Talk:Livia gens

message: Of Livy, I've changed the possibly misleading 'perhaps colored' to 'perhaps not impartial'. Not that there's any 'perhaps' - few ancient historians strove for or even recognized impartiality. Cenedi (talk) 16:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Livy vs. 'colored'

message: "Ab urbe condita", I think it doesn't really mean "because of the foundation"... I believe that it means " Since the foundation [of Rome]". "Ab" can't mean "because of", it's really a local-temporal preposition. The only problem in the translation could be in the participle, "condita", which can introduce someone to mistake. ( it's true that it concerts with "urbe", but the translation in this case isn't the same, it wouldn't have any sense translating: " Since the city founded". It would be ok too: " Since the city was founded")
Please, can someone check and fix it? I'm not an expert in this materia, but I think that the translation posted doesn't mean what it should.
Greetings

thread_title: Chairman Murder

message: It seems odd for most of the article to be taken up with past leadership. One does not see this generally in other articles and I question how interesting it is, particularly given that it is a student organisation with limited impact. It might be modelled on Board_of_Deputies_of_British_Jews but that is a more consequential body and the terms are longer. The material is unsourced. The article does not give a reason for its inclusion. Shall we drop it? Jontel (talk) 09:40, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have. I've also cut out some promotional stuff copied from its website. It's been tagged for more sources for 12 years and yet the only sources in it still are the union itself and a student newspaper about an incident this year which seems WP:UNDUE.

Talk:Andrew Sudduth

message: In 1985, there was no brighter new light shining in the sport of rowing.  Just 23 years old, Sudduth had an Olympic and 2 world championship medals under his belt.  That year, he won the Crash-B indoor rowing championships.  Sudduth then stroked the Harvard 8 to the Eastern Sprints Championship, the National Intercollegiate Rowing Championship, and the Grand Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta.
Sudduth then sat down in the single scull at the 1985 World Championships and raced two of the best scullers ever, Karppinen and Kolbe, who were still in their primes, to the finish line, beating Kolbe and narrowly losing to Karppinen.  Truly a magical year.
At the time, Redgrave had an Olympic Gold in the 4, and nothing else.  Redgrave finished 12th in the same single scull race and would go back to sweep rowing in 1986.  Lange was still in the double scull picking up his second World Championship medal at the same regatta.
Though his rowing record is not as golden as Redgrave's, Lange's, Karppinen's or Kolbe's, (life is not always fair) Sudduth's talent was exceptional and comparable.
To an Athlete Dying Young
by A. E. Housman--(1859-1936)
The time you won your town the race,  We chaired you through the market-place; Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high.
To-day, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town.
Smart lad, to slip betimes away, From fields were glory does not stay, And early though the laurel grows, It withers quicker than the rose
Eyes the shady night has shut, Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers, After earth has stopped the ears:
Now you will not swell the rout, Of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran, And the name died before the man.
So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up, The still-defended challenge-cup.
And round that early-laurelled head, Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find unwithered on its curls, The garland briefer than a girl's.
