Talk:Pierre Choderlos de Laclos

message: Despite devoted to an important figure of literature, this article was really a crap (as many which have been copied from 1911 Britannica - I seem this was such). In lack of broadness typical of that publications (and many Anglosaxon books devoted to foreign themes), little, if any, importance was given to what not considered immediately recognizable by the (Anglosaxon) reader (i.e.: "they only know the book title? So let's speak only about it"). The new biography section is taken from the French wikipedia; hope my translation is decent. I also moved the section devoted to the Liaisons to the latter's entry. --Attilios (talk) 09:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Template talk:User Dsrt

message: It seems to me that this template would do better to look like this:
dsrt	This user has an interest in the Deseret alphabet for the English language.
Though, this also would suit my purposes:
en	This user has an interest in the Deseret alphabet, a Mormon alphabet for the English language.
This would bring it into the same aesthetic realm as the majority of this kind of template. As it is I feel that it looks quite poor, even shoddy when listed with others. Not meant to offend, rather to convey my perspective.
I've already changed the border to match it's own colour scheme. I'll wait a bit to make the other changes as I've seen the template reverted in the past to it's original state. -- thismatalk 23:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lewis Burwell Puller Jr.

message: I've moved this from the article, as it doesn't connect properly as written:
:In a final act of giving, Puller became an organ donor, Supervisor Gerald W. Hyland, at the Mount Vernon District. "Yesterday morning, I sat in the waiting room at Washington Hospital Center transplant section," he said. "I saw a sign that read 'In death, there is life. Donate organs.' Lewis Puller donated his organs and was successful in having that occur." 
:"He was a terribly intelligent person whose pain, apparently, he could not endure any longer," Hyland said. "It's so sad that the conflict in Vietnam has taken another victim. Although Lew Puller has died, he has truly left his mark on America."

thread_title:  Recommended 

message: I saw an interview with Puller Jr. shortly before his death in which he displayed despondency and lack of self-esteem based on his contention that in the incident in which he was wounded, his first in combat, he "ran" shortly after deplaning from his chopper when his unit immediately came under unexpected fire.  First of all, this is an entirely unremarkeable thing to happen to green troops which does not reflect cowardice or desertion under fire.  Moreover, there is such a thing as tactical retreat that is sometimes necessary in dealing with unexpected fire and other tough situations.  Had Puller emerged from this incident unharmed ready to fight another day, it would have been merely a learning experience that would have faded into his memory. Unfortunately, as someone who had lost multiple limbs that was not possible. It is tragic that Puller, influenced by the giant legacy of his father, had to disrespect himself so unfairly. For example, if one is in the woods, even if armed, and is suddenly charged by a grizzly, one may be justified in retreating to a better position as both a survival and hunting strategy, this being consistent with Marine Corp doctrine that in the defensive mode the mission of the rifle squad is to evade and repulse the enemy's attack by "fire and manuever".

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Metropolis (Japanese magazine)

message: *The discussion on whether to delete the Metropolis Magazine article did not focus around whether it was "blatant" advertising or not. One would think that if the author of the article was in fact the owner of the magazine this would be considered very "blatant" advertising, but the discussion never came around to this.

message: Well there is some extremely interesting information this wikipedia page is seriously lacking, and it regards an epic struggle between good and evil.

Talk:Scottish Midland Junction Railway

message: There are a couple of images on this page showing steam engines at Durham and Birmingham. Not sure what the relevance of these is to a company history. The locomotives in question were constructed long, long after the end of the independent existence of the SMJR.
I'm not really sure that a picture of a trackbed of a dismantled railway really adds much to the understanding of visitors to this page either. Afterbrunel (talk) 07:21, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Irrelevant images 

message: There are a few awkward assertions in this article. The line diagram contains some "inconsistencies" too. I don't like putting a "dubious" marker in the face of the article, so I'll have a go at improving it.
The Glammiss railway was called the Newtyle and Glamiss Railway, wasn't it? I can't find any authoritative support for it being called the Newtyle, Eassie and Glamiss Railway, although obviously it did go through Eassie and some reports referred to it informally by that title. Can anyone provide a link to an authoritative source stating that it was officially called the Newtyle, Eassie and Glamiss Railway? Afterbrunel (talk) 09:14, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Vo Spader

message: *Spader is the most liked traveler next to Bobby Pendragon, as shown by the amount of enthusiasm fans show about his character on the Pendragon forums.
*Spader's character may be based on an Australian Stereotype, as he shows a liking for animals. He also has many sayings, some of which that appear to be based on Steve Irwin's trademark saying, "Crikey"
This "trivia" seems awfully subjective. There is no quantitative way to measure the "most liked" character in the series, and unless someone can provide a citation of DJ MacHale actually mentioning Steve Irwin's "Crickey" as an inspiration for Spader's colorful exclamations, this is mere speculation.Tyukhinela 23:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I stand next to Spader being the most liked traveler (then again, I'm biased). As for 'Crikey' the back cover of the second book describes Spader as sorta Australian, though I doubt that's much proof. Terinjokes 16:39, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Erotic films

message: Okay, I've just spent the last couple of days adding several dozen films into this category.  Don't know if that makes in "populated" now or not, but for the record here it the criteria used to add such films:
* Pornographic films that have achieved a certain status by logevity, as well as containing something like a plot.
* Cult films that have strong and/or graphic sexual content.
* Mainstream films with a strong sexual content/themes.
What I have not included (at least not knowingly) are films whose sexual content were essentially violent.  My reasoning was that for most audience members this is not so much "erotic" as "pornographic."  IMO erotica is supposed to arouse, but it is also supposed to fullfill the purposes of any other kind of film.  An erotic horror film is supposed to frighten.  An erotic drama is supposed to move.  An erotic comedy should make one laugh.  Or at least they should be clearly attempting to do this.  To be sure, it is perfectly possible IMO for a film to be both.  Whether the editors agrees with me or not remains to be seen.  Un-clicking my soapbox icon now...<g> Zahir13 23:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't want to criticise but a couple of films you've put into this category are really odd choices. Firstly Baise-moi, a film about rape and the murder. This doesn't seem to fit into your philosophy of what is erotic. The thing is, there will be a lot of people who will find it erotic but there will be people who will find something erotic in every film. Secondly, Pink Flamingos, a comedy that is deliberately in bad taste the only potentially erotic moment is where a mother (who is played by a man) performs fellatio on her son. This is meant to shock not titilate. Another is The Idiots, despite graphic sex, I think most people would find it difficult to find anything erotic about it in the context of the story. I guess what this boils down to is whether this is a viable category, it depends to some extent on what individuals find erotic, it could end up as a dumping ground for any film that has "male nudity" or "female nudity" as a tag on IMDB, is it possible to tighten its criteria so it's clear what belongs without making it a duplicate of :Category:Mainstream films with explicit sex?

Talk:Ollie Silva

message: *There was a feature article on Ollie Silva in Stock Car Racing (the sport's leading monthly magazine for decades) in the 1970s.  It's a reliable source that we need to find and cite.  Unfortunately SCR 's old content isn't on the current owners' website, and there's no topic index available that I know of.  If someone can find a copy, it would be a great help to this article.

thread_title:  source: ''SCR'' article 

message: *The book by Bones Bourcier on Jim Shampine, published by Coastal 181 Press, is another reliable source that can be used, if it has as much Ollie Silva material as I'm guessing.  It might be early-Sixties cutdowns more than later material, as the Oswego and NESMRA supermodifieds stayed mostly separate in the Seventies.  I own Bourcier's book on Richie Evans and it's been useful in improving and sourcing several articles.  Barno 00:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Three Tales (opera)

message: I took out this bit, as it isn't neutral:
:"By juxtaposing these concepts, Reich and Korot assert negative connotations to cloning and artificial intelligence, placing them alongside nuclear tests and the burning of the Hindenburg as twentieth-century "disasters" that affront Judaic religious belief of the "soul" as something that is divinely given."
This claim should be backed up by sources claiming that Korot and Reich assert negative connotations. I think Reich and Korot themselves said they tried to remain neutral (although the made some negative remarks about Marvin Minsky, but the work is of course open to interpretation. Interpretation should only be included in the article when it's backed up by several sources. The we could say: "Some critics claim that by juxtaposing these concepts, Reich and Korot assert negative connotations to cloning and artificial intelligence, etc." mensch • t 23:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

message: At the time Radiguet died, he was engaged to the model Bronia Perlmutter (later Mrs. Rene Clair.)
According to the book "Artists and Lovers: 1900-1930" (by Billy Kluver and Julie Martin), Jean Cocteau always realized that there is a difference between someone who is truly homosexual, and a wild young man who simply wants to experience everything.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Younggoldchip (talk • contribs) 16:28, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Aramaic history

message: I would like to recommend erasing or changing the following statement, located under the heading: "Identity Crisis"
:"With the pending War on Terrorism, and the increasing hostility towards "Arabs," a lot of people that may have previously identified as "Arab Christians" are identifying with their indigenous ancestors such as the inhabitants of Phoenicia (northern Canaan) which comprises most of modern-day Lebanon, and/or the Aramaeans of ancient Syria."
This statement may suggest that the inhabitants of the abovementioned areas, most of which are in fact not ethnically Arab, now feel pressured to not identify with the label "Arab". The only reason many Middle Easterners refer to themselves as Arabs is due to Arabization, which has been taking place for hundreds of years now, most notably in Iraq under the Ba'ath regime. This statement also seems to undermine these people's true non-Arab ethnicities.Šarukinu 00:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
