Talk:Brimo

message: in the article we read: "Brimos is thus the child of Persephone." but before it said "that Brimo (the mother of brimos) was ... a title of Demeter at Eleusis." where is the logic? '...the hierophant announced the birth of Brimos: "The Mistress has given birth to a Holy Boy! Brimo has given birth to Brimos! that is, the Strong One to the Strong One"'. "mistress" rather seems another title of demeter, not of her daughter... brimos would thus be the brother of persephone, and demeter another form of the 'frightening mother', like kali, who (psychologically) hardens, makes "strong" ("the strong one") through the 'fiery horrors' (demeter > demophon) of scaring initiation rites or other 'epiphanies' or 'hierophanies'...

Or, as an alternative, should these two lists, plus the list of "Mobile phone companies" be deleted from the article? None of the three lists are complete. Each only lists some of the providers. I'm not sure how the decision to list these specific operators and not others was made.

thread_title:  Clarity for the layman 

message: :Category:Reconstructed languages was a subcategory of :Category:Constructed languages. I removed :Category:Constructed languages on the grounds that "reconstructed language" and "constructed language" are two very different things. The former refers to a languages, such as Proto-Indo-European or Proto-Germanic, which is not directly attested but has been reconstructed based on various evidence; the exact reconstruction is often in dispute to a greater or lesser extent. Presumably, this means a language from farther back in time than the written record goes; usually a language with extant descendants.
A constructed language, however, is one which, instead of evolving more-or-less naturally, as all major extant languages did, was designed by someone; Esperanto is the most famous example.

Talk:Language reconstruction

message: I'm not sure this disambiguation page is needed: the phrase "language reconstruction" can refer to Linguistic reconstruction, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it to mean Language revitalization or Linguistic purism. Maybe I'm wrong? Pinging , who'll probably have a clue. –  Uanfala (talk) 21:43, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never heard the phrase used to refer to linguistic purism; that concept is somewhat related, but not ambiguous. I also don't think the sub-bullets added by  are really necessary, as they feature prominently at Linguistic reconstruction. I would say that leaves it at WP:TWODABS, with 'Linguistic reconstruction' as primary and Language revitalization secondary. The word "reconstruction" doesn't appear in 'Language revitalization' currently, but is sometimes used in the literature. Cnilep (talk) 01:48, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

message: I've compiled two lists of candidates of the USLP, its successor the NDPC, and others who've run as LaRouche Democrats. I've limited it to those who've run repeatedly, have won primaries, or whose candidacies were contested. I've also included those identified as holding positions within the NDPC. There's considerable overlap between the two lists and it may make sense to merge them. It may also make sense to split the NDPC into an article by itself, but I don't think we have enough material on that group at present.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 22:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The logo shown on this article is incorrect. It may be an early version, but not the one the party was known for, which had a tractor.

replies: text: It's quite possible that there was more than one logo. That doesn't mean that any of them are "incorrect". The logo on the page now is from the NYT, dated October 7, 1979. The broadcast on the other website is dated 1976, so it may have actually been the earlier one. Unfortunately, that video is low resolution so I don't know if we can extract a usable image from it. But if we can then it'd be great to add it too. Or if anyone has USLP literature that shows the logo maybe they could scan and upload it.   ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 21:12, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Also, that same page on  "LaRouche planet" also shows a publication with a third logo - the letters "USLP" over a sphere/globe. It's nextto another globe with the letters "EAP", so it may have only been used in Europe.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 21:16, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I can think of a few recent ones off the top of my head, Fierce Battle from Metal Slug 5 by Toshikazu Tanaka uses the effect very well. Magnetic Rumble from Megaman Zero 4 uses it *alot*, as do some of the other pieces of music from the series. One of the best pieces of music from the ZX games, Soul Ablaze also uses it. Metal Scratchin' from Sonic Rush uses it, and a very classic version of it at that. If I really got down to it I could probably find two pages worth of games that use the musical effect, many of them quite recent; in the video game music genre it never became a cliche, and if someone does bother to add video game music to this page they should probably note that. Although it is used a bit less more recently due to game hardware with better instrumentation or the ability to handle digitized sound files, allowing game music composers to create their own custom punchy effects. A good early example of that is the boss music from Megaman X5 which makes heavy use of many separate punchy effects that wouldn't have been possible before the PSX.

"Kaabunke influence was soon widespread in Western Africa. Nowhere is this better exemplified than by the formation of the Sereer kingdom of Siin to the north of the Gambia. It was in the fourteenth century that, according to Gravrand, the existing Sereer-Cosaan of the Siin-Saluum delta fused with Kaabunke incomers known as the Gelwaar, forging the Sereer group who became important Atlantic trading partners in the six-teenth century with the foundation of the stare of Saluum circa 1500 under the eleventh king of Siin, Mbeyan Ndor."
