message: At one point during the story, Ralson shouts that to the alien intelligences "A thousand years are but as yesterday".  This seems like a fairly direct quotation of Psalm 90:4, "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.".  I don't recall Asimov making Biblical references in his work at any other point - if a source could be found I think that could be worth adding to the article. 82.29.127.81 (talk) 19:51, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Template talk:Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

message: This really is great work.  But there usual policy with Cyrillic is to give a modified Library of Congress transliteration, and to use others if it's more common in English.

message: I've noted an incoherence. It is said that a chinese translation was written by Dharmarakṣa in 420 AD, but Dharmarakṣa lived in the 3rd-4th century (239-316 AD). If the date 420 AD is correct, the translator should be Dharmakṣema (385-435/6 AD). The similarity of their names may lead to confusion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eudox (talk • contribs) 11:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dharmarakṣa or Dharmakṣema ? 

message: The following text seems top be a word for word copy from this website: 
http://www.mahavirmandirpatna.org/Restoration%20of%20the%20Buddhacharita.html
In the 9th decade of the 20th century Mahant Ramchandra Das Shastri from Jabalpur (M.P.) had tried to complete the epic by translating into Sanskrit on the basis of Hindi translation by Suryanarayan Chaudhari. He completed the work using only ‘Anustup’ meter. It was published from ‘Chaukhamba Vidyabhavan’Varanasi. Although he has  completed it, yet the translation does not represent the original because of the use of a short meter. Mahant Ram Chandra Das did not consider the use of meter in original. So the translation became brief and many poetic effects remained unexpressed.
Pandit Bhavanath Jha, the Publication and Research Officer, Mahavir Mandir, Patna, Bihar (India) has restored the doomed portion of the Buddhacarita (canto 15 to 28). The present poetic – translation/restoration is the verbatim to the Tibetan-English text given by Johnston and supposed to be much close to the original Sanskrit text. The present translator has also completed the broken portion in the English translation done by Johnston borrowing the concerned expressions from the Chinese text to maintain fluency of the poetry in the way of Indian tradition of the poetics. Therefore it can be mentioned as the restoration of the doomed text of the Buddhacharitam. It will give the original taste, rhythm and musical effect to readers and devotees of Lord Buddha as it has been produced in the original rhythm and language.
I propose to delete this. The details of the retranslation of the english text (from the Tibetan version) into sanskrit poetry do not seem to be essential information for the english speaking reader. JimRenge (talk) 15:51, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Buy Jupiter and Other Stories

message: I'm throwing a notability flag on this one.   Sure, Asimov was a great writer, but that doesn't make everything that he ever wrote notable.  "Buy Jupiter" is a collection of previously published, but not previously anthologized, short stories, and the author acknowledged that in some cases there might be a very good reason for that!  
Similarly, the stubs that someone have created for each of the stories question notability as well.  There's almost nothing to say about most of them, aside from the plot synopsis.  For them to be notable, I would like to see some sort of explanation of their historical or literary importance.
GodaiNoBaka (talk) 18:40, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The quality of the stories has no bearing on notability, and is largely subjective anyway. The fact that they had been published before is also irrelevant. There don't need to be individual articles on every story though. Richard75 (talk) 12:37, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

The JBO version is a cover (translated into German) of the Bloodhound Gang song "Fire Water Burn" already mentioned on this page. My German isn't good enough to attempt translation of the lyrics, but the tune is identical, even down to the "ooh ooh" around 3-4 minutes into the song.

Prior to 1945, Giżycko was officially Lötzen, not Lötzen, and the German name should not be italicized.

thread_title:  The image 

message: Can we please stay relevant here? The pictures are totally unnecessary. Wikipedia is also not the place for new research, right? Therefore new representations that are inspired by the poems don't belong here, only canonical or strongly associated images do. You wouldn't take impressionistic photos of people for other topics and place them on other pages. Human behaviour that can be demonstrated, phenomena that  is somewhat standard, sure. That means, in wikipedia terms, drawings of oral sex and photos of the spots on a butterfly's wings. Okay.  Perhaps appropriate images to put with Catullus could be pictures of the locales in which he wrote, a picture of a sparrow? Yes we read Catullus because we want him to mean something for us, now, whoever we are. However, we can't understand it, we can only make something out of it. Making images out of it, that are unquestionably personal, is going too far. Original artwork should stay on the bathroom wall. I suppose this is the mode through which these things rise or fall- peer review. I vote no thanks. NewMind (talk) 08:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please consider the themes of the poem: love, ignoring small-minded people, the brevity of life, and lots and lots of kissing.  The images reflect that, don't you agree?  We have four images of people kissing, which doesn't seem inappropriate, considering the thousands of kisses being discussed. ;)  Of course, other images of kissing could've been used; but perhaps these are good enough?  We should probably try to find images that illustrate life's brevity and the disapproval of old men.  Willow (talk) 09:09, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Relevance of images?

message: In this article, line 5 ([nobis] cum semel occidit brevis lux) is said to refer to life itself, however, I believe the Latin text is also consistent with a more literal reading, in which lines 5-6 just say "when the day is over, we should sleep together".

Talk:Tyranny of the majority

message: I do not believe the etymology of the term "Tyranny of the Majority" as presented in this article is correct. The term itself is usually attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville's, Democracy in America, Volume 1, Part 2, Chapter 8, "On that which Tempers the Tyranny of the Majority in the United States."(1835) The danger of the omnipotence of the majority is presented in chapter 7.  Tocqueville does not claim to be the first to identify this danger.  He cites the authorship of Thomas Jefferson (letters to James Madison) and Madison (Federalist 51), circa 1788.
