Talk:The Big Picture (American TV series)

message: After The Big Picture left ABC in 1959, it was repeated by local TV stations across the country, usually prior to sign-off on weekends (either on Saturdays or Sundays).  One such station was WPIX, Channel 11 in New York City.  I noticed reading Les Brown's book Encyclopedia of Television dealing with the decade-long WPIX license challenge (1969–1979) that, in one example of the news faking detailed in the book that formed the basis for this challenge by Forum Communications, Inc., "footage from old military training films" (or words to that effect as in Mr. Brown's tome) were seen on the screen with the words "Via Satellite" displayed.  Would any New Yorker reading this entry and/or discussion page who was around during that period know whether or not such footage would have originated from The Big Picture and, therefore, would the show have played a part, however indirectly, in the station's very nearly losing its license, and the years of litigation that followed - not to mention channel 11's news division becoming the bad joke of the industry up until the late 1970s? –Wbwn 18:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

:Although she's getting on a bit now, my Rhode Island Red used to lay one egg a day. Egg production tends to reduce as the hen gets older. It also depends on the breed; Rhode Island Reds, followed closely by Sussex are the best layers, others, such as meat birds like Orpingtons are not so good. Sign your posts!

Talk:Loie Fuller

message: I think the claim that  Mollie Fuller is the sister of Loie Fuller is erroneous, and have removed it.  While it is mentioned in passing in Mollie's (but not Loie's) entry in Who's Who on the Stage (1906), this appears to be the sole 'reliable' source of the claim. Other contemporary sources explicitly refute kinship: The San Francisco Call in 1897 printed a correction to a previous piece, stating: "'Mollie Fuller is not a sister of La Loie Fuller' is the way it should have appeared." Similarly, The Helena Independent in 1892 notes: "Mollie Fuller (no relative to Loie Fuller, the inventor of the dance, by the way)...". In Loie's Fuller's own memoir, Fifteen Years of a Dancer's Life she writes of being mistaken for Mollie: Then I understood that he had taken me for one of his old friends. "I know whom you mean" I answered, but I am not Mollie Fuller. Mollie Fuller is very well known in the United States, where she is imitating my dances. We are often mistaken for each other, but you must realise that this isn't the same person. Nowhere in the book does Loie refer to Mollie, or anyone else, as a sister. Loie's 1997 biography, Loie Fuller, Goddess of Light, speaks only of brothers, no sisters, and mentions Mollie only in a note invoking possible mistaken identity: "Mollie Fuller, a fairly well known actress at the time...". Had these two actually been sisters, it is probable more biographers would have mentioned it.  There are a lot of unreliable blogs and websites that recycle the sisterhood claim, but unless more conclusive, authoritative sources can be found, I think the weight of evidence is against sisterhood. --Animalparty!

Talk:Attorney General of Kentucky

message: The dates of John Marshall Harlan's term as KY AG are way off. According to the American National Biography Online, Harlan was elected to the position in 1863 and lost his re-election campaign for the office in 1868, not 1861 and 1865 respectively. To make matters worse, Harlan's own article does not seem to be in line with ANBO, as the end date of his term is listed as 1867, a year before he even lost his campaign for re-election. The dates of the tenures of the past KY AGs' badly need to be fixed. --1990'sguy (talk) 15:48, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wullie/Willie 

message: (Personal life section)
If Wattie was born in July 1956, he would have become "interested in punk rock at age seventeen after hearing the Sex Pistols" in 1973 and 1974.
According to the Wikipedia article on the Sex Pistols, the band did not even exist until 1975, only an earlier incarnation without Lydon called the Strand.
Checking reference 4 (which admittedly I have only scanned over) confuses matters slightly. It says "Buchan discovered British punk in 1977. Bands such as the Sex Pistols wowed the 17-year-old," which doesn't even agree with his birth being 1956. Of the two references for his date of birth, 1 doesn't seem to mention it, and 2 is now dead.
Basically, something is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.31.187.73 (talk) 16:28, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Though there is widespread agreement that his birthday was September 5, there is apparently some disagreement over the year.

Other sources (including Geni, WorldCat, Who's Who in America, Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography, and contemporary obituaries) give his year of birth as 1835.

replies: text: The synopsis has changed back and forth several times in the past between "raped" and "seduced". The fact is that the film is ambiguous. Was she out cold, or was she in a state of nervous exhaustion and did she accept his "loving"? Either interpretation is possible. But Thymian never says "he raped me", and the intertitles never use the word. IMHO it is better not to state it as a categorical fact.  Scolaire (talk) 13:55, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

text: The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation (bold in original). Find a reliable, published source that says it was rape, not seduction, and you can change it.  Scolaire (talk) 12:48, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Nope, that relates to the book, not the film. Please click on my reference where you will see a proper published source i.e. an academic book which says "seduced". Here is the link, to save you going back to the article.  Scolaire (talk) 16:22, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I was under the impression that it was a seduction, since she shows no signs of being traumatized the next day. However, now that I think about it, both seduction and rape are WP:OR. The viewer is not shown what happened. Therefore I've changed the wording to "takes advantage of". Clarityfiend (talk) 02:17, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you misunderstand OR. OR is anything that does not appear in reliable, published sources. The fact in question here - that she was seduced - is stated in Marked Women: Prostitutes and Prostitution in the Cinema, by Russell Campbell: "Thymian, upset, is seduced by Hennings sleazy assistant, Meinert." Therefore it fulfils WP:V, WP:RS and WP:NOR. "Takes advantage of", unfortunately, doesn't.  Scolaire (talk) 07:58, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

message: The lede states that Tabula "is generally thought to be the direct ancestor of modern backgammon." This is not borne out by the evidence. The earliest reference to backgammon dates to about 1646, centuries after Zeno. Backgammon was one of a family of games then played on tables boards. Whether it was a new tables game or derived from an earlier game with a different name is not yet clear.
