When did he join the army, what regiment, how long had he been in Afganistan?  Most important: how was it he escaped?  The article describes a 'last stand' but only by inference is Brydon present. If he was the "sixth officer" it should be stated explicitly (for example " Brydon with five other officers escaped on horseback, but the others were all killed on the road" . What regiment was he in at Lucknow?  When did he retire from the army?  What is the "sr" in  "It was Dr Brydon sr."?

More importantly, Sikahema is listed as more than 6 years younger than Leonard, who last fought in an amateur event in the Olympics in 1976, and won his last of three Golden Gloves titles in 1974.  Sikahema turned 12 in August of 1974, and would not have been of an age to compete with Leonard before Leonard turned pro.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neil Hunt (talk • contribs) 12:37, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Capsizing is not necessarily a problem. There are plenty knots that are supposed to capsize. In my experience, if the bight is long enough, it holds just fine (as tobixen also pointed out). And because of the many turns it has a good grip on the pole. Better than the timber hitch, for example, and much easier to tie and especially untie. I'm falling in love with this knot. But that's pov. :) As is the claim that it is unsafe, so that needs sourcing or should be removed. DirkvdM (talk) 14:29, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

message: "The use of it, however, in a Native American ceremony is an obvious indicator that the ceremony is NOT an authentic Native American ritual and is most likely from a fraudulent source, as the plants were not available in North America until it was brought from Europe it was obviously never used in "traditional" or ancient Native American ceremonies."

thread_title:  POV 

message: "Due to the belief that it is the blood of the mythical animal, the dragon, it was also used in alchemy and for ritual magic."  I have read many of the primary medieval sources that mention this substance, and not one has asserted that it is really the blood of a dragon.  It doesn't even vaguely resemble blood unless you melt it, whereupon it becomes bright red and blood-like.  It doubtless was used in alchemy and ritual magic, but those uses are not separate from its use as incense which I have added to the list of uses.  Since that claim is unsourced and seemingly contradicted by personal experience, I have removed it to this page. 209.30.170.226 13:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: 1) "A study on oral toxicity of the DC resin methanol extract " - how this can be of any value (in determining the resin's toxicity) when methanol itself is a potent poison??
2)The style of the article could be improved: The article seems to suggest that basically any red colored resins (and also the red mercury salts) were called dragonsblood by europeans, with no regard to what it's source was, just based on the color characteristic - why not say it explicitly then. Also resins typically have some anti-fungal, and/or antibacterial effect, so no need to talk about the traditional medicinal uses like it was completely baseless superstition. 89.134.199.32 (talk) 14:03, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

message: The first section of this article is lifted word for word from 
https://www.roughtrade.com/us/the-black-keys/chulahoma
"Chulahoma is an EP by American rock duo The Black Keys. Essentially a tribute album, it is a collection of the band's cover versions of songs by Fat Possum Records bluesman Junior Kimbrough, who died in 1998. The title is a Choctaw word for red fox and is a reference to Chulahoma, Mississippi, location of "Junior's Place", a juke joint bought by Kimbrough around 1992 and operated after his death by his sons until it burned down on April 6, 2000.
The Black Keys have covered Kimbrough in their 2002 debut album, with "Do the Rump", and with "Everywhere I Go" on their second record Thickfreakness."

Talk:Cinemasonic

message: I've removed the following 2 paragraphs: the first is, without sources, speculation: the second is, quite clearly, nothing more than opinion.
:Rik Carter was ex-Mission.  Shortly after this gig he would cease working with All About Eve in not particularly friendly circumstances.  As he had (shared) writing credits for a couple of the songs (including Somebody Said and Daisychains) this album is therefore the only place that these songs are ever likely to be issued.
:The issue of sound quality has caused some controversy on this album.  It is an ordinary stereo track that was recorded straight from the mixing desk at the gig. As such this album sounds far more "live" than most live albums, which has led to some reviewers (including Allmusic) saying that it sounds like a Bootleg recording.  Another school of thought, however, is that - with a suitably powerful amplifier - it sounds like you are actually there - and is therefore better than most other live recordings.

message: It says "The forgetful functor U : Grp → Set is faithful but neither injective on objects or morphisms."
I am suspicious of that grammar, but as I do not know whether "neither injective" is a technical term for a variant of or method of injection I do not dare try to rephrase it. I am suspecting though that maybe it might be intending to say something along the lines of 
"is faithful but it is injective on neither objects nor morphisms" or "is faithful, but on objects and on morphisms it is not injective". Its a hard call to make as to which construction is clearest, its a tricky statement to try to write.
