Talk:Jack (connector)

message: I don't get this. A socket is defined as (among other things) a jack, and a jack as a socket. I'm not a native English speaker, but I thought socket was a female connector, and jack (aka plug) a male one. This fits the last paragraph in Jack about Jill. Is the point that originally, jack was the female socket, but then plugs fitting into it were called jack plugs, and then sometimes plug was dropped, so that it became just jack? Or are sockets not necessarily female? Or is it just incorrect that jack are sockets and sockets are jacks? Or have I misunderstood the whole thing?--Niels Ø 09:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: In a nutshell

message: It may be a good idea to emphasize that Schopenhauer did not consider the main importance of art to be its cognitive value. Art is not important merely because it affords an opportunity to acquire knowledge of the represented object or of its Platonic Idea. For Schopenhauer, art is of major importance because of the pleasure that it affords. The pleasure is totally negative in that it consists of the absence of willing. Art takes the person, who is a mere spectator, temporarily out of his/her everyday life of wanting, desiring, and striving. For confirmation, just look at the faces of people who are engrossed in watching a fascinating film or reading a gripping novel.Lestrade (talk) 17:20, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Jackie Brenston

message: *I've made a few wording changes aimed at getting the right balance between Ike Turner's contribution - obviously massive as bandleader and one which should not be downplayed - and Brenston's.  The evidence seems to me to point to Brenston having a major contribution to "Rocket 88" - as singer, and as a lead in rewriting the earlier "Cadillac Boogie".  To quote the Tosches book (which I have now cited as a source) : "It was Jackie Brenston's song, but he had derived it from .. "Cadillac Boogie"... Far from hiding this unoriginality, Brenston openly admitted it.. The band made four more recordings that day, with Ike Turner singing on two of them...  Chess released two singles by the group .. The coupled sides that featured Turner's voice bore on their labels the credit Ike Turner and His Kings of Rhythm.  That was how it should have been, and Ike was pleased.  The other single, however, was credited to Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats.  This, in the eyes of Ike Turner, known no more then than now for his magnanimity and humility, was not how it should have been, and he was displeased.  His displeasure grew more pronounced as it became more apparent that the single that bore Brenston's name, rather than the one which bore his own, was going to be a hit.... As time went on, Turner stepped forward from piano to guitar, allowing there to be no mistaking who the leader of his band was."  I accept that this is a POV quote, but equally I think that the view that Turner was solely responsible for the success of "Rocket 88" is disrespectful to Brenston, hence my attempt to balance the text (also at "Rocket 88") Ghmyrtle 10:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:St. Francis Xavier (disambiguation)

message: In the interest of avoiding confusion for future editors, I'm adding the following notes...There are three interconnected dab pages related to the main article, St. Francis Xavier.  They are Xavier, St. Xavier (disambiguation), and St. Francis Xavier (disambiguation). I have sorted the dab links based on the actual names used by the schools which are listed.  Therefore, if only the name Xavier is used, the link appears on the Xavier page.  If the name used is St. Xavier or some variation (Saint Xavier, St. Xavier's), then it goes on St. Xavier (disambiguation).  If the name includes St. and Francis and Xavier or Xavier's, then it appears on St. Francis Xavier (disambiguation).  I have also changed all redirects to follow this convention.  The two dab pages with Saint in the title both have a link in the intro line to St. Francis Xavier (main article), and of course all the pages have links to each other under See also.

Talk:Tallow

message: The following sentence:
"Before switching to pure vegetable oil in 1990, McDonald's corporation cooked its french fries in a mixture of 93% beef tallow and 7% cottonseed oil."
Is incorrect, in the sentence it states 1990 as the change date, however, I have a box her of Mac Fries™ that I have used for packing our punch bowl and on it it clearly says "Use before 92 FE 16 C LT 136 06:54 C" and on the box the Ingredients: "potatoes, beef tallow, vegetable oil, may contain dextrose and sodium acid pyrophosphate.", so clearly this change did not happen in 1990.  So I am changing the page to read "in the 1990's".

Talk:Naga Kingdom

message: Because of their prominence in Buddhism, Naga lore is familiar throughout Tibet and the Sinoshere, where they are conflated and identified with Chinese dragons. When an important Mahayana scripture first appeared in Korea in the 6th century, it's authors claimed one of them had been taken to the undersea palace of the Naga king to retrieve it from safekeeping there. This story was good enough for the scripture to be received as canonical, as described in:
The Formation of Ch'an Ideology in China and Korea: The 'Vajrasamadhi-Sutra', a Buddhist Apocryphon, by Robert E. Buswell (1989)
Even Euro-americans exploring and converting to Buddhism quickly become familiar with Naga lore. Nichiren Buddhists all over the Western Hemisphere, for example, can recite the enlightenment story of the Naga girl / Dragon king's daughter in the Lotus Sutra.

replies: text: I've only ever heard "image song" used in English to refer to character songs, though perhaps it is used in other contexts outside of anime fandom.  Regardless of whether "image song" and "character song" mean the same thing, this article seems to be about songs sung by an actor in character, and not about insert songs, advertising jingles, and theme songs.  I don't think the article is at all confusing in terms of what it is about, and it is just a matter or which title is best.  I've always know this type of song as "image songs", but searching Anime News Network, both "image song" and "character song" seem to be used in their news stories.  If "image song" really is ambiguous, then this should probably be moved to Character song, but otherwise I think either title is fine. Calathan (talk) 07:02, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
