Talk:1954

message: There is a discussion on my talk page on page layout. 
For most of the last three hundred years there is inconsistency and duplication between the year in topic paragraph, the "see also" box and what is on the year by topic pages. Prior to 1950 I am pretty convinced we can painlessly (except for sore fingers) delete all of the year in topic paragraphs and ensure that the material goes into a "see also" box, creating such a box where none exists. Post 1950, particularly from the "year in US television" link a lot of material has been added to this paragraph as highlights (sometimes making up most of the page content pointed at). 
Personally I think we should still delete the paragraph, keep the box linking to the topic sites and move any particularly important parts of the year in topic paragraph to the main chronological list. This does involve undoing quite a bit of work which someone has done. 
Therefore, unlike for prior to 1950 (where I've said no objection= I do it) for post 1950 I won't touch these pages unless a significant number of people agree with the change. (I am also unlikely to get the pre 1950 stuff done before summer unless the service speed improves dramatically). (talk)--BozMo 14:26, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page layout years

message: Despite the existence of the separate births and deaths sections, two births are listed in the calendar, both on April 29, of Jerry Seinfeld and Jake Burton Carpenter.  I don't think they belong there.
The three deaths: Alan Turing's suicide (June 7); Emilie Dionne's asphyxiation (August 6);  and Getulio Vargas' suicide (August 24) are perhaps more newsworthy (especially that last - a national president shooting himself to death while in office,) but I'm wondering if there is, or should be, a policy about this.

message: That's cute, but I don't see why this page should direct wikiheads to somebody's personal homepage because their last name happens to be Jubilee. Shameless self-promotion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.89.68.162 (talk) 17:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Calm of the Storm

message: I'm not sure I agree with your split of this article into Jubilee (disambiguation) and Jubilee, so I'm bringing it here to discuss. As I can see it, I don't think Jubilee has enough encyclopedic material on its own to not just be a WP:DICDEF with links to other Jubilees, which can also be served by the previous disambiguation. I also couldn't find any prior discussion of this, so I would love to know the reasoning. Thanks, menaechmi (talk) 18:32, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The disambiguation page had been flagged for a split for quite some time (see the last revision before the split). A jubilee is a specific type of anniversary and a separate article is justified—Wikipedia already has articles for Golden Jubilee, Diamond Jubilee, etc. This article provides context; it builds upon the biblical origins of the term, and its modern application in world religions and royal celebrations. A disambiguation page is ineffectual at tying these related concepts together. I find prose is better than a loosely-organised list. --Hazhk (talk) 18:54, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: ...you mean that giant tag that says "The present disambiguation page holds the title of a primary topic, and an article needs to be written about it." I think I may have completely missed that because I thought it was the current tag. Mea culpa. Thank you for clarifying, and I definitely can support it. menaechmi (talk) 19:05, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:The Three Stooges

message: In an interview with Tom Bergeron in 1972 Moe Howard was irritated by the fact that people say the Three Stooges comedic style is slapstick.

Talk:John Climacus

message: I thought he was more commonly known as J of the L.???JHK
: I don't know which name is more widely known; it probably depends on who you talk to or what you read. At the moment, I think John of the Ladder redirects to John Climacus. If you think it makes more sense to have it go the other way, feel free to change it, makes no difference to me. "Climacus" just means "of the ladder" more or less, based on what I've read recently. Using "John of the Ladder" might be more informative to English speakers. Any other opinions out there? If we change it, we should also revise the first sentence appropriately (just flip the two names), and also the relevant entry at List_of_saints.  Wesley
Can I say that I must beg to differ from the view that he was more commonly known as J of the L, as I only knew of him as John (or Johannes) Climacus. Vorbee (talk) 15:26, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

:Whether John Climacus or John of the Ladder is more common or not, one thing's sure:  John Climax is not common at all.

Talk:George Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach

message: I was looking at the entry for the film The Piano Teacher (La Pianiste) based on the Elfriede Jelinek novel. There is a list there of actors appearing in the film, some of whom have links to their own Wikipedia entries. One of those links brought me here. Now what I would like to know is: If Georg Friedrich died in 1603, how come he plays "man in drive-in" in a film from 2001?
Needless to say, I understand that there has been a mistake with the links, perhaps there is no entry for the actor and the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach was the closest thing. I'm not sure how to fix it so I'll leave this comment here and a similar one on the Piano Teacher entry and hopefully it can be sorted out!

message: The Map in the Geography Section with the caption "Adjacent jurisdictions on a map of the greater Alexandria region" is mislabeled.  The area marked "Alexandria" is not Alexandria, but actually part of Fairfax County.  Alexandria is located farther north, north of I-495, not south of it.  Likewise, "Falls Church" and "Arlington" are in the wrong places.  Both locations are much farther north, so far north that both locations aren't on the map. 216.24.45.35 (talk) 04:51, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

message: I've got a two questions, the answers to which I think should be encorporated into this page.  First of all, Burgundy was a rising power in the 15th c., why was it so easily dismantled?  Other regions have lost kings and recovered or at least maintained a seperate identity after being absorbed by a larger kingdom.  Secondly, other than food is there any differences in Burgundian cultuere, and how do the people of the region feel about the differences, I mean is it like Normandy or Brittany, or like Corsica, or is it fully integrated into French culture that there is no difference between this region and others other than the food?
As many part of France, 500 years of centralisation from "Paris" has ensured that local differences are eradicated as much as possible. As such, in French History, Burgundy and its Dukes are mainly seen as traitors and murderers (Joan of Ark). Kids in school within Burgundy are taught French History, not local History.. Through time, this obviously diminishes the pride and sense of belonging. 
The article, according to the official version, does not accurately explain the events of 1477 and how the then king of France invaded the duchy despoiling the inheritance of his god daughter.
As to the question of after 1477... Well Burgundy very much retained its own parliament for the next 300 years. Several revolts occurred against the central power, but all were very bloodily dealt with.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.80.171 (talk) 19:43, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
