message: Is his somehow related to Marxism-Leninism? The idea that individuals should contribute to society opposed to selfishly doing things only for themselves? Wikidudeman (talk) 00:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I may be presuming here, but wow... talk about trying to pigeon-hold something into contemporary political extremes. Cicero said this over 2000 years ago. How could it be related to Marxist-Leninism? Your comment sounds like you're wanting to be sure that its not some "darn anti-American, commie" motto? How dare those ancient Romans! and by the way, I hear that early Christians had some pinko ideas too... some Sermon on the Mount about turning the other cheek and not being selfish. *grin* Just take it at face value and use it as you want.

replies: text: The Philosophy of Marx didn't just pop out of thin air when he wrote it out. He was inspired by philosophies and writings from around the world. The idea of Marxism-Leninism is to devote your work and time to the community (hence communism) opposed to yourself. This seems to be what Non Nobis Solum is asserting. I'll try to find a source to see if Marx took any of his philosophy from Cicero. Wikidudeman (talk) 16:40, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you'll find many latter day philosophers were influenced, in radically different ways, by Cicero and other ancients. Their use or interpretation of Cicero's teachings means little in regard to what Cicero himself meant. In the same way, Marx's views has been interpreted differently by his ideological successors. So, related? Perhaps but only with a stretch of imagination and by accepting Marx's view that its related. Others would disagree and their view is equally valid. Tfleming 13:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:MechaMew2

message: Why is this linked under "Pokémon Species"? It's not actually a Pokémon... it's just a robot that can copy Pokémon attacks. Not even particularly powerful either (self-destructing couldn't even kill ONE normal human at point-blank range!?), just good at resisting Pokémon attacks (which doesn't take much considering how every human in the anime can easily survive any and all Pokémon attacks they get hit by... and of course something like this would never happen anywhere other than the anime's nonsensical universe.)
I'd classify it more as something along the lines of Team Rocket's never-ending stream of robots (except with much better programming--artificial intelligence, etc.) rather than an actual Pokémon. 64.12.116.195 01:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Look all you want in old newspapers covering the story at the time, and you will find no mention of Silver Cliff even being in contention. The winters are cold in those little mining towns, and before TV there was little to do except hang around the bars and swap yarns until everyone in town believed them.

Talk:Congressional staff

message: I've only begun to search, however it is relatively difficult to find information, whether on Wikipedia or via a Google search, pertaining to makeups of a congressional staff.  For example, how many staff members serve a Representative, Senator, or State Rep./Senator, what is their function, salary, etc.?  Anyone who can find more information on this topic and add it to this or another appropriate congressional staff article is more than welcome to do so- I for one am curious as to what sorts of staff serve and what their various purposes (specifically) are.

Talk:Frame and panel

message: Going to revise the section on Frame - as current worded it confuses the construction method (mortise & tenon, etc) with the profiling method, which are seperate things.  So will try to describe construction first, then profiling.  Will also remove the line about cutting the profile with a router after assembly, since that's not possible (the panel would be in the way of the router bit).
Will also move the process of assembly paragraph to a seperate section.
Also considering changing the British "mitre" to the US "miter", which is probably the more common spelling for an angled joint now-a-days.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.123.64 (talk) 00:26, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk:The Wanderers (1979 film)

message: OK, I'm glad we got the language of the first paragraph worked out! Let's say we try to flesh out this article. Great film -- certainly deserves it.--Mantanmoreland 18:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "The Wanderer" was originally sung by Dion - written by his buddy Ernie Maresca. In 1961 Dion cut two takes of the song. Take 2 was the master. On YouTube, for instance, you find the original demo-version sung by Ernie Maresca - very interesting, but uncool. Del Shannon recorded some great music, too. But as far as I know, he never recorded "The Wanderer". On the other hand, at that time it was quite common to release an album that contained only 50% original material. The remaining 50% were cover versions of - more or less up to date - hits and being used to fill up the record. Dion did that on his Laurie solo albums (he covered classic doowop songs as well as Bobby Darin's "Dream Lover", for instance), Chubby Checker did that (he covered Dion's "Runaround Sue"), even The Beatles did that (their first albums contained 50% roch'n'roll classics from the 50s like "Twist and Shout", "Roll over Beethoven" and "You really got a hold on me", of which the original is featured in this movie). So maybe Del Shannon did that, too. But it definitely was none of his hit singles. And if he recorded "The Wanderer" (which I think he did not), it was just to fill up an album.Nikoskla (talk) 19:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Sometimes scenes are being censored, sometimes scenes are being cut for no understandable reason. The German cinema and VHS version was only 95 minutes. They cut more than 15 minutes. One of the deleted scenes was the one where Joey meets Perry at the elevator of their tenement building. This scene is essential to understand how Perry, "the stranger", can disappear after beating up the Baldies in one moment and the next moment Joey drives with him to school. I have no idea why it was cut. But in Germany they didn't cut Turkeys death. Years later the so called director's cut was released on VHS in Germany. And on DVD, nowadays, it is the only version available: 113 minutes. I hope it is the full movie, because the article here gives a running time of 117 min. It is either a mistake or the German director's cut DVD is still 5 min short.Nikoskla (talk) 19:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

The Wanderers is a drama. I would change it myself but I have been shut down for this more than once by self declared Wiki Police so I stopped editing.

Talk:Ås, Akershus

message: This was so amusing I transferred it to the talk page. If you can provide a published reference, we should restore it:  
:: "The natives of Ås, called “Ås-bønder”, are mostly farmers, and are famous for their strength and stamina. Every weekend they gather at “Smia” and “Bugge'n” (driving there in their John Deere and Lamborghini tractors), drinking their famous home-brew based on potatoes and corn, battling to be the one getting most drunk in least time. These drinking competitions climax every year at “Ås-mart’n”, where everyone meets in a large tent near the town hall for a huge drinking contest, and the winner of this event is celebrated widely. The greatest competitor of all times, Kåre “Kompost” Østgård, actually committed suicide after winning the competition five years in a row, thus leaving himself undefeated.
::Ås is sometimes compared to Drøbak and Ski, the neighbor municipals of Ås, but that is a great mistake, because Ås is much better than those two towns. The inhabitants of Drøbak and Ski are dense and stupid and in no comparison with people from Ås, who are beautiful, intelligent and thoughtful."
