message: Shouldn't the article also mention W.E.B. DuBois activism for the recognition of African culture and the "Encyclopedia Africana" as one important afrocentric work? (Pharlap 06:36, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I think that DuBois should be in there, but it is hard to know where to put him. He's a very subtle thinker, and difficult to summarise. Also, his views changed quite a bit. Much of his early work draws on philosophical models and assumptions that are rather alien today and difficult to summarise. I think part of the problem arises from the difficulty of delimiting the concept of Afrocentrism itself. It's the 'mythic' aspect that has the "pulling-power", as it were. I think it would be wise to extend the history bit to look at the early attempts to create alternative histories of what were termed 'colored peoples', 'negroes' or Africans. Du Bois should be placed there, I still think there should be stress on the more mythic version initiated by James. (Paul B 19:20, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi, all, this edit to this page duplicated a large block of text (about 70% of the page). I have removed this duplicated block, and carefully checked it to see if anyone had added anything while it was here; I found one thing, which I have transplanted back into the page.
Please, all, be careful in doing edits - we have seen this problem on a number of pages recently. It's always wise (even on talk pages!) to do a diff on you edit, after it's done, to make sure that what actually happened was what you thought you did. Use of the "section edit" feature also help (and makes editing faster, to boot :-). Noel (talk) 15:16, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: When and why did everyone start using nori to wrap spam musubi?  What happened to the green limu kine?  
Personally I really don't care too much of the new kind wrapped in nori, but the limu version was great (though it sure did make you thirsty!).  Also, the best kind would have the spam in the middle of the rice, not just on one side (but that's a minor issue).  Gecko G (talk) 02:19, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Spam is neither the canonical Loco Moco meat nor accompaniment, so perhaps a better explanation is in order of the form, "another popular modern Hawaiian meat-and-rice dish."

Talk:Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond)

message: It would be quite stupid to wage an edit war over an obscure typeface used to typeset the tracklist of the album, so I'd like to state my point in full detail, not limited to the edit description oneliner. Please take a look at the actual back cover , not only on the listings on Allmusic or Discogs. OK, all the "I"'s here seem to have a diaeresis. But the character "W" in this typeface looks exactly like Cyrillic letter Sha, "Ш". The "L" is almost identical to Cyrillic Shha, "Һ". We could say that the "U" is actually Cyrillic Tse "Ц" or Dzhe "Џ", or even Gothic letter qertra. All this means that we need to interpret the diaeresis, as well as wacky renditions of other letters, as not really meaningful type design curiosity.
On the other hand, the word "Cultus", as well as conjunction "of", should be rendered as "Cvltvs" and "ov", respectively. The character present in these is obviously the same as "V" in "Above" and different than "U" in "Fornicatus".
What I state above is coherent with the tracklist on the official website. Uzyel (talk) 00:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The lambrequin is the short drapery that extends from the top of the helm down to the shoulders, to keep the sun off the helm and back of neck. On the other hand the mantle is an all encompassing garment that covers the shoulders and in most cases reaches the ground to protect the wearer from the elements. It may, or may not, have a hood.  The mantle certainly did not attach to the top of the helm, under the crest, at the torse.
