Talk:Gilbert Adair

message: Shreevatsa's edit summary: let's see a reference calling both these works "unauthorized sequels". Sounds as if he's done something illegal :p
:It simply means he didn't have authorization from the authors' heirs.  (By contrast, Geraldine McCaughrean wrote a Peter Pan sequel which was authorized.)  It isn't an accusation, just a factual description of what Adair was doing.  Whether he needed authorization or not is a separate question, but since you bring it up, the Peter Pan book may have been illegal.  The copyright was still active in the UK (and elsewhere) at the time, but he never got sued, so it's not our place to say. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 14:28, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was also going to say something about only Peter Pan being under copyright. There's certainly no such thing as an "authorized" sequel of Through the Looking Glass — the author has been dead for more than a century, and the book is under public domain (and was, at the time Adair wrote his book), so it doesn't even make sense to talk of an "authorized sequel". So my impression is that there's no need to call attention to a sequel being "unauthorized"; it's implicit by default. Adding it there sounds odd. (I'm not even sure both books have been described as a sequel in most reviews etc.; we should use whatever phrase exists.) Shreevatsa (talk) 16:55, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think "unauthorized" is implicit at all.  The phrases "unauthorized sequel" and "authorized sequel" both exist in general use, indicating that people often feel a need to distinguish them.  There are sequels that have been authorized by the heirs of the original author, who have certain moral rights to the work which are independent of whether the work is under copyright in any given country.  Furthermore, in some countries the term of copyright is up to 100 years after the death of the author, so the Alice works were still under copyright in those places when Adair wrote Needle's Eye. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 21:37, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I pose the opposite question - how is she noteworthy?  Her only claim to any notability - and it's a very tenuous claim - is that her son was a famous painter.  I'm sure she was a very nice lady, but she, personally, did precisely nothing in her life that is worthy of an encyclopedia article.  I haven't checked, but I doubt we have articles on Rembrandt's mother, van Gogh's mother, Matisse's mother, Monet's mother etc etc - the only exception I would expect to find is Whistler's Mother.  --  JackofOz 13:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

message: As a quick heads-up, I think the lead section will need some substantial edits before the article's GA nomination. The lead should be briefly summarizing the rest of the article (preferably max. 3-4 paragraphs), but right now I'm seeing a ton of details here (some unnecessary) that aren't mentioned anywhere else in the article.

Talk:Dead Presidents (song)

message: Near the end of the music video, around 3:40, there is a small 2Pac reference.
AZ rolls the dice, Jay-Z﻿ says "Where He At, Where He At?", Kareem Biggs mentions "Looks like California...Lotta money there...Imma take all of it". The Notorious B.I.G rolls the dice and says "Who shot ya" as he rolls, then they all laugh.
Who Shot Ya being a possible diss track towards 2Pac. Kareem Biggs' comment is also controversial, as the east coast/west coast beef was also between hip hop moguls such as Biggs and Suge Knight. The scene also shows the solidarity of the east coast artists.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.147.75 (talk) Digidrago 12:24, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Alpha Brumage

message: Greetings!  I am one of the project editors for the University of Florida Wikipedia Project, and I've been cleaning up the biography of John J. Tigert, who was one of your early Wildcat athletic directors and basketball and football coaches.  He was also later the U.S. Commissioner of Education and the president of the University of Florida for 19 years.  One of your folks has placed UK coaching succession boxes at the bottom of the page, but the succession boxes are factually incorrect.  The info boxes list Tigert as coaching the Wildcats twice (1913 and again from 1915-1916).  I can find no authority for the 2nd stint as basketball coach; in fact, my sources list Alpha Brumage as the James Park as the UK coaches for those two years.  Can one of you super-duper Wildcat hoops fans help me out here?!  Thanks for sharing your knowledge.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:50, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Walker (mobility)

message: Frankly, "Zimmer frame" isn't just "often" used here in the UK; it's almost universal, and used as a genericised trademark in the same way that "Hoover" is used for "vacuum cleaner". Usage examples: BBC News, The Guardian. Actually a lot of people here would give you odd looks if you called it a "walker", because they'd be thinking of a baby walker! When we do use a generic term, it's "walking frame", as seen in that BBC article. 81.153.111.9 13:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Even though the article isn’t long, I propose to split it into two: "Walker (mobility)" and "Rollator".
Reasoning: On the Dutch Wikipedia, there’s an article "Rollator", but it can’t be linked to this English article (in the list of Languages in the left column) because that link is already in use for "Looprek" (Walker). 
I suspect this is the case for quite some Wikipedias.--Geke (talk) 16:17, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:The Historians' History of the World

message: There's really no substance to this article.
I love bibliographies; I live for bibliographies. Since each section gives in its front matter a list of authors on whom the work is "based chiefly upon", I thought it useful to add those names, both to give some substance beyond a bunch of empty headings to the article as well as a doorway for the would-be student of history. It is not easy, but I have done my best to align each initial + surname combo to the appropriate entry in either English or German (or, rarely, French or Italian) wikipedia. I shall endeavor to do the rest when I have the time. Furthermore, once this is done, I intend on translating those articles which have no English equivalent from the German.

Something tells me you're the perfect person to write an article about drinking.  But yes, "bibendum" is the gerund form of the Latin verb bibo, "to drink".  A more literal translation of "Nunc est bibendum" would be "Now is drinking," the gerund implying that "drinking" is what is going on, as opposed to anything else.  96.26.89.144 (talk) 19:35, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The word "brilliantly" has been removed from the article as per WP:PEACOCK.  A request for an objective meaning for the term and proof that the subject meets the objective meaning has been ignored.
The term had been removed before, with this edit, but was replaced with this edit and the summary "justified, and removal makes nonsense of the sentence". As stated before, a request was made asking how the term was justified, to which ther has been no reply.
I had considered replacing the word "brilliantly" with the less emotional "highly" but I realize that "highly" is still subjective. Surely there must be some objective way to quantify this "brilliance".

For example, the Arch of Augustus is listed as the Arco' d' Augusto, but the caption on the picture calls it the Arch of Augustus.  Is it typical to list things in Italian and then parenthetically in English or the other way around?  Or is there no standard for this type of thing?
