message: Good question. Fernández wrote the lyrics: "La tierra de Borinquen/donde he nacido yo" ("The land of Borinquen where I was born"), but was actually born in Spain. That can be dealt with. However, the article claims here that his parents were born in Puerto Rico. That is perhaps a stretch. Any tangible proof on this? Demf 14:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Odd link 

message: Puerto Rico, by a law signed by Gov. Luis Muñoz Marín in 1952, has two official anthems, La Borinqueña and The Star-Spangled Banner.  Some consider the former as PR's "national" anthem, others as its "state" anthem and the latter as its "national" anthem.  Can't we settle on a more objective, middle-of-the-road "official anthem" (which it is legally).  And, please, let's not start the usual "Puerto Rico-is-a-nation" debate.  I'm just looking for a middle-of-the-road consensus before editing. Pr4ever (talk) 02:44, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Maxwell Anderson

message: I have to write an english paper about Shakespeare's "Richard III" and found this on the "Richard III Society, American Branch" website about a play "Richard and Anne" by Maxwell Anderson: The author claims that "Anderson (...)left behind a large body of work which included more than thirty published plays, a volume of poetry, two collections of essays, and twenty unfinished or unpublished plays. One of these completed but unpublished works was Richard and Anne, a two act verse play about Richard III. (...) the script, handwritten on 70 legal size sheets, including revisions, is now with the author's other papers in the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin. Access to the work is hedged in by a great many restrictions, including one against quoting from the play, although several copies have circulated in the past."
Can anybody confirm this statement? It seems impossible that there are texts in a university you can neither read nor quote? 
87.188.240.241 (talk) 21:24, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not familiar with this particular document, but from what you cited, the play is housed in a university archive, not in the library's circulating collection.  The work is unpublished, which is likely why there are restrictions on quoting it.  The estate holders hold exclusive rights to publish the play (or not) and do not want scholars or students giving out information that might jeopardize their ability to publish it later.  As for the restictions on reading it, there are probably likely more copwright fears (If someone reads the play, the publishes a similar play that they've written, they will hold the initial copyright), but more than likely it is about preservation.  Maxwell Anderson wrote all of his plays in longhand, so the 70 pages might be in his handwriting, which would make them both precious and fragile.ÇaCestCharabia (talk) 19:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

message: What does "its" mean in "Utrecht was the fortified former Roman limes castellum of Traiectum, which was so named because of its possibility to cross the Rhine"?  If this section means "Origin of name" perhaps it could read
"The word 'Ultrajectine' is the adjective that comes from the name of the city Utrecht, namely, "of Utrecht".  Utrecht is the Dutch form of the fortified former Roman limes castellum of Traiectum, which was so-named because it was at a crossing of the Rhine."--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 18:48, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Foster Brooks had a lesser known talent.  When I was in high school in the early 80's, he appeared on the Wink Martindale Celebral Palsy Telethon in Jackson, TN, and surprised everyone by singing "Danny Boy".

message: In September of 1993, I sat across from Foster Brooks in the first class section of a flight from St. Louis to Springfield, MO. At the moment I don't remember if I heard him saying that he was going to Branson to perform, or if I just assumed that.  But in any case, I do remember him getting off the plane with a hanging bag which would have contained a suit.  Someone might want to do some research to see if Mr. Brooks performed in Branson in September 1993. And then add it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.98.11.162 (talk) 02:05, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gay subtext 

message: They do of course - and you can see their point(!) On the other hand this whole thing is a (deliberately) silly parody that lampoons not just Native Americans but everyone in sight, so we might tend to at least partially forgive the unforgivable in this instance. But this of course is not really the point - someone had inserted "citation required" tags that either intentionally or otherwise conveyed the impression that to even mention any (perceived) hint of racism here was original research and (by implication) needed deletion! (Oh dearie dearie me!) So perhaps we'd better find a reference?! A very quick Google search produced four reviews - all of which alluded (to varying degrees and points of seriousness) to this "problem". I have stuck online web links to all four between a pair of "REF" brackets - which actually produces a neater "reference" than I expected. Anyone who wants to regularise this a bit is of course more than welcome. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 03:58, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:New Orleans Rhythm Kings

message: Good work expanding the article. However the claim that the NORK w/ Jelly Roll session was the first racially integrated recording session is one of those misconceptions that somehow keeps being repeated no matter how many times its disproven. In jazz recordings, earlier inter-racial recordings include those of Clarence Williams with Jules Levy and Joseph Samuels some 2 years earlier, and if one is going to count a light skinned Creole of Color like Morton as breaking the color line when playing with white musicians, by the same criteria one would have to label the Original New Orleans Jazz band as an integrated group, and they made their first recordings in New York in 1918. The claim currently in the article doesn't even specify jazz, just "first mixed-race recording session". Bert Williams recorded with white studio bands for Columbia a decade earlier, and George W. Johnson and Len Spencer recorded together at least as early as the 1890s. This explained, I will now modify the article. -- Infrogmation 14:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Discographies like Brian Rust's Jazz Records, and finding out ancestry of individual musicians listed. I don't know if there's been any published compilation of early interracial recordings in one place (that might be an interesting project, and I bet many more can be found with research). However that there were various examples before the Morton/NORK collaboration was no secret among collectors of US acoustic era records even 20 years ago. -- Infrogmation 17:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hugh Wheeler

message: I deleted the following section, which doesn't cite a reliable source, is unencyclopedic in style, and digresses into an irrelevant (and confusingly written) anecdote:
:He was also a friend of Noel Coward, he was homosexual which is why he left England, he was not on good speaking terms with his brother, who had 3 children, 2 daughters and one son (called John Wheeler, an Engineer), one of them was to inherit his money. John Wheeler may have got it, but when a rather large man came up to him and asked what he did, and when he told the man, got a rather disgusted reply, John said," So what do you do then!?"
:The man was Noel Coward, the money all went instead to the youngest daughter, who was on the best speaking terms with him.

message: I am not assessing for GA as I am active member of Hinduism wikiproject, though I can suggest things for improvement as requested.
* Siva spelling: the spelling Shiva/Shiv is usually used in Sanskrit and Indian English. Śiva is IAST. Ganesha, Kali used in the article are not in IAST, but in Indian English. The article uses Sanskrit words as Ganesha, Skanda, Navaratri
* Pages: when multiple in no. use pp. 12-14, when single page is quoted use p.12 
** 
* Timeline of Munneswaram temple needs references. 
**
* The article heavily relies on one source. The theories of Bastion (dates of construction, conversion of Muneeswaran temple to Shiva temple) may not be universal. Additional references needed for history. The views of other scholars need to be included for a fair view. 
* Like many regional Hindu deities, Munisvaran - the local deity seems to have merged with Shiva. Muneeswaran is currently viewed as an aspect of Shiva. NOte it somewhere. 
* "The temple dedicated to Ganesha is the newest amongst the Hindu temples" There are 2 Ganesha temples, which one?

Talk:Karaiyar

message: I think we have a problem here relating to the connection between Karaiyar and :Karava. Numerous sources seem to indicate that former are Tamil people of India and the latter are an equivalent community of Sri Lanka, eg: p. 4 of this. I can't see the McGilvray source mentioned in our lead section, which we claim says , but it doesn't seem to contradict this. As such, it would appear that all material relating to Sri Lanka should be at :Karava, not in this article.
