This page should not have have a jewish classification, if it has  arabic content and spelling, for the name of this letter. The name of this page should be changed [and the arabic content removed], or the page should be reclassified under an arabic language portal -- with a separate, new page created, for the hebrew spelling of the name of this letter.

Talk:Antiope (mother of Amphion)

message: Someone must have noted in print what seems so obvious, that the figure of Zeus here is an Olympian intrusion in this archaic story of the successful mating of a satyr with Antiope. Satyrs in Olympian myth are not generally successful, are they: the insertion that the "satyr was really Zeus" brought the old Boeotian mytheme into line. If I had a citation, I'd add this.

message: :Some Christians also believe it to be a prefiguration of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
I've taken this out. Could whoever wrote this specify exactly which Christians believe it, and how, as, on its own, it reads as if it is nonsense (connecting Jesus's crucifixion to a metal snake on a stick is like connecting Jesus' crucifixion to canapes). --User talk:FDuffy 12:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh right, allegory, or more accurately simile. Writing it so that this was clear, with a link to allegory/simile, for example, would have explained that well. I'm not sure why the simile counts as noteworthy. We don't have a big discussion of the weather in the article cats, owing to the simile like cats and dogs, so I don't see a reason to include the simile like moses lifting the nehustan, unless the simile is noteworthy rather than once-off. And discussion of such a simile should really focus on the simile, not on a single instance of it being used. --User talk:FDuffy 21:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: But it is a prefiguration...a sign, if you will.  Jonah's three days in the belly of a fish were also used in that sense.  To most Christians, and as a sign to others, it is a significant reference. --Eltinwë 23:40, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The imperial dimensions given in the info box don't agree with the metric values. They appear to be those for the Matilda Mk II, a much larger tank.

message: The article says Lower Milanovac? also exists, further downstream but it nerver mentions any river? Is this town on a river? Rmhermen 23:22, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
I'm wondering why it was necessary to change "a city in Serbia" to "a city in Serbia and Montenegro."  I had thought that Serbia was a large enough geographical unit to describe where the town is while giving a bit more specific information than if the whole state union is given as its location.  For example, what if I wanted to know which president the people of this town had voted for, the president of Serbia or the president of Montenegro?  This is of course relevant to all geography articles about Serbia and Montenegro, but I don't know where/if this conversation would take place, if it's worth it.

Talk:Ian Penman

message: I had added Template:Inappropriate tone to this article, but on closer examination, I don't think there's much that can be done to save the second paragraph. I've removed it per WP:BLP, as it seems neither verifiable nor neutral. Consider:
* "Penman's elaborate syntax and self-centered prose served as a critical counterpoint and mirror to the New Romantic wave." What does this mean? This sounds like someone writing an essay, not an encyclopedia article. If this is worth including in the article (I'm not convinced that it is), it probably needs a citation – "according to [expert], [claims about Penman's writing]".
* "As NME's resident intellectual provocateur during the early 1980s, Penman was not as interested in music as his postmodernist rival, Paul Morley, which makes his writing less dated." This entire section sounds like unverifiable POV/writer's opinion.
* "Penman was the true test of NME fidelity, a contrast with the earnest 'muso' preoccupations of Melody Maker and the proletarian philistinism of Sounds." And this is gobbledygook. Again, it sounds like a line out of an essay or paper, and is badly biased. If there is something important buried in here, it's not going to be apparent to the majority of Wikipedia readers.
The rest of the article looks OK, though. →smably 19:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Chessmetrics has many shortcomings, particularly for 19th century players. Sometimes players drop off the list for several years at a time then come back, in the mean time a lesser player has taken over the number one ranking spot. Does anybody seriously believe Berthold Suhle was the world #1 player between 1865 and 1867? Another, perhaps more accurate historical rating system can be found at edochess.ca; they rate Dubois #5 at his peak, which sounds more realistic to me than #1.
