Talk:Roland of Cremona

message: I'm sorry I had to remove the long addition just made to Roland of Cremona because it is copied from a text which may still be in copyright (see the permission statement at Dominican Central: "This presentation of the out-of-print work is offered for your information with the permission of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph"). Instead, for the moment, I've put in a link to the relevant page at Dominican Central.
The text didn't in any case display NPOV. But if the contributor wanted to summarise Roland's life on the basis of this same work, and keeping in mind non-Dominican (even Cathar!) points of view, I'm sure it would be welcome. Andrew Dalby 12:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Roland of Bologna? 

message: The article does not explain what has happened to Roland after he left Toulouse soon after the issue with that unfortunate exhumations (by the way, Zoé Oldenbourg, Massacre at Montségur, New York 1961, p. 277, probably after Guillaume Pelhisson's Chronicon, but she does not the exact source, states that Roland used to exhume the bodies of not one but two persons: "A. Peyre, an official benefactor of the Saint-Sernin Chapter, and Galvanus, a Waldensian minister buried in the cemetery at Villeneuve"); Walter L. Wakefield & Austin P. Evans, Heresies of the High Middle Ages, New York 1969, p. 265 briefly mention Roland heading a special mission in 1233 by the Pope Gregory IX to Piacenza, where the heretical majority of burghers rioted against the ecclesiastical authority already since 1204, but they also do not give any particular sources for their remark.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubor Sanguinis (talk • contribs) 14:46, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Copy Edit

message: The section about the first Dark Alliance game has sentences like "The graphics, in particular, are considered the only highlight of the game by many critics" and an over all negative tone on the game. I have never played it, but what I have found was that the game mostly had positive reviews. The Critical reception section in the game's article says: "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance received generally favorable reviews; Metacritic has an average score of 87% based on 29 reviews for the PlayStation 2 version and the Xbox version received an average score of 83% based on 25 reviews."
In several of the Baldur's Gate, Forgotten Realms and D&D related articles the Dark Alliance games are painted out as having been panned by critics and being generally considered to be flops, but as far as I can see most reviewers though they were good games, though only a few gave them great ratings.
I get the impression that someone who personally dislikes the games have written or edited the articles to reflect his personal opinion. This sentence, very similar to the one above appears in the game's own article: "The graphics, in particular, were considered a highlight of the game by many critics". That looks like a more factual and neutral way to write it, it seems someone changed "a highlight" to "the only highlight".

thread_title: Bias in the section on the first game?

message: Baldur's Gate and Dark Alliance. Same Series Or Different? Argueably, Dark Alliance isn't the same series. Argueably, it is. Argueably, it is part of the same series but in a Raving Rabbids Spin-Off Series approach. Which one, like either it being part of the same series or being a spin-off series. So it is part of the same series. So what if they have different and unrelated plots. Baldur's Gate III was never released and likely it would have been stopping Eldrith in her backstory and continuing Adrian Abdens story as well. So why is there a seperate article for Dark Alliance. They are part of the same series and Dark Alliance III was canceled. That could have had references to the Bhaalspawn Saga. Lets merge the Dark Alliance Series Article and The Baldur's Gate Series Article into just a Baldur's Gate series article. I have made some changes to this article so that it includes Dark Alliance III. So let's merge these two articles. --Schmeater (talk) 01:57, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Sveriges runinskrifter

message: There's a ton of Swedish Rune stone articles, most of which use the numbering system from these books (and few of which cite any references). And the Rundata article has been accumulating a fair bit of content which probably belongs here.
It's a little odd to have an article for a series of reference works (and the associated cataloging system), but they're standard in Runology, and it seems better than to explain this information once than to scatter it throughout Wikipedia.

thread_title:  Translated from sv.wikipedia 

message: I'm fairly certain vol X is illustrations for VI-IX. Uppland holds by far the greatest number of remaining runestones and most plates are collected in a single volume where almost all the extant stones are depicted. Curiously, Vol X is missing in almost all lists I've seen - it seems "vol X" never really got an official "volume name" if you get my meaning, but numbering still skipped it. If I recall correctly (which is is in no way certain), the spine of the book reads "Upplands runinskrifter - Planschband" (illustration volume). I'll try again to get there and write it down properly. (oh and the IP just now was me) // OlofE 18:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The reason I'm mentioning this here - sort of trivial as it is - is I'm not 100% sure what the wiki policy is on these kinds of situations. Do we just consider that if it comes from a dev, it's literal enough to be quoted as fact?

*Poland finish fourth (Costa Rica beat Poland)
*Poland finish third (Poland beat Costa Rica)
