Talk:Great Blue Hill

message: is it true that the name Massachusetts is derived from "great blue hill"? that may be worth exploring in the article, especially if this hill's name is native american in origin. 71.126.50.55 03:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt it VERY much. It was the explorers/colonists that named the hill(s) that. When they approached the coast they saw the hill had a blue hue to them, thus the name. Nothing to do with the Native American name of MA. This needs attention. Gosh, there is so much to do here. ~Jeeny (talk) 04:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you have the answer backwards.  "Blue Hill" was named by the explorers, but the word "Massachusetts" has a meaning related to "Blue Hill", see Massachusetts: Name. . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs)  12:54, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says it's "ten miles southwest of Boston"... which is all well and good... but which town is it in? AJD (talk) 05:13, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently it's at the border of Milton and Canton... and ten miles southwest of downtown Boston, maybe, but only about two miles from the Boston city limits.
Given that southwest is half-way between south and west, I'd call it south. People don't expect cardinal directions to be accurate to the degree, and GBH is closer to south than southwest, which would be about Needham.

thread_title:  Missing two towns 

message: "Incorporated county subdivisions" is not an appropriate term in Massachusetts, where county government has been mostly abolished and all land is incorporated into either a city, a town, or a city called a town (a/k/a town with city government, a hybrid for places that don't want to be called cities but are). They are thus not subdidivision of counties but of the state. County subdivisions is a more appropriate name for incorporated areas in states with active county government and much land not incorporated below the county level.

replies: text: The data table for Cities and Towns was not updated appropriately. There are still 2009-2013 data points in there. If you sort by Per Capita Income the Rank column should match it but it does not; doing so indicates there's about 2 dozen towns that were not updated correctly, or not at all. A glaring example is Weymouth and Beverly both share all of the same numbers except for Population. Note, I updated only Weymouth and that's how/when I noticed Beverly's numbers.

thread_title: Ceramics

message: Right then, you ungrateful buggers, I've had it with Greek pots. It might have been nice if this page could have been a collaborative enterprise, but no0o0o0o0o0o0o, I had to write it all myself. Which makes me uncomfortable given that all its defects are then my own. It is a Sisyphysian task writing a summary of 1000 years of craft production, ranging over the whole of the eastern Mediterrean and beyond and embracing several different cultures, so I might as well be candid about what it is I left out. Firstly there's the problem of of treating vases as objects d'art, they aren't of course, they're archaeological artifacts with a context and a find history - this article nowhere nearly gives an adequate treatment of the important finds, Vulci isn't mentioned once ffs. By the same token unpainted ware isn't mentioned at all. There is only the skimpiest treatment of the regional styles outside of Athens and Corinth despite the fact they have long and complex histories of their own. Its true this article would balloon to monograph size if it gave a detailed history of Boetia et al and would probably bore the lay reader, but still... Nor is there a careful delineation of the early, middle and late periods of the Progeometric and Geometric periods. Nor is tere any mention of the black-figure little master cups. Nor the Gnathia style. The treatment of the collecting history of Greek vases is laughable and it didn't even begin to touch on the social status of potters and painters let alone the icongraphy of the vase (though that is perhaps the subject for a different article, n'est pas?). Lastly I'm sure some doofus is going to call me on the inclusion of the Darius and Underworld Painters in the Hellenistic section rather than red-figure, but I say they're Hellenistic and that's that.

Talk:Da (play)

message: ----
Hello. This article offers a wonderfully well-written, intelligent explanation of the play. My hat is off to whoever wrote it. What I would question, however, having seen the play last night, is the claim that the adoptive family was neither abusive nor dysfunctional. Children (and even adults) have a real psychological need which is sometimes called "mirroring," which these parents didn't provide at all.
The comedic effect of the play revolves almost entirely around their stubborn, inventive ways of never "getting" what the son was about, and of reducing his experience to their terms--not considering that his life's events had (and should have) their own, separate meaning to him. Whether they hypothetically could have done so is questionable; thus for me at least, the question of abuse doesn't come up. Another whole set of terms would be needed to describe this type of scenario; a play is even better.
The foster parents' generosity and willingness to sacrifice for the boy were undeniable. But if one has spent any amount of time around adolescents, or if one remembers one's own teenage years, I think it would be obvious that the son's frustration at not being "seen" would be enormous. His only male friend is hardly better at it than his family; his employer at first gives some perceptive attention, but then withdraws it and ultimately exploits and degrades him for years. The potential girlfriend character seems ready to accept him as he is, but he withdraws from her rather than face everyone else's judgment.
In modern U.S. pop culture terms, this young man might have felt "trapped among aliens"--if only he had access to a popular culture. But he is completely isolated, with no way to identify for himself what is missing from his life. Some amount of support for a child's independent personality is necessary in order for that recognition to occur. What this boy got was just not enough for him to pass through adolescence with any feeling of assurance that he would be able to find his own way in the world. And so, for many years, he did not do so.
To us as onlookers it may seem as if the young man loses perspective on his family and becomes just a walking complaint. He seems aware of himself only as someone who has been unfairly held back from belonging to the human race. But that is just the symptom, the surface layer. It, like the play itself in my view, is entirely based on a severe dysfunction which centers in the family. DSatz 13:34, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cypriot intercommunal violence

message: The article Civilian casualties and displacements during the Cyprus conflict used to be called "Turkish Cypriot Genocide", but got its current title after being corrected and balanced out. There have been some complaints on Talk:Civilian casualties and displacements during the Cyprus conflict that it ignores some of the topics covered on Cypriot intercommunal violence. They overlap completely in time, and it would save some contextualizing if they were merged. Civilian casualties are an important part of the history of violence, and both articles are short enough that the resulting article would be of reasonable length. -- Beland (talk) 19:46, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: As I noted on this edit summary, the two articles have entirely different scopes. This article covers the period between 1955 and 1967, whilst the other one covers the period between 1963 and 1975 (it could be argued that this should be extended as far back as 1958 as well). The conflict in 1974 is not normally regarded as part of the intercommunal violence. The proposed merger tag has thus been removed. --GGT (talk) 17:50, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
