Talk:Alasdair Gray

thread_title: Retired?

message: There is a newish item not listed:
Fleck(2008 according to Amazon UK Alasdair Gray web page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alasdair-Gray/e/B000AQ3OI4/ref=sr_tc_img_2_0?qid=1287861008&sr=8-2-ent )
plus "A life in pictures" mentions numerous items of which he is illustrator. ALIP will probably elevate him to be a significant artist which is not particularly reflected in the article. (I always have loved his "adornment" of his books - ALIP re-casts my ideas, It could possibly be one of the greatest ever "Art Book"s - and hence his reputation as not just an author.)

thread_title:  Need help regarding replacing a photo. Help? 

message: I see we have a couple of  IPs trying to edit-war undue material about Gray's supposed anti-English attitude. I think the current wording is fair. Any thoughts?  The Huhsz (talk) 16:26, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: They're still at it.  Current wording is fair IMO.  I feel like this is part of a campaign to attack critics of England as Anglophobes, as they've also targeted Fintan O'Toole CiphriusKane (talk) 19:59, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The revision did not use the word "Anglophobe" or its cognates.  Pointing out that Gray wrote an essay at the end of his life that was expressly condemnatory of English emigration into Scotland (he was a writer - he knew the use of the word "settler" was pejorative since its redefinition by the APLA) is not POV.  He, in common with the majority of his compatriots, didn't like English people.  It's hardly an "attack". 2A00:23C6:7687:801:7D1F:8938:1723:352B (talk) 09:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Repeating a point just to stress his "Anglophobic" sentiments is undue.  Using weighted wording such as "condemned" is undue POV, and please provide a source that Gray and his "compatriots" disliked English people CiphriusKane (talk) 15:21, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Oregon, My Oregon

message: It would be interesting to find an old recording of this song being sung, since in the lyrics, Oregon is rhymed with both "on and on" and "sun." How was it pronounced in those days? Of course, there is a lot of license for rhymes, and there is singing enunciation and then speaking--but still. --Esprqii 18:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One of the sources has a sound file (just the music though), but does anyone recognize the tune? I'm wondering if it sounds like something more famous, like happy birthday to you, that would make it easier for readers to "visualize" the song. Anybody recognize the tune? Aboutmovies 19:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The music was written originally for this song. It does sound like a lot of other state songs, not to mention high school alma maters. (But nothing at all like the similarly named Maryland, My Maryland, which is O Tannenbaum) --Esprqii 19:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: FWIW, (original research) I seem to recall that in the public schools in Oregon in the 1970s it was pronounced to rhyme each time: "O-Ree-Gone" then "O-Ree-Gun". How strange. As far as the tune, maybe we could talk someone who has an actual singing voice into doing a spoken version of the article. Katr67 20:39, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Panic (The Smiths song)

message: Whats all this crap about the song being about Steve Wright playing Wham after a news story about Chernobyl?  Morrissey wrote "Panic" simply because he hated the crappy disco music being played in most night clubs at the time.  He thought it was pointless because it didn't relate to the things going on in his life. Thats why the lyrics say "Burn down the discos, hang the blessed DJ" - if it was about Steve Wright on Radio 1, he wouldn't have written "burn down the disco" would he.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.75.166 (talk) 00:04, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Obviously most, if not all, reliable sources for yer man will be in Spanish. The fact that there is little, or even no, stuff in English does not reduce anyone's notability, it merely highlights the lack of media coverage of art forms in other, non-English-speaking countries.

That's not entirely accurate, the person was limited to seeking 'reelection' as an incumbent after serving his/her first term (a one-term former governor OR a second, third, fouth term etc governor could seek reelection as an incumbent).
