message: Welll, being someone who lives in Twinbrook, I think that there are two (twin) streams (brooks) in the neighborhood, hence the name Twinbrook. I've only seen one of them, though. And no, the neighborhood is not named after the street. It's the other way around.
Also, Twinbrook is not the only residential area in Rockville nor is it the only commercial area in Rockville, yet this article makes it sound like it is. Somebody might want to change that.
Yeah as someone who also lives in Twinbrook, this article fails to touch on the fact that Twinbrook is a residential area.

Talk:Dead Heart in a Dead World

message: Although it looks like there's a comma after the "t" in "heart", making it look like the title reads Dead Heart, in a Dead World, the "comma" is actually a quirk of the font. I thought it was a comma too until I had a good look at the booklet and saw the "comma" after every 't'. "Narcosynthesis" for example, looks like "Narcosyt,hesis". It's just a serif on the toe of the letter, not an actual punctuation mark. I think the comma should be taken out of the title of this album. --BrianFG (talk) 01:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Template talk:Mario franchise

message: I recently made an edit for this, but was told to discuss it here first. I added a section to the article listing other notable platformer series which have had some connection to the Mario franchise over the years, but are not just spin-off sub-series, e.g. Donkey Kong or Wario. Here's some clarification on why each series I listed was included, for if considering adding it again. What they each have in common (besides being platformers or series with a lot of platformers), is either an official Mario cameo has appeared in its series, or an official cameo of their game(s) have appeared in a Mario game.
1. The Banjo and Conker series were both mentioned for the obvious reason that they made their debuts in Diddy Kong Racing, as well as a number of more subtle Mario references littered throughout Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie in particular. It could almost be argued that they're sub-series of Mario (rights being eaten up by Microsoft aside, I mean in terms of their origins).
2. The Sonic series was mentioned because of the handful of Mario and Sonic crossovers, since they started 'getting along'.
3. Kirby, Legendary Starfy, Kid Icarus, Chibi-Robo, Splatoon, Metroid were all mentioned due to the combination of also being owned by Nintendo, and additionally all having had one or two Mario cameos littered throughout them (and/or vice versa).
4. Mega Man, R.O.B. and Skylanders were listed due to several Mario characters appearing in their games and/or vice versa, due to the amiibos. R.O.B. is perhaps more of a grey area as there's only one real 'platformer' in that (brief) series (Gyromite).
5. Battletoads is arguably the most tenuous one. A sort of cameo appeared in the form of the Battle T character in Mario Party 2 and 3. It could be debated whether this was intentional, but the fact the character did not appear in Mario Party 4 (around when Rare switched to Microsoft) and the character's green color do pretty strong imply it was an agreed nod to the games between Rare and Nintendo. Understandable if this is considered too vague to include.
I hope that makes sense of the mentions. Nineteneleven1 19:19, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know what pigments go into Payne's grey?
: OK, answered that one.
Who was Payne?
: A payne-ter perhaps?  ;)
: www.chrisbeetles.com refers to two books with information about William Payne (1760-1830).
*Peter Hunt, Payne’s Devon, Exeter: Devon Books, 1986
*David Japes, William Payne: A Plymouth Experience, Exeter: Royal Albert Memorial Museum, 1992
: Anyone enthusiastic with access to a decent library can check these books and cite them on the artcle page if they are any good.  The Chris Beetles link may be ephemeral and temporary.
I'm beginning to suspect that different manufacturers have slightly different formulations of Payne's grey.  Some of them might be bluer than others.  Any comments on my suspicions?
--Publunch 02:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are almost certainly correct. For example, the Payne's grey produced by Winsor and Newton gives the chemical composition as Copper phthalocyanine, Carbon Black and Quincridone. Copper phthalocyanine is Monastral Blue, a different pigment to the ultramarine described in the article. Carbon Black is black, Quincridone is redish. It is however impossible that William Payne, painting in the 18th century, could have used this exact formulation, since the phthalocyanine pigments weren't discovered until the 1920s.It might be worth adding a sentence or two about modern versions sometimes containing slightly different pigments.

So, a black tiger. Not sure if it's black in color or in silhouette, but likely in color, from the title, as has been conjectured. This should be enough to describe its coloration, whether skin or fur, as black in the article. Login54321 (talk) 19:48, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

It may also have etymological links to "Cur" which is a) an insult and b) slang for a mongrel dog.

message: I made the change I did removing the fact broadcast standards were the cause for the change in the anime, as I seriously doubt it was Broadcast Standards that forced the changes from the manga seen in the anime.

My sources for such information are many but Japanese TV Take it All Off! is one of the many and is a good summary of what I have been saying and one that supports my reasoning as to why Broadcast standards are not a cause of the changes.
