Talk:Jay Ward

message: The Moose That Roared: The Story of Jay Ward, Bill Scott, a Flying Squirrel, and a Talking Moose 
I'm parking this here until I can research if Books is an appropriate section title.  "References" doesn't really seem appropriate since it wasn't really used in writing the article, as far as I know, anyway. Spalding 23:57, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

message: A paragraph late in the article says that a business or two was run by "his family," but we get no information on them at all. Was he married, did he have kids, are we talking siblings and parents, or what?
Also, if you check "What links here" on the main article page, you'll see that there's a link from a museum in Marshall, Texas, that houses the "Ramona and Jay Ward" masks collection; do we know whether it truly is the same Jay Ward? I came to this article to see if there was a Ramona in his family, as that might give a clue, but can't find out from here. Lawikitejana 23:16, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Last night I was astonished to see "Jay Ward" listed as Art Department Manager, and Production Manager of the (animated) end titles, of Pixar's production "Ratatouille" (2007).  My first thought... "Wow!  He must be at least in his nineties by now... and still at it?!"  Perhaps Wikipedia needs another "Jay Ward" article to disambiguate...  Wildbear (talk) 19:38, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Vaisakhi

message: Why has Vesak been included on this article? What connection do the two festivals have? They aren't from the same religions, they don't follow the same calendar systems and they celebrate two very different things. The only thing they have in common is that they both use a similar name because both names derive from the Sanskrit word, "Vaisakha". Just because they both use similar names, they do need to be both addressed on the same article. There is already a note above that reads, "This article is about a Sikh and Hindu festival. For the unrelated Buddhist festival, see Vesak". It already points out the fact that Vesak is an unrelated festival, by including information about Vesak on the page under a confusing name like "Buddhist Vaisakha" is only going to confuse the reader into thinking Vesak is the Buddhist version of Vaisakhi, when it's not. I can't think of any other pages on Wikipedia that include information on unrelated topics just because they share the same or similar name. So if were to include Vesak on Vaisakhi it would mean we would have to create a section on corn tortilla and include information on the Spanish tortilla because they both share the same name. I have removed it because it is not needed on this article. (101.160.21.43 (talk) 06:27, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Acda en De Munnik

message: I did it - I stumbled into a blind link. Yay!
The link did exist in the Dutch wiki so I decided to do a quick translation. There are however a few things that should be noted, things that might encourage future contributers (or myself, for that matter).
*In eliminating a blind link I created lots of new ones. That's the way Wikipedia grows I suppose.
*I've translated the titles to the best of my ability, yet they need checking by a die hard Acda en de Munnik fan.
*This article may not yield the English speaking reader a lot of answers. The Dutch have all heard Het regent zonnestralen on the radio, but to the English speaking reader this is unknown territory. This may also be a subtle weakness in the original article. If you feel like contributing, maybe you (or I) could answer the following questions:
**Why are my Dutch friends listening to this?
**Why should we care about Acda en de Munnik?
**What was their role in (Dutch) musical history?
**Are they mainstream or off-beat?
**What is their musical heritage?
**Why are the texts so important?
**Where can I find translations of the lyrics? (So I know what I'm listening to.)

The current translation features both possible interpretations from the second verse, while dropping the first. Chances are my English is somewhat broken (after all it's not my native language) so the first verse could perhaps be more elegently translated in a different way, but the current translation just drops it and that, I think, is wrong.

Talk:2nd Ring Road

message: I was reading through this and saw that the section copied below has several tense-shifts and is very confusing. I have no knowledge of this subject, so someone needs to fix this.
Here it is:
    
The Old 2nd Ring Road
The former "old 2nd Ring Road" was rather ellipse-shaped. Its northwest part goes through Xizhimen, its northeast part goes through Dongzhimen, its southwest part goes through Dongbianmen and Xibianmen. Its southern part was connected to the southern end of now-so-called "Metro Road" which goes through Qianmen which is at the southern end of Tian'anmen Square.

thread_title:  Redirect 

message: The 1847 eruption is the only event to supposedly cause deaths, however I cannot find sources for this information.  The wiki article states the deaths were from earthquakes.  Can anyone find sources on the 1847 eruption so that we can add information on eruptions previous to 1995?
Some sources http://www.volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=384010 report an eruption in 1909, while others do not.  There are no details on this eruption, but the date lies at the cusp of living memory.  Did this actually happen?  Can it be proven?  What are the details of this eruption? Chã das Caldeiras likely does not have anyone living from that time period, though there might be a few people that were alive then as infants.  It seems more likely that very old people remember accounts from their parents and grandparents regarding this eruption.  This may have been the first eruption since the settlement of Chã das caldeiras, and likely one of the most significant events in the lives of the settlers.  
There used to be a graphic showing the lava flow areas of each of the eruptions, but I can't find it online anymore.  This would be useful to link to.  41.221.198.231 (talk) 12:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: [Lenght of the 1st Intermediate Period?]

message: Many of the sources were written before the Second World War. Since then, at least some authorities -- such as Stephan Seidlmayer, "The First Intermediate Period (c.2160-2055 BC)" in The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt (ed. Ian Shaw) argues that from being a time of anarchy & constant civil war, it was a time when political power devolved to the nomarchs & that people beyond the royal court enjoyed an improved standard of living. A number of cultural & technological innovations emerged during this time. Of course, these facts subverted the official ideology that the pharaoh was infallible & the source of all benevolence in the land of Egypt, so later writers tended to de-emphasize these facts -- leading to the exaggerated statement from Manetho that the Seventh Dynasty comprised "70 kings who ruled for 70 days". Admittedly Seidlmayer's essay is but one opinion, but WP:NPOV dictates Wikipedia include all notable opinions on a topic. -- llywrch (talk) 20:54, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
