Talk:Martial Law (TV series)

message: I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I can find references to this phrase, but they are all references to having been at one or funeral homes mentioning it as an expense.  Also, the linguistic jump makes me wonder when/where the use may have actually started.  Still, it does not seem to be anything notable, or even "nifty".--Human.v2.0 (talk) 01:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

text: If not deleted, then at the very least this should be a dismbig page, with perhaps a mention of it's use in the funeral context, if any legit definition of it in that sense can be found. A simple redirect would be without merit due to the only reasoning would be the base word root, which is an unlikely mistake for someone to make for either of those rather particular uses.--Human.v2.0 (talk) 17:08, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, not to mention that the best connection even this article can manage is that it is "presumably" derived from the French word.  It is entirely as possible that the two are unconnected, barring any sources whatsoever. --Human.v2.0 (talk) 18:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not suggesting that the funeral meal called "purvey" is in any way related to the legal concept "purveyance". What I am suggesting is that the verb form of "purveyance" is "purvey", and therefore it would not be a mistake for someone to type "purvey" into the search bar when looking for the legal concept "purveyance". It is also the verb form of "purveyor", as is made plain by . For these reasons, "purvey", if not a valid article unto itself, is at the very least a valid redirect page.

Talk:Supertrain

message: In 1979, Steve Martin would use Supertrain as the punchline of his 'Hobo' comedy bit (at least he did on one occasion - when he performed live at the Minnesota State Fair).
Martin, portraying himself as a down-and-out skidrow bum, is offered a second chance for a Hollywood career with an guest appearance on a network TV show.  When he is told that the show is Supertrain, he immediately replies, "No thanks."

If we visit the official site of this year edition, www.superseries.fr, the list of the former winners is only since 1987 too. When was the first edition then, in 1909 or in 1987? Which tournament was the tournament between 1909 and 1986? MontanNito 15:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:LNB Élite

message: I recently created a page for an American basketball player who was on the 1973 and 1974 AS Berck teams that won the French National Championship.  Somebody created an internal link for "French National Championship" that linked back to this page.  Unfortunately, AS Berck's titles came when the top French league was known as "Nationale 1."  The French version of the "National Champions of France" page makes the distinction between the leagues, but the English version does not.  Project for a pro (someone other than me!)?

To my knowledge I first heard of Truth or Consequences, NM through its mentioning as the billed hometown of this wrestling persona.

I no longer actively follow wrestling myself, but there are millions of wrestling fans worldwide, and Mick Foley is a well known star.

Talk:Camma

message: I put the  template on this page for a reason. I doubt very strongly that the current text of this stub ("In Celtic mythology, particularly Breton, Camma was a hunting goddess.") has any merit. What Breton mythology? Which text? Where on earth is Camma attested? Perhaps indeed, this is the name of an old Gaulish goddess from what's now Brittany. Why then can I find no attestation of her in my sources for inscriptions of Celtic theonyms? The name, as it is currently spelled, cannot be good Breton. It might be ancient Celtic, but the only ancient personage of this name that I can find is a Galatian mortal described by Plutarch. I will be bold and rewrite the article accordingly.

message: The following block of text
:Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are or where we are going in this ocean of chaos; it has been the authorities, the religious, the political, the educational authorities who have attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulation.  Informing, forming in our minds their view of reality.  To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.

message: I was trying to find a source for Franklin as the author of the quote.  Couldn't find anything that offered a specific citation, so went to franklinpapers.org and searched on "question" and "authority" and could find nothing.  I'm not sure that franklinpapers (Yale University and American Philosophical Society) covers the entirety of Franklin's output, but it does cover a significant portion.  This Wikipedia article currently states that "...Franklin was often quoted as saying..." which is true just based on a Google search on the term "question authority", but that doesn't mean he said it.

Talk:Kushano-Hephthalite

message: The article states that the Sassanids conquered Kushano-Hephthalite lands in Kapisa in 644 AD. However at that time the Sassanids' army had been destroyed by the Arabs 3 years previously (641), and they were indeed being overrun by the Arabs. It doesn't seem plausible that, while the heartland and capital of the Sassanids were being conquered by the Arabs, the Persians somehow mustered enough strength to conquer an enemy whom had survived attacks from the Persians at their height, just 50 years before. If the Persians did manage to conquer Kapisa, it would have had to be earlier than 644. Thomas Lessman (talk) 22:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

La Provence newspaper on the occasion of the 100th anniversary (http://www.laprovence.com/article/france-2565) gave a more reliable figure, saying "après une course d'environ 300m, l'engin se sépare de l'élément liquide, parcourt environ un demi-kilomètre à 5 mètres de hauteur" = "after a run of about 300m the machine separated from the water, covering about a half kilmometer at a height of 5 meters." This makes "about half a kilometer" the best figure so far. Would be better, though, to find a contemporary newspaper account.
