Talk:Georgia on My Mind (novelette)

message: Sheffield Discusses "Georgia On My Mind":
This quote from Charles Sheffield on the writing of "Georgia On My Mind" appears in his collection Dancing With Myself, in the afterword to his story "A Braver Thing":
"One other thing ought to be said about this story. There is a big lump of autobiography here. In it, however elliptically, I approached for the first time the 1977 death of my first wife, Sarah. It was almost certainly her final illness that led me to write fiction at all, after never having considered that before as even a remote possibility. But I could not write about Sarah for another eleven years. And I could not write directly about her for three more years, until last winter the story "Georgia On My Mind" appeared on my computer almost without my knowing it."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom Dean (talk • contribs) 14:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Curwin

message: While I admit that I'm a relative of the subject of this article, I don't believe that there's anything   particularly subjective in the content. I certainly believe that the notability of Richard Curwin is beyond dispute, and having an article about him is justified.
--Curwin 10:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't doubt the notability. However, there is clearly a conflict of interest with the author of this article. There is also evidence of clear subjective bias, as if this article is a job resume. The article does use subjective terms (such as "expert in the field) without any citation beyond his own web site, and lists of awards without verifiable sources. =Axlq 18:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

text: ...says an anonymous user who has been linkspamming Curwin's site to multiple pages, and who probably also has a conflict of interest. =Axlq
Fair enough. As I mentioned, I am related to the subject, not much I can do about that. I will therefore take extra care to make sure there is no purely "promotional" content, and I will try to find some external verifiable sources soon.Curwin 19:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Those lists aren't sufficient but they are excellent candidates for external links.  Actual sentences and claims in the article need their own specific citations. Just read and follow the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and the article should be OK. Generally, any opinion (and superlative terms like "world expert" are opinions) need to be cited as opinions and not facts in the article, and any statement that may be controversial or subject to challenge should be cited. =Axlq 20:37, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Kenneth Branagh

message: My argument is that each director's films are properly subdivided according to format or medium, which is standard for Wikipedia. In contrast, User:Picsovina argues that Kenneth Branagh is well known for Shakespeare adaptations so therefore his Shakespeare adaptations as well as his Agatha Christie adaptations (which have nothing to do with Shakespeare so I don't understand how Picsovia's argument about Branagh being famous for Shakespeare adaptations justifies subdividing Agatha Christie adaptations into a separate group as well) should both be subdivided into separate sections in :Template:Kenneth Branagh, leading to an unwieldy and highly confusing structure according to each film's subject matter rather than format. Other directors famous for directing Shakespeare adaptations include Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles yet their director templates do not subdivide their Shakespeare adaptations into separate sections. John G. Avildsen is famous for directing the Karate Kid movies yet his director template is not divided between Karate Kid films and Other films. George Miller is famous for directing the Mad Max films yet his director template is not divided between Mad Max films and Other films. Guy Hamilton is famous for directing four James Bond films yet his director template is not divided between James Bond films and Other films. There is therefore no real standard established precedent for doing so. Each director's films are properly subdivided according to format or medium, which is standard for Wikipedia. Agree or disagree. --Nicholas0 (talk) 14:51, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Madras curry

message: Madras Curry or Madras Sauce??
I would like to rename this Madras Curry unless there is some good reason not to.
I do not know how to rename an article.
Calling it Sauce instead of Curry is to so a simple translation of an authentic Indian word - is it because it is a Tamil word that the translation is considered necessary?
It seems to me be cultural arrogance to rename something into the closest English word.
Pasta becomes dried wheat paste maybe; pâté becomes paste; pesto becomes paste; the richness of our culinary heritage is eroded by simple translations.

Talk:Montague Miller

message: Miller's anarchism is not given due weight here, he was a member of the Melbourne Anarchist Club. It is true that his politics moved around, and he was active with the Australian Labour party after the anarchist movement faded away. His sympathy for the Bolsheviks was shared by many anarchists up till about 1921.....and Miller died in 1920. Jeremytrewindixon 09:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anarchism 

message: Miller can't have been at the same time (a) born in 1839, (b) gone to Balllarat to follow the goldrush as his friend Westbrook says (c) already been in Ballarat at the age of ten. Because gold was discovered at Ballarat in 1851. Since Miller seems on other grounds to have been vague about his birth year (see the poster on the article) I have judged that he (or Westbrook) most likely got the age he was at apprenticeship wrong. But there are other possibilities. so I've just deleted the refrrence to his age at apprenticeship. Jeremytrewindixon 04:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Panache

message: The last paragraph reads:-
"Panache is a term that Rostand himself created. It stands for many things most of which are honor and pride, but not limiting to that. Panache is the little oomph that brings something over the top. It’s almost the over exaggeration of anything logical, the mere presence of a stronger being inside ones self is worth all the effort to give it. Panache is kind of a thunder inside that as soon as you let it open it pushes itself more and more. It’s what makes the proud, proud it’s the pseudo greatness that we all have inside. Panache is pushing things over the top; it’s adding that always needed extra effort that no one else seems to give."
It seems a bit dubious, and is unsourced (and anonymous)so I've moved it here for discussion. What does anyone else think? Is it OK? Swanny18 11:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I recently read an article on businessweek.com about Starbucks problem with Unions.

Whether this a correct usage of the word, that is for others to decide.
