Talk:The Executioner's Song

message: Pace the last line of the article's first paragraph, Mailer's 1974 book "The Fight" isn't a novel; it's a nonfiction recounting of the "Rumble in the Jungle," the 1973 heavyweight title bout between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Zaire, Africa.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.249.163.117 (talk) 17:25, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Classification as fiction vs. nonfiction 

message: This is Mailer's 'great American novel' that he hoped to write and didn't recognise he had written. It is prosaic that he ended his writing career dealing with an account of a Jesus and ancient Egyptian politics when his masterpiece was the dark, leafy suburban streets of the midwest. This work grows in significance with each passing year. It is easily one of the best ten novels of the US twentieth century. I hope someone can flesh this entry out.
Could I suggest sections on the interview process, Schiller's ringleader involvement, negotiations with Mailer etc, since these contributions will identify the novel's importance and put to rest the fact/fiction - new journalism debate and focus attention on the genius of this novel, as well as demonstrating how a great novel is always factual in every sense and so factual in terms of human experience.
Good ideas for expanding the article. For the present, I make a simpler suggestion: Currently, the article mentions Schiller in passing, toward the end, and doesn't even make clear what his role was. My understanding is that he (Schiller) did virtually all of the in-depth interviewing, and provided that to Mailer as the source material for the book. So it would be more appropriate simply to mention that role at the very beginning of the article. The 2nd sentence of the article could be something like, "The source material for the novel came from Lawrence Schiller, a producer, screenwriter, and photographer who had conducted hundreds of hours of interviews with Gillmore, et al., and provided the transcripts to Mailer." There are 2 good sources for that assertion: (1) The Foreword, by Dave Eggers, that appears in later editions of the novel; (2) The article, "My Three Stooges," by Tom Wolfe, that appears in his collection, "Hooking Up." 68.229.49.122 (talk) 07:11, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:USS Merrimack (1855)

message: Someone needs to make note of the fact that the Merrimack was historically known as the Merrimac, just as the earlier spelling of the Merrimack River is Merrimac River, which is still used today in some instances.

message: One curious thing,  is that almost any book you pick up about american history or the US civil war,  or books about naval warfare,   refer to the well-known confrontation between "the Monitor and the Merrimac(k)",  being the first confronation between "iron-clad" ships.   The thing which is curious about this,  is that the Merrimac was captured by the confederacy, virtually rebuilt,  and re-named "Virginia",   the name which it had at the time of the historic battle.   Now this seizure and renaming business happened a lot in the old days,   but you don't normally get such an insistence on using the previous owner's name for the ship.  I guess in this case, it is because the northerners wrote all the history books,  but anyway,  it's strange and perhaps something that should be mentioned in a suitably non-POV way.   It is certainly a source of confusion for some people. Eregli bob (talk) 04:14, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Pot liquor

message: Collard liquor and pot liquor are not synonomous terms.  The product and name,pot liquor or "pot likker" is the liquid formed after the greens have been boiled, in water, with the appropriate type of greens,seasonings and smoked or cured pork meat. "Pot likker" is what remains after you eat the greens and meat. You might have a type of "pot likker" after boiling various types of peas or beans with smoked or cured pork meat.  These vegtables of choice would be black eyed peas, field peas with snaps, crowder peas, zipper peas, fresh and or dryed lima beans and others but normally this liquid would not be called "pot likker". Although it still would have a decent taste based on the seasonings and the meat used in the dish.
I've always known "pot liquor" to be a misspelling of the original name with two Ks. I see no reputable sources cited for "pot liquor"
-In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, it's referred to as "pot liquor" at the end of chapter 23. --71.232.8.64 (talk) 23:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed a sentence advising that people on Warfarin (Coumadin) not consume pot liquor.  I believe that this advice is potentially dangerous because "Rather than avoiding vitamin K, you should maintain a consistent intake of vitamin K by maintaining a consistent diet."  (Quoted from ClotCare Online)  So if somebody on Warfarin has pot liquor as part of his regular diet, suddenly avoiding pot liquor could cause his vitamin K levels to become too low.

message: My mother always called the leftover juice from boiling country ham "pot liquor." After storing in icebox or cold garage, the top layer of fat was removed.

message: When someone uses the word "autodidact", it's 99% bull. In any case, that's a terribly important word to assign to someone who is "self-taught", by definition.  Why even mention it at all?  Ms. Hobby clearly attended several universities but failed to graduate from any of them.  I think that speaks more about her dedication to education than any single word can do.  Leading with the phrase "An autodidact..." introduces a non-neutral POV, since it influences the reader .  It should be removed, and the reader can decide for his/herself whether or not Ms. Hobby was "educated".  In real terms, who isn't an "autodidact"?  We all teach ourselves, and it's impossible to quantify.  That's why people attend formal classes and earn degrees; to prove something that is otherwise impossible to prove.

Talk:Höllentalbahn (Black Forest)

message: Other editors have probably realised that the original version of this article was created by putting the German Wikipedia article through Google's translation sevice — as good a reason for not doing that as one could hope for. Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 19:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The small chunks of untranslated German were a giveaway.  The nature of compound forming in Geramn may allow us to break some of those untranslated words into readable chunks:  Doppelstockwagen, for example, probably means "double stack car" or something very similar.  I've heard many many funny stories about Korean college students using one or another of these translation bots.

message: This article defines the Höllentalbahn as connecting Freiburg with Donaueschingen. And it says it is electrified, and is operated by electric locomotives, without any qualification, thus implying throughout. However my copy of the 2009-10 edition of Schweers + Wall's usually authoritative Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland shows the eastern half of the line, from Neustadt (Schwarzwald) to Donaueschingen, as not electrified.
Somebody must be wrong here. Can anybody help resolve this?. -- Starbois (talk) 11:17, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: A further look at the Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland shows that it puts its Höllentalbahn label alongside the line about halfway from Freiburg to Neustadt. And there is no equivalent label between Neustadt and Donaueschingen. So I'm wondering whether the issue isn't so much about whether the Höllentalbahn is electrified or not, and more about whether we have the correct definition of the line's extent. -- Starbois (talk) 16:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I think this should have a summary of his career before F1. After all, he was the British F3 Champion in 1994 with 288 points, nearly 100 more than the runner up.
He was one member of the Paul Stewart F3 Racing Team - his co-driver was Dario Francitti who also went on to CART and IRL. Neither went to F3000 like some of their contemporaries. During 1994 Dario had a lot of bad luck but he was generally out-classed by Jan given that he had the same machinery and support.
Also, some explanation of the circumstances where he left Stewart F1.

Talk:Simplified spelling

message: Simplified Spelling (or simplified spellings) a broadbased philiological reform movment, centered in part at Columbia University under the aegis of a body enshrined as the Columbia Spelling Board (CSB) in the Presidential years of Theodore Roosevelt's terms.  Teddy, gave the movement much publicity in the middle of his second term by writing a letter to the Public Printer of the United States ordering 300 or so frequently used words be published solely in the new spelling recommended by Circular number 6 of the CSB. It is fair to say that TR was at the apex of his power at the time this letter was sent. This differs from todays article on spelling reform which treats this large controversy of it's day with total silence. This document is part of my personal action to give impetus to having better informed philiological experts correct the deficiencies of the history not devolved in the Wikipedia common file spelling reform article as exists today: 31 May 2005.
The President's/CSB efforts were eventually partly successful, but also had generated opposing resolutions in Congress, as well as defiant Supreme Court Justices coming out on the record against the bureaucratic high handedness.  The Press feasted for weeks with 'punny headlines' and vyed to coin new sarcastic simplifications, until the influential Harpers Weekly complained in the headline: "THIS IS TU MUCH".  The president recanted his order telling the Public Printer of the US that none of his changes should be considered permanent, telling him that if the changes do not meet with public approval, that they should be 'dropt'.  This later word, indicative of the resolve by this leonine president to continue using the new spellings himself.

message: This article's opening paragraph seems to contradict itself.  It says a road bicycle is any bicycle that's used on the road, then goes on to say most have "drop handlebars and multiple gears", I think if we take a global view it's very clear that most bikes used on the road do not have drop bars.  Even at a more local level I believe that few places have predominantly bikes with drop bars on the road.   
This confusion likely arises from two desires: one, to use the term road bike to mean any bike used on the road; two, to use the term to refer to the sport oreanted drop bar bikes (on wikipedia inexplicably referred to as a "Racing bicycle".  I would like to change the article name to be more conventional, to resolve this confusion.  The Road bicycle page  should have the "Racing Bicycle" page on it.
