Talk:At sixes and sevens

message: Added a brief line including Shakespeare's use of the expression. I put it in the paragraph regarding Chaucer since we know that Shakespeare read Chaucer, but it doesn't seem that there's any specific relation between the two usages. I merely thought it seemed relevant.
I don't think "There is also a story using this phrase as it's title, written by ~Gibah at gibah.deviantart.com" should be a part of this article.  Aside from the lack of punctuation and the misuse of the contraction "it's", there is the obvious problem that, honestly, nobody reading an article about an expression cares that a little-known story is named after it.  If anywhere on Wikipedia, this information should show up in a box saying "For the story of the same name, see At Sixes and Sevens (story)" - and that would only make sense if the story was important enough to be a Wikipedia article.  
If, 124.180.198.48, you are indeed ~Gibah at deviantART, you ought to check out WP:NOT#SOAP #2.  I hope you are not intentionally using Wikipedia as a tool to expand your audience.
I'm reverting again because there is much more harm to be done to the quality of the article by having one inappropriate (my view) sentence present than by having one appropriate (presumably your view) but clearly non-critical sentence absent.  Can we please leave the article in its original form until we've discussed this issue?

message: I changed the Chinese example, which I don't think was totally inaccurate, but I think it was not very good.  The original expression "乱七八糟" is translated as "at sixes and sevens" by www.mdbg.net, but both translate.google.com and www.nciku.com agree that "七上八下" is a better translation for that particular idiom, and both are more notable sources.  "七上八下" is also the one I've heard, as popularized by the song by Jolin Tsai. Carychan (talk) 07:38, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

message: This chilean idiom doesn't really indicate something in a state of chaos. It is more an indication of mediocrity, which comes from the school grading system. It goes from 1 to 7, with 4.0 and above being a pass. So, "al tres y al cuatro" means that it's graded ranging from 3.0 to 4.9, which is from failing to just barely passing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 54.240.196.169 (talk) 21:39, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  The same is true of several other idioms in that section, which have nil relevance - they simply use numbers, but the meaning is quite different. The English phrase has nothing to do with anyone telling porkies, for example.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.21.4 (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Surely, someone must have noticed this, if not to debunk it TomS TDotO (talk) 17:25, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
