message: I think that at some point in time in the future the truth should be laid out about John F purdue
This document is propaganda. 
- purdue university was aquired by the state after John F purdue truly (perdue)was  "diagnosed with supposed mental illness" along with all other assets due to the fact that John did not have a wife. However he did have rightfull dependants and family thus the long painstaking process of litigation....and hence why no true perdue attended the university.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.203.128 (talk) 06:22, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: lol how could the state acquire a state run institution? Look up the Morrill Act, Purdue was a donor and trustee not the owner. I would not completely rule out mental illness later in life, there may be some evidence, but we would need some solid sources before adding it. Nowimnthing (talk) 18:24, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Blacksmoke

message: I'm reverting any addition of this (here, KLF article) for the rationale stated on this user talk page. Basically, we need reliable sources - forum posts and 9 Google hits is not enough. Furthermore, I find it hard to believe that Blacksmoke would be so tacky as to revisit The KLF 20 years on and that if they did I'm sure it would get more than 9 Ghits.

text: the study you have indicated itself doubts its own conclusions - "Some Western medical researchers partially discount the validity of this study because the study did not include participants who developed influenza-type symptoms, therefore the prevention percentage may have been lower than if they had. Also, some researchers feel that the placebo effect, when a percentage of participants' positive expectations cause a positive effect, may have influenced the findings since study participants knew that gargling was part of the study." - and states that double-blind studies are necessary before anything can be drawn. particularly since the stated effect of 36% is lower than the usual 40% seen from sugar pills! 61.199.214.113 (talk) 23:38, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

message: My dentist has asked me to gargle to clear an infection in the area between my gums and lower wisdom tooth. Does that mean that rinsing and gargling the mouth are different things and work differently?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.104.116 (talk) 06:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Gargling is for the throat, while gargling solutions can be swished around through the teeth with benefits, I would not call it gargling. I guess since the wisdom teeth are nearer to the back of the throat he wants you to gargle in addition to swishing to make sure you hit that area adequately with the liquid.

message: I am not sure the emphasis is placed on what Farber is mostly notable for in the last 2 decades, and that is clearly the promotion of AIDS denialism. Granted that early in her career she covered a wider range of topics, but reliable sources all say essentially the same thing; namely that she primarily promotes quackery,pathological science, and woo. Psychologist Seth Kalichman gives notable detail to Farber in his book "Denying AIDS" and in the peer reviewed journal 'AIDS and Behavior'. The lede should certainly make mention of her earlier work, but it should also reflect what the weight of reliable sources have to say about her notability/infamy. Thoughts?

Talk:Justified & Ancient

message: Apparently, Bill Drummond wrote a piece for The Guardian on April 9th 1998, shortly after Tammy Wynette's passing. I gather it goes into some detail about the recording and may be useful. I've been unable to find it online so it might need access to a premium database or (gasp!) a library.
In the meantime I've added a reference to a BBC interview with Bill (audio), with a mention of him flying out to record her vocals. There is an interesting anecdote therein about Bill and Jimmy in the studio, where Jimmy casually remarks that the song "needs Tammy Wynette" and 20 minutes later Bill is on the phone to her (which ties in with the lyrics "they called me up in Tennessee") but I didn't quote/transcribe it (yet). --kingboyk (talk) 19:58, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Bill also tells the story in  (Lesson two). It's really quite a fascinating story about the power of the telephone and how the JAMs really did just "call [Tammy] up" and arrange for her to appear, on the spur of the moment. --kingboyk (talk) 02:34, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible source 

message: There's a "demo mix" of J&A on the bootleg Arkive Volume 1. Besides Cauty's electric guitar,  bass guitar and drums featuring much higher (probably because the mix is relatively sparse, it's a demo after all) there are some additional lyrics at the end which tend to support the assertion that the working title of the single was "The Ice Cream Men": "Ice cream men, are you coming back some day? Ice cream men, will you come back to stay? Ice cream men..." Probably not worth mentioning in the article unless it comes up in one of the books I've purchased, but I found it interesting. --kingboyk (talk) 08:26, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

message: Promos for Jury Duty describe him as "Judge Bruce Cutler".  I presume that such shows feel free to speak loosely:  Judge Judy is features a former judge, sitting as arbitrator pursuant to a contract between parties, which they undertake to avoid e.g. the expense of both hiring lawyers -- and thus she's not so much "playing a judge on TV" as she is exercising binding authority very much like that of a judge, which is likely to be better understood by her viewers as (essentially) a "judge" than if they were given a technical description. So what abt Cutler? There's no mention of the phrase, which a better article would either confirm as a current or former judge, or describe as, say, "serving a role in an arbitration, comparable to that which a judge serves in a civil suit". --Jerzy•t 09:11, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
