thread_title:  No mention of RuPaul’s 1993 duet with Elton John? 

message: There's a note on Sasha Velour that a non-primary source is needed, but I added one in already: RuPaul#cite note-92
So I'm unsure why it was added back in and I don't want to just keep taking the note out if it's just going to keep getting added back in. The only reason for the citation is to note her non-binary gender / gender fluidity. Perhaps she needs to be moved in the article, but at this point, should we just remove the Tweet source since that's what seems to be causing confusion? OIM20 (talk) 04:40, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  there are more events in year 666

message: It is belived that 666 is the number of the devil which is incorrect, the passage reads "and his number is six hunder threescore and six" however a new 2005 translation of the book of revelation clearly shows it to be 616.

thread_title:  misconception2 

message: I once remember hearing a story that the Roman Catholic Church, in fear of naming a year 666, skipped it out of their official calendars so that the year following 665 was named 667; much in the same way that buildings in the USA still have no floor between the 12th and the 14th.  Is there any truth to this tale or is it another misconception?  Kind regards--Calabraxthis (talk)  13:22, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: NO! Check the bible. The number of the beast isn't even 666! It was changed purely for aesthetics.____________ You should be careful not to speak so matter of factly about what the KJV Bible or any legitimate translations doesn't say based on cleverly devised fables. The Scripture plainly says that, "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man: and his number is six hundred three score and six." A score is twenty by all standards. Check the etimology of the word. I won't pretend to have some private interpretation of whatever or whoever the vese refers to but know this the entity will not deceive the elect.--- I'm careful to preface this with the disclaimer that, it just seems to me noteworthy, the papacy title is pontifex maximus and the roman numerals corresponding to those letters do equal 666. Could it be that this is the count of his name mentioned, Rev. 13:17?

thread_title:  Killed by pouring molten gold down the throat??? 

message: There are several versions about the way in which Valdivia met his death. Since there were no Spanish survivors to the Battle of Tucapel, we have only the versions that were collected from the mapuche warriors quite some time after the fact, and were undoubtedly tinged with legend. In "La Araucana", the version is that the Spaniard´s first notice of his death was when Caupolican appeared at a parliament dressed with his clothes. The "molten gold" one is just one of the most fanciful versions, but improbable as is, is impossible to disprove it. Other versions indicate that he was taken prisoner alive but badly injured, and as he was considered a brave soldier was kept as a prisoner for some days, then was killed with a maze, and his heart was equally divided and eaten by the warriors. Again, difficult to say where myth dissapears. Mel Romero 16:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 24 November 2023 

message: I hate to reopen this closely-related discussion, but I'm wondering if a slightly different approach might be possible. 
Raymond Roman Thierry Polański (né Liebling; 18 August 1933) is a French and Polish film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor who in 1977 was convicted of a sex crime.
Again, not trying to stir the pot, just wondering if we don't state it as "Polanski is a French and Polish film director, producer, screenwriter, actor and convicted sex offender" we might be able to find consensus that the conviction does actually belong in the first sentence. Just not the label.
Feel free to shut me down if everyone thinks this is unlikely to change anyone's view on including this in the lead, again not intending to disrupt here. I just do really think the fact is important enough in summarizing this article for the lead, and wondered if maybe the problem was the language  -- that is, using a negative label rather than a neutrally-stated fact -- that was being proposed. Valereee (talk) 12:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, I get it, and I respect the discussions, which are long and complex enough that I wasn't sure whether mentioning it as a simple neutral fact  rather than labeling him as a sex offender, which is what the recent discussions look to be about, had been part of previous discussions.

Copyright?
:Page was reworked by me in an attempt to overcome that. I'll go through it again to make sure. Bryan
Gotcha. I wonder how much "reworking" should be considered "ok"?
:I don't actually know. In theory copyright only covers the specific expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves, but in practice I think the dividing line gets blurry sometimes. I tried to make every sentence substantially different from the original, moving information around and reorganizing, and also splicing in a few bits of information I found elsewhere. I guess since you "caught" me I didn't do a good enough job of it originally. That site listed above seems to be the only one Google can find that has substantial information about Smyth, though, so there wasn't much else to work with; there are only so many ways to say the same things.

message: An autosome is an ordinary paired chromosome that is the same in all genders of a species.
:Shouldn't that be sexes rather than genders? --Brion 00:45 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)
An autosomal dominant gene is one on an autosome and is always expressed, even if a single copy exists.
The chance is 1:2 for passing this gene to offspring.
Surely the second sentence above is incorrect?  Unless something funny happens during recombination, the author has
got phenotypes mixed up with genotypes - if the parent in question is heterozygous then there is a 50% chance the
gene passed on from that parent is passed to the offspring.
You're right--and I think the last two sentences should be deleted. It looks like it's giving an example of how one would use the word "autosomal," so the second and third sentences, be they correct or not (and the second is not correct) are irrelevant. --ClarkFreifeld 21:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Fanny

message: With the addition of the vagina disambig, I thought it only proper to include the American use of the word meaning buttocks as well. The wiki article "buttocks" also links directly to fanny, thus I thought it appropriate to have it included here, as otherwise I feel the article would be incomplete and possibly cause confusion to those who were unaware of the useage difference.  Livingston 10:22, 04 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Buttocks 

message: I'm not sure we had gotten clear by 2.5 years ago that "disambig article" is a contradiction in terms, but we are now. A dab is not an article, and more to the point the theoretical potential for an article on "fanny" with the meaning of vagina or buttocks (since we have one on "fuck") is irrelevant. The purpose of a that kind of Dab entry on the "Fanny" Dab would be to help someone who would look for encyclopedic information on the vagina or the buttocks by typing in "fanny"; they are too rare to consider. If you want to write a Fuck-like article on "fanny" -- i.e., one titled Fanny (body part) that provides not anatomical info but verifiable info on word usage, presumably including linguist's opinion about why the usage differs with country -- give it a shot; if it can survive AfD, it should get a Dab entry on the accompanying Dab page. --Jerzy•t 20:22 & 21:21, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Anne Rice

message: This section should probably be re-written: "Following the publication of Interview with the Vampire, while living in California, Rice wrote two historical novels, The Feast of All Saints and Cry to Heaven, along with four erotic novels (The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty's Punishment, Beauty's Release, and Beauty's Kingdom) under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure"
Beauty's Kingdom was written 30 YEARS after Beauty's Release, and is markedly different in content and tone. The way it's written right now suggests they were written in close succession, all in California. In fact she has moved many times in those 30 years.
