message: Ashley Hutchings was born in Southgate but moved to Muswell Hill... a distance of about five miles, I'd say. Is this significant?

message: In the 1950s, the Biblical scholar G.A. Wainwright wrote two articles:  "Caphtor-Cappadocia", Vetus Testamentum, vol. 6, pp.199-210 (1956) & "Some Early Philistine History", Vetus Testamentus, vol. 9, pp.73-84 (1959), in which he argued "that Caphtor, the well-known homeland of the Philistines, was in Cilicia Tracheia."  In his second article, he went on to argue that Philistines did not originate in Cilicia, but were Illyrians, and he associates them with the Trojan war.

message: Cilicia is not an ancient a name; the region was officially called Cilicia until 1922, then after Cilicia name continued to be used internationally. In the last 20 years, Cilicia name is being more accepted in Turkey; many hotels, restaurants are naming themselves Cilicia nowadays. Çukurova is the plain of Adana, so it is a loose definition for the region. Cilicia is still the only name to define the region. I suggest to convert Cilicia article to a geographical region article, from ancient region article. I can move many parts of Çukurova article, including recent history.

message: this article is incorrect. Both Remy Martin and Tony Sunshine became full members of the Squad after the death of big pun. Terror Squad has had two different line ups in its history, the first one being Fat Joe, Big Pun, Armaggedeon, Cuban Link, Triple Seis and Prospect. They where the only mebers at the time of the first Terror Squad album. The next line up was Fat joe, Remi Martin, Armagedeon, Prospect and Tony Sunshine.

Talk:Pain Elemental

message: Here's a question: is the amount of Lost Souls a PE can spit actually endless? I seem to remember that they're limited to 20 in the original game (or maybe 20 that are alive at the same time?). In any case, this should be cleared up. -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 30 June 2005 15:31 (UTC)
I agree, I think either each PE can only spit out X LSs, or every level can only contain Y LSs in total. I think I read the latter was the case on a Doom fan site actually, although I don't remember the exact number.
Also the mention of the PS bug isn't PS-only; at least I'm sure earlier versions of Doom on the PC had LSs get spit out outside of the actual level. Maybe this got fixed with later versions? --Retodon8 07:34, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

message: How should the name of the composer of the music for “Serenade” be spelled? Most Westerners now spell it Tchaikovsky, but City Ballet took up, during Balanchine’s lifetime, the spelling Tschaikovsky. Why? Because that’s how the composer spelled it when he was in New York in 1891. (My thanks to the reader who sent me a copy of his Carnegie Hall autograph from the Pierpont Morgan Library.)

replies: text: In normal circumstances I'd say that's trying to circumvent it.

Talk:Phi Sigma Pi

message: This page has a lot of problems. First, it violates the Wikipedia Conflict of interest policy, which means "contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships." One editor self-identifies as part of Phi Sigma Pi and in this Talk section indicates that this article is a collaborative project of fraternity members. It certainly reads like a puff piece written by the organization itself, and even ends with this very non-encyclopedic information: "The National Staff is available during normal business hours, M-F from 8-4:30 PM EST."Virtually all of the citations are from the organization's own websites and publications. That means it's just a reflection of what the organization says about itself. This is a major problem, since there is not a lot of other easily findable information about Phi Sigma Pi. When people on discussion boards ask if this organization is legitimate, I've seen others say, "Well, they have a Wikipedia page, so they must be." But the Wikipedia page only tells you what the organization wants people to know about them. Some individuals have reported information that differs from what is stated in this article--for instance, some people with 2.0 GPA's report getting invitations to join an organization that bills itself as an honor fraternity.Unfortunately, the only way to really transform this article would be to have a few journalists do some investigations. In the meantime, though, maybe some work could be done to make this article not so self-serving.
