message: The pronto pup is different from a regular corn dog because the batter contains wheat and the dogs are hand-dipped and fried right before your eyes.

message: What's this taken from? And could there be a copyright problem? --Spudtater 22:23, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: From the article:
:Unfortunately, Florence neglected to patent the character and consequently lost a considerable amount in royalties. Recognising a large and profitable market, many toy companies took advantage of the popularity of the books and started to manufacture the doll, while other writers and illustrators took equal advantage, but in doing so changed the very soul of the Uptons’ creation.
IANAL (I Am Not A Lawyer), but the idea that you could patent a character seems rather strange to me; typically, characters are trademarked. Is this just a mistake? If not, some explanation why patenting a character would be possible (not to mention desirable over trademarking it) would be nice. -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 14:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of constructed languages

message: This atricle lists numerous languages that don't seem to meet the criteria of constructed languages: a clearly defined phonology, grammar (syntax and morphology), and vocabulary. Specifially many of the languages in the Artistic/fictional languages section don't. For example, nothing is known about the phonology and grammar of Orwell's Newspeak, and little about its vocabulary. (I don't remember if Orwell cites a full sentence in Newspeak. Anyway, if Orwell created a language that diverges more than any local dialect from Standard English he concealed it from his readers.) Other items seem to exist only as random syllables rather than languages. They are certainly not what linguists, and conlangers who spend a lifetime developing languages, call constructed languages. Not even close to that.
I am afraid I don't know how to identify the would-be languages, so my proposal is to delete all questionable entries and only add new ones if they are sufficiently sourced with a description that covers the above-mentioned three basic elements of language.

It looks like there is a small stream draining Meredith Reservoir into Lake Waukewan near Waukewan Beach. Is that "Measley Pond Brook"? Was it redirected into the upper lake when the canal was built?

message: The genre has been frequently changed for a while, so let's discuss the genres here and come to a consensus. After consensus is reached here, I think we should comment in the Wiki code that the genres are to remain unchanged unless first discussed in this section. I happen to listen to Mogwai extensively, and my opinion is that post rock, instrumental rock, and indie rock work perfectly well to describe this type of music. But let's discuss any additions or changes here. –Cosmopolitan (talk) 22:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Atomic is comprised of reworked versions of their soundtrack for Storyville - Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise, a documentary on the dawning of the atomic age that aired last year on the BBC. Is this considered the band's ninth studio album or is just another film score? I can't seem to tell the difference because the music press make it sound like their ninth album. What do you guys think? TheNecessaryEvil (talk) 05:34, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The level of promotion for Atomic seen in media, in record stores, and from the band's various online presences seem roughly commensurate with prior soundtracks (Zidane, Les Revenants), and included none of the super-high-visibility marketing, special editions, or value-add promotions that have become de rigueur for full-album releases by "major indie" artists, including for The Hawk, Hardcore Will Never Die, and Rave Tapes. I would strongly vote to remove it from the shorthand "Albums" listing on Mogwai's main article, as has become standard Wikipedia practice.2601:182:C701:B683:3073:10F3:AFB1:1D36 (talk) 19:06, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Mr Beast (album)

message: I have two questions.  First, I wasn't quite sure how to number this album.  It is listed ninth in the discography on the Mogwai page, but it is really only the fifth actual album.  Listing it as the fifth feels more correct to me, but other album pages follow the sequential order of the discography.  Can anyone think of a better, more explicit way to express this?
Also, unrelated to the album numbering, I am uncertain of the legality of the image used.  Does anyone know if unreleased album covers qualify under fair use? Imaginaryoctopus 23:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I'm not an official source but I would guess using even the higher resolution cover from the Matador Records site would be okay. Mogwai is an indie band, and is on Matador in the US, a label which asked to be taken off the RIAA list for prosecuting p2p folks. It is my guess, as a fan of Mogwai, that using the current image is okay. And, from my basic understanding it does pass the four-factor test. As an aside, when a record review site uses an album cover how does that work out? Do all the little sites have to okay it? Hmm. Also the comment from Alan McGee on 'Mr Beast' being possibly better than 'Loveless' is interesting, I hadn't read that yet so thanks to whoever included it. --Haruki 09:44, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
