Talk:List of child prodigies

message: Gauss, Galois, and Abel are some well attested mathematicians who were prodigies at a young age.  Gauss and Galois opened entirely new fields of maths, and Abel solved the general quintic question, which had been outstanding for several hundred years, and wrote papers which suggested much he died to soon to elucidate. A list which does not include these is damaged indeed.  69.118.209.149 (talk) 22:44, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  obvious lacunae 

message: User:Subuey has reinstituted Tristan Pang on this list with two 'citations'. The two 'citations' are chatty newspaper articles. In both of these Pang is aged above 12, taking him beyond the definition in the article. Neither is an authoritative secondary source. Neither of them indicates in any way that Pang at the age of 10 or below  produced "meaningful output in some domain to the level of an adult expert performer", as the article requires. It may be helpful for User:Subuey to read  WP:Verifiability. If evidence cannot be provided, Pang cannot be listed here. Evidence, evidence, evidence. Otherwise the article simply becomes an accumulation of cruft.--Smerus (talk) 08:27, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: Many others also listed, like Tao and Ramanujan, do not satisfy the age limited either. According to your argument, the article clearly states "below 10" and thus should not list anyone with achievements at  10 or above. 2407:7000:9FAD:A400:BC41:CC62:A805:E026 (talk) 00:15, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: I would concur that Pang should stay removed and Ramanujan should be as well. While their contributions are indeed impressive, they fail the initial requirements of the article, as other have said, and by that alone do not belong on the list. I also find serious doubt in Picasso on this list, no citation is provided,  and just a quick look at the picture that is used as justification makes it unlikely that many citations will be found. This source claims he was a child prodigy, but the main evidence seems to be from age 13. A talented artist nonetheless.  Aza24 (talk) 22:44, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Allen Adler

message: Editing from an IP, someone claiming (truthfully, I'll guess) to be Allen Adler's daughter Pamela indicated that Allen Adler's father was Abe Adler, stage manager, not Charles Adler, actor. But she left intact my statement that Allen Adler's father as the son of Yiddish theater star Jacob Adler by his mistress Jenny "Jennya" Kaiser. I'm confused. 
:Pamela, if you are reading this: Could you do me the favor of sorting this out a little further? I thought Abe Adler's mother was Sonya Adler, not Jennya Kaiser. So is the Jennya Kaiser thing here wrong, too? For what it's worth I had my information from Lulla Rosenfeld's book; Rosenfeld is also a Jacob Adler grandchild, and a fine writer but not the best fact-checker: I've caught her out in factual errors before, but not about her own family.-- Jmabel | Talk 05:18, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:James Bond/Archive 2

message: In order to decrease the size of the page, I'm planning on moving the parody section to it's own article. To be frank, it really doesn't add much to the character of James Bond, the films or the novels. Hopefully with the new article we can add more films and novels to the list (because I'm sure there are tons more) and hopefully create more of an article including the arguement that the modern Bond has basically become a parody of himself (see above). If anyone objects, please reply. I believe the name of the article will be James Bond parodies or Parodies of James Bond. One or the other.  K1Bond007 04:04, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Parody

message: I hate to bring it up again, but this page somehow keeps getting bigger. After removing the parody stuff we went from something like 50K to 43K. Somehow we've grown to 45K - doh. Does anyone have an idea what we can remove to thin the page? For starters, IMO, I think we should remove the Bond characters section. Merge the 00-agents with List of James Bond allies and just leave the section with links to villains, allies and Bond girls. The section is totally redundant and some of these characters are mentioned elsewhere in the page, such as M. 
Also I've mentioned it in the past in the edit summary, but I think the supporting cast column in the film table should be removed. It's something I see as unnecessary since they're all listed on the seperate film pages. It just seems kind of wrong when we don't even list regular cast members that play the roles of M, Q, Moneypenny, and sometimes although not always, Felix Leiter. 
Ideas, comments ? K1Bond007 07:58, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
: I agree that there's no need to list film supporting characters. Actually, I don't see the need to list any film information beyond title, year, and the actor playing Bond, since all the other information of interest can be found under the appropriate pages, just like we can have a minimum of information about the books since each book has its own page where that information can be provided. 23skidoo 06:12, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I've heard it stated different ways as well, that he; doesn't want to spend eternity in Heaven with a bunch of "meek Christians", "pious Christians" and some other pejorative terms. I'd be interested in knowing the original as well. Of course, not everything from the era of spiritually motivated hear-say can be believed. There are several Christian sources attesting that on his deathbed he called for a bishop to come baptise him but that he died before the bishop could arrive. To me this just sounds like a way that the old Christian scholars could claim that even Radbod believed they were right (so he wouldn't become a Pagan martyr) but at the same time put him in a position of not achieving the same salvation as the rest of them. If he had actually recanted at any point, I'm sure they would have made him more saintly, like their writing of history has done with Widukind the Saxon, or at least not assigned the overtone of eternal damnation to his person.
