Talk:Devon County League

message: :Is there any reason that all the clubs in this league were set up as xxx zzz A.F.C. rather the normal F.C. used in virtually every other competition? Some are A.F.C., some aren't, and I believe the same applies across the country. It also makes it a pain in sorting out links to these clubs from other pages, for instance the new Devon & Exeter League page that has just been started. One of the clubs in this league, Totnes & Dartington, isn't a F.C. or an A.F.C - it's an "SC" - Sports Club. My suggestion is to standardise on F.C. and if necessary, make a re-direct for ones with a different suffix. If, for instance, I want to make a page with all the F.A. Vase results for a particular season, I'll not want to be chasing around checking which way Wikipedia editors have named the club. - fchd 16:53, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

message: "For the third movement, Beethoven used variation techniques; he also did this in the second movement of his Quartet op. 127."

Talk:Jason Kendall

message: It's a common misperception that Kendall's ankle was broken in 2001. Initial reports from the day of the injury indicated that this was the case, but in fact, the ankle was merely dislocated in extreme fashion, such that the intact bone was pushed through the skin without having been broken.

Talk:Second city of the United Kingdom

message: The holder of the "Second city of the United Kingdom" can never be declared, since it is not an official designation and, as this talk page demonstrates, is hotly debated.  
However, the article was quite clearly demonstrating an opinion that swayed towards Birmingham and, to a lesser degree, Manchester.   There are sources to be found that argue for different cities, so it is not neutral to cite one of these and declare it as the one that has "generally been regarded".  Regarded by who, other than the single cite provided?  Equally we have the weaselly "considered by many".  Who are these "many"?  Other cities can equally make the same claims.
In the absence of an official title, all this article can do is list, in a balanced way, the cities that have been put forward for it.  Summing up of these to declare any one "the winner" is dangerously close to original synthesis and expressing an opinion.   Let the reader read the article and reach their own opinion.  --Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:15, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

:Sorry mate, I'm a bit of an authority (HA!) and I'm not too sure meself, Noel Gallagher rarely releases such information. It was released in 1997. It is from the album Be Here Now. Gallagher has, however commented (or implied) that most, if not all, of the songs on that album were written between the album and the Morning Glory ablum. That would indicate it was written between late 1995 at the very latest, early 1997 at the verey earliest. Most likely 1996. Out of interest, why do you need to know?

:That shifts the imperative from nolere to tangere (and gets rid of nolere altogether), and it uses the future imperative. It's more literally "don't touch me". Why did she use that, though? Did it fit the meter better? Adam Bishop 14:47, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: merge discussion

message: I'd say: 'Noli me tangere', could be translated into: 'Don't touch me', but in a more 'idiom-like' reading, a translation may be: 'Don't knead me', 'Don't rub me', a warning/request of not going too far or too insistent in body or physical expressions of affection. In the Catholic frame, saint Therese of Liseux renounced to all physical contacts in her last year of life, as an ascetic exercise, perhaps skin contact having most times an erotic content. I heard, not many decades ago, similar expressions dedicated to kids who stuck to their parents or relatives in an sticky way. Does this make any sense?
