Talk:Seat of Wisdom

message: It seems beside the point to fix the spelling. --Wetman 20:59, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Sedes here seems to mean residence, as in the traditional 'family seat', rather than something that is sat upon such as a chair or throne. If so, would it be more meaningful to translate the title as 'Abode of Wisdom'?

Talk:Edward Russell, 1st Earl of Orford

message: Admiral Edward Russell's 17th-Century throwdown
Think you can drink like a sailor? Maybe you should take a moment to reflect on what that truly means.
The record for history's largest cocktail belongs to British Lord Admiral Edward Russell. In 1694, he threw an officer's party that employed a garden's fountain as the punch bowl.
The concoction? A mixture that included 250 gallons of brandy, 125 gallons of Malaga wine, 1,400 pounds of sugar, 2,500 lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice, and 5 pounds of nutmeg.
A series of bartenders actually paddled around in a small wooden canoe, filling up guests' cups. Not only that, but they had to work in 15-minute shifts to avoid being overcome by the fumes and falling overboard.
The party continued nonstop for a full week, pausing only briefly during rainstorms to erect a silk canopy over the punch to keep it from getting watered down. In fact, the festivities didn't end until the fountain had been drunk completely dry.

Talk:Marlene Wallace

message: As far as NPCs go, Marlene is fairly important, but I think having a seperate article dedicated to her is a little extreme. Any information contained in this article can be fairly easily folded into the article on Barret, or, if we want to get even more serious about combatting cruft, into the main Final Fantasy VII article. – Seancdaug 21:29, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: So what? I don't deny that she's relevant in the context of the game. I do, however, question whether or not she's relevant to deserve a distinct entry in a general interest encyclopedia. One of the complaints most frequently leveled against CVG articles is their tendency towards fancruft, and there's a pretty strong sentiment that even player characters shouldn't automatically be awarded their own articles. We could write reams on her, but Wikipedia is not a game guide, and we really shouldn't be providing anything more than a basic summary of who she is and what role she plays in the story. At most she deserves a short paragraph, and anything over two or three sentences is probably unneccessary. This sort of detail is better suited to a subject-specific wiki. It's in everyone's interests to keep the amount of article sprawl down, and, frankly, Marlene does not warrant this much attention. – Seancdaug 03:50, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I fully agree that we don't want articles about fluff, like 'the guy on the street corner in the 3rd unnamed city'. I do however, feel that characters that people will discuss outside of game mechanics are fleshed out enough to deserve their own article. I am not aware of sentiment to reduce this; then again, I haven't gone looking for it. Marlene falls somewhere in the fuzzy area between. I personally would rather err on the side of leaving information in than on the side of 'keeping it clean'. I have found that one of the greatest strengths of the wikipedia is its possession of articles on every subject, even the most obscure. In keeping with that general theme, my opinion remains Disagree ArrowmanCoder 00:30, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I can't imagine what this remark was meant to convey. Supermarket aisles, most everywhere I should imagine, are usually at least wide enough for two supermarket trolleys to pass, and as a trolley is wider than a person that would generally allow 3-4 people to stand across an aisle. This estimate is already included in the first bullet, which says "shops". I don't see any reason to make a special case for supermarkets, especially one that seems to questionable.

thread_title:  

message: I'm not an expert in Latin, Ovid at least does not seem overly concerned with this distinction.  I'm working here from Project Gutenberg and A.S. Kline's translation
E.g., Here tellus is very clearly an element
:Lucidus hic aër, et, quae tria corpora restant,
:: Ignis, aquae, tellus, unus acervus erant.
Here "tellus Arcade" is translated as "Arcadia", so tellus would appear to mean land
:Orta prior Luna,--de se si creditur ipsi--
:: A magno tellus Arcade nomen habet.
I'm not sure here, even with the translation, but I don't see anything about the earth as a whole
:Fluminaque, et Fontes, quibus utitur hospita tellus,
::  Et nemorum Nymphae, Naiadumque chori!
On the other hand, it does appear to refer here to the earth as a whole — not in the sense of a spherical planet, but in the sense of "the world".
:Nec tacet Evandri mater, prope tempus adesse,
::  Hercule quo tellus sit satis usa suo.
If anything, Terra seems more astronomical here
:Tempora cum causis Latium digesta per annum,
::Lapsaque sub terras ortaque signa canam.
(translated as "I’ll speak of divisions of time throughout the Roman year/Their origins, and the stars that set beneath the earth and rise.")
However
:Dexter ades ducibus, quorum secura labore
::Otia terra ferax, otia pontus agit.
(translated as "Be favourable to the leaders, whose labours win/Peace for the fertile earth, peace for the seas:")
From what I can see, Ovid at least uses both terms in a variety of senses.  At this point I'm curious whence the notion that "Tellus" means the sphere and "Terra" the element may derive. -Dmh 06:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: After a bit more digging it appears that this may derive from a statement in Book IV of Augustine's City of God, in which he says that the Romans distinguish Terra, Tellus and Tellumo.  I also ran across a couple of statements that "Terra" referred to dry land while "Tellus" referred to the world.  In particular, the opening of Metamorphoses uses the two in those senses, but it seems a bit much to draw a general principle from that particular usaage.  Mainly, "Tellus" and "Terra" appear to be used interchangeably, in Latin, in English translations and in commentaries. -16:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
