Talk:The Times (TV program)

message: To Sarah: why did you remove this information?
:"The Times was a critical success - respected and praised by critics for its slick, entertaining approach to news - but it attracted few viewers in its ridiculous and irregular late-night timeslots (it was bumped around the schedules, sometimes waiting until almost midnight before it went to air)."
The show was supported and praised by the critics in major newspapers.
The show did attract poor ratings.
The show did have an inconsistent timeslot, and often would air very late, and in the 2 years the show aired, it aired on three different days - hardly consistent.
The show did have a timeslot proven to be unsuitible for current affairs shows.

thread_title: The Spanish massacre of 1575

message: So in medieval times when accusations of witchcraft (and resultant burnings) were prevalent, the town of Oudewater offered the accused a chance of proving his or her innocence. This was more special than it sounds. It is a sign of the growing power of a third force next to church and nobility, i.e. citizens. In a bid for total domination, the witchhunts were sanctioned by the church to break the power of the local herb doctors (especially the females). The citizens of Oudewater therefore were, simply by being honest, defying the church.
i disagree with this part. because it suggests witch-burning was common in the middle ages and only stopped when citizens said 'NO MORE' in the renaissance, when large-scale witch-hunts only started at the end of the middle ages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_hunt   
and they were used by the church as a way of combating protestantism, rather than 'herb-ladies'.
i feel a much more interesting approach would be to hold up oudewater as proof that people in the past did NOT constantly burn witches on only the flimsiest of evidence, that it WAS possible for an accused witch to prove her innocence (without drowning in the process or anything). and that maybe in this whole story the only mass-panic that actually DID take place was the one in the 19th and early 20th century that accused previous generations of 'a holocaust against women'Selena1981 (talk) 23:12, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

message: To remove the phrase about how Davis rescues TV films from their schlocky scripts is taking POV standards to an absurd extreme.

thread_title:  Sounds like Nintendo Criticism to me. 

message: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=Ultra
::One of consequences was Nintendo's caution with the NES, especially in the US. Among Nintendo's many draconian protective measures was a hard cap on the number of games a company could produce each year; Nintendo figured that if companies could only make five games a year, they'd have to be good. (This didn't always happen, but that's neither here nor there.)
::Thing is, five games isn't a lot, for prolific developers and publishers, like Konami. Several successful publishers, including Konami and Acclaim, were straining under this limit, and petitioned Nintendo to allow them an exception. Nintendo did, by allowing those companies to publish additional games through semi-autonomous subsidiaries. Acclaim used a toy company they had purchased a couple years before (LJN), and, in 1987, Konami founded Ultra Software Corporation (a.k.a. Ultra Games) as a go-between to get around the limit.
::The Ultra logo is familiar to many NES owners from the time. It's simply "ULTRA" in bold white sans serif captials, with a series of thin red horizontal lines superimposed. "Games" in small grey capitals is below "ULTRA", aligned to the right.
More stuff there.  About their 5 game per year policy, and how they went ahead and let some developers get around that, if their sales were high enough.

Talk:Bertran de Born

message: Why is Bertran de Born in the category "Cephalophores"? That category's page says it is for saints who are depicted carrying their own heads, usually because they were executed by beheading. Bertran de Born is not a saint and we don't even know how he died. I cannot find any mention in the article of him being depicted carrying his own head for any other reason.
I'm not an expert in this field and it's quite possible that I'm missing something, so I'm posting here in case anyone can explain. 98.194.6.70 (talk) 22:01, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Easy to explain ... Hadn't seen this category before, but the justification is visual, in Doré's illustration of Dante, in which Bertran, in Hell, is depicted carrying his own head. A cephalophore etymologically doesn't have to be a saint, so on the basis of Dante and Doré, two reliable sources, Bertran in the afterlife can be described as a cephalophore. The most helpful solution, from the point of view of cephalophore-counters, would be to remove the restriction "saint" from the definition on the category page. But there is room for doubt whether such a category is really useful :) Andrew Dalby 12:20, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

The Dutch-language Wikipedia entries on the canals of Belgium clarify this -- https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertkanaal, especially the subsection on "Links with other canals/Verbinding met andere kanalen", and include more accurate illustrations.

message: Not having time to research this, I still want to point out the seemingly contradicting infos on the end of Conrad Helfrich’s career:
Here (English) it says: "He remained in command until his retirement from the navy on 1 January 1949."
The same date is mentioned in the German article, but there he isn’t called Lieutenant Admiral: "Vizeadmiral Helfrich trat am 1. Januar 1949 aus den Diensten der niederländischen Marine aus." 
But the Dutch article says: "Op 1 oktober 1948 ging hij met pensioen." meaning: "He retired on October 1st, 1948."
The English article seems to have been translated from the Dutch one, but later edited on this point, so it could well be a valid correction. Unfortunately, the reference link added in there doesn’t work anymore.
