Talk:Bridgetown, Nova Scotia

message: While researching the town-twinnings of Bridgetown, Barbados, I came across this article written by the Barbadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It says that Bridgetown (Nova Scotia) was named after Bridgetown (Barbados) by a former Barbadian. But this PDF on the official website of Bridgetown (Nova Scotia) indicates it was named so after its own bridge. Can anyone shed some light on this? The web is not very helpful here and Germany is not exactly full of books about tiny towns in Canada. Thanks --Regani.de (talk) 13:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Musan County

message: it's a city in north korea, it mentioned in the movie 'The Children of the Secret State'- on google vidoeo and previously in discovery 
87.68.60.245 20:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The words "city" and "county" have specific meanings in the context of North and South Korea.  "City" is used as an English translation of the Korean si, and "county" for the Korean kun.  In this case, Musan is a gun, not a si.  Inside of Musan kun there's also Musan ŭp, i.e. the town of Musan.  However, this particular article is about the second-level division, Musan kun, not the third-level division, Musan ŭp.  Sorry if that's a bit confusing.  It would probably be good to indicate in the article that there is also Musan town.  --Reuben 07:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I want to create an article about the town of musan, which is mentioned in the movie 'the children of the secret state', possible to see in google video. how should it be called: musan (town)? musan town? town of musan? not good enaugh. tell me please how to call it Superzohar 20:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be most appropriate to put that information here, for now, since the town of Musan (Musan-ŭp, 무산읍) is just one administrative division of Musan county.  If there is enough material for a separate article, it should probably be at Musan (up), although I'm not certain; we don't have firm naming conventions for tertiary divs of North or South Korea at this point.  -- Visviva 20:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Howard Gould

message: The current article says Howard Gould never had children; his New York Times obituary states that he left a daughter, Ronda Muschenheim. - Nunh-huh 12:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it's not just Gould's obituary, but also that of Dr. Carl Muschenheim (New York Times, April 28, 1977, page 38) that attest to her existence and her connection to Gould ("He leaves his wife, the former Ronda K. Gould.....[etc.]"). I would expect her to be a child of Gould's first marriage, or an illegitimate daughter (another Times article calls her "the former Ronda Keane, daughter of the late actress Doris Keane"). - Nunh-huh 01:31, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Jacopo Zabarella

message: I came across this article and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing, given this is Wikipedia.  Sadly, but hardly surprisingly, it turns out to be plagiarised from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article of that name. 
So I have deleted it.  Examples of verbatim or near-verbatim:
:sciences are concerned with the eternal world of nature and thus are contemplative disciplines, whereas arts are concerned with the contingent world of human beings and thus are non-contemplative, productive activities. 
:According to Zabarella, each discipline can be distinguished from others both with respect to the object considered (res considerata) and with respect to the way of considering (modus considerandi). Natural philosophy deals with corporeal beings that have an inner principle of movement and differs both from metaphysics, which contemplates being as being, and from mathematics, which deals with abstracted beings. As a result, natural philosophy is autonomous and independent of both the other contemplative sciences.
:According to this method, the philosopher should first infer from the effect the existence of the cause. He uses either induction or resolution, also called demonstratio quia or demonstartion from the fact. 
:In a second step, in the so-called demonstratio propter quid or composition, the philosopher should infer from the cause to the effect. The effect is now known through its cause, and hence in a scientific manner. 
:Zabarella's clear and systematic interpretation of Aristotle's logic and natural philosophy was used as a basis for numerous Aristotelian textbooks printed in Germany. Also in the British Isles the Scholastic revival of the early seventeenth century owed much to Zabarella's writings. Even some modern scholars of Aristotle have still consulted his commentaries with profit.
Not all of it was plagarised.  However, to quote Dr Johnson "This essay is both good and original. Unfortunately the parts that are original are not good, and the parts that are good are not original. Dbuckner 12:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Roulette Records

message: In the article for Jimmie Rodgers (pop singer), who suffered severe head injuries during a traffic stop (whether from an accidental fall or a beating is much disputed), the article mentions that "singer Tommy James wrote that Morris Levy, the Mafia-connected head of Roulette Records, had arranged the attack in response to Rodgers' repeated demands for unpaid royalties he was due by the label." I thought about transcribing this accusation this article, but I'm torn about whether it should be included as it is simply a claim from another person's autobiography without other evidence.

message: The government section of the "Outline of Spain" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.
When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process.  Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.
Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

OTOH, although the word translates as “mechanical”, it is more of an insult along the lines of “plebean”, so (as the writer then talks about clockwork) it isn't clear if he is  insulting the book in a high-brow sort of way, or is just using a big word he doesn't fully understand.

At any rate, "everybody's right" is an option -- TF Clemens could have had a niece, named Flavia Domitilla, AND married her, which would not necessarily have been uncommon. 66.235.26.150 (talk) 12:26, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

message: The entire basis of this article, to include the validity of its current title, is not accepted by the majority of the scientific community. This is even stated in one of the page's main sources, which directly states that it is ignoring academic discussion of the matter, runs contrary to commonly-accepted opinion, and is generally the personal opinion of its sole author (Trifonov, 2012).
I have not analyzed the sources in detail, but those I did look at were of extremely poor quality. Single authors, anthropological preaching about what is fundamentally a scientific subject, etc. One even appears to now redirect to some kind of scam website?
Given that the cell theory of life is accepted by the large majority of experts, the fundamental nature of this article is rejected by most scientific sources - ergo, most do not agree that there can be any non-cellular life. In this regard, I propose page deletion if no credible academic sources can be found to substantiate this page's continued existence (per reason 7 of the Deletion policy).

1. Miko actually TRUSTS Durkon, as opposed to the other members. So, she might relay it, if not for point 2. 
2. Miko's job was to deliver a SEALED scroll to Lord Shojo, so she didn't know the contents of it. Therefore, it would be impossible for her to relay the message.

message: He isn't known to be able to cast Weather Control.  The one time he did so in the comic, he read it from a scroll, which according to D&D rules lets him cast it as long as it's on the list of spells his class will EVENTUTALLY be able to memorize, even if he isn't high enough level yet.
Of course, this doesn't conclusively mean that he isn't level 13 - it could be that he is in theory able to cast the spell on his own but hadn't prepared it that day.  It isn't known whether he scribed the scroll himself or bought it.
Still, the evidence as presented is insufficient.  -- Milo —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.171.2.42 (talk) 23:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
