message: * I reverted the page to remove the second image of cheerleaders with poms. I personally had difficulty identifying the poms themselves initially. Adding to that, it made the page a little unbearable (two large images in sequence and the large blank space beside it), and since the image is used (and much more effectively) on two other pages, I felt it was unnecessary to add it here also. Maybe I'm being bold, but I don't think it's that much so. Thanks for the understanding, and please don't be discouraged to contribute to the article in other ways, especially in text and references!

Talk:Charles Williams (composer)

message: I notice that the article spells Williams's first name (at birth) as "Isaac", but the box of summary details gives this as "Issac". I feel almost sure the latter is a simple typing error; yet I  cannot be sure. Occasionally a name is spelled differently from usual. I don't know of anywhere to check this.
I'm just noting it here so that it may attract the attention of someone who knows.

Talk:Castel dell'Ovo

message: Good article.  I made some changes to the section on Romulus Augustus, primarily because the story of his receiving a pension after the abdication comes from one ancient source that is contradicted by at least two others.  His fate after the abdication is unclear; Gibbon thought he was dead by the time the monastery was set up, and the letters by Cassiodorus to "Romulus" in 507 do not say Romulus was the same person as the last emperor.  My gut feeling is that Romulus was sent as a prisoner to a fortified castle, but the history is too ambiguous to make a conclusion.--Idols of Mud 16:25, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Heidrek

message: If anyone is interested in the etymology of Heidrik, it's like many other early Germanic royal names. Heid (Ger.Heide, Eng.Heathen) + reik (Ger.Reich, "king"), thus "King of the Heathens".
I disagree. The etymology is probabluy heiðr (cf Swed. heder) (= honour) + reikr (king). "Heathen" is a term which is given upon people from the outside, not something you would call your child. If you're Christian you wouldn't want your child to be a heathen, and if you're a heathen, "heathen" wouldn't mean anything. I will remove this etymology piece now, and insert a part from the Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks article instead. Wahlin (talk) 22:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there disagreement on what advice Heidrek actually gets?
By Albert Ulrik Bååths swedish translation, the advice is as follows (my translation back into English). I have set significant differences in bold:
1) Never help the man who has slain his true master.
2) Never give peace to a man who has murdered his friend.
3) Do not allow your wife frequent visits with her kin.
4) Do not stay with your mistress late at night.
5) If you're in a hurry, never ride your best horse.
6) Never teach/raise a more powerful man's children.
7) Be friendly to your guests. (Don't break your own peace)
and (perhaps most significantly)
8) Do not put Tyrving at your feet.

message: This article should make it obvious that it (mostly) applies to covalently bonded crystalline solids. (Though non-crystalline covalent solids also have band structure.)

Talk:Richard Bassett (Delaware politician)

message: In which Congress would Bassett have been considered "Pro-Administation" and in which was he "Anti-Administration."  I know that there is no formal distinction because there were no formal parties.  Nevertheless, I'm having trouble categorizing him in these articles: 1st United States Congress, 2nd United States Congress, United States Senate elections, 1788, United States Senate elections, 1790.   Please reply here, and I will adjust those articles accordingly.—Markles  17:12, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bassett's "Party" 

message: This in reference to this statement, "He holds the overall seniority position of #1 in the history of the United States Senate." This seems like a strange and refutable detail. Is it not better to say he served in the First Congress than to say he is alphabetically first in the First Congress (which is what I take this statement to mean and is just odd trivia than anything really substantive for the encyclopedia). --Engineerchange (talk) 15:31, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Jonathan McCully

message: In reading this article, I am confused about whether McCully was or was not a supporter of Confederation before the Charlottetown conferences.  In the first paragraph it starts out saying he promoted Confederation through his newspaper editorials.  It later repeats that and then says that he eased off in his promotion after 1866.  Then towards the end it says, "After one of the other delegates withdrew Charles Tupper picked McCully as a replacement. Although Jonathan McCully was not previously a strong supporter of union he was converted at the Charlottetown meeting."  Perhaps this results from different editors adding or deleting content but either something is missing or part of it is just plain wrong.   . . . . looking for the right template to add.

Talk:Nathaniel Mitchell

message: This page seems to have been victim to repeated vandalism in the past (god knows why) we need sources on most of the early life section, everything else seems OK, haven't checked that throughly, the whole "graveney school of croquet" isn't listed in any source, and i'm pretty sure croquet wasn't invented/played/taught in nineteeth century America. 
I'm not a wikipedia user, im just doing a school project on Delaware goveners, i know this is a small article but if anyone has it on their watchlist, we need some serious back editing on this, no idea how much has been changed.

Talk:The Honeymoon Machine

message: For those readers like me who care about knowing if a movie is faithful or not to a story, a culture or a place I would like to inform you this movie is sort of a joke. It's a distorted portrayal of Venetian/Italian language and music (most of it in the first half).
1. Around minute 10 Fergie says "gondòla" which is an Italian word with an obvious meaning. It is also obvious that it should be pronounced "gòndola" since the accent falls on the first o and never on the second, a universally infamously and popular error in pronunciation of Italian words (one of many).
2. Fergie also says "grassi" instead of "grazie" in several occasions. Literally, he says "fat" instead of "thank you". Obviously, the pronunciation is horrendously warped. Instead of pronouncing gratz-ie he says gras-si.
3. Around minute 10 one of the hotel attendants, before leaving, says "milli grassi" which, again, is not something any Italian would ever say. The correct expression is "mille grazie" which is pronounced "mil-le gratz-ie".
4. Around minute 26 a mandolin-based theme plays which, from a cultural and geographical standpoint, is misleading and inappropriate. Mandolins are typical instruments of areas or Italy like Sicily. Mandolins have little or no place in Venetian music.
5. Around minute 30 one of Fergie's buddies enters the room with a box and drops it. The sound is out of synch with the actual drop of the glasses that are presumably inside the box, something I find ridiculous from a standpoint of audio mixing (very poorly done). On top of that, Fergie's buddy says "It was the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria", a clear reference to the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa María the Caravels Christopher Columbus led to the Island of Hispaniola for the Kingdom of Castile in the early 1490s, a reference that has nothing to do with the glorious and completely distinct history of the Republic of Venice (697-1797). There is probably no correlation and if there is the caravels don't make any sense in the story.
