Talk:Tecumseh's curse

message: I made a minor edit to the grenade thrown toward Bush ("Current Status").  It sounded as if the only reason the president didn't die was becuase the grenade didn't go off, when in fact it didn't even get close to him.  source:  CNN   http://sidebar.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/20/bush.grenade/24.64.223.203 00:36, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grenade in Tbilisi 

message: The curse article should exist just as the Curse of the Bambino article exists, despite it being over. And, just as that article mentions the 2004 Red Sox, this article should include details on how the curse has been violated, though both times by presidents with near'er-death experiences than most get in office. Staxringold 22:42, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Choking on a pretzel, and a grenade that didn't go off, aren't "near'er-death experiences" than most presidents get in office.  Just in recent history, Gerald Ford had two assassination attempts against him, and Bill Clinton had a Cessna crash into the White House lawn, fell down a flight of stairs, and had the usual assortment of crazies sending him death threats.  I have no argument against the curse article existing; the supposed curse is an interesting and notable topic.  And I also agree that it should be mentioned that the curse has been violated by Reagan still being alive.  But I disagree that we need to have a laundry list of ways that Bush might have died but didn't.  It's original research and doesn't add anything to the article. —Cleared as filed. 00:22, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Clinton wasn't in the White House when the plane crash and he wasn't the target, and falling down the stairs isn't a near death experience (he didn't even lose conciousness). And 2 things are not a laundry list, they are a quick mention of the curse breaker #2 with ways he came close. Staxringold 11:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Losing consciousness isn't a near-death experience either.  The two things are jokes compared to Reagan being shot and being operated on in the emergency room.  They're like stretching to find something that almost killed Bush, and it's completely original research. —Cleared as filed. 11:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I was reading up on the article The Monster with 21 Faces and I couldn't help but notice that there are a few superficial similarities between this manga and the MW21F. What really stuck out was that the titles are similar and that both broke crimes and sent letters taunting people. Obviously the nature of the crimes perpetrated by the two individuals are very different, but there's just enough of a similarity to where I wonder if CLAMP drew on this for the manga. I don't know if there's a good way to write it into the article or if the similarities are intentional or not, so I decided to mention it here first. I'm going to try to do a little research on this, but if anyone else knows anything about this then let me know. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:59, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Aria

message: User:Ta bu shi da yu had moved this page to aria musical term and made this a disambiguation page pointing there and to Australian Record Industry Association. I have changed it back because it's quite clear that when people link to "aria" they almost always mean the musical form, not the ARIA (checking "what links here" confirms this), and because the acronym, as far as I can make out, is usually capitalised anyway. A note at the bottom of this page pointing to Australian Record Industry Association is quite sufficient, I think. (By the way, if this page did need to be moved in the future for some reason, it should be to something like "aria (music)", not "aria musical term".) --Camembert
Since "Aria" is the name of a comic book, and a role-playing game, as well as probably a number of other things, I'm going to split this off into a disambig page again.  LordAmeth 12:32, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:The table seems a bit awkward when they could be listed thus:
for soprano:
*"O mio babbino caro" Gianni Schicchi (Giacomo Puccini)
*"Der Hölle Rache"  The Magic Flute (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
*"Ombra mai fu" Serse (George Frideric Handel)
for tenor:
*"La donna è mobile" Rigoletto (Giuseppe Verdi)
*"Nessun dorma"  Turandot (Giacomo Puccini)
*"E lucevan le stelle" Tosca (Giacomo Puccini)
for baritone:
*"Largo al factotum" The Barber of Seville (Gioachino Rossini)
*"Votre toast" (Toreador song) Carmen (Georges Bizet)
I am not sure what "Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour" (The Barcarolle) from 'The Tales of Hoffmann' would be considered, but it should also be listed.

Talk:Strathclyde Partnership for Transport

message: Where did the names of the railway lines come from? Aprat from the Argyle Line, I have never heard of them. Especially "the Croy line", as no services are run that terminate at Croy, all trains to Croy go to either Edinburgh or Stirling???
Answer: Croy is the last station for which SPT is responsible. As for the other lines:
Ayrshire Coast Line - connects Glasgow with the Ayrshire Coast
Cumbernauld Line - connects Glasgow with Cumbernauld new town
Inverclyde Line - connects Glasgow with Inverclyde (traditional name for Port Glasgow, Greenock, Gourock area)
North Electric Line - one of the first two suburban lines that got electrified, and runs north of the River Clyde
North Surburban Line - serves northern suburbs of Glasgow, also called Maryhill Line after its terminal (and most important) station
Paisley Canal Line - named after its terminus
Shotts Line - named after the last station for which SPT is responsible
South Electric Line - as North Electric, but runs south of the river
South West Line - no specific reason
West Highland Line - route to the western Highlands
Whifflet Line - named after its terminus
I think some of these names are opinion rather than those actually in use, the only ones I've ever heard of in actual use are Inverclyde, Cathcart Circle, North Electrics, Paisley Canal, West Highland and Argyle. In addition the train workings from Ayr to New Cumnock were launched as the Burns Line. My partner (SPT employee) confirms this.
Can I ask if there should be mention of SPT's replacment (The West of Scotland Transport Partnership)?

thread_title: Untitled

message: The article, citing a weird, confusing source from the dead website www.banaterra.eu, lists two sets of names, without any information concerning the first.
So, has there been a Hungarian village there? Or even two (Szabadfalu and Zabadfalua)? Google Translate leaves much to the imagination, and the source itself seems chaotic. Was it destroyed or abandoned in time? When, during the wars against the Turks?
Szabadfalva means in Hungarian the same as Freidorf means in German: "free village". If there had been such a Hungarian settlement there in the 14th-15th centuries, it makes sense that the 19th & 20th-century Hungarian authorities, who tried hard to Magyarise as many German, Romanian, Slavic etc. personal and place-names as possible, used the name Szabadfalva for the German village of Freidorf. But who translated whose name? Or was it a double translation - the German settlers adopted "Szabadfalva" in their own language in the 1730s, and the Hungarian authorities tried to reverse that after the demographic changes setting in after the 1836 cholera epidemic, the 1848 Revolution, and 1867 Compromise?
This also draws into question whether the German 1728 Neudorf ("new village") got its name changed to Freidorf as the new settlers learned about the old Hungarian name, or - as claimed in the article - because they were exempt from paying taxes. Quite a (name) coincidence. Also, many settlers were attracted to the Banat after it being conquered back from the Turks, by offering them convenient taxation conditions. This wasn't specific to Freidorf. We should check again, as popular etymologies are not to be quoted as being accurate. Arminden (talk) 22:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
