Talk:Brenda K. Starr

message: Far too much information on Starr's relationship with Mariah Carey, and hardly anything about Starr herself. From what I've read elsewhere, Starr appears to be a notable recording artist in her own right, so this shouldn't be too hard to remedy. Extraordinary Machine 21:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but you have to recognize the public's fascination with someone who had such a significant role in the rise and rise of Mariah Carey -- did Mariah abandon her old friend as soon as she tasted superstardom? is there any lingering ill-will between the two? what is their current relationship now? -- as well as curiosity over their current relationship may be. It's only natural, after all. But I believe that since you made this remark, there has been some effort to expand the article in the direction you intended. -- Jalabi99 03:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Brenda K. Starr was jealous and that's the reason why she said that the name MIMI as a nickname for Mariah was just a promotional thing to sell more copies. That statement was obviously a lie because in some of her older songs, like on the album "Charmbracelet" artists called her Mimi in songs and her family does call her that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MicP (talk • contribs) 19:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Demetrius II of India

message: I am aware that this article might border on breaching Wikipedia's policy against unauthorised claims, but IMHO, facts about the Demetrii are in a contradictory state and Bopearachchi's identification simply does not match with a proper reading of Justin's account. I have stated my view about this on the discussion page of Demetrius III. Upon looking in Bopearachchi recently, I realised who Demetrius II looks like: Eucratides II. Same string of pearls, same orientation, even a common mintmark.
Alternative theories may be constructed: Eucratides defeated Apollodotus I (presumably Apollodorus of Artemita's text read something like "Apollodotus, brother of Demetrius (I), king of India") and was murdered by his son and co-regent, named Demetrius after the great conqueror. (No contradiction here. Cassander succeeded Alexander's brother, killed his son and still had his own son named Alexander.) And then Justin had the names confused.
The main problem with this alternate theory is that it gives Eucratides I no less than four co-regents: Plato, Eucratides II, Demetrius II and Heliocles I. But Plato does not easily fit in with the image of a co-ruling son, since he is obviously a middle-aged man, and if he is placed before Eucratides I but died after a short reign. This view is possibly supported by the latters introduction of the Dioscuri - a duo made up of one mortal and one immortal hero - which may be interpreted as "my dead brother and I". 
So with Plato gone in the 160s BC that leaves three kings. And if either Demetrius II or Eucratides II died early, we still have one son who murdered Eucratides and one (Heliocles I) who avenged him.
None of this is of course material for an encyclopaedia. But IMHO no more contradictory than many other ideas about these kings.

Talk:Signal transduction pathway

message: I'm proposing to merge this page with the signal transduction page. Maybe a list page should be created for signal transduction pathways to complement the signal transduction pathway section after the merge. - 13:50 18 Dec 2005 PST Alberrosidus
Yes, I agree. - 18:37 14 Jan 2006 EST Richard Lanzara
I agree, there is no possibility to discuss signal transduction without mentioning the path(way) that represents it or vice versa. The statement that alters gene expression is wrong, it can alter gene expression, but it can also lead to some expression-independent effects (where the end-point is protein (de-)activation through phosphorylation) Daviddecraene 18:30, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I agree, This page should merge with Electric Guitar or should be a tab on the page.

Talk:Girls Nation

message: For convenience of use and to avoid confusion, Boys/Girls State and Boys/Girls Nation should be on the same page until each topic actually has a substantial amount of information of its own.
As it stands, even though the Girls State article has a substantial wordcount, the information within is unverifiable, ungrammatical, or both. I think it would be more conducive to increasing the quality of the article, if it were put on the Boys/Girls State site, where it would benefit from greater exposure. After it has been improved, we could maybe move it to its own article. -JianLi 22:03, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Squat party

message: These three overlap and I think they need to be joined in some way, any suggestions?  -- rex the first Dec 19, 2005 (GMT)
:I'd agree, but not merged: a Squat Party is more exact type of free party, in it's own way these three are very close but they have every right to be separate, it's about venues, a Free Party could be anywhere, in the forest, a quarry, a warehouse, or a squat, but may not expect more than a couple of hundred people along, whereas a Rave one would expect to be held indoors, and attract many more people than either a squat party or a weekend's Free Party, as they are frequently better (more indiscriminatly?) advertised.-- Kidoblivious, OK I'm anon, but its me.
::Perhaps as a compromise Free Party and Squat Party should be merged to form one article ; but remain separate to "but linked from" Rave. A Squat Party is a form of Free party that occurs in a temporarily squatted building as opposed to outdoors - and they are often held by the same people (in the UK winter makes outdoor venues obviously unsuitable!)
::incidentally in my area of England (SE England) all these events are often just referred to as "parties" or "raves" by those who attend them.
::The main Rave article is (understandably) dominated by lots of info on British and American commercial raves; which is why I think their non-commercial counterparts deserve their own treatement-- General Lighting, UK
I am well up for joining Squat and Free party into one sensible article (they are too similar and regually refeer to the same thing) with Squat Party being a type of rave party, agreed?  Rex the first
Fine by me  - when this is done may add some stuff about the economics / logistics of these events. (but not too much, in my country you can get done for even plotting to have an unlicensed rave now!) General Lighting 21:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Paper Chase (Osborn novel)

message: I wonder if this "paper chase" page is the whole story. While it discusses the novel/movie with that name, there seems to be no page regarding the game of "hare and hounds" as documented at an online dictionary (wordreference.com):
hare_and_hounds (paper_chase, hare_and_hounds)-- an outdoor game; the hares start off on a long run scattering bits of paper (the scent) and the hounds try to catch them before they reach a designated spot
Obviously, this might be the source of inspiration for the title of the novel discussed in this article.

Talk:Sergeant Benton

message: The list of appearances is probably incomplete, because I don't have all the short story collections or comics, and the usual reference sites don't always mention a brief appearance by Benton or Yates.  (They often say "featuring the Third Doctor, Jo and UNIT" or something like that, which doesn't tell me whether Benton specifically appears or not.)

message: In a matter somewhat related to the above, Benton appears in David Bishop's sidestep novel, Who Killed Kennedy. Late in the story, the narrating lead character, James Stephens, appears in the events that are the climax of the TV serial Day of the Daleks, and runs into a large UNIT sergeant. This is undoubtedly Benton, but I admit the identification is less conclusive than that of Jo Grant when Stephens sees her and the Doctor at the demonstration of the Keller Machine at Stangmoor Prison (The Mind of Evil).
