thread_title:  Duplication with Trident 

message: For example Trident or Trishula is the weapon of both Greek gods as well as Lord Shiv, from Hindu mythology.
The origin of Shiv in India at least is over 3000 years old. Greek mythology seems to be similarly dated. 
Other weapons too like Bows, Maces, Swords, Chariots have been in Indian, Chinese and Mediterranean cultures since antiquity.

thread_title:  Missing a plot summary 

message: The Secret Middle Ages () by Malcolm Jones discusses the origin of the phrase "God Speed the Plow" in a celebration known as Plow Monday and a 14th-century poem:
:God spede the plow
:And send us all corne enow
:Our purpose for to mak
:At crow of cok
:Of the plwlete of Sygate
:Be mery and glade
:Wat Goodale this work mad
=
:God speed the plough
:And send us all corn enough
:(Our purpose) for us to make
:At crow of cock
:Of the plough light of Sygate
:Be merry and glad
:What good ale this work made.
At crow of cock: dawn, every morning the ploughmen have a drink before work
plough light of Sygate, the ploughmen gather for a drink in the evening on Twelfth Night
pun:
(1) Goodale is someone's name and "this work" would be some work he did (2) Good ale is the ale made from the corn. QuentinUK (talk) 16:05, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Systems architecture

message: OK, so what sense of object should we be comfortable with?  Are we referring to the philosophical sense of object (philosophy)?  Are we just using the word for itself such that it should not be linked?  I'm pretty sure that this does not refer to all the meanings on the dismbiguation page.  My proposal at the moment is to remove the link entirely, and let it be just a regular word. Dpv 20:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems like a reasonable proposal. My reading of the sentence in question is that it is referring to hardware as well as software, which certainly makes a software-only interpretation nonsensical. I will make the change now. --Allan McInnes (talk) 21:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Carlos do Amaral Freire

message: The source for data about Carlos do Amaral Freire seems to be mostly one single interview which has been published on several web sites in different forms. Additional information from other sources would be good.
The author of the article got some things wrong from the interview. He hasn't forgotten them. All hyperpolyglots get rusty in a portion of their languages, that's a universal feature. He said that if he studied them for a couple of days, they would come back. They also aren't fluent in all of them, Mezzofanti had total command over only 60 of the 114 he knew.
201.17.85.187 17:25, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  He used the word "forgotten" himself: "Janer -Quantas línguas já esqueceste? Carlos -É uma boa pergunta... Já esqueci muitas, ou melhor, muitas das línguas que estudei estão bastante desativadas. Contudo, com um pouco de esforço elas poderão ser reativadas novamente." "Já esqueci muitas" means "I have forgotten many of them". If you feel it needs to be mentioned, you can add that he also claims that he thinks that he easily could reactivate them. However, it is still only his own claims. I'd like to see some more third party validation of his knowledge. Mlewan 17:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I have altered the reference via Crowley attributing the Holy Guardian Angel to the Golden Dawn.  Instead, it came to him via a grimoire translated by MacGregor Mathers, The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage. Mathers was Crowley's sponsor and superior in the Golden Dawn, and Crowley did undertake the Abramelin working during his years in the order, but the term used within the Golden Dawn system for the same general principle was the "Higher Genius". 74.83.14.59 (talk) 05:16, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Body of light was a redirect to subtle body; I've changed that to point to Astral body; The former is Indic in origin while the body of light stems from a different tradition, this one. Also, hiding under the redirect is an old version of Body of light. I propose that we resurrect the old body of light, though it seriously needs rewriting and citation, merge Augoeides and Astral body into it (not including the Theosophical stuff, already in subtle body), then redirect astral body to subtle body.

thread_title: HBO

message: I'm disappointed that the article does not address the extancy of episodes of the show, or anything relating to home video releases or lack thereof. A respondent to a recent question on Quora alleges that at one point Skelton had ordered the destruction of all recordings of the show; in defiance of said order, the network retained a couple hundred of them for posterity, and that in any case, Skelton had a reputation for making such requests facetiously and no one was sure whether to take this one seriously. This is in any case one Quora user's account that is unlikely to qualify as a reliable source, but if someone knows of any reliable sources that address the extancy of the original recordings of the show or their availability in home media, could you please add it to the article?

thread_title:  Expanded and sourced 

message: The article currently claims that the series entered the public domain due to lack of renewal. However, materials originally published in the US after 1964 never needed renewal; see this guide. As such, this unsourced claim is dubious, and I'm flagging it as such. --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:33, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Category talk:Cthulhu Mythos

message: This seems like as good a place as any to discuss the direction of the Cthulhu Mythos articles as a whole.  I think they are a good example of the problem identified in Wikipedia:Writing about fiction as "in-universe perspective".  That is, despite the fact that they generally include the word "fictional" somewhere near the top, they're generally written as though the imaginary universe they discuss is a real place rather than a fictional creation.  You've got a lot of articles that include a mishmash of information on persons, places and (elder) things with no indication of which authors or stories provided particular bits of information, often with considerable speculation to bridge the gap between various fictions.
I've been trying to replace such material with info based on quotation from and citation of original texts. (One of the problems with the Cthulhu Mythos articles is their reliance on the Encyclopedia Cthulhiana--written from an in-universe perspective, and hence fairly useless--as a secondary source.) I've also been trying to reorganize material to put more emphasis on authors and stories--moving characters from the omnibus Cthulhu Mythos biographies (note: should be "characters") into individual story articles, and regrouping  minor Mythos entities from articles based on problematic theological distinctions (e.g. Great Old One compendium) into articles based on creators (e.g. Ramsey Campbell deities).
One issue related, I think, to the in-universe perspective is the reference system that many of the Cthulhu Mythos articles use--the Cthulhu Mythos reference codes and bibliography.  It's a system of two-letter codes that follows a block of information, indicating which stories contain references to a particular character, tome, etc.  While a pretty impressive display of wikicraft, it's really singularly unhelpful--instead of telling you at a glance which stories provided what information, as a normal reference would, it forces you to go to another page to look up each cite, and still leaves you guessing as to what comes from where. The intended goal is apparently to save space, which is not really a major consideration on WP. It has the unfortunate side-effect of making the fact that the Mythos beasties are made-up as non-obvious as possible.
"The Call of Cthulhu" article is probably my most successful attempt at what I'm aiming for.  De Vermis Mysteriis is another fairly good example, though it lacks citation. Severn Valley may have gone a little overboard in providing detail. The first half of the current version of Cthulhu is a stab at replacing a heavily in-universe perspective with an out-of-universe one.
Randolph Carter needed a Silver Key to get out of his universe so he could have some perspective on it--we just need our battered editions of Lovecraft and a willingness to cite them. Nareek 11:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Fictional books within the Cthulhu Mythos

message: To match the other :Category:Cthulhu Mythos subcategories, this ought to start with "Cthulhu Mythos".  I'm thinking :Category:Cthulhu Mythos fictional books might be confusing, since it's too much like "fiction books".  I like :Category:Cthulhu Mythos tomes, though it's been suggested that that might be perplexing to outsiders.  Any thoughts? Nareek 18:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I watched this program as a young teenager.  As I recall, Nanette Fabray was NOT a regular on "Your Show of Shows."  Instead, she replaced comedienne Imogene Coca on the "Sid Caesar Hour," a successor program.  (According to IMDb, she was on two episodes of Show of Shows.)  Coca split to star in her own series, which did not have the success of the Caesar show. 
In addition to the Hamilton Trio, another regular on the variety show was Metropolitan Opera baritone Robert Merrill, and also the Billy Williams Quartet.
Also, shouldn't the show be categorized as a "variety program featuring comic sketches," rather than a "sketch comedy television series?"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Btm1 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
