Saint James has stated that she has returned to the Church following her estrangement, in part, because "It's the only way I know how to pray".

replies: text:  Yes by all means, if you can. The likely answer seems obvious to me: intent on a career as a singer, model, or actress, she probably figured that "Susan Saint James" was more differentiating, charismatic, and memorable than "Susan Miller". It says here that she was sent to college, lasted one week, then "changed her name and went to New York to model" although it doesn't say why, exactly. It's possible her intent was to hide her activities from her parents. Anyway that's only a blog, although it references as 1973 TV Guide piece, if you can find it. It may not answer the "why" question, but at least it can say when she changed her name. Herostratus (talk) 01:53, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Heck, I don't know if this article should even exist at all! I've been debating that - I can see the value in listing plasma proteins, but wonder which form it should take (list, etc). Certainly hemoglobin shouldn't be a free plasma protein, but the title of the article really doesn't specify plasma vs. "blood," which would technically include hemoglobin. Obviously the text specifies, but it might be nice to redirect blood protein to a plasma protein page (leaning away from a list) so that we can specify the clinically important aspects.

It's true some celebrities are "coy" in a sense, although I would disagree about Gershon. She just was never really asked her religion, and I've seen plenty of mentions about her being Jewish in recent years, if she was once really coy she certainly isn't anymore. I don't think Gellar converted to Christianity, or else she would have told Stern about it in March '99 when he really drilled her about it. Stern claimed to be half Jewish so that anti-Semites won't call in and criticize him for being Jewish. He explained that on Larry King. As for Wahlstrom, she is really minor-level and I seriously doubt she would give an interview with the Jewish Journal just to deny that she's Jewish. If anything, she's coy about being NON-Jewish!

Talk:Johnny Bucyk

message: I edited the comment about the trade being one of the most one-sided in history because it was inaccurate.  Although Sawchuk had his very best days in his first stint with the Wings 1950-55, it would be hard to call him a bust in his second stint from 1957-64.  Sawchuk appeared in the Cup finals three times, the NHL all star game three more times and was selected to the NHL Second All Star team three more times.  He also recorded another 28 shutouts in those seven seasons.  The trade benefitted both teams.
I also edited the next comments because I felt it was more important to emphasize Bucyk's consistency and durability, rather than Horvath's scoring.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helmut Hedd (talk • contribs) 16:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed Merge

message: I think maybe the wording should be changed in the section that reads "Chinese Checkers and several variants of chess have also been invented for a hex board". This reads as if Chinese Checkers doesn't normally use a hex board. "Chinese Checkers" (aka. "Sternhalma" or "Star Halma") is a variant of the game "Halma" which differs in that it uses a hex grid laid out in the shape of a star rather than the 16x16 square-grid that Halma uses. The hex grid may not be apparent because most boards only show the lines connecting from each hexagon's center to it's adjacent hexagon's centers rather than showing the outlines of the hexagons themselves. Nevertheless, the pieces still move along a hex grid, with 6 possible directions to move from each position. I also wonder if this is perhaps the oldest known board game to use a hex grid. I am not aware of any which are older. This game was invented in 1892. Not old at all by board game standards, but none of the older board games i am familiar with use a hex grid. -- 17:41, 7 August 2021 71.92.198.151

Talk:Muro Lucano

message: The city's dialect is called Murese. This dialect is exclusive to the city and is often unintelligible to Italian speakers. It is believed to have originated from the Oscan language.
This is a rather significant claim, and one which I have to look at skeptically. How is it possible that the Osco-Umbrian branch of the Italic languages thought to have been extinct for a few thousand years have a contemporary living descendant, and yet has absolutely NO apparent coverage or study by linguists in spite of that remarkable status?
I simply find it unbelievable that Murese could be descended from the Oscan language - even in partial influence - and yet has not been covered at all by any research as far as I could find. Can anybody provide any source for this claim? Because if not, it's quite likely that any lack of intelligibility between Murese and Standard Italian - a claim which also needs to be cited - is for reasons other than Oscan influence.

He doesn't have a sigil (Neither does Arywn or Obregon), so no it doesn't make him a candidate for a sigil-bearer there isn't even a candidacy. Danik was probably like "don't put your eggs into one basket" or "i'll probably need back-ups knowing these humans."
