Talk:Half a Sixpence

message: This very Wikipedia article is mentioned in John Cleese's autobiography "So, Anyway..." (2014):
"I'm amused that the Wikipedia entry for Half a Sixpence says that I played 'a small but crucial role'. 'Small' I wouldn't argue with; but the 'crucial' aspect of my role - the swindling and the absconding - took place in its entirety after I had left the stage and gone off to read, and so I wouldn't claim much credit for it."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.157.75.244 (talk) 05:34, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

message: This is one of those things that is never addressed in the show or any of the supplemental material, insofar as I am aware of. The only officially known couple in Digimon Adventure is Miyako/Yolei and Ken. Everyone else is sheer speculation.
:Ah, it would seem it genuinely is in the Japanese version of the episode. Having recently rewatched it, I must have missed the "nee-san" part of the conversation or thought it was not literal as they do not clearly state they're married; Sora was like a big sister to the second season characters, for instance.--68.111.242.222 (talk) 23:28, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Ripon College (Wisconsin)

message: Hi @VVGameTime: most editors agree that listing Greek organisations in the main article of a higher ed article is a bad idea because Greeks are not sufficiently documented by neutral sources and usually don't have the necessary significance for an encyclopedia. However, if any of the frats or sororities at Ripon does have special significance (and you can prove it), then go ahead and add that. Thanks for your help. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 08:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

replies: text:  lists 27 in "former Ontario highways" and 2 in "current highways". This seems arbitrary if a stub still legally exists for both roads. I thought 2 was fixed (two distance charts, 1926 and 1998) but 20 is missing historic distances to Hamilton and 3 is simply incomplete. If 27 is even a stub, though, it should go back into "current highways" in the template. K7L (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I haven't gotten to many of the highways yet, so some articles are just a mess (should've seen them 2 or 3 years ago though!).

thread_title:  not emo 

message: This article currently states that this album is a "Pop Punk" album but the article that is cited to justify that classification does not use that term to describe this album at all. In fact, that article classifies this album as "Skate Punk."
"Static Prevails' hardest, scrappiest, most out-of-tune song is opener 'Thinking, That's All.' On this album, lead vocals were split between Tim [sic] Linton (who was the lead vocalist on Jimmy Eat World's 1994 skate punk debut) and Jim Adkins (who took over as lead vocalist on Clarity)..."
I personally don't like either the "Skate Punk" or "Pop Punk" label for this album, but I'm going to update the article to say "Skate Punk" since that's what the cited article says and it's at least probably a more accurate description of this album than "Pop Punk" since they released another two punk/post-hardcore/emo-core albums after this one before going in a more pop-punk direction with Bleed American.

thread_title: Cleanup

message: In my mind, since the early days of Thrash metal, breakdowns are the relatively slow midsection of a fast song. An obvious case is Slayer's "Angel of Death", which probably has the most infamous breakdown in thrash history. Another obvious example is Metallica's "Master of Puppets".
What I came to realize, in the early 1990s, is that a particular subgenre of metal - Death-doom - inverted the breakdown formula. Bands from these subgenre played songs with very slow verses and choruses and then proceeded to play a relatively fast midsection. Here's a few examples:
* My Dying Bride's classic "Sear Me" off their first full length, As the Flower Withers. "Sear Me" proceeds in typical ponderous fashion until 2:40. YouTube link: .
* The opener from Anathema's debut album, Serenades - called "Lovelorn Rhapsody" - starting at 4:06. The YouTube link: .
* Another Anathema song: the first track from the Pentecost III EP - "Kingdom" - starting at 7:27. Link: .
I'd also like to point out that Cathedral, an immediate predecessor to these bands, also used the inverted breakdown formula. Here's two examples:
* "Comiserating the Celebration" from Forest of Equilibrium, beggining at 4:52. Link: .
* "Frozen Rapture" from 1992's Soul Sacrifice EP, beggining at 3:50. Link: .

Talk:Receipt of stolen property

message: Although I can't say I'm surprised, per se:  Also, in many states (Ohio, for example), the burden to prove criminal intent is not as stringent or is nonexistent. This means that one can be charged with the crime - usually a minor degree of felony - even if the person did not know the item in question was stolen..  What's the reasoning behind this?  Short-sightededness while writing the actual laws, or is this usually a conscious decision on the legislators' part in states like this?  I knew a guy a few years ago who was almost nabbed in a sting operation, when undercover police offered him stereo equipment for a reasonable price (he got suspicious and declined midway during the negotiations);  he later saw them an hour later arresting another person.  That's even worse -- if undercover police are "selling" it, then is it really even stolen?  --I am not good at running 17:37, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a link to an Ohio court decision (State v. Awad) where they ruled that even though the goods were not stolen, the undercover police officer said it was stolen, and that made it sufficient to convict. From the summary: Under R.C. 2913.51(B), it is not a defense to a charge of receiving stolen property that the property was not, in fact, stolen, but was used by police in a sting operation, when the property was explicitly represented to the accused as being stolen. In a prosecution for receiving stolen property in violation of R.C. 2913.51, the trial court reasonably could have found that an undercover officer’s use of the word "steal" was part of an explicit representation that the property in question was stolen.
