Category talk:Fictional gay men

message: Is this sort of thing necessary? Smacks of homophobia to me. PatrickJ83 01:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What's homophobic? The inclusion of certain names, like Harkonen, or the whole category? I could see the other side saying it's a "gay agenda" gay studies kind of category. That it's pointing toward the role gay men have in fiction ala The Celluloid Closet.--T. Anthony 04:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it because there isn't a category for fictional heterosexual men? — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 21:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So does this mean the "men" part should be removed to make it "Fictional gays"? Or does it mean :Category:Gay actors is homophobic because there is no :Category:Straight actors?--T. Anthony 07:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Category:Fictional lesbians exists, as does :Category:Fictional bisexuals so I can only assume that it's because nobody on Wikipedia is categorised as heterosexual. I don't think that's homophobic, but I don't see what else PatrickJ83 could mean. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 16:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think sometimes people assume respecting others means pretending everyone is exactly the same, rather than acknowledging differences?  The sexual equivalent to color-blindness or political correctness?  Anyway heterosexuality is considered the "norm" and automatically assumed unless stated otherwise, that's why we don't need to point out straight people, and why it's so important to call attention to LGBT people and others who "break the mold" so to speak (particularly since objectivity is constantly undermined by stereotypes and prejudice, and efforts to erase homosexuals and other "dissenters" from history and culture).  The comparison to the Celluloid Closet is apt.  See heterosexism.VatoFirme (talk) 22:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Keota, Colorado

message: :'Keota' is an Indian word meaning "Gone to visit" or "The fire goes out"
I am always suspicious of these vague etymologies. Not only is the particular Indian language not specified (always a red flag, since anyone can make up anything and say its derived from something in 'Indian'), but the two meanings are pretty different from each other. In order to determine which one is right, we would at least need to know which language the name is from. If we don't know which language it's from, how is anyone even able to speculate about its meaning? Beorhtwulf (talk) 22:21, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Erdan features in part one of a four-part series by Aljazeera investigating the Israel lobby in the UK. Speaking at an Embassy of Israel event in London while Israel's Minister of Public Security, Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy, at about the 13 minute mark in the episode, he says: "I grew up with the ideology that the Land of Israel totally belongs to the Jewish people. Not any compromise ... morally, Biblically. The Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people." Also see this Aljazeera article.       ←   ZScarpia   20:50, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Ludlow, Colorado

message: This page has existed for some time. Those dudes at Talk:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart notwithstanding, I saw fit to affix an infobox to this page, as well as place it within the scope of Wikiproject Ghost Towns. My hope is that, with any improvements to the Ludlow Massacre page, we can focus here instead on the general overall history of the settlement. Unfortunately, it is difficult to parse out what the town was like before and after the massacre other than that at some point it was abandoned. Any and all help to this end would be greatly appreciated! ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:39, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Tarryall, Colorado

message: There were actually two towns named Tarryall, both in Park County, and this article confuses and combines them both.  The first Tarryall was founded in 1859 in the Mosquito Range in NW Park County, but became deserted as soon as the placers were exhausted.  The second Tarryall was founded in 1897 as Puma City in SE Park County, and later became the Tarryall presently shown on maps.  When I get the time, I will split off the 1859 Tarryall into a separate article: Tarryall, Colorado (ghost town).  Plazak (talk) 13:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Category talk:Maps of the history of the Middle East

message: Commons media are for the use of all wikipedia sites worldwide. The English wikipedia pages for those commons media list the English wikipedia pages on which those commons media are used.
The commons page for a particular image does not list the English wikipedia pages on which that image is being used.
There are images in English wikipedia categories that would not be accepted in the commons. Gif images, fair use images, etc.. So the link to the commons category allows for more public-domain images to be used in English wikipedia pages.
The existence of the English wikipedia category allows for links to be made to the commons category of the same name. So English wikipedia editors then know of the additional commons media available to them. Those images are sometimes better, as explained previously. Oftentimes there is a larger selection of images at the commons.
The existence of the English wikipedia category also allows a logical location for links to the English wikipedia subcategories.
Not all commons images are suitable for placement in English wikipedia categories. Images captioned in other languages for example.
As many others have done I put some of the English-language commons images in the English wikipedia categories. This saves editors time in finding images. Because they don't have to click many commons images to open them up and see what language is used on the image.--Timeshifter 07:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Gillian Cross

message: The CCSU list includes Medal (1936-2005), Highly Commended (1966-2002), and Commended (1955-2002).

https://variety.com/2021/film/global/giuseppe-rotunno-dead-1234903063/
This is contradicted, though, by this obituary from Corriere Della Sera. It states that Rotunno died "ieri" which means "yesterday", and since the article was written on Sunday that would indicate that Rotunno died already on Saturday:
