Talk:Sans-Souci Palace

message: ""Some scholars have also asked whether Christophe took part of his inspiration for the palace from the Prussian emperor Frederick the Great's palace in Potsdam, Sanssouci, a symbol of European Enlightenment achievement.""
That is not a question at all, it's a fact. 
Before writing such nonsense just have a look at Sanssouci in Potsdam. 
The front part is similar beyond doubt.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.139.113.121 (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Amateur mistake. A likelier explanation is pure chance. Trouillot has shown that there is no direct evidence suggesting any affinity to Sanssouci in Potsdam, apart from visual similarity. Rather, there is strong evidence that shows Henri Christophe built it to show his power over the rebel loyalist and his enemy Jean-Baptiste Sans Souci, who refused to accept Christophe's authority because Christophe defected to the French in 1802. Christophe then killed Sans Souci and likely built the palace there. OwlzOfMinerva (talk) 16:50, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Broken Hill Football League

message: There are currently two articles - Broken Hill Football League (South Australia) and  Broken Hill Football League (New South Wales) - which cover the same league.

thread_title:  NPR Living on Earth segment 

message: This article claims that the Haitian Creole pig is extinct. However, there is reason to doubt this:
1) The picture of the Creole pig used, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Creole_Pig.jpg, was taken in January 2005, according to the image metadata listed.
2) Multiple YouTube videos have shown footage of the Creole pig in existence as late as 2016:
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbOPmjJsI-A
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adQabeZjAmk
Both of these videos claim that there was an extermination campaign carried out in the 1970s/1980s, however, they claim that it was unsuccessful, and that it only endangered the pig, not led to its extinction. 
While it is not possible to verify that the pigs depicted here are actual, authentic Haitian creole pigs, along with the fact that WP:UGC cannot be used as reliable sources, I believe that this evidence at least sows enough doubt for us to reconsider the "Extinct" status listed.

Chayant 06:38, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Ramsey number R(3,3)=6, which I assume that you are referring to, is the first number where a blue triangle or a red triangle is forced. The largest monochromatic triangle free edge coloring is on the complete graph with 5 vertices, so 6 vertices forces a monochromatic triangle. Ramsey numbers are always one larger than the largest coloring of the given type. (My personal POV is that this is an irritant, since I often misstate Ramsey numbers by one as a result. I'd change it if I could, but they were defined before I was born. ;o) ) --Ramsey2006 07:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sleeping Hermaphroditus

*Bolded title phrases are not also linked.
*"is thought to be..." never makes a wrong statement right or a deluded personal statement mainstream and encyclopedic: omit it always.

*"a generic hermaphrodite being" rather than the mythic figure of Hermaphroditus himself is a solecism, like saying that a sculpture of Hercules might also be just a guy with a club..
**Yes, it's a hermaphrodite who may (or not) be the Hermaphroditus, rather than Hermaphroditus who may be a hermaphrodite, if u see what I mean.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Daffodil (performance artists)

message: From Daffodil discussion:
The deleted Daffodil wiki certainly conformed to all the rules and guidelines as are available for reference; once it was noticed by Daffodil's active members the editing was undertaken very seriously - no one had any idea who started the wiki, but we were as delighted by its discovery as we are now wounded by its pointless deletion.
It's particularly depressing that the Daffodil page was yanked, as members across the world drew encouragement and validation from the fact that some fan or associate somewhere knew of our work; many were beginning to excitedly contribute to it, recalling resources, cross-referencing our history with those of similar organizations, collating media, links, articles, and so forth. Two editors with a great deal of experience in academic publication had each contributed time and energy into tone-editing, and many people in many countries contributed materials intended for use on the wiki in question.  It quickly became a unique document, which is now irrecoverable.
At least a hundred artists and philosophers, worldwide, were robbed of recognition and historical voice for no salient reason.  It's inexcusable.
