Talk:Pittacus of Mytilene

message: As stated in WP:ERA there needs to be a substantial reason for why the date format should be changed to BCE/CE from BC/AD followed by discussion and consensus on the talk page. Since there is none, a proposal will be made to revert the date formats if there are no objections to this not happening. Dalek (talk) 12:31, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reversion of date format 

message: One of the sayings attributed to Pittacus is given here as "Whatever you do, do it well." The source is supposedly Diogenes Laërtius, i. 77. Now the only saying I see there that has any resemblance is "τὸ παρὸν εὖ ποιεῖν", in response to the question what is best. I think a literal translation is, "To do the present well." Hicks translates this as: "To do well the work in hand." Other translations I see on the web include: "To make the most of the present"; "Doing the present work well"; "That which is present to do well".) Whatever the best translation, isn't the present version "Whatever you do, do it well" a bit too much of a stretch?  --Lambiam 10:32, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Irish Rugby Football Union

message: I removed the following:
The single national federation was able to survive (in contrast to the Irish Football Association for instance) because players in the North and South shared a similar outlook and background - educated at private boarding schools and generally unionist in outlook - even if they differed in religion. In many ways this continues to this day - for although most Ulster-based rugby union fans and players are Protestant Unionists - they are also middle class and comfortable with the idea of travelling to Dublin to watch the national side play whilst in the South the prominent players come from private schools.
Some problems:
* Can we really say that all supporters of Irish rugby are predominatly unionist in out look? Especially in the south. This doesn't tally much with my experiences. Sources please?
* "prominent players come from private schools" can we get a source for this? More players than ever are being drawn from club sides as opposed to private schools. Also what relevence does this have to the rare position the IRFU enjoys in Ireland.

Talk:Incense

message: In this section there are sections that could stand some clarifications. Japanese aloeswood is generally separated into area of origin and into categories that deleniate the qualities of sweet, bitter, salty, spicey, sour. Jinko & Kyara are terms used to qualify the proportion of resin in the wood as well as the quality of that resin. Both jinko and kyara are sinking incense and Kyara with the highest quality.  Some also diferentiate between a wet or dry scent.  The term "oud" is I believe an arabic word and while it may be used in Japan, it is not a Japanese word. Koh-do is "The way of incense / fragrance" and generally refers to a more formal and ceremonial enjoyment of incense wood where the participants sample rare wood, gently warmed to release the fragrance.  They then judge the wood and write their impressions of each wood sampled.  Koro is the Japanese term for incense burner.  68.107.137.101 (talk) 03:28, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Elsa Morante

message: Most Wikipedias, and also the Britannica, state that Elsa Morante was born in 1918. However, some Italian sites, and the Italian Wikipedia, state that she was born 6 years earlier, in 1912.  
Here are some 1912 sites:
* http://schoolwebby.gioventudigitale.net/superiori/sez/pag43.htm  
* http://www.italialibri.net/autori/morantee.html
* http://www.italica.rai.it/argomenti/grandi_narratori_900/morante/biografia.htm
* http://www.italiadonna.it/public/percorsi/biografie/f110.htm

message: Per WP:BRD, if you boldly make a change and someone reverts your change, it is time to discuss the change.
Although you haven't explained your edits, I am assuming you're including Inside Out here as you feel the basic premises are similar.
Yes, Inside Out is sorta-kinda like Herman's Head. It is one of many works featuring personifications of emotions, stretching back to Sophocles, various gods (Virtus, Laetitia, Honos, Concordia, Epiales, etc.), Frau Minne, Mrs. Grundy. Wikipedia cannot begin to support the lists that would grow on articles about Star Wars or any other work if the inclusion criterion is merely that someone thought they had something in common (Star Trek, The Wizard of Oz, The Cannonball Run, etc.).
If you have independent reliable sources discussing a meaningful connection between the two, we might have something. Otherwise, it is original research. - SummerPhDv2.0 18:32, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
