Talk:The Monkey's Uncle

message: On a recent CD compilation, Disneymania Volume 4, Devo 2.0 did a song called "Monkey's Uncle".  I had never heard the song before, and I've been told that all the Disneymania compilations consist of modern pop artists redoing songs from Disney movies.  Logically, that leads me to think that it's a cover of the title song from this movie, however that is an assumption and I don't want to add it to the article without further evidence.  Would someone who knows how to research such things like to take the initiative and update the article?  It might also be helpful to add a mention of it to the Devo 2.0 article as well, since it currently only has the self-titled album listed. - Ugliness Man 14:15, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nearly a year later, but I finally heard the original song, as a friend of mine loaned me a "Classic Disney Songs" collection.  The Devo 2.0 song is indeed the same song, but in a much different style.  I'm not sure, however, if it would be worthwhile to mention it in the article, since the article is about the movie.  If anyone else wants to figure out a way to make it a worthwhile addition, have at it, but I think I'll just leave it alone for now (although I will likely edit the Devo 2.0 article). - Ugliness Man 01:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Devo 2.0 

message: I know this movie almost by heart and I can see this plot summary needs a lot of work. The person who asks for man-powered flight goes by "Darius Green III" and "Mr. Astorbilt" is the other alter ego of the crazy gentleman who will give money to Midvale if they cancel their football program. Furthermore, the movie is pretty much divided into two nearly independent plots. The sleep-learning segment with the football team happens before the money grants from Darius Green/Mr. Astorbilt. Sleep-learning plays only a minor role in the second half of the movie where it is used to instill confidence in football player Leon who was selected for the test-flight by drawing of straws. I'll come back to work on this summary later. But anyone else is free to begin making changes if they want. --LuciusPius (talk) 01:22, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Maria Josepha of Saxony, Dauphine of France

message: I have repeatedly asked other editors to look at reputable sources such as the Almanach de Gotha and even given a link to a site which includes the full-text of most volumes .  Perhaps I should not be surprised when an editor mentions the website almanachdegotha.org.  This is DEFINITELY NOT the source to which I referred; anybody with the slightest knowledge of noble titles would know that.  The website is a totally unscholarly and quite amateurish production.  The books, even with their biases and errors (present in virtually all published works), are still recognised as THE source about European royalty. Noel S McFerran (talk) 14:05, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Noel S McFerran (talk) is being evasive. Once again, he is not offering any 18th Century proof that the children of Augustus III of Poland were not princes and princesses. In fact, the 1821 edition of the Almanach de Gotha (the earliest edition available on the site he links to) explicitly describes one brother of Marie-Josèphe as a prince and one sister as a princess:
The source also describes another brother, Prince Albert of Saxony, Duke of Teschen as a duke:
It is unclear, however, if the title "duc" refers to Albert's birth title or title as the Duke of Teschen.

thread_title:  Suggestion: change picture of Maria Antonia 

message: Every elected king of Poland had to sign the Henrician Articles. By that he vowed, among others, that his children would never be stylized princes or princesses of Poland. Neither by birth nor by rank. Simply not at all. In Poland she'd be called "królewna" meaning king's daughter, just like "kowalówna" is a smith's daughter. It's not a title.

Talk:Chinface

message: Some chinface artists choose, for example, to use discarded animal eyes for authenticity. See the photograph above, where genuine rabbit eyes are utilised. 
-- This raises concern regarding individuals being encouraged to do such behaviour and possible animal abuse etc, hence has been removed
Is such concern a genuine Wikipedia guideline for removal, or was that a personally motivated edit?  If the former, you're probably better off citing the rule so as to avoid accusations of the latter. Asat 07:14, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Gwynfor Evans]]

message: This article starts by referring to the Mab Darogan as a figure in Welsh and Cornish tradition and is categorised as such, yet there is not a single word after that about the Mab Darogan in Cornwall. He is a familiar presence in medieval Welsh literature with a large corpus of prophetic poems about him, for instance, but I must admit that the Cornish dimension is new to me. What is the basis for it? Certainly not medieval Cornish literature. So is there a tradition? What about his name in Cornish? Sources please? Enaidmawr 21:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can find nothing in my books or on the web about a Cornish Mab Darogan. I'm removing the reference and the category.

message: The following implies that the company was not originally known as Victorinox:
The company was founded in 1884. Since 1891, the company has delivered knives to the Swiss army. Their famous emblem—a cross in a shield—has been used by Victorinox since 1909. That year, the mother of founder Karl Elsener died and he named the company "Victoria" in her honour. In 1921, with the introduction of "inox" (ab. for acier inoxydable, the French term for stainless steel) into their products, the brand and name of the company became the present "Victorinox" ("Victoria"+"Inox").
