Talk:Myrkviðr

message: I want this article to cover the general concept of the "Mirkwood" of the Germanic and Slavic regions, as it was oriented before I started editing it, because the borders between the mythological, legendary and geographic references to the forest are very vague. Right now the article does not state clearly whether it covers only the word Myrkviðr and its direct derivatives, or the expanded use of the name, which covers other forms and languages. Myrkviðr clearly represents something deeper than just the Norse variations. Any scholary research pertinent to the forest(s) is desirable, and perhaps also references to the early (Cæsar, Tacitus, Pliny et al.) accounts of the dark and vast Germanic forests. 
However, where does the line go between discussing an expanded concept of Myrkviðr, and discussing just... dark woods? Woods are dark, and I know of loads of woods and farms named something along the line of "darkwood", "blackforest" and so on in Norway. Is it really a big deal if some dense and dark forest is in fact called "Dark Forest", and is it possible to link this name with other appearances throughout Scandinavia and Europe? I need some second hand opinions to structure my own mind and the article scope. –Holt  T•C 16:44, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article scope 

message: Frysian language is using the word Murk for 2 plants growing in swamp and moore: Peat fluff and Cotton grass. Two plants that at first sight look the same. 
Since Old English and Old Frysian language are very much related, 'ofer myrcan mor,' in the Beowulf line 1405 could mean the 'peat fluffy moore' 
Just to show how difficult it is to know for certain any statement regarding the meaning of Myrkviðr. This could actually mean 'swamp forest with Peat fluff and/or Cotton grass'.
you can check the word murk in www.wurdboek.nl It translates Dutch to Frysian and the other way arround.

message: I removed two mentions of a grunion/grunyon which had been inserted by two different IP-addressed editors. The only definition I could find of a grunion was a small fish, which didn't seem to relate to the subject of the article. 86.10.97.74 17:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Suppose you have two disks of sheet plastic.  You want a rivet or grommet through the middle of each, to join them, but permitting each one to rotate relative to the other.

Talk:Knox County Courthouse (Tennessee)

message: I can't say that Gov. Taylor did not lead a delegation to have John Sevier's body reinterred in the lawn of the Courthouse.  He was Governor in 1889 when it happened.  I can say, though, that the Mary Rothrock French-Broad-Holston Country reference does not mention him in relation to the event (in fact, he never appears in the book for any reason).  The statement needs another reference. Archarin (talk) 18:14, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Robert Love Taylor reference

message: "The county hired Stephenson and Getaz, a local contracting firm that specialized in hardwood mantels, to build the courthouse."  This is any extremely odd way to represent Stephenson and Getaz, who were always described, as I can find, as architects and builders.  David Getaz was an architect.  The mantel company was a separate concern.  Dr. Jim Tumblin had a nice article in the Bearden Shopper about them, but for which I can't find an online copy.  I've reworded the article somewhat, without this as a reference, but since the statement already had no references, it may not be any better documented, but it is more accurate. Archarin (talk) 17:27, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a reference for Getaz as an architect (the document, Historical and Architectural Resources of Knoxville and Knox County, Tennessee, used to be somewhere online, but I couldn't find it; fortunately, I have an offline copy).  Interestingly, it says Getaz "was most noted for winning the 1885 design competition for the Knox County Courthouse."  Bms4880 (talk) 20:52, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm glad to see that this bldg is still standing.  As a child, I was told that one of the buildings "on the hill" served as a hospital during the civil war.  Obviously not this one, built in 1885, but the informatuon came from a woman who had served as an elected county official, so I have to wonder if she spoke of an older bldg, now gone.  I seem to remember a large wooden bldg, and a lot of white, peeling paint.  Probably about 60 years ago.  rags (talk) 15:26, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
