thread_title: Removed Trivia

message: The romantic subplot is virtually identical to that of the Mozart/da Ponte opera Cosi fan tutte.

WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 17:24, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest, I plan to eventually remove all items from the cultural references section that don't cite a secondary source so if you don't add a citation this will probably be removed eventually. For an idea of what is acceptable as a citation have a look at "Hell Is Other Robots" and "Space Pilot 3000". You can add it if you want to and cultural references is probably where it belongs, if anywhere, but if it is unsourced then don't be surprised if it removed (see WP:V, WP:RS and WP:NOR for more info on citing appropriate sources).

text: I added it, with a cross-reference to the Wikipedia article on Così fan tutte. The problem (if there is one) is that this reference falls into a area of factual common knowledge -- at least among opera listeners. It is hardly obscure, and there is nothing remotely controversial about it, any more than 2 + 2 = 4. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 02:13, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Argent

message: This sentence is unclear: 
:"The result is a false impression that the rule of tincture has been violated in cases where argent, applied next to a dark colour, now appears to be sable next to a dark colour from tarnishing."
I am not a specialist in Heraldry, or in color-study. However, I think the meaning would be clearer if it read this way instead:
:"This leaves a false impression that the rule of tincture has been violated in cases where when applied next to a dark colour, argent now appears to be sable due to tarnish."

* the page does not give sources for this purported grant, and the only source Google finds is this page on Wikipedia itself
* the grant is from an English herald to a primary school in Glasgow(!)
So I think we should remove the whole section. Thoughts? Marnanel 10:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge of [[Potent]] into [[Vair]] 

message: "The species involved has never been accurately identified."
I doubt that. The German term is Feh, which refers to the Red Squirrel of Eurasia - specifically to the hypermelanistic "grey" or "black" morph. This is more common in mountaineous areas, which in the Middle Ages were sparsely settled, making Feh pelts rather rare in trade with demand much exceeding supply.
That this is the species in question can be deduced by simple exclusion. Medieval heralds from Europe had no reliable access to any kind of squirrel fur in colors coming even reasonably close - except Feh. The etymology ios another hint.
The painting to the right is very good match of the original "vair" colors - dark blue-grey and white. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 21:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Then you should be able to provide citable references identifying the species?  That would be great if you can provide such references.  A quote would be ideal, because many heraldic references are vague, and often deliberately so. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Similarly, the Swedish term gråverk, while certainly an existing term, hardly seems relevant on this page—especially as it currently states that it is ‘analogous’.

Talk:Australian pied cormorant

message: The species, Phalacrocorax varius is endemic to both Australia and New Zealand, thus I think it would be more appropriate for the common name to be either the Pied Shag (as it is known in New Zealand) or Pied Cormorant (as it more commonly known in Australia.) The name Australian pied cormorant is, I think, a misnomer for the New Zealand bird, also known by its Maori name Kahuriruhi; furthermore, Australian pied cormorant is not widely used in the Australian texts that I have access to, all refer to the Pied cormorant, and to a lesser extent the Yellow-faced cormorant, with brief mention of the 'Black and white shag, and Diver,' in Pizzey (1980) p 51.
The 'Annotated checklist of the birds of New Zealand'  (1970) p 32, no. 80. lists the species name as Phalacrocorax varius (Gmelin, 1789) and P. varius varius (Gmelin, 1789) Pied Shag (Kahuriruhi) Family Phalacrocoracidae : Shags (Cormorants)
