Talk:Waikīkī Aquarium

message: While it is important to recognize regional and cultural distinctions, it is not appropriate to use native Hawaiian spelling in this article. These are the reasons:
1) The Waikiki Aquarium itself does not use native spelling on its Web page.
2) Spelling doesn't match the Wiki article title.
3) Common English dictionaries do not include native spelling, even as an alternative.
4) Uncommon spellings may confuse readers.
5) Words and concepts from foreign cultures usually do not include diacritical marks from native languages. Were this to be done in every case, it would make article creation difficult, and legibility reduced to the point of not displaying on many readers' monitors correctly.
6) Words with diacritical marks do not necessarily conjugate according to the guidelines of either language. E.g., if Hawaii, then Hawaiian? Hawaiiesque? Hawaiinized?
7) Using native languages leads to politically charged confrontations about "ownership" of property and cultural legacies inappropriate to an encyclopedia.

message: Guys, I think that unless there's some sort of way to make the RP section more... encyclopedic, then I think it should be removed. There has to be some way to make it seem less like an advertisement for a bunch of different RP servers, and not like it was typed by a twelve year old. Plus, there's more there about RP than there is about the actual game. TSRP IS NOT TS, and therefore should only have a small mention. You shouldn't explain what DM is in TSRP, this isn't a TSRP article... it's a TS article. Cissel (talk) 09:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if this early list was chronological when copied and the source had the artworks listed by years. This list may be one of the art articles on Wikipedia which needs the most work and the most eyes on it, visual arts WikiProject, etc.. This list covers a most important and productive period in Picasso's life, and should be turned chronological, although I doubt I can help much in that although if lots of editors were working on it, and the chore looked long, I'd at least lend a hand on a few listings.

But I'm not a major article writer (just have done a few art pages) [Edit: BUT I DIGRESS:] and I wish art historians worldwide would get off their whatevers and start contributing to Wikipedia. If the Picasso experts alone would write just a page or two pages on many important artworks would be added.

message: The copy I have has 212 pages compared to 192 pages reported. I do not think my copy is a first edition, but normally the Hardy Boys books had a page with the current books available. Mine does not. And does not show any pages torn out. Therefore, I believe it is an earlier version. Since the books were reprinted often (especially the first 3 titles), the copper plates showed wear and tear on the text. My version is clear and tight with only a few smudged headers. As the newer versions were printed, the right and left edges of the text became more intelligible. The centers of the periods became hollowed out. My copy does not show these traits. Physically it has tan boards with a dark brown imprint. I do not have a dust jacket. This is an indicator that it is an earlier edition. So, I stand by the fact that there were 212 pages in the original book. To follow up with an expert, on page 211, the copy refers to the next volume in the series. As quoted: "What some of these happenings were will be related in the next volume, called, ‘The Hardy Boys: The Missing Chums.’ " Hopefully that will be a clue to the actual print date. ---- scottacombs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottacombs (talk • contribs) 02:42, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Cool Britannia

message: Ben&Jerry's claim that they invented the term, which, only weeks later was hijacked by politicians and the media. See: http://www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavor_graveyard/raise_flavor_countdown_CoolBritannia.cfm
"If Britain were an ice cream, what flavor would it be? Cream Victoria? Queen Yum Mum? Choc Ness Monster? How about Minty Python? Those names were floated in a contest we ran in Britain in 1996 to create the quintessential British ice cream flavor. The 7,500 entries offered a glimpse inside Britain’s collective mind.
Though there were “Grape Expectations” for “Rolling Scones,” Cool Britannia, a play on the popular British military anthem “Rule Britannia” was the crown jewel of the contest. Oddly enough, the winning name was submitted by an American, who also concocted the recipe: a royal medley of vanilla ice cream, English strawberries and chocolate-covered Scottish shortbread.
Britannia Rules the Flaves!
The highlight of 1996 for our UK team was the launch of their very own flavor, “Cool Britannia.” After much publicity, brought about by a private scooping for the press in the “Britannia Pub” and, of course, a spectacular launch on the 4th of July with Ben and Jerry at the Royal Albert Hall, the new flavour soared to the top of ice cream charts across the country.
The end of Cool Britannia
But within weeks after the launch, its name had been appropriated by media around the world - using it as a catchphrase to sum up what they saw as the ascendancy of British culture. It even entered the political arena, becoming associated with initiatives such as Panel 2000, the Government committee charged with finding 2000 products for the Millennium - despite the fact that the Prime Minister and his closest advisors resisted using the phrase explicitly.
Unfortunately, Cool Britannia was hijacked by politicians and cultural pundits and got caught up in a debate we weren’t comfortable with. All we wanted was another fun name for an ice cream, not a convoluted cultural observation. So the ice cream which gave its name to a perceived British cultural renaissance was withdrawn in 1998."
