Talk:Hyrieus

message: User:Pmanderson is offering the reader the assertion "Hyreius was childless and a widower when he became the father of Orion" as if he were writing a tidbit of biography — and without giving his source, if it isn't simply Bulfinch's Mythology. The source of this fable is a late one (it's Ovid's Fasti actually), in a context that turns myth into the kind of anecdotal chatter that is dear to Bulfinch, to painters of rococo ceilings, and, apparently, to User:Pmanderson. --Wetman 02:06, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: :The ancient source is Hyginus, who is plainly independent of Ovid, and (according to his modern translators) relying on older sources. The modern source here is not Bullfinch, but Kerenyi - as Wetman should know. I find this incivility grating. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 14:17, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And calling Ovid "late" compared to a genealogical figment from pseudo-Apollodorus is simply bizarre. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ps-Hyginus declares his authority for the story of Hyrieus and the urine-birth of Orion to be the poets Pindar and Aristomachus (who is otherwise unknown). Presumably Ovid and Parthenius (the Greek tutor of Virgil) who both refer to the same myth used one or both of these sources as well. Since Pindar recites myths of the oral tradition, one can presume that this version has very old roots -- the fact that he places Hyrieus on the island of Chios rather than in Boeotia, suggests a north Aegean tradition. Multiple Orion myths are hardly surprising, star myths were highly localised.  --Theranos 21:27, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Or Chios may indicate a confusion with Oenopion, as is not unlikely. But all this delves into the realm where our sources are conjecturing; which we should avoid if possible. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:USS Montana (ACR-13)

message: Parsecboy: Let me explain: English is not my native language.  Maybe you can help me polish my efforts. I firmly believe that this matter of the USS Montana taking the dead bodies in their coffins, from Veracruz to New York, is well worth mentioning.
One of the sources is this (free; lucky me!) New York Times article:
Vera Cruz Dead here on Warship
Let me try again. I could use your help.  I'll try to do my best to edit the article on the USS Montana, which is quite relevant to the history of Veracruz in 1914.
By the way, I am also contributing to clarify the erroneous entry for the acr1307 photo related to the USS Montana on NavSource Online: Cruiser Photo Archive. 
I couldn't care less for the article on the USS Wyoming.

thread_title:  Bodies of men killed in Veracruz 

message: Yes; I now realize that I was mistaken. Not on Nulton but on how I was going about setting his record straight.  I have got in touch with the History & Archives Division at  Naval History & Heritage Command
Louis M. Nulton was the commander of the USS Montana at Veracruz (April 28 to ca. May 5, 1914) and he may have gone ashore to meet with Admiral Fletcher and General Funston, but he most certainly did not lead a party prepared to engage in battle, as implied by the phrase "led a landing party ashore".
NHHC will be soon reviewing and presumably editing his biography, and afterwards we can enter the corrections in Wikipedia.  Not the other way around.

Talk:USS Honolulu (CL-48)

message: The article contains the text: "Reported to be one of two Brooklyn-class cruisers to be modernized, Savannah being the other, with twin 5in/38 guns, there is no photographic evidence of this happening,[6] and Mark 37 directors."  I'm willing to agree there is no photographic evidence of this happening: I can't find a post-repair picture of the ship.  But more importantly, who said it did happen?  Friedman discusses this point around p. 340 in his cruisers book, says that the Savannah repair was so expensive that she was the only Brooklyn to be rearmed, although three others were blistered.  Because Friedman says it never happened, I don't know what the point is in including the idea that maybe it did (and not being clear who asserted this in the first place), but that there is no proof.  I hate removing content that others thought important to add, but it just seems crazy to even mention this.  So I am removing all mention of it, including removal of "modernization" in the intro paragraph.Busaccsb (talk)

Talk:Red bean cake

message: Mizuyokan (Japan) is made without the outer shell of steamed dough,
 and instead of a paste, the mashed beans are mixed with gelatin, cooled
 for an extended period of time, and then cut into squares and served.
 Generally the cake is made by forming balls of dough and filling them
 with red bean paste, and then steaming the balls in a steamer or rice cooker.
These two sentences seem to be in direct conflict.  Is there more than one type of Japanese Red Bean Cake? B2xiao (talk) 22:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: "Red bean cake" as used in English is an umbrella term for any kind of pastry made with red bean paste.

Talk:The McGuire Twins

message: There are many biographical articles on people who are notable for being obese.  Look at List of the heaviest people.  Many of the people there have articles for no other reason than that they are extremely obese.  Billy and Benny McGuire won a Guinness World Record for obesity.  Apparently they were famous in the 70s as a wrestling tag-team.  I don't see why they should be denied an entry in Wikipedia, in light of the number of people who have entries based on their obesity alone.  Joie de Vivre 02:39, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is correct, but there is nothing to say about these twins other than that they featured in the Guinness Book of Records. Personally, I think some of those articles deserve to go (or be merged) as well. Robin S 02:51, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not really accurate.  There are many accounts online of their tag-team wrestling exploits.  If you think other articles need to go too that is an issue for those articles.  The McGuire twins are not any less notable than, say, Hottentot Venus, Rosalie Bradford or other such people deemed notable as "curiosities".  Joie de Vivre 03:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are accounts online of many things, but that is not to say that all of those things are worthy of a mention in Wikipedia. If you know of reasons why the twins merit an article, I would suggest mentioning those reasons within the article. Claiming that complaints against other articles should be confined to those articles is beside the point, since I only mentioned them in defence against one of your arguments for keeping this article.

Talk:USS San Diego (CL-53)

message: The official U.S. Navy web site http://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/s/san-diego-ii.html, referenced in this article, says 15.  If it is supposed to be 18, please find a legitimate OFFICIAL source that clearly states this as a fact.  I've found pictures and blogs talking about 18 battle stars, but the US Navy itself says 15.  Perhaps someone needs to point this out to the US Navy and have them correct their information?  Perhaps the 18 includes 3 battle stars for USS California (ACR-6), which was renamed USS San Diego (CA-6) and saw action in WWI? (if so, those 3 stars belong to the history of the ship, and should be mentioned as such, rather than stated as the awards of CL-53 specifically).
The point is, this issue requires clarification and legitimate proof before changing the article to say 18. I'm not arguing against the possibility of 18, I'm even pulling for those who want to say 18 - someone just needs to find the proper proof and convince the US Navy to change their website.
