Talk:Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

message: Should not the intro be along the lines of the parameters of the settings, I mean there are way better Cantonese songs than that Bob Dylan trash. 
Enlil Ninlil (talk) 23:03, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the intro should acknowledge the magazine's self-set limits on the songs considered for inclusion in its list. Also perhaps the fact that it is premature to talk about "all-time"  when "all-time" is still a progress. Also that "all-time" lists are promotional gimmicks created to sell magazines. 2603:800C:3944:BC00:9819:EC49:BDA6:26C7 (talk) 07:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Aqua vitae

message: I have heard that in Medieval times, people would consume wine and perform some rituals in order to recieve information from the spirits.  I vaguely remember something about Court Jesters doing this as part of their repetoire.  I believe the "Song of my Soul" by Cris Williamson expresses some of this.   It feels like a drinking song, but it has a spiritual message, and starts with a petition to be filled with truth and light.

Talk:List of French governors of Algeria

message: This should really be split.  The Turkish period is not normally considered "colonial", partly because the government was in practice largely autonomous, and has little in common with the French period. - Mustafaa 20:11, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Both points taken.  In trying to avoid too many splits of consecutive lists the heading is clumsily generic.  I am considering whether it is better to have a more accurate heading or to split the table.  Agreed that the list overlaps the Pashas and Deys of Algiers list, however as that heading suggests they are lists of individuals with those specific titles, whereas the list here is a succession of a post or position, irrespective of specific title.  Whether this is enough to justify two separate but overlapping lists is up to debate.  A parallel would be that a list of the First Lords of the Treasury in the UK would be largely the same as the list of Prime Ministers of the UK, but not entirely so, so two separate lists may well be justified.  --JohnArmagh 20:28, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Piri Reis map

message: This section does not make a lot of sense to me:
"Some have claimed that the source maps were found in the ancient Library of Alexandria,[27] based on Piri's allusions to Alexander the Great, the founder of Alexandria, Ptolemy I, who ruled Alexandria in the 4th century BC, and Claudius Ptolemy, the Greek geographer and cartographer who lived in Alexandria during the 2nd century AD.[20] Gregory McIntosh states "Arab writers often confused Claudius Ptolemy, the geographer of the second century C.E., with Ptolemy I, one of Alexander's generals... Piri Reis has undoubtedly made the same error, resulting in his believing the charts and maps were from the time of Ptolemy I instead of Claudius Ptolemy."[28]"
Even if Piri Reys confused Ptolemy I with Claudius Ptolemey, which there is no evidence of, Claudius Ptolemey was a cartographer who lived in Alexandria. It would make absolute sense if Claudies Ptolemey's map was found in the library of Alexandria.
--Stephen Bolintalk 18:23, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alexandria the Great 

message: The writer states “Piri also stated...” This infers Reis made the statements leading up to this point in the discussion, which is absolutely false. In fact, I am a bit concerned that this article is written from the viewpoint that the map is as described by the writers, and does not include the vast amount of professional opinions that the map does indeed illustrate Queen Maud Land in Antarctica. This is an arrogant assumption on the part of the writer to state he in fact has first-hand authority to put this forward as the only credible claim. Because it doesn’t fit the traditional narrative of, ahem, “academia” (the impossibility if anyone having mapped a non-glaciated Antarctica), then it must necessarily be of land masses which, even under a hurriedly cursory examination, would reveal an extraordinary number of impossible-to-reconcile data points that indicate to the contrary. This article is quite shameful, actually. Pphelps07 (talk) 17:12, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

(link) There were strange noises and happenings, and servants wouldn't stay, so they called in a priest to exorcise the house. This was done three times, but each time, after a period of quiet, the evil got worse. The wife went to an old spaewife, who told her that the exorcism had made things worse: whenever an evil was exorcised, a more terrible evil would come in its place. She urged the couple to leave the house at once as it was the Devil himself who was there now. They left the next day and the house has been vacant ever since.

Talk:Wisła Kraków

message: Unfortunately, large part of the history section is false... According to the memoirs of Roman Wilczyński – one of the founders - Wisła was formed in the spring of 1906. It was professor Tadeusz Łopuszański who gave the idea of organizing the club. Neither “Szkolnikowski’s Team” nor “The Blues” were used as club’s name – it was Wisła from the very beginning. The phrase “the members of the Blues came up with the name Wisla to call their new association” is therefore absurd. Nor is it true that after the merger in 1907 jerseys “bore 2 blue stars in order to show that the team was created from the fusion of 2 others”. There were two blue stars on the jerseys of Jenker team already before the merger, so it had nothing to do with the fusion. 109.108.163.154 (talk) 23:15, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
