Talk:Dumas Malone

message: This article is not related to Jefferson's owning of slaves in any way, nor is it an article about the fact that Jefferson was a leader of the abolitionist movement and the man who freed the entire world from tyranny and slavery. The article should be limited to what is pertinent to Dumas. One third of the article on Dumas should not be an anti-American, anti-Jeffersonian rant about how evil the man who brought liberty to all slaves in America of all races was by inheriting slaves that were brought to America (and most of their other subject colonies) by the English masters who enslaved all of the colonies and all of their people, who Jefferson liberated us from, and who would still be our masters today if it weren't for Jefferson. Diamond Blizzard (talk) is insisting that this page about a historian who wrote about Jefferson include a highly controversial, biased opinion regarding whether Jefferson was a man who enslaved or liberated people (even though the answer to that question is very clear, and the facts contradict the user's biased and hypocritical positions). Wikipedia is not a forum for political protests. This is not the place to display one's anti-Jeffersonian statements to the world, however misguided and ridiculous they may be. If you want to restore English colonial rule and make your self a slave again, then by all means, write the Queen of England in on the next election ballot, but this is not the place for promoting that. Discouraging you from including biased, one-sided information does not mean that my contributions to Wikipeida are not neutral. No one is neutral, but my contributions to actual Wikipedia articles are neutral, and Diamond Blizzard (talk)'s should be too, but they are not. Remove the biased, un-neutral material, and stop re-adding it, or else I will have to make this article neutral, but unfortunately that will not be possible without making this article more about Jefferson and his actual political and social views by quoting his actual writings and policies, than it is a biographical page about Dumas, just to ensure that the article is not biased, because that would require me to include both perspectives on what is clearly a very controversial topic, in accordance with Wikipedia policies on controversial topics. This is not an article about a controversial topic though. This is an article about a historian. There should be a simple explanation of the person's life and work, not a left-wing diatribe against the founder of the Democratic Party, without whom Diamond Blizzard (talk) would face the gallows for exercising any free speech that might insult the crown, and we'd all be slaves. Remove the bias, or I will include the counter-point, in accordance with Wikipedia policies on showing both sides of a controversy, if any side of a controversy is shown. You will not have one anti-Jefferson, anti-Democracy, anti-America opinion while other opinions are prohibited, King Diamond Blizzard (talk). 24.116.97.75 (talk) 02:30, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:E. W. Howe

message: An appreciation of E.W. Howe might be furthered by reading a short biography by his son Gene A Howe titled "My father was the most wretchedly unhappy man I ever knew".  This published first in the Saturday Evening Post October 25, 1941 and reprinted in "The Saturday Evening Post Treasury" copyright 1954.  It describes a hugely talented and tormented man who hated both religion and women yet stood as a journalist on par with William Allen White and others.

Talk:Mímir

message: I am of the understanding that Mimir was a giant rather than a God, which he is said to be in the article Mimir's Well. After all Mimir did live in Jotunheim, the realm of the giants, and this is were the Well existed too. User:Yggur 09:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Mímir is never stated as a jötunn anywhere in surviving literature. Rather, Mímir seems to be some sort of wise, primordial being associated with Yggdrasil through the term "Mímameiðr" as another term for the tree, and the well and the forest named after him - all considered to be around the same area. Basically, it would appear surviving sources don't give the whole picture. :bloodofox: (talk) 03:47, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

text: The fact that Mímir is not assigned much of a background is not at all unique among attested figures in surviving accounts of Norse mythology. By the way, you can sign your name just by typing ~~~~ at the end of your posts. :bloodofox: (talk) 09:12, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

text: By the way, while Mímir is not directly called a jötunn anywhere, his name appears in a list of jötunn in Skáldskaparmál, as well as appearing in a kenning for "jötunn". His name also appears as an element of the jötunn name Sökkmímir, which I will add soon. These three things are likely where the notion of Mímir-as-jötunn comes from, though they're not supported or elaborated on elsewhere as far as I know. I'll add the rest of the kennings soon. :bloodofox: (talk) 09:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mimir- God or Giant? 

message: As shown, inter alia, by the editors on this page, the   name of this figure is Mimir, not the hypercorrect Mímir. We can (and should) mention the accented use in the first line but we shouldn't pretend that's actually the only (or even usual) correct form in the English language. — LlywelynII 22:52, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: We're using the Old Norse form here because it's the most commonly employed in academia, which makes up the vast bulk of the mentions of the figure. This isn't a situation like Thor, Odin, or valkyrie. :bloodofox: (talk) 13:34, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Look; past things, what I have seen that it originated from Britain, but it just does not make any sense. Cause I have researched and Mimir keeps popping up, plus Mimir was the Norwegian God Odin's uncle. And the British claim that Mims came from a town in Britain in the 12 century and those particular Britain's call themselves Norfolk. I just don't buy it, cause 23 and me says I am of Scandinavian descent and my last name is Mims.

Talk:MS Jutlandia

message: Sønderborg, 29th december 2007.
I have just synchronized the Jutlandia page to the Danish page of the same name. I have written most of the Danish page.
I have spent the last two months researching this, and have to the best of my abillity provided current and correct information. Not all sources have been listed under "External links", but as there is a fair amount of cross-referencing, i have judged that the list is sufficient. And everything provided in the text, can for sure be found in the links.
Also, there hasn't been provided a direct link to every scrap of information. That would probably have resulted in a reference list several times larger than the main text. I hope for forgiveness.
Unfortunately, most of it is in Danish: i hope other Danish people will confirm the veracity.
Last, but not least: in the original English text, Jutlandia was referred to as 'it'!
As an old sailor, i feel very much aggrivated.
When you mention a ship, you call the ship by name, or you call the ship 'her' or 'she'. Never, ever, ever 'it'!
Shiver me timbers, if any of ye' miserable landlubbers ever call Her 'It' again, you'll have to deal with ME! Arrr!
..............!
Please, be nice to our Jutlandia. We Danes are very proud of her.

message: According to the intro of this article, Gungnir "always hits its mark and always kills". In which text does it actually say that? I can't seem to find any mention of this. The article states that Gungnir is described in Skáldskaparmál as "having the ability to always hit its mark". What I read in Skáldskaparmál is "that the spear would never stop in its thrust", which is something different IMO. Perhaps it always hitting its mark is just implied?Munin75 (talk) 14:02, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
