Talk:Volsinii

message: There's talk of an "attempted revolution" in 280 BC, and the language is really ruddy, pointing to "the" revolution before it's even mentioned. What's more, I read somewhere that "inter marriage" is a real euphemism for rape, maybe even prima nocta, and also of torture;
"When the plebeians of the Etruscan city of Volsinii rebelled against the aristocrats in 280 BC, "They took their wives for themselves and placed the daughters of the nobles under the jus primae noctis, while all their former masters on whom they could lay hands were tortured to death."[10]"

Talk:Nevada State Athletic Commission

message: In the TV series The Simpsons, season 8 episode 10, there is a reference to the Nevada Boxing Commissioner.  The implication is the commissioner is impotent when it comes to enforcing rules in boxing.
Is this a known criticism if the commissioner?  If so I believe it would be worth mentioning in the article (the impotence not The Simpsons). LegendLength (talk) 05:46, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily.  The quote in The Springfield Files came from Mr. Burns as mentioned in IMDB.  As I recall, this was in light of Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield headbutt problems, although I'm not certain.  Controversies like these pop up but our encyclopedia has to rely on reputable secondary sources.  If a boxing writer or other sports analyst explains the issue, the reference made on The Simpsons will be worth entering. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

On another line, explanation of different approaches to the rail fence cipher using initial offset should not be seen as additional complication but an enhancement of the description of the cipher.

Talk:Wigtown

message: Some of the syntax here is really difficult to grasp; it almost sounds BabelFished, in parts.  For example, about two-thirds of the way through the "history" section, it reads "Wigtown had two ports which some writers have asserted were closed at night to form a large cattle enclosure...The ports of the town were formed by projecting houses stretching across the street from both sides and a gate being placed in the centre. In the late nineteenth century, one of these projecting houses still stood at the site of the West Port, and was a thing, in his opinion, ‘anything but ornamental to the town’. The town council in 1761 decided that the ports were ‘hurtful to the place’ in that they ‘greatly incommode the carrying of corps of the deceased through the same’. Stone from the ports, which were ordered to be pulled down to there their foundations, was ordered to be stored in a most secure manner, so that ‘they may answer the uses of the burgh when they have the occasion’. In 1742 there is a reference to digging a well outside the west Port."  What manner of "ports" are they referring to?  The standard English usage of "port" (in the context of an area of a town) is "a place where ships load or unload", or take refuge.  So how could the port of Wigtown be used as a cattle enclosure, unless the cattle floated in the sea?  How could a port be formed by "projecting houses stretching across the street"?  And how could a well have been dug "outside the west port" without it filling with saltwater?  Finally, how could ports "greatly incommode the carrying of corps [sic] of the deceased through the (town)"?  Clearly the WP entry's use of "port" is in error, and I suspect much more.  If someone with some knowledge of Wigtown could rewrite the entry, I think it would benefit all who visited. Bricology 00:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Effects of cremation 

message: I'm surprised more hasn't been mentioned about this, but...
The account here says Service got the idea in 1904, and published the poem in 1907.
A famous collection of humor by Thomas W. Jackson, "On a Slow Train Through Arkansaw" ('Funny Railroad Stories, Sayings of the Southern Darkies, All the Latest and Best Minstrel Jokes of the Day') is copyrighted 1903.  (My copy was found via Google Books.)  In it, on p.93, we find this tidbit:  
"While I was in Dawson City there was a man froze to death.  They decided they would cremate him.  They fired up the crematory.  When it got red hot they put him in the oven.  After he had been in there for several hours they supposed he had been thoroughly cremated.  They opened the door.  When they did they saw him sitting up in one corner of the oven with his coat on.  He said, "Shut that door.  This is the first time I have been warm since I have been in Alaska."
While Service clearly gets the credit for making this story into a great work of poetry -- at least, of its kind -- he equally clearly lifted the idea and the punchline (upon which so much of the humor of the poem depends) from a previous source, without attribution that I can find documented.
