Talk:Pinball history

message: This page was designated for cleanup by Oni Lukos.  I absolutely agree that it needs lots of cleanup (this page was copied as is and then removed from the original pinball page).  However, it would be helpful to list what needs to be changed - make suggestions, etc.  I also feel that it really needs a link back to the original pinball page - heck the pages need a navigation menu to get between the pages.

message: The Shadow specifically refers to Hans Christian Andersen and perhaps should be seen as being based on Andersen's 1847 story of that name, rather than on Chamisso.
The Dragon is the play with the most overt political message, but The Shadow is much more subtle and varied, and contains delightful word-play. In Russia itself, it was The Naked King that was always mentioned in connection with Shvarts.

message: I just found old artifacts (about 100 rusted metal cans and containers) on my property near Lac Notre-Dame.  After seaching the Internet, I discovered that most of those cans were actually oil containers made between 1946-1948 by British American Oil company.

message: Is ground plate a synonym for sill? Moberg (talk) 08:32, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ground plate

message: A plate is a major, load bearing, horizontal timber in a wall. The term wall plate is extremely vague and in my studied opinion would be more likely to be a top plate than a sill plate, but any meaning is possible. The word plate is not used in practice in the U.S., a sill is simply called a sill, not a sill plate. Interesting point that a window has a sill but not a plate but a lintel. A ground plate is the same as a sill. Sometimes sills used to be called ground sill or groundsel, particularly if they lay directly on the soil. Mud sill is another name.

Talk:Statesman (dialogue)

message: I am new to having an account on wiki, but what is the way to get the sites attention on this page? Many of Plato's dialogues have admirable synopses and information, but this one is woefully inadequate. I am only an undergraduate philosophy student, so it would be hubristic of myself to make official emendations to this page. I could possibly contribute to other pages (at least in the talk sections) on dialogues I've studied closely, but alas this is not one of them. I write this because I was earnestly looking to find a synopsis, because on the page for Plato's Laws, it says that the Laws is Plato's only undisputed dialogue that does not feature Socrates in it. But this Statesman page does not offer any information on authenticity issues, and the Statesmen features the Eleatic Stranger as the human who leads the dialogue in a fashion reminiscent of Socrates, but not quite a full imitation. Phaenarete (talk) 07:36, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Status Anxiety

message: This article makes it sound as if "status anxiety" was a concept invented by writer Alain de Botton in 2004. However, the concept was minted already in 1954 by the German-American political scientist Franz Neumann, at a lecture he held before the Free University of Berlin: “Angst und Politik”. It was published later that year in the essay series Recht und Staat in Geschichte und Gegenwart (Law and the state in the past and the present), just before Neumann died in a car crash in Switzerland.
In 1957 Free Press published the speech in English as “Anxiety and Politics” in a collection of writings by Neumann called “The Democratic and the Authoritarian State: Essays in Political and Legal Theory”. In 2017, the “Anxiety and Politics” chapter was republished in English by Triple C and can be read in full here.
His idea about status anxiety influenced many thinkers since the 1950s, among them Neumann’s close friend Herbert Marcuse, Richard Hofstadter and French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. In his 1959 BBC radio lecture on "The American Right Wing and the Paranoid Style" (in 1964 published as The Paranoid Style in American Politics), Hofstadter argued that status anxiety and interest politics jointly created a form of paranoia that had taken over American right wing politics after Joseph McCarthy's downfall.
Neumann's concept, which has a political connection that is largely absent from de Botton's version (which seems to focus more on the "keeping up with the Joneses" issue) is still quoted and debated widely, which a search of the two expressions "Neumann" and "status anxiety" quickly reveals.
Perhaps this uncritical article about a rather unimportant and self-gratulatory book, should be repurposed and focus of the much wider subject of status anxiety instead? Thomas Blomberg (talk) 14:53, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:The Constant Princess

message: I'm not saying that the reviews of the book weren't mixed, but a (poorly-formatted) link to the book's page at Amazon is not the way to show that; similarly, while I'm sure the book's plot is heavily fictionalized, an uncited statement about Philippa Gregory's other work is not evidence of the inaccuracy of this particular book. A well-written and well-referenced section about the book's critical reviews, or its deviation from established fact, would certainly be a welcome enhancement to the article.

If someone can cite who exactly it was who wrote that this is "one of the most motivational quotes" in the book, by all means return the paragraph.  Until then, it's POV.

replies: text: In general my preference has been to have these articlea be in-depth on colonial days, and leave "History of X" to be mostly post-formation-of-X, with pre-X sections as more of a synopsis connecting to articles on native kingdoms or colonies or whatever. Being wiki rather than paper means that "History of X" doesn't have to be a giant monolithic narrative. If monolithy was good, why wouldn't one move the stamp info into it, too? :-) Stan 03:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Origin of the Protectorate 

message: The articles British Central Africa Protectorate and Nyasaland both indicate that they are different names for the same thing: a British protectorate which was renamed in 1907. There appears to be little justification for having separate articles. As Nyasaland existed for longer and is the more memorable name I favour this for the name of a merged article.

message: Nice work on the infobox. Unfortunately, the content of the article needs some reformatting. The first few sentences of an article should not be about when or where the subject was born, about his parents or childhood. They should be a summary of the key points of the rest of the article. Who was Hamilton Howze? Which battles or wars did he fight in, in which branch of the military (or more specific), what rank, and most importantly why is he significant? Having done that, you can start your second paragraph with his birth, his parents and childhood and like that. Thank you. LordAmeth 14:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Strictly Speaking

message: I recall from this book that Newman made the distinction between the words nauseated and naseaous. He suggests, I think correctly, that when I'll, we feel nauseated, not naseaous. He said it was like being bitten by a snake does not make us poisonous, but poisoned. If we are naseaous, we are the source of someone being nauseated. I always loved this distinction and still cringe when educated people, and online dictionaries, suggest that feeling ill makes one naseaous.

Talk:Strikebreaker (short story)

message: The article asks for a citation.  While I can't fully answer,
I suspect this claim refers to the threat of a strike
by the NYC Transit Authority ("NYCTA") electricians and
their colleagues in the power plants.
Back then, the TA owned and operated its own electrical
generators and a chunk of the transmission lines to the
subway system (plus the internal cables alongside the tracks).
So yes, a couple of dozen people could have shut down
the subway system.
NOTE:  While I recall family discussions of this event (big
union family, I had...) I wasn't able to find any specific
documentation.  Hopefully this clue will let someone else
have some luck...

message: The section of this article that says an audiobook was released in 2006 is inaccurate.
What was actually released was a cassette recording, and later CD re-release, of a radio play by the BBC dramatizing the Death of Superman storyline.  It was first released in the '90s and re-released in 2006.  But either way, it's not an audiobook.
Aside from which, the BBC radio play is based on the original comics and neither of the two novelizations of the Death of Superman.  One of those (the novels) is the Young Adult one from this article, Superman: Doomsday and Beyond, and the other is Roger Stern's The Death and Life of Superman.
