Talk:Lovely Idol

message: I wasn't sure what to call the "illustrated short stories" in Magi-Cu, because they're not really what you'd think of as a "light novel".  The illustrations are in just as much prominence as the text, and they're not serialized in novel format (it's more like an artbook than anything else).  So using the "light novel" infobox is probably inaccurate, but I don't have another suggestion.  That's why I went with "illustrated short stories" in the text, for lack of an official term. Relentlessflame 07:38, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, fair enough. I thought it seemed to be much like a light novel, but if you believe that these "illustrated short stories" do not fall under the same category as a light novel, then so be it.--(十八|talk) 07:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Light novel?

message: Since this is the English Wikipedia we are edited, I don't think it is necessary or even viable to our native language to list the title as it appears in the infobox using the hiragana at the beginning. Anime News Network lists the title as "Lovedol ~Lovely Idol~" and I believe this is the way we should also present it in the article. Also, if the title does not change from the main title used for the top of the infobox, there is no need to list it again.
Additionally, should the らぶドル in the title be seen as a Japanese portmanteau on the words "Lovely Idol"? I don't know why I never realized this before, but I believe this is the case, and should probably be noted in the article.--(十八|talk) 07:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're right about the portmanteau (in addition, the "doru" from "aidoru" has the convenient side-effect of sounding like "doll", which makes sense given the content).  Also agree about using Lovedol in the article instead; sounds good to me.  Thanks for bearing with my lack of experience. Relentlessflame 08:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Japanese words in English Wikipedia 

message: I see that the links section contains a link to Navel, and they apparently would have a section for Lovely Idol, but the link gives an access denied page, and the site related "button" does nothing.
Apart from this, Navel isn't mentioned in the article itself, so I wonder what Navel has to do with Lovely Idol. Sure, the character designs are Navel-ish, but the game was made by PrincessSoft, right? At least for the PS2. Now then, by any chance, Navel made a 18+ version for PC, or what? The article really needs some clarification. :/ --Rev L. Snowfox (talk) 09:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: True, he too was a civil servant. But after serving for several years, he was fed up with the system and wrote two books which were banished, and he himself was convicted for treason. He fled to a temple, which was burned down, so he moved between friends til finally caught and sentenced to prison, were he hanged himself. (As far as I can remember. I'll expand the part about him later, when I have the time to look for my old textbooks on Confucian history.) Yenx 14:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Karl Carstens

message: The article states "Carstens joined the NSDAP in 1940, reportedly to avoid detrimental treatment when he was a law clerk. Carstens had, however, joined the SA, the Nazi paramilitary organisation, already in 1933". My question is could you just be a "hanger on" of the SA, and not be a member of the SA? Didn't you have to belong to the Nazi party first? Dr. Dan (talk) 21:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The SA was a body "of use" to the NSDAP. The NSDAP was the offical political party of Nazis. The NSDAP wasn't that much popular in the german volk as it was serveral years later, when the NSDAP gained total power in german politics. Carstens followed the spirit of that time that you have to serve first if you want something from the state (typical far right and sometimes left-opinion) and to be able to study with a bright future a head he had to join a "Kameradschaft", a body of the SA, to get influence as a future lawyer. Maybe not as a Nazi but under the Nazi obligations. It seems today that he wasn't a crystal clear Nazi. But he wasnt forced to study in Frankfurt Main and also to join the SA there. He could have studied elsewhere. He already knew about the raising influence of the Nazis when he was in his first year of studies, when Ernst Krieck, a nazi, gained the effective chair of the university. There was a reason for Carstens to study under the Nazi rulership even when it wasn't the ideology or polictial behaviour. So, i wouldn't say he was not just a "hanger on" guy. He may tried to use the SA and NSDAP for his own purpose. That make him not less to be blamed! And to answer your question directly, no you didn't had to join the political arm of the Nazi in this time but you had shown your yourself to the new ruler as a loyal and formidable citizen to make a flawless future in germany at this time. Later on, he was forced to join the NSDAP, because that was an obligation to get excess to the final exam and to become a lawyer (in 1937). The NSDAP forced membership was formed at this time as the political sphere changed to a dictatorship and war raised (not just in germany but in polen for example too, see polish politics and the expulsion of miniorties there and elsewhere [germans and ukrainiens and others in poland for example] before the war with germany started!) 2A02:810A:8A80:4CD8:4574:B0FA:E8B1:CBB6 (talk) 11:44, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Academics (Acedemics) should be one or two sentences as should the clubs, etc. In my opinion, the school is marginally notable and the article should at least bt tight and short.

message: I waited for a time to see if someone was coming back to work on this piece. Then I did a serious chop. Athletics had been done previously by myself. I condensed the other three sections into one short one. Reasoning: everyone teaches the same general array of courses with variations by school. Ditto for clubs and publications. I took out the administration; it is basic and changes. The community profile is blue linked for those interested so I removed it from this article. Someone should edit this article from beginning to end. It is about an academic institution and the writing should reflect that fact.

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: I have just removed this recent addition:
... "aren't I?" is, strictly speaking, incorrect. One does not say, "I are." Arguments have even been advanced for "ain't I?" (used in other dialects) as prefereable to "aren't I?" "Amn't I?" although odd-sounding to most English speakers, is in fact the only grammatical alternative to the more formal "Am I not?" and for this reason should perhaps be encouraged more widely.
– because it seems to me an expression of opinion, and therefore a breach of the neutral point of view policy. FWIW, here is my POV on the matter: Even allowing that "I are" is incorrect, it does not follow that "aren't I" is also wrong. Language doeesn't work like that! Snalwibma 19:38, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Northampton loop

message: From the article:
When in 1834 the route of the main line was being decided, Northampton objected[1] to having a railway station. This meant that the Kilsby Tunnel had to be built to bypass Northampton
According to my book Rugby's Railway Heritage the London and Birmingham Railway wasn't built through Northampton because the gradients were too steep. G-Man * 22:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's credible too, but clearly (since the loop line manages the climb), it needs support. The "Northampton didn't want it" story has wide currency, but the citation I found is someone's personal website and doesn't cite its source.  Yet another version I heard was that Northampton was too far off the direct line and it would be easier to pop a little tunnel under Kilsby, same as at Linslade.  We really need a primary source - without it, I don't think we can say anything.  Do you want to change it for now to something like "a variety of reasons for this have been proposed and contemporary evidence is needed to provide a definitative explanation"? --Concrete Cowboy 17:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I believe that the early locomotives of the 1830s weren't powerful enough to cope with anything but the slightest gradients. By the 1870s however locomotives had become a lot more powerful. To be more specific my book states: Northampton had been exceptionally unlucky as far as railway connections were concerned. The London & Birmingham could not, with gradients that had been set for the main line, pass via the town

message: The coup is described as a legal take-over that "followed essentially constitutional forms". Is this really true?
Perhaps the Article 122 gave the National Assembly authority to withdraw confidence in the president, but from there to Lon-Nol & co's take-over there are several steps. 
* Was Lon-nol & co elected? 
* Was the Khmer Republic really a legal government for Cambodia?

replies: text: I am also confused by what happened and how its described. WP defines a coup as "overthrow of an existing government; typically, this refers to an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a dictator, the military, or a political faction", here it seems that constitutional steps were followed to withdraw confidence in Sihanouk and install Lon Nol, so that doesn't meet the definition.
