thread_title:  Long interval 

message: I've never read the Pern novels, and I was a bit curious so I started reading about it in Wikipedia, and one thing jumped to my attention. Thread is defined as something that eats all organic matter, yet at some point deformed dragons are created that can eat thread. That immediately set off my plot hole alert! I've found a couple references in reviews of Dragonblood that criticize this fact... what gives? What's the official explanation? Should there be a section in wikipedia explaining this or whatever? 200.48.20.67 15:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's odd. From what I've read, fish love to eat drown Thread, and I havn't read Dragonblood. Mabey if the Thread has been killed? It seems that it'd be a risky move on the Dragon's side of things. Stray strands could graze the mouth, jaw, eyes, etc. Perhaps a dragon with a belly full of firestone? The hot mouth could kill it on the way down the gullet. Exoviper 06:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just finished reading Dragonblood. It turns out that Watch-whers can eat thread. The exact mechanism is not explained, allthough Wind Blossom does mention adding silica based armour to the skin of the watch-whers...perhaps this is in it's mouth as well, perhaps long enough for some form of saliva to kill it...heck, maybe it's just water? That's just my guess...--Quadraxis 21:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

text: If I remember correctly Dragonquest suggested that the fire-lizards could devour Thread but it was never mentioned in any of the other books that I can recall. That book also involved the lizards being used to scout Thread burrows to check if they were active. Barrin 12:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Herman and Katnip

message: From the article:
:The key difference is that, regardless of who personified good or evil (with Katnip being the latter on almost all occasions), Herman always came out on top against Katnip, while Jerry won his fair share of comic battles against Tom.
With Jerry being the mouse and Tom being the cat, doesn't this mean that the situation is the exact same in both cartoons? JIP | Talk 20:35, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: They were a staple of cartoons that aired specifically on Channel 7 KATV in Little Rock Arkansas in the late sixties and early seventies. They were part of the BOZO SHOW. Bozo the worlds most famous clown was a franchise that the late Larry Harmon was in charge of. Arkansas's Bozo was Gary Weir. They would have games for children and then have cartoons. This was afternoon primetime for children. Because it came on after school had been dismissed.  I know I went the long way around, but Herman and Katnip are real and verifiable.

Talk:Glyndebourne Festival Opera

message: In preparation for expanding the opera festival article, I discovered Glyndebourne.
While I won't discuss the need for merger here (as I think there may be enough material from various sources to expand both), we do need agreement on the proper name of the article.
Everything I read say "Festival Opera", not the other way around, so I'd like to change the article name.
Does everyone agree?

thread_title:  Change of Name proposal: from Glyndebourne Opera Festival to Glyndebourne Festival Opera 

message: I've made some corrections, but this article needs a very great deal of work (which I'm unable to engage in just now).  First, the sentence about Mozart includes the dread words "are considered the finest ever done", not recommended WP style (WP:PEACOCK).  Second, why on earth is Porgy and Bess the only opera mentioned by name, and in unnecessary detail at that?  Something to do with the Featured Article business, I suppose, but it sure unbalances the already vestigial article.  I resisted the temptation to delete all of this.
OK, maybe I'll try to do something quite soon (sigh!).  --GuillaumeTell 21:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it's an odd article the way it stands. It should really be about the company and productions, etc., so needs a lot more fleshing out.
The Glyndebourne article focuses on the house and theatre, but that needs work too.  I'll get to it asap, but this is a busy summer for me at the Santa Fe Opera.
Vivaverdi 23:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

text: My inclination is to make the Glyndebourne article about only the history and architecture of the house and the development and rebuilding of the physical theatre.  There has to be a little overlap with this article (I agree: company and productions is what it should deal with), but it should be as minimal as we can make it.  I'll try and get this going during the next week.  I have lots of books and programmes with information that can be used in both articles.  So much to do - so little time! --GuillaumeTell 00:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lahiri Mahasaya

message: I agree.
Somehow, on Wikipedia, you only have people who are atheists, or else believe that any religious claim is to believed, and nothing in between.
It seems highly likely that this guy created Kriya Yoga from books, and then came up with "meeting a 2000-year-old avatar" as a good story to sell it.   This is just like ACIM being channeled from "Jesus" and Castaneda copying everything out of old books in the UCLA Library.
When you compare to Ramakrishna or Ramana Maharshi, a lot of the Yogananada/SRF stuff "smells off" and seems to have been influenced by the charlatans called "Theosophy". 162.205.217.211 (talk) 19:46, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Photo with better detail 

message: Hi Red Rose,
As you know,i changed yesterday few things on the page starting with Baba's photo.
This is new to me,so i just went and started to change things.Today i saw page went back to old content so i tried to figure out how did that happen and i ended up here.
Anyways,why not to use better resolution photo?
Also there is more reliable source in regard Baba's life than Yogananda.Purana Purusha by Yogacharya Chatterjee.He was ordered by his Guruji,Satyacharan Mahasaya,to write the book.He claims that he used in the book only those stories that could be verified either by Lahiri family or other senior Kriyabans,those of second generation(like Panchanan Baba's or Bhupendranath Mahasaya's disciples)
So it would be good if we could work on this together and make it even better.
Thanks,cheers!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuyp (talk • contribs) 13:55, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Hopefully, listing the articles in the template will draw more attention to them, so more people will add to them...

Talk:Constitutional theocracy

message: I removed the entire unverified list of so-called "constitutional theocratic" political parties.  The article gave no citations/references for such a list.  I found no mention of said parties when Googling (regular and Scholar) "constitutional theocracy".  As far as I can tell, none of these parties uses or claims the title.  If you want such a list, research it and cite sources in the article.  It would be seen by most not advocating such a system as an epithet.  In addition, I tagged the article as original research (or unverified claims) because the definition does not seem to be that which is used by the few sources that mention the phrase.  The only nation I saw called a "constitutional theocracy" was Iran (and curiously you didn't include their parties in the list).  I tend to think the definition was made to fit the pre-conceived list of parties.    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 21:09, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Original Research

message: As a person who took a few political science courses in college, the meaning appears obvious, but for me to put it in the article would be OR.  A "constitutional theocracy" is to a theocracy as a constitutional monarchy is to a monarchy.  Here are a couple places meeting WP:V that I've found the term used:  is a paper from an academic journal; TIME magazine had an article in its Nov. 24, 2003 issue that used the term;  is a wire-service article using the term.  A serious attempt to find other WP:V sources will succeed, but Google might not be the best tool.
The deletion of the list of parties was appropriate where they lacked individual citations.  But the term itself is a legitimate term in political philosophy and law, so an article on the subject is needed. GRBerry 02:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree it is certainly "a legitimate term in political philosophy and law" - and also that the parties' list needed deletion. Some description of how this phrase is used in US political discussions might be useful, if referenced. --HJMG 07:41, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
