Talk:Bilbo's Last Song

message: This page has the following text:
: After Tolkien's death in 1973 Hill showed the poem to Donald Swann, who liked the poem so much that he set it to music and included it in the second edition of The Road Goes Ever On in 1978.
If you listen to the CD accompanying the third edition of The Road Goes Ever On song cycle, Swann himself has a spoken introduction to this song that tells this story.
And that matches the story on this page of the Donald Swann website  as well.
So I think this version of history is extremely probable.
But then, how can we explain that this page of the Donald Swann website  lists "Bilbo's Last Song" as something he performed in concert on his tour of Dec 1966 - April 1967?
I suspect that the Swann website is in error (since this page seems to contradict the other page) but I submit this mystery to you Tolkien experts for explanation....  Lawrence King 08:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It must be an error on the website. Tolkien gave the poem to Joy Hill on 09/03/1970... the exact date he wrote it is unknown, but generally assumed to be around that time. Even supposing that the poem existed in 1966 the likelihood that Swann would have seen it (before Hill did - despite Swann's own statement that she showed it to him), set it to music, and been performing it... well there is no likelihood, it just isn't credible. If nothing else, that likely would have prevented Hill from getting it copyrighted in 1974. Whoever set up the website for Swann must have made a mistake. --CBD ☎ ✉ 23:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

:I don't see any reference to the text in RotK -- both versions. Pauline Baynes' pictures are possibly referenced, some of the film's epilogue scenes closely resemble the pictures, but as both are based on ROTK's last chapter's text this probably is due to both poem/pictures and film having their base in the book. -- Jordi·✆ 12:38, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Films 

message: A few years back, I was browsing Wiki, and I noticed the link to this poem down at the bottom of the page. It was the first time I'd ever seen or heard of a poem entitled "Bilbo's Last Song." I never would have found it without Wiki. Thanks.
Response to "Thanks"
To be clear, the link at the bottom of the page leads to "Bilbo's Song", not "Bilbo's Last Song". It is provided as a way of differentiating between the two songs and proving (by virtue of showing the lyrics) that "Bilbo's Song" as heard in the movie, is not "Bilbo's Last Song" (as a previous edit on this page asserted).

Talk:Bhel puri

message: Judging from these mentions of Mumbai in the current article:
* a type of chaat synonymous with the beaches of Mumbai (Bombay), such as Chowpatty.
* Bhelpuri in Mumbai,
* Other types of cuisines available on the beaches of Mumbai include pani puri, cham cham, Kachoori, ragda, and pav bhaji.
* It later got merged with Mumbai culture and became synonymous with Mumbai.

Talk:Traditional metal

message: This page as a POV feel to me and really has no basis for being a page.  Though Traditional Metal makes sense as the original form of Heavy Metal, it has no historical basis and the actual style of Traditional Metal could be heavily disputed.  Of the four bands listed as the progenitors, I usually only see Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple mentioned.  Besides that Deep Purple do not consider themselves to be a Heavy Metal Band and I believe Led Zeppelin would have similar feelings.  I feel fairly strongly that this page should be deleted as no style known as Traditional Metal exists and a much better history of early Heavy Metal can be found in that entry. marnues 09:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

What standard are we using to determine what gets put here and what not? Are all the States of the United States of America or India going to get placed here? Entities that have defacto independence or separation (e.g, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Somaliland, or Kosovo) should probably be placed up, or territories that aren't fully integrated into a nation (e.g. Puerto Rico or Hong Kong probably should remain).
