Talk:TCB

message: why did Elvis, who was a very christian person and most of all loved Gospel music, tell the world that TCB meant such a stupid thing as Taking Care of Business, when we all know it meant Templars of Christian Brotherhood? You can read all about TCB in the book Templars of the Christian discuss any comments about this freemasonic organization. 83.36.179.184
Elvis Presley did not try to tell "the world" that "TCB" meant anything other than the meaning it had for him personally. It was just a favored Motto he had for himself that stood for: "Taking Care of Business" The lightning bolt that accompanies the three letters of "TCB" represents: "In a flash". He liked it and that is all it meant. Nothing more.

message: I noticed that the Elvis reference was removed. I do think that the topic is worth a Wikipedia entry, but I don't have the knowledge to write it. I mentioned it here in the hopes that someone will be spurred to write it. Although the acronym (and the concept) of "TCB" has different meanings, it's  commonly interpreted to mean Elvis's entourage and their approach to things.  Migp (talk) 17:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Category talk:Stock characters

message: You all know them: when (part of) the narration takes place in jail, there (almost) always are some muscle-bound bad guys, pumping iron. Sometimes they are more or less integrated into the story (e.g. confronting the protagonist). Isn't that sort of a stock character too?
Maybe there should even be a whole sub-category for inmate-characters (like the one who helps the protagonist when endangered by the alpha-male, or the somehow privileged (ex-)syndicate boss, permanently sattelized by a bunch of little talking muscleman to protect him)?
I hope you get what I mean, since I'm not a native Englisch speaker :)

message: It should be fairly obvious. "Nerd" was categorised as "Stereotype", "Geek" listed under "Stock character". There is not a stock character which isn't a sterotype, and no stereotype which could not become a stock character.

message: I've removed this from the organising category "prejudice and discrimination in fiction". Stock characters do not presuppose either prejudice or discrimination. The claim involves narrow and unencylcopaedic critical assumptions about what characters are and their function in literary works. Caricatures, on the other hand, may well be involved in such processes. But they are quite different things.  • DP •  {huh?} 16:20, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Spitz (band)

message: I am new here. I do not know whether to include the following information in the article about Spitz or not. And (anyway) I am new here and I do not know how to change the article about Spitz. Could some senior wikipedian please give feedback and - if necessary - be so kind and make the changes in the article? Thank you!
The wikipedia-article gives some information about the education of the band members, see section 
"About Spitz (...)
All of the members went to art school. Kusano and Tamura went to Tokyo Zokei University. Miwa and Sakiyama went to Bunka Fashion College. Miwa and Tamura were classmates in junior high school."
The site http://japanest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27550&page=1 gives more detailed information:
Masamune Kusano. 
Born on December 21, 1967 in Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. 
Graduated from Fukuoka Prefectural Jonan High School, as well as from Musashino Art University with a degree in Design.
Tetsuya Miwa. 
Born on May 17, 1967 in Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. 
Graduated from Fujieda Meisei High School and Bunka Fashion College.
Akihiro Tamura. 
Born on May 31, 1967 in Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. 
Graduated from Shizuoka Prefectural Fujieda East High School. 
Attended Tokyo Zokei University, but left before graduating.
Tatsuo Sakiyama.
Born on October 25, 1967 in Sano, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. 
Graduated from Tochigi Prefectural Sano High School and Bunka Fashion College.
The dates of birth are the same as given on the official website, see http://spitz.r-s.co.jp/profile/index.html
But otherwise I did not find any English sources to verify any of these details on their places of birth and educational background. Is this enough back-up for these detailed informations? And should such details about date and place of birth and education go into this article?
I would be grateful if some senior wikipedian could give feedback and - if necessary - be so kind and make the changes in the article. Thank you! 2010aurora (talk) 17:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
