Talk:The Gambler (novel)

message: Harold the Sheep (talk) is against implementing conversion rates (introduction, paragraph 2) of the currencies in the novel. I added them as (i) the novel uses many archaic currencies and assumes fluency by the reader (ii) the importance of knowing these values to ascertain the gravity of the situation means it should be put at the very start. Furthermore, since conversion rates are not listed anywhere else in the novel, there is nowhere else to put it.
Can the community give us some input? Harold, can you expound on your reasoning here?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.78.106.35 (talk) 05:26, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

message: There was also a BBC TV-movie in the 1970s with Dame Edith Evans playing Grandmother.  Judging from the plot summary here, it followed the story fairly closely.

replies: text: Tapes from the Burstiner Rebbe - 
references to the Burshtiner Rebbe - 
As a person that knows and follows the Burshtiner Rebbe for close to 30 years, 
I would like to make the following point.
I resent the reference to Burshtiner Rebbe as a story teller.
It happens to be that the Burshtiner Rebbe is multi talented and one of his many talents happens to be that he is an outstanding "story teller", however, because he is so outstanding in so much more important matters I feel that describing him as a "story teller" brings him down to a level where he does not belong. In other words, the Burshtiner Rebbe is much much more than a story teller. I tried to describe him properly in the main page but I was ripped apart by many users with the argument that I can not prove my opinion and therefore it is not acceptable to the Wikipedia standards.Sunny123 14:19, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Nobody doubts any of this. But it is not in accordance with Wikipedia policy to call a person an "inspiring Chassidic leader." That is blatantly a Point of View. There is nothing wrong with a point of view per se. But it does not belong on Wikipedia according to the rules.--Meshulam 04:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite the fact that the Rebbe is an unbeleivable story-teller, I felt it was important to delete it from the description. It just gives a wrong impression to a person that does not know him. As I stated above, he is much much more than a story-teller. Sunny123 13:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

First of all, each of the authors named was famous for work done well prior to WWII. Second of all, the book was published in 1955, so it was hardly "rushed" into print after the war. And what is a "fictionalized work," as opposed to, say, a mere novel?--Jperrylsu (talk) 21:23, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Hilding Hagberg

message: According to the Swedish article (which I did not write) Hilding was a very much a Stalinist and I think that is a word we can use here too. Bronks.
:In regards to Hagberg, he was called a 'stalinist' since he belonged to the pro-Soviet minority. Stalinist in that sense is strictly a pejorative, to identify someone who was authoritarian and close-minded. He was not a Stalinist in the sense that he upheld Stalin's political legacy (like KP(mlr) etc.). --Soman 14:37, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, history isn't that simple. Pre-1953 SKP upheld relations with CPSU under the leadership of Stalin. If any member of pre-1953 is a Stalinist, then that would also apply for C.H. Hermansson. The question at stake, which provides a more correct judgement is how people reacted towards the 1956 CPSU party congress. Those who, in opposition to the mainstream communist movement, defended Stalin against Khrusthev's accusations and actively upheld Stalin's political legacy might be considered as Stalinists. Is this the case with Hagberg? Did he not abide by official CPSU line? --Soman 14:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, we differ on this issue. I think your outlook is to Trot-centric, trying to conceptualize Stalinism mainly in relation to Trotskyism. I, on my part, see the term 'Stalinism' as more problematic, as it is actually more of a general pejorative and dubious to the changing situation of before and after 1956. The wordings used in the Swedish wiki article stated that Hagberg remained devoted Stalinist and that this contributed to the 1962 election result. In that case, 'Stalinist' is simply used to substitute 'pro-Soviet', a wording I find objectable. --Soman 15:13, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I was neither intending to get personal nor did I call you a 'trot'. I said your argumention is at many times trot-centric, that it gives unproportional attention to the Stalin-Trotsky divide. My question to you remains, did Hagberg abide by the CPSU line after 1956 or not? --Soman 15:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Stonehouse, Gloucestershire

message: There has been an attempted merger/redirect of Stonehouse Brick and Tile Co Ltd a couple of times, which has each time been reverted by the creator of that page, newcomer Darrellw100. It appears to me that there are a couple of reliable sources for that historic company, but only a couple, which means that any article written about it is going to have to be carefully written to avoid copyvio problems.

thread_title:  Merger of Stonehouse Brick and Tile Co Ltd 

message: I've added geolinks to the locations of the Stonehouse Brick and Tile Co Ltd and the police station made from its bricks. The police station is plainly old enough to be the right one (you can see it in Google Street View), but the current post office () looks too new and the bricks look too dark (SB and T bricks tended to be lighter–colored according to some sources). Does anyone know the history of the current PO? — TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 18:01, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: And now I'm not sure about the police station. In Google Street View you can see a plaque on the right gable that says "AD [something]" and it looks to me like 1890.
