Talk:Art for art's sake

message: I object to the current last statement in the article, "Before photography, but after the rise of a middle class in Europe, art was not only "decorative" but the only way that people documented what objects looked like".  This statement is crude and simplistic and is the product of a pedestrian view of the history of art and of art theory.  It also does nothing to elucidate the complex relationship between didactic and purely aesthetic responses to pre-photography art, a more comprehensive discussion of which the article "art for art's sake" would benefit.
if no one can persuade me otherwise, I will change the last statement to something a little more reasonable. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.107.100.201 (talk • contribs).

Talk:Emblems of the Kalmar Union

message: It is more like guess to have this as the flag of Kalmar Union, as even written descriptions have not survived. And, of the eight wikis I can read (excluding the thai wiki), three have "Nordic flag" and five have "Kalmar Union flag" or similar. Maybe it could and should be put as "this is the best guess to what might have been the Kalmar Union flag", though I am not sure of that either. 82.141.67.208 (talk) 19:44, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: hm, but comparing Eric's seal with the Danish flag, the parallel is striking, but even more striking is the change replacing the Swedish lion with the Norwegian one and getting rid of the Norwegian inescutcheon, so that the Three Crowns in the flag seem to represent Sweden, kind of by process of elimination, while in the seal they seem to represent the union. But then the "flag" is really a drawing of a copy of a lost flag, and who knows in what state of preservation the original would have been.  Clearly this is problematic and needs to be based on (excellent, heraldic) secondary references. --dab (𒁳) 21:49, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Cameron Bar Indian Reserve No. 13

message: There's a few other numbered-reserve articles kicking around, and one or two of them (like this one) have 0 population.  I'm not sure about this.  Are we going to list every numbered IR in BC?  Or just those that are inhabited?  And re the latter is it the Indian Act name, i.e. the numbered designation they should be listed under, or the local government.  I can see the point with uninhabited reserves if there's a history, i.e. there were specific reallocations/de-allocations related to the reserve, or for some other reason its history as to when or why it became a reserve is of interest.  Otherwise a full listing/articling of BC Indian Reserves seems implied by the existence of this (I think another is Pavilion 1, British Columbia; NB which is not the same (though almost) as Pavilion, British Columbia (which should have an article that includes non-native residents/ranches/features instead of just Tsxwaylac/St'at'imc refs).  In the case of Cameron Bar, it's one of perhaps a hundred reserves in the Canyon, but effectively they can all be boiled down to which of several band governments manages which reserves, uninhabited/inhabited (not necessarily Nlaka'pamux politically as some aren't part of the group council).Skookum1 18:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Carpanta

message: Just discovered, after picking up on Amazon a copy of a long-lost book from my youth, the "My Cartoon Annual 1984". It contains a few strips, including "Zippy and Zappy" and "Justin Dustbin", who is Carpanta. Some of the pages have an Escobar signature on them. So it looks like Carpanta made it to at least one English translation. Is this noteworthy? The book's hard to find on the web, look for "Opal Quill", the publishers. 188.29.165.202 (talk) 15:07, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The comic itself doesn't show up on Google. If you can find it in your local library and you source it properly, then it's perfectly noteworthy to be included into the article as an existing translation of the work, in fact, it'd be pretty valuable, because not even in Spain we have evidence of such thing (except for Escobar, of course). --Apolo234 (talk) 21:10, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Justin Dustbin 

message: I was making some edits to this article and I thought a focus should be given to the article, after all, Carpanta is both a comic book character and a comic book series.
So I've thought of two options (without excluding additional ones to be added if you want to). These are:
* Focusing the article on the character himself. ("Carpanta Hambrón, or as better known, Carpanta, is the name of a Spanish character"...)  
* Focusing the article on the comics and strips narrating the character's adventures. ("Carpanta is a comic book series starring Carpanta Hambrón, or as better known, Carpanta, the main character"...)
This would have great relevance on which the sections are and the information to be added, so it's really important, and I don't think it's something to leave to a single person. So, what do you think?

message: Hello all, 
I am just wondering why the flag for the Tyne and Wear city council is listed as the former flag.
Specifically this flag: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:County_Flag_of_Tyne_%26_Wear.svg
I can't find anything on it being a former flag, all I can find is that it is an unofficial flag since the council that used it was disbanded in 1986. It was never officially disused and is still used to represent the former council in both wikipedia articles but also in the former county.I feel that the term unofficial would be better than former.
