Talk:Rattail (hairstyle)

message: If I'm not mistaken, the rattail bears some resemblance to the Hindu Sikha hairstyle. I've always assumed that this was the inspiration for the Jedi rattails (keeping in mind that many aspects of the Jedi are influenced by eastern religions). Does anyone have precise information on this? --Balster neb 12:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  I have a rattail 

message: Why the hell do people want rat tails? I have had one all my life. My hair forms one. It's not long but it's a nuisance. People always pull on it, which i consider the worst feeling. When i was a kid they told me i was a werewolf and would one day turn into one and never be able to be human again. Which scared the fuck out of me. They are a curse for kids born with one. Every time i get my hair cut, I make sure it gets cut off. Although, most barbers assume they should cut it off, so that makes it easier. Try growing up as a kid and people always asking you why you have a pony tail, you're a boy. Once a teacher told me that important people have these and its some kind of marker to let people know but i think that's just bullshit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.75.138.19 (talk • contribs) 02:50, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

File talk:Twiggy promo.jpg

message: A Twiggy photograph was deleted earlier for being "replaceable fair use", I did not see the photograph, but I thought that its deletion under RFU was pretty farcical. On uploading this, I informally asked about this on IRC, and the users there supported this. This is an image of Twiggy from the height of her career in the 60s, it is of lower resolution than the original, and clearly sourced. Free alternatives were search for on Flickr and LoC, none were found. Read the second paragraph of the main article, clearly an old photograph like this is very much important to describe this article. Hahnchen 17:24, 20 January 2007) (UTC)
:Then put it next to the second paragraph to illustrate it. Pictures in infoboxes only show what the person looks like and must be freely licensed. —Angr 21:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds like pretty pointless wikilawyering.  If I moved the image out of the infobox, it somehow changes its fair use claim?  It doesn't though does it.  It may be in the infobox, but it's not just to arbitrarily show what the person looks like, instead it shows what the person looked like at the height of their influence and fame. - hahnchen 20:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair use images have to be used in conjunction with critical commentary. There is no critical commentary in an infobox; the use there is purely decorative. —Angr 06:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just shown you how it has been used in conjunction with critical commentary in the article.  Yet you've settled on the trivial point of whether having it in the infobox makes any sort of difference.  The image isn't just used to "decorate" the article.  Since when were infoboxes considered separate articles?  Why does removing the infobox change the claim to fair use in any way? - hahnchen 21:55, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Infoboxes aren't separate articles, but they are separated from any critical commentary in the article. I didn't say the infobox had to be removed, just that any image in it has to be a free one. —Angr 05:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They're not separate from any critical commentary.  In this case, it's used to illustrate the high point of her career.  From your reasoning, it's impossible to have fair use images in any infobox, as it's only used as decorative devices within the infobox.  This is clearly not the case. - hahnchen 13:01, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Little Mermaid

message: Hi. I'm Kimberly Jordan and I'm from Ft. Washington, Maryland, one of the states in America. I'm also one of the fans of Disney. My Irish friend Chloë Agnew is also a fan of Disney as well this time and speaking of Disney, I think there is a franchise called The Little Mermaid, so I'm going to tell you about Ariel, the youngest daughter of King Triton.
Ariel is originally a mermaid who has the ability to unite the world with her heart. Her animal friends are Sebastian the Crab, Flounder the Fish and Scuttle the Seagull. According to the TV series, she likes to go beyond Atlantica and demonstrate magic. She has saved the dinosaurs by using her father's trident and once they were all thawed, the Brontosaurus and her baby love each other again. The other merfolk may be scared by the dinosaurs that breathe underwater, but King Triton has just believed her.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.156.222.128 (talk) 15:16, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

text: Ok, I don't oppose that. However, I'd only like to note some mistakes above: 
# Surnames and names officialy are written in Lithuanian letters in Lithuania. Just the same as it is done in Polish letters in Poland. Not really. Lithuanians living in Poland can have their names put in Lithuanian in their passports. However, Poles living in Lithuania have been waiting for some 12 years now for the same right. 
# She lived 50 years in Lithuanian SSR. 
# She had a son, named Algirdas; is he named Algirdas the same way as our president is named Lechas? Or Gucewicz, whose Lithuanian name was invented some 200 years after his death and who became a Lithuanian some 250 years after his own death? //Halibutt 17:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Laurynas Gucevičius was born in Lithuanian Masiuliai family. His father was Simonas Masiulis and mother Kotryna Žekonytė . His father died when he was ten years old. His mother gave him Stoka/Stuoka surname from his stepfather. Laurynas father was also called Gucevičius in order to distinguish him from other neighbour who were Masiuliai. Laurynas Masiulis-Stuoka-Gucevičius needed Gucevičius/Gucewicz for knighthood's documents which gave open way to the upper class, education .

Talk:Xeni Gwetʼin First Nation

message: Just to note, and I may be able to dig up a cite somewhere, perhaps in Terry Glavin's book on Nemaiah but otherwise in an uncitable personal correspondence with him, that in Chilcotin Country parlance the Chilko Lake area is the "West Chilcotin"; presumably the Anahim-Nimpo area would be, then, the North Chilcotin?  (he didn't say that); this came up in a discussion of the inappropriateness of the name South Chilcotin when applied to the Bridge River Country as it has come to be, and why it was that Chilko/Nemaia wasn't the South Chilcotin, but rather, according to the way folks talk, the West Chilcotin, whatever all the rest is; "west" I guess perhaps because it's a left turn off an otherwise northwestwards-bearing road that gets you there; vaguely in the direction of the sun, albeit actually southwest (musta been the time of year).  I'm sure someone from up there will eventually be by here and can answer this; and like I said if it's in Terry's book it's citable, if it was something I learned from him otherwise unfortunately it's not.  BTW when there's a Brittany Triangle article it should go in the "See also" here.Skookum1 06:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
