Talk:H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (2005 film)/Archive 1

message: ----
Hey, hope no one minds, but I scrapped an image on here. It wasn't exactly War Of The Worlds related... being a picture of some guy's exposed posterior end, if you catch my drift... don't know why though.

I did massive work on the article. I didn't put entirely a lot of focus on some of the controversy details and the criticism since I never fully followed those things, so they may need to be expanded, or even tweaked. --Bacteria 17:32, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Overlaps with H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds (2005 film), should be combined somehow.
:I keep seeing people try and redirect only to revert their mistake. The two articles are about two entirely different films. Yes, it's confusing that they share a nearly dead-on title, but it's not like this is the only time this has happened. A combination wouldn't work as the film's are too different (one's a period piece and the other a modern setting), and there would be no reason outside of the similar titles to combine articles on different films. --Bacteria 09:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I've never tried to revert a move, and I think I might have screwed up things a bit as the article's talk page now directs to here, but unforunately, in my several attempts, the history to this talk page has been left behind with the other.

thread_title:  What is corduroy? 

message: The opening paragraph should refer to both fustian and floats. Corduroy is a type of fustian, a stout cloth typified by the weaving of floats onto one side of the cloth. To make corduroy you weave cotton with a twill weave adding floats in the weft. The floats are then cut into ridges called wales, and brushed to form the characteristic pile. The opening paragraph as it stands gives the impression that the ridges are woven in.
Opening paragraph says, "...composed of twisted fibres that, when woven, lie parallel to one another to form the cloth's distinct pattern" The threads in ALL woven fabrics lie parallel to one another and this is neither distinctive of nor a feature of corduroy and neither does it "form" the distinct pattern.
The explanation of "wales" omits to mention that in woven fabrics, ridges or ribs that are woven in as opposed to dyed stripes are referred to as wales. This applies to all ridged or ribbed fabrics including those in twill weaves, not just corduroy. The "wale number" referred to in the article is simply the number of wales per inch; so using the incorrect terminology from the article we get 4-wale is 4 ribs to the inch and 18-wale is 18 ribs to the inch.
The paragraph starting, "Corduroy is made by weaving extra sets..." is wrong. The ridges are not woven in, they are formed from cut floats.87.112.84.94 (talk) 04:48, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge with [[sabot]]?

message: The Brandt ammunition wasn't a discarding sabot shot, as the sabot was retained after firing, the sabot merely being a lightweight collar making the heavy, small diameter, shot up to the full bore of the weapon, the lightweight collar allowing greater area for the propellant gases to impinge upon. Although increasing the muzzle velocity, this projectile had the drawback of increased aerodynamic drag while in flight which reduced the range and penetrating power, hence the British development of the discarding sabot round, where the collar broke-up and dropped away upon exiting the barrel, leaving the 'clean' projectile with greatly increased muzzle velocity and carrying-power (range).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.58.170 (talk) 23:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I'd like to see this article discuss U.S. and international laws regarding covering another band's music. According to this document:
Extensive legislation related to use of a band’s or musician’s image exists today. By contrast, a band needs to receive no permission to record a cover version of another band’s song. The cover band does have to pay a licensing fee but the band that produced the original version of the song cannot keep the cover band from recording their music.I found that interesting, as I assumed copyright law severely restricted the right to record or professionally perform another band's music. --JHP (talk) 21:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Guru Amar Das

message: The text below was removed as it is un-sourced and is not about the subject of the article. If it can be sourced and shown to be relevant it can be added back to the article.
*Before becoming a Sikh, Das (known as Bhai Amardas Ji) Hindu heard the hymns of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Sahib Ji Maharaj being sung by Bibi Amro Ji Ji, the daughter of Sri Guru Angad Dev Sahib Ji Maharaj, the second Sikh Guru Sahib. 
Bibi Amro Ji lived together with Bhai Sahib's brother. It so happened that Bhai Sahib was at his brother house when he heard the wonderful recitation of Gurbani by his niece-in-law. Bhai Sahib was so impressed and moved by these Shabads that he immediately decided to go to see Sri Guru Angad Dev Sahib Ji at Khadur Sahib. It is recorded that this event took place when Bhai Sahib was 61 years old.
Bhai Sahib also had a younger brother called Bhai Ishar Das who had a son called Bhai Gurdas Ji, who was a superb poet and scholar of comparative religion who would later go on become the scribe of the first edition of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. 
In 1635, upon meeting Guru Angad Dev Sahib Ji, Bhai Sahib was so touched by the Guru's message that he became a devout Sikh. Soon he became involved in Sewa (Service) to the Guru and the Community. Under the impact of the Sri Guru Angad Dev Sahib Ji and the teachings of the Gurus, Bhai Amardas Ji became a devout Sikh. He adopted Guru Ji as his spiritual guide (Guru). Bhai Sahib Ji began to live at Khadur Sahib. He used to rise early in the morning, bring water from the Beas River for Guru ji's bath, he would wash the Guru ji's clothes and fetch wood from the Jungle for 'Guru ka Langar'.  He was so dedicated to Sewa and the Guru and had completely extinguished pride and was totally lost in this commitment that he was considered an old man who had no interest in life, he was dubbed Amru, and generally forsaken. 
However, as a result of Bhai Sahib's commitment to Sikhi principles, dedicated service and devotion to the Sikh cause, Sri Guru Angad Dev Sahib Ji appointed Sri Guru Amar Das Sahib Ji as third Sri Guru Nanak Sahib in March 1552 at the age of 73. He established his headquarters at newly built town Goindwal Sahib, which Sri Guru Angad Dev Sahib Ji has established.--Kbob (talk) 17:05, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
