Talk:1138 (number)

message: It has come to my attention that this article contains false information regarding the STAR WARS DVD's.  
   "In each of the prequel trilogy DVDs, a hidden Easter egg can be found by accessing the "Options" menu and entering "1138"."
   "On the Bonus DVD for the original trilogy release, a blooper reel can be found by entering "1138" from the "Video Games and Still Galleries" menu."
I own every STAR WARS DVD and have investigated this idea of the 'Easter eggs' only to find that it is false.  Either this is vandalism, somebody's idea of a prank or the details specified in the file are incorrect/incomplete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Troyvader (talk • contribs) 16:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

message: When I saw the Buckaroo Banzai note in "Other references", I had to call that into question.  The number as it's formatted (11-1-38) appears on a computer display, which in the 1980s often used two-digit years, and the date in question (November 1, 1938) was explicitly discussed as being related to the October 30th, 1938 broadcast of The War of the Worlds.  Is there anything in published materials (such as interviews or DVD commentary) to establish that the 11-1-38 formatting was meant as an 1138 reference? Kyojikasshu (talk) 03:13, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Maróczy Bind

message: I think that more and better information about the Maróczy bind in the references are needed. An article about it in the Chess Ninja magazine is not enough. Introgressive 17:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A better reference 

message: Okay we state Maróczy put some emphasis on what would lead to the position in 1906, but then there's a huge gap into the 1940s. 
Was these 1906 notes really sufficient all by themselves to establish the name for the position? Even though Maróczy apparently never used it himself?
Assuming the answer is "no not really" we must then add references in the subsequent years when the term "Maróczy bind" was starting to see usage.

Talk:Cerro Palenque

message: I was very surprised to find this entry.  I was part of the project that did the survey and original excavation at Cerro Palenque with Rosemary Joyce and have spent the last 26 years working in and around the valley.  Its well written, though needs some edits, which I'll supply shortly.  My main disagreement with the author is the attribution of the site as "Maya" and the discussion of the Ulua River as being the "maya frontier".  We don't know the language of the people who lived at Cerro Palenque and made Ulua Polychromes and fine paste ceramics, or how they identified themselves.  Its very likely people here, at this time, spoke more than one language, as indicated by their extensive networks of contacts with specific other places.  Maya (which of the many maya languages?) Toquegua, Lenca, and Tol are some of the languages that could have been spoken here.  The idea of the ulua river as some sort of maya frontier is based on an old fashioned notion of frontiers, now hopefully discarded in maya archaeology.  I can update this section with a more nuanced notion of the valley as a series of independent chiefdoms, each with their own set of external connections.  Finally I can straighten out the section on the origins of the project (as written it makes it sound like John Henderson was head of IHAH instead of the project in the valley).  Rsheptak 03:56, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice work on the recent rewrite, Rsheptak. This, plus a few other Honduran and Salvadoran archaeological articles could do with some more fine delineation and explanation re cultural/linguistic (non-)identification for these sites. If you've more insights on current views of southern peripheral zone archaeological cultures, it would be great to expand on them, and add to/revise such articles as Mesoamerica, Mesoamerican chronology and Geography of Mesoamerica.

message: :Faced with surmounting pressure, Yuan Shikai abdicated on March 22. He died soon after on June 6, and the National Protection War was proclaimed a success, with the provinces rescinding their declarations of independence.
Was the death really necessary for the NPW to be seen as a success? I would have assumed the provinces would have started to consider the war a success with the abdication. It would seem the death was just 'gravy'. But this is just speculation since I know next to nothing about the subject.

Talk:Flossie Wong-Staal

message: While Dr. Wong-Staal’s article is relatively detailed concerning her professional career, it omits the life details that humanize her and help make her a role model for many young women. The fact that she was the first woman in her family to even work outside the home is very casually omitted, even though it is one of the things that makes her stand out. I also feel like it would be useful to separate this page more into sections, as to make it more user-friendly for anyone trying to find specific information about Dr. Wong-Staal. I suggest having separate components for “personal life” (which is currently non-existent), “education”, “research”, “professional career” and finally “awards”. Maybe the expanded format would invite more people to contribute to the page as well. Given how marginalized women of color are in the scientific field, I think updating and expanding Dr. Wong-Staal’s page would be a great way to continue the process of bringing their contributions to the forefront of popular knowledge. I also find it interesting to note that Dr. Wong Staal is not even mentioned in the HIV/AIDS article in Wikipedia. Maybe even a section detailing any issues she’s had gaining recognition for her work would also be relevant. I also recommend adding a few newer pictures.
