thread_title: Untitled

message: I pared this confused stub down to one sentence. Here's how the first paragraph went: 
Woland, a German name for Satan appears in several variants of the old Faust legends under the names Valand, Woland, Faland, and Wieland. In his drama (see Faust, Part 1 and Faust, Part 2), Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once refers to the devil as "Junker Woland".
Well, actually Goethe never says a word on his own behalf in Faust. The character Mephistopheles does dress as a Junker, and at one point, during the Walpurgisnacht, he orders people in a dense crowd to make way for "Junker Voland" (not Woland). Obviously it is not his "real" name. Mikhail Bulgakov seems to have riffed on that moment in creating a Mephisto-like character in his novel and giving him the name Воланд (Voland), usually transcribed "Woland" (with a "W"). So Woland-with-a-W should only refer to Bulgakov's character, not to Goethe's Mephistopheles. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 03:18, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it is, because: a) there are no distinct V and W letters in Russian, so the Voland/Woland choice was made by individual translators, long after the author's death, and with little to no possible contact with experts across the Iron Curtain, b) the character is clearly demonic, c) it is implied that he is in fact Satan. 83.167.100.243 (talk) 02:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Janghagir's " success in North America is considered by some observers to be among the factors which led to growing intertest in the international "softball" version of squash in the continent, and the demise of the hardball game in the late-1980s and 1990s." - According to Wik/en's entry on Jahangir Khan.

If the Dullahan is a fairy from Irish folklore, why does the article classify it as 'unseelie'?

Is the Dullahan a specific exception or are we just dealing with someone's pop-culture understanding of mythology causing them to classify the Dullahan as 'unseelie' simply because the Dullahan is decidedly unpleasant?

Talk:Mochi ice cream

I was pretty sure it was Mikawaya, but Lotte claims a much earlier date. I'm gonna contact Mikawaya and see what distinctions (if any) are being made to claim creation of mochi ice cream over Lotte. If Lotte did invent mochi ice cream, then I feel this article might be redundant or a less accurate name than yukimi daifuku. Falsedef 10:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I changed "tautomer" to "isomer" describing the relation of glyceraldehyde to dihydroxyacetone, and added a remark about the enzyme-catalyzed interconversion of their phosphates in glycolysis.
Glyceraldehyde is an isomer of dihydroxyacetone but not a tautomer (tautomers being isomers that spontaneously interconvert under specified conditions, such as in aqueous solution at room temperature).  If the two compounds were tautomers, glyceraldehyde would spontaneously lose its optical activity, because the reaction sequence
 D-glyceraldehyde <=> dihydroxyacetone (achiral) <=> L-glyceraldehyde

:Conformational isomerism.
