Category talk:Songs

message: See discussion going on at Category talk:Musical compositions.
The present category definition of :category:pieces has some vague edges, e.g. regarding Daphnis et Chloé by Ravel (and so many other compositions with "undefined" lyrics), and all operas (which have "lyrics", but can not be categorized either as "albums" or "songs").
Instead of taking part in the discussion here, please take part in the general discussion at Category talk:Musical compositions.

Talk:Fumiko Hayashi (author)

message: Japanese sources differ on Hayashi's year of birth. The dictionary Kojien, for example, gives 1904, while Daijirin gives 1903. This discrepancy is noted in the encyclopedia Nihon Daihyakka Zensho. The date in this article has been revised back and forth several times; I have now changed it back to show both years. Tomgally 03:52, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The precise dates of her publications seem inaccurate; while there is some room for variation, as works like Horoki were published in serial form before appearing as an individual book, its not clear what the dates here represent. It currently says 1927 for this work, though the Japanese Wikipedia says 1930, which is the year the serialized version was completed and the book published (by a different publisher). The dates on other publications are also a little suspect, perhaps in part because they follow the reference to one of her works being made into an anime (a 30 minute anime, which was released in 1986--but its unclear if that is a US release or a Japanese one), an undated event which happened many years after her death, and after the work had appeared as a film at least once, and presented on stage 1000s of times). More precise statements, and if possible, citations, are very much needed. 
The cited source (Joan E. Ericson's book) is much clearer on these points.

thread_title: Accuracy

message: What is being referred to as "Japanese military government" is unclear here. At least at one point, she did take a trip sponsored by the Japanese military to Southeast Asia in which she spent one night in Shanghai during her return trip (in 1942-3), but earlier trips were probably sponsored by the central Japanese government (between 1937-1941). Her earliest trip to Taiwan was sponsored by the Governor-General's office. I'm not sure what the correct term is, but "Japanese military government" seems either overly informative (when exactly did Japans government become military?) or simply intending to be derogatory. 
Additionally, the reference to "trips to China" is probably meant to refer to her trip to Nanjing in late 1937, but she also took trips to other areas in China, Chosen (as it was known then) and Mongolia. I am not making the changes now, as I don't have the time to find the exact dates, places, and sponsors, but this would also greatly improve the accuracy and usefulness of this article.

thread_title:  Edmund I or III? 

message: I've put King Edmund back in. His 30-second reign is a key joke of the series - all those years aching to be king, then when he finally makes it he dies almost immediately. An episode of Blackadder 2 has its concluding song begin:
His great-grandfather was a king
Although for only 30 seconds
He wouldn't be Edmund III as pre-Norman Conquest kings aren't counted in the numbering. If they were all our King Edwards would have a number three higher. As for coronation, Edward V and Edward VIII were never crowned either. A maxim of English law is 'the monarch never dies' - at the instant one monarch dies, the next in line becomes monarch. Jess Cully 19:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I can't believe I'm actually participating in this argument ... and I really do have work to do. The line of succession in the British Monarchy is seamless, and the title passes instantly to the next in line. It was adopted in Britain in the 1200s due to an unseemly circumstance at Henry III's death. The French did it 200 years later. Quite why the British monarch then has to be officially proclaimed and crowned (after a year or so waiting around) is one of those arcane mysteries of the British Constitution that my brief life is too short to allow me to explain.

Talk:.kkrieger

message: I wrote the article, and it was in no way intended as spam.  I have no association whatsoever with the group in question, but felt that the game was of note for the reasons specified in the article - i.e. that it is fully playable and fits in 96kb. AndrewH
.kkriger deserves attention for being rather revolutionary, unlike most other computer games. If we remove this we should remove all software that is mentioned in wikipedia. P.S. 12:20, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Now obviously, Wikipedia should never be a reviewing site. But I think it's worth saying that the developers themselves have confessed .kreigger is not very unusual in FPS terms, and anyone who's played it sees it's less sophisticated than Doom I. As they say on the site, the entire point of it is the procedural texture thing rather than the gameplay.--Katana314 13:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

message: First, the game engine code is very small, opposite of what is written there, same with the levels, they use a lot of space. In fact, textures, maps (levels), models, and sound is what is filling up those DVDs, scrips & code is the stuff that can be packed on a floppy.

message: "Nefertari was known as the principal wife of RamsesII. She was considered beautiful in her time and was greatly popular in performing . Most of Pharaoh's wives were used for sex and they had a low status among the royal court. They were known as prostitutes or concubines and although nefertari is a principal wife, her main purpose was to have sex."
This statement has nothing to back it up.  It sounds like something someone just made up.  I'm sure it isn't true as wives were for producing children, and sometimes they ruled on the throne.  I think it needs to be deleted. Onikan (talk) 05:19, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

message: It's remarkable (but not surprising) how little this aspect of Friere's biography is discussed in relation to his work and Pedagogy of the Oppressed in this article.

It's actually quite remarkable that Friere was able to synthesize his faith with the beliefs of Marxist dialectical materialism.

Category talk:Socialism

message: I have now spent some time categorising the various articles on socialism and its various offshoots. To keep matters as simple as possible, I have kept the most important variants of socialism as direct subcategories. 
*For some reason, Trotskyism was classified as a subcategory of communism, which I think is misleading. Certainly there is a shared history, but existing communism differs enough from Trotskyism and the followers of the latter more often self identify as socialist rather than communist that I have put them both as direct subcategories of Socialism. However, a case can be made to put both Communism and Trotskyism as subcategories of Marxism, rather than of Socialism.  
*Within the category "socialist parties" there are listed those parties which self identify as socialist, but do not place themselves within a specific tradition. 
*For those parties which do place themselves within a certain tradition, there are subcategories within that tradition; e.g. there is a subcategory "Trotskyist organisations" within the category Trotskyist.
*The same goes for the more important people associated with the various traditions, though I've also kept the most important (e.g. Trotsky for Trotskyism) within the main category.
*Within Communism, there are two categories for Left communism and Maoism, both of which clearly identify themselves as Communist. 
Anyway, I wanted to make my reasoning clear here, so y'all know there is some reasoning behind it...
