Talk:Global Frequency

message: When I saw the Global Frequency symbol, I see it as a stylized earth with the 4 cardinal points. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Peewack (talk • contribs) 16:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Global Frequency symbol 

message: The article says: 'In a departure from the usual serial nature of modern comic books, Ellis designed the comic like a television series with standalone "episodes", allowing the reader to come in at any point in the series and be able to understand what was going on.' This seems offbase to me in both directions: First, plenty of comics have standalone episodes, allowing the reader to start anywhere.  (I haven't read any of these recently, but Archie, Top Ten, most team-up/"two-in-one" kinds of titles, and most Golden Age comics tended to have standalone issues, and that's just off the top of my head.) Second, plenty of TV shows have huge amounts of continuity/backstory (soap operas, Alias, Lost, BSG, B5, etc) that leave new viewers confused. And on a side note, I can't think of any TV shows (other than anthology shows like Twilight Zone) that have all-new characters every episode; I'm sure there are some, but it's not the norm in TV. So my point is that I don't think it makes any sense to say that this comic is (a) a departure from the usual way modern comics work, nor (b) "like a television series." It would be more accurate to say it's a departure from the ongoing-story approach that some modern comics take, and that it's more like some TV shows; but it would be just as accurate to say that it's a departure from the continuity-oriented approach of some TV shows, and is more like single-issue comics. --Elysdir (talk) 18:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Andrew Jackson Davis

message: Without citing a reliable source the statement "Davis in turn directly influenced self-proclaimed psychic Edgar Cayce (1877–1945) who adopted "trance diagnosis" and similar activities with few modifications from Davis's example." is simply conjecture.
According to the only cited source, http://www.caycelibrary.com/, Cayce "was taken aback to discover the work of Andrew Jackson Davis." This does not imply either way if Cayce was directly influenced or even "adopted" Davis' "trance diagnosis".
In addition, because The Cayce Library houses a collection named after Andrew Jackson Davis, and contains "... his book collection, correspondence, and various personal items", this does not "in fact" imply that Cayce "adopted" Davis' trance diagnosis, either.
The statement "Davis in turn directly influenced self-proclaimed psychic Edgar Cayce (1877–1945) who adopted "trance diagnosis" and similar activities with few modifications from Davis's example." should either be duly cited or removed.

thread_title: Turkey

message: It looks like people have been updating the table of navies by capability level according to their own views about the navies' capabilities, without sources for how to rank them. If I understand wikipedia conventions correctly, this is original research that does not belong on wikipedia. I've changed the table to match the book given as a source. It's an old source, and it might be reasonable to try to update it (I'd guess that it probably is more reasonable to call China's navy rank 3 rather than rank 4 now), but we need a source rather than editors' opinions.

Talk:Golden hat

message: The article in external links Mathias Schultz, "Der Kult der Sternenmagier" looks really interesting, and my German is just not good enough to read it. I'd love to read some of it translated, or even a summary. A very brief summary that's floating around the internet says:
: Several tall gold hats have been discovered in Ireland and in different parts of central Europe, one with a chin strap. The oldest is 3300 years old and its inscriptions outline the Metonic cycle of the sun and moon. A gold cape at least 3600 years old has been found in Wales. The conical shapes suggest magian influence from Caucasian cultures. All finds are dated between 1300 and 800 B.C.
I don't know how reliable this info is, but I'd love to find out! Also an image or two that we can use on Wikipedia would be nice... I know, I want, I want... ;) But any help would be much appreciated. Fuzzypeg 07:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I am a HUGE fan of Hackett's but it seems pretty clear that Salnikov (1980 and 1988 Olympic Champion) would have dominated in the '84 Olympic Games as well; he was that strong.

We all know that Hacky will truly be making history if he does win Gold again, especially because Erik Vendt is posting some really strong times in the 1500m and the Olympic winner is going to have to give all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.191.227 (talk) 00:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nandi or Nandin? 

message: The source for this statement is not only dubious, it is arcane and not readily available, a book (vanity) published in 2009 that sells for over $200 only on Amazon, that cites no sources of its own other than recursive Hindu scripture. I have been unable to find any other references to support the statement. I suspect that the origin of this statement is closely linked to the semi-literal translation of the name "Śilāda" (शिलाद) being "[he who is a/the] stone-eater", as Śilāda is claimed in nearly every source to be the father of Nandi. Diamonds seem a natural extension of the properties of stones, erroneously being applied in deference to the more-celebrated offspring who is the vahana of Ganesha. Ore no unko desu ka?

thread_title: Snake worship in North Africa

message: Wondering how the most important element of Snake Worship does not appear in this article. South Indian state of Kerala is the hub of Snake worship in its entirety. Kerala has the most primitive snake worship system. It is true that throughout India remnants of snake worship exist, but when it is compared to Kerala State with other parts of India, it is exponentially large and Kerala nullifies importance of other places. The major community of Kerala i.e. NAIR is traditionally Naga worshippers. The community name NAIR is evolved out of the word Naakar which means Naga Worshipper. In all other parts of the world Serpent Cult has disintegrated but in Kerala it is still continuing in its primitive form.
