Talk:James Bond

message: The lede gives two different figures, very close to each other, for how much money the series has made: $7.04 billion and $19.9 billion. I'm guessing that the first number is the first-run box-office gross, while the second number would include everything (DVD sales, toys, etc.). But it gets confusing to see both described as being the “n-th highest-grossing”, with apparently two different senses of “grossing” that aren't explained. 2604:3D09:A97D:E200:38EE:3AE5:9CAE:3490 (talk) 17:45, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

message: The table in the Bans and censorship by country section needs work. Aside from being woefully incomplete, when the different columns are selected, the information changes, but the horizontal labels remain in the same place, making a complete mockery of what it's trying to show. I'm not sure who did the table, but they need to fix it. Better still would be to put it in prose, rather than a table. I'm not sure the table brings any benefits to it, given the information it's providing. - SchroCat (talk) 20:31, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:J. Edgar Hoover

message: "Tolson accepted the American flag that draped Hoover's casket."
What does it mean "to accept" a flag? 2601:200:C000:1A0:B15B:237F:FBAF:F56D (talk) 15:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: When the American flag is removed from the casket and folded into a triangle it is then handed to a close family member of the deceased person, often a spouse or parent. If there are no family members at the funeral someone close to the deceased will be given the flag. If the person doesn't refuse to take the folded flag, it has been accepted.

message: According to this article, while in high school Hoover "participated in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps program". It is my understanding that ROTC is not something you do in high school. Also, according to the Wikipedia article on ROTC ("not a source" obviously but nevertheless), ROTC did not exist back when Hoover was in high school. Hoover was born in 1895, "ROTC started at Harvard in 1916" according to Wikipedia, there is simply no way Hoover ever "participated in" the ROTC. This really is of no importance (talk) 15:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Julian (emperor)

message: The article says that Julians belief in monotheism show Christian influence. But that's absurd, because pythagoreanism, orphism, and neoplatonism believe in an underlying reality (The Monad), which is essentially the same as the Brahman in eastern philosophy. The Enneads are full of references to The One, the Monad. Wikipedia "scholars" once again showing they don't really have any clue what they're talking about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.215.211 (talk • contribs) 17:38, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: I am not quite sure what you mean by "unknown letters". The letters are actually known to a lot of people.

Talk:Takamine Jōkichi

message: At present, the article says: "While in the US, Takamine was married to Caroline Field Hitch." Does this mean that he was not married later in life or elsewhere, or does it just mean that the marriage took place in the US?

Talk:Johann Homann

message: I think you might want to check your Latin.  "Cum privilegio sacrae majestatis" doesn't necessarily mean that he was the Imperial Geographer.  It may (and probably does) simply mean that he was granted certain rights or priveleges -- which could be about as valuable as the Twinings tea company (for example, and no offense meant to this fine company) having the right to put "by appointment to the Queen" on its packaging.  This is a very far cry from being an imperial anything. JHK
He was appointed imperial geographer, but the phrase in Latin might just be in connection to the general description of the imperial privilege to appoint. 
(I added the info from Schlesien to M. Heilwig)
user:H.J.
Two other usages of 'privilege' - 'privilege' can be an overstatement of the fact that the monarch was one of the subscribers - expensive books were usually published by subscription, and if the monarch deigned to subscribe the publisher sometimes - ahem - overstated his relationship to the monarch.  Also quite frequently in early modern Europe the 'privilege' was no more than the permission to publish if that permission came directly from an imperial court rather than from other level of censorship.  Giving privileges to individuals was a practice of every monarch in Europe - not reserved to the emperors.  Indeed, even ruling Dukes and Counts did it.  --MichaelTinkler

http://www.stub.unibe.ch/dach/ch/ch/summaries/e24e.html
:Hi again -- I just read this page -- it says that Homann was granted an early form of imperial copyright -- not that he was an imperial anything.  Sorry. JHK
-----------
JHK the article states :
..."a document concerning the appointment of Johann Baptist Homann (1664–1724) as the imperial geographer was found at the end of 2000. Included in the document was the corresponding petition by Homann to Emperor Charles VI. (reigned 1711–1740)."
Is that a wrong statement, that Homann was an imperial geographer?
user:H.J.
Are original prints of Homann's maps common or a rarity. I have one of his maps from 1710 of the Duchy of Wurtemburg.
