Talk:Shem Drowne

message: can anyone find the church that Shem was a Deacon of?
Shem Drowne was the deacon of the First Baptist Church of Boston. 
Its two colonial buildings do not exist, but they were both located on Margin and Stillman Streets (the First Baptist history in Google Books has a picture of it). 
The congregation, like many other Boston churches in the Federalist/Victorian eras, moved out of the area to the larger Back Bay, once it was filled in, and its present building is on Commonwealth Ave. (The former Brattle Sq. III site, c. 1871-3, and H.H. Richardson's first commission).
I also think the gravestone noted for Copp's Hill is his, not his brother's, also; I will double check but we have always sung "Old Hundredth" to him on tours there and I'm pretty sure it's Shem's stone. 
I might have a photo of the gravestone also, but will have to find it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dellaroux (talk • contribs) 00:07, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Finedon

message: I have deleted the part in this article about "jokes and inbreeding", because I have never heard these jokes and the actual meaning of the sentence was unclear. It has been replaced with something which captures the fact the Finedon people think themselves as separate from Wellingborough.  Also added is a little more detail about the church, namely the bells and organ, both of which deserve a mention.

Talk:Apollo Creed

message: He's dead, how come it just shows his birth date?
"Stats are wrong, Apollo's win against Rocky was on points so 47 fights, 45 KO, 1 distance, 1 loss (ko'd)" 
What? Have you ever watched boxing? Apollo's record stands at 47-1 (46 KO). The distance fight against Rocky was scored a win by split decision for Apollo. If you ever watched boxing you would know that a decision counts as much for a win as a knockout. 
Learn some math buddy. (48 fights) 47 wins + 1 loss = 47-1. 46 of the 47 victories were by knockout. Thus Apollo's record stands at 47-1 (46 KO). The Ivan Drago match was an exhibition thus does not count toward either fighters professional record. It was suppose to be for fun and show but it turned out horribly wrong. 
This page seems far too anecdoatal, terms like "so these guys are haivng a slug fest" just lack of quality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.33.207.195 (talk • contribs).

:It does sound a good idea - there are  methods used for XRD for clays that are not needed for other minerals.

message: As the three examples given (from French-speaking Canada, Croatia and Germany) show, "allée" is only used in languages other than English - what's more, the word used in Zagreb is "Aleja" ("Aleja Bologne"), and in Berlin it's "Allee" without an accent - so the French word is only used in French-speaking countries (makes sense, doesn't it?). I feel this should either be deleted (along with the reference to "allée" at the beginning of the article), or else expanded to indicate that this doesn't apply in English - but then what's it doing here in the first place? And "alley" won't do either, since it only means a narrow, often dilapidated and insanitary side street, invariably without the trees that make an avenue what it is (see the reference to the "Alley" article at the end of this one). It's incorrectly used several times in this article, so I've changed it to "avenue" throughout - or, in the case of the nonsensical "Bologna Alley" in Zagreb (it's a major four-lane road, not a poky little English "alley"!), deleted it altogether .213.127.210.95 (talk) 15:13, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Meaning  and History 

message: In the section "Meaning and History" I found this passage:
:Critics have traced the use and re-use of such topoi from the literature of classical antiquity through the 18th century to postmodern literature. This is illustrated in the study of archetypal heroes and in the theory of The Hero With A Thousand Faces (1949), a book written by modern theorist Joseph Campbell. For example, stories passed down from pre-historic societies contain literary aspects, characters, or settings that appear again and again in stories from ancient civilizations, religious texts, and even more modern stories. The biblical creation myths and "the flood" are two examples, as they are repeated in other civilizations' earliest texts such as the Epic of Gilgamesh or deluge myth, and are seen again and again in historical texts and references.[citation needed]
Not one topos is mentioned in this paragraph, so there is no evidence of any work that critics have done to show that some topos has been in continual use from classical antiquity to the present day.  Instead, the paragraph simply states that the flood myth has appeared in Gilgamesh, the bible, and in historical texts—but a myth is not a topos, so the observation is irrelevant.  Since an archetype is not a topos, either, Campbell's book is unrelated to the topic as well.  I have therefore removed the paragraph.Wordwright (talk) 14:24, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
