Talk:Ring Lardner Jr.

message: Cut from article:
:According to Hungarian writer Miklos Vamos—who visited Lardner several times before his death—Lardner won an Academy Award for a movie he wrote under a pseudonym. Lardner refused to tell which movie it was, saying that it would be unfair to reveal it because the writer who allowed Lardner, Jr. to use his name as a front (as Lardner's pseudonym) was doing him a big favor at the time. It later was revealed the film was Roman Holiday and the writer was Ian McLellan Hunter, who with Lardner co-wrote the book for Bert Lahr's short-lived 1964 Broadway vehicle Foxy.
:NB Wikipedia entries for Dalton Trumbo, Ian McLellan Hunter and, Roman Holiday all state that it was for Dalton Trumbo that Ian McLellan Hunter was "fronting" on the Roman Holiday screenplay.  It is known that Hunter fronted for both of them before being blacklisted himself.  However, it was Trumbo who was posthumously awarded an Oscar for the screenplay and whose name was digitally added to the credits.
I assume that the other articles are correct - imdb.com entry on the film also shows that Trumbo, not Lardner, wrote the story for said film. Ellsworth 18:13, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Readded reference to unknown Lardner film. The Roman Holiday speculation was attached by somebody else to this info, so this being incorrect doesn't make the whole paragraph incorrect, so the part which has a source reference shouldn't be removed as well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.18.18 (talk) 15:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Observed Trials

message: I am trying to understand why this article is called "Observed Trails" (the American term) when almost all of the fact in the sport is dirived from the more popular European arena of the sport - and where the sport is called "Motorcycle Trials"? Secondly, calling it "Motorcycle Trials" at least says what it is - where as the term "Observed Trails" seems to refer more at present to Bicycle Trials? Suggest this whole article is moved to "Motorcycle Trials" with a redirect, awaiting the point where "Observed Trials" could either be used for the Bicycle version of the sport - or as a disambiguation page between the two versions.

replies: text: IMHO, to me and everyone i know in the sport in the UK its just simply called "Trials", while the unmotorised version (a much smaller sport), is called "Bike Trials" or variations thereof. Obviously the term "Trials" causes confusion for theses outside the sport / motorcycling world as it tends to conjure up images of the legal system. I don't like the American term which this article is titled as i really don't think its the accurate title of my sport. I'm not convinced either (but not so opposed) to the term "motorcycle trials", but i may have to live with it as i doubt the wider community can accept just "trials" ... ???

The Liam Sullivan who died in 1998 was known for a Star Trek role and several other television parts in soap operas, crime dramas, etc. I have moved all of the information related to Liam Kyle Sullivan over to his own page, and changed Liam Sullivan's information to reflect what I could quickly find on the web and IMDB.

Category talk:Indo-European

message: I don't particularly like the use of :Category:Indo-European used to simultaneously denote an ethnicity and the field of Indo-European studies: currently it sits inside both :Category:Historical linguistics and :Category:Ethnic groups in Europe.  My main issue is to discourage any resurrection of the "Indo-European race" concept, and make very clear that "Indo-European" as an ethnic marker is only really applicable to the Proto-Indo-European period, before widespread genetic interaction with other peoples.
I was thinking of creating a subcategory :Category:Proto-Indo-Europeans to house all the articles specifically about recontructions of PIE life, language, etc., and move the "Ethnic groups" categorization down to there.
However, this might introduce an arbitrary division in the categorization of articles, as well as create other controversies (e.g. do we put Kurgan hypothesis in :Category:Proto-Indo-Europeans, or not?).  Any thoughts? --Saforrest 20:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
