Talk:U.S. Soccer Player of the Year

message: HONDA vs Athlete/Chevrolet
Hey, I think it's important to note the difference between these two awards. The Honda award is voted on by the media, and is the award that Dempsey just won recently. It's considered to be the more prestigious of the two. There's also the US Soccer Male Athlete of the Year award, which is given out by the USSF and includes 50% fan voting and 50% media/US soccer officials voting. That one is sponsored by Chevrolet.
Dempsey won the Honda; as far as I know he did not win this award. Last year this award was given out to Kasey Keller in December, so look for this year's edition to be given out next month. I also believe that there isn't a page for the Honda award here on Wikipedia, so that needs to be taken care of. Here's a list of some previous winners of that one. --Scaryice 13:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Blow (Straitjacket Fits album)

message: I removed the Template:Importance because Straitjacket Fits is a notable band. It has released several albums on the Flying Nun label, which is a major label. This makes the band notable according to WP:MUSIC#Musicians and ensembles.It has also gone on a European tour according to the Straitjacket Fits article but there's no source for that. Since the band is notable, the album is also notable, according to WP:MUSIC#Albums. Thaurisil 13:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Anavil

message: Anavil Brahmins are a community of Brahmins who are dominant in the Valsad, Navsari and Surat district of south Gujarat, India, where they have been significant land-owners and have an influential role in politics.
The Anavil are among the Brahmins communities who do not perform a priestly function. They comprise two sub-groups, called the Desai and the Bhathela. The former acted as tax farmers during the era of the Maratha Empire, then as minor rulers and eventually underwent a process of sanskritisation that saw them conform more closely to the classical Brahmin practices.
This entire page is written unprofessionally and provides few substantial citations; this is particularly true about the "historical" section and the "linguistic" analysis of the word Anavil. Please fix this page and bring it up to standard.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.37.224 (talk) 14:51, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Paul Claudel

message: It is true Paul Claudel was no fascist. And it is also true that his position on the Right, as an exponent of Catholic Reaction, facilitated the erection of Vichy as a collaborationist regime and ensured that Petain would become as covered in slime as Pierre Laval, who enthusiastically promoted pro-Nazi collaboration in France. Claudel and others of the Catholic Right became useful to the French fascist movement as one-way screens that opposed and rejected everything progressive because it was tainted with "modernity" but hesitated or entertained even if only momentarily the fascist alternative when it decked itself out as a promise to turn the modern world back.
Ummmm.... What? Claudel was most certainly a fascist. The paragraph above contradicts itself: 
"Paul Claudel was no fascist." and then "his position on the Right, as an exponent of Catholic Reaction"
Excuse me, but the definition of fascism is the political arm of the Catholic right wing.
--Hexag1 (talk) 02:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's not the only or even the prevalent definition. There are arguably two meanings of "fascism", or two distinct types of militant right wing that the word "fascism" can refer to. Fascism of generation 1 (Mussolini, Hitler) does not embrace existing obnoxious cults, it creates its own obnoxious cult; it does not embrace pure conservatism/traditionalism, but rather mixes it oddly with a pseudo-scientific/modernizationist flavour imitating Marxist socialism. In contrast, fascism of generation 2 (Franco, Pinochet) doesn't have much of a theory of its own; it does embrace Catholicism and does end up as little more than the armed force of conservative reaction. The radical left refers to both as "fascism" and likes to emphasize the similarities between the two, but the modern liberal mainstream prefers to emphasize the differences between the two and to reserve the word "fascism" for the first type (if not for Mussolini only). That is because the first type is more similar to Marxism and thus allows the generalization that fascism and socialism are the same genocidal thing, while conservatism is good. --91.148.159.4 (talk) 19:30, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I believe this chemical works just like 2,4 dinitrophenol, There are many similarity's in structure between the two mitochondrial toxins. See: http://scienceblogs.com/moleculeoftheday/2006/11/06/24dinitrophenol-dont-mess-with/
"Since a hydrophobic membrane separates the high- and low-proton concentration sides of the gradient, the protons cannot cross this membrane very easily (except when being used to generate some ATP). The lipophilic 2,4-DNP, however, will move through the membrane with facility, shuttling protons down the gradient along the way. It does this for free, too – you don’t get any ATP out of the deal! The proton gradient is converted into heat. Effectively having a severed fuel line, a DNP-dosed subject will burn many calories (and run a fever) just to keep up with basic ATP requirements."

Talk:South Carolina Highway 544

message: Bannered routes of U.S. Route 501#Conway business loop refers to two northern termini for SC 544. SCDOT maps would seem to contradict this, variously showing one route referred to as "SC 544 Overpass" or "US 501/SC 544 Overpass", and another route as "SC 544 CON". Horry County, SC real estate records seems to show addresses on the "CON" route as being on "Old 544" and addresses on the "Overpass" route as being on SC 544.
The few edits I've done to SC road articles lead me to believe that the state of South Carolina is quite unhelpful by not providing route logs, mileages, straight line diagrams or other authoritative sources. This all needs to be cleared up by someone with subject matter knowledge and possibly added to this article's history. --Chaswmsday (talk) 16:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

text: Well, it looks like you've rewritten it anyway. Thanks. I've found Horry County just about as unhelpful as SC. (Their real estate interface  doesn't seem to allow for address searches). But I did a Google Streetview and found a business called "HCR, Inc." on the old route. Google Maps shows a business at that point called "Lube-N-Wheels" at "477 South Carolina 544". HCR maps to an owner/billing address, and a corporation search for Lube-N-Wheels maps to owners at the same address. Anyway, the parcel's legal description is "N OF COX FERRY RD; E OF OLD 544". A street address in the real estate system might have been cool, but apparently you get what you get... --Chaswmsday (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

message: The first appearance of Venom is actually in "The Comics Journal" #85 which was printed in 1983.  Page 14, top left corner.  It would also be the first appearance of Spiderman in his "black costume".  
Reasoning, Venom is the "suit", which we find out later, but finding out later doesn't negate the fact that the black suite is Venom. the article reads that spiderman will be getting a "new suit", this "new suit" would later on be known as venom.  The picture on page 14 of "the Comics Journal" clearly shows spiderman, in a black costume, a.k.a, Venom, so technically, and I guess, facually, The Comics journal #85 IS the very first appearance of Spiderman in "the black suit" AND the first appearance of Venom. 24.72.8.116 (talk) 04:16, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

If past tense was used then it would suggest that it happened before that date, which in most of the cases it wouldnt have been.
