Talk:Kishka (prison cell)

message: I'm not really sure how much of this to use or what part might make a good block quote. But here its:
"Rawicz was transferred to an immense fortress prison in Kharkov, Ukraine, where he became the personal project of a huge, muscular--and inventively sadistic--NKVD major known as "The Bull." "He ran his interrogation interrogation sessions like an eminent surgeon, always showing off his skill before a changing crowd of junior officers," reflected Rawicz. "His methods were despicably ingenious." 
One of The Bull's preferred methods of breaking his subjects' will was to insert them in a kishka. No provision was made for the inmates' bodily functions and the kishkas were never cleaned. Each day, Rawicz would be hauled out of his tiny cell, hosed off, and sent to The Bull for interrogation and torture. And each day The Bull's profane anger with Rawicz grew as beatings, pistol-whippings, and cunning torments involving water and lights failed to induce the innocent man to sign a confession "All you have to do is put your name here and I will leave you alone," the torturer frequently bellowed as he shoved a thick finger at the confession. 
Nights in the filth and mire of the kishka bled seamlessly into days of protracted torment: beatings, pistol-whippings, repeated burnings with lit cigarettes, and a session of knife torture that left permanent scars on the chest. As the torture proceeded, the prisoner grew more resolute--and his tormentor began to grow frantic. 'The limit of endurance, I found, was long after a tortured body had cried in agony for relief,' observed Rawicz. 'I never consciously reached the final depth of capitulation. One small, steadfast part of my mind held to the unshakable idea that it was death to give in. So long as I wanted to live--and I was only a young man--I had that last, uttermost, strength of will to resist them, to push away that document which a scrawl of pen on paper might convert into my death warrant.'"

message: United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands is a part of Ryukyu administration controled by the US. Government of the Ryukyu Islands is another part of Ryukyu administration organied by the locals. So we should change the article name to "Administration of Ryukyu by the US", or something. Japanese term for "琉球政府 (Government of the Ryukyu Islands)" often include whole the administration both by the US and the locals.--Mochi (talk) 13:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: No obvious relation?

message: Adding this section gives undue credibility to an unreliable source that is clearly wrong. Wikipedia articles should reflect the mainstream consensus on topics. The mainstream consensus is that the Maya DID NOT adjust the Haab' to keep it in synch with the tropical year. You could cite numerous gold-standard references to back this up. If this was true it would have caused the synchronization between the Tzolk'in and Haab' in calendar rounds to change every four years. This is not true. The synchronization between the Tzolk'in and Haab' has been continuous from the pre-classic to the present day. Senor Cuete (talk) 16:37, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:D-Roy

message: Since the result was no consensus, I have edited the article to bring it up to standards. Most of the edits are self-explanatory. There are 2 which might not be:
#He probably was a regular hollow before becoming an arrancar, not a gillian. This is seen both by the method in which he supposedly became a hollow, and by the fact that we don't know if any of the 5 arrancar were gillian (I changed that in the hollow (Bleach) article too).
#D-Roy may actually be quite strong, but the other arrancar don't like him because he wasn't part of their creation (and maybe because he was an arrogant prick). The fact that he almost killed Chad (a 3rd-seat-to-lieutenant in level) in an instant shows that he isn't as weak as is assumed by many.

thread_title: Rules

message: I've played this game which is a variant of this called Difungo, but apparently it's a tradition at my high school, so there is no official source for this information, but pretty much it has these rules, where the lowest card is 3 (and the higher card classes are higher, such that a 3 of spades is higher than a 3 of clubs), and it goes up to King, then Ace, then 2. When someone gets 4 of a kind (all 4 of the same #), when they drop it it is "Difungo" and everything is reversed, such that the highest rank is the lowest and the lowest is now the highest, and the playing order is also reversed (clockwise motion would be counter clockwise). The rules a pretty simple, and it also has a ranking of President, VP, Neutral, Vice-Bitch (VB), Bitch. The President gets to ask the Bitch for 2 cards of the President's choosing (in exchange for 2 cards from the President's hand, of the President's choosing). The VP does the same to the VB, except with only 1 card. Whoever has the 3 of clubs (lowest card) starts the game. I don't know if this can be in the article or not, as there is no source or citation, as this is just what I've heard through others Jerr (talk) 22:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  made some revisions 

message: My edits included, the article has been modified from using "dai hin min" to "daihinmin." The former does not make much linguistic sense as they are not independent words, but morphemes that combine to make a word. Also, "diahugo" is not compliant with the hepburn romanization standard used at Wikipedia. The "dai hin min" and "daihugo" spellings may have appeared in some works (or maybe mere Internet forums), but are probably not worth mentioning (i.e. non-notable). —Tokek (talk) 12:00, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:A. N. Hornby

message: Nowhere in cricket's sources is A N Hornby called "Monkey Hornby".  True, his nickname was "Monkey", just as Ian Botham's is "Beefy".  Should we therefore redirect Ian Botham to Beefy Botham?  Hornby was always referred to by his initials, just as W G Grace was.  And W G Grace was intimately known as Gilly so should we redirect W G Grace to Gilly Grace?  I think not.
It is all very well recording nicknames as an additional piece of information to broaden our knowledge of the person's character a little, but to use one in the title of an article is going too far.  I am redirecting this to A N Hornby which is how he is known to cricket historians.  --Jack 02:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Boulder, West Virginia

message: I created this article. I know a lot more about this tiny little town (being a native of it, although I haven't lived there since I was 11) than I was able to put into the article, due to original reseach rules. Most of the information I have about this town is from either personal experience, or information from my grandparents, predominantly my grandfather, as he was born and raised there (and lived there until he was 72 years old when my grandparents moved). This is a tiny town...a very tiny one. (I, of all people should know, having grown up there, LOL.) There are few, if any sources available for an extensive history of this little town. I'm sorry that I couldn't include more than the location and see alsos, but with little (if any) literature existing with an extensive history, I couldn't put any more in, simply due to the rules against original research. I'm sorry. :-(
On a higher note, if someone could help me get the coordinates for this location on the map to include in the article, I'd really appreciate it. It would just help the article altogether I think to have the coordinates. :-) -WikiFiend90 02:53, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Those at the bottom who were included in the list of 100 Muslims: I think most should be removed as they are not about Krasniqi.

message: Hello everyone. I have rewritten the article as a whole and for the most part covers Krasniqi's life and is referenced as well. On the Bibliography section, there is a large list of references. I don't have time to seek out and find them or to know how much about Krasniqi they refer too. My position on that is to slim it down to only sources that cover him extensively.

Talk:The Dixie Cups

message: I would like to point out to someone that this page says that "Iko Iko" was recorded sometime in the mid 40's, but on the page for the song "Iko Iko", it states that it was written about 1950.  One of these references (or both) need to be corrected with the correct date.
:The All Music Guide quotes "Sugar Boy and his Cane Cutters" recording "Jock-a-Mo" in early 1954. The track was the forerunner version of The Dixie Cups eventual 1965 re-working - "Iko Iko". Sugar Boy was James "Sugar Boy" Crawford who is given at least, part songwriting credit, for the Dixie Cups' hit.  Accordingly, I have amended the two references to the year of 1954.
