message: I changed the release date of Imaginaryland from 1999 to 1996, because it was almost assuredly released then. First of all, I bought it back in 1996. Second of all, while I cannot find a firm release date, here is a link to a Billboard article from December 1997 referencing the album:
http://books.google.com/books?id=0g0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=RA1-PA28&dq=billboard+imaginaryland&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hGxnT6GjGoj50gGE17XDCA&ved=0CEsQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q&f=false
And here is an Internet Archive capture of Win Records' website (the label of the album) from December 5, 1998, listing the album as part of their catalog:
http://web.archive.org/web/19990424122929/http://www.winrecords.com/wincatalog/catalog.html
From the same archive, here are quotes from reviews on the album:
http://web.archive.org/web/20000302013549/http://www.winrecords.com/winroster/petra.html
Looking over the catalog numbers in Win Records' catalog, Imaginaryland is Win020. Win019 and Win021 were both released in 1996, thus, the album was certainly released around the same time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayor of awesometown 38.117.204.170 (talk) 20:00, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Religious persecution by Christians

message: It's too hard to really keep track of comments on the voting page so I will try here.  How do people feel about my suggestion to have Religious persecution by Roman Catholics, Religious persecution by Puritans, etc.  I understand the relevance of this topic and I think it could be addressed on each religion's own page but, it's sad that some instances of this can and has filled books.  However, blanketting something as Christian persecution leads to great problems in my opinion because persecution was done on the group / societal level usually.  Anglican religious persecution didn't have to deal with Muslims, it dealt with Catholics while Catholics were closer to the Ottoman empire and well, there was that whole crusades thing.  As a whole this article cannot be coherent view and will just be generalizing about Christians.  If we break it into groups it is far easier to keep track of POV crusading and the worries about blanket statements about Christianity are less likely. gren 16:27, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Blue-grey limestone? 

message: The article says "It was made by Denis-Adrien Debouvrie". The reference that links to says "Debouvrie owns several restaurants in the Beenhouwersstraat - the most famous restaurant street in Brussels – and many more in the area around the Market Square. In 1985, Debouvrie also took the initiative to make Jeanneke Pis, a female version of Manneken Pis, the world famous bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin." Given that being a highly successful business man and good sculptor are both challenging careers that take a lot of time, I read that as saying he commissioned it, not that he was the artist who made it.--Prosfilaes (talk) 07:13, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Strix (mythology)

message: The way the Strix were described as nocturnal birds that suckled their young and drank blood, it sounds as if the Strix was actually a vampire bat.  Perhaps the ancient Greeks had encountered some vampire bats that had somehow managed to get to Europe from South America. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.97.252.34 (talk • contribs) 01:29, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In the article, it mentions that Pliny explicitly stated it wasn't a bat. Apparently, the Romans thought bats were birds though, so perhaps some behavior might have bled over. Corvus sapiens (talk) 17:55, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

message: # Does this really qualify as a creature in its own right? It appears the name of the creature was simply the Latin word for "owl", and all owls were considered to share the characteristics described in this article. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to have an article like Wolves in folklore, religion and mythology for owls, with a section about Ancient Rome, in which the Roman view on the creature is described, rather than keeping a separate article about the Latin word for owl? 
# I have issues with the use of :Category:Vampires on this article. Although there seems to be a linguistic relation to the words used by several Slavic languages for vampires, the owl of roman mythology, according to this article, exhibits no commonality with the vampire, other than being nocturnal, and the word apparently also came to be used for "witch" in several Slavic languages. I consider the Strix-Vampire connection far too weak to warrant categorization as a vampire. Yours, Ciaraleone (talk) 21:22, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: "Strix" was the Greek word for a specific type of owl that never existed. The word bled into other languages to describe a distinct entity and not real owls. I'd say it would be okay to have a separate article since the idea of strixes evolved past owls and the article Werewolf exists separately from Wolf. Corvus sapiens (talk) 17:55, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I just wrote the initial version, but it needs a lot more work.
First, all the accusations require presentation of some evidence. The way it is not doesn't look very neutral. I know these and other abuses of power by the KRRiT are well-documented, and a lot of information was published by (mostly) non-KRRiT media (the press, private radio and television) about them. But a lot of work is going to be needed to find it all, sort, and describe.
Second, most of the links lead nowhere, or to stubs.
