Talk:Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī

message: This is as I recall from childhood. I found a website (http://66.84.16.15/huapala/Hawaii_Ponoi.html) that shows the 3rd and 4th lines as chorus and gives 2 additional verses. The sources cited are Cunha's songbook (c) 1898 by Hugo Schlam, Hawaiian Music and Musicians by George Kanahele, University Press of Hawaii, Kalakaua, Hawaii's Last King, Princess Kaiulani, Last Hope of Hawaii's Monarchy by Kristin Zambucka, Mana Publishing Co. Unfortunately, I can't find any other reference to the two additional verses to confirm. CyberMaus 16:56, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: Could anyone familiar with either or both of these two tunes: God Save the Queen and the Prussian hymn Heil Dir Im Siegerkranz take a moment to visit Hawai'i pono'i, go to the reference link at the bottom, listen to the Hawai'i anthem and see if my statement "The melody is reminiscent of God Save the Queen, but based upon the Prussian hymn,Heil Dir Im Siegerkranz" is correct or not?
:God Save the Queen and Heil Dir im Siegerkranz have the same melody, so Hawai'i pono'i is equally reminiscent of both. --Wik 00:33, Sep 20, 2003 (UTC)
::Fantastic. I always thought Hawai'i Pono'i was God save the Queen. but not being a Brit, I was not real confident in that opinion. Then I read Hawai'i Pono'i comes from Heil Dir im Siegerkranz. It is much more likely that English influence would be felt in Hawaii when the song was written. - Marshman 04:37, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the melody for God Save the Queen was used in several places as national anthems with different words added on.  We Brits are nothing if not consistent.  Graham  :) 05:32, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: God Save the Queen and Heil Dir im Siegerkranz (and for that matter America  (My Country ’Tis of Thee)) are identical melodies, but Hawai'i pono'i is certainly different. The question is what is meant by reminiscent. The meter is similar, the melody at times appearing almost intentionally inverted. Looking at the website, I think the implication is that the statement that it was based on the Prussian hymn is historical (that is, the guy said "I based this in Heil Dir im Sigerkranz") rather than implied by the tune's similarity. (Though my interpretation, or the site, could easily be wrong!) -- Someone else 05:38, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that is the input I need. I'm familiar with both My Country 'tis of Thee and Hawai'i pono'i. Similar, but certainly not identical.  And while Bitish influence would have been strong, the tune came from a person more likely to know Heil Dir im Siegerkranz.  I think I can rewrite now. - Marshman

Talk:Westwood, California

message: Westwood cemetary link on this page has NOTHING to do with the Westwood, CA in Lassen County.
RE: "Citation Needed" about early cable television system: I lived in Westwood from 1969-1971 and remember the CATV system, the variety store and its owner a few doors down from Young's Market. I cannot confirm the store owner was involved in it but the CATV system did indeed exist; my household was a subscriber. The antennas were visible just off the A21 highway between Westwood and Clear Creek on the east side. At one time the system went down and a hand-written sign was posted in front of a TV camera to let customers know the problem was being repaired. P.S. The comment about the Westwood cemetery link likely refers to the city in west Los Angeles County. I have the distinction of having lived in both Westwoods.80.39.171.76 (talk) 00:33, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Dispensationalism

message: Lutherans, Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and many Anglicans neither subscribe to Dispensationalism nor Covenant theology, but to Law and Gospel.

replies: text: The only reason that covenant theology is mentioned in contrast is that dispensationalism emerged from previously covenantal/confessional groups (such as Baptists and Presbyterians).

thread_title:  Opposing views 

message: (1) The Peak and decline section contradicts the rest of the article, which in the lead begins by identifying the "establishment of Bible Institutes" (not "acceptance by seminaries") as a major factor of the spread of Dispensationalism. The fact that Dispensationalism was not being taught in seminaries is the raison d'être of Dallas Theological Seminary; it was necessary to found a seminary from the Fundamentalist grass-roots up. Dispensationalism only spread to other seminaries when graduates from DTS were hired. To say that Dispensationalism as a whole is "in decline" because professors in seminaries prefer covenant theology--what is this? Wishful thinking by the enemies of Dispensationalism? Totally lacks NPOV! If author Daniel G. Hummel fails to understand the grass-roots nature of Dispensationalism to begin with, he is not a reliable source about anything other than the groves of academe. (2) The history of Dispensationalism is still playing out; it's too early to say that it has "peaked" or "is in decline". (3) A proper title for this section would be Recent decline in academic circles; that, and no more. Wikipedia should not be a playground for seminary professors who are worried about Dispensationalism. The "decline" may be due to graduates of DTS only being given seminary jobs only on the condition that they agree to renounce Dispensationalism. Weasels, weasels everywhere! We are not told the reasons why these seminary professors changed views. (The "pop" of Pop prophecy is also a weasel word, but at least it alliterates well.)

* What are these gems? I thought gems (ore gemstone) are precious stones, but the names like Abul Fazl, Mian Tansen, Raja Todar Mal, Raja Man Singh, Mullah Do Piaza look to me as being persons.
* Is the Akbar's court the same as Jellaladin Mahommed Akbar?
* Is there a special story about these gems?
* Further, I think the title is not very perfect, but perhaps it is better that the information should be moved to the Jellaladin Mahommed Akbar page.
