Talk:Incest in folklore and mythology

message: Could someone find a better wording for "Arthur accidentally begats a son by his sister Morgaine le Fay" please? Is was scarcely accidental on his part, he was merely unaware of the relationship. JohnHarris (talk) 21:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Hon Vong Phu

message: I am not entirely sure these are considered Brother and Sister in the traditional sense. Even if their DNA were identical except for the gender chromosome, the two were born at vastly different times, so they can't be considered twins. If anything, Eve is more of a clone of Adam and not a sibling. --24.20.145.95 (talk) 22:51, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The religious mythology definitely would not talk about DNA. You cannot mix mythological history of the earth and scientific history of the earth. This article is about folklore and mythology and the matter of whether they are siblings or not has to be sorted out by mythological evidence and not scientific evidence; I guess Ritigala Jayasena (talk) 09:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:James Andrew Corcoran

message: Firstly someone with an entry in the Catholic Encyclopedia should not go through a speedy deletion, but a full AFD vote.  Secondly this was not just the "editor of a newsletter" but also the theologian for the American bishops in Vatican I (the position that the present Pope held for the German bishops in Vatican II) and the author of the "Spalding Formula" on papal infalibility.

replies: text: That's poppycock. Just because something is included in another encyclopedia doesn't make it worthy for inclusion in ours. Or for that matter, inclusion in the "Catholic Encyclopedia" does not afford it any special privileges, and is still subject to all the same notability, criteria for speedy deletion and other guidelines.

Talk:Mum and the Sothsegger

message: It is not primarily a dream vision. It is primarily a debate poem in form, then is a satire in content. It draws on the dream vision tradition, and this is an important (if relatively small) part of the poem, but that is not its main categorisation either in content or form. I have therefore included the dream vision element, along with a brief description of said dream vision, within the "contents" section instead (where it joins the description of the more predominant satiric elements). 
Neither is there any evidence that Mum and the Sothsegger and Richard the Redeless are part of a two-part text. Such thinking is out of date and largely rejected within the academic community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Static shadows (talk • contribs) 21:58, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:P. G. von Donop

message: Can anybody say definitively whether his name was Pelham George or Pelham Grenville? Websites devoted to the Royal Engineers and England soccer players seem to prefer George (though the official FA site is silent on the matter), as does one of P G Wodehouse's biographers (Phelps) and the index to the Wodehouse Society's Plum Lines. Two Wodehouse biographers (Donaldson and Jasen) give it as Grenville (though Jasen's accuracy is suspect: he calls von Donop "Colonel", but he was only a lieutenant when PGW was born). 
Unless there is verifiable evidence one way or another, I propose that this article should be renamed as "Pelham von Donop", dropping the reference to the second name (but mentioning it in the text perhaps). Jimmy Pitt (talk) 23:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Answering my own question, I've located his obituary in the Times (8 November 1921), which gives his name as Pelham George von Donop; as his funeral was attended by his widow, a sister and three brothers -- all of whom presumably knew his correct name -- it's unlikely that the Times got it wrong. On the strength of this, I've moved the page and amended linking pages (in namespace only) accordingly. Jimmy Pitt (talk) 14:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Pierce the Ploughman's Crede

message: I tagged a statement in the "Significant contents" section for POV; however, the entire section reads like an essay rather than an encyclopedia article and is chock-full of unattributed opinions.  It's not clear whose opinions the statements are, making the problem difficult to repair without savaging the section.

thread_title: Purpose of this page?

message: I urge all SJWs and LGBTs to fight against this discriminatory and oppressive language. How dare you call this "reproductive system"?! You mean there's an objective, not subject to individual discretion, precise function of the penis?! You mean that we gays use our penises for something else than what evolution created them for?! Science proved homosexuality is a perfectly normal human behavior. If you call it "reproductive system", you take into account only the perspective of the powerful and abusive cis males and you totally ignore us. We exist, you know?! From our point of view, this is an "enema-tologic system". This article is just one more sign of the cis white male dominance and its totally unacceptable semantics suggest that we operate outside of a fictitious normative sexual function and any homophobic person reading this article will conclude we engage in an abnormal behavior. Wikipedia is just one another outpost of the cis patriarchy! We need to stop that! We corrupted so many disciples, we can and will conquer biology, too! There's no "reproductive system". There's only what you make of it.
"The primary direct function of the male reproductive system is to provide the male sperm for fertilization of the ovum." Wikipedia's gay oppression, c. 2017
Any Wikipedia editor which refuses to rewrite this entire article and make it politically (not factually - we don't care about facts) correct, must disclose his/her/pers/faer/vis/xyr identity and job, and I will make your employers aware of your feelings unconcerned behavior and you will get fired.

Talk:French furniture

message: Strictly speaking, the French had the "French Revolution", and the article should perhaps point out the difference between the English and the French one. One of the reasons that antique / furniture collectors in England love and buy French furniture is because artisan culture (which suffered in England due to the Industrial Revolution) thrived in France in spite of the French Revloution: the culture of making fine individually crafted pieces still existed in France up to and even beyond the second world war. After the French revolution people did not really end up becoming industrialised in the same way as they did in England. Ask any decent English antique dealer: they'll invariably tell you that the prevalence of fine French furniture is largely due to the fact that "they didn't have an industrial revolution". Also see the chapter on "The Great Estates" here: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1528696
Perhaps some if this is worth mentioning in the article, or perhaps someone should write a "French Provincial Furniture" article.

Talk:Castle of Good Hope

message: Dutch Wikipedia says, "Het Kasteel de Goede Hoop is een fort in de Zuid-Afrikaanse stad Kaapstad. Het werd tussen 1666 en 1679 in opdracht van de VOC gebouwd en is daarmee, na Rustenburg (1658), het oudste nog bestaande Europese bouwwerk in Zuid-Afrika." I assume they are talking about the house in the suburb of Rondebosch in Cape Town but they give no reference for this. Anyway, is the present day Rustenburg House the original house or a later construction? In its present condition, it certainly doesn't look older than the Castle.

Talk:Barton Creek Greenbelt

message: I've been working up some information on creating an Airmen's Cave article but after finding this article, I think the Airmen's Cave section might fit better here assuming it could be worked win well. 
The cave's length can be cited from here http://www-sop.inria.fr/agos-sophia/sis/DB/countries.html, making it the 7th longest cave in the state of texas.  Also, news articles form CNN, CBS and my favorite, the Daily Texan Online all reference an occurrence in October 2007 where 3 students were lost in the cave for 37 hours before being rescued by local fire department.  These articles contain bits of info about the cave that I believe qualify as citable since they are from accredited news sources.
Very detailed information reguarding the cave can be found here on the cave's first explorers and mappers web site, though since it is a personal account, it cannot be cited, though I think a link to the web page would be beneficial in the external links section.

message: A minor addition to this content:
Conventional process from patient to lab involves:
1) A tissue sample is taken of the lesion for sending to the lab. This could be an Incisional Biopsy, Excisional Biopsy or the least preferred Fine Needle Aspirate. Smear biopsies are also indicated but only for superficial infections such as oral candidosis (thrush).
2) Fixed in formalin (10% neutral buffered formalin)
3) Processed (expand this please)
4) stained with PAS or H&E in lab
