Talk:Special Olympics World Games

message: The official name of these games, according to Special Olympics, is the Special Olympics World Games . That page name currently redirects here. It seems much more sensible to reverse things, with Special Olympics World Games as the real page and this page as the redirect.

Talk:Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov

message: According to the Nabokov-Wilson letters, his memoirs were well regarded by not only Kerensky, but Trotsky as well.
There are 3 dates for his birth-date that I have found; July 15 1870 is given by the Nabokov Family Web, July 20 1870 on a Stanford University site, and the July 21 1870 on almost all of the English and non-English Wikipedia sites.  Additionally, most of the eastern European/Russian sites seem to have 1869 as the year instead of 1870. I am not sure which of these is correct, but I have not found a non-wiki reference for the July 21 date. --Wiseprincebambi (talk) 02:29, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Lord of Illusions

message: This film is quite complex, especially considering the D'Amour character and the merging of the Noir and contemporary Horror styles.  I plan to add alot to this entry in the near future.
Barker used multiple sources for this movie.   He may have based it on "The Last Illusion", but the scene where all the cult members sink into the mud is from "Skins of the Fathers", an earlier story that he wrote.  The 'Swann' character was the most annoying whiner in the history of film.

Talk:Biopoiesis

message: I removed the following three paragraphs by 203.220.145.117 from the article:
:It is often complained by antievolutionists that the experiments had 1. highly idealised condtions, which geology seems not to support 2. did not create the more complex proteins or DNA chains which are the real barrier for biopoiesis and most definetly did not create the complex synthesis of the two needed for life.	
:It is unclear if biopoiesis is possible and hence their is much creationist liteature attacking this concept and hence naturalism. However these critcisms are often attacked on the ground that they greatly caricture the proposed processes of biopoiesis.
:biopoiesis is technially speaking not part of the theory of evolution however the two are usually linked together by supporters and critics alike, partly because biopoiesis has great signficance for evolution, as it deals with its possible begining and partly because the concept is linked to the larger issue which is at stake, naturalism or "supernaturalism".
The author is introducing external issues that have no bearing on this topic.  Creationism, supernaturalism, and the idea that the concept is linked to the larger issue which is at stake is POV, and perhaps better suited to philosophy.  Also, as I see no good reason to post criticism by biologists on a religious page, likewise, I see no good reason for posting religious criticism on a biology page.  --Viriditas  | Talk 09:48, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:List of rivers of France

message: The Cenischia (its Italian name) should be added. I’d do it myself except that I don’t know whether it has a French name; also it falls within the Po basin. Quite possibly its the only French river whose waters are heading for the Adriatic, in which case it might be better to mention it as the odd river out rather than add a Po basin section. —Ian Spackman (talk) 04:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Reformed theology

message: I'm not sure exactly what should be done with this, but what first got my attention is that its tone seems, well, non-neutral, I guess -- it just doesn't seem encyclopedic in tone.

message: Controversies 
"In January 2021, reports surfaced that Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the King's younger sister, had been taken to the hospital for serious injuries to both her ankles.[54] These injuries appear to be the result of a direct physical attack on the Princess by the King. Reports suggested that the Princess had become angry upon being informed that the King would be formally making a concubine his second wife, making her his second queen.[55] During the heated exchange, sources from the palace say that the King's dogs jumped on the Princess, knocking her over. While on the ground, the king appears to have broken her ankles either by jumping on them or using his cane. More specifics of the encounter remain unclear due to lèse majesté laws, which endanger anybody who divulges information regarding the incident.["

message: If Fenner were a rancher, talking about a "rabbit plague" with the meaning used here might make sense.   However, it is confusing in an article about a scientist and medical doctor, where it sounds like a disease infecting the rabbit population.  Gene Nygaard 12:53, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This statement is not quite right... the more virulent strains of myxoma became extinct or rare as they kill rabbits before the virus can be transmitted. the mutation rates in viruses are quite large, and less virulent forms emerged within 10-ish years. these forms became more common as they could be transmitted before the rabbit died.
in simple terms, the myxoma evolved to be less virulent, as opposed to rabits evolving resistance in a similar fashion to how bacteria evolve antibiotic resistance.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.203.111.120 (talk) 07:48, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Longsword (disambiguation)

message: There is some terminological confusion here. The first paragraph refers to single handed high medieval swords. The second paragraph refers to two handed late medieval swords. The term long sword (langes schwert, ensis longus) is very much a historical term, it was the term for the two handed sword in the 15th and 16th century. If there is another (modern) term "long-sword" that refers to a Knight's sword, the distinction should be made very clear (who calls what a long-sword) dab (ᛏ) 13:13, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: ?

message: Given that latin was mostly used in early medieval times, is there actual reference to "long swords"? The main source referring to swords of different lengths that I recollect refers to the carolingian Spata and semispatum, so the shorter is referred to as short, not the longer as long. This no doubt due to the fact that the longer was the standard of the day, whereas the sax was in declining usage. But my knowledge of sources is quite limited when it comes to those times.
:no, it is modern, English sources (post 18th century) that refer to early medieval swords as long swords. this is about modern terminology, not "period" terminology. 20:00, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I challenge them to provide the proof! No references given! If you write:
"Under Verwoerd opposition to apartheid was heavily repressed, with THE RESULT THAT tens of thousands of people WERE detained and imprisoned, thousands exiled and assaulted, and hundreds tortured and killed in the streets."
That would make more sense, but the word play is he killed thousands or ordered the killing of thousands. Which is a blatant lie!
