Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles/Name order

message: There's already this page Wikipedia:Manual of Style for Japan-related articles/Naming order for voting on some of the issues, but I find it very hard to follow the votes on the different issues. Instead of being formatted User XXX, Issue 1,2,& 3, then User YYY..., It should have been Issue #1, Yes Votes / Not Votes, then Issue #2.... gK 08:02, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Please somebody check again or delete that reference to Thucydides. He died in 395 BC according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thucydides Quote:``Thucydides (between 460 and 455 BC - 395 BC) was an ancient Greek historian. Could it be Xenophon?
: The original source from which I took the "Thucydides" name reference was this article, although the name of ancient Helice in the context of Earthquake lights can be found in other articles/websites.
: Maybe we should ask the author of the article about his source. (Alberto Enriquez aenriquez{at}adn.com)

Talk:Percival

message: On the BBC television series Merlin, Percival is a large, strong commoner. After helping to free Camelot from the occupation of Morgana, Morgause, and their immortal army (which is supplied by a grail-like goblet called the Cup of Life), he is knighted along with Lancelot, Elyan and Gwaine, against the common practice that knights are only of noble birth. He is also one of the few Round Table knights to survive Arthur's death.
In the comic books based on the television series Gargoyles, Peredur fab Ragnal (Percival's Welsh name) achieves the Holy Grail and becomes the Fisher King. To honor his mentor, Arthur, he establishes a secret order who will guide the world to greater prosperity and progress, which eventually becomes the Illuminati. Part of achieving the Holy Grail is the bestowal of immense longevity - bordering on immortality - upon Peredur and his wife, Fleur (born as "Blanchefleur"), along with certain other members of the order being granted longer lifespans. He is still alive and even appears young by 1996, when his organization comes into conflict with the re-awakened Arthur and the other characters of the Gargoyles story.Gargoyles: Clan-Building - Vol 2, #7 - "The Rock" - 
A version of Percival appears in Season 5 of the American TV series Once Upon A Time in which he acts against Regina without Arthur's consent.
Patricia A. McKillip's 2016 novel Kingfisher includes many elements of the story of Percival and the Fisher King.  Young Pierce (Percival meaning "pierce the valley"), after a chance meeting with knights leaves his mother, who has sheltered him from the world, and travels to become a knight.  In chapter 3 he stays a night at the Kingfisher Inn, where there is an unusual procession preceding the evening meal involving a bleeding gaff, an old cauldron and a chandelier. Pierce also fails to ask a question and in the morning wakes to find no-one around and steals a magical knife.
In Philip Reeve's Here Lies Arthur, he appear as Peredur, son of Peredur Long-knife, who is raised as a woman by his mother, who had already lost many sons and her husband to war. He befriends the main character, Gwyna/Gwyn. He is one of the few major characters to survive to the end, and travels with Gwen (in a male disguise) as 'Peri', his childhood shortened name as a woman, playing a harp to Gwen's stories.

replies: text: Although I contributed most of the actual details to the expanded version, I did not commence the article and unlike some of the contributors around here who seem to wade in announced and begin to chop and change the work of others, I try to respect the work of others and go around their creations and this is why the two entries exist. However, the one valid reason for keeping an overview after merging the station topics under England, Scotland, etc., would be to reflect the legal stance of the UK towards broadcasting in general. However, if you would like to merge the material that is presently lumped under "UK" and reclassify it "land-based" and "offshore" headings for England, Scotland, etc., please go ahead. (If duplication then exists just delete the deleted items before merging, although some may contain fine details that can be added on to the other entries before deleting.) If you don't want to do this I will take the time to go over and clean it up by merging them since sufficient time has passed since the entire topic was expanded. MPLX/MH 16:17, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
