Talk:Edward II (play)

message: "Although the play's opening speech is heavily homoerotic in its language, the nature of Gaveston's relationship with the king is never explicitly spelled out"
Is this a general view? It is explicit, by reference after reference to Greek mythology (and more). What I think should be elaborated on is the conclusion of that sentence "...which is not surprising given the strict censorship of plays at the time." Did this strict censorship allow for that much suggestiveness? Njál 22:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well... obviously it did, since the play was performed and published. The Singing Badger 22:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes — so why is the censorship called 'strict'? Njál 16:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Presumably because hi didn't permit explicit references to homosexuality. But to be honest, I'm pretty sure there are plays that do that, so it's better to simply cut the phrase until someone comes up with a source. The Singing Badger 16:10, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What counts as an 'explicit reference' (I'd call Edward II explicit because (I think) it's intended to be obvious) — can you tell me the names of the plays that are more so? Was censorship done according to some sort of code, or was it up to the censors? What were they trying to avoid being published/performed (on the moral/decency side, not the political one)? Njál 18:04, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

text: The article is perfectly correct, Edward's sexuality is never explicitly spelled out. Of the course the language is heavily suggestive of his homosexuality, but that is not to say it is explicit - in order to be explicit his homosexuality would have to be irrefutable, which it isn't. The Elizabethans were still profoundly religious, with their notions of sexual morality largely adhering to Biblical scripture and Aquinas' philosophy. As homosexuality can never result in conception it has no 'final cause' (to use Aquinas' phrase), therefore going against God's will. Homosexuality was punishable by death, although this rarely occured. This is why Marlowe approaches the matter with a degree of delicacy; Edward is potrayed as homosexual, yet to state this overtly may well offend the public sense of decency and upset the censorship authorities.

Talk:The Tiger Lillies

message: Not sure if it merits mention in this article, but Dan Helciug of the reasonably prominent Romanian band Spitalul de Urgenţă recently (2005) translated and covered the Tiger Lillies' song "Whore". I've mentioned it in the Spitalul de Urgenţă article. I leave it to someone who's been actively working on this one to decide it's notability in this context. - Jmabel | Talk 00:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Translation of one of their songs

message: On the UK's Bravo channel, maybe 10 years ago, the Tiger Lillies were used in an ad break filler, a little 2 minute film of them. In it, Martyn Jacques explained to the camera that the band were named after Tiger Lilly, a prostitute who wore a tiger skin. So the story might not be true, but it's directly from the horse's mouth. More than a simple rumour.

thread_title: Cover art by Byrne?

message: Cap #169-#170, in which Moonstone first appeared, was plotted by Steve Englehart and drawn by Sal Buscema (with the relevant script by Mike Friedrich). Nevertheless Lee/Kirby are credited as co-creators. There are characters who where not created by their first writers/artists, and Lee was publisher with Marvel at the time, and was known to make creative contributions here and there, but Kirby would be still working for DC for some months when this was written. Is there any reference for them creating Moonstone? Patchwor (talk) 07:33, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Creators

message: The uncredited cover pretty clearly looks like the work of Gil Kane who did a lot of Captain America covers at that time, though John Romita Sr. probably had a hand in the finishes.

Talk:History of St Neots

message: Two points:
Anyone born in St Neots will have heard the story that it was actually only a finger bone of St Neot that was owned by the priory. This, we are told, was stolen from the complete skeleton of St Neot kept in the Cornish town of the same name. I have no idea if this is true or not.
At the other end of time, St Neots cattle market was certainly open until at least 1982. I used to go there with my grandad.
:Thanks for those comments, both are useful. Maybe you'd like to go ahead and edit the article (be brave!). You could certainly change the cattle market text from '1960's' to 'late 1980s', and you could mention the finger bone too if you say something like, 'Many local people believe that...'. Go for it! Oh, and when you add material to an article discussion it's useful to put four tildes '~' at the end. When you save the page these are automatically replaced by your username and the date.

message: Excuse me for asking because I am old and grey now but wasn't there a notable cricket bat factory around in the 1960's ? And - given that it is topical - what about the big flood and the defences built afterwards ? Apart from going down the market to annoy the farmers the big event was the visiting fairground. And ... er ... just as a postscript now because there is a tenuous family link through some distant in-laws : there is the grave of a once famous man in the parish churchyard. His real name has apparently been disputed upon the theory that he wanted to sound more posh or exotic when he arrived in St Neots and he thus tried to put his Warwickshire name ' Tanser ' behind him. He was sort of the top pop musician of his day and I think that I remember that the tomb has something written on it like ' Musico Theoreticus ' - you could go and ask the vicar about it maybe ?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tans'ur DaiSaw (talk) 00:20, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:We3

message: I'd like to suggest a change to the We3 Wikipedia entry. The original states "1 and 2 immediately attack and kill the father, an act for which 1 later exhibits great remorse." While 1 indeed is saddened following the event, calling himself a "bad dog," I believe that this was because he had let harm befall one of his teammates. Up to this point, all three animals have killed several humans with no remorse. The positioning of 1 against the badly wounded 3 in this scene also seem to suggest that this is why he is saddened.
While the matter is certainly open to interpretation, I do not believe the article should present the opinion as fact.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.184.104 (talk) 00:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Has there been any mention anywhere of a connection between Morrison's series and Osamu Tezuka's W3?

message: Disputed
Obviously "Illict Drug Dealership" under "businesses" has no place on a wikipedia article and is tantamount to slander, but there have been multiple issues with this page since it was started - whenever one person attempts to insert research backed up by sources, another disputes it and re-edits.  I am removing the comment about Chigwell being comparable to other public housing areas in Hobart (for starters, it isn't a public housing area as compared to the others listed), and it being on par with these areas does not show sources.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.168.112.15 (talk) 01:02, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Wiki ian: The latest revision of Tasmanian Towns street atlas clearly shows that the Brooker Highway is the boundary between Berridale and Chigwell.  This boundary was changed in the late nineties.  The area is considered lower socio-economic in parts, but with the Tasmanian housing boom, there are many mainland investers and upwardly mobile commuters buying houses in the area - I personally know someone from a lower-middle class background who paid $200,000 for his house near Allunga Road.  A minister of parliament also lived in Chigwell in the 1980's.  Perhaps the correct wording would be "lower socio-economic in parts".
Hi. I saw a request on Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts for an outside opinion on this article. My first observation is that there is no discussion here; if there are disagreements, this is the place to start in resolving them. Second, I notice a number of recent edits from anonymous accounts. That makes it hard to have a conversation, so I'd ask anonymous editors to [register] and log in when editing. As to the content, I think it could be improved, but I think the main flaw is a lack of citations. New editors should read the five pillars and include links to verification for all material in the article. Unverified information should be removed. I hope that helps!--William Pietri 00:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: i have just completed a major edit of this page. i have removed large portions of untrue and unverifiable information. As i live in the Northen suburbs of Hobart i happen to know for a fact Chigwell isn't what it used to be, but i wouldn't go as far as to say its one of the more valuable areas in Glenorchy. i have added more relevent information, like the FACT there is a post office and primary school in the suburb. And to my knowledge Berriedale has always been the same place just people who live slightly accross the boundry of Chigwell believe and say they live in Berriedale which over time creates an acceptance that the suburb boundry has shifted.

Template talk:Railway lines in South East England

message: The problem with putting  into the template is that it makes assumptions about the user's text size and window width. Worse, if the user's text/window size means that line breaks are needed before the , then using     as an item separator meant that the browser was forced to make the line break in the middle of a link. The only problem with my version is that we really need a "non-breaking hyphen" but HTML does not offer one.
