Talk:Ars Magica

message: What edition and what books should I get if I want to try to get into the game? -Tubby
The current publisher of the Ars Magica roleplaying game, Atlas Games, (http://www.atlas-games.com/) recently released the newest (4th) edition of the core rulebook to be freely distributed. It is all you need to get started, although there are a lot of different sourcebooks and adventures available.
You'll find the link to the download from their website, on this page:
http://www.atlas-games.com/arsmagica/index.html
-Bearnárd
:There is now a 5th edition (not published electronically).  But the 4th Ed. download is still an excellent starting point. Townmouse 22:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Requisites

message: I've just removed this from the page:
Ars Magica is Latin for "magical arts". It is the name of an ancient book no longer in existance found mentioned only in passing in "Studies in Magic from Latin Literature" by Eugene Tavenner [1913, Columbia University Press] (No date for the publication or author of "Ars Magica" was given, but due to its inclusion in Tavenner's book may be presumed to have been written in latin.)
It's off-topic for this page, but it would be nice for there to be a proper home for it. Percy Snoodle (talk) 13:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd have issues with that translation, as well.  'ars' is singular, so Ars Magica would probably be better as "the art of magic" or similar. Petronivs (talk) 15:11, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Williamson County, Tennessee

message: I removed the misstatement that this county has more sites on the National Register of Historic Places than any other county outside the state of Virginia. The source actually seems to have made that statement, but is nonetheless wrong.
:"Thanks to the Foundation, more than 150 Williamson County properties are on the National Register of Historic Places, more than in any Tennessee County, more in fact, than any place outside of Virginia."
Actually there are 133 properties listed, with 4 more having been delisted, see National Register of Historic Places listings in Williamson County, Tennessee
Philadelphia County, PA has about 525.  Cook County, IL has over 300 in Chicago alone.  For a more rural comparison, Lancaster County, PA has 202.  And there are many others. Smallbones (talk) 05:05, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Tidal locking

message: I think it would be helpful to have more context in the Introduction. I'm not, however, qualified to write it. AFAIK, tidal locking is important in the search for habitable planets, especially those around Red Dwarves?

message: See the new article axial parallelism. It can be considered the "opposite" of tidal locking; I am not aware of any other forms of orbit for spinning bodies.

There is not enough to justify a separate article such as Pocahontas County in the American Civil War. At most about 6-7 paragraphs. Dubyavee (talk) 05:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, you don't need permission to add such a section to the article, but if you do, please try to include citations to reliable sources that can be used to verify the information.  Published books about the Civil War in West Virginia, and to a lesser extent, local histories of Pocahontas County (both preferably with page references) would be your best bet, although you can (with caution) refer to on-line databases of Civil War soldiers, units, and battles.  Bear in mind that privately-run websites may or may not be considered reliable sources, depending on how they're run and for what purpose; anyone can start a web site about a particular Civil War unit, but that doesn't mean that the information on it is reliable or readily verified.  Don't worry if you make a mistake; mistakes are easily edited and corrected.  If the section does go to six or seven paragraphs, it might well be worth splitting into a separate article.  Many articles on Wikipedia are no longer than that.  But I'd say, write it first, and then we'll see if it fits well where it is, or needs to be split off.  Let me know if you need any help!
