added and several corrections made 

message: I appreciate your additions to the page. I edited it a few weeks back as I was disappointed by the lack of information provided. Honestly, I think it is a long way from being where it needs to be. Mr. Bruna is such an underrated artist and most American's knowledge of him is limited to Miffy. He has such an amazing body of work.
One question though. I appreciate that Dick would like to be known as such. But in the interest of information, isn't it appropriate to include his birth name in the article? I don't think it should be kept secret.  While it is important to respect Mr. Bruna's wishes, I do feel this is important information that should not be left out of the article.
I am more that willing to discuss this topic rather than just make the change.
On another note, I was able to find your book "an eye demands an eye" early last year. Very nicely done. I'm in the process of trying to track down other books written about Bruna. So far I have most of the Japanese publications, paradise in pictograms, your book and a couple others.

thread_title:  The moons of Mars 

message: The section on "misogyny" fails any reasonable test for neutrality. 
The content in question is a politically biased, neo-feminist dissertation containing lengthy analyses and quotations by Nussbaum and Needleman Armintor, including this gem:
"male nausea can be used as a pathetic countermeasure against the perceived threat of female consumption."
The entire section in question is a political opinion. Moreover, as a political opinion, it is quite . 
Whether or not you personally happen to agree with that particular political perspective is irrelevant. It's a deeply biased political perspective, intentionally expressed in terms that many will find offensive: and as such, it doesn't belong in the current article. 
The section should be deleted, or at least moved to a separate article where such polarizing views would be more relevant.
Since that's probably too much to ask, I'm simply making an edit to the section in question. 
Before you reflexively restore the text that I'm about to delete, ask yourself:
Is this really a "neutral" point of view? Really? Gonnasoakupthesun (talk) 06:05, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  International Settlements 

message: If they were in on nazi looting, isn't it a no brainer? Is it similar to being too big to fail? This needs more of an explanation:
As a result of allegations that the BIS had helped the Germans loot assets from occupied countries during World War II, the Bretton Woods Conference recommended the "liquidation of the Bank for International Settlements at the earliest possible moment".[6] This resulted in the BIS being the subject of a disagreement between the non-governmental U.S. and British delegations. The liquidation of the bank was supported by other European delegates, as well as the United States (including Harry Dexter White, Secretary of the Treasury, and Henry Morgenthau),[6] but opposed by John Maynard Keynes, head of the British delegation.
Fearing that the BIS would be dissolved by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Keynes went to Morgenthau hoping to prevent the dissolution, or have it postponed, but the next day the dissolution of the BIS was approved. However, the liquidation of the bank was never actually undertaken.[7] In April 1945, the new U.S. president Harry S. Truman and the British government suspended the dissolution, and the decision to liquidate the BIS was officially reversed in 1948.[8]
