thread_title: 2005

message: I am Michael Counsell and my translation of Kieu is mentioned under the section, English Translations, and in footnote 4. This was correct a few years ago, but I would like you to update footnote 4 to read:
Bilingual edition published by Thé Gioi Publishers in Hanoi in 1994, and again in a beautifully illustrated edition in 2011. In 2012 the English verse section of this was published as an e-book on Amazon Kindle; for details and for Michael Counsell's biography go to www.amazon.com/author/revmichaelcounsell
I would like also to offer you a quotation of the opening lines from my translation to put beside the others in the section of sample translations:
It’s always been the same:
good fortune seldom came the way
of those endowed, they say,
with genius and a dainty face.
What tragedies take place
within each circling space of years!
‘Rich in good looks’ appears
to mean poor luck and tears of woe;
which may sound strange, I know,
but is not really so, I swear,
since Heaven everywhere
seems jealous of the fair of face.
(Verse translation by Michael Counsell)
You can contact me at mjrcounsell@hotmail.com
What are the chances of having a wikipedia article devoted to me, my career and my writings?
Thank you.

Talk:Running with Scissors

message: I understand that "running with scissors" is some kind of fixed expression(?), but what does it mean? /90.229.221.144 (talk), non-native English speaker, 11:45, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: What does "running with scissors" mean?

message: I believe that the expression originates as the title of one of a number of public safety films aimed at children, produced in the 1950's or 1960's by a particular director or producer.  These were shown in schools and were meant to show the hidden dangers of modern life.  "Running With Scissors" was specifically a film, or a segment of a film, about the danger of running while carrying a pair of scissors.  The gentleman who produced these films died some time in the 2000's decade and there was some publicity about him at the time.  This is all I recall from hearing articles broadcast on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Radio One at some time in that decade.
It would seem that the phrase "Running with Scissors" was taken up by an author as a metaphor in their memoir; once published, a film followed, and now the Internet is awash with links to these modern, secondary uses of the phrase.  In five minutes, I've been unable to find links to the original films and, as it's not a subject of particular interest to me, I'll let it lie there.  I do find it interesting to note how EVEN THIS DISAMBIGUATION PAGE has, to date, no links to the original use of the expression or the film in which it was used.  There would appear to be no Wikipedia article on them yet, or the person who built the disambiguation page was unaware of one.  
Remarkable and interesting.

message: "This is illegal in most tournaments, and often disapproved of in casual play."
In tournaments, obviously. But I've never had a problem using proxy cards in casual play when other players or I actually owned the card the proxy represents. It can be useful to avoid damage to more valuable cards that is usually sustained during gameplay. Casual players usually trust that no one will cheat by stacking proxies. Not as if there's much to gain by doing so. Does this statement only consider proxies used to represent cards the player does not own?

Once you've largely defeated the enemy power, you are no loner the Resistance, you are The Government. But I guess that doesn't sound so good...which is probably why they talk about Resistance now instead of Rebellion, because they want people to think of French maquis in WWII, not Confederate flags. Love it. Anyway, I don't ask because I wish an answer, but because if there is an explanation anyone has developed for this, it might be appropriate for this page.

If we're going to have it in the lead we should ideally find secondary sourcing saying that it's a common slogan; at the very least we would need more than one opinion piece saying the same thing in the body which we can then summarize in the lead, otherwise the best we can say is "Steve Lopez says X", which isn't leadworthy.  But at the moment there's a more basic problem that the Lopez piece (which would already be undue to summarize as the sole source of criticism in the lead) doesn't even actually say what we're citing it for.
