Talk:Television in Quebec

message: OK, my main contention is the first paragraph which overstates the role and influence of teleromans in Quebec culture, and grossly exaggerates how many people watch or care about them. The rest, especially the last paragraph with its dubious reference and comparison to advertising from France, is just badly written.--Boffob 18:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disputed 

message: I have two issues with the paragraph comparing television in Quebec and France. Here is the entire paragraph:
Although broadcast in French, la télévision québécoise has little relationship to its gallic cousin; it's decidedly North American in its approach: a 30-minute programming grid, commercials, local stations, along with the distinction between broadcast television formed around networks of stations—which is freely available to anyone with a TV within their broadcast area—and cable television channels—which requires a subscription to receive.
And here are my issues:
1.) The mention of commercials as a key difference between TV in Quebec and its French counterpart implies that there are no commercials on French TV. While it's true that French public TV no longer airs commercials in prime time, most French TV stations do air commercials, albeit subject to pan-European restrictions on the number of breaks per hour. In other words, the presence of commercials alone cannot be an example of Quebec TV being different from French TV. The number of commercial breaks, on the other hand, is a different story, but if this is what was meant here, it needs to be spelled out more clearly.
2.) The distinction between over-the-air TV services and pay-TV services (i.e. channels that require a subscription to receive) exists in France as well. The only difference is that cable is considerably more widespread in Quebec, whereas DBS (satellite) is more popular in France (see CanalSat). Still, France also has a number of cable operators. --WorldWide Update (talk) 21:25, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Miss Delaware

message: The age problem is because, although she will still be 24 during the time of the Miss America pageant, she will turn 25 on Oct. 22, after that pageant but before the end of the  year.  She is denying trying to deceive anyone regarding age, because the birthdate information for her was always available.  An attorney has been contacted, and Delaware pageant officials are taking questions only about the replacement Miss Delaware.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 13:49, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: A link to the actual contract for the 2014 competition would be helpful. The Miss America website just states the contestants must be "17 to 24" without specifying exactly when those limits are applied. Does it clearly state that the winner may not turn 25 before Jan 1 2015? A previous Miss America, Heather French Henry, turned 25 before Dec 31 1999, the year she was crowned, so presumably this is a development since then.  Edison (talk) 17:03, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

message: "Her main themes in ‘Toddler Hunting’: an obsession with young boys, a hatred of girls, a tendency towards sadomasochism. Eroticism can be seen as a central motif in her works. Nevertheless, her protagonists' affinity for sadomasochism may not be an end in of itself; it is one method her female protagonists use to express their desire for self-negation over procreation (see the works of Julia Kristeva, particularly Powers of Horror for information on this phenomenon). Her most recent works tend to be more understated, perhaps due to her age, perhaps feeling less of a need to shock and more a desire to explain the theme of humanity from a woman's perspective, which has remained throughout all of her works to this day."

Talk:Parthian language

message: This article states that Parthian language, known as Pahlawānīg, is extinct. It also states that it was a North-Western Iranian language.
Kurdish is also a North-Western Iranian language, and, in fact, there is a Kurdish dialect known as Pehlewanî (Southern-Kurdish) that is still very much alive and spoken by more than 3 million Kurds in Iran and Iraq (but mainly in Iran, in the Kermanshah and Ilam provinces). This is also a region where many Parthian (Pahlawānīg) inscriptions are located (have been found, archeological sites).
While this is not much of an academic research, there are obvious links that no one can deny. To claim that the language is extinct, is, based on the facts presented above, not a logical conclusion.
The original version is obviously no longer in use, but languages evolve over time. Old Parthian (Pahlawnig) became modern-day Kurdish language of Pehlewani.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.82.163.173 (talk) 17:17, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
