Talk:Bianca Castafiore

message: Harrock was listed twice on the list of names Bianca calls the Captain.  Deleted the second one.  BurkeDevlin -- 4/13/2007
I wonder how this claim for a connection between Aino Ackté and Castafiore is subtantiated? Should it be explained in the article? A reference would be nice too. --Isidorus Finn (talk) 15:20, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The article currently states that Castafiore "is an opera singer whose demeanor comically aggravates Captain Haddock's stereotyped sea-captain misogyny as she pops up in adventure after adventure." (wikilink to Misogyny by me). I don't see it sourced anywhere, and it's not mentioned in the Captain Haddock-article either. From the cartoons I see Haddock as being more of a conservative gender stereotype (a the woman belongs in the kitchen-kindda guy), rather than an actual hate or dislike of women/girls. --188.120.84.168 (talk) 05:52, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I authored the phrase in question. Perhaps we're over-analyzing comic book characters! I meant that Tintin characters are comic stereotypes (political correctness being utterly alien to French and Belgian comics, wherein gender and ethnic stereotypes and caricatures abound), and the cultural stereotype Haddock fulfills is one of a sea captain who went to sea in part because he is unable to deal with women. You can call him misogynistic or gender stereotyping or whatever you wish, but that was my point, for what it's worth :) JacquesDelaguerre (talk) 22:09, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Advanced Function Presentation

message: I found resources on the web saying AFP is Advanced Function Printing and AFP is Advanced Function Presentation. Probably a renaming issue or something. Does anyone know about this change/incompatibility between definitions?
:Advanced Function Printing was the original term applied by IBM.  When new methods to distribute and use the output were added over the years (such as the Internet, on-line viewing, etc.), AFP was renamed to Advanced Function Presentation.
Merge the two articles ? I've linked both on the AFP page ... --87.194.174.252 (talk) 11:25, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Earlier this year, IBM sold half of its printing systems division to Ricoh to create a joint company - Infoprint Solutions.  Additionally, future development for AFP specifications were turned over earlier to the AFP Color Consortium, an industry group that renamed itself to AFP Consortium.

text: Sounds like you've been made aware, based on your reply at my user talk. However, comparisons of article sizes aren't good barometers, since sometimes a less important person happens to have more available sources for attribution, allowing for a bigger article. Example, a guy might be notable for a 20 year career as a spokesman, and for his career as an elected official. Because his body of work before holding office was so public, it might be easy to fill out his page with earlier info. ThuranX 23:33, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Five Little Ducks went out one day 

message: I've noticed on many articles on Australian television programs users have been adding the line "Dolby Digital 5.1" into infoboxes under Audio format. I'm not even sure if many of these users who add this even know what this means, that is the "5.1" refers to 5.1 surround sound. Since neither ABC1 nor ABC2 use Dolby Digital audio, the infoxbox should just state "Stereo", unless there are sources that say Play School is recorded with 5.1 surround sound, but can only be broadcast in stereo due to the fact neither of the two channels that air the show are 5.1 capable.NJM2010 (talk) 10:10, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Denise Scott

message: Despite Denise Scott's claim on Spicks and Specks (TV series) on 23 September 2009 that this article showed her birth date as being 1945, no version of this article prior to the broadcast made this claim.--Grahame (talk) 14:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the History of the article, I can see that there certainly WAS a previous version which DID give her birthdate as 1945, rather than 1955, the correct figure.  Denise Scott said on television music quizz show Spicks and Specks that someone had conflated details concerning herself and another Denise Scott, who writes books on poetry. She also said (probably as a joke) that she was receiving royalties from the works of the other Denise Scott, and that these were significantly better than those from her own books. She concluded that we should all "trust Wikipedia". I thought she was a lovely lady with a great sense of humour, and heaps of vitality and warmth. Myles325a (talk) 03:48, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I am not sure what is notable about this person. There is only one reference and nothing definitive so there needs to be some addition references but also involving notability. Otr500 (talk) 16:30, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability and references. 

message: His birth date is listed as 1727, but the article mentions he "lived for a short time in Holland before emigrating in 1720."  His father's article also mentions an emigration date of 1720, without any mention of return to Europe. So:
*was he born not in 1727 but in 1720 or earlier?
*was he born in 1727 but in New Jersey rather than Europe?
*was he born in 1727 in Holland as the article states, with his parents (or at least mother) having returned there for a short time preceding his birth?
Which ever it is, the article should clarify. - Nbpolitico (talk) 13:00, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:The Seven Crystal Balls

message: The article talks of a “signficant continuity error” by the translators; that’s a very twisted representation, as it’s a change, not an error. The continuity of the English books is not the same as the French, as like in many countries, the books did not appear in original publication order in Britain. Hergé habitually changed books and altered them in French, introducing all sorts of anachronisms (Black Island, even in French, is now set decades after the books which surround it because it was re-drawn) so saw no problem in this, and agreed to the changes made by the translators. So comments such as Tintin’s about Castafiore are not errneous, they are deliberate: what they are are differences. Jock123 (talk) 13:52, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Destination Moon (comics), also a GA, does mention him (the fact that he got hired), but again nothing further.

message: Is anyone aware of a reliable source for the dates of the pamphlets leedskalnin wrote and sold?  Just a microfilm of the miami newspaper advertisement (for the pamphlet) would be a step in the right direction, supposing it exists.  
Specifically magnetic current is of the most interest, and it seems to have been published / created for the first time in 1988 (after billy idol's sweet sixteen, and "in search of" episode had made coral castle a relatively well known tourist attraction).  I have never seen a  copy or scan of any original pamplet (or even secondhand copy thereof), except possibly a book in every home which is not intersesting. Nor have i seen any references to the magnetic current pamphlet that could help verify the creation date... Does anyone have these details?
 It would seem we have to conclude fraud by the modern owners of the attraction (at least for selling the pamphlets as authentic, if not manufacturing them to begin with) unless the source can be verified and reasonable chronology established.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.157.189 (talk) 06:03, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

You can use material that isn't on the web but must cite the original sources, presuming that it can be somehow accessed, ie by visiting a library. So you can change the publication dates.
