Talk:Tom Chambers (actor)

message: Chambers had a near death experience in December 2000 when the British Airways flight on which he was travelling from London to Nairobi was disrupted in a hijack attempt. Paul Mukonyi, a 27-year old mental patient from Kenya, burst into the cockpit of the Boeing 747. As the cockpit crew fought to restrain Mukonyi, the auto-pilot became disengaged in the struggle, the jumbo was knocked off course and it plunged about 19,000 feet (5,700 metres) with 398 passengers on board. The pilots recovered control of the aircraft and all passengers landed safely. Chambers described this as "the most terrifying experience of my life". It was this flight that caused him to seek out his teenage sweetheart, Clare Harding, and propose.[7] Chambers married Clare in October 2008 in Derbyshire, having to change the date due to his commitments in Strictly Come Dancing.
The incident on the plane is not a near-death experience. A near-death experience (NDE) refers to a broad range of personal experiences associated with impending death, encompassing multiple possible sensations ranging from detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, extreme fear, total serenity, security, or warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of a light, which some people interpret as a deity[1] Some see NDEs as a paranormal and spiritual glimpse into the afterlife.
What actually happened is a "close call": He could have died but didn't. Or, it could be called "a life changing event": As a result of his experience, he made some decisions which he wouldn't otherwise have made.88.5.158.11 (talk) 20:55, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a strange bit of quibbling. If you nearly die in an incident like this, then you saying you are near death is neither wrong nor an exaggeration, ergo..it is a near death experience. In cfatc I'd say this is more "near death" than the pyscho-babble mumbo jumbo the above writer seems to prefer. Bacon Man (talk) 11:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Literary Significance and Criticism? 

message: I'm confused -- "It was her first book to debut at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list." Has she had a second (third, fourth...) book to debut in that spot? Already? Or is that just a clumsy way to say "It debuted at #1 etc" ? Or is it simply extreme, and npov, optimism?
"It was her first book to debut at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list." is a fact. No more or less. I don't know when this was asked, but as yet there is at least a second book to debut at #1: Handle with care (2009). Change of Heart (2008) also reached #1, but I'm not sure if it was the debut or not. A black eyed (talk) 14:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

In wake of the shooting, Jodi Picoult released this statement on her website. 
"As a parent, my deepest sympathy goes out to the victims and families of the Virginia Tech community. Although shootings on college campuses are often motivated by different factors than the ones I researched for high school shootings in Nineteen Minutes, any time something like this happens it is tragic and raises questions. However, the one we should be asking right now is: How can we help this community heal?"

message: The photo under the section "Other", this article's third photo, shows Nicholas Benton Alexander III with his family. The caption lists those pictured, but appears to misidentify his son. The caption lists his son's name as: "Bradford". However, the second paragraph under the section "Other" clearly states that the son is named after his father, making the son's legal name Nicholas Benton Alexander IV. That paragraph also states that the tradition was carried on with his own son, because he is named Nicholas Benton Alexander V. Therefore, I believe that the caption of the third photo to be incorrect. Just wanted to reach a consensus before the caption is altered. - SeaBeeDee SeaBeeDee 19:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Mito Kōmon

message: At well over 1,000 episodes, I am wondering if this series is a contender for longest-running TV series of all time anywhere. I know of no other series that has been running this long, and I remember liking it when I lived in Japan a few years ago. Certainly there is no TV series in the United States that can boast 37 seasons and counting. Does anyone know if Mito Komon's claim to Longest TV Series Ever can be verified? 
Zandar555 00:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The nonfiction 60 Minutes started earlier. I don't know how many times it has been broadcast. Among jidaigeki, Mito Kōmon outlasted Abarenbo Shogun by quite a margin. Jidaigeki Channel says Zenigata Heiji lasted 888 episodes. It's not clear if that includes recent revivals or not. For Oedo Sosamo it gives 715 episodes. So within the genre Mito Kōmon is a contender... but I may be missing some other series. Outside of Japan, of course, it's a wide world.

Talk:Marmara

message: I'm not gonna waste time arguing about how, or even whether, the section "Marmara#Moths on the accompanying Dab page violates WP:MoSDab: even if the guidelines somehow perversely support it, it harms the project to say "Well, 'Marmara' is part of the name of each species in the genus; maybe someone remembers the head of the binary name and they'll be able to recognize the full name."   It's in the nature of the genus concept that a list of the species (plural) is part of the article on the genus, and the result of listing all the species on the Dab page is that users who can't remember the species save two clicks getting to that section of the species, at the expense of making users who know they aren't looking for a species waste time and attention getting what they need.
