Talk:Spice up Your Life

message: The Chicago Manual says, regarding the capitalization of titles, "3) Lowercase prepositions, regardless of length, except when they are stressed (through in A River Runs Through It), are used adverbially or adjectivially (up in Look Up, down in Turn Down, on in The On Button, or [Latin section omitted]. (Section 8.167, page 367 of the 15th Edition). So something like "Spice Up Your Life" (DrippingInk's version) is preferred by Chicago to "Spice up Your Life" (Mel's version).

Talk:Jon Speelman

message: The link Bob Wade is to a different person with the same name.  I don't know what to do to fix it.
:Amusingly (or annoyingly, I'm not sure), the article at Robert Wade is also not about the chess player. I'll try to sort it all out.
:Incidentally, while I'm here: the article says that Speelman "is also known as "Spess", short for "specimen", one of the many misspellings of his name in the press over the years." Is this really correct? My memory is that "specimen" was the suggested word you got if you put his name into certain spellcheckers (I remember doing this was a recurring theme in Mike Fox and Richard James' Addicts Corner column in Chess Monthly a few years ago). "Specimen" seems a rather unlikely misspelling to me. --Camembert

Talk:Doctor Faustus (novel)

message: I don't know if this kind of comment is appropriate, but I'm appalled by these comments on the translation by HT Lowe-Porter: "It is quite serviceable, although the English is often awkward and sometimes ugly as the translator attempted to preserve the linguistic spirit of the author's own era (a stylistic sensibility so difficult to reproduce in subsequent generations). In an effort to reproduce the effect of Mann's archaic German, used in various sections of the novel, Lowe-Porter uses archaic English vocabulary and phrasing, but the effect in English is very different, being merely disconcerting. 
The English only seems "awkward" to people who can only accept 21st century English. In my opinion, HT L-P's English is absolutely masterly, indeed it represents a major work of art in itself. I often re-read this book simply for the rare pleasure of reading perfect English.....furthermore the archaic sections are excellent. The epigonal translation mentioned subsequently is simply not in the same class. (This unsigned comment was left by an unidentified user on 12 July 2007)

thread_title:  Unreferenced remarks re translations 

message: Most of the changes I just made are selfexplanatory. But let me add the following:
I replaced Kant with Dürer because I do not remember the former in the novel but a long discussion of the latter's Melencholia I or Melencolia.
Like other jewish names deriving from the name of a town Breisacher means a man from Breisach on the Rhein. Breisacher has not and does not suggest any other meaning. And although Brei is indeed pulp or mash or puree, Breisacher is neither a person or a tool used for making it nor the porridge they serve at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna. 
Vogler is fowler, not prattler. Cf. King Henry the fowler in Lohengrin (opera).
How Serenus could possibly hint to Seraphicus remains a secret. Franz Schubert was just Franz Peter, although the librettist of his requiem was a Franz Seraphicus Schmid.
Nepomuk was a quite popular name in catholic Austria and Bavaria. The German Thomas Mann knew and used has no such word as Mucke and anyway it is hard to assume that Mann could have intended to suggest capriciousness of that little angel Echo. The discussion of this nickname does not convince/satisfy me and I could well do without it. But I did not touch it.
Considering that Marlowe's Faustus had most probably no importance at all for Thomas Mann's novel it doesn't make much sense to expressly mention it. 91.62.111.150 (talk) 21:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Use of Torture 

message: Ky was mentioned in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech Why I am Opposed to the Vietnam War. In this speech, he was quoted as "who fought with the French against his own people, and who said on one occasion that the greatest hero of his life is Hitler. This is who we are supporting in Vietnam today." This is not only a notable reference to the man (the recording also won a Grammy in 1971), but also some highly charged accusations which might need to be mentioned on the page. Faldizzle (talk)
:MLK's accusation seems to be backed up by over a hundred roughly contemporaneous newspaper accounts.   According to one website, the statement in question originated from an interview Ky gave to the London Sunday Mirror. Also, the quote is referred to in the German version of this page and a reference is provided. I strongly agree that this is noteworthy and should be mentioned on the page. -WK  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.114.19.95 (talk) 07:30, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Mark Tremonti

message: Why is he listed as this in the intro? Singing co-lead on one out of 40 songs Alter Bridge have released does NOT make Tremonti a "co-lead vocalist". He's a backing vocalist.

Talk:New South Wales Legislative Council

message: Prior to 1978,the members were elected by a joint sitting of the LA and LC rather than the LA alone
<H1>Correction of important error</H1>
The following information is incorrect:
In 1836, it was radically reformed, with the number of members increased to 54, with two-thirds of them being elected. 
It appears to have been the result of a misinterpretation of the timeline on the Legislative Council history page , which is missing the date (1850) following the 1836 entry, and preceding the text "Australian Colonies Government Act passed, Council becomes 54 Members, 2/3rds elected". The aforementioned Act was passed in 1850, not 1836, and as such the figures given for the size of the Council are incorrect at that time. I have corrected the relevant section so that it contains accurate information, and will contact the administrator of the Legislative Council website with regards to correcting the oversight on their own web page also.

message: I think they won't.  Dilithium crystals are not an obscure titbit of Star Trek lore, but an inherent part of the Star Trek franchise and entrenched in society to the same degree as using the force or big brother is watching you.  Moreover - and importantly - the existing text is wrong, as I stated in the edit summary.  The high energy photons collected by Uhura and Chekov are not to power the craft.  This is clearly explained in the film so there's no reason to include incorrect and misleading details when accurate details are provided at the expense of a single word count increase. Chaheel Riens (talk) 19:14, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest that if dilithium crystals are as known in pop culture as The Force in Star Wars, it should be easy to demonstrate that with sources. Beyond that, it's unnecessary for the plot, so the point remains—you lose nothing in terms of accuracy by removing it, and in fact remove an unnecessary detail someone might not know. It's not misleading at all: the ship needs power, they get the power for the ship. "Well, actually, they were charging the crystals which then charge the ship" is just pedantry.
