Talk:Andrei Bely

message: Clarification is needed. The article implies a couple of times that he was also a musical composer, but it is not clear if he was or not. StuTheSheep 20:33, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
::Bely was not a composer, he worked musically in his prose (and of course poetry) and called several early works symphonies. This should be cleared up. He also cannot be called the founder of Symbolism, since "Russian" should be specified and in Russia it was announced already when Bely was four years old. His relationship with Rudolf Steiner deserves mention; he wrote a memoir of it, and spent much of 1912-16 following Steiner's lectures in Europe, and even worked on the first Goetheanum building designed by Steiner in Switzerland. His wife Aasya Turgenieff (niece of the novelist) remained at the Goetheanum, ending their marriage. The reference to neo-Kantianism needs to be limited to Russia, and may not be that important. And the characterization at the beginning of his novel Petersburg as "miasmic" etc. is highly personal and unattributed, and should be removed. I will undertake these changes if they are not controversial, and no one else does.--jb 03:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I was surprised to find no mention of humour in the discussion of Petersburg: This is a comic masterpiece! Also Nabokov's point about the greatness of this novel needs more emphasis, but I'm reluctant to edit, as a non-specialist in Russian literature. I think that there are gaps in the discussion.

replies: text: In that case, the disambiguation belongs at Debs, not Eugene Debs. I've put something there -- Google turns up a number of hits of "Debs" being used as a shorthand for the debutantes themselves. RadicalSubversiv E 16:53, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

message: An anonymous IP editor is persistently identifying St Martin with Saint-Martin-de-Ré which does not seem to be supported by the text of the book or the map included in the book. Is there any actual evidence for this assertion? If not I believe that it should be removed. Dabbler (talk) 15:17, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I was glad to find this and would welcome any updates. I went looking for "St. Martin's," and Saint-Martin-de-Ré is the closest candidate I could find. Since the novel mentions Channel Islanders among Aubrey's crew, the Ile de Ré seems a likely bet, so I'd guess the anonymous editor just made a leap. It's true that Aubrey's map in the book doesn't exactly resemble Vauban's historic fortifications, though, and I can't find any mention of the harbor's role in Napoleonic Wars (not that I'm a web scholar). Perhaps O'Brien was deliberately fuzzing the issue?

text: The note above, signed by an IP address, links the Channel Islanders in the crew to the English Channel as the real world location of the port. They are mentioned because they spoke a dialect of French in that era, and Aubrey expects that some conversation might occur before or during the cutting out. In the end, Dr Maturin speaks in French to a fisherman they encounter. Thus the reference to Jersey men has no bearing on where the port might be along the coast of France.  --Prairieplant (talk) 07:57, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

One of the points was putting character links to articles on real historical characters or fictional characters on whom an article had been written in the character list. We all appreciate your interest in these novels, and hope you will come along with edits that will improve the articles, rather than adding further changes reflecting the notions of just one editor.

message: I was wondering if anyone can place this line exactly from Homer? Is it from the Iliad? Ivankinsman (talk) 17:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The phrase shows up in the Odyssey, found in an on-line copy cited in the article in the Title section. It may also show up in The Iliad, but finding it in the Odyssey was enough. A New York Times article from 1983 on this phrase is cited as well, to back up the phrase being oft-used.  and , it is not why Homer used the phrase that is cited in the Title section now, more why did O'Brian use it as the title of the book. In one part of the online text of the Odyssey, lightning strikes the waters of the Mediterranean making the wine-dark sea. That seems a reasonable approximation to the undersea volcanic eruption, rainstorms and thunderstorms and the many colors they made in the Pacific Ocean during the chase of the privateer Franklin. The Title section was added a few years back, I think without realizing this discussion was on the Talk page. Hard to remember back that far.  --Prairieplant (talk) 00:18, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

The book does not explicity explain how this is achieved, although the reader may assume it is one of the results of the blackmail of elements of the Spanish government as a consequence of catching the Catalan spy red-handed.  Nevertheless, since his impoverishment is noted in the beginning of the summary, the recovery of his fortune should also be noted, probably in the paragraph describing his visit to Woolcombe where he takes Sophie's reconciliatory letter for Jack.

:I thought about that, but it seems like the Gaikokujin article is overloaded; though it states that the term "gaijin" is not a contraction of "gaikokujin", it uses the terms almost interchangeably, and I think that the phrase "gaijin" actually occurs in the article text more frequently than the article's title itself.  I think to avoid confusion, the gaijin information should be moved here. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 21:25, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
(1) The assertion that gaikokujin and gaijin are unrelated (at least today) sounds like nonsense.  IN any case, it's arguable that the topics are sufficiently related that the articles should be merged.  (2) Gaijin is not written Gai-Jin.  This way of writing does not follow Wikipedia guidelines or correct romanization.  Exploding Boy 17:49, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
:The contents of the page gaikokujin seem to be more about gaijin than gaikokujin. The gaikokujin page is fairly badly written. I'd suggest moving gaikokujin to gaijin. I agree with Exploding Boy about the name "gaijin" rather than Gai Jin. --DannyWilde 00:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
