Talk:Oolated Luck

message: I'm not up to speed on everything Wikipedia but such a long article on a ten page story DOES violate copyright. This is simply going to have to go and I'd be a monkey's uncle if I knew how. Lots42 (talk) 13:38, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any reason whatsoever for copyright violation. A retelling of a story in the contributor's own words does not violate copyright. A copy&paste from some other website would, but not original text describing the plot. Really, with your logic, every Wikipedia article about any book, film, TV series, or comic book story that actually described what the story was all about would violate copyright. I'm going to remove the copyvio tag, if you disagree, feel free to add it back. JIP | Talk 19:40, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand. The author of the story wrote the long article? Even if this is so, my point still stands. They don't own the character. Too much detail violates copyright. Lots42 (talk) 18:40, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the author of the story didn't write the article. An independent Wikipedia contributor did. But I still think that a Wikipedia contributor describing the plot in his/her own words does not constitute a copyvio. Copy-pasting text from another website or including scans of the actual comic would. I don't see how ownership of the character would be an issue. Too much detail would only violate Wikipedia's policy that Wikipedia is not a fansite for plot-only descriptions, not violate copyright. JIP | Talk 21:26, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Either way, not that I fully agree with you, I was right to do what I did. Lots42 (talk) 03:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Saw this at the Help desk The plot summary goes into too much depth relative to the length of the story that it covers. Providing encyclopedic coverage about a story often involves summarizing parts of it, and that would most likely be fair use, but here the summary is too extensive. Its not so much a summary, as the whole story retold, and that in my opinion is a copyright violation. Telling the same story with different words, is a derivative work, and subject to the copyright of the original. Monty845 18:56, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

I figure that it would be best to rewrite the plot section, to omit all the detail and concentrate on the story's main idea: how Donald's nephews got Gladstone's luck to work against him.

Talk:Rotation (pool)

message: The article does not specify whether there are any variations in which shot(s) must be called. It does state that flukes count. In the rotation game I am used to play, for example, all shots must be called; ball in hand is in effect after any foul. I am sure there are customs that differ from region to region, so some lookup needs to be done in regards to the rule vatiants; while at that, something should be said about which parts of the world this game is common in. --ChaChaFut 02:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Find a source for those rules, then add a variant in the article. The non-called shot, and non-ball-in-hand nature, of the mainstream version of this game is very reliably sourced.

message: I added a disambiguation link to the page.  I know that it is less likely that anyone not concerned with computerized template systems or more specifically web template systems will look up or link those two generic words together. However, in the event that they do, they shouldn't have to read into the page to find the broader meaning.  I also redirected this page to specify it as a computing term. The "template system" page redirects to it and will probably remain as a redirect to it unless anyone else insists on broader usage of the term. I'm OK with that as long as I know that anyone concerned with an alternate meaning can find it on the wikipedia. Oicumayberight 04:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Panama red

message: This article has some pretty specific facts in it that are wholly unverified (ie: Panama Red is genetically related to Columbian red). It reads like a dealer trying to justify overcharging for some normal marijuana, not like a well researched article. The only fact I have come across is that Panama Red is slang for cannabis (http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/slang/slang8.shtml) OngoingCivilUnrest 02:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just expanded the Columbian red article from one sentence to a few paragraphs. I found no really good scientific material, so it's a kind of shoddy wikipedia article. But I wanted to comment that I haven't found any suggestion of the relationship between Panama Red and Columbian Red, or Acapulco Red for that matter...one book on cannabis said red can be from the species itself, or from soil conditions; while I assume these reds are genetic, I found no sources (even unreliable) that explicitly said so. If nobody finds a source supporting the genetic relationship soon, I would recommend removing the claim. -Agyle 04:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Minor update, I did see the sentence "Lowland Colombian (Colombian or Panama Red)— red to red-brown—from the Llanos area" in a books.google search, returned from Marijuana Chemistry, but google only shows some pages in the book, and doesn't include that one. So there's at least a suggestion of a link. I wouldn't cite it without more information though. -Agyle 05:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This whole article needs a fix up. Whoever wrote basically rambles on with pointless facts and repetitions. Also, the writer keeps referring to "the guy", whoever that is, and misspells and forgets capitalization often. I looked at a few other articles, and they actually made the plot clearer than this. For example, there are more than just a "few guys" involved, it is meant to be that they are caught in the middle of a local warlord's civil war.

Talk:The Burrow (short story)

message: Wow, not a lot of discussion for possibly the greatest short fiction ever written.
--R.
Are we sure this is really unfinished? The ending is about as perfect as you get. If Kafka planned an ending, maybe he was wise enough to think it futile and abandon it. "All remained unchanged," pretty much sums it up.  
--R.
The line under "Themes" is false.  The creature mentions the use of its ears with reference to his ability to hear the noise later on in the story.  Also, mentions of the creature's bulk, its difficulty squeezing through the labyrinthine passages near the opening of the burrow, its jaws holding dead rodents.  There may be even more references.  But based on these it seems difficult to justify the statement that the creature represents disembodied human reason.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.51.62 (talk) 21:41, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Edward A. Pollard

message: Jack P. Maddex, Jr., in his biography of Pollard, The Reconstruction of Edward A. Pollard: A Rebel's Conversion to Postbellum Unionism (Chapel Hill: U. of N.C. Press, 1974) gives Pollard's birthdate as 27 Feb 1832 (p.4), and gives the following citation: Alexander Brown, The Cabells and Their Kin: A Memorial Volume of History, Biography, and Genealogy (Boston and New York: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1895), 219, 406-7, 433-34; Michael Houston, "Edward A. Pollard and the Richmond Examiner: A Study of Journalistic Opposition in Wartime" (M.A. thesis, American University, 1963), pp. 27-30. To Houston's reasons for dating Pollard's birth in 1832, one may add his age as given in U.S. Census Manuscripts, Schedule 1: Population, Lynch Ward, City of Lynchburg, Campbell County, Virginia, 1870, p.56. —LonelyPilgrim 02:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bilingual dictionary

message: Sure would be nice to have an historical account of bilingual dictionaries.
When do they start?
e.g.:  I'm pretty sure Cicero does not have a bilingual Greek-Latin dictionary
ready to hand when he is translating Greek for his Academica, de Finibus, and 
other philosophical works (or his translations of Plato and Aratus).
The Alexandrian librarians in the 200's B.C. are compiling glossaries for hard
words in Homer, but: a) that's not a pure case of bilingualism, and b) the results were
not ordered alphabetically, but by order of occurrence (more like footnotes).
Conversely, John Florio's 1598 "World of Words" is a straightforward 
bilingual dictionary: Italian-English, alphabetical order.
Somewhere between Cicero and Florio?  
(Also--there are lots of non-european languages to remember. Whenever texts are translated,
e.g. Buddhist texts from Sanskrit into Chinese or Japanese, one could imagine glossaries
being assembled systematically.  What about early translations of Gilgamesh, which appeared
in Sumerian, Akkadian, and other languages? But this is all uneducated speculation on my part).
