thread_title: Middle name

message: Was looking at well-done Eakins oil portrait, then saw the caption: it's Gandy's mother.  Unless Gandy herself had some relation to the artist, or the mother's being with the artist had some effect on Gandy, it really makes no sense to have an oil portrait of the mother in an article about the daughter. Seems to me like a clear case of WP:COATRACK.  That is: it's true, but it's not relevant.--Petzl (talk) 10:08, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed Gandy's mother's portrait 

message: 1. Gandy is of public interest enough to have been portrayed in multiple movies. 
2. Census forms are easily understandable by observant members of the public. So are death certificates. In presenting these, I'm not proposing a speculation, interpretation or thesis. They describe Gandy as head of household in 1940 and 1950 and Morrow is described as "partner." Morrow's residence before the nursing home is the same address listed in the 1950 census. Gandy moved to Florida the year Morrow died. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 11:48, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Goosebumps (television series)

message: In the Goosebumps books thar are "Monster Blood", "Monster Blood II", "Monster Blood III" and "Monster Blood IV". In the TV series there are, according to the list, only one named "Monster Blood" and one named "More Monster Blood". Can anyone explain which movies is made from which books?
* I guess this reply is kind of late, but to clear up your question, "More Monster Blood" was aired right after "Monster Blood." It was a story that was never featured in the books, if I'm correct (although I never read "Monster Blood IV", but that book came at least a couple of years after "More Monster Blood", and the cover art looks unrelated anyway). The story of "More Monster Blood" featured the main protagonist from the "Monster Blood" series, Evan, and a couple of other kids trapped in an airplane with Monster Blood released (his female friend, Andy or whatever, was not in this episode though). They have to save the plane and its crew, basically. Shadowolf 03:09, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Post-rock

message: the categorization of bands and genealogy of the term "post-rock" seems to me arbitrary. in fact, the whole article should be restructured. we should pay more attention to the distinction of bands that...
1. were formative for the aesthetic definition of the term, but did not identify themselves with a particular genre (bark psychosis, tortoise, mogwai)
2. operated in the past and have been labeled as post-rock after the emergence of the term (talk talk etc.)
3. explicitly refer to a tradition of post-rock bands (this will destroy you, capsian, mono etc.)
one should distinguish between the attribution of the term by the media, the self-definition of bands and the actual aesthetic appearance. at the moment, these things are still mixed up. everyone who has spent some time dealing with this sort of music could object to every second sentence. most important: there is not "decline" of the genre, just further confusion about how to map a very vital and diverse musical landscape. just have a look on myspace. in the last 12 month literally hundreds of bands emerged, which describe themselves as post-rock. i think the term is more present than ever before.
i think the article should be restructured and rewritten. since i am a n00b on wikipedia, i'm not sure how to do that, without offending the original creators of this text. please help.
best,

thread_title:  The Vacant 

message: Not that I pretend to know about too much about rock music (worse, I can't cite sources), but I read in some booklet about rock in Mexico that Jorge Reyes (a Mexican, of course, and not the Cuban this link refers to) coined the term "post rock" in the mid '80s. For me, his music is as new age as I bear to listen to, but it certainly fits the technical description about the use of the guitars.
Adding more as the Wikipedias expand: Jorge Reyes is in fact this musician, formerly of the band Chac Mool. Since Simons Reynolds' claims to coining the term in 1994 is now relegated to its proper status, maybe someone with more knowledge can have a closer look at post rock's prehistory?

message: I would like to see something in here about it's use in music.  A piece is cyclical if it uses the same material at the beginning and the end, like in the Mozart Requiem, but chiastic can be used as a musical devise if something is built with a palindrome like structure.  This occurs in the Faure Requiem when the structure is presented in the following way:
1. Introit and Kyrie - SATB choir
2. Offetory - baritone and choir
3. Sactus - SATB choir
4. Pie Jesu - Soprano Solo
5. Agnus Dei - SATB choir

thread_title:  Observation 

message: He could never have a design plan in place for the Qur’an because the revelation of many of its verses depended on events that were out of his control.
Our observation of the element of design in this Surah must lead to the inevitable conclusion that the tradition of its composition over many years is obviously mistaken. 
And what could be the purpose of such a design? Only to ease recitation (indeed, recitation is what Qur'an literally means). Then why must we cling to the tradition of it being received by prophetic dictation? Doesn't it instead give every indication of having been an oral text communicating large portions of another unwritten epos, a kind of Arabic Al-Injīl? Nuttyskin (talk) 00:15, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
