Talk:Dwight's Speech

message: Does anyone know what Creed says in Chinese when he's saying hello to his friends in China? Does it mean anything at all?
What does Creed say in Mandarin?- JustPhil 02:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He says "我的中華的朋友你好" = "Hello, my Chinese friends" in an accent so bad I didn't even understand it the first several times. And to add insult to injury, it's in the wrong language! (They speak Cantonese in Hong Kong, not Mandarin.) -- Raymondc0 07:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically, it's in the wrong dialect. And Phil did ask for what Creed says in Mandarin. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 23:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "The identification of the varieties of Chinese as "languages" or "dialects" is controversial" according to the Chinese language page. Mandarin and Cantonese are about as similar as Italian and Spanish. Very similar but mutually unintelligible. Perhaps I should've used the term "variety" rather than "language" to avoid the controversy. My point was that if Creed is saying hello to his friends in Hong Kong, he should probably speak a variety of Chinese they can understand. -- Raymondc0 06:20, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know from which speech(es) of Mussolini Dwight's speech was cribbed?
*Was Mussolini really a big podium-pounder? When Jim was recommending Dwight slam his fists a lot while speaking, the first person I thought of was Nikita Khrushchev. He was notorious for that kind of stuff. He most famously disrupted proceedings at the UN throughout September and October of 1960 by pounding on his desk and shouting in Russian while other delegates were speaking. I just wasn't sure if Mussolini also did those same things while speaking. SpudHawg948 (talk) 08:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there any consensus on if the text of Dwight's Speech belongs in this article? I have reverted it from the previous edits by User:Peregrine_Fisher as I felt that we should at least discuss the change. ~<B>Cr∞nium</B> 16:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Quotes are supposed to be at wikiquote, which is linked to from this page and has the speech. - Peregrine Fisher 17:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: From your statement I believe you are referring to WP:WWIN specifically "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information", however the speech, which is the title subject, hardly qualifies as "trivia". Also please refrain from removing the material until WP:Consensus. ~<B>Cr∞nium</B> 20:12, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's from WP:WWIN#Wikipedia is not a directory, which says lists of quotes should be on wikiquote.  Personally, I like quotes on WP, but there's a consensus to not put them on episode pages.  Maybe the speech is different from a quotes section.  I'll leave it in, someone who cares more can remove it if they want. - Peregrine Fisher 20:22, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Can we get a read on attributing lines of Dwight's speech to their actual sources? We know from the episode that the speech is pulled broadly from Mussolini, but there really isn't a solid, credible source that goes through and discusses the origin of each line, even if a pretty solid guess can be made. All things considered, the text box (which I've cleaned up and auto-collapsed) in the cultural references section really isn't a huge deal, but I worry that it is bordering on original research. Any thoughts?--Gen. Quon[Talk] 15:03, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
