Talk:Valeri Polyakov

message: "He had the unfortunate experience of being up while the USSR was coming apart." - 
Americans movies are not a trusted source of information. Do you really think that it is possible to "stuck" up there? Without preparations like food and oxygen supplies (at least)? This was well planned successful experiment. The facts:
1) USSR collapsed in 1991, not during his flight.
2) Valeriy was visited by Soyuz TM-19 during the experiment, I mean he had a chance to return.
3) He was not alone there, here is the list of persons who have partially worked with him:
Ulf Merbold,
Yelena Kondakova,
Alexander Viktorenko,
Talgat Musabayev,
Yuri Malenchenko,
Yury Usachyov,
Viktor Afanasyev.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.217.45.216 (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sidonius Apollinaris

message: Why has Sidonius been assigned to be a part of the Eastern Christianity series? Djnjwd 21:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eastern Christianity? 

message: In the "Life" section we find these words;
"Sidonius was born in Lugdunum (Lyons). His father Apollinaris (born circa 405) was the Prefect of Gaul under Valentinian III between 425 and 455 and the son of another Apollinaris, who was Praetorian Prefect of Gaul before 409 and a friend of his successor Decimus Rusticus. He seems to be a descendant of another Apollinaris, Prefect of Gaul under Constantine II between 337 and 340."  Since some non professional historians, such as my self, consider this man as another possibly misunderstood personality of the past, and possibly related to the "Authurian" theories, then maybe we might well consider his presumed place of birth, which is reported to be (from less than reliable sources) to be "Lyon(s)", now found within the boundaries of France (then called Gaul).
But, it assumed by some respected scholars that "Lyon" is but a variation of "Lion", etc.!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.19.156.227 (talk) 21:57, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I may perhaps not be understanding your point, but the English word "lion" derives from the Latin leo, leontis (Greek leon). Lyon or Lyons derives from Lugdunum, for which see Lugdunum#Name. See Apollinaris for the derivation of the name. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:46, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. Actually, the name of Sidonius' father was is not known for certain -- although "Apollinaris" is one common guess. And the only connection I've seen made between Sidonius & Lyons/Lugdunum is that he went to school in that city.

Talk:Valery Karpin

message: Karpin got Russian passport due to his USSR citizenship, but did he got the Estonian passport in 2003 by descent of Russian minority arrived before 1940s, (Jus sanguinis) or by passing language and Constitution (naturalization), or he is ethnic Estonians? Matthew_hk tc 19:20, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically you can have a dual citizenship, but only if you are a citizen of Estonia by birth. Though the citizenship law of Estonia prohibits having double citizenship, it is impossible for authorities to take away Estonian citizenship acquired by birth (Constitution of Estonia does not allow it). So, having a double citizenship is a kind of "crime" for which there is no punishment, that's why many people break this rule (for additional information you can read this article in Russian: http://www.dzd.ee/698870/grazhdane-jestonii-po-rozhdeniju-spokojno-zhivut-s-dvojnym-grazhdanstvom/ )Dilas25 (talk) 22:05, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Titus Vestricius Spurinna

message: "One member of the military, Titus Vestricius Spurinna, born around 25 AD, was a general in 69 AD, later he held the consulship. Under Domitian, he reached retirement age, but he campaigned in Germany and had a triumphal statue voted for him. Nerva succeeded Domitian, who decorated him and for whom he served as an advisor, going back to the good old days. Spurinna was alive seven years into the reign of Trajan--who appointed Spurinna a consul for the third time. Pliny visited him at beautiful Lake Como, a favorite resort for the seniors. He describes Spurinna's daily routine which has left him active, agile, energetic." . Should a separate page be made, or should this be turned into a dab instead?

Talk:Statius

message: This article "incorporates text from" the eleventh edition of Britannica?  I don't think so.  This has every hallmark of being the article from the eleventh edition of Britannica with some fairly minor and largely cosmetic decoration by people who are actually alive.  I really wish it were not possible to rip articles out of Britannica 11, because it's not like the articles in Britannica from that period are conspicuously well-written by contemporary standards.  They are riddled with purple prose, psychological speculation and unsupported assertions that wouldn't last a second if this article were by a contemporary contributor.  I'm sure that the Britannica staff fact-checked it back in the day, but they have not bothered to provide references for any of the stuff herein.  I do not come away from this article feeling like I know more about Statius.  I come away from it feeling like I have been told a charming but possibly imaginary story about him.  That's not what I want from an encyclopedia. 83.71.11.199 (talk) 21:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Sulpicia

message: I feel as though I shouldn't be the one to edit it (because I know him so it feels like I am biased), but "Habinek... suggest[s] that the poems are too sophisticated to have been written by a woman" seems to be a misrepresentation, both of his book, and of Keith's interpretation of his book.  The issue Keith raises is that Habinek discusses some of the ways in which the cultural context limited women's poetic production, but he neglects to discuss exceptions, such as Sulpicia.  Keith sees this as an effacement of Sulpicia as an author, which is problematic in its own way (although I think there are some issues with her reading of Habinek as well), but she never claims that he thinks the poems were written by a man, and I certainly haven't seen him make this claim anywhere.  Would somebody else check this, and fix it if I am correct?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.155.237.66 (talk) 02:49, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Habinek and Keith on Sulpicia

message: "Sulpicia was a poet" – surely this is a highly contentious statement for an encyclopedia. The issue is by no means decided as to whether the poems were written by a poet called Sulpicia, or were written by someone else (probably Tibullus himself) adopting the persona of Sulpicia. This entire article is written from a tendentious point of view. A far more neutral point of view is required, with arguments stated on both sides, not just on one side.

thread_title:  Sulpicia was a poet 

message: Regarding some of the language in the article, such as "many scholars have argued that her poems are not the product of Sulpicia herself" -- it's my understanding that this reflects a very outdated consensus among scholars, which has shifted substantially since the 1970s. This is not a field I know anything about, so I'm reluctant to make any changes myself; but I'd urge those more familiar with relevant scholarship to consider updating the way the questions about her authorship are framed. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 18:34, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Far from outdated. Hubbard's article doubting the existence of Sulpicia was published in 2004. Of course it doesn't fit in with modern fashions in academic circles, but it isn't very old. Kanjuzi (talk) 18:49, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

As for Gary Young, the wiki only suggests that Young didn't play drums on tracks 13-21. I think it's clear he was playing on tracks 2-7 as there's some quite different drum solo moments from Steve West's versions. It's interesting that track 8 ("Same Way of Saying") is supposed to be from the Stockton sessions with either Young or Kannenberg on drums... yet Malkmus says "Let's smoke some butts, Steve" clearly in the song.
