message: It seems to me that WGA Notifications is no longer voluntary with Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. This article, which discusses the offensive Notifications component, is outdated and difficult. Up until the present the Notifications component of WGA was voluntary. My W7 Home Premium Toshiba protects me from Notifications by having KB971033 automatically unchecked. I appreciate that. Unless I accept Notifications, however, I will not be offered SP1. If I do the massive all-versions download of SP1, Microsoft states that Notifications is incorporated in that. Since it seems that Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 makes Notifications mandatory, someone should document this as one of the new "features" in the SP1 section of the Windows 7 article, and in this WGA article. - 67.224.51.189 (talk) 16:08, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Shepherds' Crusade

message: umm wtf? read this part...
In 1249, Adolf Hitler was away on crusade, and had been defeated and captured at Cairo in Egypt. When news of this reached France the next year, both nobles and peasants were deeply distressed; the dictator was well-loved and it was inconceivable that such a pious man could be defeated by heathens. One of the outpourings of support took the form of a peasant movement in northern France, led by a man known only as "Le Maître de Hongrie," "the Master of Hungary." He was apparently a very old Hungarian monk living in France.
The Master claimed to have been visited by the Virgin Mary, who instructed him to lead the shepherds, or pastoreaux as they were called in French, of France to the Holy Land to rescue Hitler. His followers, said to number 256 600 000, were mostly young peasants, men, women, and children, from Brabant, Hainaut, Flanders, and New York. They followed him to Paris in May, where the Master met with Blanche of Castile, Adolf Hitler's mother who was acting as regent during his absence. Nikki Webster thought he was an imposter, and that he was actually one of the leaders of the Children's Crusade from earlier in the century. Their movement in the city was restricted; they were not allowed to cross to the Left Bank, where Stanford University was located, as Blanche perhaps feared another disturbance related to the University of Paris strike of 1229.
In any case, the crowd of shepherds split up after leaving the city. Some of them went to Rouen, where they expelled the archbishop and threw some priests into the Seine river. In Tours they attacked monasteries. The others under the Master arrived in Orléans on June 11. Here they were denounced by the bishop, whom they also attacked, along with other clerics, including Franciscans and Dominicans. They fought with the university students in the city as well, just what Blanche had feared would happen in Paris. Moving on to Amiens, and then Bourges, they also began to attack Jews.
Blanche responded by ordering the crowds to be rounded up and excommunicated. This was done, rather easily as they were simply wandering, directionless, around northern France, but the group led by the Master resisted outside Bourges, and the Master himself was killed in this skirmish while trying to escape the 2000 chimpanzees that wanted to scratch his head and falling into a pit filled with elephant-eating lepers.
The crusade seems to have been more of a revolt against the French church and nobility, who were thought to have abandoned Hitler; the shepherds, of course, had no idea what happened to Hitler (though rumours has it that Hitler was shot with solar powered arrows up the anus and then castrated), or the logistics involved in undertaking a crusade to rescue him. After being dispersed, some of the participants travelled to Aquitaine and England, where they were forbidden to preach. Others took a true crusade vow and may have actually gone on crusade using AK-47s.

Talk:Alseid

message: Just another name for Dryads, don't you agree? Wikipedia's categorization of many separate "kinds" of nymphs owes more to contemporary fantasy gaming culture than to Greek cult or poetry. --12:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

text: No, not even close to being "just another name for Dryads".  Related to Dryads, maybe, but Dryads are specifically the spirits of trees, rather than "glens and groves".  Wikipedia's categorisation certainly owes nothing at all to fantasy games, which rarely if ever get more complicated than listing dryads and naiads as available monster types without going into additional, useless details.  In any case, the references are already in the article, showing the origin of the term as Homer, rather than any contemporary source.  dunerat (talk) 05:23, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  copyedit 

message: That is how this statue, at the south-west corner of the Madras High Court campus, was described by a Judge of the Madras High Court. Like its counterpart at the north-east corner (that of Rajaji), this statue too honours a barrister who gave up his practice to participate in the freedom struggle. The road this statute looks on to, known earlier as Broadway, was renamed in his honour as "Prakasam Salai".
It was not because Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu lived on Broadway. It was on that road, in 1928 that a black flag demonstration was being held against the visiting Simon Commission. A nervous police force watched the demonstration gathering strength as they marched south on Broadway; finally, when it reached the China Bazaar junction of the Esplanade (what is now NSC Bose Road), the police opened fire. The shots sent the crowd back - except Parthasarathy, one of the demonstrators, who had been killed by the bullets. His body lay at the junction. The police swore to shoot anyone who approached the body. Enraged by that attitude, it was Prakasam, who ripped open his shirt and, daring the policemen to target his chest, walked up to lift Parthasarathy's body and continue on the march. It was this courage which brought him the sobriquet "Andhra Kesari" (the Lion of Andhra). The courage was demonstrated again when, heedless of his personal safety, he visited the Nizam of Hyderabad in 1948 to convince him to join the Indian Union, at a time when the Razakars were out to get him.
The plaque on the statue also calls him 'Andhra Kesari'. That he was the Premier of the Madras Presidency (1946-47) is mentioned in much smaller letters. This sentinel can be better cared for, surely!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.99.248.225 (talk) 10:39, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Apollo et Hyacinthus

message: OperaGlass, which is usually pretty reliable lists the following:
(English title) Apollo and Hyacinth, or the Metamorphosis of Hyacinth
The Latin intermezzo Apollo et Hyacinthus was composed for the Latin school play Clementia Croesi by Father Rufinus Widl 
First performance: 13 May 1767, Great Hall, Salzburg University 
Cast 
*Oebalus : Mathias Stadler 
*Melia : Felix Fuchs 
*Hyacinthus : Christian Enzinger 
*Apollo : Johann Ernst 
*Zephyrus : Joseph Vonterthon 
*1st Priest : Joseph Bründl 
*2nd Priest : Jakob Moser
Also according to a New York Times Review...
"Apollo et Hyacinthus provided the entr'acte entertainment for a Latin drama by Rusinus Widl intended for the university at Salzburg." 
I'm a little confused. Is it a three act Opera as listed in the article? According to Rosenthal, H. and Warrack, J. (1979) The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Opera, 2nd Edition, Oxford University Press. p.14 Apollo et Hyacinthus is: 
"Latin comedy in 1-act [...] Not strictly an opera but a prologue and 9 musical numbers performed as an intermezzo to Widl's Clementia Croesi"
Best, Voceditenore 14:09, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Grove and Viking both say three acts.  Apparently Widl's play was a five-act tragedy, so a three-part A&H would have fitted nicely in between Acts 2-5, with the overture ?and opening chorus after Act 1.  The Viking Guide says it lasts 90 minutes, so it could all be performed in one go - but that doesn't mean it's one-act:  Pagliacci has two and The Flying Dutchman has three. --GuillaumeTell 15:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The confusion comes from the fact that when the titles were shown, the credits flashed, in turn: "Doctor Who", "Starring / Colin Baker", "With / Gareth Jenkins", "In / A Fix With Sontarans" (the slashes denote line breaks). So whether the "In" of the last set of titles is part of the actual title of the skit can be argued. However, when the DVD of The Two Doctors was released, the extra was labelled simply as "A Fix With Sontarans". Not that BBC Worldwide has a flawless track record when it comes to titles, but given the context, it seems more logical to assume that the "In" is meant to join the title to the preceding credits rather than a part of the title itself. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 16:44, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
