Talk:Paul Terry (cartoonist)

message: "Terrytoon Comics went on to become Marvel Comics" is entirely wrong.
The article cites an entry in "Toonpedia" that says "That same year, Heckle & Jeckle began appearing in Terrytoons Comics, which at that time was published by the company that would later become Marvel." This does not support the article's statement that Terrytoons Comics became Marvel Comics. "Terrytoons Comics" was a single comic book title at the time, not a publishing company. As I understand Marvel's history, the reference indicates that "Terrytoons Comics" was published by Timely Comics, the 40s-era publisher of the title "Marvel Comics." Timely later adopted "Marvel" as the company name.
The cover of "Terrytooons #1" does not even have a recognizable Paul Terry character. See Terrytoons One.Timely apparently had to negotiate licensing terms for the use of each character -- see Terrytoons 38, introducing Mighty Mouse. 
I am deleting the only reference to Terrytoons Comics. I don't believe Terry ever did have a publishing arm, but I'm not prepared to write the section needed about Paul Terry's considerable influence on the comic book industry.
In 1960, Dell Comics published the title "New Terrytoons featuring Deputy Dawg." To my recollection, Dell also published the "Heckle & Jekyl" (sp?) and "Mighty Mouse" titles in the 50s, and I believe both titles later were published by Gold Key (60s-70s).
While Terry's characters headlined their own titles, sold many "funny animal" and "funny animal superhero" comics, and wielded considerable influence over the juvenile-targeted comics industry in the 1950s, it seems that Terry never had sufficient interest in comic book publishing to leverage his properties into a publishing company. That's a shame, as his characters were highly influential moneymakers. 
I'm supplying these notes for anyone who might want to do the additional research required to add a proper section on Terry's considerable influence on the comics industry, which in my opinion was more artistic than financial.
 
The preceding cover scans are my own, which can be used under fair use rationale, if anyone cares to jump through all 10 wiki-hoops related to fair use images. I have no idea what the actual copyright status of these images may be. Since these are external links, referenced here for purpose of discussion, I am not offering a 'fair use' rationale here as I would for inline use.

replies: text: I concur—in the same manner that certain individuals are known exclusively by their compound names and would be virtually unrecognizable if referenced in any other  manner (John Stuart Mill—not John S. Mill, John Maynard Keynes—not John M. Keynes, John Kenneth Galbraith—not John K. Galbraith), Arthur Q. Bryan was/is known to the public exclusively by that name and not as Arthur Quirk Bryan.  As supporting examples in the same field, one can point to Edward G. Robinson (who was never known to the public as Edward Goldenberg Robinson), Leo G. Carroll (who was never known to the public as Leo Gratten Carroll) and, even more extreme, E. G. Marshall (who was never known to the public as Everett (Eugene) Grunz Marshall).

Talk:Jihadi international

message: The article currently states that the word "Jihadi" is incorrect because the "-i" ending properly refers to a person's place of origin. But that doesn't seem to be the case with words like "Sunni" or "Salafi" or "Wahhabi," none of which is derived from the name of a place. Even "Saudi," which is often used nowadays as a designation of nationality, originally meant "Of or relating to the Saud family," as I understand it. Can anyone clarify this? 65.213.77.129 (talk) 20:26, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article on Sunni Islam suggests a more accurate transliteration than "sunni" would be sunnah. Ditto salaf for salafi, wahhābīyya‎ for wahhabi, and as-Suʻūdiyya for the "Saudi" in Saudi Arabia. The "i"s may have gotten into Arabic-to-English transliteration largely to make the words more "English-y" and easier to pronounce by English speakers. 88.112.56.9 (talk) 11:52, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: no. the nisba suffix just forms adjectives. "Jihadi" is simply the adjective of "jihad", i.e. "jihadist". But "someone fighting in a jihad" is formed from a separate stem, viz. mujahid. --dab (𒁳) 19:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Nemadji River

message: The duluthstreams.org website (cited in the article) calls the two principal forks the North Fork and the South Fork, and gives the stream length at 20 miles.  The Thos. Waters book (also now cited) does not use the term North Fork, it is instead the Nemadji River itself.  (There is also a Nemadji Creek, even further north and west.)  The river's length from its source is stated as 65 miles.  The USGS maps also do not use North Fork, but simply call the river originating in Maheu Lake the Nemadji River.  (The MnDOT map of Carlton County however uses North Fork.)  I have edited the article to conform to the USGS usage but local usage may be different.  Kablammo 15:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  dolphins or barracuda? 

message: The article mirrors the Maltese government Web site in stating that the coat of arms depicts the flag.  There is some merit to this view, since the wording implies that the Maltese constitution specifies the flag, while the arms are ordained by a regular act of the parliament.
Historically, the influence is the other way round, and the page should probably reflect this.  Even before the George Cross was added, the white-and-red arms were the main symbol of the government.
Before 1964, all references showed the conventional badge-on-ensign design for the Maltese flag.    The  (Flag of Gibraltar) page illustrates what I am talking about.  Given that Malta and Gibraltar had similar status before 1964, this page should probably contain something similar for pre-1964. Monomoit (talk) 22:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Dobson (Litigation guardian of) v Dobson

message: The facts of this case are bound to strike Wikipedia readers as quite odd: it appears that the mother must be extremely wealthy (to be worth suing at all, and also to able to afford the legal fees of bringing a case to the SCC), but refusing to provide for her disabled son. Almost certainly what is really going on is that the action was brought in order to recover from the mother's liability insurance. The "mother's lawyers" would actually have been lawyers for her insurance company, and the mother, although technically the defendant in the case, would have been rooting for the plaintiff to win, not herself. Of course the Court's reasons need to maintain the fiction that it is an action against the mother and she will be personally liable to pay the judgment if she loses. But for purposes of the Wikipedia article, it's doing the readers a disservice not to mention the real facts of the case, in order to put it in context. I know it probably seems like mere speculation on my part, but it almost has to be true because it's the only thing that makes sense. (Because if it were actually true that the mother had a lot of money but was refusing to spend it on her child's needs, it would be much easier to make the claim against her pursuant to family maintenance legislation. In every province and territory, the parent has a duty to provide financially for the children -- there would be no need to make a speculative claim in negligence for the auto accident.) Do you object to my working that into the article? --Mathew5000 00:57, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  The original Latin names of many ancient places - in Australia 

message: Places did not and do not have a praenomen or cognomen; that is only for people. Whether the Augustus goes before or after is an accident of naming the place. For example, if it was named after the tribe, the tribal name by convention was in the genitive case placed after the Augustus. No one was ever named "Augustus of the Suessiones." Naturally there are one or two cases of places given the name of a person, which did have an agnomen (a lot of these "cognomina" are agnomina). They are few and far between here and if more were put in, such as Caesar Augustus, they would have to take their own disambig page. Moreover, this misapplication of the Roman personal naming scheme is very confusing to the public. I find it confusing. This is actually original research; no one else organizes place names by praenomina, cognomina, etc. Very clever but totally confusing and original, so I am reorganizing to the usual people and places.Dave (talk) 10:53, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
