Talk:The Triangle (miniseries)

message: Reality seems to be warping around them. I don't know what should be done about how to describe what is happening. On the one hand, trying to describe what is happening without attributing causes is problematic, but any attempt to nominate a cause is problematic as well. A wide variety of possible causes could be presented, but this sort of thing is not common for a encyclopedia article, but "glimpses of alternative realities" (a statement made in the show) isn't that common either. 
I'm typing this as I'm watching it. Just saw the part where a reality wave turned a guy from a Nazi to an ordinary citizen.

Talk:Gaius Suetonius Paulinus

message: Needs a bit of a clean up here guys. It says here that he became Governor in 59...yet the wiki for Nepos, claims Nepos died in 57, and Britain didn't have no Governor for 2 years so one is wrong.

thread_title:  Governor of Britain? 

message: Mona is described in this article as a "refuge for British fugitives" as well as a center of the druids.  The former though seems, to me, to be suspected - were they fugitives of British tribal laws, or Roman laws?  If they were fugitives of Roman law it would probably mean that they had been given high standing by the Romans, such as citizenship, else they would have been dealt with by their own local law.  Then what does Tacitus mean?  does he mean that Mona was harboring fugitives from Roman Law or British Law - and as Mona was not within the conquered territories of Britain until Paulinus invasion.  Is there a distinction being made between British fugitives and British refugees?  Why did Tacitus choose the former term?  Was he correct or was he more politically motivated.

thread_title:  fugitives or refugees? 

message: I have removed the image in this article, which had a caption that claimed that it was an artist's impression of 'Suetonius Paulinus, the imperial governor, returned from campaigning in Wales to London'. It is in fact a painting by Chris Collingwood entitled AD 61, depicting 'cavalry and legionaries (plus an auxiliary Hamian archer) of the XIVth Legion' (http://www.directart.co.uk/mall/more.php?ProdID=2405). It is therefore arguably only partly (if at all) relevant to his life and career, and I've removed it accordingly. Michael Fryer 08:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

message: the article states unequivocally that boudica took poison. even the period historians are in disagreement over this, with tacitus saying so, and dio saying that she took ill and died. the history channel documentary dissembles, and says that all that is known with certainty is that neither she nor her daughters were taken captive.i think some note needs to be included to this effect. if a credible source for suicide by poison exists, then that needs inclusion.Toyokuni3 (talk) 23:17, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Panic buying

message: It seems that this article is being used as a medium to express bias - editors are using the examples to write against policies they disagree with. So, the aricle says that there is "panic buying" of incandecent lightbulbs because gov'ts are banning these "popular products" and there was panic buying of guns in 2008 because Americans were scared Obama would ban them. Look, I personally have no idea if that's true or not, but we need to be careful and be sure to at least cite these examples and the description of "panic buying".theBOBbobato (talk) 03:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Regarding Soviet funding

message: The allegation that the CPUSA received funding from Moscow is Machiavellian and disingenuous, at best. The purpose is to make the CP out to be a "foreign" group, so as to effectively deny or denigrate the existence of conditions such as poverty, racism, exploitation, etc. If such conditions were admitted to be serious, that would tend to justify the existence of Marxist criticism. It is disingenuous because the US regularly, for over a century has meddled in the affairs of scores of other countries, which meddling has included not only funding opposition groups, but actions of a more serious nature.
FWIW, the CPUSA receives its funding from members and sympathizers in the following ways: 1) Dues and sustainers from members; 2) Assesments for Southern Solidarity (to support the especially difficult conditions in the South), for conventions, etc.; 3) Three separate yearly fund drives to support a) the Party's activity, b) the paper (People's Weekly World), and c) the monthly journal (Political Affairs); 4) Gifts and bequests; 5) Sale of Party books and pamphlets. Frequently, members traveling to other cities for meetings or educational activities are put up in comrades' houses. Convention attendees have been known to carpool and drive 2000 miles to save money.
A financial crisis in the early nineties would have been due to the loss of many members who left the Party in the ideological confusion and doubts surrounding the dissolution of the Soviet Union. --Jose Ramos 14:47, 14 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Jack Torrance

message: I felt the article was more centered on the film version than the novel so I revised it so it featured both of them and added some pictures. I think this improves the main article.--CyberGhostface 17:12, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Revision

message: I wish people would stop asserting that Jack Nicholson portrayed Torrance as "insane from the get-go." For some reason people seem to see Stephen King's word as law. The very first sentence of the "plot" section in the wikipedia article for The Shining describes Jack Torrance as "temperamental." That's exactly how Nicholson portrayed him up until "all work and no play...", simply as on the edge. Perhaps there weren't enough scenes with Wendy, Jack, and Danny together (because there's more focus placed on their individual experiences in the hotel) but this doesn't suggest that Jack Nicholson played the character as "insane." There's simply more scenes of his short temper.--137.238.149.151 (talk) 16:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Jack Torrance in the film

message: I'm pretty sure that Jack killed himself by gathering ahold of himself and beating himself over the head with the mallet.  I think then that the hotel took over him and continued to try to pursue Danny until Danny, Wendy, and Dick escaped as it blew up.  We should differentiate between Jack's own will, and those of the hotel taking over him.
:I haven't read the book in a while, but I don't recall that being the cause of his death.--CyberGhostface 00:55, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Jack's Death

message: "The film ends with an old photograph of the hotel that has Jack in it - Jack has been ultimately absorbed into the hotel."I don't think the hotel 'absorbed' Jack, Jack was at that photograph all along. It is referenced numerous times in the movie that Jack was the caretaker of the hotel years ago. - Face 16:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Absorbed

message: It's original research to suggest that Jack is 'stuck' at the hotel given that there's nothing in the novel that states that.  Also consider how the other ghosts (Derwent, the woman in Room 217) were able to follow Danny home. It's more likely that he was just watching over Danny at a time of need. --CyberGhostface (talk) 00:46, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Cross Sound Cable

message: "The cable has since been operating and, generally, sells electricity from the New England power grid to the Northeast power grid."
This doesn't seem exactly clear. New England is located in the Northeast U.S., so these two regions seem to be the same thing. The cable runs from Connecticut to Long Island, and neither "New England" or "Northeast" equate obviously to either region. Can anyone fix this sentence to whatever the meaning ought to be?

message: The style section already lists Christian metal, nu metal and symphonic metal. Adding a generic "heavy metal" genre is of no benefit. Also, the genre is at :heavy metal music.
Also, stating, "in July 2019, John Cooper, lead singer with the band Skillet, joined Brian Kilmeade to talk about merging Heavy Metal with Christian music" adds nothing. It's essentially a headline pointing to a piece of news that is off-site.
