replies: text: "It has very little connection with Pratchett's 1981 sci-fi novel Strata or with his subsequent Discworld series, featuring much less comedy and parody than these." this seems like nonsense to me - for a start, the Strata/Discworld stuff is non-information, as noted above.  Also, I don't agree with the unsourced assertion there's less humour and parody than Strata, at any rate.

Talk:Video game industry

message: In the section of International Trends, there is a subsection called "World" which begins with the following:
"International video game revenue is estimated to be $81.5B in 2014..."
I think it would be prudent for somebody to update this, considering we've had nearly 10 years to do so. Just skimming through without paying attention, it's easy to mistake this as a statement of fact. But maybe that's me, heh.
Furthermore, I want to extend my deepest and most hearfelt gratitude to anybody who fulfills this suggestion as well as to all of the other mods, editors, admins etc.
I realize these are thankless, stressful jobs. So, thank you all. Cheers. 2607:FEA8:99E0:61D0:A8D4:C903:3581:5E03 (talk) 17:58, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

message: Is this usage peculiar to the US? In the UK "The Beano" is a childrens' comic; "The Dandy" and "The Beano" are childrens' comics.

replies: text: You may study art, you may study literature, you may study film... do you study "comic" or "comics"? I would say the latter, and if so, then this page is at the right title. The page title here is not about what is the name for an individual object, but for a field, an art form... (for art or literature, this is clearer as you have book/books as the objects, and literature as the field; here the name is the same, hence the confusion). Fram (talk) 16:06, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

If my opinion is at all valuable (and I don't feel it's any more valuable than any other editor of any experience here), I would say that the rules look very good, and that any more time spent in refining them would be unwise: what little gains were made in improving the rules would be outweighed by the loss of continuing to operate without arbitration (it may have already lost us a good editor, in my opinion).

Talk:Pharisees

message: As of December 15, 2022, the second sentence of the second paragraph claims that the Sadducees supported Hellenization. My understanding (which may be wrong) is that the Sadducees began as those who agreed with the Hasmoneans. The Hasmoneans came to power as a result of the revolt against the Selucids. This revolt began in opposition to Hellenization and to the policies of Antiochus IV.
My impression has always been that the Sadducees remained opposed to Hellenization as long as they existed as a group. Itinerantlife (talk) 03:06, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Second Paragraph, Second Sentence 

message: To whoever wrote this section, many thanks for contributing your knowledge. In this paragraph, the reason for mentioning Maccabees and its theology is unclear.

thread_title:  Sources: Second Paragraph; 1 and 2 Maccabees, two deuterocanonical books ..... 

message: The comparison section is sourced to the Jewish Virtual Library and appears to be a rather direct copy/paste job. Furthermore, according to Perennial sources the JVL is generally considered unreliable. As such I'm going to cut this section. I'm gonna leave this comment over at Essenes and Sadducees too. IrishStephen (talk) 00:34, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comparison section 

message: The article takes the view that the Rabbis are the continuation of the Pharisees while this is not a fact and many academic authorities say the opposite (Prof Seth Schwartz or Martin Goodman). They and others explain that these were two different groups with different ideologies, the Rabbis being originally a fringe movement with no influence, while the Pharisees were a very popular movement. The Pharisees did not believe or as far as we know were even aware of the existence of a Oral Torah, which seems to have been the specific creed of the Rabbis. The Mishna itself refers to the Pharisees as a different group. The article needs to be edited to reflect at least the plurality of academic opinions. 2A02:ED0:538E:100:21ED:4828:D2A9:403E (talk) 17:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

message: I was just reading an Associated Press (AP) article provided through Yahoo! News entitled "Library Clock Has 'IIII' Instead of 'IV'". In it was the first citation of a Wikipedia article that I've seen from a major news agency:
:Wikipedia.org, an Internet encyclopedia, says that manuscripts from the 1300s are inconsistent on the use of IV and IIII to denote the number four. It also suggests that a Roman ruler at some point ordered the change to IIII, and it has come down through history as a tradition.

Talk:Pull-off

message: Why are pull-offs not generally played on acoustic guitars?  Are they too hard to perform on an acoustic?  If so (or whatever the reason), that should be added.
: The article already says "Other than their use in producing passing tones, the use of pull-offs is largely confined to rock and heavy metal music, where overdriven amplifiers ensure the second tone remains audible.".  I can't think of much to add to that. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 23:59, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: Seconding (thirding?) both of the above. In certain cases you may need to be more aggressive with a pull-off on an acoustic guitar, but that's as far as it goes IMHO. I actually started playing on an acoustic and had to "unlearn" my pull-off technique when I touched my first electric guitar. Too loud, and too much unforgiving noise from slightly touching adjacent strings. (Jedku (talk) 04:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
