Talk:Akshardham Temple attack

message: Articles Akshardham temple Siege and Akshardham temple atack sems to describe the same incident. I believe they should be merged into just one. I suggest to copy info form Siege into Atack, and make it a Redirect. --Abu Badali 16:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: At present, the article provides a limited and cursory overview of the Akshardham Temple attack. The article itself contains a few citations and does not offer a chronological timeline of events. Therefore, I propose an overhaul of this article which takes into account the aforementioned limitations. Pshamb (talk) 03:09, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Atef-Khent and Atef-Pehu 

message: The list of nomes seems to draw on different sources, and thus has conflicting information in it. Because the configuration of nomes changed over time, different ancient authors enumerate the nomes differently.  Potential sources are in Bagnall (cited in article), Egypt Under the Pharaohs: A History Derived Entirely from the Monuments, Heinrich Karl Brugsch, Hand-book for travellers in Egypt, Sir John Gardner Wilkinson, as well as what's available in Strabo, etc.  The chart should be standardized according to one of these sources, and it should be cited.

Talk:I Ching's influence

message: As a longtime editor of the I Ching article, I created I Ching's influence article for three reasons: 
#The I Ching article (35 kb, (at the time) with the list of Westerners influenced) was beyond the recommended length for articles.  While the recommendations on length of articles are not hard and fast rules, the suggested length (20-30 kb) corresponds to what the average reader can absorb in an article.  Another way of putting that is that a well-written article is usually relatively concise.  When articles get beyond a certain length, it is recommended that summary style be used with short summary sections and a "Main" article created.
#The list of Westerners influenced was getting very long.  No blame here (I was one of the people who added to it).  However it was becoming a rather large sideshow.  As such, it was not really relevant to the main article, which is generally a rather authoritative description of the I Ching itself. 
#There is a rather interesting story to be told about the reach and influence of the I Ching.  I'm researching that right now and plan to add to the article.
For these reasons, I am not in favour of merging this article back into the I Ching article. Sunray 17:04, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: One thing that does occur to me, however, is that this article should perhaps be renamed.  I can't think of a better name at the moment, but am open to suggestions. Sunray 18:04, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Although I think the writers may have used the I Ching in a number of ways in their plot - perhaps the numbers used in the show relating to certain Hexagrams of the I Ching - I think it is miss leading to assume that the The Dharma Initiative is logo is influenced by the I Ching and not just meant to be a 'mystical' or 'Asian' design.  With out any further inforamtion we might as well say that the logo is influenced by those little mirrors which, i believe, are used in Feng Shui.  Further more the logo its self is made up of triagrams, the componatnse of the Hexagrams of the I Ching, which predate the I Ching.  I would be quite happy for any one to correct me on any mistakes I have made.  --Drgs100 21:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Has King Arthur been omitted?
:Yes he has, as he doesn't belong here. Lemegeton 12:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The article says that all monarchs are referenced that way but I haven't seen any evidence of that fact and I've seen every episode of the revived series at least three times. I put a "Citation needed" on that bit because it seems more likely to me that it was simply her rather irreverent idiom. After all, she did also say, "I'm the bloody queen" and "Basically, I rule" so it's not like she always spoke in the most regal manner. So unless someone can find a reference that says that all monarchs were referred in that way during that time period then I'm going to remove that bit. --Kitsunegami (talk) 07:14, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I think that making this article becoming two separate articles would be a good idea.

Another article can be created for fictional monarchs of fictional nations from TV shows and books. --75.68.122.13 (talk) 19:15, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

The list was kept at AFD (nominated version), but of the five keep !votes one was duplicated (WTF!?), one was a "Keep per username." !vote, and username's comment asserted the noteworthiness of this topic based on the existence of Shakespeare's writings, and very little of this list consists of discussion of Shakespeare's writings or other such pre-modern "classics" likely to be covered in reliable secondary sources: almost all of it is unsourced plot info from modern novels, comics, films, etc., and until my edit just now the article didn't even mention The Tale of Genji.

message: I don't know that much about this area of Co. Mayo but what I do know is that this article is not correct.  First, Carra is a barony of Ireland.  It is situated south of Lough Conn and incorporates Lough Mask in the south of the county.

I'm not sure what to do about this article as I'm not particular au fait with the area but it is far from correct currently and is not a good article.

replies: text: What is odd is that the article doesn't include anything of his life before 1477 - which was the interesting part!  For example, he was one of the architects of the bills of attainder that were passed against the leading Yorkists (including Edward IV and his father) at the Parliament of Devils in 1459.  He was indeed a loyal Lancastrian and opponent of York until the Lancastrian cause was defeated at Tewkesbury (he even accompanied Margaret of Anjou and her son into exile after Towton).  After that he managed to make peace with the Yorkists.  Presumably, his talents outweighed his previous loyalties.

I could also add information about the political structure of Peotone, such as the mayor, city council, and school board; as well as information about the schools and such.

message: The original version of this article said that the conversion of the node numbered happened in 1995.  I changed that to 1992-5 because I am somewhat sure it happened before 1995.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The conversion of node numbering did not happen in or before 1995.  It happened after July 31, 1996, as that is the date when I shut down my WWIVNet linked BBS, Black Dragon Enterprises (#3080; #2380 before 1991 when the telco industry split the 213 area code creating 310).  BDE also had an alter ego, The Snark's Abode (#13080) - the only WWIV system that could dynamically reload its main configuration file while running.  When I left WWIVNet in 1996, I recall no talk of the zone structure of the form "xzzz" - so it must have occurred after.

I omitted reference to Rybar building the guns himself, which he did not, and to another Circuit, in a separate case "validating" Alito; the 9th Circuit cannot sensibly "validate" anything the 3rd Circuit does -- besides the Supreme Court did not uphold the 9th in the referenced case.

Talk:4.48 Psychosis

message: The article notes that "The play was originally written as a monlougue between the two sides of the characters personality, but has since been divided into three parts."
There is no mention in the text concerning the number of characters in the piece.  Thus the number of cast members changes with each production.  The original English production had three actors.  A celebrated French production starring Isabelle Huppert employed only two.  A Chicago production had six actors, and an upcoming Orange County production will make it a one-woman show.
"The title of the play refers to the exact time of night around which suffering people report feeling very clear and cold whilst - for those outside - they appear to be suffering the most intense psychosis." Is this true? As far as I can remember, it was only Kane herself who felt this lucidity, not just bipolar sufferers in general. I could be wrong, though. BabaDraconis 12:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just added a citation for the origin of the title of the play, and then read your comment here, which the citation doesn't cover at all! The play's title is based, as you say, on the time she experienced this phenomenon; I don't think it's true to say that all suffers across the nation (I assume it's time-zone specific) get it at the same moment. What we need here is to say something along the lines of this is the exact time she felt what many report feeling... but then we'd need a citation to say that these reports are made, which I do not have.
