Talk:Disco

message: Discotheques may have started before 1966, rather than in the late 1960s. An episode of Batman that starred Jill St. John that aired January 12, 1966 had a discotheque in it. If they really did start after this episode, then Batman may be the reason that discotheques exist. Otherwise they started before 1966. — James Foit  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.77.147.212 (talk) 03:27, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Władysław I Herman

message: The king name was Władysław in Polish and was also spelled: Wladislaus (early Latinized version) or Vladislaus (late Latin and English version), never Ladislaus. This shoud be corrected. Below is a sample of original documents sign by the Vladislaus kings. Althout the form Wladislaus was used more often, in my opinion Vladislaus is much better here, beacuse it is more modern version and more English. Vladislaus Rex 00:33, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Although Vladislav (1m) and Ladislav (800k) seem to be more popular then Wladyslaw (400k), Wladyslaw and Władysław (which is the correct proper spelling) trump them in historical context search by about 2300 to 173 (Vladislav) / 2 (Ladislav). Wladislaw gets about 1500, and the the most popular of the latiznized -us variants is Wladislaus with 800 (this is including Wiki and its mirrors). Therefore Władysław seem to be the best choice for the first name (same as in original language and the most popular).
Second name: Herman 1500, I of Poland about 1100 and I Herman about 2500. Therefore the move to Władysław I Herman seems the best choice.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I would just fix it, but then we'd have two Pothole McDucks, which really wouldn't help. And maybe there is an English translation, and it does claim that the twin McDucks are both named Scrooge. But being named after an uncle makes more sense than having the same name as your half brother.
(And, yes, a twin half brother makes sense--two eggs from the same mother can be fertilized by two different fathers. It's rare, but it happens.)

There seem to be so many articles on optics-related topics that maybe a list of optical topics is appropriate.  Opinions? 131.183.85.197 20:07 Apr 21, 2003 (UTC)
To a certain extent this serves that  purpose, but redundancy is alway good. By all means make one. Fred Bauder 21:06 Apr 21, 2003 (UTC)
If I work on it I will need to proceed slowly; other will have to contribute too, if it is to go beyond the somewhat stubby stage.  This list comes nowhere near serving the purpose, because most of the optical topics probably would not be appropriate for inclusion here. 131.183.85.197 21:12 Apr 21, 2003 (UTC)

Pulled from the text for being POV. I am not a practicing Catholic (or really of any denomination of Christianity), but if the following is true, it needs to be developed in the article, not tacked on at the end in a fit of condescension -- llywrch 21:53 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)
::Elizabeth the First was not Catholic. Her father, Henry the Eighth seperated England from the Church, and thus created the Church of England,  which, as far as I'm led to believe, is Protestant. Hence another bunch of religious problems which include Elizabeth against her older half-sister Mary, who was a Catholic whose mother, Catherine, who was divorced from Henry (thus the Church thing), who was from Spain, and very closely linked to the Church. Okay, aside from the history lesson, and I just re-read what you wrote so the above is pointless, but Elizabeth I used the idea as a virgin because she didn't want to marry. I mean, her father beheaded two of his wives, and many more problems arose from married people that were involved in her life. So she chose to remain unmarried (whether or not she was still a virgin, is probably still up for debate). So she was kind of.. a technical virgin. In a way, it solved alot of the problems of the monarchy, but after her, the Tudor dynasty ended, and it went to her.. nephew or cousin or something. Disinclination 00:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Douglas MacArthur

message: The syntax of the opening of the early life section is confusing in that it makes it sound as though Arthur MacArthur Jr. received his Medal of Honor after Douglas' birth, not before.
"A military brat, Douglas MacArthur was born 26 January 1880, at Little Rock Barracks in Arkansas, to Arthur MacArthur Jr., a U.S. Army captain, and his wife, Mary Pinkney Hardy MacArthur (nicknamed "Pinky"). Arthur Jr. was a son of Scottish-born jurist and politician Arthur MacArthur Sr. Arthur Jr. would later receive the Medal of Honor for his actions with the Union Army in the Battle of Missionary Ridge during the American Civil War, and be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general."

In Manila, MacArthur was a member of the Freemasons. At the time of the occupation of Japan, MacArthur belonged to Manila Lodge No. 1 and was in the 32nd Masonic rank.
In the second sentence, should the first clause be: "At the time of the occupation BY Japan"? If not, I'm baffled as to how MacArthur's Masonic Lodge affiliation in Manila would have any relevance to the occupation OF Japan--especially since his time in Tokyo would certainly have taken away from any time he could spend in Manila.

Currently characters per inch redirects to the "pitch (typewriter)" article, which seems to focus only on horizontal distances.
Is there some other article that covers vertical distances, and in particular "characters per inch vertically", or should the "pitch (typewriter)" article be expanded to also cover vertical distances?

I think I got the term, as well as the bear example, from the appendix to the AHD. I don't have the AHD handy, so if you do, please check. -PierreAbbat
: Uh ... I guess you mean the American Heritage Dictionary (AHD can stand for a lot of things -- am I wrong)?  Okay, this is a respected source but it is pretty limited -- I hope someone out there can add more information, viz. who coined the term, how widespread is its use, and in what ways is it different from "euphimism"  SR
----
I can understand the desire for a replacement for "breast", but "thigh" and "leg"? Needs some explanation if it's true. I wouldn't think that the terms "drumstick" and "white meat" were invented because of the desire to avoid a taboo word. "Drumstick" is a fun word for little kids, and "white meat" contrasts to "dark meat", which is a useful distinction.
Also, what use is a replacement for an Indo-European word in an English Wikipedia? How do you have a replacement for an Indo-European word, which is a language that doesn't really exist (nobody actually speaks it)? Why would "bear" be a taboo word anyway? --GG
As indicated above, I removed the following section:
----
Some taboo-replaced words:
; rksos (Indo-European bear) : bruin (brown) in Germanic, medw-etis (honey-eater) in Slavic
; leg (of chicken) : drumstick
; thigh : second joint
; breast : white meat
----
Clicked in looking actual for information on words being replaced in actual language because the original term is taboo... basically like a negative female concept originally named Sheeboo (totally made up) being called "she who shall not be named" for so long that a variant of the words for 'she who shall not be named' BECOMES the name... but instead I got a list of modern euphemisms... different things, or at least at very different parts of their evolutionary paths..  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.92.44.197 (talk) 09:47, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
