Talk:The Outstretched Shadow

message: The plot section has a spoiler warning that I have removed. People viewing Wikipedia expect that an article on a book will cover the book in detail. To do that the article has to spoil the plot the fact that the section is titled plot implies strongly that there will be spoilers. All works of fiction already have a spoiler warning in the content disclaimer page so including one here is unnecessary.

thread_title:  Advertising. 

message: I believe that something should be mentioned about anti-competitive measures. While Solo was created by Bell and operates within the same stores as Bell, its phones are different and not interchangeable. Reasons for this could be a) Canadian oligopolistic mobile phone sector b) lack of regulation, c) company protectionism as a manner of increasing revenues. 
Essentially, this probably should fall under a "criticisms" section like a large # of companies on Wikipedia have. The line would read something like "Solo Mobile has been critisized for being anti-competitive as its technology is not interchangeable with Bell even though they were created by and currently owned by Bell." Are there any objections?. Canking (talk) 23:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: There appears to be a question of what is the accurate track listing for the 5 CDs in the collection.

If there is another set of the box set out there with different track listings, I am unaware of it.  If anyone else out there knows of a reference for a box set with different track listings, could they please post the source?

message: We should stop revealing magic secrets...many magical tricks are ruined by hecklers coming onto this site. -- Anonymous
I have been performing magic tricks for 15 years, and have encountered a good number of hecklers.  Not once have they ever known what they were talking about.  (For example, I have been called on botched passes, where someone might say "I saw you move the cards around!" but never "You call that a pass!?")  Moreover, even a savvy spectator can be fooled.  Dai Vernon fooled Houdini with an "ambitious card" type trick using only a double lift and a Marlo tilt -- techniques that Houdini may well have known.
On the other hand, by posting about these moves, a young enthusiast who otherwise may not have had the opportunity can be exposed to magic, and perhaps become a contributor to the art. Gluefoot 19:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grammatical Errors 

message: Snipped out the following from the Plot section as its pure speculation and and opinion and has no place there.
--------
"(...) In the terrible explosion which destroyed the island of Back Cup, Ker Karraje and his pirates have disappeared - and with them Thomas Roch and the secret of his invention" is how Verne ends his book. However, knowledge of Twentieth Century history and how it was effected by the discovery of Weapons of Mass Destruction could lead to doubt if that would be quite the end.
Under the conditions described, an accelerated arms race would have been virtually certain to break out between the various late 19th Century powers, each seeking to rediscover Roch's weapon for itself.  Britain would presumably assert its sovereignty over Backcup to thoroughly comb the ruins for possible clues; the French would grill Hart for anything he might have picked up and search for any papers Roch may have left behind; the Americans would locate Karraje's suppliers and thoroughly examine their records; and as for the other powers, knowing that such a weapon is possible would be enough of a clue to try their utmost to duplicate it. One may well speculate that in the universe of Verne's book, the First World War would break out much sooner than 1914 and might be far more destructive.

Talk:St Patrick halfpenny

message: The kneeling figure is commonly called King David.
But there are arguments to support it being Brian Boru.
Not least of which was that Boru was a noted harpist and after his death at the Battle of Clontarf his harp was reportedly brought to Rome and given to the Pope - Henry VIII, also a noted musician, was presented with a Harp by the pope (when they were still on speaking terms) which was reportedly the same harp.  This event was one of the triggers for the introduction of the harp as the symbol of Ireland (replacing the 3 crowns in pale) and its use on the next Irish currency (the 'harp' groats in 1534).  This same harp was subsequenly presented to Trinity College Dublin where it resides in the Long Room of the Library (near where the Book of Kells used to be displayed before somebody decided that we needed an interpretive centre for the Book).  It was one of the models for the harp on current Irish coinage.  But the harp in Trinity College is clearly not Brian Boru's as it is a 14th or 15th century harp and probably Scottish in origin.  It is not clear where the path breaks down - my guess would be in the archives in Rome, but it could have been in London between the Pope's gift arriving and its much later presentation to Trinity. 
It is probable that the iconography of the kneeling harpist which would have been recognisable as either Boru or David in an Irish context would have only been seen as a David figure in the US colonies or the Isle of Man where the coins also circulated.
Clearly this argument is only useful if the coins are of Irish origin.
