Talk:The Harder They Come

message: The article used to state that there are two alternate endings to the film, and it implied that the final 10 minutes are different. I have seen both versions, and Googled "harder they come endings", and I am 99.9% sure there are not alternate endings. The difference is that the final shot lasts a few seconds longer in one version than the other. In one version, the final shot ends as Ivan is falling down dead. In the other version, the final shot lasts a few seconds longer, so you see a policeman come up and disarm Ivan's corpse. This difference was probably exaggerated by people who saw the shorter version and were not sure whether Ivan was dead, but I believe it was obvious in both versions. 24.91.17.163 (talk) 02:17, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

For reference, we might have a gallery of images that are not gloriosa.
As well as the above image to the left,
, this image (to the right) is also not a gloriosa but a W. stricta ().  because: a) the habit is wrong, W. gloriosa forms a mat with short flower stalks, W. stricta forms a mound with talk flower spikes. b) the colour is wrong. Yes, W. gloriosa is hard to photograph, but the colour should still be darker () c) I think the 'style' should be 1 or two lobes rather than 3. d) the vegetation is wrong, in all the places I've seen it in the wild it is growing with either alpine poas (such as fawcettae or heimata) or in shaded mountain forest on rock faces. e) the petals are flattened rather than tubular.

message: I started this category because I thought it would be useful to have a list of lagoons, and because some lagoons do not have "lagoon" in their titles.

We could define this category as "coastal lagoons", which would avoid overlap, but there are a few atolls that aren't in the Pacific Ocean (see Marquesas Keys) which wouldn't fit in either category.
