Talk:Cycling UK

message: Should it not be simply "the UK's largest ..."?  The Republic of Ireland is a separate nation, and the CTC's presence there as a campaigning organisation is undetectable, as far as I can see living in the Republic.213.131.238.25 12:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's still a CTC District Association for Dublin and a few approved establishments (accommodation, repairers) in the country. The members' magazine now has "The UK's national cyclists' organisation" on its masthead. Reorganisation (sorry, "strategic development of governance" — the club has certainly changed since I were a lad) is planned to devolve power to "regions". Only three so far: Scotland, Wales and London, but more are promised. Northern Ireland and the Republic are designated to be separate regions at present. --Old Moonraker 13:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Phillips New Testament in Modern English

message: There has been an objection by Fram to the posting of a verse from a copyrighted translation, especially since the verse was not explicitly commented on in the article.  It is common practice in writing about Bible translations (in a variety of outlets, not just Wikipedia) to quote a standard passage so that readers can compare the work under discussion with the work of others.  Though Fram is probably technically correct, I vote for leaving it since it is by itself an important piece of information. Pete unseth (talk) 21:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Short passages are always allowed under fair use doctrine, including on Wikipedia. The question would be how long can short be. Im sure john 3:16 (which is currently quoted) is short enough. Fram is technically incorrect, unless the passage is unambiguously long.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:24, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Philosophy as Cultural Politics

message: Accuracy Dispute
I don’t know why the article says ‘The subjects covered are Objectivity, Relativism, and Truth. There are also essays on Heidegger and Others, as well on the relation between Truth and Progress.’ This is just a list of the titles of other volumes in the series of Rorty’s collected papers and is a very misleading way of characterizing the content of Philosophy as Cultural Politics. Also, Rorty is dead, so his job description needs to be changed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dedalus22 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

"In his affidavit Leipheimer testified to a number of doping-related offenses, but also implicated himself, admitting to having used blood transfusions as recently as the 2007 Tour de France. He lost his third place overall in that race as well as his prior results obtained from June 1, 1999 through to July 30, 2006 and from July 7 through to July 29, 2007."

message: In the wake of the new edition of the book, released last week, I propose to give this article a thorough overhaul and expansion to do  Gowers's classic work better justice than the present scant page. As the new edition is titled Plain Words – rather than The Complete Plain Words, which we are told in the introduction to the new edition Gowers came to consider a poor title – would anyone mind if I moved the article to "Plain Words", with a redirect from "The Complete Plain Words" rather than vice versa, as at present? – Tim riley (talk) 20:32, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Planisphaerium

message: The amount of information you have added to this article is good, considering that it is a fairly obscure topic, and the references you added are important because it didn’t seem to have any before. I like the pictures, but one of them makes me curious. The caption under the picture says “Herman of Carinthia, translator of Planisphaerium, with an astrolabe” which interested me because Herman of Carinthia is only briefly mentioned in the article. It seems to me that a section on him, not a whole autobiography, but maybe a paragraph or so about his involvement with astronomy and translation would be relevant to the article.Leav5419 (talk) 05:41, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Class Review 

message: This section claiming that the notion of a flat earth was stimulated by the text of Ptolemy's Planisphaerium is not supported by numerous medieval astronomical sources which all assume a spherical earth.

message: Curious.  Where specifically does it say that the title is a reference to the Fifth of November? Peteresch 15:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fifth of November 

message: "Octember" may not necessarily be a portmanteau as stated in the article.  "septem" is Latin for "seven" and "octo" is latin for "eight", so, for someone unfamiliar with the history of our calendar, "Octember" would naturally follow from "September".  This is not a portmanteau, since the word is not derived from "October" but rather, "octo".  I'd like to see a reference supporting the portmanteau assertion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.113.22.50 (talk) 14:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sigla need descriptions 

message: Although the "20th Century" section lists a few notable translations, it would be good to have a complete (or mostly complete) list of the major published translations of the poems in English, preferably with a date and a few words as to what makes each translation unique.  Readers who are not Latin students are likely to be looking for an English translation and providing a more-or-less complete list would provide a good starting point. 110.133.94.93 (talk) 06:42, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major Translations in Print 

message: The recordings which have been added at the bottom under the heading "Readings" are very good. The reader has an ideal voice, with marvellous expression, and is delightful to listen to. The vowel qualities are exactly as one would wish, and it's also very helpful to see the text while hearing the reading. At the same time, however, he might have paid a little more attention to the vowel length and rhythm. For example, in poem 1 he pronounces cui as qui, and lepidum as leppidum, and puts a long vowel in novum, tribus, maneat, but a short vowel in āridā, putāre, pūmice, explicāre, quālecumque. These things don't necessarily spoil the reading, but if they were corrected it would be even better. Kanjuzi (talk) 18:05, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Readings 

message: Sentences such as "But it is not the traditional notions Catullus rejects, merely their monopolized application to the active life of politics and war" and "He writes obsessively about Lesbia; however she is just an object to him. In his writing, the male lover is the important character, and Lesbia is part of his theatrical passion" and so on seem to me very doubtful, and more in the style of a personal essay than a factual encyclopedia article. This whole section on Style needs to be rewritten or deleted. Kanjuzi (talk) 18:20, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Poirot's Early Cases

message: I've reversed a change that an anonymous user made to my plot summary for "The Chocolate Box" as he seemed to think I made a mistake in confusing Belgium with France. If they or anyone else chooses to look at Christie's text they will find that she made the same possible error and the plot summary should reflect her text.--Jtomlin1uk (talk) 17:42, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Right - had to change text back. For the sake of arguement here is Christie's text from the 1974 UK first edition- 
"That of which I tell you (said M. Poirot) took place in Belgium many years ago. It was at the time of the terrible struggle in France between church and state. M. Paul Dé roulard was a French deputy of note. It was an open secret that the portfolio of a Minister awaited him. He was among the bitterest of the anti-Catholic party, and it was certain that on his accession to power, he would have to face violent enmity. He was in many ways a peculiar man. Though he neither drank nor smoked, he was nevertheless not so scrupulous in other ways. You comprehend, Hastings, c'é tait des femmes - toujours des femmes! "
Now - will someone please explain to me how this story does NOT involve a French deputy when Christie herself said so! If she made a major error in her text - and it looks as if she did - then note it in the references section but leave the plot summary alone to reflect what the book says!--Jtomlin1uk (talk) 16:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  This book just came out of copyright on January 1, based on the 1924 publication date. You can see the new cover image added to this article a day or ago. It is due to the complicated copyright laws in the US. The biggest thing coming out of copyright on Jan 1, 2020 was Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. His heirs fear its use in rap songs. See an article about some of this year's books and music in the public domain here.

message: FYI the maintainers of this page may want to add a reference to the following -- from :
:The Case of Samuel P. Huntington. In 1968 Samuel P. Huntington wrote a book entitled Political Order in Changing Societies. In it Huntington uses what might charitably be characterized as pseudomathematical hucksterism to "prove" that South African society in the 1960s was a "satisfied society". Serge Lang decided that nothing could be further from the truth, and in any event Huntington's methodology was suspect if not corrupt. He conducted a vigorous campaign to derail Huntington's credibility, and he twice successfully blocked Huntington's election to the National Academy of Sciences.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.126.21 (talk) 02:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Abbreviation 

message: I'd like to propose renaming this article "Polycarp's Epistle to the Philippians." Firstly, this would make this article consistent with the naming convention of the articles on the Pauline epistles, all of which are named "Epistle to ____" rather than "Letter to ____." Secondly, this wording would reflect more clearly the real possibility/probability that the epistle is a composite of two separate letters, since the word "epistle" more commonly denotes a literary genre of letter-like documents which may be composite/edited/intended for public reading. Thirdly, "epistle" seems to be the more common name for the document; New Advent, for example, calls it an "epistle": http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0136.htm. Also, the current title doesn't fit with Wikipedia's standards on the capitalization of the titles of articles- at minimum, "letter" should be capitalized.
If I don't hear any objections here, I'll make the change myself soon. Montgolfière (talk) 16:41, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
