Talk:Uncanny X-Men (band)

message: User:152.91.9.153 (talk) appears to have made three edits on 20 February 2009 to the Uncanny X-Men article. The last of these edits contained an edit summary stating Neither source supports the claim that the band released a song called "Children". It does not appear on their albums and I have no memory of it.
One consequence of these edits was to delete information about the single "Children".
One of the refs is Ian McFarlane's encyclopedia entry on Uncanny X-Men, under the sub-heading of History in the third paragraph, third sentence he states:
:"Uncanny X-Men signed a new deal with CBS which resulted in the album What You Give is What You Get! (#11, November 1986) and the singles `I Am'/`Treat Me Nice', `Children' (#10 in May), `Don't Wake Me'/`Truckin' on into Alice' (September), `Nothing Touches My World'/`Playing the Titanic' (January 1987) and `Start Believing'/`Sullivans' (June)." 
I read this to mean that the second single is given as "Children" with its position as #10 in May.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:59, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Further searching has shown that "I Am" was a 3-track single/EP with "Treat Me Nice" and "(Kill the) Children" as its two B-sides. McFarlane's website copy has a typo with a , used instead of a / between 'Treat Me Nice' and 'Children'. See Musicstack, Rate Your Music, Books & Collectibles and Uncanny X Men fansite for references. I have changed the article to indicate the single as being "I Am" with Kent verifying a position of #18 not McFarlane's #10.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 07:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: i'm curious if the band deliberately named themselves after the X-Men from Marvel Comics (otherwise, where did the name of the band come from?), and if the band is named after the superheroes, have there been any legal issues? and if there haven't been any legal issues, how does the band get away with calling themselves what they do?

Talk:Lighthouse Keepers (band)

message: I love this band, and there's stacks of good information here! That said, it doesn't read so much like an encyclopaedia entry as a press release or fanzine article.

message: I can wait for a reference. But "a record which still stands" is a questionable statement. It's unsurpassable since it is impossible to be defeated by less than one vote. It will stand forever, and others will be co-holders of this record. Also, it's not something one would be proud of, neither is there a competition going on who will be defeated by the slimmest margin. Thus the word "record" seems to be misused.

Talk:Dean Reed

message: Love affair with Vaclav Neckar? It´s absolute nonsense! Do you have any evidence, that Neckar is gay?! For the record, I have nothing against gay or lesbians. But speculations about love affair of Reed and Neckar... This is some kind of naive western tale about these "weird eastern european countries" (as you are thinking about us). By the way, I am Czech, so I dare to say that I know more facts about history and pop culture of my country than some quasi-sovietologist.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.113.8.134 (talk) 09:43, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I've read a couple of books about the man, and browsed the German website (deanreed.de), but nowhere does it say that Elvis Presley was Dean Reed's idol.
Do these sentences: "His fame, and record sales <...> even exceeding those of his idol, Elvis Presley."
"...more popular and a hotter record seller <...> than Elvis Presley, <...> the latter being his idol"
- have any foundation in fact?
The only connection between the two that I know of is that Dean Reed was often compared to Presley, and even labeled by some as the Red Elvis - based chiefly on a similar fame he achieved in Eastern Bloc countries - but I've never heard of him actually idolising Elvis.
Have I missed something?

message: Die Vergnügungsspalte is an ugly title (pleasure-slit), but might also mean Vergnügungsseite (funny column or ...page in a newspaper). The film was directed by Heinz- Gerhard Schier, under the name of Tony Barinda. The film got a FSK 18 rating. A german film blog lists Sergio Pastore as second director, but this obviously means, that the Vergnügungsseite or Vergnügungsspalte (both versions of the filmtitle were used) incorporated a 1969 film of Sergio Pastore (Il diario proibito di Fanny) into the new H.-G. Schier movie. Dean Reed was included in this old material.--Ralfdetlef (talk) 17:54, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  RfC 

message: This reads like a hagiography of someone described by Southern Poverty Law Center as "a virulent antisemite."
:Fahey firmly believed that "the world must conform to Our Divine Lord, not He to it", defending the Mystical Body of Christ without compromise. This often saw Fahey in conflict with systems which he viewed as promoting "naturalism" against Catholic order – particularly communism, freemasonry and rabbinic Judaism. He was famous for his opposition to the Jews, writing "[...]we must stand valiantly for the rights of Christ the King, the true Supernatural Messias, and strive to reimpregnate society with the supernatural spirit of the Mystical Body, we must combat Jewish efforts to permeate the world with naturalism. In that sense, as there is only one divine plan for order in the world, every sane thinker must be an anti-Semite".

thread_title: Move discussion in process

message: The following text was recently added to the article by User:Shadowkittie5460:
"This species is believed to be the closest living relative of the extinct Carolina Parakeet. Like its extinct cousin, in the wild it is a cavity nester that has a predilection for various fruits and seeds as well as an unfortunate attraction to plants cultivated by humans (maize, members of the family annonacae, etc.) and a common status in the pet trade. The plumage of this bird, with the Sun Conure is very close to that of the Carolina's and can be distinguished from the Carolina Parakeet in the beak being black in the South American species and horn colored in the North American one."
This is probably something that's going to require full referencing in order to remain in the article. Anyone ever heard of this theory (maybe I'm just behind the times - but it sounds unlikely to me)? Thought it best to flag it up. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 19:13, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Profound knowledge of human nature

message: I uploaded a color-adjusted version of Presentation of Colors, 1864. The original seemed yellow to the point of error. However, every copy of this painting I found seemed to be the same yellow color. Either the author painted it with a wicked yellow tint or the scan is bad and every copy online is derived from that scan. I tend to think it's the latter. Feel free to use the edit in the article if you feel the original is in fact wrongly yellow and the edit is a better choice. I realize that because I cannot find one single copy of the painting other than yellow ones, my edit smacks heavily of original research. That's why I hesitate to make the change myself... but I'll put it out there for discussion. – JBarta (talk) 12:21, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Derek Nimmo

message: In December 1998, Nimmo attended a National Treasures celebrity lunch in the boardroom of the Daily Express newspaper along with Sir Peter O'Sullevan, Joan Collins, Dame Beryl Bainbridge, Dickie Davies and Sue MacGregor amongst others. He had recently returned from a Middle East tour of Run For Your Wife[disambiguation needed] and was in sparkling form. After lunch he asked to be driven to the Garrick Club for further refreshment, and then returned to his Kensington home. He and his wife later went out to dinner. On their return, Nimmo was checking an external alarm when he lost his footing and fell down a stone staircase into the basement.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I can't cite a written reference to prove this.  However, fifty-five years ago my uncle, a Classics master and keen Ximenes solver and competitor, was pronouncing it with a short 'i'.  So has everybody else I've since met who solved him or his successor, Azed - and his name has come up from time to time at the Azed celebratory dinners/lunches I've attended.  Azed himself (on the BBC's Timeshift: "How to solve a cryptic crossword", BBC4 Nov 2008) pronounced the X as something like 'ths', which I presume is the Spanish way.  He still used a short 'i'.  Perhaps all this is original research and my entry should be removed.  
However, the previously given pronuncuiation is not how it is customarily said in relation to the crossword or its composer - it should not be replaced.

thread_title:  Pronunciation of 'Ximenes' 

message: No doubt I will regret this, but I have added some words about Macnutt's other pastime, beating (preferably pre-adolescent) boys with a cane. There is a reliable source for this, the historian Norman Longmate, but it was well-known, though not universally, to boys at Christ's Hospital (I was one, and was taught by him). Longmate comments "Along with his abilities as a teacher, however, went a fatal flaw, which today [2000] would debar him from the profession, if not land him in prison". The beatings were administered on the boys' bare buttocks, often until there were deep bleeding cuts. I have not gone into as much detail as Longmate does: he cites further sources from the Christ's Hospital school magazine which I have been unable, and perhaps unwilling, to access. Anyone with copies of The Blue might wish to consult the issues for July 1993, pages 140-141, December 1993, page 220, and July 1997, page 174, as well as Longmate's lengthy and informative memoir.

Talk:Desmond FitzGerald (CIA officer)

message: An item on the main page states that in 1960/1961, Fitzgerald was assigned to assist the new DCI, McCone.  The last sentence in the paragraph reads, "In that period, the French were still struggling to contain the Vietnamese civil war within the struggle for independence from the colonial power.[6]"
The Geneva Accords had been signed by France and the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam in 1954, ending the First Indochina War.  French troops had withdrawn from the south--which Diem had proclaimed as the Republic of Viet Nam by 1956, having been replaced by American advisers already under President Eisenhower.  I do not understand what is meant by "containing" the war between the DRVN and the RVN within a struggle for independence, which had already been resolved.
Further, in my opinion, L. Fletcher Prouty is a very questionable source, who seems to accept the reality of the High Cabal and other fringe ideas.  Usages such as that Fitzgerald was supposed to "indoctrinate" McCone (instead of simply "briefing" him), on behalf of a "faction" in the CIA, and the description of unidentified operations in Viet Nam as being "staged" seem to be to be loaded words consistent with a fondness for conspiratorial explanations, as in Prouty's The Secret Team.  In conclusion, I think more work needs to be done on both Prouty and Fitzgerald, as far as this article goes.
