Talk:James Thayer (author)

message: Wait till after what bar?
No maybe.
You didn't need me, but I haven't seen any bestsellers.
I stopped reading after the free one, but the one I paid for ended up in the hands of a Kentucky hillbilly. I don't know what happened to him, the paperback, or you.
The reason you didn't sue my brother is because you knew he was right on. I just sugar coated it. And you knew what I meant.
Generous offer, my foot. Thank God you had family obligations.
Maybe not your style, but my mother's.
Was my brother pimping or was he not a partner either.
Stetzer is the only one who tried to score and he failed. He did last and my brother said he married a spendaholic.
I knew enough and it drove me crazy.
I'm happy you found a remarkable woman and I hope your 2 daughters have better luck in Seattle than I did.
My husband would say keep it short or better yet, don't bother, but he's sleeping.
It would be embarrassing if the receptionist at the Lane, Powell...maybe the samo one who married Stetzer opened those letters first, but I didn't care, I had nothing to lose. Guess you knew enough. I knew enough and I blew that city.
And those were personal questions for an insurance man.
Cris is awake and he's making the coffee.
Till we meet again in heaven. At least that is where your eyes focused when we met at Harvard.
The only thing we had in common was our fathers were both wheat farmers. Mike did tell me some stuff that I thought was interesting.
The river was the most interesting pavilion at the SPOKANE world's fair. I have been  to many. Thanks for asking.
Coffee is ready. Goodbye.

Talk:Karaage

message: I suppose it isn't any violation of the Wikipedia guidelines, but I must say this article has some of the least appetizing pictures of karaage I have ever seen!  Karaage looks much more like the breaded and fried chicken that is commonly served at restaurants like KFC, although it sometimes includes sesame seeds or Japanese sauces.
Let's look for some better pictures, there are a million out there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.62.244.97 (talk) 17:05, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Need better pics

message: Currently, the article states: 
This information is taken directly from the cited Washington Post article. It may be possible that it's not correct. However, if anyone disagrees and wishes to change it, for example the recent edits by  saying that it's never marinated, and is always coated in both potato starch and flour, then published reliable sources, which are more authoritative and convincing than the Washington Post, must be provided. Please note that blogs or other low-quality or questionable sources, such as those by anonymous authors, or which do not have "a reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight", are generally not acceptable. Also, while experts are encouraged to edit Wikipedia, they should not make edits based on the authority of their personal experience or knowledge, particularly when they contradict an existing source. Thanks. --IamNotU (talk) 21:19, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations for preparation details 

message: At the moment, the description doesn't make it too clear how karaage differs from other breaded fried foods, like fried chicken. If it's just a regional variety, that's fine, but the article should at least try to acknowledge it. i.e. the article currently distinguishes between karaage and tempura but otherwise you'd think from reading it that nobody outside of Japan ever thought of breading and frying food before. 71.223.72.252 (talk) 18:38, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

message: "Jamie Suzanne" is the pseudonym of author Kimberly Morris.  It seems to me that if this article is to exist at all (doubtful) it should be about Morris, not the pseudonym.  The current article title is misspelled with two "z"s.  References I've found to far to support an article on Morris are these: Internet Movie Database;The Bay Area Writers League Conference, list of speakers;Mid-continent Public Library list of books.--Plad2 (talk) 13:52, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the links! So could we add to the article that Jamie Suzanne has also written at least some of the Sweet Valley Jr. High books (for example, Nina Kiriki Hoffman wrote Third Wheel)? And either here or elsewhere, could we list the ghostwriters of the Sweet Valley series? For example, here I’ve read that Linda Singleton ghostwrote SVT #59 (is she already mentioned in the article?), here that Ann M. Martin ghostwrote SVT #1, here and here, I think, that K. A. Applegate and her husband Michael Grant (young adult author) have ghostwritten SVT books, here that Jennifer Armstrong has ghostwritten SVK (and SVH) books, here that Dori Hillestad Butler has ghostwritten ten SVT books, and here, I think, that Rachel Plummer has ghostwritten SVT (and SVH) books.

Talk:Jan Campert

message: These are the words for the poem discussed in the article in case someone thinks it might be a good idea to include them in the article itself:
A cell is just two meters long
and scarce two meters wide;
smaller will be that plot of ground
which I have not yet tried,
where nameless I will lie at rest,
my cellmates at my side;
none of us eighteen gathered here
will see the eventide
Beloved, charming air and land
when Holland once was free!
But when our foes had conquered us,
there was no rest for me.
What can a man, upright and true,
attempt in such a plight?
Just kiss his child, and kiss his wife,
and fight the useless fight.
I knew the task I had begun,
the burdens I would bear, 
but hearts that are afire ignore
the dangers everywhere;
they know how once in this small land
we all were proud and free
before the cursed raper's hand
planned all things differently;
before the ones who break all oaths
performed this act of shame:
invaded Holland's low green land
and threatened us with flame'
before the ones who pride themselves
with German purity
forced a whole land beneath their rule
and plundered shamelessly.
The fierce pied piper of Berlin
now pipes his melody!
As sure as I will soon be dead
and never get to see
my love and never break the bread
or sleep again with her,
you must reject all that he bids--
that wily murderer!
Remember, you who read these words,
my comrades in distress
and also all their dear ones in
their deep unhappiness.
Remember, just as we have thought
of our own land and friends--
day always follows after night,
and darkness always ends.
I see how the first morning light
peeps through the small, high pane;
my God, please make my dying light;
if I committed sin
as everyone can sometimes fail,
grant me your grace, O God,
so that I walk out like a man
to face the firing squad.
Translated by Henrietta Ten Harmsel from the Dutch by Jan Campert.

Talk:E. Max Frye

message: Hello,
I see that you've usurped this page and prevent any more edits. That's fine. Max is not ashamed of being his mother's son, nor is he hiding his past as a model. He modeled in Paris, by the way, not Austria. His mother, who's has severe Alzheimer's now, has already been suffering from the early stages of the disease when she gave that interview. 
Since I can't make any more edits, I ask that you at least improve the style of the writing and add some information, such as that he's working on The Rising, change "script" to "screenplay", indicate the award that it receieved, mention Band of Brothers, etc. All that information is verifyable. See the paragraph below. Thanks.
E. Max Frye is an American screen and television writer born and raised in Oregon.  In 1982 he entered NYU's Tisch School of the Arts as an undergraduate.  His first feature length film, Something Wild, was released in 1986 and directed by Jonathan Demme.  It won an Edgar award for best screenplay from the Mystery Writers of America.  Since then he has worked in both film and television with such diverse personalities as Lars von Trier and Jerry Bruckheimer.  In 2001 he was nominated for an Emmy for his work on the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers .  Along with several film and television projects, he is currently writing a graphic novel entitled The Rising.   Issue #00 was released in August of this year.  The book will be published in 2011.

thread_title:  Soviet Jew 

message: I am a native speaker of Russian and in the infobox saw two words which are perfectly normal in this context in Russian, but cause doubts as to their equivalence in English.
In English I have never seen the word dramaturg while in Russian it means an author of plays for theatres and possibly film scripts / screenplays . scenarios, with the word scenarist reserved in Russian for the latter. The link from dramaturg leads to dramaturgy article, but I think that in English instead of dramaturg it could or should say playwright. Google found a video on who a dramaturg is at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ_Js-xUKWg, but I think this is not an author from what the speaker says.
Pedagog in Russian is an educator, a teacher, sometimes in a high-flown speech regoster, while here it means something like drama school professor, I guess. 
I am not a native speaker of English, so can anyone competent say whether these are appropriate in the English text. GregZak (talk) 16:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Elmer Clifton

message: Born Elmer Forsyth to Margaret Ellen Nicolle and Cecil Forsyth on March 14, 1890 (married 07 Dec 1889 in Toronto, ON, Canada).  It is unknown if Margaret and Cecil ever divorced however by the 1891 Census of Canada, Cecil was living with his family and indicated his marital status as single. 
Elmer moved to California with his mother, Margaret before 1910 and assumed surname of Clifton. Research shows Elmer may have had a stepfather by the name of John Clifton who was residing in Chicago in 1919.  There is a photo of Elmer, approx age 5, and the photographer is indicated as "Nicol & Son, Monmouth, Ill."  Family records indicate Margaret and Elmer may have resided for a time in Illinois prior to moving to California.
It is unknown if his mother ever remarried. In the 1910 Census of Los Angeles, she is listed as Margaret Owens. Her obituary has not been found or her social security death index information from the US.

Talk:List of British film directors

message: Surely it would make more sense to have a list of British film directors? Currently British film director redirects here, which is a bit ridiculous (and potentially offensive, despite the disclaimer about Scottish, Irish, etc directors who have lived in England). "England" and "English" are not the most ideal or relevant categories or points of reference for a list of directors, since the nationality of English - along with Welsh, Scottish, and many Northern Irish - film directors is British (by contrast, List of English monarchs, say, makes historical sense). This would require reorganisation by someone who knows more about film than I do, though! For the record, I'm English - but I think this page currently risks perpetuating the incorrect (though widespread, especially in the US) usage of the word "English" as a synonym for "British".
