Talk:1778

message: I have made some year layout proposals which would affect a significant proportion of the year pages: an example of proposed style is 1850. It is detailed on my talk page. However pre 1800 the change is largely cosmetic.

thread_title:  years page layout

message: 09-December-2006: As of December 2006, each year has a different format, as people add events or subhead categories, "Ship events" and such.  Year 1778 had month-name subheads parallel to the "Events" subhead (which had events with no months).  I divided Events as 3 groups: Jan-June, July-December, and Unknown-dates.  It seems unless month names are identified in subheaders, the un-dated events get added into scattered locations.  As with any Wiki article, the format evolves, and multiple people must edit to maintain all 5:  new facts, accurate facts, images, Wiki-format, and consistency with related articles.  It is too difficult to expect each person will master all 5 jobs.  -Wikid77 17:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Nightstand

message: Dicdef.  RickK 03:43, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I'm continually amazed at the number of contributors who assume that just because they aren't themselves interested in a topic, nobody else is either. See the deletion debate above for some good (that is, appalling) examples of this sort of thinking.
And I guess the removal of the images I added of a traditional nightstand is another case in point. Surely the term nightstand refers primarily to these traditional ones rather than to a modern bedside table? Interested in other views on this, but here in Australia that seems to be the case.
That being so, it's hard to understand why we'd have only an image of a modern "nightstand" in the article. The images were proposed for deletion as orphans, which is why I came here for a look.
Please don't remove content just because it doesn't interest you personally. Fans of old furniture love nightstands, and there's every chance this stub will become a good article if given the chance. Andrewa (talk) 20:45, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I've heard recently that the term of 'nightstand' comes from a servant who would stand by the bedside holding a candle at night, which by extension came to be used for the small table or locker that it is today? Has anyone else heard of this, or would know where to look?
The corresponding term in Portuguese is "criado-mudo", which quite explicitly comes from a term describing a muted domestic servant who would stand by the bed at night, and which has seen attempts at changing due to racist connotations recently, so I'm wondering if the English word is in any way related as the name suggests?109.79.116.207 (talk) 09:33, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Glass ceiling

message: Maybe some critical section for all this feminist crap?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.153.87.247 (talk) 09:21, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Few women tend to reach positions in upper echelon and organizations largely are still almost exclusively lead by men. Studies have shown that the glass ceiling still exists in varying levels in different nations and regions across the world.  The stereotypes of women as emotional and sensitive could be seen as key characteristics as to why women struggle to break the glass ceiling. It is clear that even though societies differ from one another by culture, beliefs and norms, they hold similar expectations of women and their role in the society. These female stereotypes are often reinforced in societies that have traditional expectations of women.  The stereotypes and perceptions of women are changing slowly across the world, which also reduces gender segregation in organizations.

Talk:Schönebeck

message: This is another occasion where the town article and the district article should have been merged. There is very little point in keeping town and district apart as, to take just one example, the River Elbe connects both and the flood meadows being part of the district villages take up a lot of the high-water volume when flooding does occur in and around the town as did happen two years ago. This aspect should be brought out, it is part of the story of Schönebeck. --Dieter Simon 01:23, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I strongly disagree - the city and the district aren't identical, and thus shouldn't be covered the same article. The only things where the two articles might partially overlap is the history. Don't forget 90% of the area of the district does not belong to the town, but are politically separate entities with their own history, geography, coat of arms etc. Of course the stub we have for the town needs enlargement, but not by throwing together things which don't belong together. andy 21:05, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

But Huckleberry Finn isn't a picaresque at all.  It's a Bildungsroman, a story of coming-of-age and personal growth.  It has a central plot.  It isn't especially satirical.  Most importantly, rather than an outsider acting immorally, Huck is an outsider acting more morally than society.  Philgoetz (talk) 19:36, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
