Talk:I Married a Witch

message: Steven J. Anderson removed the section about the relationship of this film to Bewitched.  I don't disagree with the removal -- I almost did it myself when I was working on the article a couple of months ago, but decided to let it go -- but I thought I'd put the section here for reference, since a citation which established the existence of the "common belief" would probably be sufficient to reinsert it.
==Possible inspiration for Bewitched==  +  
- It is a common belief that the popular 1960s television series Bewitched was inspired by this film. Sol Saks, the creator of Bewitched, neither confirmed nor denied this in his book, The Craft of Comedy Writing. He said that "the idea of a witch living as a mortal…has been used in Greek mythology, in fairy tales, in novels, on the stage, and in motion pictures. The only real originality, I’m quite willing to confess, was that Bewitched was the first to adapt the concept successfully to the television screen."Quote by Sol Saks link to Bewitched Coincidentally, Cecil Kellaway appeared in one episode of Bewitched as Santa Claus in 1964.Cecil Kellaway's list of appearances in IMDB
Actually, Sol Sacks, creator of "Bewitched" (1964), stated in an interview for "True Hollywood Story: Bewitched" that he drew inspiration both from "I Married a Witch" and "Bell, Book and Candle" (1958) in creating the iconic TV series. Columbia Pictures owned the rights to both of those movies. As it also owned the television studio that was to produce "Bewitched," Sacks didn't worry about getting sued.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.149.224 (talk) 21:40, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Once in a Lifetime (Talking Heads song)

message: I just came across a poem by Edward Hirsch- "Commuters".  It's about a guy coming home from work, asking himself 'Is this me?' and the streets seem to fill up with water.  "This isn't me sitting in this car
Feeling as if I were about to drown".  Hirsch was born in 1950.  I wonder if anyone else sees similarities and thinks this peom might have been part of the inspiration for the song.

message: Something that I thought would be notable about this song is how the rhythm changes between verse and chorus: the bar is counted from a different place in each, resulting in a "missing" half-bar in each verse->chorus or chorus->verse transition. This is very unusual indeed for a pop hit. I'm not familiar with the published sources about the song, but it would be surprising if this distinctive feature of it were not mentioned somewhere. MartinPoulter (talk) 11:44, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unique rhythm 

message: Should something about the legacy of the track being sampled in other songs and tracks be mentioned? For example British house duo Bassheads originally sampled "Once in a Lifetime" in particular along with a diverse range of artists including Afrika Bambaataa, The Osmonds and Pink Floyd for their 1991 single "Is There Anybody Out There?" which reached number 5 in the UK Singles Chart.
The use of this sample by Bassheads was quite prominent as is worthy of mention and I'm fairly sure a number of other tracks have been made over the years sampling "Once in a Lifetime" which may be worthy of mention as much as the cover versions have been.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.79.222.87 (talk) 07:14, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Ogre Kingdoms (Warhammer)

message: 'Entirely bereft of secondary sources; minor fantasy variant of the Dungeons & Dragons creature'
A lack of secondary sources is somewhat justified as the majority of the article is factual information taken from primary sources, although sources could be cited. However, the 'minor fantasy variant' claim is unsubstantiated as the D&D Ogre bears only the most cursory resemblance. Furthermore, as this article represents a full race of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, it would be illogical to simply link to the completely unrelated Ogre (Dungeons & Dragons) page from the main Warhammer page. Note that, for example, High Elves has a page, also bereft of secondary sources, and very similar to D&D counterparts, and yet it and other WFB pages are not marked for deletion.
On these grounds, there is insufficient reason to delete the page entirely and I have removed the offending tag. 98.114.198.214 (talk) 23:03, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Template talk:Personal pronouns

message: Sorry to be negative, but I really can't see the purpose of this bar. Most of the links are already in the personal pronoun article, which is the one and only proper place for this information to be. In fact, that's the only place it is at the moment, so there really is no point.
Also it is incomplete—where did "I", "she", "he" go? Where did "objective" go?
Also it is inconsistent—why have "You" and "Thou", why have "they" and "them", why does possessive point to possessive pronoun and subjective point to the generic subjective (grammar)?
So given that, I'm going to remove it from personal pronouns page. PizzaMargherita 21:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Rough and Ready (album)

message: The article states that the song "Situation", included on this album, "had lyrics by [singer Alex] Ligertwood" and that Ligert's replacement Bobby Tench "was given only a few weeks to write new lyrics" for the album, yet neither Ligert nor Tench are credited in the track listing. Who wrote the lyric for the version of "Situation" that appears on the album, Ligert, Tench, or Beck? The article isn't clear about this. Who wrote each of the other individual lyrics? It may be, I suppose, that Beck at the time didn't consider a lyric part of a song proper, in the same way that many pop stars don't consider a bass line, say, part of a song proper, but if that's the case, why should Wikipedia necessarily follow suit? If the official credits contradict the actual authorship, the article needs to distinguish the two carefully. It does not currently do that. TheScotch (talk) 07:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

===Expansion===
I have expanded the article but must say that not being attached to an academic community makes it difficult to obtain journals & books of specialized knowledge. I have found University libraries generally not obliging to the ordinary citizen (loaning books out, use of their computers, etc.) which can be understood as their primary mission is to serve the student. Yet this sets up a barrier to the flow of in-depth knowledge from the school to the surrounding community of citizens. Much thanks must go to a professor friend of mine. A great addition would be a modern picture of the site. If anyone lives nearby and could upload such a shot, it would enhance the article greatly. Alcmaeonid 17:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

1. Я не знаю, как доказать "легальность" фотографии, которую я загружаю на эту страницу. Может быть, вы зарегистрируете эту фотографию и выложете ее в данной статье сами?
Мост, который вы предлагаете поместить как иллюстрацию к городу Шуя Ивановской области относится также как и к любому другому городу. К тому же, я даже приблизительно не могу определить, где этот мост мог быть и где река Теза имеет такую ширину. Фотография моста - хотя и отвечает правилам википедии - это неудачная иллюстрация к статье про город. 
2. Объясните пожалуйста, чем Вам не угодила таблица с информацией о городе и гербом, которую я выложил, создав эту статью?
