Talk:Captain Midnight

message: Captain Midnight was a popular radio serial from the late 1930's. More info here: . I believe the radio serial ran until the early 50's. In the mid 50's, it became a television show. Eventually, a movie was made.
This entry for "Captain Midnight" is not the common use of the term, and should be completely replaced.
A disambiguation page would be better.
I found the page this through the satellite hijacker.
*Comment
In 1942, Captain Midnight was a Columbia movie serial. It was also a Fawcett comic book during the 1940s.
*Comment
The radio show ran from 17 October 1938 through 15 December 1949.
*Comment
The link to the Captain Midnight Decoder is in error;  First, it's a general introduction to ciphers.  Second, it cites a Captain Midnight Decoder Ring.  Neither the radio nor the television show ever offered such a ring.  a better link would be to www.theCrimsonCollector.com -- OVALTINE, which discusses all the cryptological premiums.
¶  I would be loath to contradict someone with authority here, but I definitely recall owning a Capt Midnight decoder - I think it was a ring - during the period of the TV series, and, on more than one occasion, actually decoding some trifling message about next week's show.  I also add that the TV show had a Secret Squadron emblem -- different from that gilded badge connected to the earlier radio series, shown in the article -- the major distinction was that the TV emblem had the large letters S & Q  (I suppose in the decade following WW2, "SS" had unappetizing associations).Sussmanbern (talk) 02:26, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Exarchate of Africa

message: One of my most respected sources, Bruce Gordan's Regnal Chrononlogies, makes a mention in his entry for the city of Constantine in north Africa. And Euratlas' maps of Europe in 500 AD and 600 AD both show a "Kingdom of the Romans and Moors in Algeria, not under Vandal control.
They also show a distinct "Mauri" kingdom in Morrocco.
Would it be plausible to then say that part of the Western Empire survived the fall of Nepos and Syagrius? I unfortunately don't yet have more information, and wanted to bring it to your mutual attentions. It would make a very interesting note in this and a few other articles... Respectfully, Thomas Lessman (talk) 07:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was not a kingdom under Roman or Byzantine rule in any sense, rather it was a leftover of the old Roman province of Mauretania, which was not occupied by the Vandals. The kingdom was based primarily on the indigenous Mauri, plus the Romanized population of the coasts and cities (much like post-Roman Britain or the kingdom of Syagrius). Its capital was at Altava, and it survived until the late 570s, when it was defeated by the Byzantines, although whether they occupied its territory is unknown. AFAIK, there isn't much information on the kingdom, except some references by Byzantine and other authors, especially John of Biclaro, and various inscriptions of "imperator" Masties at Arris and Masuna at Altava, bearing the titles "rex gentium Maurorum et Romanorum"... There is little concrete info on the exact number of Mauri tribal kingdoms in Mauritania and Numidia, nor of their mutual relations, as mostly only the names of their chiefs are known. At any rate, the last great ruler was one Garmul, who was defeated by the Byzantines. If you can read French, check this out for some more info. Cplakidas (talk) 16:30, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Toothpaste

message: In the US (and perhaps elsewhere), toothpaste has an expiration date. My quick research shows that this is because the FDA regulates fluoride additives, claiming that after two years, "the fluoride breaks down".

thread_title:  How much does he get for his labour? 

message: I’m all about it long and in-depth Wikipedia articles, but does the personal life section here being mostly about Michael Jordan playing with Hamilton during his relatively short Washington tenure seem somewhat awkward? I concede it seems that Jordan certainly impacted Hamilton for the year they played together AND that Jordan is a very notable sports figure, but I’m not sure this quote and heavy.com interview are notable enough to be included on this page. For instance, Jordan was teammates with many players, as was Kobe, as well as Magic Johnson, as was Kareem, etc., that does not necessarily mean that players they impacted should have lengthy quotes in their own personal life sections in their Wikipedia pages about previously-stated role model players. I guess I would add that Hamilton was a multiple time All-Star and famous enough player in his own right, which I think one could say makes it feel even more out of place to have half of his personal life is about a teammate of his. Thanks for any responses, in advance. La rodman (talk) 00:51, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Georg Henrik von Wright

message: Saying that von Wright was of Scottish descent is very far-fetched. He himself pointed out that his earliest known ancestor lived in Narva in Estonia around 1650 and that this man may have had Scottish descent. So not only is there no proof of any Scottish descent, but even if true, we are talking of one single ancestor many generations and more than 250 years removed. If we would talk about descent using similar reasoning in other articles, almost anyone would be of multiple descent. JdeJ (talk) 11:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I'd like to add a bit about the "Silly Hour" which was a key part of the show in the late 80s and early 90s. The first hour - I think it was from 9-10pm - was a free-for-all, mostly occupied by quick jokes and regular callers.
I have to admit my own participation. I phoned in regularly as a train-spotter called Arfur Braincell. I first did it as a joke, as some friends at college were phoning in telling appalling jokes. Imagine my surprise when it took off, I got fan-mail, and actually did an hour live on air as Arfur at Piccadilly. Very weird - and James did seem to be pissed when he turned up for the show. Might not have been, but looked (and sounded) like it to me.

I'm not certain that "educational value" is the criterion used on this page, else why are there the pictures of churches named for St. Guthlac, which pictures have nothing to do with the person himself? The inclusion of the modern icon shows that there is currently some cultus of the saint, just as the church pictures give witness to a medieval cultus.
