Talk:Unhinged (Magic: The Gathering)

message: I apologize if I am doing this incorrectly, but I need to understand a few things.  While there is a promotion for Gleemax going on, and there is an alternate reality project (largely unspurred by the marketing), the main goal of the site is to provide information.  So far we have been directed to do a scavenger hunt, complete a quiz (ironically based off wiki definitions) and decode a message with base64 that pointed us to a Youtube video called operation poppycock (which appears to be a prankster messing around in the Wizards offices) My concern is that *other* clues were left in the wiki that have since been deleted. Just randomly, I took a screenshot of the old wiki, but I don't have all the links provided at the bottom.
 
1) What date was the gleemax wiki up?  If it was after may 24th, 2007, there is a good chance this IS part of our scavenger hunt as well. 
2) Can we (the people following this) get a copy of the original page as it was set up?  
3) Why was Gleemax deleted when you have wiki's on Ilovebees, for example, which is exactly the same sort of promotion, and the same sorts of references? 
Sincerely, Xavier Rodriguez (somnovore@gmail.com)
:Hello Xavier,
:The page was created on May 18th. I doubt any clues have been deleted. If they were, then I regret the disruption to your scavenger hunt, but those who left clues here had no reason to expect they would remain intact - as we say, if they didn't want their writing to be edited mercilessly by others, they came to the wrong place. 
:You can, as it happens, access the last version [ here] for now: the page was not totally deleted, although some were of the opinion it should have been. You may be interested in this discussion.
:I Love Bees was brought up once or twice, and others have given various answers in previous discussion. A couple of Magic-related articles were also brought up with the "you have this, so why would you delete Gleemax" argument, and, as it turns out, those articles have since been deleted as well. Wikipedia is not always instantaneously consistent. And so perhaps some of the content of the I Love Bees article is unsuitable as well; I hadn't looked too closely at it. However, it sort of looks like I Love Bees had been covered in Wired among other places, people had received awards because of it, and there were generally things to be said about it. There wasn't a whole lot to be said about Gleemax - it was an inside joke, now it has a card. It seems to be adequately covered in a few sentences here. 
:I hope this answers your questions. Regards, --Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 14:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

message: See also comments at Talk:tiling puzzle and Talk:string puzzle.
Deleted in the wake of Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Karlscherer3, but was not explicitly listed there, and thus not properly VfD'd.
Google shows that "lock puzzle" is indeed a generic term in relatively widespread use.  Further, this article had extensive contributions by persons other than Karl Scherer, and the pre-deletion version had no spam links at all.  Deleting it was very much an overreaction.

message: Upon reconsideration, I believe purpose of the revamp of this article should be to recreate it into the "Players Tour" wikipedia page instead of the "Pro Tour" wikipedia page. I don't believe it would make sense to separate the two, as other pages like "NFL playoffs" keep their legacy formats on the article. Since MTG essentially just changed the name, I believe it would be best to go ahead and just have a re-branding of this page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JalepenoPoppr (talk • contribs) 21:36, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Kroni

message: Got it, sorry about the "avatar" mistake. I'm trying to copyedit some of the Ayyavazhi articles as I have the time, and try to be careful not to introduce any changes or distortions in substance. Sorry about that one. Babajobu 08:06, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The Kroni demon of the Ayyavazhi religion is actually based off of the Kali (Demon) from the Kalki Purana. According to the Padma Purana, the avatars 3 & 4 (in the main article) were actually the reincarnations of Lord Vishnu's gate keepers Jaya and Vijaya. For blocking the path of Lord Brahma's spiritual sons, the gate keepers were damned to 12 "mortal" rebirths. But because of Lord Vishnu's great love of all things, he was able to get the sentence knocked down to three "evil" or "demonic" rebirths. First, the guards were reborn as the brothers Hiranyaksha (who was killed by Vishnu's 3rd avatar Varaha, the Boar) and Hiranyakashipu (who was killed by Vishnu's 4th avatar Narasimha, the Man-Lion. Second, they were reborn as the Demon-King Ravana and his giant brother Kumbhakarna. Both were killed by Lord Rama during the Ramayana. In their third and final rebirth, the guards were reincarnated as Shishupal and Dantavakra, the cousins of Vishnu's 8th avatar, Lord Krishna. Both were killed by Krishna during the Mahabharata. When both were killed, their souls were seen to merge with Krishna, thus becoming apart of Lord Vishnu. (!Mi luchador nombre es amoladora de la carne y traigo el dolor! 04:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Further, I removed the section which needed a citation for 3 years.  The reality is that the book was published and republished by him for decades, and I think the JBS released another edition since.  Seeing how he ran the place, I doubt he would have done that if he wanted distance.  Seeing as how the current JBS worships the guy, I doubt they would do that against his wishes after his death, either.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.32.185.114 (talk) 05:24, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

* "The Steel Butterfly" for Imelda Marcos. Just a nickname
* "A young preacher from Georgia" for Martin Luther King To be antonomasic it should be "The young preacher from Georgia"
* "The Man of Steel" or the "Man of Tomorrow" for Superman Just nicknames
* "The Dark Knight" or "The Caped Crusader" for Batman (also referred as "The Dynamic Duo"   when paired with fictional sidekick , Robin) Just nicknames

message: Before i add this, has anyone outside the UK come across this type of secret language:?
We called  it Agi-pagi  (ay - ghi pay - ghi ).
it works by adding -ag- before every vowel, with some exceptions (such as a single "a" which becomes "agi":
"This is a test sentence in blue " translates into
"Thagis agis agi tagest sagentagence agin blague"

replies: text: I would agree, a variation of itheg (something my friends and I learned from Sweet Valley Junior High books, but much more widespread than that - it's on wiki!) or Pig Latin. As such, it is not really Argot or some sort of secret language but more of just a code. These words do not intrinsically have their own meaning but rely on the removal of the code to find the original meaning. If they had developed their own vocabulary based on profile behaviours, that would be different. Besides, that one would be easy for some to crack.

thread_title:  Another slang 

message: He describes it in his novel, Les Misérables, as the language of the dark; at one point, he says, "What is argot; properly speaking? Argot is the language of misery."
In the original French "L'argot est la langue de la misère.", the word misère should not be translated as "misery" rather as "extreme poverty". I have seen it translated as "wretchedness" but both in this sense and in the context of the novel Les Misérables (lit. The Poor), it means poverty or destitution.

Talk:Scleral buckle

message: I work in an ophthalmology office, though as a secretary, not a doctor. Anyway, the term scleral buckle leads to some confusion. It's like a belt wrapped around they eye, but there is no "buckle" like a belt buckle. The term buckle comes from the fact that it warps or buckles the eye. Sometimes there are concerns when people go in for MRI's because the patient thinks they have a small piece of metal (a small belt buckle) on their eye. If they have metal on or in the eye, it isn't from the scleral buckle, which is usually made of silicone. As with any medical questions, it's best to consult a doctor to get a proper answer --Barista | a/k/a マイケル | T/C 09:05, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The first comment is not 100% true. There are many times when a piece of metal is indeed used for scleral buckle surgery. The band that circles the eye is usually silicone but the ends are then connected together. There is something called a Tantalum Clip that was/is used to connect the ends together. A silicone sleeve is more commonly used today  but I have met several surgeons that still use Tantalum clips to connect the ends of the buckle together. Sometimes the ends can be connected with a suture as well.......this is called a clove-hitch suture. 96.3.29.82 (talk) 18:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
