;"a member of the "Little Senate" of Addison's (see above) at Button's coffee shop.":Maybe I misunderstood something, but there's no mention of what is that Addison's and no reference to it anywhere above. Was it Joseph Addison, or was it another coffee shop, and what was that "little senate" at all? No further references found when just f*cking Googling for it.

message: I deleted the following false statement:
"This poetry was more explicitly political than the poetry that had preceded it, and it was distinguished by a greater degree of satire."
Absolutely not. The whole point is that in the transition from Republic to Imperial monarchy, Romans lost a degree of freedom of speech. Writers under Augustus had to become cagier in how they expressed themselves because they were subject to the emperor's whim. Satire is the most distinctively Roman genre of literature; it is characteristic of all periods, but its targets and relative directness change.  Cynwolfe (talk) 16:33, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The article is long enough, as this chord progression is one of the less common ones, and mainly occurs in only one style (blues) Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. There are many satellite articles to Twelve-bar blues at this point, it's a bit of a mess. They all need the context of Twelve-bar blues to make sense. There is also a high chance of overlap, because they all have material in common. They should really all be merged to one article. Twelve-bar blues could have a section for "Blues progressions of various durations", or something to that effect, to explain Sixteen-bar blues and Eight-bar blues, which are simply variations of 12-bar blues, not really distinct progressions.BassHistory (talk) 10:56, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Favila of Asturias|Favila]] and [[Pelayo]] 

message: Working on the German page I came across this article. The year of birth ist given as c. 687 (which would be the year when his father was crowned). But Ergica was already 77 when he became king. On the other hand some believe that Achila II was the son of Wittiza.  Agila became king 710 (or 711). This would mean that Wittiza had been about 24 then, which makes it impossible that Achilla was already grown up to face the Muslims. The German article on Ardo states, that Achilla was forced to abdicate for himself and his three sons in 714. These temporal problems would be solved if Wittiza was born earlier. Does anybody have any sources on that? --Reinhold Stansich 09:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is very well sourced. Achila was not a son of Wittiza and he was not forced to abdicate. Wittiza was the son of Cixilo, only married in 687. The "sons of Wittiza" play a major role in legend, but none in history. Srnec 01:32, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Quoting from Reliable Sources:
:Tertiary sources such as compendia, encyclopedias, textbooks, and other summarizing sources may be used to give overviews or summaries, but should not be used in place of secondary sources for detailed discussion.
This means that your sources are not as good as the ones already cited and should not be used in place of them. This is why it is unacceptable to keep insisting on the date 701, for example, when the article already explains what is wrong with it (and sources it to the secondary literature).

message: I've replaced references to Sept. 11 attacks and "war on terror" with "invasion of Afghanistan" which ought to have a more direct impact on the making of war rugs (I'm not an expert here, so if the attacks or the global war on terror are subjects for war rugs, please correct me.)
I also changed the following statement attributing the level of violence to war lords.  Although warlordism may be important, contributions of other groups makes me think that a more generic statement may be more appropriate.  I did link to the page for "taliban insurgency" since that is a major catalyst for violence right now, but addition of a little summary of the players in current violence might be a good project.

But then the whole topic of the early Franks is still pretty much in deficit. If you start in one one thing you soon find yourself on others. Fine, someone started the article and others like it.

Talk:Dingbat (disambiguation)

message: I plan to radically change this page to match WP:MOSDAB and am saving the original here:
*A dingbat is an ornament or spacer used in typesetting, sometimes more formally known as a "printer's ornament"
*Dingbat is also a slang term, used to describe someone who has a silly, foolish, or clownish demeanor. It was a favorite insult of the fictional character Archie Bunker in the 1970s television show All in the Family (particularly when addressing his wife, Edith).
*Cartoonist George Herriman had a newspaper comic strip called "The Dingbat Family", as it was originally of a small size so that printers could use it to fill space on the comics page like a dingbat. "The Dingbat Family" was an ancestor of Herriman's most famous creation, "Krazy Kat". The comic strip may have influenced the slang usage of the term "dingbat" as given above.
*The Dingbats of Danger Street were a DC Comics kids' team created by Jack Kirby.
*There is a board game called Dingbats, in which players must solve rebuses.  Following its release, rebuses in this style enjoyed a revival of interest in the UK and the word dingbat was used to describe them. Their popularity peaked in the 1980s, but they still appear in national newspaper's puzzle sections.
*Dingbat (building) also refers to a building on stilts with room for parking underneath, a style of architecture common to post-war development in Los Angeles. 
*In South Africa (at least), a Dingbat was a popular toy in the 1970s.  It was made up of a hard plastic bat connected to a ball with an elastic string.
