Talk:The Broken Bubble

message: The Recurring character section makes it sound as if Jim Briskin is "inexplicably black" in the two short stories, but I can't remember his pigmentation being mentioned in either of them. It's only in The Crack in Space / Cantata 140 that he's directly stated as being black, and far from being "a 'same character, different lives' kind of thing" he is in that novel explicitly stated to be a former TV newsclown with a flaming red wig, i.e. the exact same Jim-Jam Briskin as in the short stories. Crack/Cantata also has a counterpart of the stripper Thisbe Holt: Thisbe Olt, star attraction of the Golden Door Moments of Bliss pleasure satellite.

message: I recently re-read this series, and while reading through issue 12, it is promised in the Editorial section that the Planet Terry series will continue in the back of the Wally the Wizard series (like how Top Dog continued in the back of the Heathcliff comics books).

Talk:Martian Time-Slip

message: I just added plot and essay-entry templates to this article, as it reads like an essay someone wrote attempting to summerize the plot. It would seem whomever wrote this article put alot of work into it, however it's style reads more like a book report than an encyclopedia entry. The plot sections are incomprehansible unless you just read the book, as they jump back and forth through the plot with no particular logic. The themes sections are also in dire need of cleanup and referencing. darkskyz 14:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mexican't Buy Me Love

message: the music played during this episode's opening title sequence is a Mexican version of the Drawn Together theme.
I don't quite understand this. Is this saying that the theme was modified to sound Mexican, or that this is the theme that plays when this show is aired in Mexico?
Either way, I have to say that it's false. I don't hear the Drawn together theme ANYWHERE in this version, and living in Mexico, I can say that, like most shows that originate in the U.S., It's the English version with Spanish subtitles, the only editing being the removal of Ling-Ling's subs. (It may have been the channel I was watching it on though). DSMeatte 08:04, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The theme was modified to sound Mexican. I'm not sure what you heard in the version you saw, but in the version of the episode that aired here, the song playing during the opening credits is the same tune as the Drawn Together theme, only played in a style resembling Mexican music.Raymondluxuryacht 08:51, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: We will never know if the subject was a savant. But, we could retrospectively determine (not diagnose) such a possible condition. Unfortunately, that hope would necessarily rely on today's criteria, wouldn't it? Therein lies the rub. Individuals in history are dead and, therefore, should reside in their own time. It is difficult to describe their conditions. This conundrum is exactly why I have hoped that WP policies would allow for retrospective articles based on best standards. If a subject is dead, we should rely on the evidence of the subject's life to inform us about such a determination. That WP provides only policies which stridently avoid retrospective considerations seems to me to be short-sighted and oddly selective. After all, many WP articles are revised as new information comes to light despite one's prior death; but, not when the information relates to a medical or psychological condition which comports with criteria? No, this a bothersome double standard. WP should have retrospective articles and categories if and when the information supports it.174.23.149.96 (talk) 12:34, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Wind Horse

message: This page could use a lot more detail about the use of the term in Tibetan to refer to Qi or internal energy. But it might make more sense to merge this page and redirect to Lungta which is the Tibetan word for wind horse (literal translation)  - Owlmonkey (talk) 19:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lungta 

message: I've copied text that was deleted from the article:
:Possible origins of the wind horse can be found in the region of Mongolia as a component of Tengriism. The Turco-Mongolian legend reports of a magical horse, which was born as a foal with eight legs and the ability to fly. The wind horse was the spiritual child of a shaman woman named Chichek (Turkic for "flower", in Mongolian tsetseg), and should help her to escape the reign of an evil Khan. This succeeds only after his death, when it appears in Chicheks dream and carries her away. In Mongolian representations, the wind horse is usually shown with wings.
 
:Khiimori represents the inner strength of a human, his soul. This strength helps to find the balance between father sky (old Turkic: Tengri, Mongolian: Tenger) and mother earth. Good deeds strengthen the soul. Every act that disturbs the balance of the world causes the inner strength to shrink. This way tengriism explains why evil humans often develop self-destructive behaviour.
It seemed worth keeping a record of, in the event that whoever added it would care to add citations that would warrant inclusion. But I agree that it is perhaps to speculative to include without citations.Sylvain1972 (talk) 14:33, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "Hii mori" is word-for-word translation of "lung tai". Just like the English translation "wind horse". It's from the "Lung tai shug so" sutra. The Mongolian name of this exclusively popular sutra is "Hiimoriin san", but it is enchanted in Tibetan. Enchanting this sutra brings luck. Often they say "hii mori lung tai" as a stable phrase.
