Talk:The Lark (play)

message: I have always wondered why Wikipedia insists against all logic to use this word for something that could be expanded or come alive. Now suddenly it became clear to me: it is stub, as in "Anouilh stubbed his toe". In Anouilh's view, the play does NOT cover the trial of Jeanne, as the article has it; it covers the staging of a play about this trial. It is NOT Cauchon who halts the proceedings; Beaudricourt does. The fire is NOT extinguished. Jeanne does NOT get a reprieve. The actual end of the story is NOT left in question. It is Charles, and NOT Cauchon, who, for his own reasons, proclaims it a sort of victory for Jeanne. Sad to say, Anouilh is wrong about every single point mentioned in "Plot and spoilers".--BZ(Bruno Zollinger) 08:32, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

For instance in paragraph 1:
 
Their father was known for hating French atheism so passionately that he would burn heaps of Voltaire's books, acquired specifically for the purpose[1]; his fatal disease was contracted while healing the wounded soldiers during the French invasion of Russia. The boy was just six at the time of his death; he was brought up by a maternal uncle, Vasily Zhukovsky, and the mother, M-me Avdotia Yelagina, an influential lady who held a brilliant salon in Moscow.

Talk:Mongolian wrestling

message: Hello-
I would like to suggest that the author refrain from using the term "Outer" when referring to the independent state of Mongolia. I realize that the author is trying to distinguish between wresting styles in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) vs Mongolia. However, the term "outer" may be considered offensive.
To wit, the Wikipedia article on "Outer Mongolia"
[The name 'Outer Mongolia' is felt by many to reflect a Sinocentric perspective that takes the northern part of Mongolia as "outer", while the southern portion, closer to the Chinese capital (Beijing), is regarded as "inner". ]

replies: text: Jailhouse Rock has been discussed often enough in written sources (mainly martial arts magazines) before the Times looked into it.  The term "Jailhouse Rock" appears to me to be used as an umbrella term for "martial arts developed mainly by African-Americans in prisons", just like "kung fu" is really an umbrella term for "Chinese martial arts".  It seems "52 blocks" refers to a particular style or family of styles within the larger "Jailhouse Rock" family, analogous to "Shaolin kung fu" referring to styles of hard kung fu.  The term "52 blocks" has gotten a lot of publicity through YouTube, but I don't know if that means we should move the article to that title.  Further research needs to be done regarding the relation of 52 blocks to Jailhouse Rock (as I said, it seems more like the relation of Shaolin to Kung fu).  --C S (talk) 02:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
