Talk:Magic ring

message: Now that astute reader Ihcoyc has added the Ring of Gyges, from the writings of Plato. Good. But does that now invalidate the bald statement to the effect of "no magic rings in Greek mythology" or is it some kind of exception, because Plato used it as an alegory? If he was drawing on an earlier mythical story, then it's a Greek magic finger ring. If he made up a fantasy to make a philosophical point, then it might classify as "modern." Votes, anybody?

thread_title: '''''Really''''' no Greek magic rings?

message: This ring is not magical.  Though the precise scientific explanation is not included in the book, the stone from whence its power comes is manufactured by a machine (which is discovered at the end of Uncharted Stars), and there is no reason to believe that it is magical.  I've removed it; if anyone has an objection, please write it here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.122.150.57 (talk) 02:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  8250 differences 

message: The article states that the "Nokia '82XX' series suffered from several design flaws, among them a tendency to develop 'screen fade' in which the connector for the display would shrink and figures on the display would become so dim that it was impossible to read them."
I had a Nokia 8260, the TDMA variant of the 8210. In fact, I had two, because the first one was stolen and replaced by insurance with an identical new phone. Neither of them had the slightest fault. The 8260/8270 were incredibly popular here at the time, I knew lots of other people who had them as well, and they all loved their phones and had no complaints. Nor do I remember reading any such complaints in the press at the time. In fact, this article was the first time I ever saw those alleged problems mentioned. I was tempted to remove that unsubstantiated claim, but decided to put it under discussion first. At the very least, whoever put that claim there (I was unable to locate it in the edit history for this article) may be generalizing some problem that possibly randomly happened to him/her.
Also, my phone did not have user-replaceable covers and did not support picture messages (its display was monochromatic and low-resolution, so I don't know how that could even be possible).

message: For almost ten years, this page contains an unsourced claim that Dazaga is spoken in Sudan with language data purportedly representing the Omdurman dialect. I haven't found any independent source in support of this. A web search only leads to WP mirrors and WP:CIRCULAR sources citing Wikipedia. All independent sources only mention Chad and Niger for the speech area of Dazaga.
Pinging  Maybe you can help out here with your first-hand knowledge of the language situation in Sudan. Before I remove this information as unsourced, do you think it is in any way valid? If yes, it will be worth digging deeper to find appropriate sources (and adding -tags in the meantime). If you have never heard about it, let's just remove it.

text: While a structure with this article ("Fur languages") containing sections about the Fur and Amdang languages, with "Fur language" and "Amdang" as redirects to "Fur languages", would be acceptable, that would be a lot of trouble to go to without, in my opinion, improving Wikipedia.
