Talk:Narberth, Pennsylvania

thread_title: Comments

message: What is with this page indeed.  Has this person ever been to Narberth?  It reads like a lot of hear-say and mythology being passed on as fact. Please rewrite this drivel and stick to the facts.  "hold tight to your purse or wallet if your an outsider" ... what a joke.  I have shown this entire ridiculous account of Narberth to many Narbs.  Fortunately laughter was the most common response and not many people were actually pissed off.  Regardless .... clean this article up.  It's just plain silly.

replies: text: I read the book as part of my Literature class in school in England.   There were no comments about the use of the word 'nigger' whatsoever; it was just another word.   The bowdlerization might be understandable if it happened in the 1960's.  Now, it's unbelievable and panders to those who deliberately or mistakenly are maintaining the distance between people who have different colored skin.

Children born in Germany to foreign parents may acquire German nationality if certain conditions are met. They must however decide between the ages of 18 and 23 whether to retain their German nationality or the nationality of their parents.
Martin was born in Munich, to foreign parents, so he would have had to decide if he wanted the German nationality. Also, he would have probably had to renounce his Australian citizenship at the time. It's not like in New Zealand, where birth trumps everything, and you are a New Zealander, whether you like it or not, if you were born there. --Skol fir (talk) 16:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Chrono (Chrono Crusade)

message: To those of you who have checked out this article on Chrono, I ask that this page be rewritten to include Chrono's manga counterpart like the information provided on Rosette's page. Several other character pages also need to be revamped to keep these articles as non-biased as possible.
ok his name is chrno not chrono thats a common mis-spelling error
A note on the person's comment above me: actually, the correct spelling is, in fact, Chrono. It is spelled Chrno in Japan, but not in the English release, and since this article is written in English, it should be written that way. Besides that, in Japan the spelling "Chrno" was actually a typo, and rather than correcting it, they decided to roll with it. Even though there are various rumors circulating about why it's spelled Chrno, Daisuke Moriyama (the author) himself says it was a typo. 
There's also a lot of typos and references to things people who do not know about the anime/manga wouldn't understand.--Mullon 16:50, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Portuguese exonyms

message: This article seems to show only Potuguese exonyms as conceived in Portugual. Many city names aren´t changed from its original spelling in Brazilian Portuguese, as well as others, which are truly modified, haven´t been even metioned here.

Copenhagen
Helsique
Nuremberg
and more.
I have introduced this distinction marking the exonyms with (PT) and (BR), but I think this can be improved further on. The unmarked words are used in both variants, as Viena and Luxemburgo. NeedABrain 22:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Last Crossing

message: I've just made something of a bold edit, reverting the article back to deal exclusively with Guy Vanderhaeghe's The Last Crossing. As it was, the recent edits ran counter to WP:D, which would dictate that the Harvey Ardman book be the subject of a seperate article. I should add that I'm not at all convinced that Ardman's The Last Crossing meets WP:BK. No record of the book is found at the British Library, the Library of Congress, Amazon.com, or Abebooks. Moreover, a "Harvey Ardman" + "Last Crossing" Google search fails to yield a single hit. Victoriagirl 22:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Emily of New Moon

message: I deleted the Trivia-part about Emily saving Teddy. ("The novels take place during the beginning of the 20th century. Although years are left out (written as 19-- in letters and diary entries), hints of the time period are given through mentions of dress, attitudes, and outside events. In one example, in Emily's Quest, Emily keeps Teddy from going on the ship the Lusitania, which historically was torpedoed May 7, 1915, as part of World War I.")
The ship is called Flavian and was not torpedoed, but hit an iceberg. See "Emily's Quest" Chapter X: "It was during his absence that the world was horrified by the tragedy of the Flavian's fatal collision with an iceberg. The headlines struck Emily in the face like a blow. Teddy was to have sailed on the Flavian (...)."
Was the Flavian supposed to echo the Lucitania (which was torpedoed,) or the Titanic (which struck an iceberg.)  If it echoed the Titanic, it would put that part of "Emily's Quest" in 1912.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.17.129 (talk) 01:16, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:The Flying Sorcerers

message: "Shoogar gets revenge by destroying Purple's shuttle in what turns out to be an atomic explosion." - literally "true", but tends to imply that Shoogar intentionally created an atomic explosion.  Actually, he damaged the vehicle, which exploded.  And "shuttle" makes one think of NASA's STS; I suggest something more general - "vehicle"?? "lander"??
I'd have called Purple an "astronaut-anthropologist".
"Dorthi, by killing him" -> "Dorthi, after killing him"
"must return to the now-radioactive area" - is the radioactivity important at this stage? Distance is.
"and be steered by bicycles" - gives impression that wheels are used - "cycle-driven propellers"??
"The vilage people then gave Purple Dorithi's scarlet sandles and made him the vilage wizard." - village, sandals, village.
The story was earlier published as "The Misspelled Magician" or "The Misspelled Magishun" - see N-Space bibliography, and Google.
