Talk:City of Latrobe

message: I note that someone has said that Morwell, Moe, Churchill and Traralgon are cities, and that the less-populous places are called 'towns'.
Since the whole district/municipality is classified as a City, i.e. Latrobe City, I dispute that the term 'city' should be applied to the major towns. The Council, in its own documents such as the Council Plan 2007-2011 refers to these as 'four major centres' (page 9). If this was a municipality closer to Melbourne, they would be called suburbs, not cities.
Perhaps confusion arises when you compare Latrobe to other large rural municipalities, such as Bendigo, where there is a town called Bendigo, and it is the centre of the municipality of 'City of Greater Bendigo'. Also, Bendigo's layout is such that it does not have separate (i.e. disconnected from each other) large towns, whereas Latrobe does.
Perhaps the use of 'cities' has also arisen from the fact that, prior to amalgamation, there were separate municipalities called "City of Traralgon", "City of Morwell", etc.

message: "His name may be based on Kirke, the legendary sorceress from Greek mythology; this is speculation, however, and his lack of sinister qualities might make this unlikely. Another possibility is a governor of Newfoundland." 
-- I don't think we need to look that far afield --
From Kirk: "As a common noun, kirk is the Scots and Scottish English word for ' church ', attested as a noun from the 14th century onwards, but as an element in placenames much earlier. Both words, kirk and church, derive from the Koine Greek κυριακον (δωμα) 'Lord's (house)', which was borrowed into the Germanic languages in late antiquity, possibly in the course of the Gothic missions."

thread_title:  The name Kirke 

message: Under the Voyage of the Dawn Treader section, this page says that Professor Kirk's house "burned down."  In my version of the book, there's no mention of this.  It simply says, "If he had still been in that house he would have had them all to stay.  But he had somehow become poor since the old days and was living in a small cottage with only one bedroom to spare."  "The Last Battle" only mentions that the Rings had been buried at a house in London.  Unless someone can produce documentation from some source that I'm missing (maybe a different version of the book?)I'm going to remove this reference.  Dave 23:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

If anyone disagrees, I'm asking you to please discuss the matter here – as should have been done in the first place – before reverting my restoration.

Talk:Let 'Em Eat Cake

message: It looks to me as though whomever edited this page in the past had this idea that the dictatorship in Let 'Em Eat Cake was intended by the authors to be a Soviet-style, left-wing autoritarian state. I don't think this is accurate. I think previous editors have taken license in saying this without a proper citation from the work. For example, one editor describes the government established in the musical as a "dictatorship of the proletariat", even though the expression does not appear in the source for the inline citation, "Let 'Em Eat Cake" [a song from the act I finale]. Nor does the historical expression "let them eat cake" have anything to do with authoritarian communism. Virtually every review I have read of the play is adamant that the dictatorship was intended to echo those of contemporary fascist countries, although a New York Times review of the 1987 Michael Tilson Thomas production uses the expression "dictatorship of the proletariat"-- casually, without regard to a specific passage from the play. I am trying to obtain a copy of the full libretto to review this myself, but I am quite convinced that this was a mistake on the part of a previous editor.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnarcichallyInclined (talk • contribs) 21:47, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

message: "Soon after a PC based emulator called Bleem! was released.

VGS was ported to the PC, where it received less popularity."
The comment about top Mac speeds is incorrect.  I got a 400 MHz Mac in fall of 1999, around the time this was released and I know faster ones were available.  I'm not sure what exactly the point of the paragraph is, either.  I'm re-writing it. Ace of Sevens 05:30, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Oi! punk ideology

message: There is a problem with all of these Punk ideology pages in that Punk does not have an ideology, so all of its off-shoots don't have ideologies either. They have cultural traits, but not ideology. There is a difference. Punk & its off-shoots have been used by different political movements from Anarchism to Communism to Liberalism to Nationalism, but these are all Punk being exploited for an external political movement's gain. As far as i can tell, Punk is apolitical and non-ideological. It is cultural & even then, it is a temporary & very young culture. Anyhow, i think that needs to be said before these articles can even be addressed.

I don't know where he's coming from here. The statement he quotes is correct. The barycenter of pluto and Charon is not within the surface of Pluto. The barycenter of the Earth-Moon system is within the surface of the moon.

While there is some truth to the above statments, they are not correct. The Orbit of an object is not related to mass. It is related to the mass of the parent object, but not the mass of the orbiting object. Also, the relationship between fusion and mass is somewhat untenable.
