Talk:Mrs Brown

message: Why is there a full stop after Mrs? THis is not necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puffinbillyunst (talk • contribs) 
Mrs. <- please note the period is the correct way to write this. Same with Sir. Mr. etc SimonD 23:04, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In Britain, Mrs Brown, without the full stop (period), is considered correct, but I suspect that Mrs. Brown is correct in America (could someone please confirm this?). Although the film is British, the IMDB listing shows it puncuatated. Also my video of the film calls it Mrs. Brown. I'm surprised that there's no redirect from Mrs Brown though - I'll go and correct this. -- Tivedshambo (talk) 14:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're all correct. In the States, we use a period to indicate that it's an abbreviation, while in Britain and probably many of the Commonwealth countries, they leave out the full stop on account of it not being the end of a sentence, and on account of it just looking nicer that way. Um, except that "Sir" is a full word, not an abbreviation and does not take a period like Mssr., Mr., and the like do. LordAmeth 01:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lee S. Overman

message: Moved from "Lee Salter Overman" to "Lee Slater Overman".  He was the son of William H. Overman and his wife, Mary E. Slater, and his middle name is his mother's maiden name. This error has been around for about a year, and WIkipedia clones have promulgated it wide and far, so that a websearch reveals about equal numbers for each variation. The best sources (his Congressional Biography, and his collected papers, North Carolina, the Old North State and the new. Henderson, Archibald,. Chicago. Lewis Publishing Co.. 1983.) give "Slater", not "Salter". Perhaps a better solution would be to park this at "Lee S. Overman"? - Nunh-huh 18:14, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: The etymological origin of the name Jesus is Semitic (ישוע), that of Zeus is Indo-European (*dyeus). I can't think how these names could be etymologically linked. Q·L·1968 ☿ 15:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It does say this the Esus-Jesus connection was conjured up by Iolo, correct? There' not much logic to that guy's though patterns.--Cúchullain t/c 20:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Iolo did say it. He may not have been the very first, but I suspect he was, since he was kind of at the cutting edge of Celtic revivalist pseudo-scholarship. The link between Esus and Jesus, although commonly mooted, is specious; still more so is any link between Jesus and Zeus (which I've never even seen mentioned before). Q·L·1968 ☿ 21:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I see what you're saying. But the article doesn't claim there's a link between Jesus and Zeus, does it? Just that Iolo associated Jesus with Esus, and someone else associated Esus with Zeus.--Cúchullain t/c 21:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Did I misunderstand the intended meaning of "the etymological relationship between the theonyms Zeus and Jesus"? Perhaps the author meant "between Zeus and Esus on the one hand and between Jesus and Esus on the other". Cheers, Q·L·1968 ☿ 20:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was confused as to what we were talking about here. I now see you mean the line you removed. The Esus-Jesus connection is okay to keep as something made up by Iolo, and the Esus-Zeus connection would be okay if (a.) it was a real suggestion and (b.) it was sourced. The further leap between Jesus and Zeus is nonsense, and you were right to remove it.--Cúchullain t/c 21:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Fifteen (disambiguation)

message: The material on this page has been moved here from the article 15 (number).
I think it should go back there, for the time being. That article is one of a series of over 100 articles, and they should follow the same principles. These principles may be discussed on a relevant talk page (by the way: Where is that?), and I do not neccesarily think that creating disambiguation pages like this one is such a bad idea (though I'd prefer naming them 15 (disambiguation), etc., rather than Fifteen (disambiguation)). Once a consensus has been reached, the changes can be implemented in a systematic way.--Niels Ø 20:42, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
:apologies for not examining the relevant project's policies before the move.  It just seemed that a disambig page was in order, given the amount of relevant links; sticking it at at the bottom of a fairly developed article seemed confusing.  No objections to moving it back for the time being, provided a disambig template is added, as i agree that the whole series should follow the same principles; however, i also think that disambig pages are important for a word with so many possible uses.  if you find that talk page, let me know . . .  --Heah 21:07, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the other pages, the idea of keeping all the info on the main number page seems to make sense, so i've reverted it at least for now, and will turn the disambig into a redirect. apologies for my ill thought out edit. I still wish it was clearer, though; perhaps i'll mention this on the project's talk page (which, btw, seems to be linked to above.) --Heah 21:22, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge and NPOV tags

message: The skeptics can relax, for despite the limited studies done by unpaid scientists in their spare time, no solid evidence for Bigfoot has surfaced, such as bones or a body. You just cannot, however, expect always that there will be an equal number of non-productive studies, for the sake of a specious
"balance". The skeptics did take two Bigfoot trips, however, Robert Sheaffer of CSICOP, went with Jon-Erik Beckjord, (joined later by a family of 6) in 1999,
and he did not see nor hear Bigfoot. Dr Molly Hanson of CSICOP, also went with
Beckjord on an expedition in 1989, to the mountains of AZ, and she found Bigfoot
tracks independently, and became a believer.

I was present at the 1963 performance, and the same age as AW, and also a piano student, and, later, a serious musicology student at UCLA, with Slonimsky ... but my point is that AW was always an electrifying musician and obviously playing from deep within.
