Talk:Whale (band)

message: The pre-"We Care" discography for the band -- including longer versions of the "Whale" name and a series of Swedish-only albums -- was a joke perpetrated in the late '90s on the Whale website. They never changed their name, and they never released an album previous to "We Care."
The site listed a backstory in which the band changed their name from "Southern Whale Cult" to "Whale Cult," and then "The Whale," and finally "Whale." This was a spoof on the history of band "The Cult" (originally "Southern Death Cult"). They also had images of fake album covers and descriptions of the album contents.
Cia Soro was in contact with many fans (including me) but she always sidestepped these albums when politely asked about them. After harassing a Virgin record exec about re-releasing the backcatalog, he and I were both embarassed to discover that we'd been fooled; he reported that it was all a joke. Soro thought it was all very funny.
Still, biographies of the band continue to list those albums. Kudos to the band for fooling so many of us for so long, but Wikipedia should probably have the facts: two albums, no name change. 209.183.151.182 (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infobox problems 

message: According to the cover images at Discogs (), the 1993 release was called "Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe" (no apostrophe) and the 1995 re-release "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" (with apostrophe). In either case there could have been a typo or it could have been done for stylistic reasons. It may be worth amending the 1993 release in the discography to remove the apostrophe, though there could also be an argument for consistency. --Jameboy (talk) 16:47, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Rising sun flag

message: :The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The reasons. - This flag is not just for Imperial Japanese Navy. The other political organizations used this flag and also sometimes the army. This is kind of misleading and not wholesome. - The official Japanese name states that this is "rising sun" Kyokujitsu-ki (the sun-with rays-flag). Kyokujitsu also was part of the name of the Order of the Rising Sun order. 
Therefore I think this should be moved more approppriately to the Rising sun flag

Talk:Witch (American band)

message: Uh...WTF is "Hipster Metal"?!!  That seems like a contradiction in terms...looking at current mainstream music, actual Metal seems to be considered anything *but* hip.  If this was "hipster" anything, wouldn't it be getting radio play?  I certainly haven't heard it on any radio station...it was pure luck I even managed to hear them in the first place (some guy in a record store recommended them to me & a friend).  I've got this CD and it sounds pretty much like old-fashioned Heavy Metal, almost Proto-Metal, Black Sabbath-ish stuff.   67.62.112.215 20:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Hipster Metal"? 

message: I'm editing the classification as stoner metal. The band's official page at Tee Pee Records explicitly says "On their eponymous debut album, this line-up mounts a mighty sonic tumult that harkens back to classic heavy metal sound of early 70's outfits while still sounding modern in it's assault (and without falling into the ubiquitous "Stoner Rock" pigeonhole)." I don't think Stoner Metal is what fits the best to Witch.
Witch is cassified as Doom Metal here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_doom_metal_bands . Therefore i'm inclined to call it that. If someone disagrees, please respond to this. --86.205.14.154 15:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Air Ministry

message: the openeing statement "The Air Ministry was a department of the Government of the United Kingdom with the responsibility of managing the affairs of the Royal Air Force," is incorrect.
The Air Ministry was in fact "a department of the Government of the United Kingdom" with the responsibility of managing "British Aviation and Aeronautics" , both the Service (Royal Air Force) and the Civil (Civilian Aviation) sides of British Aviation. 
Created in 1918, the Department took up the authority for Control of Civilian Aviation beginning in 1919.
An extensive but not exhaustive collection of "air ministry" documents relating to Civil Aviation can be found here https://archive.org/details/@air-researcher and should be read by any who create or edit refreences to the UK air Ministry as many of these documents were presented to Parliament and wound up in the Libraries of Universities but were rarely - if ever - read by the "common" person.

Talk:Royal Lao Air Force

message: Nota bene–
As an eyewitness, WP does not consider me a reliable source. However, I was stationed at Luang Prabang in March 1970 when the NVA sappers blew up seven T-28s. The official sources say 17, and that is what I wrote into the article rather than ignore a rather important incident. However, between September 1969 and March 1971, which was when I was there, LP never based more than 12 T-28s, and often there were no more than seven or eight.
On the night in question, there were nine T-28s on hand. The sappers caught the Lao guards sleeping on the runway's edge, lined up in a neat huddle, and blew off all four of their heads with one long blast of AK47 fire. They then chucked satchel charges into the cockpits of two T-28s, placed charges under five more, and placed a charge against the fuel dump. The latter charge blew a bunch of empty 55 gallon drums about. The two unbombed T-28s were damaged, but flyable. They were flown south to Udorn for repair. The seven destroyed ones were scraped up using a bomb loader and a small bulldozer and deposited in the drainage ditch on the far side of the runway. Replacement planes arrived the following day, and we were back in business.
When the blasts woke us up, we (the Air Commando Team) scrambled to the second floor of our villa in town and remained on armed alert until dawn. When our Lao cook arrived, it was obvious the emergency was over, and we stood down.
Just remember. None of the above is reliable. It is only true.
