Talk:Fox Valley (Illinois)

message: This article isnt really true.  Maybe the region in this article is true geographically, but anyone who lives in Wisconsin or nothern Illinois does not consider this area the Fox Valley.  The Fox Valley is considered to be a smaller area located about 100 miles north of Milwaukee.  I currently live in Milwaukee and used to live in Appleton, WI area.  The Appleton area is considered to be the Fox Valley, not the Milwaukee-Chicago area.
The Fox River is one of the only rivers in the US which flows north.  In the Fox Valley the river is very important and was used for trade by the French in the colonial days.  Currently there are paper mills (which is a major industry in the area) located on the river.  The Fox River does travel through much of the state, but the area on the north-west coast of Lake Winnebago (which the river flows into and out of) is what is considered to be the Fox Valley.  The river continues to flow North and empties into Green Bay.  Cities that are considered to be part of the Fox Valley include:  Appleton, Neenah, Menasha, Grand Chute, Kimberly, Kaukana, Oshkosh, and Little Chute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.89.41.93 (talk • contribs) 
:I think that you are referring to the Fox River (Wisconsin). This article is about the Fox River (Illinois), and in fact should be merged with that article. — goethean ॐ 15:11, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I think the IP way above got a little carried away, and overshadowed his main point. The "Fox Valley", which this article is about, refers to an area entirely in Illinois, containing the far western suburbs of Chicago. However, this article also includes areas of Wisconsin (Waukesha, Brookfield, etc.) that would very probably not consider themselves part of the Fox Valley - because to them, the Fox Valley is up by Appleton. Basically, it looks like Fox River (Wisconsin) and Fox River (Illinois River tributary) have this all ironed out, but there're still some problems in this article. This site http://www.foxvalleyillinois.com/ gives a good idea of the locations which are considered part of the Fox Valley in Illinois, but unfortunately I don't think visitors bureaus are considered good references for an encyclopedia. 69.95.240.66 (talk) 16:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

message: "Brilliant Blue" refers to the fact that this is a world covered by water with almost no land.
In my viewing of the series, it seemed that the sky was a recurring theme. It was symbolic of the struggle for the people to return to the surface after being forced to live underwater. I think that's what the brilliant blue refers to, not the endless ocean that caused the near-destruction of terrestrial life.

Talk:The Man Who Planted Trees

message: The definite source for the truth on this is "The Story of Elzeard Bouffier" by Aline Giono. (An afterword of sorts, can be found in some editions of the story.) I'd prefer if someone with good english did it, but there it is. Harg 14:46, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  a link. . . 

message: I'm not sure that Giono didn't know about the problem of sheep eating acorns:
"La pâture de ses bêtes était dans un fond de combe. Il laissa le petit troupeau à la garde du chien et il monta vers l'endroit où je me tenais. J'eus peur qu'il vînt pour me reprocher mon indiscrétion mais pas du tout : c'était sa route et il m'invita à l'accompagner si je n'avais rien de mieux à faire. Il allait à deux cents mètres de là, sur la hauteur."
Giono has Bouffier leave his sheep in their valley pasture and plant acorns on the barren ridge, where the sheep have no reason to go. 
Bouffier protects his tree nursery by his cottage against the sheep:
"Il étudiait déjà, d'ailleurs, la reproduction des hêtres et il avait près de sa maison une pépinière issue des faînes. Les sujets qu'il avait protégés de ses moutons par une barrière en grillage ..."
When he sees Bouffier after the war,
"Il avait changé de métier. Il ne possédait plus que quatre brebis mais, par contre, une centaine de ruches. Il s'était débarrassé des moutons qui mettaient en péril ses plantations d'arbres."
I'm not saying this makes the story true, just defending Giono's arboricultural savoir-faire. Maybe Rackham hadn't read the book recently when he made this point (I haven't got Rackham's book I'm afraid).

message: The article currently says UNOG is the second-largest after the NYC HQ. On a tour of UNOG in August 2009 the UN-employed guide clearly impressed upon the group that UNOG is larger than the UN International Headquarters in New York. He referenced a figure of 9,000 working on site, so I cannot be sure if he was referring to the size in terms of number of people or in terms of the size of the land and/or buildings; nor too can I be sure of the intention of the author in the case of this article.

From my recollection, the series originally aired late at night. However, owing to the success of the character, several of the episodes were shown at a more child-friendly hour; obviously forgetting that the language in some of these shorts was a bit fruity at times. That's the only reason I can think of. Then again, it might just be me, but it looks/sounds funnier if you have to lipread someone mouthing words with barely-suppressed rage.
