Talk:Beanstalk

message: For the last year, this article's redirected to Space Elevator, but is that appropriate?  There are some 879,000 google results for "Jack and the Beanstalk", some 1,570,000 for "space elevator."
There are 102,000 results for beanstalk+elevator, and only 910 results that contain beanstalk+"space elevator".  Wouldn't it make more sense to delete this article or redirect it to Jack and the Beanstalk?  It really doesn't seem like this word is used frequently at all, with reference to space elevators. MrZaiustalk 15:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That does not change the fact that it is a cultural reference to the fairy tail that associates the term with the space elevator.  Since the association does not exist in reverse (that is the article on space elevators does not contemplate the beanstalk or the reference) the redirect is inappropriate.  The redirect should make sense to someone who knows nothing about either topic.  If the association is something worth noting in Wikipedia (it might just be silly cultural trivia) then the correct way to deal with it is to redirect to jack and the beanstalk and then include a mention or see also link from there to space elevator.

message: I moved the former history of this page to , in order to clear the page and preserve that history for public view, before moving  to here.
From that one can see that contenders for "primary topic" include:
* Space elevator
* Jack and the Beanstalk
* Bean
** Phaseolus vulgaris, one of many bean types
I see no consensus on what the primary topic is. In such cases the default is disambiguation. – wbm1058 (talk) 23:06, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Gay literature

message: Marguerite Yourcenar was a Belgian-French writer who has been the first woman elected to the French Academy. She wrote more than 40 novels and essays whose many main characters (historical/fictional) are queer, like Hadrien in "Mémoires d'Hadrien" or Zénon in "L'œuvre au noir" / "The Abyss". Yourcenar was also notably lesbian and she lived in the United States until her death with her partner Grace Frick. 
Adding a section on this writer would certainly be very interesting ! isn't it ? Somithopudri (talk) 08:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Quartier international de Montréal

message: Someone flipped the areal measurements over to "square metres" and someone else flipped them right back to hectares. But if you read the Wiki article on hectares, you find that hectares aren't actually an official unit and are used mostly out of convention. If so, we might want to reconsider its use here.
Atlant 15:58, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The conversion produced the affirmation that the area was "270,000 square metres, 80,000 square metres of which [...]" which seemed to me to introduce an element of precision to the article that was not there. Have we surveyed the site to ensure that it is 80,000 square metres, and not 79,986? The documentation around this project all mentions the area in hectares (for example). I have changed the text in such a way that I hope will satisfy the fans of the hectare, the fans of the square metre, and old sticks-in-the-mud like yours truly who are still fond of the acre. - Grstain 19:09, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Qian Zhongshu

message: Qian was born when traditional characters (TC) were the standard and was named 錢鍾書, which literally means being fond (鍾 as in 鍾愛) of books or scriptures (書). In simplified Chinese (SC), the character for 鍾 was 钟, but 钟 was also SC for 鐘 meaning clock. Many SC-users subsequently confuse the two and write 錢鐘書 for TC, which looks ridiculous to those familiar with TC and understand his name. Subsequently, a "semi-simplified" character 锺 was "created", in hope to clarify when 钟 confused the readers between 鍾 and 鐘. Therefore, Qian's name in SC is sometimes written as 钱钟书 or 钱锺书. Other "context-dependent" simplified characters include 1.余 and 2.馀 and 3.餘, with (1) being the general simplification character for (3), but (2) is sometimes used to avoid confusion. Confusion as such is seen as one of the weaknesses of SC characters. -- Tonync 16:16, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: To put it simpler, it is perfectly alright to write Qian Zhongshu's name as "钱钟书" in simplified Chinese. It was the man himself who preferred "钱鍾书" and some publishers obliged, and hence the two versions of his name on books by different publishers. Thanks Tonync for bringing this to our attention. :) --Plastictv 04:41, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

message: The 'Human Rights abuses section has been blatantly distorted to redundantly mention militant incidents. A single line mentions abuses by the army, followed by an awkward and poorly worded justification ("though many court cases have been done on this"). 
Typically 'human rights violations' are charged against the authorities, not the rebellion- this is a misuse of terminology. This section ought to be rewritten entirely. 
At the very least, the army abuses line should be edited and sources of documented rights abuses be referenced. 2A02:1210:5402:8000:D8B4:EFF0:D8C8:2F12 (talk) 17:53, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

message: The contents of the Greek part were mostly unreferenced and since it was just a rote list of various fraternities and sororities without any further detail, I don't see any useful information being shared here. There are pages for listing Greek life, like here, but the general article is not the place for them. Melchior2006 (talk) 13:32, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Stand-alone articles on Greek life are rare, but start as content on a main university article. This is the same process used for alumni lists; the list starts as part of the university article and is moved to a stand-alone article once it reaches a critical mass. Same with sports info. Thus, it is incorrect to say that Greek life content does not belong here.

thread_title: Edited details of killing

message: This entry is a regurgitation of most of the commonly accepted "details" of Goodwin -- according to those who would have him a martyr.  No one knows why he was killed ( as pointed out by the previous post), no one really knows the genesis of his radicalisation. That statement about him being a major figure in the Winnipeg Strike is shear historical fancy ... (there is nothing I could find on this...). It was common practise during WWI to pass on those less than fit and then to assess them as "able" later in the war. So his place in history based upon historical facts and what we know of his life is rather little. For those wanting a spin he is a martyr. For others he may just been a draft dodger who met unfortunate end. Until we know more about this man's life... this entry is pure fantasy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadaman1 (talk • contribs) 06:59, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
