Talk:Perry Miller

message: It seems that this article is more about Ong than about Miller? --Janneman 19:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Large and wealthy institutions have PR departments and don't need our help celebrating their own, do they? They pay people to do that. Perry Miller was accomplished, prolific, and highly influential but this page doesn't yet contain the great deal of criticism from his fellow historians including his student and friend David Levin, or George Selement, or many others.  This criticism is most important to represent in this encyclopedia, not because of what it says about Perry Miller the individual, but because he was shaping our view of our past. On a mere two-page spread, I have stumbled across more than a dozen factual mistakes by Miller. These mistakes seem to add up to a larger problem. Levin writes, "What troubled me was the belated discovery that some of his statements which looked like mere statements of fact were actually wishful interpretations which were not true." (p.31). It is even more troubling when you discover a tradition of heavy-handedness and seemingly willful mistakes, or a disregard of the truth, from the contemporaries at Harvard who brought Miller on board, especially GL Kittredge and Kenneth Murdock. In reading Miller today we can probably learn more about the culture of "Harvard men" in the 20th c. than about NE Puritans (who thankfully wrote in an English prose at least as coherent as Miller's).

thread_title: Untitled

message: I have not seen it documented anywhere but in my youth the train operating on the Wivenhoe to Brightlingsea spur of the Colchester to Clacton-on Sea line was known as the "Crab and Winkle Express" ( the line itself was also refered to as the 'Crab and Winkle")  The name reflected the main marine harvest from the Brightlingsea area but did not reflect the speed of the 'Express".  I suspect these names were just local nicknames as I think it unlikely that a railway company would have deliberately chosen the name. Also there are other lines with the same name. As the people who remember this name are in the senior age group I thought that I should document my recollections of this train somewhere, in case anyone comes searching in the future - what better place than Wikipedia..  The line was closed and the tracks removed in the early 1950s.  It was steam hauled to the end with very poor quality carriages.  Passengers used umbrellas to protect themselves from the leaky roof in many parts of the carriages.Bebofpenge (talk) 13:45, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Asterix and Cleopatra (film)

message: I have noticed several flaws with this DVD. The video becomes choppy at around 20 minutes in, akin to a bad case of dropped frames - I have verified that I am getting a 'clean read' from the disc. Also, the widescreen format appears to have been achieved by merely cropping a 4:3 print. This is evident in several scenes:
*Obelix's When You're Eating Well song - when Cleopatra sings her part with Obelix sitting on the throne, his head is out of frame.
*Magic potion demonstration - the last block of stone appears on the makeshift pyramid with a resounding 'ping'; we do not see this.
*Obelix views Santa Claus carving on pyramid wall - the image is cropped.
I have contacted Optimum Releasing about this, but have received no response. I am tempted to merge the above into the main article - I gave them a chance to explain and they chose to ignore me.
Maybe I'm the only one that is really bothered about it but it was my favourite film as a kid. I was given the set for my birthday and was disappointed with the lash up they made of it; if that makes me really anal then I guess it's a fair cop. --Danny Darko 19:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Haldane's rule

message: I propose new language for the entry preceding Haldane's definition. I think that it's important to note that this rule asserts itself not only during the early stages of speciation, but also in situations of secondary contact after allopatric speciation. Here is my proposed language:
Haldane's rule represents a remarkable observation in early stage of speciation. The rule also applies to two species which, after allopatric speciation has occurred, form hybrids when secondary contact in an area of sympatry results in incomplete reproductive isolation.
Please share your thoughts about my proposed changes. --Dialecticas (talk) 12:21, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Adding to introduction

message: Apparently this expression needs to be disambiguated in a slightly entended description. Is there a biologist ready to help?--Wetman 20:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "homozygous chromosome"

message: I don't really understand this paragraph. One possible rationalisation of the rule is that in two subspecies, a gene necessary for fertility or viability may be absent from the homozygous chromosome of one of the subspecies, and so not be transmitted to some hybrids with the heterozygous sex.  As speciation progresses, this is likely to start with a reduction in fertility, and then of viability, of one of the sexes of hybrids, at which point the rule can be seen; if it then affects both sexes then the two subspecies stop being able to interbreed and become different species.
A gene necessary for fertility absent from one subspecies. What does that mean? If it is really valid, please rephrase and reinsert it. thanks. --Seb951 15:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request 

message: Opening a discussion here regarding the repeated, often unsourced addition of Jackie T as a nickname for Tretton. As I see it, Jackie T is simply a slang-type informal largely used by fans in comment sections (See Google search results) and by Greg Miller and crew on the PS I Love You XOXO podcast. I have found no reliable sources that state explicitly that Tretton's nickname is Jackie T, nor anything that states he uses it personally. Nevertheless, I have moved the info to what I feel is a more appropriate reception section in the hope that that will appease everyone. The edits on the page over the last few days border on an edit war and I have no interest in being involved in one. Matt14451, please discuss here before making any further changes.

message: While Wiglaf originated with Beowulf, currently there are three Wiglaf's of note.  One, Wiglaf Droste, a musician from Germany.  Two, Wiglaf computing cluster, built as a second generation Beowulf computing cluster.  And three, Wiglaf Journal, a journal devoted to supporting sales and marketing executives in business markets.  What each of these have to do with ground based entities would require tremendous imagination.

message: Wiglaf (proto-norse *Wigalaibaz) has the Old English parts Wig- (war, battle, strife, contest) and -laf (remnant, remain leftover, to leave).

thread_title:  Etymology 

message: This is a statement that looks a bit categorical. Beowulf (Beowulf = bee-wolf = bear) has a counterpart in Bödvar Bjarki ("little battle bear") who leaves Gautland/Geatland and arrives at the Danish court in Lejre/Heorot, where he kills a beast (a dragon) with the help of a younger man, Hjalti. Although not a perfect corresponce (Beowulf kills the dragon with Wiglaf later), a correspondence between Wiglaf and Hjalti is nothing new:
:"Sarrazin further equates Hjalti with Wiglaf, and says that the speeches of Wiglaf recall those of Hialto in Saxo Grammaticus, to which attention had been called by Bugge. Wiglaf's sword, too, has, according to Sarrazin, “gewissermassen” the function of the old demonic sword, which we have seen is, on his theory, to be equated with Hjalti." 
::(source: Some Disputed Questions in Beowulf–Criticism, by William Witherle Lawrence)
:"[...] for the last fifth of Beowulf, Wiglaf is significant in more than the role attributed to Bǫðvarr's Hjalti in the Norse analogues" 
::(source: Longman Anthology of Old English, Old Icelandic, and Anglo-Norman Literatures)

Talk:Protector of the Small

message: I have read the whole Tortallan series besides Trickster's Chioce, and I have to say, besides Alanna, that this is the best series in the saga. She doesn't fool around, she had morals, she cares about animals. Protector of the Small. While she thinks it is a stupid name, I think it fits. From griffins to horses,from dogs to sparrows, this lady is a saviour to the people. I like how Tamora kinda of uses Kel as an opposte of Alanna. While Alanna is short, loud, married, and has a really bad temper, Keladry is very tall, quiet, single. and has no temper to be seen. Not that she doesn't. When she does get mad, people pay big time for their mistakes. Like when some (I won't tell who, it will reck the story) people took Lalasa, she got really mad when justice wasn't served. She got the king to change a law! After some debating, of course. I really recommend that you read it in order. If you don't, it will reck the other ones. Read them in order. The series in order, too. Starting with Alanna then Daine, then Kel, then Alianne.
I agree. But don't you think the trivia isn't that helpful? I mean, anyone who reads the series knows about the whole Yamani thing. 75.4.55.248 17:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
