Talk:Louis-Alexandre Berthier

message: I don't know who wrote this and I don't want to know... in any case the work is now attributed. Tirronan (talk) 05:29, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Did some research: Almost the entirety of the article is copied word for word from the 1910-11 Encyclopedia Britannica.  Much of it needs to be rewritten to meet the standards of a modern encyclopedia.  On a broader note: What's with all of these Napoleonic articles featuring content copied from the 1911 Britannica?  Marechal Ney (talk) 03:20, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica is now in the public domain, and can be used as a source without restriction, although Wikipedia standards call for attribution of the material to that source. Many Wikipedia articles were originally taken from that source both because it is now in public domain and because until quite recently it has been regarded as extremely detailed (although dated) content-wise and an enduring model of English scholarly prose. Subsequent editions, crowded by scientific developments, drastically shortened most of its historical and, particularly, its biographical articles and have dumbed down the exquisitely nuanced text. Most Wiki articles originally sourced to the 1911 are being gradually updated employing a less exclusively Western perspective and more "modernised" prose.

Talk:Bandh

message: What's the difference between a bandh and a hartal?  Could someone please go through and define all these specifically Indian-English protest terms such as bandh, hartal, dharna, gherao, so as to draw attention to what the differences are between them, and how (if at all) they differ from UK/American English words such as strike, sit-in, etc?
I follow protest news from around the world and regularly come across these terms in the English-language Indian press, and I'm interested in whether the distinct terms which are used reveal anything specific about how social movements operate in India.  I find it interesting, for instance, that while a UK/US "strike" can only usually be called by a union or other occupational body, a bandh can be called by almost any social organisation; and also that bandhs often involve roadblocks and attempts to "enforce" the bandh by blockading, by various actions against people who are active during a bandh, etc.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.32.6 (talk) 23:30, 7 February 2005
Well, at least Bandh and Hartal mean the same thing.  "Gherao" can be literally translated as "surround/envelope",and can also be used as a verb
i.e. to "gherao" the police, meaning to physically surround them say for example in the context of a street protest.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.184.241.112 (talk) 00:09, 21 December 2005
:As I understand, a hartal is like a strike while a bandh is more active, like a protest. Bandhs often get violent while hartals are generally peaceful. However, in some states where bandhs are banned, hartals are just bandhs with a different name. As 70.184.241.112 described above, gheraoing usually has the target (usually a politician or an office building) surrounded by large crowds. A dharna is when someone fasts at another's door (usually a debtor's) until the demands are met. --Joshua Issac (talk) 17:40, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:The Littles

message: Corrected the first paragraph to indicate that the television show is not based on The Borrowers but on the series of books called "The Littles."
I also eliminated the phrase: "Such a drastic change to encourage viewers is sometimes known as Jumping the shark." Without explaination as to why "jumping the shark" is an applicable phrase in this particular instance, the sentance was extraneous. (On conferring with the Jumping the shark entry, I'm not even certain that its use here was accurate usage.) ~Chris S 00:06, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Split

message: I added clarification to the section about Henry Bigg and deleted the comment at the top of the page that Henry knows about the Littles in the TV series but not in the book series.  I believe this information is better left within Henry's description.  In addition, I contrasted what the movie says about how Henry discovered the Littles versus the TV series' description, without saying which one is correct.  The movie is probably correct, but it also came out after the second season did.  Wxkat (talk) 13:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Castlevania: Bloodlines

message: The musical style in this game really is no different to that of the other titles in the series. Mozart certainly never used bass guitars, drum kits and pop/rock sensibilities as heavily as Michiru Yamane did here - and it's not like they're just ornamentation; they play a large role in the music itself. There is of course a baroque edge to the music (and a bit of rococo), but that's pretty much been there throughout the entire series.
I'm for simply removing the paragraph altogether, but I don't want to erase somebody's hard work without discussion.--Gwilym 20:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Music style 

message: Atrocious paragraph is atrocious.
Even though Australia shares the PAL format with Europe, Sega Ozisoft (Sega Ozisoft at the time before it became Sega Australia), <B>didn't think</b> that Australia needed a censored European verion, so Sega Ozisoft released Castlevania: Bloodlines uncensored with permission by Konami Oceania.
Not only do I need to not explain the part in bold, but there are absolutely no sources for this.
